Honesty in Business.

From Fiber and Fabric.
Integrity and honesty count for as much
in trade ana industry as they do In the
administration of national affairs The
people can be fooled part Of the time, but
not all the time There comes a period
when sham, hollow pretense, false repre-
sentation, deceit, cease to avail: when he
who has adhered unwaveringly to the
principles Of truth and honesty comes into
tied by dishonesty reaps the results of
his evil doing. Truth cannot be destroyed
1t survives everything and is bound to
is false.
1t does not take Tong for an honest
clerk, an honest merchant, an honest
manufacturer to be known as such. Buy
ers of goods like to purchase where they
have confidence In the honesty of the par
ty who is selling them-where they can
rest assured that the goods are as repre-
scented. 1t is a pleasure to trade with
such persons and in the end much more
profitable. The merchant prefers to do
business with the manufacturer who will
make his goods honestly and strictly ac-
cording to specifications OR terms agreed
upon. No employer will tolerate dishon-
esty in his clerk-it would be ruinous to
business
It is nightly encouraging that in these
days of strife and strenuousness there is
an increasing recognition of the vital i'm
portance Of integrity and honesty in man
ufacture ad trade. 1t Is bound to benefit
textile manufacturing vastly and to place
the industry on a more stable basis than
1t has ever known.

GERMAN STOCK SPECULATION.
Yale Man Testifes Before Hughes
Exchange Commission.

NEW YORK, March Collaboration
regarding legislation in Germany against
speculation in stocks and commodities
was given today by Prof. Henry c..
Emery OF Yale University to the COM
mission appointed by Gov. Hughes to
investigate methods Of operation on the
New York exchanges. Prof. Emery, who
was asked to testify as an authority on
political economy, detailed to the COM
mission the effects of the German law
Of 1896 practically prohibiting short sell
ing and dealing in futures, which he said
proved SO disastrous to commercial in
terests that after investigation by a COM
mission the law was repealed, except as
to prohibition Of dealings in grain
futures.
Prof. Emery. who said he had studied
the situation in Germany thoroughly in
visits to that country, gave 1t to the COM
mission as his opinion that prohibition of
short sales and of dealings In futures
here would be extremely i'll advised.
Such sales. he declared. were necessary
under modern commercial conditions, and
the effect OF their prohibition. he be-
lieved, would be disastrous

MISSOURI RATE LEGISLATION.
Bills Presented to Meet Threatened
Move of Railways.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March co.
Bills backed by Gov. Hadley and Attor-
ney General Major and intended to meet
the threatened move of the railroads to
restore the three-cent passenger fare rate
were the most important Of a large num-
Der of measures presented to the legisla-
ture on this. the last day for the intro
duction of bills.
There were three administration rail-
road bills introduced. One gives the rail-
road commissioners of the state power to
regulate passenger rates, which power
will he extended to the public utilities
commission If such a body Is created.
Another bill seeks to prevent. railroads
from owning and operating coal mines in
competition with persons or firms not
connected with railroads, and the third
would, II passed, prevent railroads from
making discriminating rates at terminal
points in order to meet competition from
roads with shorter lines.

the contrary, the very worst phases of
the reports Of auditors and operating de-
partments are brought prominently for
ward. They are printed in such black
type that they can be easily read from
the seats OF congressman under the dome
Of the Capitol. The apparent desire is
that there shall be no misunderstanding
as to the actualities The industries and
the trade OF the country have been hard
hit, and those who have been hurt seem
to take delight In exhibiting the scars
that marked the half-healed wound. The
marvel is that the stock market reflects
this universal hardship and depression
as little as 1t does. Seemingly. the great
up to go through the endurance test with
StoiciSm.
It is we'll that this is so. If concerted
effort were made by the hundreds Of
thousands of holders to get out Of their
investments or even to reduce their lines
the effect on prices and on sentiment
would be calamitous. American investors
are a patient class, studious and patriotic.
That fact has been the salvation Of the
stock market and for that matter the
courage Of the better class of Americans
has taught them to take their medicine.
They stand up under punishment with
mistaken courage. It is national trait.
Atchison's Experience.
Atchison is not the only railroad cor
poration to run up against state COM
missions created for the purpose of check
ing the tendency to wholesale issuing OF
stocks and bonds. 1t was a little en-
barrassing for the management Of that
company to have to admit that it was
ignorant Of the law requiring 1t to obtain
the consent of state railroad commissions
before it could go on with the sale OF
the last $26,OOO.0 600 bonds advertised to be
sold, but then it will recover from the
chagrin Also, the stockholders will not
have SO large burden to carry. Further
more, the Atchison is in no particular
need OF the money and can well get
along without it. Erie has been enjoying
something Of the same sort of trouble as
Atchison. 1t has got the right to borrow
$50, 600, 900. but on terms that are not en-
tirely satisfactory. This taken in connec-
ton with the discovery that it may need
a whole lot more money on top Of the
$50, 100000 does not contribute to the
peace and comfort Of stockholders.
There is a deep down fear that some
body had been buncoed into buying Third
Avenue, one Of the New York traction
companies. The story, apparently we'll
supported. went the round a few weeks
ago that New Haven had gained control
of that corporation and was in friendly
fellowship with Brooklyn Rapid Transit
In the deal. 1t now turns out that nearly
every house in Wall street has Third
Avenue In greater or less quantities and
the inquiry is being made as to where 1t
came from. 1t certainly came from some
where. The public has the goods ap-
parently. w. G. NICHOLAS.

Defining Seven.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
How would you define "seven?" The
Standard Dictionary says it is lone more
than six; Webster's calls it lone more
than six. or one less than eight: the
abridged Webster says 1t is Ave and
two" and the Century's definition runs
lone more than six: the sum Of three
and four" In metrology-that is. the sci
ence of weights and measures-seven Is
comparatively rare. The seven days of
the week form a striking example of its
use. however. Scholars have found. too,
that the Egyptian cubit contained seven
handbreadths. ''Cubit' is from the Latin
"cubitum," the elbow, or the distance
from the elbow to the end of the middle
finger. The Roman cubit was IL Roman

From the London Chronicle.

from the LouuOu OHTUHlCIe.
A forerunner of the present-day practice
of sending sea water to London for those
who desire brine baths dates from the
eighteenth century at Hampstead. where
an important borough by-election has just
taken place. At that time Hampstead
was in high repute for the medicinal
value of it's springs. and the waters were
dispatched daily to London for the benefit
of those who were unable to come TO
them. The price was Sd flask. with
stipulation that the flask should be re-
turned. Some curious advertisements of
Hampstead's attractions were issued in
its fashionable days. There was, for in
stance, Sion Chapel. where marriages
were performed free of charge. provided

ana the use of seven in the Egyptian

to a probable custom of placing the hand
