BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY.

From the Beloit, Wis, Free Press. Sep
TENDER IL, 1912.
Bank deposits are a sure indicator
OF prosperity in city, and on this
point Beloit banks show a steady in
crease and this city on this. score
compares most favorably with the
outside world. Total deposits in the
four banks according to the current
statements aggregate $4.34s, 4,S.46, of
which $2,569,371.14 represent the saw
ings Of the people. Rockford with
three times the population has little
more than double the amount of
money on deposit in her seven banks.
Figuring Beloit's population at $4,000,
which is probably conservative. the
per capita deposits In the banks
amount to $2.41h, which is a pretty
good showing.

Should Not ImperII Prosperity.

From the Buffalo. n. Y. News.
The current number of Dun's Re.
view remarks upon the steady advance
In trade activity, according to reports
from various business centers In all
parts of the country. The advance. II
says, is both in actual volume of bust.
ness and in that confidence which ia
the basis of health in business.
1t Is well to remember these things
when one is considering the outlook.
The situation together with the mag
nihcent crops of the year explain why
business men are less and less inclined
to imperil prosperity by overturning
the government.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Dun's Trade Report Gives Encour-
agement for all Lines Of Business.

From the Freeport. ILL.,, Standard. Sept.
Dun's trade report for the past
week gives encouragement for all
lines of business, crops and manu-
featuring enterprises. In part the
report says
Continuous advance in trade activ-
ity is the tenor Of the reports from
the principal manufacturing and dis
tributing centers last week. The adj
vance is both in actual volume of
transactions and in that confidence
which is the basis of healthy bust
ness.
The big August bank clearings are
a development of present activity and
buoyancy. Clearings in August gain
ed 4.6 per cent. over last year. while
during this week they increased 1915
per cent. over 1911 and 17.6 per cent
over 1910. The evidence of these
clearings is confirmed by the current
railroad gross earnings, which show
a gain Of 6.S per cent. over 1911.

to the greater movements Of trade
and commerce and the bigger de-
mands of new enterprises. The in
creased confidence in the financial
markets is illustrated by the fact
that the August output of new Sc
curities and short-term notes in this
country was $92,O0O,O0O greater than
a year ago. The remarkable consump-
ton Of iron and copper products con-
tinues to the point of actual capacity,
and all the principal industries show
satisfactory activity.

BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN
SCOTLAND.

Governor Wilson is a free
trader and 10 SO recognized by
the rank and file Of bis party.
The truth is emphasixeI q little
by the fact that he buys his
socks in Scotland.
His apparent indifference to
the condition Of American
laborers may be due to his abil-
ity to get along without being
obliged to eat bread In the sweat
of his brow.
He has been extremely fortu-
nate In this respect. His auto
cracy has been deeply tinged
with aristocracy during his en-
tire career as IN educator and
dabbler in literature.
He has neither by personal ex-
perience or observation &C
Quainted himself with the actual
struggles and needs of the ordi-
nary wage Garner.
During the trying times that
this country was under the
blight OF free trade in 1894, '95
and 90, Woodrow Wilson was
enjoying liberal income that
was In no degree affected by the
deplorabie conditions surround
Ing the laborers In this country.
Mr.. Wilson is not to be con-
demned for his good fortune.

disposed to congratulate him,

The appearance of the women
workers In this plant" said a member
Of the committee, was very dis
heartening. They were worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many of these women. SO called,
are only children in age and they have
to lug huge piles Of hemp, weighing
$50 pounds each, across the floor, the
load in some cases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ming room, where women are employ
ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who
would have to receive higher wages,
the chatter of machinery Is so fright
full that voice below shrek cannot
be heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause, and no at
tempt is made to remove tha dust.
which Is kept in constant motion by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This dust is
breathed continuously by the women,
many of whom complain OF chronic
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are so thick upon the clothes Of the
girls that at the noon hour-which in
many cases consists of but few
minutes-and at the close of the days
or nights labor, the girls have to
sweep each other clean with brooms."
II is further stated that the custom
of working the women all night Is

When George w. Perkins was asked
by New York Times reporter for an
explanation Of the conditions In an
establishment OF which he Is one of
the directors, he made, In part, the
following remarkable reply: This
night work has been rendered neces.
sary largely because of the govern
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations. which has
made 1t impossible for managers of
large concerns to know whether they
we're on foot or horseback, whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up with increasing demands or not"

Can Be Affected by Politics.

Henry Clews, the New York finan.
cial expert, says in his weekly letter
that business conditions are good,
especially In the west, but he points
that they may become unsettled by
political developments.
There were good times before the
last Democratic administration, but
they soon became bad times. The
country does not want history to re-
peat itself.

since It's existence and are silent mem

4-BASE CLOUTS
ARE INFREQUENT
Best American League Twill
erS Allow But
Few

1t is hard enough to get base hits
off Walter Johnson and Joe Wood and
almost az impossibility to procue
home runs off them. This last fact
is driven home through inspection OF
the American League four-bagger
records of 1912, such inspection show
ing that each great box man had only
two circuit drives made off his deliv-
cry last season. Harry Lord. OF the
Chicago white Sox, should feel proud
OF himself when he learns that he
was the only American Leage player
TO get homers off these two stas of
the firing line. Lord made his circuit
clout off the Idaho phenom on May
s and touched Smoky Joe for hit for
the grand tour on June 16
Ping BOdie made the other homer
off Johnson and Frank Baker the
other four-bag gger off Wood, the date
on which these historic hits were
manufactured being May and Oc-
tober 3. It will be noted that the two
fOur-ply smashers came in the same
game a game. by the way, in whicn
Johnson was knocked out of the box
Johnson must have had considerable
speed, for prior to the time he was
driven to shelter he smashed some

LYNCH HOLDS
THE NATIONALS
President and Heydler Hold
Their Jobs for Another
Year

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Thomas J.
Lynch was reelected president and
John A. Heydler secretary and treas
urer of the National League at the
meeting of the league yesterday. The
present board of directors was con-
tinued, except that c. J. Sullivan, of
New York, succeeds the late John I.
Brush
The rest was mostly routine. The
reports of President Lynch and OF the
board of directors were approved.
President Lynch, in detailing the Off
cial history of the 1912 season, award
ed the pennant for good behavior dur
ing the playing year to the Philadel-
Dhia team, which had a record of no
suspensions and only one fine.
Other things noted in the report
were that 1900 baseballs were used
i'm the scheduled games; that SS games
were postponeds that there were 140
double-headers and rs games on the
schedule left unplayed. OF the six
protests against the results of games
during the season five were disallOw-
ed Chicago being the successful pro-
testant, having its claim over a game
with Pittsburgh sustained.
RigIer TO Get Money.
President Wiler, of the Philadelphia
Club, cleared up the claim OF Umpire
Rigler for $4,000 for services in sign
ing Pitcher -Rixey, by assuring the
leageu that the sum would be paid.
The league, however, went on record
as opposed to umpires acting as scouts
in the future, declaring such employ
ment to be against the best interests
of the game.
II was decided that i'm drafting play
ers i'm the future the names OF the club
shall be drawn first in accordance with
q rule adopted by the National Com
mission The names OF players have
been drawn first on several occasions,
Il appeared in violation of this rule.
A discussion of telegraph facilities
at the games and other matters rela-
tive to the reports of games resulted
in the naming of Ebbets, Hampstead,
Gaffney and Locke a committee to ar
range these details with the telegraph
companies.
