Wall Street to Blame.

a plain resume OF the cause oi
the financial troubles of some dass
ago as, made by the Saturday Even
ing Post, gives the lie TO the political
tricksters and designing Wall Street
sharks. who would like for the ma
ton TO believe that President Roose-
welt caused it, or, who at least have
attaching the blame to him, when in
fact there is absolutely not one thing
said or done by him in any way re-
sponsible for fhe money stringency.
The Post tells ne sac story ms fol-
lows:
On Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday October 81 - and 2&), call
money was readily oDtainable IN
Wall Street at rates averaging abous
three anI half per cent. The
ststemen' of the New York associat-
ed banks made favorable exhibit
to quote the Financial Chronicle.
The Treasury Department had been
steadily increasing it's deposits in
the banks. the total reaching lG4
million dollars. For more than a
week the Bank of France had been
befriending New York by refusing
to advance interest on gold in tran
sit, thus avertins exports of the
metal from this country. And Lon
don bankers, by purchasing Ameri-
can securities which they had prev
iously sold, checked an advance in
sterling exchange which threatened
to draw gold from New York to Eng
land.
Realizing the strain upon credit.
in short, the great fiscal agencies at
Washington, Paris and London were
extending their power TO prevent an
acute disturbance. Unquestionably,
they realized also that this country
itself was sound and Immensely
prosperous, bullying with marketable
products, and well in the way of the
liquidation that would relieve the
pressure on money.
Such was the story of rhe first
half of the week. But on Thurs
day the corner In United Copper col
lapsed. This corner was an opera
ton having no more refsrfon ia
trade and industry than faro game
has. A few men thought they saw
a grand opportunity to squeeze GER
tain brokers who were short. So
they made a pool of the stock and
put the price up to 60. Then. as
usual. one unloaded on the others.
United Copper dropped from go

to 10. The Stock Exchange sus-
pended one of the operators; and
New York awoke to a realization
that these maniDulators were in con-
troll of several banks. Buying the
stock Of one bank. they borrowed
money upon It with which to buy
the stock Of another, and thus came
into guardianship of millions Of de-
posts. The effect upon bank de-
positors of this realization was nat
urally alarming. A run was started
upon number of institutions with
many millions of deposits. and sew
eral soon suspended payment. Call
money rose to 1875 per cent. and was
unobtainable at that. The stock
market was in panic The reason
was that the very hearts blood Of
business in the banks
had been impaired by a realization
that certain banks were in control
OF a clique of spectators. And
yet there are men in Wall Street VINO
say, and really believe. that the
President did it.

THE FIRST SIGN
Mixture s'a'I to Relieve I.,ine lack
ana Prcrfnas kidney
Disease.

Take care of backache. great
many cases of kidney complaint are
reported about here, also bladder
trouble and rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
in the back, loins or region of the
kidneys is the danger signal nature
hangs out to notify the sufferer that
there is something wrong with the
kidneys, which should receive i'm
medlase attention. Only vegetable
treatment should be administered
and absolutely no strongly alcoholic
patent medicines. which are harm
full TO the kidneys and bladder.
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive, is
known and recognized as a sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint The
ingredients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy and
anyone can mix them: Compound
Kargon, one ounce: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle ana
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
But unless you go to the trouble
to ask the druggist for the Dande-
lion and Sarsaparilla separately, and
then buy one ounce Kargon Com
pound, in an original (unopenedl
package, plainl.- printed, Guarau-
teed No. 11S under National Drug
Law, and mix the Kargon with the
other ingredients al your home. you
had better not use this effective pre-
scription at all. 1t may be worse
than useless, perhaps even harm
less, and your moneyl~wasted. Tn
der no circumstances accept the pre-
seription all ready prepared. nor az
cept any excuse for offering it to you
that way. Purchase separately the
Kargon Compound No. 1O8 Guar
antee. as explained above, and mix
these three ingredients at home
/ yourself, or don't use at all.
This preparation is said TO restore
the natural function OF the kidneys,
so they will sift and strain the poi
sonous waste matter. uric acid, etc
from the blood, purifying it and, re-
lieving rheumatism Backache will
be relieved, the urine will be neutral-

cause of irritation. thereby overcom-
ing such symptoms as weak bladder,
painful, frequent and other urinary
difficulties.
This is worth trying and may
prove Just what many people here
need.

With its brows knit up. the Daily
OIL Review of sisterswIle, ruminate.
in perplexity on a subject that really
should not cause it to ponder ser
iously over:
Hon. Harvey w. Harmer, OF
|Clarksburg. has for some time been
varfously reported as an entry and a
non-entry in the contest for the Re
publican nomination for governor.
The report has been affirmed and de-
MED so impartially that, the Review
has become staggeringly uncertain
as to the intentions of the gentle
man from Harrison in the matter.
Late developments, however, favor
the Alternatives. !"
Right here the Telegram desires
to break in upon the train or
trains. of thought and relieve the
Daily Oil Review of its perplexity
and uncertainty. Mr.. Mariner has
not announced himself as candi-
date for the governorship to succeed
the present incumbent of that high
and responsible office, nor does he
intend to. Mr.. Harmer has assur-
red the Telegram to this effect in SO
many words. He told the Telegram
that there was no foundation in fact
for the story published in +. news
paper or so that he would announce
himself
Tly,N 1,t -, ~.

Mr. Harmer is said to have re.
considered his resolve not TO swell
the list of gubernatorial possibilities
and will yield to the solicitations oil
his friends who profess to see in him
a man who will heal the sores be.
tween the so-called regulars and in.
surgents, and all of the lesser fac
tions. This is all very good, but ii
Harmer enters the race what about
the candidacy of that deserving and
able Harrisonian, Hon. Stuart F.
Reed, whom Republicans in this sec
ton are anxious to have placed OH
the ticket for secretary of state?
If Harmer's ambition is to weaken
Reeds chances for the secretaryship,
the Review would prefer the relega-
zion of the former"
While the Daily OH Review is to
BE congratulated for the evidence
II has given in its last sentence OF
possessing some wisdom and COM
mon sense, it need not entertain any
grave fears about the candidacy of
Stuart F. Reed for the secretaryship
of state. Mr.. Reeds candidacy is
growing in dimensions and favor,
not only in this section but through
out the commonwealth; and If the
Daily OIL Review desires to follow
its preference, it should not con-
found humor and gravity in sucn
careless. manner.
