RETURNING TO THE NORMAL.

Henry Clews, the veteran New
bow chasing, takes the cheerful
view. Under date of August %, he
thus writes:
Next to good crops the most i'm
portant factor in the outlook is the
unusual ease of the money market
which crop demands are not likely
to materially interfere with. Loan
able funds are always abundant and
cheap after panic. This is because
of money released by liquidation,
and the lack of demand accompany
| ing the subsequent inertia of bust
ness. This year the excessive ease
from this source is greatly augmen
ted by the tremendous accumulation
of gold both here and abroad, and
by the inelasticity of our currency
system, which prevents proper
contraction of bank notes in times
of redundancy. Attention has already
been called in these advices to the
extraordinary expansion of over
$3.50, 100000 in our circulation
within twelve months and that
nearly 5000, 100000 of this was in
gold coin, bullion or certificates. The
Eurovean banks are also carrying a
much larger surplus than year
in fart tho whn1a world c
threatened with surfeit of the pre-
cious metal owing to the record
breaking activities of the Rond. The
effect of this upon values must of
course be powerfully stimulating,
for as we cheaper the standard of
value we inevitably raise the prices
While the law of supply and demand
is still the most potent factor in es-
tablishing values, the tremendous
additions to the gold supply of the
world during the past decade have
no doubt much to do with the pres
ent high level of prices. The present
ease of money is not only an element
of support to stocks, making many
issues look cheap and easy to carry,
but is proving very important
stimulus towards business recovery
Lenders are only too anxious to find
safe borrowers, and sound enterpris-
es which have long been pigeon-hol-
ed are now being taken up, so that
ere long the revival of enterprise in
this quarter will be seen in a better
demand for all sorts of construction
material No great recovery is in
sight, but our commercial and in
dustrial activities are certainly re-
turning to the normal with eneour-
aging promptness

GOLD PRODUCTION AND PRICES

The Manufacturers Record discus
SEES at length the effect on prices of
! the worlds enormous gold produc-
ton, saying among other things:
The production of gold goes on
with an celebrating pace. During
the first half of the nineteenth CEN
! fury the total production of gold was
S7S7, 1000, while during the sec
ond half it amounted to $4,000, 000,-
600. For the first time in the history
of the old world the production of
gold exceeded 100000 in
1896, while in 1903 the output was
about $3.50, 100000 and in 1907 it
was S412, 100000. In other words,
two years production now will
largely exceed the total production
of the first half of the nineteenth
century. The production of the II
years from 1896 to 1907, both in
elusive, was over 1890, 000, 900, or
considerably more than the total
production of the world from 1892
to 1850 The worlds production
from 1882 to 1895, little over 400
years, was SS,70Q,000 1000 In the
last ? years the world has produc-
ed AZ per cent as much gold as it
did in the preceding 403 years. Re-
viewing this situation we said on
March Z, 1907: In studying these
figures every thoughtful man must
be impressed with their significance
and with the tremendous influence
of this gold output upon the expan-
sion of the worlds trade and COM
merce, of steadily rising cost of
living which necessarily means high
wages, of a great increase in the
value of landed properties, agricul-
tural as well as coal and ore and
cement and timber, and all forms of |
property whose values, unlike those
of bonds and mortgages, are not +
limited to fixed rate of income. !

SEND IN YOUR DOLLAR.

The big corporations are not con-
tributing anything to the Bryan
campaign fund, but they are spend
ing thousands of dollars to bring
about his defeat in November. Mr..
Bryan's funds are coming from peO-
pie of small means. He will accept
large contributions from those who
are able to give, but he wants all
democrats and independent voters
to have some part in defraying the
expenses of the campaign. He has
appealed to them to make dollar
contributions. This paper has started
an honor roll for Ellis county DEM
ocrats. Every dollar sent In will be

Haskell at Guthrie, Okla. He will
also be furnished with the name of

would be SO foolish as to say that
in the readjustment of the world s
business to these conditions there
may not be some sharp reaction
Notwithstanding the temporary
reaction since last October there has
been but little hating in this up
ward movement. We have seen the
great unrest among the laboring
people, forced by increased cost of
living. We have seen the remarkable
increase in the price of agricultural
products and of farm lands and this
goes steadily on. And already there
are signs that the temporary reac-
ton which caused a decline in the
value of manufactured products is
passing away and that prices are
again beginning to rise The wise
man will recognize these conditions
and plan his business operations &C
cordingly"

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE chill.
DREN.

