They Refuse to Run on Ticket
Named at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Oct. "A political
sensation more than OF local interest
was announced today that nine Of
81 candidates named yesterday at the
democratic municipal convention had
decided to refuse to accept places
given them on the ticket. the reason
given is that the methods that con-
trolled the selection of delegates to
convention were too autocratisc and
that there was too much Of the boss
rule" in convention for the officials
who two years ago were elected in a
campaign against such methods.

During the last few months guesses and
facts about the condition of money
and the money market have been getting
prominent positions on the newspapers
front page alongside the "thrillers" Of
the day, instead of the financial page,
where the condition of money market is
always told to those interested.
The moral of this Is simply that the
money market Is now In such condition
that it should be of popular interest. and
perhaps of profit. To the average citizen
money is-well, money and dollSt is a
hundred cents. To the world offinance
the meaning OF money" Is entirely diff
ferent. 1t is commodity, to be bought
and sold like wheat or potatoes-and when
transformed into the asset called credit,
one dollar may be expanded into six dol
lars.
Therefore money, like vegetables, must
have a market-and that forum is New
York. Since the Gotham banks make
fully one-fifth of the loans In the coun-
try, the prices for money that this mar
ket makes rule throughout the land. With
money the astute ones can usually make
money. Business men, cities and corpora
tions are constantly In need OF money Tor
improvements, and thus demand Tor tne
golden commodity is created. The greater
the demand and the smaller the response
to it, the higher the price paid for money.
The price is interest. When money is
plentiful, the price is cheap.
At first glance the plentttude Of money
would seem to mean prosperity; Dut Dy
a financial paradox, 1t is usually pros
perity that causes scarcity Of the where
withal. Despite political allegations, such
is the explanation of the ''tghtness' OF
the money market just now.
A period of great prosperity has pro-
duced great deal Of money, and this
money has been promptly absorbed in new
enterprises and business improvements.
This confidence in our prosperity has caused
much of the ready money to be invested
and when corporations want money they
have to pay a higher rate for 1t because
n ia scarce. ], 1t at this time the scar
city is accentuated, for in the fall mil
lions of dollars in cash must be sent to
Western banks in order to move the
crops" Thus in a couple of weeks time
there is this sudden call for money to
pay the farm hands, railroads and other
expenses connected with harvesting a bill
lion dollars worth Of crops. The treasury
usually comes to the relief by depositing
its surplus funds in these localities-as 1t
has done in the present instance.
How does this tight condition of the
money market affect ordinary small In
vestors? 1t means that they can buy
bonds and short-term notes at lower rates
than ever before.
Why? Because the banks that usually
invest in bonds find 1t now profitable to
loan out their surplus funds as cash. be-
cause money is yielding larger returns.
Naturally there is a falling Off in the de-
mand. for bonds and a consequent decline
in price.
Not only that. but the great corpora

The public taste has during the past
few wears become more educated as to
house furnishing; still to the uninitlated
there are many pitfalls In selecting fur
niture and furnishings. Never buy any
of the cheap machine carved, over deco
rated and upholstered furniture that Is
still unfortunately so much seen. The
best house furnishing and decorating
shops are often the cheapest for the
reason that the value of an article lies in
its make finish and quality of durability
and reputable firm will not carry any
of the cheaply made. badly designed fur
niture SO much seen In many of the
shops. Examine the way in which furni-
ture is put together before making a
purchase. The thing that has made mis-
sion furniture so popular is that 1t is not
glued or nailed together but Joined In
the strongest possible way, so that 1t
cannot come apart. Also examine the
springs, stufing or filing of upholstered
articles. Many Of the handsomest chairs
and divans, ct ecerera. are sold with
muslin or cotton coverings over the up
holstery, so that the buyer may select
any material or coloring desired for the
finished cover. The fashion of buying
"set" Of furniture is fortunately almost
obsolete. although hideous ''parlor sets"

For gowns not of the strictly tailored
order the thin wooden materials and the
transparent voiles. ct cetera, lead In fa-
vor, and this season some of the most at
tractive designs are especially adapted
for these light weight. soft materials. A
great many of these fabrics necessitate a
silk lining, which of course adds to the
expense of the gown. but there are also
great many very smart materials of like
character to be had, which, though light
in weight, are sufficiently close In weave
to dispense with the silk underslip. This
is true of two of the gowns shown among
the sketches. although the frock Of

lining of soft taffeta. This model was,
however, not an expensive one, although
it was extremely effective and strikingly
odd. The material used was chiffon yoile

quarter of an inch apart. The trimming
consisted entirely of buttons, nearly

In many lines OF trade, the man who
Is out of a job, however skilled and will
ing he may be. sometimes has to walk
many blocks and open many office doors
for many days before he lands another
job. Particularly Is this the case II his
job Is of the white collar" kind-for
under present conditions 1t often happc7s
that a young man in securing genteel en-
ployment, so called, has to make conces-
sions that the mechanic in overalls would
despise. s
The advertising solicitor faces no such
handicap. He is q very necessary cog in
the machinery that grinds out newspapers
and other publications and In the pub
licity that fills the stores with purchasers.
Accordingly the advertising solicitor need
never be out of job. IL
Roughly speaking, the advertising solic-
ftor is divided into three lines of en-
deavor: the newspaper, the magazine and
the advertising agency. His rewards may
run from $25 to 5000 week, according
to his ability and the class Of trade his
experience qualities him to solicit Usu-
ally he is given q commission that Is no
small item In addition to the regular sti-
pend.
The high grade solicitor must not be

ing space who takes up the work be-
cause he or she is out of a position; who
appeals without system or argument to
the merchant either as bIackmai or char
ity for ads in programs, and little sheets
of no circulation or value.
But the real "king-pins" are small in
number and greatly in demand. They are
simply crack statesmen, who instead of
learning the good qualities of certain

know the value of advertising space, have

cade," are still occasionally seen In the
cheaper department stores.
The present fashion Is to select each
article individually, although in harmony
of course with the other pieces apd
furnishings. The three pieces of living
room furniture sketched Illustrate this
idea-each piece being on the same gen
eral design and In the same wood (ma-
hogany) but each being covered with a
different material. An excellent effect is
insured by following a cerAin color
scheme, planned to suit the walls and
woodwork of the room. Shades of green,
reds and soft yellows are charming for
a living room, and great variety may be
gained by the use of different fabrics
for chair coverings and hangings, all on
these tones of color. The larger pieces
such as lounges or divans are best In

.cially recommended, Color can here be
introduced by the use of gayly covered

lines of soutache, with a similar band en-
closed In narrow bias bands Of the cloth,
at the lower part Of the skirt. The bodice
was fashioned entirely of the braid trim

as trimming, and the yoke of tucked net
