The Shoe Situation.

Footwear factories are curtailng pr0duc-
ton and shipments from Boston continue
light. All markets are quiet, but there is
fair demand for summer specialties, notably
tan calf shoes. These contracts are placed
for immediate delivery, but there is little in
quiry for staple lines, and the high priced
black goods are exceptionally dull. Prices
are weak, and further concessions could be
secured on large orders. Trade at the West
has also fallen off, but is still relatively bet
ter than in New England.-Dun's Review

SELF-MADE POWERS IN THE
BUSINESS WORLD.

Thomas F. Ryan, whose virtual re
tirement to private life removes from
the financial world one of its most
powerful figures, was clerk i'm a Bal
timore dry goods store forty years ago.
In recent years he has been one OF the
eountry's most conspicuous self-made
men. The lesson of his great wealth
and influence is the old one of oppor-
tunities met a little more than half
way. That lesson holds as good today
ss 1t did fifty years ago.
Consider the case of the man who
this week handed in his resignation as
president of the New York Central
lines. Mr. Newman started in as a
station agent down in Texas, and in all
probability he never even dreamed at
that time of finding himself one day IN
the metropolis occupying one of the
most powerful and lucrative positions
in the industrial world. The first vice
president of the New York Central, w.
@. Brown, the man most likely TO sue
ceed Mr.. Newman as president, entered
railroad life as train dispatcher and
has slowly but surely worked his way
up.
1t would be a simple matter to go
on enumerating similar instances of
great power rising from modest begin
nings. But the eases referred to hap
pen TO be concerned with the news of
the day. They are timely illustrations
of the fact that self-made captains of
industry are as common today as they
ever we're.

PRINCE CONCEALED
BY PRIESTLY ROBES

There arrived I'm England this week .
Catholic priest under whose name
Father Raymund, is concealed a great
German title. says a London cable to
the Chicago Tribune a little over a
year or two ago Prince Lowenstein-
Wertheim Of Roscnburg, or Rockfort
who was one Of the founders and lead
erS of the Catholic Center party in the
rpichStag renOUuccd his estates, posi-
ton. and diEnities. and. at the age Of
spyeUty-tHrec became a novice in the
Dominican order. Last week he was
ordained a urieSt by Cardinal Fischer
archbishop OF Cologne. Now he is at
the Dominican pTiOry at HaVerstOck
Hll. London. on his way TO the Isle OF
Wight, to visit his sister and daughter,
both Of whom are nuns in the Bene-
dictinc convent at Ryde.
This daughter is one of three who
have all entered the religious order, and
his sister is the widow Of Dom Miguel.
King Of Portugal.
timately bound up for half a century
with the struggle for the rights Of the
Roman catholic church in Germany, IS
now known merely as Father Raymund.
The ceremony Of his reception into the
Dominican order in the abbey church
i'm VeuIo, was a striking spectacle.
Amid the crowd, which included many
Of his distinguished relations, present 20
assist at the pontihcal high mass, the
prince was supported by his eldest son.
The former Lore his robes of state
with the collar of the Golden Fleece, the
grand cross Cf .he Order Of Malta, and
that of the order of Christ. These gilt
tering badges of lnighthood and world
" rank were laid upon the altar, and he
received IN exchange the white tunic
and black mantle OF the Dominican.
Tho event created considerable of a
sensation in Germany at the time, and
the career Of the venerable prince priest
is still watched with sympathetic in

THE SHADY HISTORY OF THE
NIGHT RIDERS.

Another startling example Of the
danger of invoking the power of the
unwritten law is to be found in the
history of the Night Riders. The
origin of the Night Riders has nothing
TO do with the case now on trial at
Union City. Tenn. The Night Riders
at first were tobacco growers banded
together to fight the Tobacco trust.
Their manner of fighting was to in
flict corporal punishment as well as
property losses upon the farmers daring
To do business with the trust
In the end, as was announced only p
few days ago, this violent method of
settling a commercial dispute succeed
ed; the Night Riders won. But mean
time their reign of terror had i'm
pressed itself more or less favorablv
upon the "vigilantes" in other parts OF
the South, and out of this increasing
popularity OF the new style Of mob

FLUIDITY OF THE WORLDS
LABOR SUPPLY.

During the year ended October
724,Il2 aliens came to this country, and
7I7,SI4 left these shores; that Is, less
than 1000 net gain was added TO popu
lstion through immigration. The great
effiux of course was due TO the eXccp.
tionally depressed business conditions
OF the time.
But the fact that such a remarkable
change can be noted so suddenly in the
tide Of population has a deep underly-
ing significance. 1t shows that tho
worlds population is vastly more mo-
bile than ever before. 1t moves easily
and quickly wltre it may find the most
attractive conditions. In ancient times
and even in modern ones. movements
OF population were generally very SLOW
and when they were of considerable
proportion they represented almost
cataclysmic social changes. There j
little evidence that they represented
response to the pressure of conditions
primarily economic, though the move
ment of population into Italy during
the centuries of ROme's greatness were
in part induced by economic conditions
More than 200 years elapsed after the
discovery of America before anything
like effective settlement of Europeans
had been planted on a permanent basis
within the territory now the United
States.
But nowadays everything is NOV
able; money, commodities, people. The
worlds gold is a common heritage, do
ing work for all the nations, and natur-
ally and readily flowing from one coun-
try TO another when the balance of
supply and demand is disturbed. Com
merce is one of the greatest occupations
of the race; mere transportation is of
an Importance Undreamed of a century
ago. With all this development of re-
sponsivcncss and flUidity, there has
come an era in which population moves
easily and quickly as 1t Is affected by
economic conditions. There Is a strange
contrast between the policies of great
nations toward people and commodities
The world is an aggregation of protec-
tion communities, as to goods; each
country establishes tariffs and impostz
and regulations, TO keep out or keep in
certain products; but the labor which
produces them is free, in the main, to
90 and come as it will.

rule has sprung the sensational case un-
der consideration at Union City.
The danger is that unless quickly
and vigorously suppressed the Night
Riders viii develop into another Ku-
kluX-klan. The origin of the Ku-
hluX-klan was one of the rather pleas
ant social incidents of a town in
Tennessee in 1866, but before long the
organization became notorious; and, to
make matters worse, its dastGrdly per
formances were initiated by lawless
bands outside Tennessee.
The sternest sort of justice, was re-
quired to put an end to the KU-NuX-
ers; and it looks as if similar severity
must be employed to disbaud the Night
Riders.
