BAD FAITH.

BAD FAITH.
(Webster City Freeman Trbune.)
The Webster City Graphic Herald,
a democratic newspaper, published on
it's front page under scare head the
following statement, which is repeated
with mild Endorsement by the Webster
City Freeman Tribune.-Register and
Leader.
This has reference to the charge of
the Graphic Herald that the Register
and Leader has sold its editorial in
fluence to the Blythe crowd for the
consideration Of $4,000 or $4,000.
After quoting what the Graphic Her
aid said the Des Moines paper OBJ
serves:
1t is amazing that any newspaper IN
Iowa should be willing to open their
columns to such a charge as this,
false In detail false as whole, and
false in every implication, a peniten-
tiary offense il The Register and Lea
der chose to prosecute. The newspa-
pera of Iowa, perhaps, do not owe
much to each other. But they foul
their own nest when they maliciously
assail newspaper integrity. If the
Graphic Herald and Freeman-Tribune
could injure the Register and Leader
as much as they hope they would still
injure themselves more.
Why doesn't the Register and Leader
have the honesty and the fairness to
publish what the Freeman Tribune
said? It deliberately falsifies, we
might use a Shorter and an, uglier
word" when it says this paper gave
the charge mild Endorsement" and
1t does it for the purpose of misrepre-
senting the attitude Of the Freeman
Tribune. Did not the Freeman Trib-
une say that it gave the report Gre
dence and didn't it further say that
1t believed the Register and Leader
would be found supporting the COVER
nor before this cruel war is over 1t
also expressed the opinion that other
than financial considerations have per-
suaded it (the Register and Leader) in
it's unfair and unjust course against
the governor during the past few
weeks" How can the Register and
Leader twist these observations into
a mild Endorsement" of the charge?
We ask the Register and Leader to re-
produce, what the Freeman-Tribune
said and let it's readers judge for them
selves. But the request will probably
be ignored. Since the Register and
Leader began to take lessons in fence
balancing it is much like the rest of
it makes false statement
it proposes to stick to it.

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

Holiday business assumed normal
proportions last week, partially recov-
erfng earlier losses in comparison with
previous years, and in staple lines
there was better movement in re-
spouse to more seasonable weather.
Altho actual business did not increase
in the leading industries, there was a
more confident sentiment regarding the
future, numerous inquiries encourag-
ing manufacturers to anticipate a
steady Improvement in orders early in
1908. Meanwhile inventories are be-
ing taken and machinery thoroughly
overhauled and repaired for the first
time in many years. While several
plants resumed, others were added to
the idle list, and the net change was
small. The best news Of the week was
the official report of foreign commerce
in November that far surpassed any
previous monthly record for exports,
and supplied favorable international
trade balance of $93,655,751. This
should make it possible to retain much
of the net imports of gold that amount
ed to s62,S47,s67.
Footwear factories in New England
report a slight increase over the vol
ume of business in the two preceding
months, but trade is still far below
normal.
Sentiment is more hopeful at leading
centers of the iron and steel industry,
increased activity being generally an
ticipated after the holidays.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for December
amounted to sS,7S9,776. of which $4,-
271,2S4 were in manufacturing, $780,
O31 in trading and $1,12O,461 in other
commercial lines. Failures this week
numbered 342 in the United States
against 254 last year, and 25 in Cana
da compared with &c a year ago.
Chicago.-Weather conditions fav-
ored a heavier movement in the lead
ing retail lines, and the absorption of
necessaries and Christmas goods
steadily increased, dealings generally
indicating a more ample supply of
Wholesale lines are entering

close of the year, but there has been

a disposition to buy more freely of

food products, hardware and footwear.
collections show improve
ment at western points, but are still
below normal, and extensions are not
sought, particularly where
currency scarcity continues. Defaults
have no special Importance and the
number this month is less than year

some renewals, and the demand for
in January is in

among manufacturers and merchants. |
Cleveland.-Retail trade is fair, fav

tive demand for seasonable goods, but
the volume of holiday business is con-

for a good Christmas trade.

Promoters Are Residents of Large
Cities and Are Extensive Dealers
In Jnpan

Vice Consul General E. G. Rabbit
sends from Yokohama The following
information concerning the
insurance business in Japan:
"A scheme is on foot in Kobe to
form a marine insurance company with
a capital of $2,500,000. Among the
promoters are fifteen foreign resi-.
dents Of Kobe and Yokohama, five
Chinese. and steamship owners and
large shippers OF cargo in different
ports in Japan.
A director of Japanese life insur-
ance company. in reference to the flu
ture of that class of business in Japan,
states that there are at present in the
country about thirty life insurance
companies, including foreign compan-
les: and the persons insured number
about 500, 900. There are insured to
the amount of about $120,000,000, and
half the amount is in the hands of
three Japanese companies and the re-
naming half among the other twenty
seven or twenty-eight companies Not
a few of these hold only about 100000.
There can be no doubt that the life
insurance business steadily increases,
and IL will be a number of years be-
fore all the companies take proper
tionate shares of the new business pos
sibIe In the meantime very keen
competition will take place, and 1T will
not be an easy task for foreign insur-
ance officers to obtain good business in
the interior of Japan, concludes the
authority.

