real estate. The inevitable result has
been panic and disaster.
Every influence affecting the finan-
cial situation Is carefully weighed and
due heed is given to 1t by the great
Wall Street interests. 1t may be true
that they are selfishly looking out for
their own safety, but in preserving that
they are benefiting hundreds of thou
sands of stockholders and property
holders through the length and breadth
of the land.
These men and institutions are the
officers of the ship of commerce and
the whole country may be sailing with
them in a state of hopefulness and &C
tivity, unaware of any dangers which
the navigators must look for and avoid
The people of the country do not ap-
preciate this position of enormous re-
sponsibility and even heartlessly re-
joice when disaster difficulties come
upon some big corporation, not think
ing that they themselves are most af-
fected by the final result.
But, in the meantime, the prosperity
brought to them by the splendid crop
of last year and the outlook for an
other this year, has made the West
disregardful of anything else. They are
filled with independence. The situation
of the railroads is nothing to them.
They do not care that while the rail-
roads are doing the greatest gross
business in their history, expenses and
taxes are overwhelming and net earn
ings small. Their only concern is that
fine trains are run and high class serv-
ice maintained. How the stockholders
are affected is immaterial. How rail-
road credit is being diminished is negli-
gible But this is a selfish attitude
which will bring it's own punishment.
Even the West cannot flourish perma-
nently if the great institutions of the
country are not kept prosperous.

says UNCLE CAV

You should know, John Henry that
there's a vast difference between a
rip-roaring, hard-hitting sort of a reb-
ell and an habitual bowler. Just at first
glance you are likely to put them in
the same class but that's where you
and the rest of the folks who talk too
much and do too little make your big
mistake. There is a great gulf fixed
between the two, and the only thing
that will bridge it is action that lives
up to threats. A rebel is the salt of
the earth-a bowler is a natural-born
footmat. We step on him to hear him
wall. if for no other reason.
A rebel is a man who goes out with
a brick or a petition, a gun or an issue,
and raises hob until he gets it, one way
is externally disconnected and takes it
out in chin fire.
Every office, organization, clique or
community has it's rebels and its
howlers. By their fruits we know them
one gets results and the other makes
US tired. Insurgents are always more
or less popular right or wrong No
be speaking the gospel truth in a holy
cause. Words may stir us up, but we
bet our money on deeds.
If you don't like the way things are
going on your own particular dung
hill, be a game cock and make a fuss
with beak and spurs. If you don't your
neighbors will soon be interested in you
only as annoyance.
It's good thing to have just cause,
but just cause isn't absolutely neces-
sary to win the point for the time
being. The reason that the wicked
flourish like the green bay tree and
the righteous get it in the neck lies in
the fact that the wicked go after what
they want unhesitatingly and Efficient
ly. They don't waste time bowling. 1t
takes only one word or two at the most
to declare a declaration of war, de-
pending upon your taste in the matter
of language. After war is declared the
time for discussion has passed. fact
that the bowler never seems to re-
alize.
Old Buck Higgins was the chronic
kicker of Puckyhuddle. He kicked
against the muddy condition of Main
street for twenty years. He contin-
ued bowling until nobody would listen
to him. but that made no difference
he still kept on. One day a new man
came to town, put up brick building
on the main corner and installed a drug
store. Then he announced that Main
street was going to be paved. He told
the city fathers that If they didn't
pave, he would run for mayor just as
soon as he had lived in town long
enough and would put the everlasting
fixings on the somnolent members of
the common council. The street was
paved.
Just what I've been kickin' fur fur
twenty years." said Old Buck. How'd
you do it?"
Il didn't kick-I lambasted EN- said
the new druggist
And there's a heap of wisdom to be
attained by careful attention to the
difference between the two methods.
Everybody loves a good, workable reb
ell: nobody will listen long to a bowler,
If he can get out of earshot.-(Copy-

