Other Peoples Money.

New York World
Without the aid of other peoples
money furnished by the chartered
banks of Chicago. how long could Jas.
A. Patten manipulate the price of
wheat?
The banks that have loaned their de-
positors' money and government mon
ey to Mr., Patten will say, of course,
that they are amply secured. So they
are. Elevator certificates are good col
lateral, and the security improves with
every advance of an eight Of cent in
the price of wheat But the public
which provides the money and pays all
he profits is not secured.
If Mr.. Patten had had to use his own
money to carry on his speculations
there would have been no wheat pool
and no increase in the cost of bread
But the American people are very gem
erous with the man who CANDLES on
the board of trade or the stock ex-
change at the expense Of the general
welfare, They grant liberal charters
and extraordinary privileges to banks.
They deposit their own money in these
banks. They allow the man who does
the gambling to have access to this
money and to make enormous profits
by employing it to Cypress the public.
In Mr.. Patterns case he has been able
to levy a tax of 81, O00, 900 or IS. GOO, 600
upon the households of the United
States by the simple process of borrow
ing other peoples money and then
turning it against them. Every wom-
an that bakes or buys a loaf Of bread
pays tribute to him.
An this is an old story both in Chica-
go and in New York. Neither Chicago
board of trade gambling nor Wall
street gambling could greatly affect
the general prosperity of the country
except through its relations with the
organized banking system. Wall street
always CANDLES with other peoples
money. Gov. Hughes commission will
not get to the root of the evil unless il
devises means by which the chartered
banks can be divorced from the ex.
changes. and the gamblers compelled
to provide their own resources in the
manipulation Of the market.
The United States is the only civil
lied country in the world which allows
its banking and treasury system to be
made part Of the machinery Of stock
and grain gambling.

jefferson County Union; The legis-
lature should not adjourn without Civ
ing Governor Davidson better control
of his appontee, the State Game War
den. At meeting of sportsmen in
GAINESVILLE held in January it was sug-
gested that every fishing license be
vised by the Governor. Then perhaps
we would not be subject to the humil-
iation Of seeing 1000 petitions slapped
in the face in order that certain in
nuential lumber firm may make 500
profit a year on boards for carp boxes
and that game warden graft may
have free course, run and be glorifed
Game fish are worth lOc to zoe per
pound or 5000 to $500 ton. 1t is a
shocking waste to permit 81, 600 to ST.
900 worth Of game fish to be destroyed
in order chat the carp men may clean
up a few hundred dollars. 1t is prob
ably conservative estimate that the
carp men have destroyed 100 tons of
game fish in their operation in Lake
Koshkonong alone, or in round numbers
$50, 600 to $40, 600 worth. If these fig
ures are anywhere near correct, is not
the carp industry a little expensive for
the state, inasmuch as the people re-
ceiye not one cent for the fish,

ECZEMA LODGES IN rHs Skin.
Not a Blood Disease-Cured by Oil of
WinterRreen Compound.

For many years eczema was supposed
to be blood disease and was erroneous
ly treated as such, but now the best au-
thorities agree that eczema is only a
skin disease and must be treated through
the skin. The eminent skin specialist,
DIR. d. d. Dennis. first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up in both Germany and
France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymol,
glycerine, etc. The remedy is liquid,
not mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores of the skin. Washing
with the Gil of wintergreen compound
seems to take the itch away at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. IVEY'S PHARMACY.