Some time before the conclusion
paper undertook to show the neces-
sity for fire escapes and other ar
engagements for the safety of pupils
at the high school building, taking
the position then that the structure
as arranged would, in case of fire,
prove a veritable death trap for the
hundreds of children who annually
attend that institution. Immediately
following our suggestions announce
ment was made by the school board
that the matter had already been
taken up for consideration, plans
that provided every required protec-
ton against unnecessary danger
were being investigated, and that
during the vacation season the
school building would be thoroughly
equipped for the safety of the chill
dren. Accepting this as an assurance
that the long neglected safety of the
children would be properly looked
after this paper, and the thousands
of parents represented by it, have
patiently waited for the fulfillment
of the school boards promise Re-
cent investigation has disclosed the
fact that now within a short time of
the beginning of another school term
when the usual hundreds of children
will be assembled in the high school
building, nothing has been done to
provide against the dangers that
continually threaten through fire.
Those who have inspected the build
ing declare that in case of fire, there
would be practically no escape for
many hundreds of the scholars. and
recollecting the several school holo-
causts of last year, We certainly are
not justified in continuing our hope
for the safety of the children on the
immunity of our building from the
danger of fire. 1t may cost some
money to give the necessary relief
from pending danger, but are not
the children entitled to this relief at
any cost? There is a positive need
for this work to be done, and no one
recognizes this any more than sew
eral members of the school board.
and the time 10 do it is before the
beginning of the school term.

The Deadly Finger Nail

Every time you scratch yourself you run
risk. No, don smile that superior smile
and say that you have never yet had any
trouble from it. What we say is true Ask
any physician. To scratch your scalp, a
pimple or scab is particularly dangerous
Your finger nails carry germs of Eczema,
Tetanus (Lockjaw) Erysipelas and all
manner of skin diseases. Let one little
germ get into the scratched place and trou-
bic is sure to follow. Because you have
been lucky enough to escape SO far is no
guaranty that you will be SO lucky in the
future. Don't take chances. For any Itch
ing use Littell's Liquid Sulphur, stops Itch
ing instantly, and permanently relieves all
forms of skin complaint, eczema, erysipelas,
pimples, running sores, letter, ring worm,
chaps, roughness, redness or skin blotches
Gentlemen: November, 1902, con-
tracted facial erysipelas and my physicians
prescribed ichthyol ointment and retirement
from business. After one days use of the
ointment l concluded the erysipelas was
preferable, on account of the villainous odof
and color of the ointment. Having by me
bottle of Litteil's Liquid Sulphur with
which had cured, with one application,
an aggravated case of p-ickly heat the prev
ious summer, / abandoned all other rene
dies and applied that with most satisfactory
results, as the disease was confined to its
original limits and in due time disappeared.

Mckinney furnishes an example
that might be followed here. The
county commissioners have appro-
priated the money paid for road tax
by the city of Mckinney to fund
public square. There is nothing lille
gal in such action, nor do the peo-
pie outside of the city have to con-
tribute to the expense of paving.
Paving the public square would be
protection to the county's property
as we'll as a convenience to the citi-
zens who pay the tax, and from such

BRYAN'S FIGHTING CHANCE

Referring to the statement of
Col. Henry Watterson that MIR,
Bryan has good fighting chance
now, and in my opinion it will
grow with the progress of the cam
paign," the New York Herald says:
Like a true Kentuckian, Colonel
Watterson has hit the bull's-eye.
Not only has Mr.. Bryan a good fight
ing chance now, but as the colonel
very significantly remarks, there is
every probability that the chance
will grow stronger as the campaign
develops. No one now fears
that his election would provoke an
industrial, commercial and financial
cataclysm. AS matter of fact, his
speech of acceptance has strengthen
ed rather than shaken public conf
dence. Mr.. Bryan has evidently mel
lowed in retirement. While Mr..
Roosevelt has been growing steadi-
ly more radical in his attitude to-
ward economic questions, the Ne
braskan has been steadily growing
more conservative and prudent. 1t
Is plain that he has completely re-
covered from his violent attack OF
free silverites and no longer pres
cribes state ownership of every
thing as a remedy for all economic
ailments
Moreover, he is indisputably the
idol of an imposing section of the
American electorate Even those
democrats who repudiated emphat-
ically Mr.. Bryan's most extravagant
theories have been forced to admit
that his influence with the rank and
file of the party is unrivaled and
undiminished and have recog-
nized that truth by again enrolling
for service under his banner.
THE personal fitness of Mr.. Taft
in face is very evenly balanced by
the personal magnetism of Mr. Bry-
an.
THE question who will win is
rendered still more difficult to ans
wer by the fact that there is no
paramount issue in the present
presidential campaign. If the party
platforms were to be surreptitiously
transposed nobody on either side
would ever find it out. 1t is a case of
six of one and half a dozen of the
other Mr.. Taft could stand on Mr..
Bryan's platform and Mr.. Bryan
could stand on Mr.. Taft's platform
without either one or other feeling
that he was on a strange territory.
It is for this reason that the Herald
as perfectly Independent unbiased
newspaper agrees with Colonel Wat
terson's assertion that Mr.. Bryan
has a good fighting chance. Of
course he has"

Dirt roads are an expensive lux

enough, but judging from the com
plant of the postoffice department
some of the dirt roads in Ellis coun-
ty are not at their best. In view of

citizens Of old Ellis have to contend
with dirt roads?
