The CROP OUTLOOK.

Henry Clews, the New York finan'
cier, in his weekly review, says that
in financial circles it has again been
demonstrated how highly sensitive to
crop news is the market for securities
at this season of the year. The July
report of the department of agricul-
ture, published on Monday, was super
ficially, at least. disappointing. At
first it exercised depressing influ-
ence on the stock exchange price lev
ell, and later the situation became one
of extreme dullness. 1t is significant,
however, that some degree of recoy-
cry in quotations ensued and that
there was no evidence of the pressure
/ of general liquidation. A fair interpre-
tation of these developments is that
! operators are disposed to await more
mature development of the crops, but
are not as rule disposed to sell out
/ their securities.
The Importance of the crop factor
in the market justifies at this time q
calm examination of the agricultural
situation. It is desirable to bear III
mind that the governments presenta

INsuRGlne AGAINST INSURGENCY

INSURGiNG AGAINST INSURGENCY
The Waterloo Courier, which has
been the beacon light of militant in
surgency in that part OF the state,
can not follow the insurgents who are
planning an attack on President TAFT
1t says that La Toilette is impossible,
that he could not command much more
than corporal's guard. Cummlns
could do no better than La Toilette,
If as we'll, says the paper. This IS It's
conclusion of the whole matter:
"The fight of the insurgents against
Taft Is absolutely hopeless. This po-
ilitical aggregation, when it had the
thunder of righteousness in its poll
cies, commanded the admiration and
hearty support of the great masses OF
people. The insurgents knew it and
they reeled with the intoxication OF
success. But the people were not ID
love with them personally. They
cared only for the declared principles
of progressivism. Heroes are wor
shipped while they are heroes, but
when they become fools they are the
plainest kind of fools. The people
cheered the insurgents when they
stood for principles. When they FOR
get the principles and go after the
pelf they are just as ornery as the
regulation brand of politicians.
GAS for the Courier, 1t stands where
it has stood right along, for prln
4 ciples, not men; for character, no
l'critters.' 1t washes it's hands o.
any rotten mess that any politician
may get into at Washington, but viii

of opportunities and privileges TO

But spinachat with me-"

So go, sir, if you pleased"

FIGURING EXPRESS RATES

An interesting contention is about

ing reduction in express rates. The
San Francisco theory of the express
business is that the chief service per-
formed by the companies is the col
lection of express at one end of the
route and its delivery by wagon or
messenger at the other end.
The hauling charges for transport
ing the express package from station
to station, according to the San Fran
cisco contention, should be simply
that paid by the express companies
to the railroads for the services rem
dered AS an illustration, package
sent from Chicago to New Orleans
might be taxed $40 express charges,
while package carried from Chicago
to Aurora or Joliet might be taxed
fifty cents. The work of taking the
package from the Office of the shin
per to the express car and delivering
it from the express depot to the ad
dresses would be identical in the case
of the New Orleans, and Joliet ship
ments; practically, the service rem
dered by the express company would
amount to no more in the long hau
than on the short one. The railroad

companies for SIS, there is no reason

Always Room for Good Men.


Col. Henry Watterson says that
when he applied for his first employ
ment on newspaper he was told:
There are never any vacancies on
a good paper, but there is always
room for good man.
Colonel Watterson says he thought
the reply SO good and true that after
becoming an editor himself he said
the same thing to many applicants.
1t is true in all kinds of business.
The whole world is full of good
places for good men.
There Is hardly a big business con.
