BANKERS ENGAGE
IN war talk.
Want to Depress
Japanese Bonds


WASHINGTON, D. c.. July "a
man who helped negotiate $4,000
900 railroad loan made In Europe few
months ago last night asserted that n
syndicate Of international bankers in
New York is promoting the talk Of
war between Japan and the United
States. Its purpose is to depress Jap.
anese bonds to the point at which the
members of the syndicate will con.
slider them good buy.
7 A bureau for the manufacture of
warlIke news, It is asserted, is being
maintained in London. A member Of
the syndicate, not banker, looks to
the gaining of publicity in this coun.
try through a big newspaper, which
has been advocating the sending OF
the battleshlp fleet to the Pacific be,
fore it was admitted that the Presi-
dent had approved such cruise.
Would Be Chorus of DentaIs.
The man making the assertion said
that it would be Just as easy to print
list of the members of the bond de.
pressing syndicate as 1T is to make
the declaration that that is the pur
pose, but he cannot see why 1t should
be done because each banking house
would specifically and categoFtcally
deny the allegation.
There is no fmputation that the
members Of the general board of the
navy or any member of the admins,
tratlon is a party to the scheme. The
bankers simply took advantage of a
situation and are using 1t for their
own good. They do not know whether
there is any war feeling in Japan and
do, not care. Their concern is only
to take advantage Of the talk proceed.
ing from the school question in San
Francisco. The recommendation Of
the general board came as stroke of
fortune to the syndicate.
Why Board Recommended Cruise.
The general board Of the navy, with.
out doubt, recommended the cruise
simply as a matter Of precaution and
notice to Congress that it had better
do something to strengthen the navy
In the Pacific by giving It bases from
which to operate and to increase the
number of battleships SO as to have
enough for both the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
President Roosevelt acQuiesced, be.
ing in full sympathy with the large
navy idea, and possibly having in
mind the necessity for getting Great
Britain to make a declaration to Japan
that she cannot back her up in any
trouble with the United States, and
possible to give bond brokers an op'
portunity to notify Japan that they
will not take any bond issues for a
war with the United States.
Admiral Brownson, Chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Navigation of the Navy De.
partment, said to-day he was salts.
fed that the Japanese Admiral, saka.
moto, who Is reported in the Hochi,

have questioned the patriotism of

ity of the American naval officer, has

"Whlle spurred on by spirit nj
unrest or homesickuess sailors have
sometimes left the American navy,
they have always done so in time of
peace. There is no record Of blue

Tho Widows loa.

A case was recently tried in a JUS
tice's court in which common old
fashioned hound was the subject Of
contention. This hound was alleged
to be the best dog after coons in the
neighborhood. Two men claimed
the dog, and each employed an at
torney to assist in the case. At the
trial it developed that the dog BE-
longed to a widow residing in the
neighborhood, and the justice gave
the custody Of the dog to the widow
and assessed q fine against each Of
the itigants in the sum Of 80.
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either Of the itigants could
use the dog when he wished, pro-
vided that neither Of them psid his
lawyer. 1t is reported that the atr
torneys are still looking for their
fee.-Columbus Dispsech.

Obituary.

Georgeanah e Canty was
born April 1, 1854, and on the
afternoon of September IA, 1907,
the angel of light took her to
rest with the bright angels
above. Georgeanah was a low.
ing wife and devoted mother.
She was loved by all that knew
her. She leaves a husband and
five children and a host of rela.
tives to mourn her loss.
Georgeanah is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever mger,
Round the grave where she is laid
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But the Saviour loved her more;
Sc the angels sweetly called her
To that bright and happy shore.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said, Come
And with farewell unspoken,
She calmly entered home. .
It was hard to part with Georgeanah,
Oh, so sad to see her die;
But then we will try to meet her
Some sweet day, bye and bye.

Art Of Rspartss.
Senator Ingalls, was always quick
in retort, although he was himself
a subject of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked by Senator Eli

smallest state in the Union. He
disposed of the whole matter by say
ing, 81 thank the senator from that

John Randolph Of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls of congress, unless d.
vid A. De Almond of Missouri be an
exception. Both Randolph's and
De Almonds speeches drip yitriol,
but thcy are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
aturished in the early days of the
republic, when things we're all un-
settled, was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been a blacksmith. Randolph
was descendant of Pocahontas and
of the best blood Of aristocratic Vir-
ginia. He replied to the presump-
tuous blacksmith: "What creden-
tials does the gentleman bring?
From whence Goes he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind?" The reply was Kissed
back, 81 sent it to Pocahontas to
make moccasins for his grandchil
dren."
An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit of Alexander H. Ste
2hens of Georgia in senatorial de-
bate occurred on the senate floor
during a heated argument with Rob
ert Toombs, also Of Georgia. Ste
phens, although possessed Of one Of
the most powerful brains Of his
time, was lame and had wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
Of a clustering, sputtering type. He
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became 50 exasper-
ated that he threatened to fight.
However, consideration of the size
Of his opponent deferred him, and,

i Stephens quickly retorted, "lf you
did you would have more brains in
your stomach than you ever had in

Punishment.

At one time in a certain peniten-

moral discipline Of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One Of the prisoners
came to the warden one day and
begged to be allowed to remain
away from the chapel exercises, a.
he wanted Sundays to write letters
to bis friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amaze
ment. "What," he exclaimed, "al-
low you to stay away from religious
exercises all the time! No, sir.
Why, man, don't you know that's
part Of the penalty~ And the con-
vict continued to worship regularly,

"Antagonism,, to RAILROADS.


President Finley, OF the Southern Rail-
road, delivered a strong. sensible, and
timely address at Memphis. Tenn. a few
evenings ago. The keynote of his speech
was contained in these inquiries: rs an
tagonism so railways to be carried TO the
point that will destroy the properties. or
only 20 the point that will cripple them?
What will be the inevitable effect on the
general prosperity of the country of
either of these degrees Of destruction?"
Mr.. FinIey's record shows him 70 be a
level-headed man and a skilled trans
portation manager. He is now admins
tering one of the greatest railroad prop
critics in the world. The Southern trav-
erses the most promising field of devel-
opment in the country. 1t ramifes every
portion of the South, and Is one of the
potent factors in that regions rapid and
substantial growth. For so practical and
far-seeing man of affairs, Mr.. Finley
has employed infeIieitous phrase to ex-
press his thought upon a subject of vast
concern to every interest in the United
States. In the sense in which he has used
the term. there is no 'antagonism' to
the railroads among the thinking and in
fiuential people of this country. All thar
IS demanded is that the transportation
agencies adapt themselves 10 the condi-
tons of the times. In the midst of our
great prosperity. evil-disposed persons
have taken advantage of the opportunity
