BANKER PAROLED

VIII be Out of Joliet Peniten-
tiary Soon.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Paul o. Stems
land and Henry w. Herring, presi-
dent and cashier OF the wrecked Mil
waukee Avenue State bank, have won
their fight for freedom before the
state board of pardons. Paroles were
granted them yesterday and if Gov
ernor Deneen approves the decision
the two men will be released from
their cells at the Joliet penitentiary
within a few days, probably on Mon
day.
Protests were made against the re-
lease of the two convicts by attor-
neys representing the hundreds who
lost their savings in the bank and
who were driven to poverty by the
acts of the two men, and relatives
of those who were made mad and
committed suicide.
Only two hours were taken to
argue the case before the board of
pardons and the decision that needs
only the governors signature to free
the bank wreckers was given after
a few minutes debate by the board.
Stories of DesOIatiOn Told.
Stories of the desolation and crime
which the wrecking of the bank caus-
ed were told by officials of two Polish
organizations whose members lost
most of their savings in the Milwau-
kee avenue bank. To balance these,
Clarence barrow. attorney for Stems
land, and Felix Streyckmans, attor-
ney for Herring, painted word pictures
of the dishOnor and ignominy put up
on the bankers by their prison terms.
Both convicts were described as hav-
ing been innocent of real wrongdoing
ana as victims of their own lack of
business judgment and GOODNESS in
time of trouble.

THE trotting horse is infinitely more
practical and useful, speaking on
broad lines, than the thoroughbred"
said a well known horse breeder, to a
Washington Herald reporter "a thor
oughbred has the speed for burst of
time, but when it comes to do hard
work every day, day after day and
all the year around. It cannot COM
pete with the trotting horse. The thor.
ougbbred is rattle Drained, has nc
sense, is beyond all control. 1t doesn't
know when to stop or what to do in
a race; it simply runs until it cannot
run any longer, whereas the trottinG
horse is under the control of its driver
from start to finish and obeys orders
at any time. The thoroughbred natu-
rally exceeds the trotter in burst Of
speed. but in the long run it cannot
compete. AS a general proposition, ii
is accepted among horsemen that the
trotting horse is superior to the thor
oughbred for general purposes"

CAT, AND FOX MEET.

And Reynard Retires the Worse For
the Meeting.
In a recent number of a German
sporting paper a forester describes a
scene which he witnessed in clearing
in the forest.
He came one afternoon upon a big
black cat occupied apparently in the
pursuit of mice, and from the shelter
of a tree he watched its movements
through a feldglass. After a few min
utes an old fox made it's appearance.
Sinking slowly forward toward the
cat, it lay down within few steps Of
it, ready to spring.
The cat had observed its enemy, but
beyond keeping a sharp lookout on its
movements it made no sign. Shortly a
young fox Joined the old one and al
most Immediately bounded at the cat,
which sprang aside and struck its as
sailant so efticaciously across its face
with its sharp claws that it retired as
quickly as it came. After an interval
the old fox, advancing slowly and
carefully. made its attack, but the re.
suit was the same. The cat, splitting
and kissing, struck out hard, and the
fox retired discounted.
a minute afterward it again sprang
forward, but this time the cat got
much the best of it and was left in
peace.-London Globe.

HIS HAPPY THOUGHT.
Il Let the New Train Dispatcher Off
Without an Accident.

IL Let the New Train Dispatcher Off
Without an Accident.
An operator for western railroad
who had served his company long and
well was called into the office one day
and asked If he thought he could hold
down the job of night dispatcher. He
promptly replied that be could and
was told to report for duty that night.
and his chief instructed him in what
he was to do. Just after the chief left
the office it began to blow and snow,
and the trains commenced to run late.
The new night dispatcher soon had de-
veloped bad case of ''rattleS" and al
most cried. He did not want an acct
dent, and he could not handle the
trains. So a happy thought struck
him. As fast as report came in he
replied, directing the conductor to take
a siding and wait for orders, and it
was not great while until he had
every train on the division sidetracked.
Then he took a book. lighted his pipe
and sat down to.wait for daylight. In
the morning the chief appeared, with
anxiety written all over his face
ANY accidents, JohnnyT' asked the
chief.
Not an accident. I've got 'em all on
the sidetrack, showed in and waiting
for orders, and you will have to get
'em out. 1 am going TO blow this Job"
1t took the chief and his force nearly
all day to get the trains Strengthened
out and traffic resumed on the road.

