There Is no halt on the progress of
prosperity. The business interests of
the country are going ahead by leaps
and bounds unprecedented in the his
tory of even our marvellous develop
ment. 1t is interesting to note that
with statement of the case confirmed
by those in possession of the facts
that there is word of caution going
out from business centers to the effect
that conservatism is needed now
more than ever in dealing with busi-
ness interests. 1t would be well 1t is
argued that some thing occurred to
give matters in certain lines sober

the greater the momentum the greater
the crash. But stocks are firm and
the markets are all active. The man
ufacturers are months behind in their
orders and the demands never so
great.

NEW YORK.

Unreasonable, cold or wet weather, wi,h
frosts throughout the northern half of
the country, has again been a barrier to
retail trade. except in a few sections,
and the coolest May in twenty-five years
closes with large stocks OF goods undis-
posed of by retailers. The shoe and
leather markets are quiet as a whole, as
is natural in a between-seasons market.
Shoe manufacturers are receiving more
orders, but are reported not satisfied
Pig iron markets are quiet, but very
strong in price. Supplies for early de-
livery are very scarce, hence foreign iron
continues to be purchased in moderate
volume. Fair sales of southern iron
have been made for delivery in the first
part of 1908, the basis being S1S to
$3.50 Birmingham. Considerable new
business in steel rails has been booked,
most of which is for delivery in 1908.
May was good month for structural
steel interests, the tonnage booked being
very heavy and large orders are looked
for within the next few months.

FREAK LAWS PASSED.
KANSAS soLoNs PRODUCE PEcU-
LIAR LEGISLATION.
Dine Statute Has No Time Set to Go
Into Efect-Others as Odd-Post-
ofice Inspectors Investigate Send
Ing of Poisoned Candy.

The publication Of the laws of the re-
cent session of the Kansas Legislature
revealed some peculiar things. Lincoln's
birthday was made a legal holiday, but
no time is fixed for the law to take effect.
One new law says only lawyers may be
elected to the office of county attorney.
In the days of the old farmers alliance
farmers were considered qualified for this
Job. In Haskell county, for instance,
there is only one resident who is a law
yer, and he will have to be elected county
attorney under the new law. 1t will also
be impossible legally to hang anybody in
Kansas in the future for the law repeal
ing capital punishment was included in
the session law publication. One of the
freak laws is in relation to burglar equip
ment. 1t provides that any person found
with nitroglycerin, dynamite or any tools
or implements adapted for breaking into
safes in his possession is liable to arrest.
Under this law a man might be arrested
for having a stick of dynamite to be
used in blasting a well. or if vault
door in the State house should get out of
order and I've State should send to Chi
cago for an expert with a kit of tools to
open the safe the man could be thrown
into Jail the minute he landed in the

TELLS RAIL POLICY.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is FOR
FAIR PLAY.
Ia indianapolis Speech He Gives
warning to Persons of Wealth
and Cautions People Against DEM
asogues-Publicity as Remedy.

President Roosevelt spoke frankly.
earnestly and vigorously on the rail-
road situation at the unwilling of the
Lawton statue at Indianapolis on Me-
mortal Day. He demanded:
F'irst-Entire federal control of all
railroads, whether engaged in interstate
or in local commerce
Second-That the federal government
shall control the amount of capital in
vested in a road and the Issuance of
stocks and bonds.
Third-That railroad lawyers keep out
Of politics and that they register as lob
byists when they appear before Legisla,
lures.
Fourth-That railroads shah be pre-
vented from doing anything else than a
transportation business.
Fifth-That criminal prosecution be in.
stituted against any man who plumbers
others by issuing great masses of securi-
ties and sells them for fraudulent OF
selfish interest instead of applying the
money SO acquired to the legitimate use
of the road on whose property the securi-
ties were issued.
SiXth-That the honest railroad man
ager, whose aim is to maintain high
standard of efficiency in his road and seek
an honest and legitimate return on the
money invested. be protected.
Seventh-That railroads be allowed to
acquire connecting lines, but forbidden
to combine with parallel lines.

agreements in the interest of the people,
subject to the approval of the interstate
commerce commission.
Ninth-That there be physical valua-
ton of railroad properties, such valua-
tons not to be retroactive, and present
securities to be tested by the laws under
which they were issued.
There can be no swerving from the
course that has been mapped out in the
legislation actually enacted and in the
messages in which l have asked for
further legislation" said the President.
1--WE best serve the interests of the
honest railway men when we announce
that we will follow out precisely this
course. 1t is the course of real, of III
innate conservatism. There will be no
halt in the forward movement toward
a full development of this policy; and
those who wish us to take step back
ward or to stand STILL. if their wishes
were realized, would find that they had
invited an outbreak of the very radical
ism they fear. There must be progress
i've legislative and administrative ac-
ton for the correction of the evils
which every sincere man must admit
to have existed in railroad management
in the past"

Brain Injury and Speech.

Taking issue with the generally accept
ed theory that a definite region of the
brain presides over the function of speech
and that an injury to this part of the
brain means an interference with the
power of using language, Pierre Marie, a
French investigator, whose views are set
forth in an article translated for the Lit
erary Digest, contends that the old notion
is largely erroneous. After referring
somewhat in detail to the results of ex-
periments on persons afflicted with apha-
STA, he states that failure to stand these
tests indicates, not word deafness, but
diminution of intelligence, since the pa
tient understands the meaning of the
words separately. but is not able to make
a proper connection of ideas. He con-
cludes, therefore, that the theory OF word
deafness and it's localization in the brain
cannot be sustained. While his views
gre perhaps too radical for general accept
auce. they seem to necessitate some mod
ifcation of previously held theories on

Proclamation of general activity, ard the
remarkable aggregate of these for May
testifies to a volume of business in this
district greater than at any time hereto
fore. This reflex of expansion is made
more satisfactory in the fact that there
is also better supply of money, with
a lower discount rate.
Interest in the markets for breadStufs

prices have changed little, and the specu-
lative element is a small factor, advices

Higher temperatures brought the nee
essary stimulus to demand in distributive

sarieS made good advance. especially in
lightweight apparel. footwear and house
furnishings, while late reports show
country merchandise stocks undergoing
rapid reduction and buying throughout
the agricultural regions gaining strength.
