THEIR GAME.

THE prejudice excited by dema-
gogues and politicians against corpor-
atoms has now reached a stage where
| others are suffering. The burden
which has rested so long and heavily
on corporations and those charged
with their affairs is being distributed
and the community will soon have its
| own troubles to worry about. -.
This is not a rich mans panic; it is
a widespread distress rapidly extend
ing itself to the farthest sections of
the congratulated President
Mellen.
Which is, of course, just what the
spectators, the stock gamblers, and
the corporation magnates are trying
to bring about. 1t is their game. But
President Mellen's statements are
true only so far as the people allow
Wall street to frighten them into a
panic. 1t is only a f1nanciers, panic
thus far.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns before. the corporation fnan-
ciers whom Roosevelt's policies have
called down, have for months been
screaming about the way the presi-
dent has been undermining bust
ness but business went right on just
the same. The people only smiled at
the f1nanciers' screams. Several times
attempts were made to start panics,
but everybody outside Of Wall street
refused to be panic-stricken.
The country west of the Alleghanies
did not feel the least financial distress
until Wall street grabbed all the mon
ey in sight and refused to pay out
what it owed. That was the only way
in which the average man out over
the country could be reached by a
panic" and that is the method New
York adopted. Its own people be-
came frightened by Wall streets rot

seized on by the financiers as the psy

This was, of course, illegal, but it
was the only thing that could scare
the people, and even that would not
have succeeded If the rest of the
country had gone ahead and paid no
attention to New York.
Mr.. Mellen's statement was, of
course, directed against President
Roosevelt and other officials who are
after criminal corporations. If Mr..
Mellen and his associates can scare
the country they may be able to make
serious trouble. They have not done
so yet. The railroads and a few manu-
facturers are attempting to help mat
ters along by discharging all the men
they can spare, but there will still
be work enough for everyone if the
people keep their heads and refuse to
play into the hands of the corporation
magnates and stock gamblers.

HOW IT WILL WORK.

Owing to the fact that the Santa Fe
is issuing more than $500, 900 worth of
checks to its shop employees in Topeka
today, the banks Of the city are using
clearing house certificates, or scrip, to
handle these checks.
Although similar local currency has
been issued in most of the large cities
of the country where a large amount
of money is constantly changing hands
in small sums, it was hoped that To-
peka would be able to get along with
out resorting to this plan. And 1t
" ould have done so had 1t not been for
the necessity of handling the Santa Fe
shop payroll at one time. 1t might
have been possible to have done so any
way, but in order to avoid any possible
inconvenience the bankers of the city,
comprising the clearing house associa-
ton, decided to issue the scrip.
The only reason why it was hoped that
1t would not be necessary to issue the
scrip was because of a sort of financial
pride. The scrip will buy just as much
as any other bank or government notes,
and it will save lot of skirmishing
for change when the merchants go to
cash the checks of the Santa F'e work.
men.
For instance, suppose Mr.. Employe
has a check for $50, and he offers it to
his grocer to pay an SIS bill. Ordinarily
the grocer would give him his change
in bills and silver, but it might take a
good deal of skirmishing and running
around to other stores to get enough
bills to make the change for every en-
ploye So instead of ordinary bills the
grocer gives Mr.. Employe 81 in silver
ALL
or local bank notes. Mr.. Employe goes
to his landlord to pay his rent of $3.50.
and he offers SIS in scrip. receiving 81 so
in silver as change. Next he spends IS
in a clothing store, giving a ten-dollar
scrip, and receives 81 in change. His
wife takes the remaining fve-dollar
scrip and spends it for shoes and dry
goods.
These merchants and the landlord
take the scrip and deposit it in the
banks the same as they would any
money Thus all the scrip goes back
where it originated, but in the mean
time the grocery bill has been paid, the
rent has been paid, $13 has been spent
for necessary goods, and Mr.. Employe
has $3.50 in silver in his pocket. And
that $3.50 is all the ordinary cash that
has been required in all these transac-
tons.
If it was not for this scrip the sup
ply of five and ten dollar bills might
run out, providing too many people are
carrying some around in their pockets,
and inasmuch as Kansas City and st.
Louis and New York have not been in
clined to ship out all that might be
called for.
As a matter of fact. probably 80 per
cent of this scrip will be back in the
| banks again within 40 hours. 1t IL Just
| issued to help out in the scarcity of
| five and ten dollar bills.

AS a proof that advertising pays,
Ralph Tenna1 cites this instance in the
Sabetha Herald: Last week Lou Full
ton advertised for lost dog. Within
a few hours after the paper went to
press the lost dog was reported at
eight places. Eight different persons
located east, west. north and south
called up the Fulton home, each one
having the lost dog. How many more
persons had the lost dog we have not
inquired. but as the Herald always
brings big returns for it's advertisers,
it is safe to say that the lost dog has
been reported to Lou Fulton a grea,
many times this week. In fact we
confidently expected to see stream of
people pouring to Lou Fulton's farm
with the lost dog. The next time you
pass Lou Fulton's farm, If you see
you know that Herald advertising al
ways brings results. Later-It looks
as If we are liable to have trouble with
Lou Fulton Since writing the above,
the lost dog, and Fulton already
threatens to present a claim to us of
nine dollars for telephone tolls charged
up against him. BY Monday morning
the lost dog had gotten as far away as
Grand Island, Neb., in one direction
and Ottawa in the other. The Fulton
mail has greatly Increased in volume
since the advertisement appeared, and
the rural mail carrier had to hire an
extra horse. We may be charged up
with the horse, as well as the dogs.
We are fearful that the lost dog will
now begin to come in by express and
freight. Parties having seen the ad-
vertisement will kindly hold their
dogs, so that we can escape serious
consequences from our rash act"
