Yesterday afternoon at the ball

In the first inning Clay Center run
in three scores through a base on

Even an optimist may be inclined

Where the Danger Lies.

The recent shocking revelations as
to the white slave traffic indicate
that the majority Of victims come
from the ranks of immigrant girls
But it is also true that large NUN.
Der is drawn from the small cities
and towns of our own country.
That may seem surprising to many,
and yet little reflection will show
how easily it is made possible. Be
cause the small town is free from
some of the evil features of the large
city. and everybody is popularly sup.
posed to know everybody else, many
parents relax the vigilance and au-
thority they would exercise in a
larger place.
That Is where the danger lies
The greater freedom as to hours
companionShip and other matters
and the laxity of parental discipline
not unoften breeds dangerous dis
regard for moral and social proprie-
ties. When that is the case. as
many a family knows to its shame,
it Is an easy thing fr some glib.
persuasive pander to induce girls
to leave home by false descriptions
of the easy and attractive life they
may enjoy in the city.
Almost Invariably the girl thus
entrapped lids farewell to virtue
and happiness, and another line i:
added to the chapter of ruined lives
and wrecked homes. These con
ditions do not exist to very great
degree in the South, but still parents
right here should keep up with their
girls. and know at all times with
whom they go and where they go
With proper home training and care
full supervision all girls would be
safe. but many parents are too neg
ligent along this line.

What Causes Them.

The greed Of man Is responsible
for much suffering and loss of life.
Official Investigations have shown
that very many of the railroad ac-
cidents that occurred between 1900
and 1907 were due to defective rails,
and that the defects were caused by
the attempt Of the railmarkers to
turn out an increasing number OF
rails in q given time. The attempt
succeeded. and their bank accounts
correspondingly grew, but it was at
the expense Of the quality OF the
rails. The reduction of the time of
the "teeming" process from twenty
two minutes to nine minutes result

Prize Bunco Game.

"The plan for central bank or
ganized in Wall Street and not with

Wall Street will control this ba.k
or there will be no such institution. :
So declared Alfred Crozier, the

probably one of the best versed
students Of finance in the country.
when asked for On explanation, bes-
ed or the statement published, that
one of the commission admits that
such bank will be recommended.

ed Mr. Crozier. ITO note the coy

American history, calculated 20 place

that would have been certain to re-
suit had the entire scheme been
sprung on the public at once, the
men engineering the deal have been
shrewd enough to spring their plans
by strategy. Today's scheme is ac-
credited to one OF the MEMBERS of
Ithe monetary commission. 1t is
planned that the statement that the
monetary commission appointed by
the last congress has decided that
central bank is necessary, is merely
a feeIer. If 1t causes protest, as
it is sure to Go, from small bankers
who have not yet been whipped into
line. the way will be smoothed and
it will be easy to find out who. the
opponents of the bill are. Badly
rs Wall Street wants the institution
which would give it entire power to
issue anu withdraw the money OF
the country-namely the power to
back OF the project will knife their
back of the project will knife their
own offspring IN an instant If they
feel that any scheme will be consul
mated which will keep the control
of the institution in the hands Of
the government.
''Of course there has been no open
talk of Wall Street control of a GEN.
tral bank of issue. Such a thing
would be fatal. The plan Is for a
ibank with capital stock privately
owned. In my opinion no possible
scheme could be devised which would
prevent Wall Street from gaining
control of g bank with its stock
issued as this Is planned.
There are a great many sugges-
tions made regarding the proposed
bank and every effort will be made
by the Wall Street interests to sur
round the entire matter with such
q wealth of technicalities that the
public will refuse to pay any atten-
tion to the scheme.
"The real issue, however, is mere
ly this. Shall great central bank
be established which will have pow
or to Issue >or secure our money, and
if so shall 1t be done by the govern
ment or by private corporations?"
