AN ABSURD INVESTIGATION.

Some of our statesmen appear TO be
absolutely mad upon the question OF
investi legations. One of the most ridicu-
lous propositions for investigation was
that in Congress when Secretary Nc
Adoo charged the banks Of New York
with being in q conspiracy to decrease
the value Of their own assets, particu-
larly the value of tho 2-per-cent bonds
The idea of investigating thing like
that, however at once was seen to be
absurd on the face of it; and the move
was dropped. But now an tnvestiga
tion is proposed bp Representative
George Kindel Of the Denver district in
Colorado Of the settlement arrived at
by the courts in dissolving the Harri-
man merger. 1t is impossible to see
how Congress has any sort OF control
over the procedure Of the Federal courts
in the matter of a decree rendered or in
approval Of settlement made under
that decree. The whole matter WAS de-
termined by the courts on due hearing.
Judgment was rendered that the Harri-
after number Of experimental propo-
sitions had been made and rejected, the
final settlement was approved and de-
cree entered accordingly.
But Representative Kindel has heard
that on the day Of the final hearing of
this case at St Paul in June last, At
torney General McReynolds dined at a
club with the judges and tho counsel
for the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and those for the banking firm
which has long been concerned in Pa
cific railway financeering. The invi-
tation to this dinner was given by the
presiding judge of the court. Accord
ing TO Representative Kindel's under
standing, there was something sinister
about this, and he wants to find out
where the black spot is located.
Attorney General McReynolds ad
mits the dinner, and also that there
was q consultation thereafter, which
resulted in the plan of unmerging which
was finally approved by the court.
There was, of course, no secrecy about
this, save only that the parties to the
consultation were in a room by them
selves. Everything done, however, was
publicly reported and was published in
tho papers at the time McReynolds
states further that there is nothing to
conceal in the matter, and that such
consultation between Judges and coun.
sci are not at all unusual in such final
procedure
Representative Kindel must be of a
very suspicious turn of mind. He
"smells rat and wants TO nip it in the
bud In order, however, TO get ac-
tion, he has to assume something dis
reputable, and to connect the Federal
Court for the Eighth judicial Circuit,
the Attorney General, and counsel con
cerned in the suit, with that disreputa-
bic suspicion which he harbors. It is
a case Of frenzied investigation. Of un-
worthy ferreting, and Of an attack
which has no merit; for the determine

The commercial agencies Of the coun.
try at large report that strong evi-
dences of reviving commercial and in.
dustrial activities are multiplying, and
business optimism is spreading The
spirit Of confidence is increas-
ing, and meets a general an
ticipation Of future activities in
many lines; and since merchan-
disc stocks at all the leading points are
in need of repenisbing, prospects are
encouraging for o satisfactory fall and
winter season.
There is less evidence Of the destruc.
tive effect of the tariff legislation, and
expansion of trade is facilitated by the
improved monetary situation.
Conditions in the iron and steel mar.
kets have been better than was e1-
pected during the month.

continue gratifying. The conservative
buying continues, however as a reflex

are insisting upon higher prices.
There are few dissenting notes as

advices as to low stocks are well nigh
unanimous.
The improved financial situation is
gratifying. The most discouraging corn
report that has been received is from
Kansas, where the crop is reported to

crop is SO much in excess Of the aver

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week has been enlivened won
derfully by tho great carnival OF the
''Wizard Of tho Wusatch. - and the i'm
mense throngs in the city which stim-
ulated trade in quito satisfactory de-
gree, The displays were eminently
worth seeing, satisfying well the i'm
mense crowds before whom they were
displayed.
General trade in the city has been
good during the week, the bank clear
ances showing a gain of l0.3 per cent,
as compared with the corresponding
week Of last year. AS heretofore, an
unusual amount of this trade has been
cash trade.
The realty market has held Arm dur
ing the week with fair sales.
The building activities are being
pushed with due vigor. The Capitol,
tho University Administration build
ing and the East Side High school all
are centers Of active industry. The
University Administration building
shows up beautifully from the Second
South street corner of Main street.
The construction of dwellings is
being pushed throughout the city,
and the building record for the season
will be very high.
The work Of railroad improvement is
going on well and according to pro-
gramme on the Rio Grande and the
Oregon Short Line, and the season will
show good progress on the work on
these lines. During the week the be-
ginning of the laying of track on the
Denver & Salt Lake route westward
from Steamboat Springs, the present
terminus, was announced. The word
that active work will be pushed on this
road until it reaches this city is most
welcome.
The fruits OF the year are coming
strongly into the market and supplies
are abundant. The Utah Fruitgrow-
ers' Association is finding better and
more profitable markets this year than
ever before, by reason Of cooperation
and expert business handling.

Consolidated schools.

Abolishing the crossroads one
room school and Bhshing con
solidated or centralized schools is
advocated in bulletin Just issued
by the United States Bureau of Ed
ucation. The bureau recommends
this wherever it can be done without
90 great expense and without break
ing up or disintegrating existing
communities. The bulletin is an ed
ucational survey of Montgomery
county, Maryland, where conditions
are fairly typical of the rural school
problem in general. 1t is hoped that
by close view of one rural district,
rural communities may be encour-
aged to investigate their school sys-
TENS and make them more efficient.
That sentiment in the country
districts is not everywhere ready for
the consolidated school idea is freely
admitted by the authors of the bulle-
tin. In Montgomery county ma
jority OF the school patrons ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to the
idea. They realized fully the de-
ficiencies of their rural schools, but
they were not yet willing. to accept
consolidation as the remedy. The
writer's of the bulletin endeavor to
show that most of the defects COM
planned of by the school patrons
poor teaching, low salaries, lack OF
thoroughness in the common
branches, few special subjects, work
not advanced enough-are inherent
in system of one-room schools, and
that the way to remedy the situation
is to have fewer and better schools,
with transportation furnished to pu-
pills living at distance.
1t is pointed out that the rural
school conditions found in this'
county are Dy no means
peculiar to It, but are typical o!
what is still found in country dis
tricts elsewhere. In several respects
county is superior TO
other rural localities in its educa-
tlonal facilities. 1t has, for in
stance, a school year of $50 days, as
to terms az low as forty
days in parts OF some states; and
like every other Maryland county,
it has county supervision of schools,
which educators consider the most
effective means Of building up rural
To make the one-room rural
school as efficient as possible, but to
do away with them by consolidation
wherever practicable, is the motto
the rural school empowers have
adopted. Constant Improvement is
in the facilities offered by
the one-room rural scnooi, particul-
larly in relating school work to farm
needs, but side by side with this i'm
provement has gone the movement
for consolidation, until there are
now several thousand consolidated
schools in the United States.
