CUISINES oUTrooK FINE.

That conditions are developing and
already in existence in this country
which augur for a return of a general
activity and prosperity in the marts
of trade and finance is the opinion of
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
as expressed in his weekly financial
review. Taking the country as a whole,
the crop conditions, the most impor-
tant factor in the prosperity of the ma
ton, are all that could be desired,
says Mr.. Clews. There have been some
discouraging reports from several sec
tons of damage to crops by drouth
and heat, but these conditions are
local. not general. And as Mr.. Clews
points out: Damage reports, so far
as our newspapers are concerned. are
news" but ideal conditions covering
many millions of acres are merely
commonplace and attract no special
attention.
Next in Importance to the crop sit
uation as stimulating influence. says
Mr.. CleWs, may be mentioned the
continued abundance of money and the
promise that months viii elapse before
the demand for funds will affect the
situation adversely. Tariff l. legislation, 1t
now seems certain, will not be radical.
and manufacturers by their increased
activities are already beginning to
evince signs of relief. This is espe-
cially true in the great iron and steel
industry. and in textile circles there is
also a better undertone apparent It
will not take long for this potential
Improvement to spread to distributing
circles. We have been going through
a prolonged period of necessary mer-
camille and Industrial contractions that
has so reduced supplies in consumers
hands that when business does begin
to pick up the movement can hardly
fail to at once assume active momen-
tum. Railroads. for instance, have
been forced to pursue a most conserva-
tive policy in purchasing supplies for
upkeep and repairs and have practical
ly done nothing in the way of new ex-
pansion. This was largely the result
Of their inability to secure capital on
terms their managers believed to be
desirable. There has. however, re-
Gently been a marked improvement in
the investment demand for new Sc
curities. Our railroads are again able
to secure the new capital they require
on sufficiently favorable terms to jus
tify them in proceeding on normal
lines. and their purchases of steel rails
and construction material generally
promise in the near future to become
a distinct stimulus in the great metal
industry,
Even should the annual demand for
funds to move the crops prove a tax
on the present volume of our banking
resources the money situation is stu
protected by the balances that are now
available abroad, but which have not
yet assumed the form Of gold imports
because of the abundance of unem-
ployed money here at home"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-06-20

No one will attempt to deny that the
expense Of preserving peace among
nations through the maintenance of a
superior naval force is of tremendous
proportions. The United States is now
spending 800, 100000 and more each
year for it's naval purposes. Several
other frst-class powers are spending
equally large sums. This makes the
total naval bill of the world run up
into millions and millions, hundreds of
them. But so accustomed have the peo-
pie become in these modern days Of
million and billion dollar corporations,
Of million and bi1lionaires. of the ne
cessity of millions for this enterprise
and a half billion for that, as the cost
of the Panama canal for instance, that
not many of them actually realize what
gigantic sums Of money are represent
ed in the millions that are going for
this and that and the one hundred
millions that go for United States ma
val purposes each year.
Perhaps the cost of maintaining a
modern navy can best be appreciated
by Analysing one Of its fncidentaIs. Just
now considerable attention is being de-
voted to the new 14-inch rifle which
congress has authorized for the main
batteries Of the battleships, New York
and Texas, now being built at New
York and Norfolk. This rifle is So feet
and inches long, and it's weight Is a
little over IS tons. Each of these new

RECKLESS MOTORING.

Much complaint is heard from To-
pekans because of the recklessness of
a few automobile drivers in using the
city streets for speedways, and show
ing little care in many other particu-
lars in the operation of their machines.
But these offending motorists arc
actually careful in the city to what
they are on the roads outside the city
limits and also on the streets of subur-
ban localities as well as the small
neighboring towns. It is no unusual
thing for Topeka automobilists to rush
through the streets Of these little
places at the speed capacity of their
machines, and without footing their
horns or giving any other notice of
their coming.
Such kind OF motoring is even more
dangerous in these places than it is on
the Topeka streets. The people and
the little children in these localities
are not as accustomed to the passing
of automobiles as are those in the city
proper. Children use the roads for
Fairgrounds. And that some of them
have not been crushed and mangIed to
death by recklessly driven cars is lit
tie short of miraculous.
1t may be all right for Automobiles.
when they are out in the country. to
indulge in a little speed on good roads
where there is a long straight-a-way
and when they can readily see if there
is any traffic to sreak of ahead of
them. But it is merely criminal for
them to indulge in speeding when they
travel along the streets of the many
small towns on the outskirts of Topeka,
or any other place, and especially
after dark as many of them do. Most
of these localities are without adequate
police protection for offenses of this
kind. But so wrought up are the resi-
dents of many of these places against
the dangers that they and their fam
lies are placed in by such thoughtless
that it would not be sur
prising if some of them took the law
into their own hands whenever an oc-
casiOn presents itself
