REVIEWS THE PRESENT
FINANCIAL CONDITION
BY Charles p. Bond of the Banking
House Of Turner, Tucker Il Co.,
Inc, Boston, Mass.

Inc, Boston, Mass.
The current month is made memora.
BILE by the inauguration Of Democrat
ic national administration. For the |
first time in nearly twenty years a
Democratic president has been placed |
in power. The control of the federal !
legislative machinery has also passed |
to the same party. New men and new
policies are in the foreground Busi-
ness and financial circles are awaiting |
with keen interest-an interest that Is
tinged with more or less apprehension
the definite development of the ad-
ministratlons proposed dine Of action.
They know that vital problems are de-
manding speedy and right solutions,
They are discussing the possibilities Of
the future with an intense earnestness.
They are mostly inclined to believe
that the end Of the long period Of read
justment is at hand. They refuse to
endorse the theory that change in ad-
ministration necessarily means busi-
ness unrest and unsettement. On the
contrary, they are generally accepting
| 1t complaCently, convinced that the
new political leadership will be con-
servative and safe. This expectation
has been encouraged by the continued
maintenance Of general business
through the recent period Of political
unrest. All the possible i'll effects Of
change in administrative policies
have apparently been discounted.
While there may be some uncertainty
until matters are definitely lined up,
there is little likelihood that it will be
serious or long continued.
! Fundamentals Are Sound.
Conditions at present are radically
different from and decidedly more fa-
vorable than, those ruling when the
last Democratic administration as
sumed the direction Of national affairs.
The courtrys business and financial
fundamentals are thoroughly sound,
There has been no recent unhealthy
expansion, nor are credits unduly eX-
tended. Stocks of merchandise are
unusually low. The bountiful crops
Of last fall have added enormously to
the buying power. Liquidation Of Sc
curities has been had on an extensive
scale, Market prices are, for the most
part, close to intrinsic values. Conser-
vative investors, approaching the new
opportunities, are showing an increas-
ing disposition to make commitments.
The only unsettlement now in evil
dence is confined to the speculative
situation. Even this is due more to
outside influences - chiefly foreign
troubles-than to fear of the effects Of
a change in administrative policies 1t
is, of course, probable that, pending
the settlement of the tariff question:
business development will be tempor-
arily curbed. A period of great indus
trial prosperity, regardless Of political
and legal discussions, is however, we
believe, very likely to succeed its ad-
justment.

BREACH Of PROMISE
VERDICT REVERSED
Miss Mary Nolan, Warren County
School Teacher, Loses $4,000
Judgment.

Des Moines, Sept. 26.-Miss Mary
Nolan, a Warren county school
teacher, will have to win again in
the district court and then in the
supreme court before she can get
damages from William H. Glynn for
alleged breach of promise.
A year ago she got an $4,000 ver-
dict in the district court but the SUI
preme court yesterday reversed the
lower court. Errors in instruction
and failure to admit proper testi-
mony were responsible for the re-
versal.
Miss Nolan and Glynn, cashier of
bank at Cumming, kept company
for eight years. Three years after
they became acquainted Glynn pro-
posed marriage, according to the tes-
timony. Under promise Of marri-
age he had improper relations with
Miss Nolan and caused a serious op-
Grafton TO be performed, according
to the woman's claims.

Wilson
PARD0NS ISAACS
Frees Forest City Banker, Under
Sentence.

Washington, D. c., Sept. &c.
President Wilson yesterday pardon
ed Charles A. Isaacs, sentenced at
Fort Dodge, Ia, June 20 last to five
years in the penitentiary for making
false entries in the books of the
Forest City, Ia, National bank, of
which he was cashier.
Strict compliance with the law by
Isaacs, it is declared, would have
wrecked the bank by divulging its
condition to the public, whereas the
false entries, covering up excessive
loans to a stakeholder of the insti-
tuition until he could realize on farm
land transactions, resulted in no
loss.S 1t was represented to the pres
ident that Isaacs acted under the
of a superior officer.
Sentence had been suspended
pending the presidents action on
the recommendation of the trial
judge and, prosecuting attorney for
q pardon. .-

A SMALL LEGACY
WAITS HIN IN iowa
Aged Man Walking From Tennessee
to Des Moines.

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 26.-Enrich-
ed by new pair of shoes and re-
freshed by three square meals and a.
night spent at the Belleville, Ill.,, po-
lice station, William Smith, 60 years
old, white haired and lettering, con-
tinued his walk yesterday from
Tennessee to Des Moines, Ia, where
a small legacy awaits him.
Too proud to beg and too old to
work, Smith appeared at the police
station late Wednesday afternoon.
He was ready to collapse, and asked
for something to eat and place to
sleep. He had had 81 when he left
Gap, Tenn, eleven days
ago, but this is used up.
Smith recently learned that an
aunt in Des Moines had died and left
him $4,000, and he therefore start
ed to walk to Iowa to claim the Leg
acy.

ENEMIES ARE LONG BUSY
His Well Polluted and Cabin Enter
ed-Case Has Been
Appealed.

Mason City, Sept. 26.-Revela-
lions of the action of settlers of the
Occur dAlene country, Idaho, believ-
ed to have resulted in the murder Of
w. Commerville Colby, for many
years county engineer of this coun-
ty, and the son of DR.. Margaret z.
Colby, pioneer physician of Clear
Lake, have been received here from
DR.. Colby, who is now in Spokane,
seeking to discover the plot that de-
prived her of son.
Three weeks ago the cabin of Mr..

medicine they used against their en-
emies.

PATTISON FAVORS KING.
National Committeeman Endorses Ore
CONS Candidate for Cabinet.

Judge Will r. King of Portland,
Oregons candidate for the post as
Secretary of the Interior in President
elect Wilson's cabinet, has received the
official endorsement of John Pattison,
Democratic national committeeman
from Washington, in the place of
Charles G. Heifner of Seattle, who is
also a candidate for the position.
Pattison took this action after a
series of conferences between Heifner,
King, Pattison and r. H. Elder, nat
ional comitteeman from Idaho The
friendliest relationship existed be-
tween King and Heifner, and for
that reason it is not believed the con-
ferenccs developed friction.
Pattison had promised King his
Endorsement before friends of Heifner
began to urge him for this position,
but it was believed that King would
release him from this promise If the
three would get together. What effect
the endorsement will have on Heifner's
chances is problematical.
Heifner will leave Immediately after
the holiday season for the East to
see Chairman McCombs and in all
probability will also call upon Presi
dent-elect Wilson.
