FINANCIAL EXTRAxAGANCE HAS
LED Up TO PERIOD OF READ.
JUSTMENT, CAUSING UNCER-
TAINTY AND SUSPENSE.

State and municipal extravaganza
have long been a topic of consider
alton for financial writer's, and 1t
seem clear from the events of recent
weeks that the limit to which new
financing a be carried on has about
been reached, says the New York
Mining Age, in discussing the finan-
eial conditions of the country. New
York City bonds, while over-sub-
seribed, aroused no enthusiasm, and
the price dropped to par immediate
ly upon the beginning of trading in
them. Other states and cities
throughout the country have found
similar difficulty in financing them
selves, and now the break in Cana
dian Pacific on Monday is ascribed
to fear on the part of London bank
ers that Canadian communities will
make such inroads upon the credit
of the Dominion that Canadian en-
terprlses will suffer severely.
We have for some time pointed
out that investment conditions
among the so-called standard stocks
and bonds were distinctly unsettled.
and We have taken the broad view
point that no one cause Is entirely
responsible for the stagnation in
trading among such securities. but
rather hal the attitude of the public
toward the New York Stock Ex-
change and other similar organizaz
tions is determined by many factors.
most of which are intangible, but
which are so numerous that ii seems
hardly possible that sufficient of
them can be exchanged within the
near future to make any great diff
ference in the situation as a whole.
We have entered into and are still
passing through a period of finan-
cial extravaganza which has affect
ed almost every community and every
industry. Large schemes and enter
prises have been entered upon with
beautiful optimism, but with very lit
tie accounting of the ultimate re-
suit.
One of the surest signs of the
awakening of the public to the fact
that some change must be made is
the treatment which is accorded to
the railroads whereby communities
which at one time strained every
nerve and every resource to attract
railroads TO enter into their domain.

THE PECK

One of the most interesting pro-
ducts of the present sociological up
heaval is the triangular Peck family.
Ii lacked little of being a quadril-
%ateral, for besides Peck and the wife
who divorced him and the wife who
now has legal title to him. there is a
woman whom he did not marry and
who has sued him on a charge of
breach of promise. What could be
more typical of the modern family
than this group of a man, his former
wife, his present wife and the woman
who complains because she did not
become his wife? says the Phila-
delphia Record.
1t was Douglas Jerrold, we believe,
who said that if the Garden of Eden
had existed in modern times the
first couple would haven consisted of
three-he, she and the hired girl.
But now it would take four without
counting the domestie-the man, the
divorced wife, the present wife, and
the plaintiff in breach of promise pro-
ceedings. My past, my future, my
to come" as the too susceptible
youth in Gilbert's comedy of En-
gagged" might have said.
Peck at the present time is of de-
bilitated body and worse mind, and
nothing could be more beautiful than
the arrangement between the two
wives for his care. The first Mrs.
Peck is in much better circumstan-
ces than the second, partly because
she had some resources of her own,
which the other had not, and largely
because Peck a well-to-do when his
first wife divorced him, and was able
to settle with her on a liberal basis.
This OF course, seriously impaired his
ability to provide for his second. A
playwright now deceased, who had
married oftener than he could afford
to, demurred TO paying alimony to
the third woman who divorced him
on the ground that the alimony the
first two were getting left him barely
enough to live on.
But the relatively opulent first
Mrs. Peck shows a kindly disposition
to Peck and the most amicable feel
ings for her She will take
care of Peck. and is confident of her
! ability to restore him to health and
presumably TO the whose turn
came after hers. and she has carried
him off to her summer resort, where
the present and legal Mrs. Peck will
be welcome at any time to visit her
husband and her predecessor.
Only one thing could make this
picture of domestic life more beauti-
full, and that would be the addition
to the Peck family party of the wo-
man who feels aggrieved because
she is not a Peck. She has no SUBJ
stantial ground of complaint and no
reason for suing for damages if Peck
is impeeunious now. She ought rath-
er to be happy at the outcome and
join the two Mrs. Pecks in laudable
efforts to restore Peck to physical and
mental health. The four would have
demonstrated the squaring of the
domestic circle and disclosed to us,
not the family of the present only.
but the family of the future.

