until May 10 to live, as the result of
the eleventh hour action of Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown, in respiting him
until that date. This is the third re-

reprieve granted by Governor Brown
this morning was given at the s0liCita-

a man in his state of health. He wears
a detected look, his eyes are sunken

NEW YoRK's MONEY AGGREGATION.

The publication of striking figures showing hundreds OF
millions of dollars of countrybank money held in New York.
gives misleading impression to people who don't understand
the operations of national and international business, and
who are looking for monster Money trust.
New York is the national clearing house; the interna-
tona business between this country and the rest of
the world The cropmovng leaved New York with
vast credits its books representing Europes price for
ported soil products 1t is mainly money its way home
to the agricultural West and South from foreign parts Like
wise balances paid between all sections of this country
by draft New York. necessatng the maintenance of BAL
there.
All this would account for the of vast balances
at the financial headquarters But in addition there is the
fact that the great liquid securities Of the whole continent
the stocks and bonds that represent railroads. industries
public services and quaspubc services of all Sorts
dealt in in New York 1t the only caloan market in the
country True money is loaned call elsewhere but the
difficulty bankers in other places have is that when they
call their money it doesn't In New York it does and
that is why so much of it is loaned there.
If the railroads. for example had their physical exist
in New York and could be bought and sold in fractional
parts and carried home in market baskets the market for
them would not be completely established there than
is takes the combined credit and wealth Of the country
to maintain and them If people in Nebraska don't buy
railroad shares anything like the extent necessary to
present Nebraska's thousands of miles of roads
and they dc not-then Nebraska must be represented
in some other way in the ownership of these proper
ties Its bank balances in New York. where the railroads
dealt in and where their market place s help furnish the
power that maintains them. Buying and selling securities
that represent the great industrial and transportation
critics is just legitimate business buying and selling
wheat town lots Abuses creep into all these operations
but there could be mschevous mistake than
to that the business essentially vicious Instead
is absolutely necessary Safeguards may need of

that all this sort of business s egtmate and the nature
Of gambling, is hardly less than wicked. .

For almost four years Congress has been ddng away

men the natural of the United States Conserva
ton has been turned from doctrine of efficient into
practice Of coldstorage
The appointment of Ballnger Secretary of the In

work of the previous Administration.
Before Fisher appointed to succeed Balinger Pres
dent Taft had lost control of the House.
Before Fisher had been able to make horseback
survey of his colossal job the Senate in revolt.
As result of that general administrative confusion
there today about 500 900 of public land with
drawn from settlement for purpose another.
Some of has been withdrawn for recassfcaton Some
of it has been withdrawn for efficient, modern legislation
Some of it has been withdrawn until somebody deter
mines what is to be done finally about the utilization of water
power sites.
The vital thing is that immense of the public
domain is being withheld from settlement and development
because the constructive policy inherited from the previous
Administration has been msaid or lost.
Roosevelt and his young men, started that conserva

advantage that theirs in the vast undeeped

But that movement sidetracked just where Roose

Shortly Congress, being very tired, will adjourn.
Shortly President Taft will go cruising to Panama.
Later the President will call Congress together
