London only gained its true position

The first stone bridge there seems to
have been begun In 178; there had
previously been a wooden structure.

Fine words from 4 man who knew
both the internal satisfaction Of tasks

glory ~ high honors won,
When James Gordon Bennett sent
Stanley To Africa 10 tind Livingstone

the young mamie was only tweaty-

the bosom OF the future enlighteaer Of

Neither could prehgure the secreta-

door 10 bring 10 him certificates Of
honorary membership in their ranks.
Ii was To task Bennett sent Stan
ley, not 70 honors
He performed the task. The honor,
came afterward
SO il Is with the man who does
things. great or small. He glories In
the doing. In the accomplishment OF
results When the honors come he &C
cepts them modestly. They spur him
on 10 gre>ter endeavor.
Stanley was sent TO find Livingstone,
He found him. In his book he tells
OF the pathetic meeting In the heart
of the African jungle. There is much
expression of the JOY he felt In the
finding. with no thought OF reward.
When. the work is truly done the re-
ward follows. as the night the day. In
Stanley's case 1t came in the shape of
greater opportunity for exploration in
Africa. He had teiled through jungle
and swamp In leading his nrst great
exploration party. The others brought
him wider fields and won for him the
name OF being the worlds leading ex-
plorer. They took him into associa-
ton with the great OF the earth and
gave him riches, a titled handle for
his name and a seat In parliament
But Ii is nowhere recorded that In
anything else he felt 20 much satisfac-
ton as in the doing Of the first great
task set for him. In bidding goodby
to Mr.. Bennett he had said:
Good night, sir. What Is In the
power of human nature to do I win
do. and on such an errand as 60 upon
God will be with me-"
And God was with him
May we not say. in the words Of
Stanley. that God win be with all OF
us when we set out to End our Living
stones? We shall not need to go TO
Africa; we shall not have to toll
through thousands of miles Of fever
and savage infested territory. unvisit-
ed before by men Of our kind But
we shall have to work, and In the
work we shall find
No honor. no reward. however great.

feel when we can point to our work
and say. ''The task promised to per.
form with all loyalty and honesty to

REPORTS FROM BUSINESS
IN WEST ARE ENCOURAGING

crop seems also assured, though this
crop and corn will be in danger of
early frost for several weeks to come.
There has been some cessation of
activity in the steel trade as we'll as
reduction in prices. The latter,
however, promises to stimulate orders,
which are sure to come with increas-
ing volume as the trade recovery al
ready started makes further progress.
Easier money will also facilitate new
orders. Current railroad earnings
when reported are likely to show sat
isfactory gains. There has been an
unusually heavy grain movement, par
ticularly of wheat, during the last few
weeks, and August returns should
prove more encouraging than those Of
previous months.
Technically the stock market Is in
good condition. While the recent up
ward movement had it's incentive in
the influences noted above, it has been
largely accumulated by the covering
of an important short interest not yet
by any means eliminated. While the
market has shown increasing activity
and some of the advances have been
rather too violent and rapid to last,
still the general undertone is sound
and satisfactory

Business Outlook

The news that the southwest drought has
been broken by copious rains is welcome news to
American business men. Up to the time this
dry spell first began to affect Kansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri, fundamental conditions in the
countrys agriculture had never been better in the
nations history. A large part of big wheat
crop was out of the way and corn was looked to
for bumper yield.
About four or five weeks ago. business and
trade began to respond to the excellent crop out
look. The prices of bonds and securities on the
New York stock exchange, undoubtedly a good
trade barometer began to move upward for the
first time in months. Discounting a return of
prosperity was under way.
The drought has destroyed several hundred
million bushels of corn in the states mentioned
above Present indications, however, point to a
total crop of this staple in of 2,5000O0,00O
bushels which would have been considered a
bumper crop ten years ago. The late rain came
in time to the live stock in the affected
states that their condition is vastly bet
ter than it appeared up to Saturday night.
The chances are that the worst crop news of
the year is safely past and that bad as is the
damage that has been done, it will not interfere
with the industrial and trade improvement that
has set in during the past few weeks.

Disrupted by Its Own Poisons

D. NJ Parry, of Indianapolis, former presi-
dent of the National Association of Manufacture
ers, is quoted saying the present senatorial
investigation and the Muhall testimony seem to
be an attempt to discredit and disrupt that
association.
Mr.. Parry puts the cart before the horse. If
this association is being disrupted-it is thor
oughly discredited-it is because of its past
actions. The investigation going on at Wash
ington has brought out only those things against
the general good of the country that this assecia
ton has been responsible for.
The hiring of legislative bribery agents and
lobbyists, the sending of yellow dog" funds into
congressional districts to be used for favored
candidates or to encompass the defeat of candl-
dates for reelection who while in congress re-
fused to bow low to the golden calf set up by the
association have been enough to discredit the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers in the eyes
of all loyal citizens of the nation.
If the association is being disrupted it is be-
cause it. like so many other organizations in
American business life, has been in reality con-
trolled by vicious minority and used for that
minority's personal ends. The majority of men,
bers of this association probably is composed of
decent and clean minded citizen manufacturers
who would not stoop to bribery or coercion and
properly resent being linked with those who made
such weapons their chief stock in trade.
If this association is disrupted it will be God
send to the nation. 1t has been used for nefar-
ious purposes by as dirty set of Catalines as
ever drew forth the denunciation of a Cicero.
This country's economic and political ills be
directly traced to just such malign influences
have been used by such organizations. If the
association does not die of its exposure, then the
surgeons knife should be requisitioned and rad
ica end made of it, for the good of the rest of the
body polite

Thaw' S Escape

All people will be interested in reading of
Harry Thaws escape from the New York state
asylum for the criminally insane, many will be
amused by it's highly dramatic features, but few
will wish him luck on his daring dash for liberty
While the evidence introduced at Thaw's trial
showed that Stanford White was a thoroughly
bad man and that decent husband would have
had a good excuse for killing him, Thaw's own
life had been such dirty, rotten existence that
he was the last man in the world who had any
right to resent Whites part in Evelyn Nesbit's
life.