so long as to have proven its absolute

Toilette before Senator Smoot OF the
finance committee with reference to
the tariff on zinc.
The miners representatives contend
ed that they were entitled to tariff
of a cent and half pound on the
zinc contents of the ore and asked that
the duty be placed at that figure. 1t
appeared at the hearing, however, that
cent a pound on the zinc contents
was sufficient To cover the difference IN
the cost of Mexican and ore mined in
the United States. 1t was virtually
agreed that the duty should remain at
that figure as it had been reported.
w. A. Jones represented that the
Mineral Point Zinc Works needed the
Mexican low grade silichte ores to con-
tinue the operation of the Mineral
Point plant as a producer of oxide of
zinc. He says that the plant buys
every pound Of the carbonate ores or
dry bone of Wisconsin which is the only
product of the Wisconsin mines manu-
featured at Mineral Point. He desired
that Mexican ores should come in free
of duty but was more insistent that
this should apply particularly to the
low grade ores which he said were not
used in the manufacture of spelter.
1t was established at the hearing
that these low grade ores were used
extensively in the manufacture of me-
taIlic zinc at the smelters in Kansas
and at other points in the southwest.
There was no mistaking the purpose of
the senator from Wisconsin or Sena-
tors Warner and Stone of Missouri and
Curtis of Kansas, who were present,
that the miners should have sufficient
protection to measure the difference in
the cost of production. So when Mr.
Jones saw this he gave way on his
proposition to the extent of saying that
he would be satisfied if these low grade
Mexican ores would be brought in
under duty and under bond and if man
ufactured into zinc oxide that the duty
be refunded This provision was to
apply to ores not exceeding $3.50 in zinc
contents. After agreeing to this prop
osition the representatives of the min
ing interests of southwestern Wiseon-
sin and the Joplin, Mo-, district agreed
that ores up to 3096 might be brought
in for this purpose.
The mining men are confident that a
provision such as this will in no way
injure the Wisconsin mines as but very
little of their output and none of the
output of jack is used in the manufact-
ure of oxide of zinc. 1t is all used to
make metallic zinc except what dry
bone is produced The Wisconsin dry
bone is of such superior quality that
the low grade Mexican ore is not a
competitor of it in the oxide field In
fact, in order to get the best market
results out of the Mexican ore, it is
necessary to mix it with the Wisconsin
product The provision, if adopted lH
congress, will give ample protection 60
the producers of spelter ore and will
insure the continued operation of the
Mineral Point Zinc company as a pro-
Queer of oxide.

Il Patton Lived IN Berlin.

We Americans. being the smartest
people under the sun. do not care to
adopt the institutions of the etrete
monarchies of Europe. Far from it.
But it may be interesting to note that
if Mr.. Patten, who waited until the
farmer had no wheat and then boosted
the price through a skillfully worked
corner, had lived in Berlin, he would
now be explaining to the authorities in

the price Of bread, and the mills shut
down because Mr.. Patterns wheat is
worth more to speculate with than it is
to grind, and is too rich for the plain

CONTESTS CLOSE
FAMOUS ACTRESS WILL RETAIN
MANY FOR STUDY
Surprised at Time and Close Thought
Given to Problems by Readers
of The Los Angeles

Despite the fact that the time for
answering the questions propounded
by Miss Olga Nethersole which arise
in the course of her new play, 1.-The
Writing on the WALL" has passed, let
ters continue to pour into The Herald
office. Up to the time the contest
closed there were 1914 letters received
in answer to Miss Nethersole's ques-
tions. Many of the letters are of such
nature that they do not answer ex-
actly the questions, but discuss sub
jects kindred to the questions. For
this reason Miss Nethersole will keep
practically all of the letters as a basis
for future sociological investigation.
The drawing power OF The Herald,
as expressed in the answers received
whose direction Miss Nethersole is
making her tour. He is of the opinion
that at least $4,000 people discussed
the questions, although. Of course, that
number of answers we're not received.
LOS Angeles Herald has surprised
me-" said Mr.. Monroe last night. 81 had
no idea the paper reachedkuc class
of thinking, discerning people. 1t GER
tainly is an earnest of the papers
worth and the hold it has upon its
readers, to see the answers to the
Nethersole questions. 1t proves to me
most clearly that the people of Los
Angeles are awake to the social prob
lens of the day and that they read
The Herald widely and carefully. I
know now why The Writing on the
walP has grlpped the people of Los
Angeles"
II want to thank the people of Los
Angeles forstheir answers to my ques-
tions," said Miss Nethersole. as she sat
in her dressing room last night. "They
have given me some food for thought
in their logical and discerning answers
to nv questions. | have found new
inspiration in some of those letters,
and I shall refer to them often. 1t
seems to me that new fields of social
research present themselves in the let
ters. and | doubt not that sooner or
later 1 shall have play based upon
the answers l have received here in
Los Angeles.
"The people Of Los Angeles show
that they think and that they read
at least one newspaper, The Herald.
I have felt all along. that my message
to the people would be understood, and
that the vital questions of the day
should be discussed upon the stage.
The hundreds of letters have had the
pleasure of reading since coming here
to Los Angeles simply prove to my
own satisfaction that l am right In
my belief.

in nv private scrapbook and shall keep
them always as a reference and an IN
