Rise in Bank Rate

London. October f-lndications point to an immediate rise in the Brit ish bank rate to five per cent. The Bank of England today discounted bills at Az and later at ] per cent, while the open market rates rose to 1 1916 per cent. The Turkish invasion of servia was the principal cause of this movement, while the sharp decline in the Paris sterling exchange on London and the anticipated foreign gold de- mand had bad effect on speculative stocks. The tone of the stock ex- change improved and the foreign mar kot was easier.

 President Taft has not proven an ideal Executive. He could not have done so and been loyal to the party he represents. But ne has never for feited the respect, although he has at times awakened and merited. the crit ieism. of the American people. To speak of him as a 'humiiiating char acter" vin not hurt the object of as sailment as much as it hurts, by ex- posture. the assailant.
 The more speeches that are made by Hiram Johnson the more the peo- pie of the United States learn about his size. He is just about the right size to be the candidate for Vice President upon the third-term ticket a vaudeville feature of American pol itics which ought to be under tho direction of B. F. Keith instead of frank Munsey and George Perkins.
