Statesmen Are Losers.

Washington is playing quite a part in
speculation these days. The market does
not move exactly as the politicians would
stock gambling with their own specially.
1t Is notorious that the politicians in
Washington and In state capitals are poor
spectators. In nine cases out OF ten they
lose money when they sit into the Wall
familiar with. and they almost invariably
misjudge the Importance of legislation
which they are shaping and of investga-
tons which they may inStigate.
Aided and abetted by some misguided
bearish operators in Wall street,
speculative coterie in Washington is said
to have mapped out quite a stock ex-
change campaign based on the investiga-
tons which are being set on foot in the
House of Representatives. 1t Is not the
understanding that the congressman
who are pushing the inquiries are remote
ly connected with any such stock specu-
lating play. but that persons who know
what is going on and are keeping close
touch with the work of the statesmen are
making that the ground work for opera
tons on the exchange,
Thus far the experiment has proved a
dismal failure. Instead Of breaking all
to pieces. the stocks attacked from Wash
ington show exceptional strength in most
cases, and the stockholders resentfully
come to the support of their properties.
Possibly If anything really damaging
should be disclosed in the course of the
investigation the stocks affected might
Is odds on that 1t will be when the bears
are not looking. and that they will be
small gamers. 1t almost always happens
that way.

Causes Insiders Concern.

One feature OF the inquiry which is to
be conducted by the Stanley committee
INTO the steel trust Is giving insiders
something to think about. 1t is that
clause which directs the committee to pry
into the speculative operations Of officials
and directors where such speculations
have any relation to the corporation, and
which may have been against the inter-
ests of stockholders. There have been
several little deals which 1T is claimed

sidering the much greater expert

particularly exciting, and resulted

Help! Robbers Z!

If there is one improvement "
that has struck Oakley in the past
year that the town would be a damd
sight better without, if all patrons
are treated as the Herald, that "im-
provement" was the installation of
the branch of the American express
company here. Several times a
package to the Herald through this
company, containing identically the
same enclosure has cost from 25c to
so more one time than another. The
Western Newspaper Union mana
ger at Salt Lake, in answer to re-
peated complaint from the Herald,
has assured US authoritatively that
the express rate from Salt Lake to
Oakley was a lie per pound. We
have been charged, variously, from
a 1-2 to zoe per pound. This week,
on rush order, we had shipped
from Salt Lake 500 sheets Sx1O 1-2
in. Overland bond, and 500 sheets
6x9 in. Westlake bond. The whole
could not possibly have weighed ten
pounds, but the express charge was
one dollar-ten cents more than the
price of the stock!
Every business house in this town
is probably treated to like extortion,
and the only way to avoid it is to
have future consignments shipped
by freight, until the advent of the
parcels post. Wherever the fault
lies this extortion must be stopped,
and it shall for the Herald, for no
express shall be ordered by the pres
ent management. 1t is freight con-
signment and boost for parcels
