HOW BANKSSTAND
Farmers in Their Relation to
Finance, and Why.
Reason for Spirit of Caution Fol-
lowing Good Crops.
MONEY REALLYTIGHT
Curious Phenomenon in an In
terror Section of State.
LandhOlders Not Slow Taking
Advantage, Says j. N. Dolley.

Just why there is manifest at pres
ent SO great a spirit of financial eau
ton after good crop year on the
whole and with labor well employed
is explained. from the point of view
of Kansas, by Bank Commissioner J.
N Dolley, who cites factors in the
business life of the west. One is the
increasing cautious view taken of the
land speculation of the last two years.
SO long as every month showed an in
crease in realty values and every man
with savings was eager to get into the
game of heaping up riches through
land deals, continuous expansion was
easy.
The farmer saw his land making
him hundreds of dollars every year,
simply through increment of price, and
felt himself rich. He was willing to
spend freely on the basis of his grow
ing wealth and was an important influ-
ence in making trade good. The
money transferred to the west by buy
ers was temporarily filling the banks
deposits accounts and the upshot was
activity in every branch of industry.
But when, last spring, there came a
sudden halt, growing out of over-bor-
rowing, and when the banks and loan
agencies began to refuse to finance
land deals, there was an Immediate ef-
feet on the condition of public senti-
ment regarding the possibilities of buy
lIS every the 1Iu1VlCud1 IdHC10Q.
Banks in interior Kansas are charg-
ing 8 per cent and as high as 10 per
cent on short loans and banks owned
by farmers are as quick to take ad-
vantage of the higher rates as any.
The closeness of the money market is
likely to continue for many months to
come, for the demand increases in the
early winter.
Merchants are preparing for the
usual trade in this direction, counting g
on the generous income from the
farms. While there is a falling market
for products, material effect upon
the money conditions can be scarcely
expected. The farmers are needing a
great deal of ready cash and are using
it. Some of the early summer predic-
tions of easier money in autumn have
failed and there is little possibility OF
such a change.
That the farmer is not slow to take
| advantage of close money market is
seen in the public sale announcements
| that are advertised as part of the
usual fall "housecleaning' that takes
place throughout this section. While
and household goods to move away,

MULES ARE READY.
Question Is VIII Champ Clark Carry
Out Promise.

Washington, Nov. 11.-WilI Repre-
sentative Champ Clark of Missouri
keep his promise, made year ago, to
drive a span of Missouri mules down
Pennsylvania avenue if he is elected to
the Speakership?
All Washington is asking this ques-
ton. Now that a Democratic house is
about to be a reality and Mr.. Clark s
elevation to the speakers chair is
practically assured, the people are
wondering if the big Missourian was
treating the matter as a joke when he
pledged himself to drive the mules. At
any rate, the District of Columbia De-
mocracy, of which Colonel J. Fred
Kelley is the head, is formulating
plans for the occasion. It probably
will be arranged for Mr.. Clark to head
a procession of jubilant Democrats
carrying banners and other emblems
of victory, and at night a torchlight
procession will be held.
Representative Clark has an admir-
er in his district-a Republican, by
the way-who, according to Mr.. Clark,
raises the finest mules in the country.
This man last winter informed the rep
resentative that span of mules, the
pick of his farm, was awaiting him in
the event he reached the speakership
and provided he would agree to drive
them down Pennsylvania avenue. Mr..
Clark promised.

a former president and hobnobbing
with potentates, fanc1ed that it was to
him and not to his nation that obeis-
ance was paid and came back with the
megalomaniac notion that he was great
er than his country"
The Times views it this way: "Seized
by the heels in its very cradle, the
new nationalism' has been pitched
into it's grave. Theodore Roosevelt
has been somewhat loudly adm onished
that, whether now or in 1912, his own
state and other eastern states nave as
little use for him as for his doctrines,
and the Republican party has been
put on notice that the people never
for one moment mistook a broken
pledge for a downward revision"
The New York Sun has this to say
of Mr.. Roosevelt: Colonel Roosevelt's
strenuous effort to elect Mr.. Stimson
enhanced the suspicion aroused by
his silence on the great question of
the moment. His wild denunciation
of all who asked for some token of his
only increased the fears of
honest men,"
The New York Evening Posts COM
ment: Even Charles GriIk. for whom
the cincher of crooks spoke in Iowa,
has gone down to defeat. What a pity
the colonel could not have been in
duced to make one speech in Penn
for Tener."

ALL QUIET AT MEXICO
Repressive Measures Adopted by the
Government Are Effective.

