LIKELY TO SELL
STATE SECURITIES

The States finances are in such a
low condition, the bottom of the
Treasury has been so long in sight,
the present economical Administration
has succeeded SO well in clearing up
the States income and leaving it moth
ing but clamorous debts, that some
thing must be hawked off to save the
situation 1t is reported on good
authority that the State will sell all its
securities. This policy was indicated
in May last when the States stock in
the Easton National Bank was sold
after an ownership OF more than a
century The Governors Cabinet will
meet on July 20 to consider the ques-
ton whether the State shall sell its Sc
curities or continue to go into debt.
The securities will probaly go. It will
enable the Administration to keep
down its tax rate and show better
financial statement The Northern
Central Railway mortgage, for in
stance. is held by the State for $780,
600. To dispose of that mortgage and
dump its proceeds into the Treasury
would be quite lift to the Admin
istraton in its efforts to make show
ing before the people, when, as mat
ter OF fact, its extravaganza and IN
competency have brough it into the
very slough of despond SO far as finan-
cial matters GO 1t is the safe bet that
the States securities will be sold. 1t
might be a good bet that the State seal
will go to ''uncles" collection OF col
laterals, if it will keep the Administra-
ton out of its hole.

Mr.. Editor
The Democrats false and mislead
ing statement knowingly or other

fund, has been so completely answered
in the Wing OF last Saturday that you
will not think it necessary perhaps to
publish the information | herewith en-
close, confirming your first contention
in every particular 1t is easy to see
that the editor OF the Democrat is en-
tirely ignorant OF what he is attempt
ing to discuss or is wilfully making
false statements in what he knows to
be an utter failure on the part OF the
Governors henchmen to properly run
the county government. 1ou cannot
get away from the fact that these road
bonds will be due in 1918, and the
sinking fund should have been prop
erly taken care OF i'll accordance with
the table which | give below. We not
only lose interest, but il they should
square up" the sinking fund today
they would do so out OF money receiv-
ed from the State. which should be
used to take up their notes in bank,
which was borrowed to advance the
States proportion on the roads They
have no other money and haven't had
any other, and ii you could get at their
cash on hand and in bank before they
got the money from the State, you
would find it mix" As said in my
letter last week, let the Commission
ers furnish the people with a full and
correct statement of the financial trans
actions and condition OF that office, il
they want the people to stop asking
questions and having uncomfortable
suspicious. The Crothers rule is on in
this county, and nobody seems salts
fled with the way things are going,
as to finances, roads or anything else.

" He taxpayers OF the State (and
pretty much every man is 4
tax payer in some iorm) will
doubtless admire the easy, Jauntv air
with which the Governor predicts that
possibly "a million dollars year will
cover the cost of the repairs OF all
State-improved roads after their COM
pletion.' (See news article in another
column Equally interesting is the
untroubled air OF nonchalance with
which the Governor contemplates this
Staggering" sum. Why regard it
seriously in this day, when money is
so plentiful and when we speak so
lightly OF such large sums? But last
stage OF all, the prospective burden be-
comes mere bagatelle when we
make up our minds to retrench in
legislative expenses and other drec

a - theirs will shortly call meet
ing OF the Commission OF which he is
chairman, and which was appointed by
Governor CrOtherS to investigate and
to report to him on local legislation.
This statement is made IN all gravity
by our city cousins. The country cou-
sins must be allowed to smie-at the
idea OF Senator Crothers conducting
an investigation and making a report
on the subject OF local legislation.
We are not in the least inclined to
grow serious over this news item. 1t

The only thing disturbing in the pros
pect is the possibility OF Austin and
Oma. mixing things up somewhat
worse than they have already done.
Their late experiments in manipulate
ing local legislation have cost the
county lot of money, without pro-
ducing any particular results except to
bring pretty much everything to a
stand-still while expenses 60 increas-
ingly on. Maybe the fellow who has
seen Kelly" has seen what the new
Crothers legislation has accomplished
for the county-NOBODY ELSE
HAS. But Senator Omar will 'inves-
tigate' for Governor Austin. And
then the same valuable investigator
will report to the same invaluable
Executive. And then-well, then some
more dirt will be flung in the people S
faces and some more money will be
flung out OF the peoples pockets. But

