There's some sense to the plan in
stituted by Mr.. Eaton, the chief of
police, requiring the patrolmen on
night duty to report to the police sta
ton by phone once each hour during
the night. 1t has been quite as hard
for the officers of the police force to
locate the policemen at night as it has
been for ordinary citizens to find
them. and everybody who has had
occasion to look for one knows just
how hard that is.

Yale.s football schedule for next fall

Yale's football schedule for next fall
shows but one game week for a
season of nine weeks. In times past
the large colleges and the small ones
too played a football schedule de-
manding two games a week. generally
on Wednesday and Saturdays. The
teams of some colleges still follow that
custom. 1t would seem that one game
a week of this strenuous sport is
enough for any team.

Other states along the same lati-
tude as Kansas suffered considerably
worse during the recent cold snap
than she did. Kentucky experienced
some heavy falls of snow in addition
to much lower temperatures than pre-
vailed in this state. So there is a
chance for US to express thanks that
the weather conditions were not worse
here. If you don't think they were
bad enough ask some who has an
orchard

When it comes to being painstaking

When it comes to being painstaking
in an endeavor to see that exact JUS
tice is done to everyone nothing on
the face of the earth can equal the
government at Washington. An Illinois
widow has received check for the
whole of seventy cents which repre-
sents the money that was due on the
pay of her husband for his services
as a soldier during the civil war.
This borders on the ridiculous.

A young New Jersey girl has sued
DR.. Dyar, one of the federal govern
ment experts on bugs, for $4,000
damages because he insists that her
book Mosquito LIFE is plagiarism.
She is Miss Evelyn Groesbeeck Mitch
ell. How appropriate, at least, is it
that a girl with such a middle name
should write a book anent mosquitoes.

Easy, indeed. is it to now under

of $12 day for room, fifty cents for

the coast have been doing likewise.

CAUSE OF EASIER TIMES.

In giving us causes for the ease now experienced in money and busi- ness matters, Henry Clews, the New York broker, says that next to good crops the most important factor in the outlook is the unusual ease of the money market. which crop demands are not likely to materially interfere with. Loanable funds are always abundant and cheap after a panic. This is because of money released by liquidation. and the lack of demand accompanying the Abseouent inertia . Of business. This year the excessive ease from this source is greatly aug mented by the tremendous accumula- tion of gold both here and abroad, and by the inelasticity of our currency system, which prevents a proper con. traction of bank notes in times of redundancy. Attention has already been called in these advices to the extraordinary expansion of over $260,- C00,000 in our circulation within 12 months and that nearly $220 DOC. .00O Of this was in gold coin, bullion or certificates. The European banks are also carrying a much larger surplus than a year ago: in fact, the whole world is threatened with a surfeit of the precious metal owing to the re- cord breaking activities of the Rand The effect of this upon values must of course be powerfully stimulating. for as we cheapen the standard Gi value We inevitably raise the prices of all commodities and securities While the law of supply and demand is still the most potent factor in es- tablishing values, the tremendous ad- ditions to the gold supply of the world during the past decade have no doub much to do with the present higl level of all prices. The present east of money is not only an element o support to stocks. making many is sues look cheap and easy to carry but is proving a very important stim nlus towards business recovery. Lend . Nrs are only too anxious to find saf Borrowers, and sound enterprise which have iong been pigeon-hole' are now being taken up so that CT 1ong the revival of enterprise in thi puarter will be seen in a better de

HOW THEY GET THE BUNS.
By EDWIN A. NY
Copyright, lJ0S. by Edwin A. N~--

Morris Brown. crippled urchin of New York city. smashed the window of a bakers shop and was arrested Morris, who is fourteen years old was sent by his mother to buy buns At the shop he met another boy wbo was on q like errand. Morris saw that the other boy got one more bun for his money. whereupon he protest ed. There was debate with the baker, and Morris was thrown out. pursued by the bakers dog. .s The smashed window was the sc- quel.
 De udder kid. he got more buns n me and got more sugar on his buns" was the plea Morris made to the judge. Which was a good plea. The newspaper account does not give the outcome of the matter. but the in- cident and the boys plea are SUE. gestive
 The boy voiced the American plea of a square deal" It is not fair that one boy or oie citizen should get more buns and more sugar on his buns thar another.
 One of the pressing problems i. the equitable distribution of wealth.
 We say the American idea is that of equal rights for all. special privileges to none,' and yet we know that cer- tain special interests have been given undue advantages. These interests lave h2d more buns and more suga- on their buns han they are entitled to.
 Therefore the righteous protests of the Morris EruwnS.
 When the little cripple's case was tailed in the police court the baker was represented by q paid attorney, but Morris had to depend on the mercy Of the court
 And here also the analogy holds.
 The special interests that secure spe- cial privileges-extra huns-are repre- Sented in the courts by high priced lawyers. The people elect young at torneys who are just beginning to prac- tice and pay them q small salary 10 prosecute tie rich criminals. Is it any wonder the latter get away with the buns?
 That is why if a man steals loaf ot bread to keep the woman he loves from starving he goes to the peniten- tiary, while the banker who steals million and robs widows and orphans gets off scot free Eminent attorneys find technicalities, and the rich man gets away with the sugar covered buns
 The case of the baker against Nor ris Brown is a typical enc If vo;. will think over the incidents and .he plea 0: the young citizen you will dis CT enc cause of the social un- rest.
 It is because of the buns.
