THE TRACTION SITUATION.

The restraining order under which
the interurbans from tho east are still
allowed to enter Richmond, is a good
thing for Richmond according to the

urban service and Richmond business
men, therefore. will not feel the effect
OF cutting off interurban communica-
ton with the east. At the same time
the order states that a hearing of the
case will be heard in the federal court
on October z. thus giving the city an
opportunity to present it's case which,
IL favorably acted upon, means victory
for us. The traction company will
seek to present its case so that the
federal Judge will grant an injunction
prohibiting the city from ever enforc-
ing the recently passed ordinance
against the Dayton and Western, and
has already started little game to
strengthen its case. The Richmond
Street and Interurban company has
leased its lines east of Eighth street
to the eastern corporation line to the
Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern
traction company and the T. III. |. e
E. has extended its operation of cars
to that point. beginning Friday all
Dayton and Western cars were run to
the corporation line by Dayton and
Western crews and at that point they
were met and manned into Richmond
by T. II. I. G E. crews.
The reason for this is absurdly
plain. The city ordinance recently
passed prohibits Dayton and Western
cars from entering Richmond until
new franchise has been asked for and
received. BY running the Dayton and
western cars to and from the city
nnder T. II. !. & E. crews, the cars
are supposed to be part of the r. II. I.

Japan Desires Universal Peace.

There are many reasons why there
should be peace between the United
States and Japan. My country shares
with her sister nations in the desire
for universal peace. l have made the
statement before, and l repeat it here
with even more emphasis, The glory
of a successful war is brilliant, but the
glory of peace is greater. At the re-
ception given to General Baron kurokf
in New York City, l was very much
pleased with the cordial welcome given
to the sons of Japan by the citizens of
that great metropolis. | felt, however,
still greater satisfaction when |
stopped to think that the respondent
martial uniforms of the two countries
were intermingling with each other in
a mission of peace without any thought
of war, and that the brave men who
have been so honored at home and re-
spected abroad were singing in one
chorus the glory of peace. The same
thoughts came over me when | attend

reception rendered by the same great
CITY to Admiral Yamamoto. / am also
pleased that society-the Japanese
Society of New York-has been formed
to promote and increase friendly rela-
lions existing between my country and

People," by viscount S. Aoki, in the

Editor Charles w. Stivers. one of the
veteran newspaper men of Indiana, has
come out strongly and frankly for con-
gress from the Sixth district. 1t is
a real pleasure to find some one willing
to take that office if he can get it, and
especially so, in view of the way Mr..
Watson is flirting with both the gov
ernorship and the representativeship.

IOPEN CANNING SEASON.
Cambridge Factories Will Soon be
Running Full Force.

Cambridge City, Ind, Sept. T.
The two canning factories of this
place have opened the tomato canning
season and will be running full force
in few days. Each of these institu-
tons has hundreds of acres of toma-
toes under cultivation and at present
the outlook is very favorable for an
overwhelming crop. Tomato raisers
say that the season has been a favor
able one and that the fruit will be
larger in size than of recent years.

California and Newfoundland.

Golfers for September calls atten-
ton to the future trouble the United
States is laying up for herself in con-
nection with her Japanese situation by
enforcing her fishing treaty with Eng
land. 1t says:
The perversity of the Gloucester fish
ermen has led to consequences that
may prove serious to the United States.
As they refused to permit a friendly ar
rangement that would have allowed
them all the privileges they wanted n
Newfoundland waters in exchange for
the free admission of Newfoundland
fish to the American market, the rela-
lions of the two countries have come
down to a question of legal rights. 1t
is provided by treaty that American
fisherman may do certain things. They
assert that these rights are infringed
Newfoundland The Government of the
United States, taking up their case, has
called upon the British government to
make good its treaty obligations re-
CARELESS of local laws. 1t is now an
nounced that an agreement has been
reached TO submit the questions in dis
pute to the Hague Tribunal. Pending
q decision the fisheries are to be con-
Quoted under last years modus vivendi.
This is a case in which victory is as
much to be dreaded by the United
States as defeat-perhaps more so. We
are asking body of foreign jurists to
override local government in the in
depreciation of treaty. Very likely
they will do so. They would have
natural tendency that way. But
when at our request they have laid
down the lines on which the British
Government must execute a treaty
over the head of the self-governing col
ony of Newfoundland it will be hard
to see just what answer we can make
to Japan when she asks us TO invite the
same jurists to prescribe the manner
in which we shall execute our treaty
with her over the head of the self-gov-
erning state of California. England's
embarrassment will be no less if her
ally asks her to submit to the Hague
Tribunal the conduct of Australia and
the Transvaal toward Japanese immi-
grafton. The United States and Great
Britain are in the same boat in the
matter of their relations with their
states and self governing colonies on
the one hand and with foreign nations
on the other. Their pQ6ition is ex-
tremely delicate Logicallv it is SIM

Increased Demand for Capital.

The fall in prices is due, primarily
| to the absorption of capital the world
| over If it were local to the United
States, as some Of the critics of the
Administration would have us believe
it might be attributed to local causes
In fact, however, it affects Great Brit
ain, where the price of consols has
fallen as low as sou, or lower than at
any time since 1913; it affects Berlin,
where serious banking troubles have
been feared; and even affects Paris,
where the Bank of France carries a
stock of gold which makes the Paris
market almost impregnable.
There is simple philosophy to the
monetary situation in these great mar
kets. 1t is a philosophy which is SIM
pie, at least to the student of political
economy, but unfortunately not all our
statesmen nor even all our financial
writer's are trained economists. The
explanation of high rates for money all
over the world is that the capital
sought for the creation of new enter
prises, like railway extensions, new
rolling mills, new buildings, and the
opening up of new countries, does not
equal CQo DEMAND IOT 1t. Every ClNl-
lized community today produces an
nually not only all that is needed for
it's immediate consumptive wants, but
a surplus over for making additions to
the existing equipment of production.
1t is not money which is lacking, in
the sense of gold coin and notes. 1t is
sufficient supply Of raw material, Ia
Dor, and machinery to create all these
new works Men who wish to enter
upon such creations seek to borrow the
capital of others through the form of
banking credits. They find that those
credits are exhausted or reduced.
They then offer higher bid for sur
plus capital by offering new securities
cheap. In order to buy these new Sc
curities, holders Of old securities are
willing to sacrifice them in some cases
at reduced prices in order to take the
new. In other words the mass of Sc
curities, both old and new, competing
for a market is in excess of the COM
bined demand for securities at former
prices Hence the fall in their cur
rent uuotations.-From THE Progress
of the World in the American Review
