chas. G. Dawes Visits Wall Street and
Promises Republican Party Will
Be Good.
Under New York date line of Sept.
10 the daily papers of the country
publish dispatch from which the fol-
lowing is taken.
THE visit Of Charles G. Dawes. Of
Chicago formerly Comptroller of the
Currency, had more influence than
anything else in arousing Wall street
uneasiness. Mr. Dawes came to New
York primarily to raise money for the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. and he gave the people he
called upon very clearly to under
stand that the Republican majority In
the house is in danger
wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities Of political
canvassers for funds. but Mr. Dawes
visit was unquestionably impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken to arrest the
current and change the situation the
Democrats would swing into control
Of the popular branch of congress and
probably elect a president. Mr.. Dawes
did not confne his visit alone to
bankers and fnanciers. He devoted a
good share Of his attention to leading
representatives of the manufacturing
money, but not nearly as much as he
had hoped for"

REPUBLICANS INCENsED
Longworth's Speech at Rock leland,
ILL.,, Arouses Wrath.

No utterance Of the campaign has
attracted more attention than the pre-
diction of Congressman Nicholas
Longworth the presidents son-in-law,
who, in speech at Rock Island H.,
declared that after eight years of Taft,
1t would be Roosevelt in the White
House again. This utterance has caused
Republican campaign managers no lit
tie annoyance. The Republican view
of the incident is well set forth by the
Chicago Inter Ocean, one of the lead
ing Republican papers in the entire
west. The Inter Ocean said:
The Hon. Nicholas Longworth pro.
posed to 10000 American citizens in
Rock Island on Friday that MIR. Tat
should be made president of The
United States for the next eight years
and Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years
following Mr.. Taft's second term.
AS Mr.. Longworth is President
Rooseyelt's son-in-law, his words are
accepted usually as semi-officIal for
the White House. This is the unfortu-
nate feature of his utterance In the
present instance.
The American people are not look
ing for lord protector. Even the
most ardent admirers of Mr. Roosevelt
would not care to make him another
Diaz.
with some eight years Of the presi-
dency behind him next March and
with eight years Of Mr.. Taft before
him, Mr.. Roosevelt, according to his
son-in-law's ideas, would be able to
celebrate on March 4, 1925. nearly a
n ri nf <Sft
over this republic.
Such program is not one to be
announced just now, incredible and
impossible as it seems. Especially it
is OF one to be announced from the
bosom of Mr.. Roosevelt's family.
Good politics and good taste are both
against such utterances.
aside from Mr.. Longworth's plain
assumption that Mr.. Taft's two terms
would not constitute even a substan-
tial interregnum-with which no real
friend of Mr.. Taft can agree-such re-
marks regarding the institution OF a
Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock
ng but absolutely damaging to the
Republican candidate and the Repub-
lican party"
Speaking Of the Longworth incident,
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
publicity bureau at Democratic head
quarters, said:
THE people may take it in their
heads in November to knock Mr.. Long
worth's nice family arrangement in
the head by going outside the close
corporation AMI family monopoly Of
the presidency. That would be sad
for the son-in-law, but good for the
country. The remark Of Mr.. Long
worth shows that long tenures in office
for one party makes those in power
thank they own the government If
for no other reason than to teach the
son-in-law and others near the throne
that this Is republic. the vS.ers will
decide upon change in Member"

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
But Business in Other Lines Has Been
Seriously Affected by the Panic
That Still Hurts.

MIR. Taft says that the panic Is about
over aud that conditions have about
reached normal. That does not CORE
sp0nd with the view Of the Chicago
board Of education that 1900 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get employment
and because OF the increase III tie
cost of living.
The Saturday Evening Post Of re-

showing that, according to the reports
OF the New York savings banks, the

have been one Of exceeding cost and

When Aliens Die In Egypt.

Under the laws of the country all

after death. In the case OF foreigners,
II relatives desire to remove the body.
1t must be embalmed or first buried
for year. The process Of embalming
in modern Egypt is not only very ex-
pensive, amounting often t. $1,000,
but 1t is undesirable. Neither is it
convenient often to bury the dead for
year preparatory to removal What.
ever objections therefore may exist
elsewhere to the burning of the dead
so that their ashes may be transported
to their own country. they are. without
much force in Egypt. Recently a law
has been passed allowing this dispo-
sition OF the dead, but as 1t Is against
the religion of the Mohammedans, the
government does not see its way to
providing for the burning.

JUST MERE PIECE OF STRING.

Writing from Japan, an American

read about them gives you only a poor
idea. For instance, did you ever know
what an important thing piece of
string is here? The children, workmen
idlors. servants, all carry pieces of
string for use in case of emergency.
With us the emergency would arise
only when parcel had to be done up,
but the Jap uses his piece of string as
a first aid to the injured. to repair a
rent In his clothing, to fix broken.
down jinrikisha, to mend tools. to take
measurements and, in fact, the string
Is his universal tool chest.
The queerest use to which It is put,
according to my way of thinking. is
when police officer arrests man.
ties a bit of string about the arrested
mans wrist and then leads him by the
loose end of the thin hempen fetter to
the lookup. You ask Why doesn't
the Jap crook break the string and
find a gateway? He could. but he
would not That's where his respect
for the law comes in, and the bit of
string holds the man as securely as
though he were manacled by our own

FINGERS OF VARIOUS VALUES,
Thumb 10 Easily the Most important
Of the Oigits.

You have only to grasp pen or a
tool Of some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value with reference to their
usefulness in performing work. Much
the most important is the thumb, for
without 1t prehension would be very
imperfect. The hand Is no longer pin.
GERS. but merely a claw, when deprived
of the thumb. 1t may be estimated
that the thumb represents fully a
third of the total value of the hand.
The total loss of the thumb is esti.
mated by competent authorities as Is
to 35 per cent for the right and 10 to
Is per cent. for the left hand, except
for workers in art, when 40 to so for
the right and 25 to 40 per cent. for the
left hand comes nearer the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at
from 10 to 25 per cent for the right
hand AMI 10 to Is per cent. for the
left. The middle finger is less impor.
tant than the index. The ring finger
is least important, and the little finger
may be compared to its neighbof. ex-
cept in the professions in which II
serves as point of support for the
hand.