bune above referred to occurs this
very interesting paragraph:
1.-THE tariff negotiations the state de-
partment has been conducting have
not been carried on simultaneously.
1t has become apparent that if a trade
war is to be averted with Canada, the
French government first must be
forced to give to American imports
the same concessions which have been
given by treaty to Canadian products.
To obtain this result the application
of pressure upon France has become
necessary The way In which this
pressure can be created and exercised
is by inducing Germany to give the
United States equal treatment with
other nations and then to proclaim
that German goods are entitled TO the
benefits of the minimum tariff. AS
large quantities of French products
come into competition with German
products in the American market, It
is evident the latter quickly would
take the field away from French com
petitors paying higher duties. Ger
many thus has become the key to the
tariff situation
ct was with a full realization of this
situation that Secretary Knox first
took up with the German ambassador
the tariff relations between the United
States and the fatherland. The most
important phase OF these negotiations
has related to the removal of the re-
strictions upon American meats"
Mast Make Wishes Known.
This states the case accurately. The
crux of the whole matter is the Ger
man restrictions on our meats. It IS
of the very greatest Importance that
st this time farmers and stOcImen
show that the public sentiment of this
country is in favor of the removal or at
least the abatement OF these restric-
tons If it can be shown that we are
alive to the hurt these restrictions are
doing US, it will greatly strengthen the
hands of the president and secretary
Of state; and what is even more i'm
portant, the German government viii
be much influenced by such an express
sion of public sentiment. AS you
know, the ambassadors and ministers
of European countries at Washington
are expected to keep their govern
ments we'll advised as to public opin-
ion in this country and especially as
it may affect trade relations. The
Gernn kaiser wishes, at the least, TO
abate the restrictions on our meats,
but it must be shown to the German
reichstag that if Germany avoids
trade war with this country the re-
strictions on our meats must be abated.
Therefore, you are most earnestly
to state the foregoing facts
as fully or as briefly as you deem ad-
visable in your columns and-and this
is the important part-ask each of
your subscribers to write the congress
man from his district and the senators
from his state, asking these men to
use their influence with the secretary
of state to secure the removal or at
least the abatement Of the German re-
strictions on our meats, stating that
the writer of the letter understands
that now is a very opportune time to
insist on the removal of these restric-
tons. Also ask your subscribers to

JOHN M. STAHL TELLS WHY
Former President of F. n. @. Urges
Farmers to Make United De-
mand for This.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 15.-Editor The
Argus: In the Chicago Tribune OF
Jan. 2 appeared quite long dispatch
from the Washington correspondent Of
that paper, John CalIan OLoughlin,
who formerly was assistant secretary
of state. This dispatch dealt with the
Impending trade wars between this
country and Canada, Germany and
France. Our trade with Canada dur
ing the LIST fiscal year amounted to
$275,000.000 with France S250,00O, 900
and with Germany $400.O0O,00O. Our
trade with Germany, France and Can
ada is more than onethird of our total
foreign trade. 1t Is a trade partiCu-
larry advantageous to US, since to
these countries our exports exceed our
imports from them. For eXmple, dur
ling the calendar year 1909 our exports
to Canada were $3.50 100000 while our
imports were SSS,000,00O It is also
especially true of our trade with these
countries that the imports from them
ARE very largely of articles which we
lcannot produce or cannot produce to
advantage and our exports to them
are to a large extent of.articles which
I'VE produce in great abundance.
Increase ~ Per Cent.
AS you know, present trade treaties
are of such nature that, unless sO.uo
different arrangements can be made
before March 81 next, under the auto
matte provisions of the Aldrich tariff
law our maximum rates must apply
from that date on imports from Ger
many, France and Canada. making a
horizontal increase of % per cent.
This viii precfpitate a trade war with
these countries. Because of their
treaties with other countries and the
provisions of the AIdrich tariff law,
none of the parties to this war could
iayoid It If they wanted to, provided
conditions are not so changed in the
meantime that the maximum rates of
the A1drich law do not go into effect
against the countries named March 81.
in fact. unless a modus vivendi is ar
ranged the maximum rates will go into
effect against Germany early in Feb
ruary.
(! It will be seen that the pext few
weeks will determine whether we en-

Germany, France and Canada, or
whether we make such arrangements
that our trade with those countries