The City of Mexico, Nov. 11.-Re-
pressive measures adopted by the
Mexican authorities prevented a repe-
tition of riotous scenes in this city and
resulted in a day of comparative tram
quillity. An attempt by the demon
strators to gather in the neighborhood
of the new National theater was dis
couraged by the mounted police, who
kept the crowds moving.
The foreign Office has assured AM
bassador Wilson that there will be no
repetition of the rioting. Strict orders
have been given the police. Minister
have been given the police, Minister
measures if necessary, gatherings of
any description in the streets.
Visits were exchanged between Min
lister Creel and the American ambassa-
dor during the day, and verbal reply
was given by the former to Mr.. Will
sons urgent message concerning the
insult to the United States flag and to
American citizens. What the nature
of the reply was, Mr.. Wilson declined
to saw but intimated that the reply,
when put into writing, and formally
transmitted, would show a proper atti-
tude on the part OF the Mexican gov
ernment.
Assurances also were given that sew
eral newspapers whose utterances have
incited the demonstrations which de-
veloped into riots will be suppressed.
One of the latter. Ell Pals, printed a
suggestion for a boycott throughout
the republic.
Another, Ell Diardo Del Hogar, pub
lished a cartoon depicting the Mexican
people clubbing Uncle Sam, while in
the background was pictured the
burning of Rodriguez at Rock Springs,
Tex. These papers are Of limited cir
culation and ordinarily WELD but small
influence.
Ambassador Wilson was cengratu-
lated warmly by business men and
others of the American colony person
ally and by letter for the aggressive
stand he has taken in the crisis.
Reports which have reached the City
of Mexico from the United States that
an attempt has been made upon the
life of the ambassador were without
any foundation In fact.
Fears that with. the coming of dark
ness violence would break out anew
proved to be groundless. The presence
of numerous squads of mounted police
with carbines slung across their backs.
who patrolled the business streets until
llate into the night. prevented anything

HER NOSE SHOT OFF.
Woman in way of Bullets in Fight
With Burglars.

Chicago, Nov 11.-Four persons
were shot, two of them probably fatal
ly in an attempt early today to rob the
saloon of Louis Belmont, in the town
of Cicero, near here. Three bandits
made the attempt at robbery, and
when the saloon keeper fired upon
them a revolver battle began. One of
the burglars was shot through the
head and is not expected to recover.
Policeman John Kane. who ran to
the aid of Belmont, was shot through
the body five times and will probably
die. Miss Millie Collier, a waitress, was
hit by a bullet while in an adjoining
room. Her nose was shot off. Belmont
was hit by two bullets. but his wounds
are not fatal.
Fred Cobb, patron of the place. was
hit by three bullets but his injuries are
not fatal.
Belmont was closing his place for the
night when the bandits entered with
drawn revolvers and demanded the con-
tents of the cash register. Belmont op-
ened the register, at the same time seiz-
ing his revolver. AS he whirled and
opened fire, Cobb, the patron, also
drew a pistol and began to shoot.
Before the robbers got out of the
building, Cobb had been shot down, the
waitress was wounded and Belmont was
hit twice. Policeman Kane took up the
firing outside, being only a short dis
tance from the fleeing trio. They con-
centrated their fire uDon him and when
two of them got away in the darkness,
Kane lay mortally wounded, a few feet
from where Belmont had fallen, and
one of the burglars was lying shot
through the head.
1t is stated that neither Kane, nor
the bandit. who had not been identified
can live.

END OF STRIKE NEAR.
Agreement Only Lacks the Sanction
of New jersey Men.

New York. Nov. 11.-Favorab1e ac-
ton by the New Jersey section of
striking express company employees on
the settlement agreement was all that
was wanting today to bring the ex-
press strike, which has hampered
business and provoked many disorders
in metropolitan territory for two
weeks, to a definite end. Terms of set
tlement agreed on by representatives
of the strikers and of the companies
were endorsed early today by the
meeting of express company men in
Manhattan, called to consider the
peace compact. The only conditions
were that the strikers on the New
Jersey side of the Hudson river should
endorse the agreement, which they are
expected to do at a meeting to be held
tonight and that the companies con-
strue the terms of the agreement
which the men consider essential with
fairness.
The settlement provides that the
express ompanies take back their
striking employees without discrimi-
nation against men who belong to a
union and that a conference begin at
once between employees and COM
panies looking to an agreement on
wages and hours. The old rates of
nav will prevail until December 1,
when the new terms agreed upon shall
take effect.

Anthony Has 14,405 Majority.

