NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
stuyyesant Fish Sees an Impending
Industrial Crisis.

new York, Jan. 2.-Stuyvesant Fish
IN statement written for the Journa
or Commerce declares a great industrial
Crisis is due and there are many indi-
| cations of its being imminent.
| Despite the unprecedented output OF
| gold," Mr.. Fish writes, money is dear
| the world over and dear because OF
| nigh prices and activity in trade"
other causes for dear money are
found in the fact that Great Britain
has not fully made up its losses in the
| Boer war; that Japan and Russia, par
ticularly the latter, have scarcely be-
gun to recover from the effects of their
war and that within the past year there
have been tremendous losses Of cap
ital due to the calamities in San Fran
cisco and Valparaiso.
Turning to our own country Mr.. Fish
writes that New York, especially that
part of it known as wall street" has
absorbed and is absorbing more than
its share of the loanable fund.
Of the stock exchange, Mr.. Fish
says: The New York stock exchange
has ceased to be free market where
buyers and sellers fix prices through
the ebb and flow Of demand and sup
ply, and has become the plaything of a
few. managers of scliques and pools to
such an extent that for months past
every announcement of increased divl-
dendS of stock distributions and of
rights has been met by fall in prices.

out, of the market not because of ven
lures in industrials, in electric railways
or in suburban real estate-the specu-
lation in each of which was checked
months ago-nor yet because OF the
more recently pricked bubble in mining
shares, but simply because of the dis
trust which seYen those possessed of
ample means have of the methods or
corporate finance, now in vogue in New
York That Europe shares this distrust
of those methods in shown by its out
cry against the9 misuse of American
finance bills."-FEs rs q
Writing of the political possibilities
l1r. Fish says that so far as the politi-
cal parties are concerned no crisis can
arise before the presidential contest of
1908. He says further:
Il take 1t, however, that your inquiry
as to a political crisis relates to other
matters and in that sense a political
crisis is due and 1 think coming on.
Indeed 1t seems to me that we al
ready are embarking on long needed
moral financial reformation which, like
the religious reformation of the middle
ages, will through much cruelty work
out good in the end. To the need Of
such reformation the public are fully
awake"
The election of Mr.. Hughes. Mr. Fish
saws. shows the temper of the people
in this state,and he declares 1t is vast
ly stronger elsewhere. 7l7t
The selection by Mr.. Hughes of Mr..
Keep as superintendent of banks,
proves, according to Mr.. Fish, that the
governor recognizes the public demand
for moral financial reforms. President
Roosevelt and his cabinet, he says, are
like minded in this respect. I'VE as yet
see but the beginning. Time will work
out the end" writes Mr. Fish in con-
clusion.

PLENTY OF EQUIPMENT

The report of the Kansas state
board of railroad commissioners to the
interstate commerce commission on
the Kansas car shortage was made
public today.
! The Kansas board received reports
from the leading railroads of Kansas,
and from these reports draws the con-
clusion that the Kansas roads have
plenty of equipment, but that the car
shortage is due to a failure of the
lines outside the state to return cars
promptly. and to a shortage in ter
minal facilities.
The report is as follows:
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington, D. c.:
Gentlemen-In further answer to
your communication of the 18th ult.
requesting that this board furnish you
with all possible information in re-
gard to equipment in operation and
service afforded by the common car
riers doing business in the state of
Kansas, the board is pleased to for
ward you herewith a report of its in
veSt1gation of transportation condi-
lions obtaining in Kansas, which sub
ject the board then had under consid-
Grafton based upon complaint of Hon.
Carr w Taylor, its attorney.
That there is a great shortage of
public service on the part of the COM
mon carriers, whether caused by a
lack of proper appreciation of the
duties owing by these public service
corporations to their patrons, or by an
unprecedented era of commercial
prosperity and activity that could not
have reasonably been anticipated, is a
fact so patent and self evident as to
need no comment
The board finds that the Kansas
companies have expended large
amounts of money in recent years for
additional equipment, both in cars and
locomotives, in an effort to keep
with commercial conditions:
that for the years 1902 to 1906 in
elusive the following conditions in this
regard obtained on the six large rail-
road systems doing business in this
state:

objection to this revolutionary. not to

stance that it is a brazen unequivo.

LOOKS LIKE STOCKTON.

Under the above caption The Tampa
Tribune of last Sunday says editorial
ly:
HE has friends without number in
the State of Florida, has j. y. {,
Stockton, and each and every one OF
them is enthusiastic in the wish that
he enter the race for Governor in
next years primary election. And 1t
certainly looks as though he would
yield to the urgent appeals reaching
him from every direction and an
nounce himself ready to satisfy so uni
versal a desire.
1T is perfectly safe to predict that
should he run he would completely
outstrip every other candidate who
has so far declared himself. Mr.,
Stockton is Justly regarded as one OF
the brainiest, most honest and most
capable men in Florida. This Is the
opinion not OF his intimate friends
only. II is the general belief through
out the State. His popularity Is not
based on any peculiar animal magne'
tism. on any Of the superficial charms
of personality that often win admirers,
on rare powers Of social entertain
ment or gracious bonhommie. but is
the result Of an understanding by the
people OF the true worth Of the man
and his great fitness to fill the exc
cutive chair
The Tribune Is free to confess that
il has a great admiration for the
subject Of our remarks and iully
realizes with the multitude that II

Governor who would give impartial