THE editor of abe Democrat is not
having the happiest time in the world
in his efforts to trail along in the Gro
theirs camp, with enough show Of 10y
atty to save his official head. His lat
est flow OF tears follows hard upon the
recent defeat Of the bond issues. He
is much disconnected to think how
those who were opposed to and de-
feated the bond issue could be willing
to sink municipal advantage beneath
personal or political gain" Now
don't that jar" you some-to hear the
present editor Of the Democrat mourn
ing over men who care more for per

for public advantage Folks familiar
wit hthe career of the Democrats edi-
tor will know how to estimate thost

The opening was attended by the
crown prince, members of the royal
family, mobiles, government officials
and the diplomatic corps.
One of the most interesting EXHIBITS
was a model farm, showing PADDY
fields and rice under cultivation, and
the methods of irrigating and fertillz-
ing them. In this exhibit steel ploW
of American manufacture was shown,
to be used in the dry season, which
attracted the attention of all prac-
tical cultivators familiar with farming
conditions here. A pineapple planta-
ton under cultivation was shown in
this exhibit, also ninety different va
rieties of grass growing in the rice
fields.
A creditable display for a home in
dustry was that of the Siam Industries
syndicate, recently formed, showing
native soaps, "glycerine" and 'castile."
Another was that Of the Siam stone
works Qimited), showing granite and
marble from the Hinlap quarries, poth
in blocks and in polished slabs.
European fire apparatus, to be
worked by hand, motor cars, marine
engines and some few American tools
and agricultural implements formed
part of the exhibit.
The exhibition was voted a success
and the officials, judges and exhibit
ors decided that for the next eXhlbl-
ton six months notice be given in ad-
vance so that foreign exhibitors might
display their products.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 2.-The Durham

bitter quarrel ensued between District
Attorney H. S. Utley and L. >. Tor
rance. counsel for Schonek, and both
attorneys were fined $50 by Judge Guy
for contempt of court for refusing TO
stop uuarreling at his order.
Because the court did not make an
equivalent Jail sentence, both attor,
news refused to pay the fine and detied
the court and county to sue them lor
the amount, The quarrel began Wheii
Attorney Utley accused Torrance OF
a+tenDting to delay the trial until he
could gather evidence that the murder

firebug, and not SChOnek, who is on
trial for setting a number of fires.

SCOTCH SHIP GOODS To
AMERICA TO Be MADE UP
Clothing Made in United States
Finds a Ready Sale
in Glasgow

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-In connec-
tion with the announcement of two
American houses that their ready
made suits could be obtained in the
principal cities of Europe, Vice-Consul
Thomas r. Jones reports from Glas-
gov on the introduction of American
made clothing in Scotland:
One of the largest tailoring and gen
tlemen's furnishing establishments in
Glasgow has recently purchased from
a prominent New York firm line OF
ready-made clothing for men and is
displaying the goods. This was the
first order of the kind from this con-
Cern, and so far as ascertainaole 1t Is
the first time any Glasgow clothier has
placed before his customers American
ready-made clothing.
The firm in question is delighted with
the experiment and is arranging to
handle American clothing on a large
scale, carrying a full line of oVercoats,
sack suits, and tuxedos.t The goods
have already sold well and the de-
mand is developing. The Glasgow firm
admits that the finish on these Amerl-
can goods is better than can be ac-
complished by their tailors, regardless
of the price charged. In other words,
they have no tailors expert enough TO
finish the shoulders, collar, and lapeIs
of a coat, with any material at any
price, as we'll as the American goods
are finished. This firm purchased its
own material and sent it to the
United States to be made into the
finished product and the claim is made
that these suits can be sold in Scot
land at an even cheaper price than now
obtains in the United States.
For the past year this consulate has
greatly interested itself in the intro
duction of American ready-made cloth
ing into this district, and now that the
initial experiment has been made and
has been attended with success, 1t
seems that other clothing merchants In
this city might be induced to put In
stock a line Of American clothing. The
field is practically undeveloped and
there is a large number of mems fur
nishing and clothing concerns that
could we'll afford to make the trial.
one interesting feature of the expert
ment made by the firm alluded TO Is
that it had the clothing made up In
the latest American styles, and con-
seuuently the manufacturers in the
United States did not have to study
British styles 1t will of course be
understood that the clothing purchased
was of high class, and l do not be-
lieve that it would pay to enter this
market with anything else.