WALL STREET AND BEYOND

A correspondent from the interior
writes to the Bache Review as follows:
After travelling around the country.
1 find that business is good and that
the people at large are in good spirits
and have not quite given the country
up as the people in Wall Street seem
to have done. I believe If the whole
Wall Street crowd could be taken out
on a trip around the country and let
them get some fresh air and see how
much prosperity prevails everywhere
outside of New York, they would all be
turned into optimists instead of direful
pessimists. 1t has always been my
opinion that depressions in Wall
Street are the cause of slowing down
in business. and not the effect. The
| securities on the New York Stock Elk
change are held by investors all over
the country and a rule. they are
put up by them as collateral on loans
AS these securities depreciate in value
the borrowing power of the country
is Iessened in proportion, which means
curtailment in business.
II believe that If the bankers in New
York would send out assuring mes
sages to their correspondents and that
if the brokers would form a Sunshine
Club and would try to take a more
optimistic view of things. the business
of the country would go on undisturbed
and that conditions in Wall Street
would soon return to normal"
Replying editorially to the foregoing
the Review says:
We have quoted this because we
think these views are widely held

sidered that what is called wall

tons, which add so much bulk to the
business of the country. They are re-
sponsible for the success Or failure of
the operations of these corporations,
and are, consequently, wide awake to
all influences affecting them. When
the country's banking situation takes

THE MAIN POINT.

The State Journal is in receipt of a
| communication from a Topeka man
who objects to the advertisement of a
| church meeting in these columns and
who alleges that "the ministers miss the
main point entirely" This correspond
ent goes further still when he declares
that hundreds of thinking men in this
city cannot bring themselves to be-
| lieve the absurd story that the creator
of this infinite universe was the ia
Their of a good man born 1900 years
ago"
The writer goes on to question the
existence of a devil and the prediction
of eternal punishment. He admits that
the church does some good along GER
tain lines but argues that this is more
than offset by foolish theological the
cries and teachings and beliefs. He
cannot, he says, bring himself to at
tend the church services set forth in
the advertisement above referred to.
Religious discussion is as futile as
religious intolerance, and the columns
of a daily paper are not the place for
it. Yet in this free country every man
is entitled to his own belief and ex-
preston of opinion. The correspondent
adds as a postscript: I'VE know your
paper is fair to all parties" So the
text of his communication is printed in
this spirit of fairness.
Yet if the Carpenters Son was not
divine then saint and sinner, CORE
spondent and editor reader and writer
should tremble, for the whole scheme
of salvation hangs upon His birth and
life and resurrection. His gentle word
is the only light in the dark of the
big valley of this pilgrimage road. The
Orientals and the barbarians have ac-
cepted certain gods and prophets, but
the only divinity that has ever ap-
pealed to the hard, practical, sensible
and progressive people of the western
civilization is the Son of Mary. This
belief has stood the test for 1000 years.
Mortal man has only few years here
of veal and woe. And for all eternity
he has only "a good man born 1000
years ago" for surety. No philosophy
or creed has promised so much or
seems so great and sure and sound as
that of the Gallilean.

THE TREASURY AND THE BANKS

If there was any doubt of the sue
cess of the governments plan to col
lect interest on it's deposits in ma
tional banks it has been removed.
The setting aside of 100000 of
government funds for deposit in ma
tional banks at 2 per cent interest
has resulted in applications from
bankers for amounts aggregating far
more than the amount named by the
secretary of the treasury for distri-
button.
If the system had been inaugural
ed at the time that Mr.. Cleveland
started making such deposits, 1t is es-
timated that Uncle Sam would have
been $50, 100000 ahead. 1t is a vast
sum that has been virtually presented
to the banks. All this time they have
been paying ordinary depositors a
rate in excess of this.
The new arrangement will enable
the treasury to play even on the in
terest paid to depositors in postal saw
ings banks. For the use of these de-
posits the banks must pay 2A per

KANSAS COMNENT
GREAT is REPHoRM."

The people of Missouri are certainly
getting a touch of high life this year
as the same may be administered by
and through the referendum. First
came the saloonkeepers with an appeal
to the referendum to hold up the coun-
ty unit law in the interest of the whisky
traffic. Then the Democratic machine
down at st. Louis invoked it to de-
feat a home rule bill for the cities OF
Missouri, no other reason being given
than that st. Louis had elected a Re
publican mayor and If the new law
should go into effect he would have a
chance to put Republicans in office.
And now come the railroads, incensed
over the passage of the full crew bill,
and announce that the referendum will
be used to suspend the operation of the
law for two years, with the hope and
expectation at the end of that time to
defeat it altogether. In every case it
is some special interest" which has
laid hold OF this weapon of the peo-
pie" and is welding 1t against the peo-
pie. Great is Rephorm!-Iola Register.
