An inquiry for New York Central sent
1t up. Ia, but the rise in this stock was
slgnalized by vigorous pressure on other
leaders and the market became weak. New
York Central ran off to below yesterdays
closing and the same thing occurred In all
the important railroads and industrials.
Covering of shorts gave an upward i'm
petus to prices afterwards with Reading
leader. and the list rose to above the
opening prices.
Pressure against Northern Pacific forced
slight reaction in the general list but
prices came up again and the trading be-
came dull. The tone was strong at noon.
Bonds were steady.
Bull operators were unable to maintain
prices at the higher level, the attractive
profits shown in some of the leaders en-
couraging the room traders to sell out.
This selling drove prices down to near the
lowest and wiped out the advance in the
Hartman Pacifics. Ontario and Western
gained 1 and Wisconsin Central preferred
IA.
An outbreak of liquidation in the Harri-
man and Hill stocks caused a violent drop
in prices in the middle of the afternoon.

cases and declines from the highest Of

FREE PULP RUNIOUS.
Paper Maker Says 1t Would Force
Him to Close His Mills.

Appleton, Wis. Sept. 1".-"Be-
cause raw material is m-1cn cheaper
in Canada and labor is considerably
cheaper. we would have to go out of
business and would go out of business
if the tariff on wood pulp were to be
cut off, unless we could obtain higher
prices for our suIphite than we are
receiving at the present time" said
Congressman Jones, of Bangor. Ne,
manager of the Katahdin Pulp and
Paper company at Lincoln, Me, be-
fore the congressional Investigating
committee. Chairman Mann of the
investigating committee asked Mr..
Jones if in his opinion the pulp wood
supply is ample in this country for an
almost indefinite period. Mr.. Jones
replied by saying that in Maine the
supply is perhaps practically in
exhaustible. but in the middle west.
especially in Wisconsin. Michigan and
Minnesota where most of the paper
mills are located. the manufacturers
will soon be obliged to procure their
pulp wood from Canada.
1.-The only thing 1 see to do" said
Mr.. Jones, sis to make a treaty with
Canada. Not as a tariff, not as a
Republican party today and a Demo-
crat party tomorrow but a treaty
where by the tariff on wood pulp
would be cut off. If our mills were
Canada at the same figure that
Canadian mills do 1 would increase
the duty on European pulp 100 per
cent. Europe is our greatest COM
petitor. not Canada. The markets of
the United States and Canada are
large enough to use all the wood pulp
sulphite and paper manufactured in
this country and Canada if a treaty
were made and the duty on European
goods increased

No Cause for Alarm.

What is there in the Democratic
platform that can be construed as a
threat to any legitimate business? Will
it produce a panic to put on the free
list articles that come in competition
with articles controlled by the trusts?
Democratic success will not bring
panic to any except those who have
their hands in other peoples pockets
and these ought to be frightened.
"Will II disturb business to mater
tally reduce the tariff on the necessi-
ties of life. especially on those articles
that are sold abroad cheaper than at
home? If we can compete in foreign
markets, do we need a high tariff to
ket?
"Since Mr.. Taft has gone into the
business of predicting panics if he was
not elected, il is only fair to ask what
guaranty he can give, If he is elected
No one can doubt that he honestly be-
lieves that the country will go to ruin
if he is defeated and that il Will pros

anty have we that his opinion is we'll

Suppose he is elected and financial
distress follows. it will be small relief
to the people to know that he really
thought he could make times good. We
had a panic last fall when Mr. Roose-
welt was president. although the peo-
pie were promised immunity from pan
les in case of Republican success. What
reason has Mr.. Taft to believe that his
anti-panic specific will be more of a
success than the present president.

HAVE SURRENDERED THEIR
PERMITS.

AS a result of the efforts Of the
North Dakota Enforcement league, It
is announced that all the drug stores
at Washburn, Wilton and Underwood
have surrendered their permits. The
work of investigation in these cases is
said to have been done by Rev. Mr..
Ogden, the pastor of the M. e. church
at Wheatland. Mr.. Ogden's methods
are not like spotter He sends the
druggists word in advance that he is
coming to Investigate and on arrival
introduces himself and proceeds to
examine the returns to the county
court. IL there is found to be weak

Made the Judge Perspire.

Sir John Charles Day, the English
Judge who earned the title of the
"hooligan's terror" died at the age OF
eighty-two. In the nineteen years Sir
John was a judge of the high court
from 1882 to 1901-he was noted for
his gift of solemn humor and for his
drastic fogging sentences. In fourteen
years he sentenced 1877 criminals tc
3,766 strokes Of the cat. Once he said
to gang of Liverpool ruffians: II am
not going to give you men long terms
Of imprisonment, but when you 60 In
you get twenty lashes of the cat; when
you have been in nine months you get
twenty lashes Of the cat; before you
come out you get twenty lashes Of the
cat And then you can show what you
have got to your friends" He was per
haps the only English judge who eve,
did "hard labor" While on visit to 6
prison he tried the treadmill, but wher
he asked to be set free the guard pre-
tended not to hear his request. The
judge was perspiring freely by the
time he was permitted to abandon hi
experiment. ....
