BLIND FORAKER

TORAKER, still fascinated by the
X glimmer of a receding ignis ia
n tuus and prompted to speak by a
wish that is father to the thought, pro-
claims that Tom Johnson's victory in
Cleveland is a body blow to the aspira-
tions of Secretary Taft. Drowning men
grasp at straws now as during the
Noahan epidemic of waters. The fact
that Foraker cannot discern the diff
ference between purely local fight. in
which the victorious element simply
emphasized the distinguished considera-
ton in which they held man who had
made good,' incidentally sending q
message to Washington that it would
not tolerate federal interference in local
affairs, and a contest over national
issues completes the chain of evidence
that goes to prove him to be man OF
too narrow caliber to be considered
seriously as presidential timber. But
nobody but Foraker and Foraker's sub
sidized papers are regarding him as
anything more than contingency too
remote for serious thought. The re-
dictionary will stand even less chance
in the Republican national convention
of 1908 than he did in 1904.

WESTON

TT was nearly forty years ago that
weston, the pedestrian, then in his
\ thirtieth year. was the cynosure of
thousands of eyes as he tramped his
thousand miles or thereabouts. Now,
in his SEVENTEEN year, he is we'll along
in his second amble, this time from
Portland, Me-, to Chicago, which he
expects to make in twenty-six days.
Weston hopes to prove by this walk
that a mans powers OF physical en-
durance at 70 are practically as great
as when he was but 30. provided that
during the interim he had led correct
life. II he succeed in his venture it will
be because he has been able to main
tain a ifty-mile-per-day clip for the
twenty-six days. There are few men
who could cover fifty miles per day for
two or three days, let alone nearly four
weeks of it. including the most active
men in the country When Weston has
finished his stunt we may reasonably
expect to hear that he is being deluged
with inquiries as to the source Of his
perennial youth. 1t is a safe wager
that he doesn't smoke seven cigars per
day, take his toddy regularly or worry
about the price OF securities.

PROVES SOUNDNESS
OF COUNTRY BANKS

of being in a sense the mainstays of pros
perity at this time There was never sc
much money in the rural banks, and con-
ditions which caused former panics ars
now lacking for this very reason. Th'a
is well expressed by President James Il
Forgan of the First National bank OF
Chicago. who pays the country banks this
compliment:
"Our present situation has no parallel
in the annals of business conditions in
the United States In the panic of 1908
then so many banks throughout the
country were forced to the wall, it was
because the rural banks were short oil
funds, poverty stricken, so to speak, fot
the need of real money. They were
obliged to seek relief from their reserve
agents at money oenters, and where they
could not obtain assistance to keep UP
their legal reserves they failed To-day
the condition is completely reversed. The
country banks have huge surpluses Of
available cash in excess of the 10 per
cent reserve they are compelled to carry
against deposit liabilities Instead of be-
ing borrowers they are now lenders"

legitimate business along right

legitimate business along right
lines as it has never known be-
fore.
AS factors in making up this esti-
mate for the future we consider other
conditions existing at the present time,
in the history of business in this coun-
try when the general business was bet
ter than it has been this year. During
the first half of the year railroad earn
ings reached their high water mark In
the history Of the country. The iron
and steel trade, while showing some
falling off in certain directions, shows
an increase in other lines, and with the
orders on which its various branches
are now engaged there can be no seri-
GUS reduction in it for many months to
come.
The cotton crop of the south is esti-
mated at somewhat larger than the
last crop, and the prices promise to oe
materially higher. The corn and wheat
crops of the middle west and west,
while not bumper crops, will be among
the greatest crops ever produced, and
the prices ruling for these crops are
higher than they were last year.
The unusually fine pasturage crops
which the agricultural department at
Washington has reported as being the
best in the history Of the country
promise a great supply of meats Tor
domestic consumption and export, ana
the prices likely to be realized upon
exnortations are certainly not apt to be
lower than in the past.
The orange crop of Southern Califor-
mia is estimated as larger than 1t was
last year by some 5000 carloads, and the
prices ruling for that fruit are hlgher
with a fair promise of continuing SO.
The nut crop is being marketed at
prices higher than ever obtained before
for it. The petroleum output of Call
fornia for the year will show increased
volume and largely increased prices.
With all these factors, which
will be fully realized and availed
of by the business community
within the next six months. and
adding to them the almost certain
congressional legislation regu-
lating speculation and establish
ing financial system which will
appeal to the confidence of the
business elements of the country,
The Herald can see no reason
why it's prediction should not be
realized, and every reason why
it should.

CLAIMS WITNESSES
SUPPRESSED FACTS
ALLEGED SWiNDLING CASE is
THROWN FROM COURT
Attorney North Makes Charges
Against Parties Concerned and
Requests Judge Summerfield
to Dismiss Action

