How LOVeZamd WIZ
Pursue the Octopus

TENHE Call welcomes the disposition of
Railroad Commissioner Loveland, as
Il described by himself, to pursue the
octopus in a gentlemanly and forbearing
manner. Mr.. Loveland's plan of cam
paign recalls Gen. o. o. Howard's fam
Gus order to Col Miles in the Nez
Perces war, to pursue Chief Joseph and
"hold his rear" Commissioner Loveland
will hold the octopus by the rear with a
bulldog grip. He is himself no mean
colonel.
1t might seem that Col. Loveland makes
an unnecessary and quite superfluous de-
fense of Judson Brusie, the Invaluable
secretary of the commission. Mr.. Brusie

CAUSES OF PANIC

HHE late financial panic came II
| unannounced amidst what was
- generally thought to be indica.
tions of highest prosperity. The causes
underlying it are not altogether new
to the financial history of this nation
but they were new to many Of our
business men and financiers, for a new
generation is now in charge of our
commercial affairs.
An important factor among these
causes was the abuse of credit money
There are several forms of credit
money, though strictly speaking none
Of It is money at all save national bank
notes and other forms OF redeemable
money. AS it is used here it is in
tended to refer only to checks, drafts,
ETC., payable on demand, and the other
and larger class consisting of accounts
notes and obligations payable at GER
tain time in the future.
When country has been exceedingly
prosperous these two classes of credit
money increase in volume in danger
GUS ratio to the actual money in circu-
lation. A man who owns $1,000 worth
of property finds he can carry an in
debtedness of $4,000. Many people build
dation is their faith in unfaltering
prosperity. A tide OF uncertainty sets
in, banks refuse to honor paper of other
banks. The depositor boards his money
for lack of confidence in the bank and
the bank in turn, in fear of a "run,"
boards it's money and refuses to make
further loans. At such a time the
failure of a concern on Wall street is
like dropping match in can of
gasoline.
This Credit money forms very
large and important part Of our circu-
lating medium. 1t rests Of course upon
the volume of primary money and upon
confidence" When you disturb any
of these you affect the others, and
when credit is expanded beyond rea-
sonable and safe point it becomes tenn
porarily unbalanced, and the results are
very disastrous indeed.
Such panics are usually the result of
an era of reckless business, engendered
by a season of unprecedented prosper
ity. They have occurred quite spas
medically in this country, but are
usually of short duration. Panics far
reaching in their effects and of long
duration have behind them some graver
cause, such as failure of crops, loss
of commerce or invasion by an enemy.
There are a number of evils which
have had more or less effect upon the
present financial conditions. among
them the watering of stock, dishonest
dlrectorates, wholesale robberies legiti-
matized under high finance" and gov
ernment frauds, each of which is sub
ject of itself. They have all, however,
tended to undermine confidence and
credit.
| Some of these conditions may in a
measure be remedied by legislation, and
perhaps even to greater degree by
the honest and impartial enforcement
of the laws we already have; still other
of these evils can only be eradicated by
the exercise Of care and caution in in
curing Indebtedness and making in
vestments. In any event it will be a
long time before such conditions can be
remedied by law. Methods of business
must be changed, and sound judgment
must prevail over "frenzied finance"

OFF TO SCHOOL

And why the worlds gone wrong.
And why today the mocking bird
Don't lilt SO glad song?
She said good by. and tripped away \
Gladly with sweet Marie,
Her playmate from across the way;
But first she came to me
And put her wee arms around my neck,
In just the same sweet way
She's always done; 1 wonder why

Why mothers feel SO bad

So brimming full of new ideas
OF work and books and play,
That her old dad who loves her SO,

She may come in and snuggle down
At night against my breast,
And hold her lips up for the kiss
That's hers, and go to rest
With all her yellow curls outspread
The way she's wont to do
OF course she will! She's just the same!
I wonder why I'm blue?
Heigh-hol my girls are growing upi

Just when I shall need 1t the most
oh, pshaw! a mans fool
To worry so because his girls
Grown big enough to go to SCHOOL,
I know I'm wrong-all wrong--aIl wrong

Near by to look love into mine,
And make me just as glad;