Arriues in This City to
Look After His
New Hotel

Jack O'Brien arrived in town last
night from Nevada, besieged with offers
to fight boxers of this country and
those OF foreign lands. The Quaker
City fighter is interested in a hotel
which is being erected on Fulton street
and Van Ness avenue, and he intends
to spend some time here.
O'Brien is anxious to meet Bill
Squires, the Australian heavyweight.
of whom so much has been written re-
Gently. Two clubs are seeking the
match, and according to O'Brien he is
ready to sign with the one offering the
most money. Tom McCarey of Los An
geles Is hot after this match, but he
has formidable competitors in the Ne
vadan promoters. A Reno club has
already offered $4,000 for a contest
between O'Brien and either Kaufman
or Squires.
O'Brien says he is anxious to meet
Jeffries, and to show his sincerity he
is willing that tournament should be
arranged between the best of the
heavies now fighting. the winner of it
to hook up with the champion.
Tex Richard announced that he would
give $4,000 for fight between JEFF
fries and O'Brien to take place on
Labor day. This is a liberal offer. and
If O'Brien could wade through bunch
including Squires. Burns and Kaufman
the match would attract some atten-
ton.
Harry Foley, manager of Joe Thomas,
telegraphed to Mike Riley of the Ca
sino Athletic Club of Tonopah yester-
day that he would not allow his man to
box Hugo Kelly, the Chicago middle
weight, unless a $4,000 purse were
hung up. Riley's offer of $4,000 for the
match was not alluring enough to in
duce the local boxer to particiDate in a
twenty round bout with Kelly. Riley
will have to find another match for his
proposed boxing carnival, which he in
tends to bring off in Tonopah during
March.

PORT OF SAN FRANCISCO
Eastern ConsignmeRts Take Months i'm
Delivery Via Mexico TO Lever
California

Consul @. B. McGoogan of La Paz
advises that one of the chief obstacles
to American trade in Lower California
is the long time taken in transporta-
ton, concerning which he writes:
THE average time in which goods are
received in La Paz from Chicago or
St. Louis is three months, and / am
told that an organ was six months in
transit from Boston to Culiacan, Sina-
loa, Mexico 1t generally takes one
month for goods to reach Guaymas
from Nogales. Sailing vessels make the
trip from Hamburg, Germany. to MAJ
allan or Guaymas in about five months
and deliver goods at a much cheaper
freight than can be secured from the
States.
THE claim is also made that goods
from Europe are better packed for pro-
lection of articles and economy of space,
the latter giving the dealer better
steamship freight rates.
Dealers say that on account of poor
packing and careless handling of fur
niture imported by railroad from the

Jack OBrien Suggests Tournament OF WoudBe Champions
PMadebhian Has a Scheme
to Entice )efrles Forth

by a promoter OF Manhattan, named
Torpey, to box there during June. when
the railroad is opened. A purse of
$4,000 has been offered for a match
between Joe Thomas and either Tommy
Ryan or Jack O'Brien.
Since Thomas has been unsuccessful
In finding a match here he has decided
TO leave for the East next Monday.
He is popular in Philadelphia and Bos-
ton, where he has done some good fight
ing, and he expects to do well at the
short distance game.
Britt and Coffroth are expected back
today from their vacation at Byron
Springs. According to Coffroths pres
ent intentions, he will go to Tonopah in
a few days to arrange final details con-
nected with the fight. Though the pre-
vailing opinion Is that Cans will be re-
turned a winner, the Britt sentiment
seems to be gaining. Some shrewd
judges concede Britt an excellent
chance Of winning.
The local promoters are still under
cover and 1t is not probable that there
will be anything doing in the profess
sional game this month. They are feel
ing the pulse of the Legislature, to see
what strength the proposed anti-f1ght
propaganda VIII develop. Jack O'Brien
and Joe Thomas were considered as q
card for this month by one of the pro-
moters, but this match has been aban-
doned for the present.
The Hawthorne Club has arranged its
programme for next Friday night. Six
bouts will be pulled off, and among the
contestants are some of the best boys
in the four-round game. The bout be-
tween Willie Conroy and Joe Leahy,
125-pounders, should prove a fast go,
as both are clever and willing to fight
all the time Johnny Murphy. the fight
ing Irishman, meets George Sanfanson,
a clever boxer. Murphy has developed
into one of the fastest light boys who
have been fghting at the weekly shows.
There is also a heavyweight contest
on the card. Battling Johnson, though
he has never shown himself to be much
of a fighter. supplies a fund of amuse-
ment In his efforts at the manly art.
He will meet Matt Kelly. a heavy
weight from the Hawthorne Club. The
other bouts are between Jack Evans
and Ruddy Moore, 125-pounders; Kid
Sweeney and Jack Turner, 40 pounds.
and Coal Oil Roche and AL Schrein, 1875
pounds.
