the gambler is able to borrow more
than the real loan value of the stock,
tie excess being furnished by the
broker out of his capital as an en-
enlargement to gambling. The con-
troll of the loan end of the collateral
remains wholly in the broker, who
uses both as if he were the sole
party in interest Let the law. then
while in general prohibiting margin
trading, also in particular prohibit the
broker from lending any additional
sum beyond the bank loan, ana insist
that the broker shall inform his Gus
toner of the number and description
of the certificates which he has bought,
the amount of the loan and the name
of the bank where the loa1 is placed.
Make it clear also that the owner
ship of the stock is wholly in the Gus
toner. and that it will be grand lar
ceny for the broker to use this col
lateral for his own advantage. Such
PROVISIONS as these would make the
prohibition against margin trading in
stantly effectual, and nothing short of
this would.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: That is
marvellous tale which. from off the
Massachusetts coast, the sea sends
us. Two hours before sunrise on Sat
urday, when cropping its way through
one of those New England coast fogs
which make MONDAY seem like mid
night, the White Star steamer Repub
lie, bound from New York to ports on
the Mediterranean. was, when off the
Nantucket Lightship. rammed by the
Italian Lloyds steamer Florida, on the
way from Naples to New York, and
disabled. Instantly the wrecked steam.

tress, which talks the same tongue to
all the maritime countries. lmmedi
ately were sent the cabalistic signs
which told that the wreck was in 'lati-
tude 40-17, longitude, TO- Taking up
the signals the wireless operator at
err spur. hurled them through the
darkness, seward and landward. For
hundreds of miles sea ana land
caught the summons, and went to the
rescue. Vessels outward and inward
bound started for the scene. The Lu,

other steamers, representing many
lines, and plying between ports OF
Europe and America widely separated
from each other, headed for the dan.
ger spot off Nantucket light. On the
same mission Uncle Sans revenue
cutters Mohawk, Seneca. Cushing,
Gresham and others steamed off from
Provincstown, Newport, Woods Hole
and other points on the New England
coast. Except six persons who were
killed in the collision, all the passen-
gers and crew of the disabled vessel
were saved. The passengers of both
the Republic and the Florida were
landed in New York last night by the
Baltic. Thus, through the working of

of people. The little Siasconsett OF

layers themselves, hitherto unheard OF
by the general public suddenly writes
itself on the worlds map. magnifi-
cent tribute to the value OF the Mar
conf scheme is furnished by this story
of the rescue of the hundreds of peo-
pie outward and inward bound. on
the steamers which figured In the
wreck. The wireless here proves 1t
self to be something more than the
toy which. until yesterday, the greater
part of the world imagined it to be.
So far as the world has heard at the
present writing, the officers and crews
of the vessels in the collision behaved
in characteristically creditable man
ner. The passengers were speedily
transferred from the Republic to the
Florida, and then, when the Baltic
reached the scene. the passengers of
both the injured vessels were given
to her. Goodness, courage, discipline,
appear to have been displayed on both
of the steamers This was especially
true of the Republic, the boat which
was disabled, which promised to sink
at any moment and which did sink
while being towed toward New York.
There was no scramble to get off the
boat. All was done in order. First
the passengers, the women and the
children in the lead. Then the crew.
Last of all the captain. This is the
law of the men who go down to the
sea in ships. The marvel which sci

discovery in somewhat similar cir
cumstances in 1916. Though we may

COST OF TUBERCULOSIS.

DIR. Strange of the faculty OF the
State College at Ames has just made
public some figures showing the enor-
nous losses resulting from tubercu-
losis in Iowa every year. Not only is
every seventh death in the state
caused by this dread disease, but in
1906 alone stock valued at $1.500,000
was lost through it. In giving out this
startling information in an address at
the Short Course at Mason City the
other day DR.. Strange exhibited a
chart showing that the disease has
spread rapidly in Iowa in recent years
and that the state is now reeking with
it. In 1901 the number of cases of tu
berculosis in hogs was $500 and in
1906 there were $4,000 In beef cattle
in 1901 there were $500 cases, and in
1906 it grew to 1880. The disease
was traceable to the COWS which gave
it to the hogs. The majority of the
cases we're detected among swine fed
milk.
On the same authority 40 per cent of
the deaths among Iowa children the
last year were due to tuberculosis,
largely intestinal. More farmers chill
dren die of the disease than of any
other class. and more milk drinkers
die than any other. The speaker
scored the farmer who keeps his COWS
in low, dark damp stables and declared
that the day of dirty yards, barns,
cows and mixers is over, or SHOULD be
if there is to be any modification OF
the ravages of the disease. Still an
other loss was limited at in the
closing declaration of the speaker that
Chicago packers allow certain per
cent for tare on Iowa hogs from the
number which reach them unfit fol-
human food. This is state of affairs
that calls for prompt and radical
remedial measures.

= bill has been introduced in the
state senate which is intended to pro-
vide way by which the state may
dispose of some of the suits which are
frequently hro"ght for large sums
against corporations or failure to CON-
ply with the laws At presen. the at
torney general has no alternative but
to into court and either win big
sum or lose all, and frequ -ntly the
magnitude of the sums sought defeats
the erds of justice. The bill would
open the way for compromise and
settlement out of court thr, gh the
Office of the attorney general and by

Attention is called by the Chicago
Tribune to the important fact that
health officials have found that more
contagion is spread from children that
are supposed to be we'll than from
those Who are known to be sick. In
cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria
this is often true. The patient may
appear to be we'll but the germs are
still present and it is therefore dan
gerous for him to mingle with chill
dren that are really we'll. The warn
ing is a timely one and should be
needed by everybody.

rhe Davenport Democrat asserts tina

The Davenport Democrat asserts that
the hunters of Iowa as body do not
approve of the proposed law, intro
duced in the legislature by Senator
McManus from this county, to prohibit
the killing of quail until the 1st OF
January. 1914. The reason it assigns
is that most of the hunters do not
make living by cultivating the crops
which the birds do so much to protect
from the insect pests. If this be true
there is the more reason that the farm
ers of the state should rally to the
support of the McManus measure.

CHURCH CENSUS SHOWS GAINS

IN
Statistics for year show that all
tie religious bodies of the United
States for the year 1908 together made
a net gain of 720.647 During the year
the number of churches increased by
1874 and the number of ministers by
2s35. Nevertheless, the increase IS
declared to be less than normal In
each item. The average of member-
sh. gain for the last six years was
912.72S. The total present number OF
church members N the United States
is 34.2S2,543. Outranking every other
sect four to one. although less than
the aggregate of Protestants, is the
Roman Catholic. with an estimated
membership of 1889 T31. This, it is
explained, means adherents rather
than members after the stricter fash
ion of Protestant bodies.
Next to the Roman Catholics come
the Methodists with 3,11244S conf
municants. Third are Baptists with
