How Inventory Was Taken.

The most expert accountants and
appraisers to be had were put at the
task. Their labors lasted over eight
months. Their report and it's publ.
cation by the company marks an ep.
och in finance.
1t began by recommending an ad.
justment Of the difference between
the appraised and book values by a
charge of $5,595,OS9 against sur.
plus. Book values of securities held
were reduced to market values, bad
and doubtful accounts were "charg.
ed off, B" an allowance of S2,OOO,OOO
was made for depreciation" another
Of $5OO,000 for reserve" and so on,
until the old surplus of S18,S67, ,OOO
came down to $5,136,OOO
It required courage, the publication
or this statement to stockholders, say.

your company has been reval.

ions, as you have been led to be.
lieve, but five millions" but It was
the truth and President Vail did not
finch. Accuracy and publicity" he
declared, was essential. "The stock.
holder has right to know. The
shares of this company are scatter.
ed from one end of the Union to the
other. This is more than a private
corporation. It is a great national
enterprise. The public is entitled to
the facts"
The report was ordered published
forthwith. Financiers of the old
school and spectators generally we're
aghast What would happen? Would
the bottom drop out of Western
Union when the shareholders realiz.

S13OOO,OOO less than they had sun.

happened. The stock went up and

Are the great financiers of the
country beginning to see new light?
Time was, until recently in fact when
the men at the head of the big cor
porations kept their business to
themselves" as far as the law would
allow. Capable men at the head of the
big concerns, long realized the weak
ness of their position, but what was
needed obviously, as in all great re-
forms, was an unmistakable occasion
and a courageous man. The occasion
arose IN the purchase of the Western
Union Telegraph company by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company and the man appeared in
Theodore N. Vail, President Of the
purchasing corporation.
1t was last December when public
announcement was made that the
Gould holdings OF Western Union had
been taken over by the Telephone
company.
On account Of the high esteem in
which the management of the tele-
phone company is so generally held,
great things were predicted as a re-
suit of the absorption OF Western
Union. BY the press of the country
the deal" was most favorably com
mented on, it being widely pointed
out that under the direction of such
men as Theodore N. Vail and his as
sociates, the telegraph company was
bound soon to work itself into a po-
sition where it could offer the public
FAR more efficient service than it had
ever before been able TO offer.

when it became apparent to the new
management that modern and up.

at 4:10 p. M, when the big crowd fol-

There was no delay at the station and
the party was soon on the way to
Lawrence via ottawa.
Only one stop was made and that
was at Baldwin, where Senator Bris-
tow formerly attended Baker univer-
sity The former president made this
an occasion of laudatory remarks that
brought an expansive smile to the
face of the Kansas insurgent.

Just as necessary. When I find such

CHILDREN IN WHITE WITH
SUNFLOWERS WELCOME T. R.
Former President DediCateS New
Fountain at Lawrence

LAWRENCE, Kas.. Aug. = S1.-The
dedication of drinking fountain pro-
vided by the Humane society in the
center of this town was timed for the
arrival of Col. Roosevelt here to dine
with Governor Stubbs
Drawn up in picturesque form were
hundreds of little children, all attired
in white garments, with big sunfioWers
prominently displayed.
Col. Roosevelt, speaking from a
stand erected for the occasion, talked
to the children Of the kindness and
gentleness that should characterize
their treatment of oumb animals. Cru
city to dumb creatures, he said, was
next to cruelty to humanity.
Referring to the state university,
located here, he paid a glowing tribute
to the value of education, especially
when providing for the practical af-
fairs of life.
"But after ALL" he said, "the great
est essential is to have the right kind
of character"
The colonel was frequently applaud
ed by the large assemblage of men and
women.
IF you have not character" he said,
"you cannot have good citizenship.
The stronger a man is and the abler
he is the worse he is if he has not
character and does not do his duty to
his family and to the state. But do
not forget, you educators" he said,
addressing himself to the body of
teachers that formed part of the
audience, ''that in bringing about re-
finement you must cultivate the manly
qualities. I do not care how good a
man is if he has not got strength of
character there is little that can be
done with him. 1 want man not
only to do justice to himself but to see
that no one is unjust to him. l want
him to feel that if another man tackles
him he would not think it would be a
good thing to go home, but rather that
he would make the other man stand
back. If a war should come want
them to make good soldiers to defend
the country"