Leavenworth, Nov. 11.-While a
few precincts from different counties
in the First district have not reported
yet on congress, D. r. Anthony's man
ayers figure his majority now at Ia
4O5 This will likely be increased to
about 1t, 600 by the complete returns.
Lawrence, Nov. ia. C. Mitchell
carried the Second district by 3,475
majority, over three thousand more
than Scott had two years ago Speak
ing today of the election, the new con-
gressman said: 81 am very much
pleased with the big vote I received in
this district. 1 figure my majority at
about thirty-four or thirty-five hum
dred. This is an increase of the Re-
publican majority for congressman of
one thousand to twelve hundred over
two years ago, and make the Second
district safely Republican. Wyandotte
is put back in the Republican column
electing nearly all of the county ticket
by majorities ranging from three hun
dred to seven hundred.
1.-THE loss of the Republican party
throughout the country, comes as a
protest against the failure to perform
platform pledges. We had notice of
this in the special congressional cleo
tions in Massachusetts and New York
a year ago, but the reactionary ele-
ment in the party refused to open its
eyes to this condition.
There is no one who wants to in
jure the business of the country, but
there is a we'll defined feeling that the
big business interests of the country,
have been getting more than their
share of it's prosperity. 1t is right
that capital should have good profits
upon all investments, but it is not
right that it should have all of the
profits or unreasonable profits. The
people of Kansas believe in the prin-
ciple of protection, but believe that a
protective tariff rate should be made
to measure the difference between the
cost of production at home and
abroad, with a reasonable profit to
the manufacturer, and it is because
manufacturers have demanded more
than a reasonable profit that the
people in states like Massachusetts
and Ohio are sending tariff for reve-
nua Democrats to congress-"

TEXAS INVESTIGATES
Authorities Are Looking INTO the
Lynching of Rodriguez.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Complying
with a request made by Secretary Of
State Knox an inquiry has been insti-
tuted by Governor Campbell of Texas
into the lynching Of Antonio Rodriguez
at Rock Springs on November 8.
Word - this effect was received at
the state department today and until
the result. of the inquiry is learned
definite reply will not be given to the
request of the Mexican government
made by Ambassador De La Barra
that official explanation be made of
the incident.
1t is believed here that the Mexican
government will be content with this
course and will do its utmost to pre-
vent further hostile demonstration
against Americans at Mexico City.
F1fty-one men are now in Jail IN
Mexico City for participating in the
riots there according to advices to the
state department today from United
States Ambassador H. L. Wilson. The
ambassador says the streets are being
patrolled and he does not expect any
further acts Of violence. The Mexican
authorities have furnished ample pro-
lection for the American embassy.
Stone the Consulate.
San Antonio, Nov. 11.-A dispatch
from Eagle Pass, Texas, says that
rioting by Mexicans took place across
the river at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz.
The residences of several Ameri-
cans were stoned, the dispatch states,
including that of U. S. Consul Luther
Ellsworth. No one was injured.

BITTER TOWARD 7. R.
New York Papers Blame the ex.
President.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE New York
newspapers, with significant unanimity,
thank and blame Mr.. Roosevelt for the
election results.
The Evening World says:
1.-The impulse that moved so nany
voters to cast their ballots yesterday in
big majorities for Democratic candi-
dates had its origin in the very heart
of the people. 1t was not a party vic
tory. 1t was a popular victory. It was
a protest against all that is involved
in the meaning of Rooseveltism. It
was a reassertion of the aspirations of
genuine Democracy.
The innermost significance of the
vote must not be overlooked by either
the victors or the defeated.
THE vote also means the remova
from our politics of the menace of A
third term of Roosevelt. Unquestion-
ably that danger was the greatest this
generation has been called upont O face.
1t meant more than the mere election
of a president for a third term. It
meant the possibility of the return to
power of a man known to be head
strong, violent, unscrupulous as to
means. regardless of law and hostile to
the courts. The defeat of his efforts to
force his way again to the leadership
of one of the great parties of the coun-
try. is assuredly one of the most graft
tying successes popular government
has ever won."
-
ment: mo election result in many years
has conveyed as clear a lesson. The
American people want peace in busi-
ness. They ask to be let alone as they
pursue the sober duty of making a liv-
ing. They are sick and tired of an ev-
erlasting noise making. and recogniz-
ing in Colonel Roosevelt the chief noise
maker, they fell on him It's all most
simple and understandable"
Here is the Herald's editorial: "The
people have expressed their opinion of
Mr.. Roosevelt, his campaign antics and
his New Nationalism.'
His almost abject pleading that his
own creature be made governor of New
York is answered with the emphatic
election of Mr.. Dix, whom he so shame
fully misrepresented.
What the country shall do with is
former presidents is a question widely
discussed. Referring to this. Mr.
Roosevelt arrogantly declared:
The country need not worry about
what it shall do with this former nrese
ident He shall do for himself That
he has kept his word and done for him.
