Henri Molssan is the Frenchman who

is undoubtedly the development of the

THE NOBEL PRIZES.

For the first time since the be-
s1owal of prizes under the terms OF
Alfred Nobel's will begin, in 1901, an
award has been made to the head of a
government. 1t is scarcely less re-
markable fact that 4 great distinction
should thus be conferred for a serv-
ice to the cause of international peace
Rulers have far more frequently been
intent on conquest n forcible repris-
ais for real OR imaginary wrongs than
on averting or terminating war. Other
men who fill posts of responsibility
corresponding to that which President
Roosevelt occupies has undoubtedly
exerted their influence for the promo.
ton of universal amity, but in the
judgment of the executors of the
Nobel trust none of them have of late
years achieved results comparable
with those which followed the Ports
mouth conference. The large share
which the president OF the United
States had in restoring peace
between Russia and Japan would I'M
doubtedly have won for him the Nobel
prize a year ago We're it not that nom
nations for the honor must be made
in February.
One Of the questions which the an
nouncement Immediately suggested to
many minds related to the use to
which Mr.. Roosevelt would devote the
large sum of money soon to be put at
his disposal But before there was
time for conjecture it was officially
made known that he had determined
TO devote the $4,000 to the establish
ment of permanent commission for
the advancement of peace in industry.
The details of his plan to that end
will be awaited with deep interest by
the country, but the wisdom and gen.
crosby of his decision are obvious.
The rule prescribing that a recipient
of a Nobel prize shall visit Sweden or
Norway and deliver an address within
six months OF the notification of the
award provides that such attendance

which commands as much attention
and has as many sincere followers as
Christian Science, whether that per-

Presbyterian, Baptist or any other
denomination. The Evening Times
stands for fair play, not hypocrisy and
deceit, and because of this the demo-
cratic daily is unable to understand

viously made, ne has presented TO the
Yale Library
After graduating from Yale Hiram
Bingham studied for two years at the
University Of California, receiving the
degree of MA. in 1900. There, seven
years ago, he began TO specialize in
South American studies under Profess
sor Bernard Moses, late Philippine
Commissioner. He received the degree
of Ma. from Harvard in 1901 and the
degree of Pho. from the same uniyer-
sfty two years later. In 1908 he was
appointed curator of South American
History and Literature in the Harvard
Library, which position he still holds.
In the Fail of 1905 he went to Prince
ton as one Of the first preceptors in
history, politics and economies. He
published in the Scottish Historical
Review about two years ago a series
OF articles on the history of Scotland's
early attempts IL 'Jand d colony on
the Isthmus of Pa1 ma, and has pub
lisned a number of reviews of South
American books in the American His
torical Review. As a result of his
original research in South America he
was last year made an honorary Fell
low of the Royal Geographical Society,
and this year begins his work at Yale
as Lecturer on South American Geog-
raphy and History.

Observation-Disclosures, :
J No Cause for Alarm /


The closing of the California Safe
Deposit & Trust Company yesterday
caused a general feeling of distrust
on the street, and many inquiries were
naturally made concerning the sta
biHty OF the banking concern.
The suspended bank was not mem
Der of the Clearing House, and could
not therefore except through it's clear
! ing bank secure the certificates now
/ issued by that institution as a substi-
| tute for coin.
! It is regrettable that a bank should
have to adopt such a course, for it
shows that the financial stringency is
more marked than was supposed to be
the case.
\ 1t is also distinctly to be regretted
because it is the first showing of weak
ness that has been made by a financial
concern in recent years.
The banks all passed with great
credit through the strenuous times fol-
lowing the April disaster, when cour-
age, resourcefulness and clearheaded-
ness were required in a very unusual
degree.
In fact it. has been the just pride
of this city that its financial affairs
have been so administered as to reflect
great credit upon those who had them
in keeping.
Therefore the California Safe De-
post incident, marking the first re-
cent break in the financial ranks, must
at time like this intensity the con-
servatism that has already been in
augurated as the policy of the banks.
There is a good deal of complaint
on that score, but it is not we'll con-
sidered.
1t is not the well ordered business
man with large interests at stake who
knowingly causes or participates in
financial unrest or disorder.
1t is the weakened fellow, who,i
hearing a rumor, repeats it as a fact,
and then acts upon the urging of his
own fears, who does the deviltry.
He is the man against whose PERM
cious activity the present policy of
conservatism is directed.
He it is who starts runs on banks,
and he it is who suffers along with
those he frightens.
The present condition is bad, of
course, and undesirable. but the re-
strictions which have wisely been plac-
ed on the withdrawal of funds in
quantity will be removed whenever it
is possible to do so with safety and
with due regard for the rights of all
The condition in New York is very
much improved, and there is a de-
cidedly better feeling regarding the
future.
The water has been pressed out, and
securities are now on a basis approx
mating actual value. In fact it is the
general feeling that the good bonds,
of which there are numbers, are now
on a basis that should tempt the con-
sentative investor.
Everything points to an early clear
ing of the financial sky, so there is no
cause for further alarm.
In fact it is not only the part of wis |
dom for people to keep clear heads
and to face the passing crisis with |
and patience, but it is their !
impera tive duty to do so.-San Fran |

POsToFFIcE AT ELDRED
WILL BE DISCONTINUED

The posta; authorities at Wash
ington have given notice that the
postoffice at Eldred in this county
will be discontinued after December
18th and that the Star route from
Canon City through Garden Park to
that point will be abolished as no
longer necessary.
Jonn Freek, for many years past
postmaster at Eldred. resigned sew
erai months ago, but only recently
did the department act upon it. for
sucl things move very slowly with
the officials at the national capitol.
When Mr.. Freek's resign alton be-
came known the patrons Of the Eldred
postoffice held meeting and en-
deavored to find somebody who was
willing to become his successor, but
to no purpose, as none of them were
disposed to take the office as it is
something Of a burden without any
thing like adequate compensation.
The sala ries attached to such post
offices as the one at Eldred are de-
termined by the number of their
stamp cancellations. and are conse
quently, very meagre ones. The
office at Eldred has been conducted
Mr. Freek for long time past
more as an accommodation to his
neighbors than any thing else par
ticularly since the postoffice depart
ment has required the mail carrier to
gather up letters at the various ranch
houses and take them to Canon City,
where their stamps are cancelled. I.

COMING OUR WAY.

Those who have watched the move
ments Of the finanoiers behind the
United States Reduction and Refining
company for the last few months, can
not but notice how heavily they are
becoming interested in the Arkansas
valley aud especially In this section
of it. For many years they confined
their operations and investments to
Colorado Springs and the Cripple
Greek district and 1t was not until
lately that they began investing
heavily In Florence and other parts
of Fremont county.
Within the last few months they
have arranged to spend several mil
lion Of dollars in reclaiming land
that is now 80 barren that native
grass has q struggle to exist. They
have again reopened the Union mill
and made it modern in every respect.
They own the First National bank of
Canon City and are the controlling
factors in the Florence and Cripple
Greek railroad. Until few months
ago their Investments in Fremont
were entirely confined to the Union
mill.
The fact that their attention is be-
ing directed to the development of
the Arkansas valley means much
more than outward ap pearances sug.
gest, but what their plans are further
than what has been mentioned, Is not
known. But it Is safe to say they
will continue investing in Fremont
county opportunities. These art
men who have made an unqualified
success with everything they have un
dertaken and all of them are million
aires today.

money here and upbuild the commu
