WALL STREET HYSTERIA

Recently President Bush Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Rio Grande
FASTENED West after a three days visit
in New York, where, as he stated.
everything was indigo-hue He
hastened to get away and go to the
West. "where the sun is shining" 1t
was good talk that he gave to the
New York papers as he started West,
The conditions that he found in the
great metropolis are certainly a wonder
to the people of this country at large
1t appears that the New York financial
men have been in a condition Of semi
panic, ready to do most any sort OF
foolish thing, without realizing what
they were doing or actually sensing the
effect Of their acts.
So apprehensive did the situation be-
come last week that Secretary McAdoo
assured the street that he was ready
to release the 100000, 900 in emergency
currency which had been prepared by
his predecessor Secretary MacVeagh
upon deposit with him of approved sc.
curities, as contemplated in the Vree-
land law. OF course, there was no
real occasion for the assurance; there
was no occasion for the issua OF this

emergency currency. But, curIously
enough, his announcement seemed to
have magical effect for good upon
Wall street. The hystercal condition
of Wall street, in connection with this
promise of Secretary McAdoo, is very
we'll treated as follows in an editorial
in the New York Tribune;
Wall Street Is easily made happy On
"Wednesday II was in the doldrumS. On
Wednesday night the Secretary Of the
Treasury announced that If IL was needed
s5OO,O0O.000 OF emergency currency was
ready to be issued. Every one knew that
this currency could be Issued if II was
needed, Every one knew that II wasn't
needed. Every one knew that II wouldn I
be Issued. And yet every one. we speak
In the Wall Street sense. was Immediately
and immensely reassured. The rebound
10 confidence was enormous,
The suggestion Is made that the Wilson
administration took Wall Streets furry
over the railroad rate decision, when tina I
decision was imperfectly understood, serl-
ously, and was on the verge OF a panic
Itself. Mr.. McAdoo denies this, saying
that his announcement was purely formal
and made In response to inquiries whose
source was far from New York. Perhaps
Wall Street was not convinced, Perhaps
IL was cheered by what II took to be the
spectacle of the administration fpmblinS
sympatheticelly with It's $500, 600. 900 emer-
gcncy notes at the merest passing signs
OF distress In the market At any rate,
1t was cheered. We all feel much better.

HOW 1T WOULD BE.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat. in a
spasm of confidence and in forget
fulness Of what actual military prepara-
tion means and is designed to effect,
has the following little editorial
rhapsody:
A writer is worried about possible
invasion OF this country by an army of
l50. 900 Where would they get the trans
ports, and what would they do when
%. 100000 men of fighting age rushed
TO give them spank and good duck
ing?
The answer to the question is very
easy. There are abundance of trans
ports to be hired throughout the world
and well-trained army Of 150,.
900 men that might obtain a foot
hold in this country would cut up the
raw 20,oO0,000 men OF fighting age who
might come against them as good,
stout, sharp cutting machine would cut
up green alfalfa that is fed into it.

of Congress will naturally and newt
ably follow whenever they are i'm
properly approached.
That sort of thinr is wholly different
from the efforts Of the sugar men, the
wool men, and the lead and zinc men,
to protect the interests which they have
in their respective employments and
production. The go.between who sim
ply wishes to make money on one side
or the other, or on both, is an entirely
different character from the actual
business or industrial man who speaks
for the interest which he has at stake
in legislation; and this difference is so
radical. 80 important, that it is amazing
that President Wilson and others who
set on foot q search for the lobby
seem unable to comprehend the differ

JUDGE LovETT ON THE LOBBY

Judge Lovett, at the head of the Har
riman railroad lines, makes a valuable
contribution to the quest for the lobby.
He does not furnish any names, to
be sure, but he furnishes a vivid de.
scription Of the means employed by GER
tain applicants whom he denominates
as a "lobby.' He states that every
time proposition is made for com.
pliance with the courts decree for un-
merging the Hartman interests, there
are number Of applications to those
in charge Of the Hartman interests to
the effect that certain things can be
accomplished il certain persons are
brought into employ for the purpose.
Judge Lovett, recognizing fully and
squarely what that sort Of thing means.
declined to have anything TO do with
the "lobbyiyts, who in this case
might better be called blackmailers
That is the true course; it is the course
that hogorable men will necessarily pur-
sue. and it is the course that members

A GOOD ROADS EXPERT

| Matters seem to be shaping distinctly
| towards the submission of the PROPOSE
tion to the taxpayers of this county
of the proposition to issue a million
dollars in bonds for good roads pur-
poses. The Commercial Club made
early approval of this proposition, and
foreseeing the need of expert advice In
the matter, made application on June
9TH to the U. S. Department OF Agri-
culture for the services of good road
expert, in case the taxpayers voted for
the issue of the bonds. That appli-
cation has been favorably received, and
Mr.. Will G. Farrell, secretary of the
club. has received from Mr.. r. V, Ely,
acting secretary of the department, a
letter acceding to the request, and
furnishing an Official form for the ap.
plication.
1t is explained in the letter that the
services that this engineer will render
will consist of making study Of the
roadways TO be improved under the
bond issue scheme; the preparation OF
specifications for their improvement
and the making of preliminary esti-
mates Of their cost under the speciica-
tions, which he will assist in drawing
up. He will devise general scheme
for the improvement of the roads, pre-
liminary to the development of the
details upon which the making Of con-
tracts will depend. The department
pays the salary of this engineer, but
the county must pay the subsistence
and the transportation of the engineer
while he is engaged on this project.
Promise is made that should a formal
application be made, (Which will be
only in case the bonds are authorized,)
it will receive the earliest practicable
consideration by the Office Of Public
Roads.
The wisdom of the application made
by the Commercial Club will be ad-
mitted by all, The need of expert
guidance in the matter of good roads
here is so evident that the public will
concede without question the necessity
of such advice, Great waste has been
made in the past, with no improvement
in the roads. If we are now TO spend
a million dollars for good roads, we
want good roads, and that expenditure
in the making of them shall be under
the most expert and scientific direction
The Commercial Club is doing good
public service in making this timely
move.

What General Pershing is doing in
the Jolo country is disarming the nj
ratical MoroB, who were determined to
keep up their old customs of boloiup
men who were off guard, robbery, and
running amuck. General Pershing got
from the Shiek nj Islam a declaration
that all Mohammedans should give up
such practices, and keep the peace. The
Sultan of Jolo accepted the word of the

his following; they gave up their arms,
but stipulated for protection against

cral Pershing is defeating and disarm.

II the Democrats want to take the

disreputable to pretend that they are
operating under civil service rules and
that those they displace are guilty Of
crime or other wroug-doing as the rea
son why they are displaced. There
has been too much of that wretched
hypocrisy; and the public will be little
inclined to believe the charges against
our consul at Matamoras, which are
