Economists of a new school are
trying, not very successfully as yet,
to spread the doctrine that it is the
most reckless of extravaganza for en-
ployers to pay their employees less
than enough to enable them to live
not only in accordance with a reason
able standard of decency and COM
fort, but so that they and their de-
scendants shall rise rather than fall
in the moral and social scale Such
economists say that men will often
work for less than society can afford
to have them work, since the result
is a decrease, slow or rapid, in en-
cheney. and that nothing Is so eXtrava-
CANT as the creation of conditions
which compel the multiplication Of
jaiIs and almshouses, free hospitals,
and charities" in general.
This brief and Imperfect exposition
of these new theories ~=> somehow
inspired by some of the less-no, least
emphasized features of the Windsor

and constant temptation Runyan was

though he be a model husband" with
no expensive habits-eXcept those OF
living in a respectable fiat and haV-

So when the man found himself at

pretty desperate situation-one that
prompts desperate measures.
Somebody will write TO us, doubt
less-perhaps several somebodies-
denouncing these remarks as a pallia-
ton or defense of theft, but they are
not, at all; they are only cropping
after an explanation of it in a par

that it's no wonder folks get con

money borrowed. with the stocks as
collateral securities, were forced to
pay their loans. They could only pay
their loans by selling the stocks at
the best price they could get. Then
when people who wanted to buy saw
the sellers were in a panic they held
off, waiting for lower prices, and thus
prevented the market receiving any
support The result was an absolute
wiping out of fortunes ranging from
81 100000 to 100000 900.
That there has been no better re-
covery from the low prices than now
obtains can be said to be due to the
shock given security holders by rail-
road legislation in the different states
and by the general feeling against
corporations.
The men in New York who made
and manipulate markets for secuTi-
ties have been the most greatly dis
turbed by the events mentioned, and
consequently have been wanting the

vance the price of their stocks.

GOVERNMENT
ASKED To ACT
Request By Chicago to Put
End to Betting on a
Boat in Lake.

A national scandal is brewing over
the operations of a steamboat on
Lake Michigan. The vessel is the
City of Travers, and it is used as a
gambling den of, it is said the worst
type. Every effort has been made by
the Chicago local authorities to sup
press the gambling on the boat, but,
thus far, the work of the authorities
has been Intellectual.
Finally, Mayor Busse, of Chicago,
presented the facts in the case to the
officials of the national government,
and appealed to them for aid in sup
pressing the operations of those who
control the steamer. The mayor ex-
planned that the vessel left Chicago
every day with load of gamblers
and went to a point in Lake Michi-
gan, which practically was the inter
section of the three states of Him
OILS, Indiana and Michigan. There
the vessel anchored. During the af-
ternoon, reports of the races in vari-
Gus parts of the country were re-
ceived by wireless telegraphy, and,
free comparatively from molestation,
the people on the vessel placed their
wages on the races precisely as they
would place them at racetrack or
in a pool room. In fact, the ship is
floating pool room.

MILLIONS Of
RICHES LOST.
What a Depressed Market
Means on the Face of
Great Fortunes.
LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE CUT
DOWN NEGOTIABLE VALUES OF
SECURITIES HANDLED IN WALL
STREET s2,ooo, 10000

Within the last six months the mar
te- value of securities dealt in on the
New York Stock Exchange has
sr~unk substantially $4,000, 900, 900.
With this enormous depreciation
there is blueness in Wall street and
z shrinkage in the fortunes of the
rich throughout the country. New
York has suffered acutely from the
loss in values, and multi-millionaires
on paper have been reduced to mod
est fortunes Of 100000 or 100000.
The fnancierS of New York and
the allies among the rich have been
the worst hit. The speculative rail-
road presidents and managers who
bought on margin securities of their
own and other companies, intending
h. market manipulations, increases in
dividends. etc, 10 reap wealth with
OF showing endeavor, are among the
big losers
II has been the Rockefellers, Nor
cans the Harrimans, the Tricks and
that type of masters of finance who
have seen values tumble and millions
of profits swept from them.
The most substantial of railroad
stocks and the best of industrials
have melted in market price to an
extent never before equaled.
One illustration may be found in
Chicago and Northwestern railroad
stock, as security always recognized
as one of superior investment value
and generally owned by wealthy men
andf wealthy estates. The market
price of the capital stock, comparing
the high and the low of this year.
shows a shrinkage of 81 IL points
Or a loss in the market value Of the
stock of s67,23O,OOO.
That is a so-called Vanderbilt stock
though It has never been known as a
speculative one. Distribute the loss
over the relatively limited number OF
shareholders and it becomes appar
ent that a great many rich men have
reason to feel poor" Even the pre-
ferred stock has shrunk "a points, OF
over 100000.
But in the groups of railroad is
sues the Hill shares take the lead III
market value losses.
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and the ore certificates of the Grea'
Northern show a total shrinkage
high and low prices compared, o.
$229;171. 900.
Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
St Louis furnish rich men with heavy
losses in these Hill stocks. A few

losers, and among others the former

Therefore there was IClch buying o

A shrinkage of $229,000,OOO in mar

the wisdom of buying those Hill sc
Curities.

No HALT IN
THE CAMPA|C
Prohibition in Alabama is
Growing Stronger With
Passing Time.

The Montgomery Advertiser, calm
and usually accurate, says that flushed
with victory the prohibition people
are moving on the legislature for still
more results. 1t can be authoritative
ly stated, however, that no attempt
will be made to have a general pro-
hibitiOn law enacted at the present
term.
But the prohibitionists are going
TO haTass whiskey at every turn OF
the road. The winter session of the
legislature went further towards es-
tablishing prohibition than any other
legislature OF Alabama had ever
done
In the first place they passed the
Moody dispensary bill, which had
been turned down by previous legis-
latures as being too drastic" But
this even did not go far enough for
the temperance sentiment. They
passed the Lovelady local option Bill,
the most far-reaching piece of tenn
pri ance legislation ever adopted by
an Alabama legislature. OF this bill
Senator Fl. z. Spragins of Madison
county said:
AS local option bill it is a sham.
It comes here, masquerading as a
local option bill when in fact it is
a prohibition bill"
The legislature, however, was sat
isfied with it and the bill was passed.
The measure undoubtedly gave the
nrohibitionists the best of the argU-
ment wherever there was an oppor-
tunity.
The legislature now has before IL
several bills which will be vigorously
nushed DR.. R. P. Lovelady, one OF
said Yesterday that no attempt would
be made to have a general prohibition
bill passed, but that several temper
ance measures would be urged.
Il will introduce a bill to regulate
the selling of whiskey by druggists,
said DR.. Lovelady. On a recent Sun
day in Birmingham no less than fifty
prescriptions calling for whlSkey were
filled by one birmingham druggist
Twenty-seven of these prescriptions
were given by the same physician.
The bill will seek to remedy such a
condition as this.
''Then we shall endeavor to have
the Sherrod anti-shipping bill passed.
This measure has already passed the
house. 1t is now before the senate
committee on temperance under an
adverse report.