STATE WINS IN RATE CASE

ht oldit Vi NtiiinCoOld noU a
substantial victory in the supreme
court Monday, when in the Mime
sofa state rate case, Justice Hughes
for the court, held that the rates
of the Minneapolis and st. Louis
railroad were confiscatory and un-
constitutional, but that the rates of
the Northern Pacific and Great Nor
thern were valid.
The decision was a victory for the
state on the interstate commerce
phases of the controversy and upon
the confiscatory features with the ex-
ception of the portion affecting the
Minneapolis and st. Louis.
The so-ealled state rate" cases
have presented to the supreme court
one of the momentous problems of
the decade.
In general terms this group of
cases called upon the court to de-
eide two questions. noe was whether
the states in passing maximum
freight and two-cent passenger laws
had unduly in%terfered with inter
state commerce laws. The other was
whether those laws confiseated the
property of the railroads by requir-
ing them to transmit business at a
loss.
The group consisted of a. cases.
All arose put of legislation enacted
by state legislatures about 1907, or
just after the federal government had
passed the Hepburn rate law. The
As cases concerned directly the laws
in six states, Missouri. Minnesota,
Kentucky, Oregon. Arkansas and
West Virginia. Similar litigation
arose in Alabama, Iowa. Kansas.
Nebraska. Oklahoma and South Da-
kota. In all, Ii was said that rs
suits in federal courts depended up
on the decision in the as cases be-
fore the supreme court.
The first of the A. cases to reach
the supreme court were the Missouri
rate cases. In Missouri the eighteen
railroads crossing the state attacked,
in separte suits. the validity of state
laws fixing the maximum rate on
freight and limiting passenger fares
to two cents per mile. Judge Nc
Pherson, of the United States Circuit
Court for Western Missouri held that
the rates were confiscatory of the
railroads property and therefore un-
constitutional. but he declined TO
hold that they interfered with inter
state commerce. Both the railroads
and the state appealed TO the SUI
preme court, bringing in all thirty
six Missouri cases. Two cases grow
ing out of the Burlington suit"
were presented TO the court in Octo-
Der, 1910. but they were restored to
the docket for argument with the
Missouri cases in April 1912. The
state protested that Judge Mcpherson
should not have apportioned expens-
es, as between state and interstate
business, on a revenue basis, but
rather on a car-mile, or ton-mile
basis.

Again the legation quarter. the south
ern city, and the winter palace, where
the great empress dowager lived, and
with Yuan Shih-k'ai, the president,
now occupies, are enclosed within
their own piles of masonry. Under
the Manchu regime the entire extent
of the forbidden city and that of the
winter palace were guarded by i'm
perial troops, who refused passage to
all but privileged officials and foreign
diplomatists when they were honored
with audiences at court. As these eX-
tensive palace enclosures lay directly
across the center Of Picking, traffic
was badly impeded and had to make
long detours round them.
But now two main gates have been
cut in the walls of the imperial city,
and the great wide park in front of
the forbidden city, together with the
roadway behind it, which runs along
side the moat, covered with water
lilies al this summer season, have been
opened to traffic. The camel driver
the rickshaw coole, and the foreign
tourist may now pass through these
hitherto reserved places, getting near
to the great dragon poles of marble
and the massive stone lions that stand
beside the front gate of the palace
and anyone may cross the famous
marble bridge over the lake in the
winter palace and get close view OF
the empress dowager's pagoda and the
wonderful cluster of yellow rooted

GRANT BROTHERS
LOST IN A DESERT
Grandsons of Former President
Wander Three Days
Crazed by Thirst.

San Diego, Cal, July 14.-Lost in
the desert between the little towns OF
Mecca and Brawley, Cal, Chaffee
Grant and his younger brother, U. S.
Grant ", tramped for three days on
the verge of death. They were res.
cued by pure chance and the aid of
an old desert Indian, known in the
district as Piute Jake.
At one time during the awful period
Chaffee was so far gone with thirst,
| hunger and exhaustion that his broth
er, himself dazed and almost crazed by
| his experience, fought with the Indian
IN an effort to shoot the helpless man
and 20 put him out of his misery"
The experience began Tuesday of
| last week. The men were carried
| into Brawley On Friday afternoon and
wrd was sent to Mrs. Chaffee Grant
| as soon as Chaffee was out of danger.
Last Thursday Chaffee and L. s.
Grant left Los Angeles over what is
known as the hundred thousand dol,
lar turnpike" leading across the
desert to Brawley. When they passed
the little town of Pain Springs they
noticed that their engine was begin
ming to give trouble. 1t held up for
some time, however, and they passed
Mecca still going fast.
About midway between Mecca and
Brawley, rs or 80 miles away from the
nearest help, the engine went dead
For hours the brothers worked ovel
the balky motor. Then their supply
of drinking water ran out and they
were forced to drink the water in the
radiator of their machine, thus putting
it hopelessly out of commission.
All day Wednesday the pair trampeC
through the binding clouds of dust
taken by storm and when this hat
passed they were hopelessly lost.
On Thursday Chaffee broke dow
completely. His tongue was hangine
out of his mouth, his eyes burned
deep in their sockets, and his limbs
refused to carry him further. U. S
