CLOUDS HAVE ROLLED BY.

All danger of a financial disturbance
this fall has passed away according to
the view of Henry Clews, an accepted
Wall street authority.
AS one evidence of settled conditions
he cites the fact that new securities to
the amount of $50.OOO,OOO have been
placed within the past two weeks. He
finds additional satisfaction in the
turn of political affairs in New York.
Referring to Colonel Roosevelt he
says
Colonel Roosevelt is too experienced
and too astute a politician to permit
personal rancors to continue the DOM
mating features during the remainder
of the campaign, which from now on
should assume a constantly decreasing
influence as factor in the general
situation"
After expressing the utmost faith
and confidence in President Taft. espe-
cially as regards the selection of SUI
preme court judges yet to be made he
continues:
1.-THE Standard Oil and the Ameri-
can Tobacco cases under such condi-
lions lost their force as features of
alarm, and we may feel thoroughly as
sured that whatever decisions are
reached will be based on the constitu-
tional rights of property. We can ask
or desire nothing more. If these or
CARNATIONS in their form contravene
the laws, ample opportunity will be
given them to conform to the laws.
There will be no attempt at confsca-
ton, and it is quite fair to assume that
under the new conditions that are now
in sight the decisions of the supreme
court affecting industrial combinations
are not the threatening influences that
they were a few months ago.

WOBBLY NEW YORK.

If New York should go Democratic in
November as the result of the Repub-
Hcan factionaI fight in that state, the
ever hopeful Democrats doubtless
would consider such a result as a har-
binger of victory in 1912.
It will be recalled that the Stalwa1t-
Falfbreed war of 30 years ago made
Governor Cleveland president. His
overwhelming defeat of Folger, due to
fight to the death over the spoils Of
office in the Republican party, made
him the logical candidate in the ma
tional contest two years later, and he
won, but how?
The tremendous majority of 49,, 900
for Cleveland in 1882 dwindled to about
1000 in 1884, and this plurality it is
generally believed was dishonesty OBJ
tained. The returns in certain Tam
many districts were held back nearly
a week for the purpose of ascertaining
how many votes the party candidate
needed and then a sufficient number
was counted for him to give him the
state.
This part of the history of that cam
paign could hardly be repeated.
The Republicans could not well make
a fuss about it then, because only
eight years before they had robbed
Tilden of an election. No president
since the war has been elected without
the vote of the Empire state. New
York's political history shows the state
so constituted that t can reverse itself
radically in brief time, and so it is un-
safe to count upon what happens IN
November, 1910, as conclusive evidence
of what is going to happen in Noven-
Der, 1912.
There is a large Independent vote to
be reckoned with only at the time;
never two years in advance

Rlessings or a GOOD Wife.

WifeIy devotion was well illustrated
in the case of two prisoners recently
released from the Ohio penitentiary. At
the gates waiting to receive them, were
their wives. The husband in each in
stance had violated the law and been
condemned by a jury of his peers, but
the wife had never faltered in her faith
or sympathy or helpfulness. And there,
welcoming the men to a new freedom
and encouraging them to a new life,
stood these two women, typical of the
best of their sex. Many men, after the
humiliation of prison life, are ham
pered by suspicion and rebuffed in
every effort to lead a better life and
are ultimately driven by discourage
ment back to crime and prison. 1t
ought not to be so with these two men,
or with any of the others who, on re-
lease find themselves still possessed of
the love of a good woman.
Love that is not destroyed by hus-
bands mistakes, devotion that is not

A movement is on foot to compel

There is a certain man in Winfield,
the Free Press says, who has a habit

One of these friends has discovered a

the present writing he has borrowed
back twenty-five cents more than he
lent to the borrower and the borrower
has not showed up for the past eight

The editor of the Howard Courant

Some Mems SIGNATURES.

Occasionally you may receive a let
ter from the man whose signature at
the bottom of the letter couldn't have
been read by himself If someone else
had put it over on him.
And when you write to him he's
sore and embarrassed If you haven't
written his initials and name rightly in
the address.
There are just two resources that
you may have in trying to decipher
that name in full. His letterhead
paper that may contain his name if
he's at all important in the organiza-
tion-providing, of course, that you
have enough bunch in the signature
to trace it in print.
That other resource as to the initial
letters of Christion and surnames many
be found in the possible stenographer' s
addendum, "BPG=K." This means
that the stenographer "K'' has taken
the dictated letter from "BPG," who
has written to you.
If all these fail, however, cut off
the signature from the letter and paste
it and post it on the address side of
the envelope, after which address him
in your letter simply as my Dear Sir
even if you would like to shoot him.
