The bankers and business men
Of the country are doing ALL their
power to ward of Il financial panic.
The banks in st. Louis are issuing
cashiers checks in small amounts
Of from - 80 up to SO. 90, and
the business men and even the EN-.
ployes in the city are accepting
these in lieu of currency, showing
a commendable degree of conf
dence; but the government, by its
boarding policy, is encouraging
distrust among the people, exploit
ing its lack Of confidence in the
ability Of the banks to meet the
condition aud practically inviting
panic, the dire results of which
would be incalcuable. There is
about $25, 900 900 boarded in the
United States sub-treasury in st.
Louis, and the Government is in.
creasing its cash holdings through
the Internal Revenue Department
and the Post Office by requiring
money in all settlements, instead of
accepting checks as it was doing
before the present financial furry.
The result of this is tolinteusify the
situation and has the effect of Great.
ing distrust and uneasiness among
bank depositors aud all classes.
Instead of such a policy, the gov
ernment ought to aid as far as
possible in maintaining confidence.
There is every reason to believe
that our big financial institutions
are solid, the only trouble being in
getting sufficient circulating cur
rency to meet present requirements.
but the Government boarding of
its cash and keeping it out of cir
culation has bad moral effect.

AsReliabIe Remedy For Group,

With tho dry, cold weather of the
early winter months, parents of croupy
children should be on the alert for en-
iuous symptoms. There is no cause
for anxiety, however, when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is kept in the
home. II this medicine is given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse OF
even after the croupy cough has APP
peared, the attack may be warded off.
Mrs. 5. Rosnthal, of Turner, Michi-

berlain's Cough medicine for ourselves
and children for several years and like
it very much. think it is the only

If the present National Admin
istratiOn were Democratic all the
Republican papers in the country
would be bowling that it is the
prime cause of the present fnan-
cial troubles. 1t is persistent and
presumptuOuS claim Of the Repub-
ican party that it is the author Of
all prosperity aud that the Demo.
cratic party is responsible for every
calamity that overtakes the country.
But whether Mr.. ROosevelt's spec.
tacular and strenuous administra
ton is responsible for the inception
of the present financial straiu--and
there are not few in high Gnan
Ella circles who blame him for it
it is certain that the Republican
party's high tariff policy, that
taxes the people beyond endurance
aud piles up money in the treasury
that ought to remain in the pockets
of the people, is largely responsible
for the condition that makes 1
panic imminent. Aud the policy
of the Administration ut this in
opportune time, OF not only hoard.
ing millions of dollars and keeping
it out of circulation when it is sc
much needed, but requiring all
transactions with the different de-
partments of government to be
settled in cash, instead of accept.
ing checks on solvent banks as it
was doing before the furry, is in.
viting and encouraging that panic.
The Roosevelt administration is
certainly showing its iDcapacity to
grasp the situation and inspire
that confidence Of which the
country is now so much in need.

tried by a jury and upon conviction
be hanged by the neck till dead.
Thus it is seen that all these
sacred rights of property, liberty,
life ard consequent pursui: of
happiness, are secured by the
State.
The Washington government
has nothing to do with these trials,
judgments and executions. Why,
Uncle Sam couldn't have had any
hand in them. He was drowned
in the food. Laughter and APP
plause.
Missouri would go right on
with all OF her affairs just the sGme
IA free, sovereign aud independ-
ent State-the national govern
ment's powers having reverted to
her by that net of God! And there
being no Indian tribes to deal with,
and no commerce between States to
regulate, it would be only necessary
for the sovereign people of Missouri
to make new arrangements from
our State Capitol with foreign
nations.
Besides, having no gold or sill.
yer mines, we would exercise the
original, inherent sovereign power
to make paper money based on the
taxing power of the State-we' d
issue greenbacks' good for every
thing.
Thus it wonld appear to even
the wayfaring man that Missouri
is political entity, sovereign
State; that the powers of the gen
eral government were not original
but delegated by the States for
peace and harmony's sake, for in.
ternal economies and external con
yenieuces.
Now, no amendment has been
made to the Federal Constitution
authorizing the establishment of
subject colonies. land Capt.
Thurman, if he were making his
speech today, would add that no
amendment has been made to the
Federal Constitution authorizing
an estoppel of the enforcement of
State laws by Federal court injunc-
tons. Ours is system for free
citizens, not for slave subjects, at
home or abroad.
1t is easy to see in the light OF
these facts that the colonial ques-
ton, the money question, and per
consequence the tariff and trust
questions are live issues between
the two great parties; and infer
entially it will appear toSyou upon
reflection, when you may elaborate
these points in yonr own mind at
your leisure, that some subordinate
questions, such as government by
injunction. the income tax and
corporation despotism are by no
means dead"

