Blamed for Success OF
Business Sharp

fhe board Of trade is misnamed. In
stead of being an organization to pro-
mote Legitimate busin- SIS it IS nothing
but a gigantic collection agency" sal /
Otto irving Wise, an attorney repre-
senting some CT the creditors OF Ga
briel Hines yesterday. The remark was
reiteration of one made by him In a
speech at the banquet of the Credit
mems association Saturday, and grew
out of the sale of the stock Of Kragen's
store for s160000.
Behind the sale is mystery and the
mystery is popularity supposed to be
none other than Gabriel Hines. After
having advertised for 10 days the credi-
tors COMMITTEES disposed of Kragen's
store for 100000 last Saturday, the
purchaser being an unknown. The
members of the committee admitted
yesterday that they knew nothing OF
him. No one knew; but no sooner had
the sale been made public than rumor
circulated that Hines had bought back
his store through a third party.
AS he had failed for 100000 such a
transaction would have netted him
$4,000, and would leave him at the
same old stand and ready to practice
sle same old tricks.
The rumor was strengthened by
statements made by Hines a few days
before He openly declared that the
him the last bid and also that. having
10 year lease on the building,
he would evict any other purchaser.
General Indignation met the announce
ment of the sale. The honest busi-
nessmen had hoped that they had Sc n
the last of "Hinezied finance" and pro-
tests were numerous

TRADE BOARD AIDS DISHONEST

At the banquet of the Creditmen's
association the sale was one of the
main topics of discussion. Attorney
Wise openly denounced the system en-
ployed by the board of trade, calling
that organization a gigantic collection
agency.
Il have nothing but the highest re-
gard for those at the head of the or
ganization." said he, but the system
which calls for a settlement in every
instance is deplorab1e. When man
lies to creditman about his financial
affairs and obtains credit on those lies
he comes under the pale of the law. and
can be prosecuted for obtaining money
by false pretenses. Now, II the
board of trade would prosecute one or
two of these fellows. instead of set
Ting with them at 20 or 25 cents on
the dollar it would aid legitimate busi-
ness. BY compromising and settlement
it aids dishonest persons, and accord
ingly greatly harms the maS attempt
ing to conduct his business on princi-
pies of honesty and righteousness"
we heard the rumor that Hines was
buying back his store" said ]. Nj. Allen,
one of the members OF the creditors
committee, but there is no evidence to
prove it. The committee could do moth
ing else but sell to the highest bidder.
We know nothing of the man who mada
the purchase. If we had any evidenco
TO show that he was acting for Hines
we would naturally get after Hines
and make him pay up, but we canno.
prove that he has any money and can
do nothing
Joseph Kirk. attorney for the board
of trade, was emphatic in pointing out
that no settlement had been made.
The sale of the store for $160,000
does. not absolve Hines from the re-
mainder of the debt said he THE
committee took what IT could get. If
we learn that Hines is in business for
himself again any creditor will have
the liberty to sue him. What arrange
ments this purchaser and Hines have
arrived at is immaterial and something
which we cannot prevent. 1t would be
well to remember that the committee
which made the sale was composed of
creditors and they acted for their own
good in whatever they did. If the COM
mittee had any knowledge of Hines
possessing any more money or that he
was behind the sale it would naturally
force him to pay his debts.

When youcome to think of how
much it costs to live in these pip
ing times of tariff protected trusts,
there should be no wonder at the
apathy in the ranks of the g. o. p.
and that ordinary Republicans"
who are not favored pap-sucking
government officials, should be
"rather slow" at contributing to
the campaign fund that is to be
used to elect another "standpat"
Congress. However, the protect
ed interests can be relied upon to
supply the "sinews of war" for
this work.

BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENT.

We have bought the entire in
terests of G. N. Travis in the plant
of The CAMDEN CHRONICLE. 1t is
generally known here that c.. n.
Travis has had no connection with
the paper, except to own an inter
est in the plant, since 1898, when
he was appointed to position in
the government service at Wash
ington, ID. c., where he is still
employed.
AS heretofore, all obligations of
Travis Bros. are assumed by us,
and all bills and accounts due the
old firm are to be paid to us.
In giving the public notice of
our assuming entire ownership of
The CHRONICLE, we take occasion
to thank the people of Camden and
Benton County for their support
and patronage, and we trust the
same pleasant relationship estab-
lished will continue in the future
as it has in the past.
Very truly,
J. V. TRAVIS.

cts this the way to the poor
house?' asked one man of another
as he pointed in a certain direction.
."No, but this Isl answered the
other as he pointed to a whisky
flask sticking out of the inquirers
pocket. The answer was surely
correct. The whisky bottle is
what drives many people to the
poorhouse. It makes them neg
lect their business; it steals their
earnings; itgives them bad habits;
it clothes them and their children
in rags and robs them of their daily
bread. Yea, and at last it robs
them Of their very souls!

The proposed plan to construct
a walkway around the court yard
would not be Objectionable if the
city treasury held more fundstha
was needed for building walkways
where they are needed, repairing
the old ones and making other alb
solutely necessary repairs and lm-
provements. But with practi-
cally empty treasury, necessary
walkways needing repairs and the
streets of the new part of town
needing grading and gravel, it
seems like folly to expend the
public funds for a purpose that is
not needed. . OF all improvements
proposed, the repair and building
Of necessary waIkways and gravel
ing the streets is of more vital i'm
portance right ut this time.

We all have our personal and
political grievances. There is not
a leading Democrat that has not
at some time been denied a favor
by his party. There are numbers
of others that never did receive a
personal favor from their party.
But is it wisdom to exhibit our
private sores to the public gaze?
The Democratic party is too big,
and has too many grave public
matters to look after, to be con-
cerned about the disappointment
of any one individual.

full of enthusiasm. The way the