HONG KONG MAKES GAINS
IN TOBACCO INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-One of the
new industrial enterprises in Hong
kong is the Oriente cigar factory,
which commenced operations in De-
cember, 1908, concerning which wee
Consul General Stuart j. Fuller Writes
1.-The proprietor of this plant has
been in the cigar manufacturing bus
mess since 1888 and still operates the
El Oriente factory in Manila. The
greatly increased cost of labor in the
Philippines is given as the prime fac
tor in locating this enterprise in Hong
kong. Another factor, the proprietor
states, was the import duty imposed
on packing materials and on the to-
bacco used for wrapper. Hongkong
being a free port, there are no inter-
nal revenue regulations to be complied
with, another advantage from the point
Of the manufacturer.
"When this plant was opened four
teen skilled cigarmakers, men and
women. were brought over from the
philiDpine islands to instruct the Chi
nese. At the close of last year forty
Filipinos and 10 Chinese were en-
ployed in making cigars. The total
number of employees in all the depart
ments of the business is given by the
proprietor as 800.
1.-The boxes are made at the factory,
but the labels are imported from Eu-
rope. The output of cigars at the
close of 1909 was $4,000 to 10000 day,
gradually Increasing as the Chlnese
become more proficient in the work.

GOVERNOR MAY ORDER
COLUMBUS TROOPS HOME

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 2.-Governor
Harmon today is considering with,
drawing about half of the NatlonaI
Guard here on riot duty and cutting
down the expenses of maintenance of
soldiers from $4,000 a day to about
$4,000. In that event half of the street
cars will be taken off and al lines
abandoned temporarily with the ex-
ception of the West Broad street
Long street and High street. Negotia-
tions for a settlement of the strike
were renewed today with but little
prospects of agreement.
The sending home of certain troops
would cut out the division formation
and would relieve from duty Major
Charles Dick, United States senator,
and all of his staff of officers. General
Weybrecht says that the troops on
duty here are just sufficient to protect
all cars now in operation. 1t would
be folly, he says, to withdraw any
troops unless certain car lines were
abandoned.

MINERS MAY join
NEW LABOR UNION
Organization of National Scope
Discussed by the Delegates
After Denver Session
Associated Pressl

DENVER, Aug. 2.-Intimation of the
forming of a new labor union of ma
tional scope, comprising the Western
Federation Of Miners, the United Mine
Workers of America and the steel
workers of the country, who are at
present but little organized, was given
bv President Charles H. Meyer of the
Western Federation today just before
final adjournment of that organiza-
ton which has been in session here
for the last sixteen days.
The formation of such a union was
presented as an alternative to affilia-
ton with the American Federation Of
Labor. in case the last named organ
izaton declines to delegate to the
Western Federation the authority the
miners demand. In these demands the
most important is that all men en-
ployed about metalliferous mines,
whether engaged in actual mining or
not be placed under the jurisdiction
of the Western Federation
In a resolution passed this after
noon the executive committee was en-
powered to meet with the executive
committee .of the Fedration of Labor
and to complete the details necessary
to affiliation with the latter body,
provided the demands of the miners
were met.
president Meyer and John C. Will
liams of Grass Valley, Cal, were
named fraternal delegates to the meet
ing of the American Federation OF
Labor. They will have seats in the
convention, but no votes, nor be en-
titled to the floor without the consent
of the convention. Meetings of the
executive committee of the miners will
be held here for the next few days.

BREWERY AT H0NGK0NG

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Vice Con-
sui General Stuart ]. Fuller states
that a number of attempts have been
made in the past in Hongkong to es-
tablish a brewery, but the first sue
cessful one is the Oriental brewery
which commenced operations early In
1902. The buildings are extensive and
the brewery installation is of the most
modern American type, having a ca
pacity of 100000 barrels of beer per
annum. American capital is under
stood to be back of the enterprise
which is already successfully compel
ing with the Japanese and Tsingtau
beers. This company also operates an
Ice plant in conjunction with its brew
cry enc the introduction of the ice
plant has been a material factor IN
lowering the price of this COMMONLY
in the local market. There is another
Iiongkong ice plant, operated by an
older company and manufacturing ice
for sale, while the Dairy Farm COM
pany has a plant to supply its own