Watching the Monster

WIATCH the monster unsipped from its
w tube and leaplng in eager parabola into
the sea. Its discharge IS recorded in a book,
where is kept the record of that particular
servant of the State. 1t has scarcely plunged
its blunt nose into the swell before it takes
life and begins to travel at thrty-five miles an
hour, diving and rising like a porpoise, and
steered with exquisite delicacy by its spinning
gyroscOpe. True, its prospective victim, an
eighteen thCusand-ton fortress of steel is
keeping keen lookout, or if it is night is
sweeping the sea with vast bars of light. More
than this, she has let down her immense crino-
line or torpedo net, intended to stay the
destructive fish ere the fatal stroke is given
against her mighty armed TANKS. Only few
years ago Rear-Admiral A. *. Wilson, of the
British navy, invented kind of scissors cut
ter, which is now attached to the torpedo's
nose, adding new terror to this dread engine
by enabling 1t to cut through the defense nets
and gain the necessary impact
Every year the torpedo becomes larger and
surer in its deadly purpose. Thus we have
to-day twelve hundred-pound monster fitted
with turbine engines actuated from an air
flask nlnety-three inches long, made to stand
pressure of twenty-five hundred and fifty
pounds to the square inch. This, the latest
and greatest dirigible torpedo, is known as the
Bllss-Leavitt, and our Government has con-
traCtcd for nearly five hundred of them. They
have already been fully tested, both with and
without the war head-whch reminds one
that frequently an old hulk is blown sky high
at cost of several thousand dollars, in order
to test the destructive force of the full charge
OF perhaps three hundred pounds of guncotton
The new torpedo can be fired from the old
Whitehead tubes; and eXqulSitely is it
constructed that its thousands of parts fit
together like the works of a watch, with
scarcely a Joint visible. The tiny shell con-
tains a turbine engine of one hundred and

Possibly the color scheme Of the
masculine individual in full dress
needs relief, but the New York tailors
who are going to have the clawham-
mer coats come in brighter hues are
on the wrong track. Just let them try
it if they want to have the near-swells
rise up and institute rebellion. Out
side of the favored few who put on
dress suits every evening, the mascu-
line man buys only one of those har-
nesses, which to him are instruments
of torture in a lifetime. About once
every four years, perhaps, he is invit-
ed to some function where the full
dress agony is called for. Then he digs
up the old dress suit, and for all he
can see he looks as well as anyone
when he wears it. He could see his fin
ish if the fashions of one season called
for a blue, those of the next for a
green and those of the next for a ma
genta coat. If he raises his voice in a
popular clamor there is enough of him
to jar the naughty swallow tail on it's
throne.

Steamship Is Fast.

The great new turbine steamer LUIS
itania crossed Sandy Hook bar at 1903
this morning. Her log gives her time
Of passage as days and "a minutes,
and her time of arrival of Sandy
Hook lightship as sos a. m. She
traversed 2,7S2 miles at an average
speed of 23.01 knots. She made 593
knots Wednesday and only 4S3 Thurs
day because of fog Arriving at sos
she failed exactly one minute to break
the German record held by the
Deutschland.
The Lusitania, however, has shat
tered the Queenstown-New York rec
ord and considering the frequent de-
lays because Of fogs will have no
trouble beating the German record on
her next trip across, providing she has
clear weather.
The Lusitania's average speed COM
pares with the Deutschland's record
speed for the Cherbourg course OF
23.15 nautical miles per hour and with
the Lucania's record of 21.81 miles
for the Queenstown course.
The Lusitania beat the record of the
Lucania over six hours, the latter's
record being 5 days, hours, %
minutes.

Fiendish Work.