After three days sensational examina-
ton of witnesses in the case of Mrs.
Flora Lafferty and Rufus Clemer against
Mr.. and Mrs. John Tway for an alleged
swindle in a land deal, the action was
brought to an end by Deputy District
Attorney John North, who moved to have
the case dismissed.
Bitter was the grilling of the four par
ties to the suit by Attorney North when
he came to his closing argument, and his
remarks regarding the practice of certain
real estate firms in deceiving customers
were caustic in the extreme.
The complaining witnesses allege in
their third amended complaint that they
traded their dye works at 1919 Central
avenue to the Tways for 240 acres of
land in Oregon upon the representation
that the land was partly under cultiva-
ton. had timber to the value of $1,000 on
IT, and a house on it. They claim the de-
PENDANTS represented the place as being
worth S470O. Upon investigation after the
purchase they claim they found the land
was covered with rocks and was worth
less for agricultural purposes
Early yesterday morning Attorney
North began to look with suspicion upon
testimony which had been given and
Clemer was called to the stand a second
previous testimony. His statements varied
materially on several points from the
testimony given on the previous exam
nation. Under the fierce fire of cross
examination by Attorney North Clemer
admitted he had contradicted his former
testimony but excused himself by saying:
'T have never been on the witness stand
before and that man over there point-
ing to the attorney for the defense) tried
l. til lsNt
In his first testimony Mr.. Clemer stated
he saw the names of two Ellenbergs, wit
nesses in the case, on the register of the
hotel Elden. The second time he said
that he had seen only one of the names
on the register. The hearing was post
poned while the hotel register was
brought and examined before the court.
None of the witnesses was satisfactory
and both sides seemed to be trying to
hold back information which the prose-
cutting attorneys were trying to verify
Attorney North said when he summed up
the case:
IA monumental lie has been told in this
court room by one side or the other, and
I don't know which is the guilty party
"It appears to me that both parties
thought they were swindling the other
and have now become dissatisfied with
their deals.
las a servant OF the people ol Cdilor-
mia want to say what is in my mind
regarding practices of this kind
-'I hesitate to take this case to the
superior court with the witnesses such
as they are and with both sides trying
to suppress facts.
After three days OF prolonged exam
ination of the witnesses it is my opinion
we could never make successful prose-
cution of the case in the superior court,
and ask that it be dismissed"
Justice Summerfield ordered the de-
PENDANTS be dismissed and their bail re-
turned.

TIP TO THE WISE

TINTED STATES CONSUL VOLL-
MER at Tsingtau, China, says
~ that it would be hard to find an
American export which has a better
chance of developing large sales in
China than American fruit. Last year,
he writes to this government, "an
American cargo of lumber came to
Tsingtau from some Pacific coast port
Some of the officers brought along a lot
of California navel oranges, which were
sold out quickly and which met with
such favor that the ship was overrun
with people trying to buy more after
the empire lot had been sold. Since then
I understand no American oranges
have been on the local market. Lemons
sell here for cents gold each, which
would seem to be a high enough price
when compared with Pacific coast
values to warrant an investigation as
to the possibilities of supplying the
Chinese market The American oranges
are far superior to the small, seedy,
tight-skinned Asiatic ones, and would
surely be received with favor. If 1t
were possible for large quantities of
this fruit to be shipped to Australia
when the line from San Francisco was
running there seems to be no obstacle
to prevent their shipment to China"
The consul expresses the opinion that
aside from oranges, lemons and apples
it is hardly probable that any other
fruit could be sent across the Pacific
and find a ready market, but if ex-
porters would make connections with
Shanghai jobbers or commission men it
is absolutely certain that large and
growing trade could be worked up.
The fame of the succulent California
navel orange has spread to the further
most bounds of civilization. SO great
has its popularity become in China that
some of the largest hotels each have a
course of California fruit every noon
and evening, and this is said to be the
most popular course in the menus
Dried California fruits are becoming
equally popular with the fresh fruits
Dried prunes, apricots, peaches and
other orchard fruits are found on the
Chinese markets, but the demand fol-
them is not so great as LOT tHe llesA
fruit. California dried figs, unfor-
tunately for the Chinese, are seldom
found in their markets.
ut must be remembered" our consul
reminds us, 'that people out here spend
their money readily for all such deli
cacies. as they have little else to spend
it on. There are no fine restaurants
where they can go for change, SC
that if they get to liking anything they
will buy it to a greater extent thaa
they would if living in any other coun-
try. If our packers will make a study
of conditions in China and put up the
articles mentioned so that they will
keep in this climate they can be almost
absolutely certain of good business. -

HyHERE is no more gratifying feature
of the recent financial trouble than
a the demonstrated soundness of the
rural Institutions, the country banks
which hold the savings of the farme.s
and of the residents of the country towns,
says the Kansas City Journal. Having
so much at stake and being so far re-
moved from the centers of detailed infor-
nation as to actual conditions, the pa
irons of these institutions might have
been expected to manifest more concern
than the people of the big cities, and the
rural banks themselves deprived of the
cooperative measures which the city
banks employ to their mutual advantage,
might reasonably have shared this anxiety
But the effects of the lack of confidence
were felt least of all in the rural dis
tricts.
The test to which the country banks
were subjected was relatively more severe
than that of the banks in the big cities,
and that they stood it with such success
is a strong testimonial to their solidity.

s.
A breed must combine in the highest
degree some useful purpose with fancy
points that can be reproduced. 1t is here
that the Barred Rock has maintained its
position against all newcomers because il
meets the ordinary demand in useful quail
tiles, and under any conditions repro
duces Its color in some measure. The
fancier, therefore. has a ready sale to
the general public for his birds and eggs
and without these sales the fancy busi-
ness would be very small affair indeed

eighths water the balance being pure al
bumen. The yolk is slightly less than one
half water. These figures apply approx
imately to the eggs of turkeys. hens,
geese, ducks and guinea fowls
To show how nearly alike the eggs OF
various domestic fowls are in respect to
composition the following figures are
given by the department of agriculture:
Hens egg-5O per cent water, 16 per
cent protein, 80 per cent fat. M
Ducks egg-46 per cent water, II per

Turkey egg-48 per cent water, Is per

1t should be explained that protein
is the stuff that goes to make muscle and
blood. Fat, of course, is fuel for running
the body machine. Thus is will be seen
that eggs, though half, or nearly half,

ing all the elements required for the
building and support of the human body.
