LESS GAMBLING, MORE BUSINESS

A marked effect upon stock ex-
change business was predicted to
result from the operation of the
federal reserve act by William A.
Scott of the University of Wiscon-
sin, whose fine address in Abilene
is remembered by our business men.
Reimbursement Of banking ar
rangements will result and will be
permanent" says Prof. Scott. Some
of the most important exchange re-
lations between banks will be sew
cred and new ones formed with the
federal reserve banks.
at seems certain that the call
loan business in New York stock ex-
change will be considerably dimin-
ished. The reserve funds now de-
voted almost exclusively to that
business will be diverted to other
uses and commercial paper will
compete with the loans on the open
market. The stock broker will no
longer have the advantage over all
other classes of borrowers of being
able to furnish the most easily mar
ketable security"

ATTACKS
ELLSWORTH PEOPLE

Ellsworth, April "a reign OF
terror was established on Douglas
avenue by a rampant squirrel. First
the little beast jumped on little
Jane Sparr, trying to bite her neck.
1t drove its teeth to the bone of one
of the girls fingers as she fought
it. Next Karl Bornchien suffered a
painful wound on the back of his
head. Three more young women,
Hazel Work, June Tremble and a
maid were bitten and chased off the
street.
Having conquered all in sight,
the squirrel, formerly pet, found
safety in the treetops.

ARREST AN AMERICAN CONSUL
Charge He Passed Counterfeit OF
Mexican Rebel Fiat Money

Chihuahua, Mexico, April a.
Edward A. Powers, United States
consular agent at Parral, was ar
rested by the rebel authorities at
Parral on charge of passing coun-
terfeits of the rebel fiat money.
Powers telegraphed to Marion Letch-
er, American consul here, of his
plight, and Letcher said he would
demand the immediate release of
Powers.
e. e. Johnson, cashier, and f. A.
Hawkins, assistant manager of the
Alvarado Mining and Milling Com
pany, both of whom are Americans,
were arrested on similar charges
and Consul Letcher is looking after
their interests.
1t lie explained that the men are
without guilt. The fiat currency was
cheaply printed and soon a large
number of counterfeits appeared
For a time even officials were nn-
able to tell the genuine from the
spurious.
It Is said that the Americans who
we're arrested bought the money in
good faith for the purpose Of pay
ing employees.

support of the Dickinson county
folks. No man in the county has
done more for the party than he and
none has been more of a business
success. He will make an addition
to the ticket that will bring it votes
all over the state and he should
have no opposition for the position.
This county has been very backward
in asking any place on the state
ticket for years and it is entitled to
recognition. Mr.. Brewer will be a
first class presiding officer of the
senate and we hope to see him nom
mated and elected.

BREWER AND THE FIFTH

Reports from Topeka are to the
effect that there Is a movement to
eliminate" j. e. Brewer from the
Republican ticket. This seems to
us to be very poor politics. Mr..
Brewers candidacy for lieutenant
governor is one of the best things
that could happen to the Republican
ticket. The Fifth district has no
candidate for a place on the ticket:
1t is entitled to position. The Re-
publicans will need every element
that they can unite for a victory
this year and unless they make q
ticket that gives every faction a
show there will be greater effort
necessary to win. The Fifth district
is willing to do it's share but It in
sists that It have q candidate on the
ticket and Brewer suits 1t. Futher-
more he Is going to stay in the race
and we hope the party will nominate
him without opposition.