Another massacre of Jews has taken
place in Kishineff Armed bands Of
hoodlums attacked the ghetto there as
they did in 1903. Eighty Jews were
killed and many were wounded.
AS usual, the authorities made no
attempt to stop the program or pro-
tect either lives or property Of Sem
ties. Shops and houses Of Jews were
looted by bloodthirsty mobs and hun
dreds were killed or wounded while
defending their homes. The outbreak
of anti-Semitism had been brewing for
several days. Aroused to fury by bigot-
ed ringleaders, rowdies gathered into
armed bands and started their attack
on the Jewish quarter.
The stores of the Jews were first pill
LACED and their owners struck down
whenever they resisted. When they
learned there would be no interior
ence by the authorities the rioters
abandoned themselves to indiscrim-
mate rapine.
The Jews barricaded themselves and
their families In their homes and
fought back the rioters as long as
they were able, but in many instances
they were overpowered and paid the
penalty for their resistance with their
lives

Sleep as Much as You Can.
MICHIGAN.

How much sleep shall | take in the
"a hours?" This can be answered un-
hesitatingly in five words, "As much
as you can" Here no competent au-
thority would question the absolute
safety of instinct as a guide. AS the
period of sleep represents the time
necessary to restore the oxygen bal
ance of the tissues, to recharge the
battery, then obviously it must last
until that process has been completed,
as attested by the familiar sense or
RESIDENCES" and refreshment. GO TO
sleep when you're tired, get up when
you wake feeling rested" contains the
philosophy of the whole problem. AS
a matter of fact, the average amount
of sleep taken by most individuals is
in the neighborhood of nine hours.
The proverbs are, as usual, at sea,
and have about the usual amount OF
influence over actual practice. Seven
hours for man, eight for a woman,
and nine for a fool" has been their
dictum for centuries, but the average
human being cheerfully plunks himself
into the fool" class, much to his bene-
fit. l believe, writes Woods Hutchin-
son in American Magazine, that the
usual eighthour average laid down in
the text books errs on the side of
brevity, and the majority of men in
active work take more than this or
else suffer for it. The average labor
ing man goes to bed at between $3.50
and $50, or if he does not, often falls
asleep in his chair about 1880 or eight
and sleeps until six. The average
business or professional man goes to
bed about ten and rises about seven,
each class getting on an average nine
and ten hours, respectively.

selected as the place Of meeting for
the next encampment. The date Will
be fixed by the national council OF ad-
ministration. In his annual address,
Commander-in-C Chief Robert b. Brown
said Of President Roosevelt:
president Roosevelt is the friend or
the veteran soldiers and sailors OF the
republic. Official acts, public declara-
tions and assurances in private confer
ences warrant the statement ttvt no
chief executive in the history Of the
nation has held or could hold in high
er regard the services of the men who
saved this union, and no president has
evinced a stronger desire to adequate
ly recognize that service and it's re-
suits than Theodore Roosevelt"

Let Up on Railroads.

A Washington dispatch says; I'M
mediately on the reassembling OF the
interstate commerce commission early
in October consideration will be given
to the order to the commission provid-
ing for an inquiry into the operations
of the railroads in the control OF
James ]. Hill. All indications point
to an abandonment of the inquiry In
the case of the Hill roads and formal
notice to that effect will probably be
given by the commission following It's
first meeting after the summer recess.
The conclusion has been reached
that no useful purpose will be accom-
plished by a general inquiry into the
methods of business Of the Hill roads
or the other big carriers Of the coun-
try.
According to officials here, Mr.. Har-
riman has corrected many OF the
abuses found in his management OF
railroad property, and other railroad
men in positions of power and respon-
sibility have done likewise.
The belief prevails that IL the COM
mission should undertake in the case
of the Hill roads an inquiry such as
was made in connection with the Har-
riman lines, great deal Of mischief
might result
The conviction has been growing in
Washington for some time that no
further action would be taken by the
federal government in the Hartman
case

Loss s1oo. ooo-Homes Burned.

A 100000 fire Wednesday morning
destroyed several of the resorts on
the north side of South Haven, includ-
ing the Avery Beach hotel, one of the
largest summer hotels along the east
shore of Lake Michigan. other places
destroyed are the Breakers, Delmar,
Shanty, Walton, Graybird and Garrett
hotels.
Many Of the places were still occu-
pied by summer guests, who were
driven from home in scant attire. Per-
sonal losses will be large. The fire
started in the Breakers from an I'M
known cause and aided by a fierce
southwest wind leveled all places
along Avery street, then jumping from
the smaller hostelries to the Avery
Beach hotel, which burned in less
than an hour
Only the hardest kind of fighting
saved the three hotels across the street
from the Avery Beach, the heat from
the burning building cracking many
of the windows in these places.
