Investigating the Money Trust
Committee Small Men

lead to reforms that will materially
remedy the conditions that are caus
ing increasingly greater unrest each
year There is undoubtedly a money
trust. and Wall Street is its instru-
ment. Naturally the stock exchange
comes in here for its share of de-
nunciation. For this instrument OF
high financiering is responsible for
an initiation in the price of commodi
ties that amounts to several hundred
per cent. 1t is no more nor less
than gambling institution compared
with which the Louisiana lottery was
clean and white. The New York
World concisely states the truth
about the Stock Exchange when it
says: There are three monumental
facts relating to the Stock Exchange
that ought not to be fact sixty days
from now. These are, first, it is not
incorporated: second, it is permitted
by law to practice usury; third, it is
the only place in New York where
gambling contracts are enforcible by
law"
If the Investigations will so rouse
the people that they will demand
closing OF the Stock Exchange ex-
ccpt for Legitimate purposes and un-
deI government control it will be
matter OF less importance whether
or not there exists money trust.
II is within the power OF Congress
to abolish the Stock Exchange Just
a, it did the Louisiana lottery.

suggest the personnel OF that board,

Congress is divided on the ques

based on President Taft's announce

States, if it submitted to arbitration,
could properly ask for special tri-
bunal so constituted as to insure us
impartial judgment. Senator Burton
said he did not see how we could
honorably refuse arbitration, such
course being the supreme test OF our
faith in arbitration. Senator Towns

extent of the timber resources in
the Yakima country. Here logs
of mighty proportions lie huddled
together in the pond awaiting the
ouzz Of the saw that will turn them
into building material that will
find its way to all parts of the
United States. The scene is typi-
cal of the great industry that Is
as yet in its infancy throughout
the great states of the Pacific
Northwest. The conservation pol
icy of the government has not
halted the rapid inroads into the
virgin forests of the West, and
vet the amount that has been cut
is as nothing to that which still
remains to claim the axe OF the
woodsman. With the building up
OF the agricultural industries and
the rapid growth OF cities in the
Rocky Mountain section, the de-
mands upon the forests are yearly
ncreasing-demands that are aug
mented by the rapidly disappear
ing of the forests in other parts
of the country. The Middle West
is now almost without a forest,
while the South and East have
taxed their sawmills to the limit
to keep up with the rapid develop
ment in building. Yet the forests
OF the West are scarcely touched.

As the time approaches for the
|opening up Of the Panama Canal the
Question of exemption OF coastwise
Vessels from canal tolls is becoming
[more and more a matter OF agita-
{ton. The British government, rely
ling upon what it considers its treaty
rights, is making a strong protest
against such exemption, and there
are statesmen in this country who
Recognize and support her claim to
hearing in this particular.
In an official letter to this govern
ment by Sir Edward Grey, British
minister of foreign affairs. the posi-
ton OF the English government is
clearly and courteously set forth. The
document is written manifestly in a
friendly spirit, yet contains the en-
tire spirit OF England's objections to
|the Panama Act. Mr.. Grey claims
that the Clayton Bulwer treaty OF
lNoo was an agreement between Great
Britain and. the United States that
neither OF them would independently
ocid or operate the Panama Canal
mat Great Britain agreed to the sub
stifutlon OF the Hay Pauncefote treaty
TOT the Clayton Bulwer treaty on the
instinct understanding that the ships
u all nations, including the United
states. should be treated on equal
terms; that the exemption Of Ameri-
Gan coastwise vessels from tolls is
not treating all nations on equal
.efms' because it makes other ma
uohs pay more than their share OF
"e expense of operating the canal,
ana because he fears that under the
sa'se OF coastwise traffic the United
states ship owners will endeavor to
garry on foreign commerce. If the
congress OF the United States de

\ smile of cynicism has come from
England over the statement OF Mr..
Morgan. one broker high in the
financial affairs OF London states
that he likes to see a man show that
hi has the means and the ability to
carry out his schemes before he loans
him money. He voices the sentiment
among bankers on the other side OF
the water to the effect that a mans
personal character will not go far
toward the securing OF money unless
he can show something else besides.
This statement was evinced by the
testimony OF Mr. Morgan that he
had once loaned a penniless man
81 .O0O.O 900 because he believed in his
personal integrity. While it is un-
doubtedly true that the moral risk
is taken into consideration in the
making OF loans. the public in gen
eral we'll knows that many an honest
man has gone to the wall because he
did not have the good fortune TO
possess real estate, goods or chattels
to put up as security for the money
he needed to tide him over period

Professor HIaines painted his wonder

the best scientific talent they can
find. The chemical laboratory ha ,
heretofore been the agent of peace
officers in detecting the manner OF
mans death. But here comes a
death that leaves no trace whatever.
Men pass away in mortal agony. and
the explanation of the cause is in no
way determinable. Men die in the
family home surrounded by the house
hold. and the word goes out that
death resulted from natural causes.
The patient had contracted typhoid
from drinking impure water. and the
order of the health department goes
out that the wells OF the city must
be cleaned and the city water be
subjected to a scientific test to deter
mine the origin OF the trouble. But
the other members OF the family be
gin to drop off from the same dis
ease and at last it becomes apparent
that the estate is to be settled upon
the only surviving heir. Typhoid
fever was the cause OF death.
Men are stealing the typhoid germ;
men are buying the typhoid germ;
men are using the typhoid germ to
accomplish their ends. Why? Be-
cause it leaves no trace behind it.

GIVES LECTURE ON
TYPHOID PREVENTION
DR.. Samuel G. Paul, City Health Com
missioner, Advises Vaccination in
Talk to Sunday School

Typhoid fever and Its Prevention"
was the subject Of an interesting talk
given by DR.. Samuel G. Paul before the
parents class OF the Ninth ward Sunday
school yesterday forenoon, DIR. Paul con-
tended that typhoid fever was a prevent
able disease and he gave some valuable
advice as to how to prevent 1t.
Lack of sewer service was given as
the principal cause OF typhoid In the
southeastern part OF the city and DR.. Paul
urged the residents there to begin imme-
dlately in their efforts to have a sewer
system Installed there. 1t would, he ex-
planned. be expensive, as it will require
main sewer line, but Il should be In
stalled even though other Improvements
would have to be neglected.
Dr.. Paul also recommended VaccIna-
tion for typhoid prevention, saying that
It had proven beneficial In the United
States army and there was no danger In
its use, The army. he said was the only
place where accurate data had been gath
cred in regard to this method OF vacol-
nation and It's success,
Ways In which the fever may be ira MS
mitted were described as were also the
best methods to guard against them. The
speaker declared that there was no dis
ease in which there was q greater neces-
sity for thorough and careful sanitary
management in order to prevent the
transmission Of Infection to others.
