FORAKER vs..
TAFT IN OHIO
FORAKER ENDORSED BY CLUB
Taf's Boom for the Presidency
Go Like Gilroy's Kite.

Badly Jared as it was by the de
feat of Burton in the Cleveland
mayoralty, the Taft boom in Ohio
got another jolt by the pledge of
the Ohio League Of Republican
clubs to back Senator Joseph Ben
son Foraker as the fay orite son of
the Presidency.
The end of this propaganda will
be that neither Taft nor Foraker
will go into the Republican nation
al convention with any chance of
winning unless one or the other
of them withdraws before dele
gates to the convention are chosen.
A candidate will not be chosen from
State in which the party is torn
by bitter factional feude.
The cause of Taft looks desperate
from more than this one viewpoint.
If he has not been used as a cat s
paw by the President and then
thrown aside there is much to be
explained in recent events.
If Taft s political fortunes in Ohio
were not taken upon the desperate
chance of Burton winning IN
Cleveland for the purpose OF giving
him a backset, the move was ldl-
otto and President Roosevelt IS not
generally sized up as man lacking
in the sagacity of practical politics
In Mr.. Talt 5 insistence upon
continuing his trip around the
world against the President $ wish
that he should return to the | rlted

SHORT HISTORY
PANIC MONEY
CLEARING HOUSE CREDITS
Action Of Banks in Former
Panics Of Our Day

The Bankers Magazine for the
month Of November contains many
interesting facts growing out Of
great panics, and, of course, con-
tains much that relates to the late
furry in New York City. We
note some of the interest points:
After describing the causes which
ledimmediately up to the panic the
magazine declares that it reached
its climax on the 10Th day of Oct
ober-t hirty-four days ago-and
that the shaking up" as a whole
won't be soon forgotten by those
who participated in it.
The magazine states for more
than decade the country has been
most prosperous, developing an
enormous magnitude of wealth,
unparalleled in history-that with
proserity came extravaganza, reck-
lessness and generalization.
Indeed, it. claims that the pros
penty Of the last few years had
become debauch, and the time
was bound to come when a Condi-
ton Of sobriety would be necessary
70 straighten out financial affairs.
The issue of clearing house GER
thcates on this occasion recalls the
TACT that only four times in the
history of our Nation has such a
condition prevailed before.
The magazine claims that in the
panlcs Of 1873-1S84-1S90 and
1923 certificates were resorted to in
several of the large Eastern cities,
and in some instances to a very
large amount.
In 1873 New York City issued
certificates to the amonnt of S27,
Wo,O0O, in 1894 to the amount Of
$4,000, 900, in 1890 to the amount
100000, and in 1898 to the
amount ofS3S, 2SO, 600.
ln 1873 Philadelphia issued ST.,

"'oOO,O00, and in 1898 81, 900,
900.
IN 1890 Boston issued IS, 900, OO(
but in 1898 S11, AS, 900.
Inc magazine calls attention tc
ne tact that the panic of 1884 was
'arted by the failure of Grant ant
"ard, and then the famous Gen
afal was ruined financially.
