Gov. Cox on Organism.

Gov Cox OF Ohio is a Bryan man, and
proud of it He was one of the speakers
at the Bryan dinner eaten at Lincoln,
NeS., Thursday evening in celebration Of
Mr.. Bryan's ffty-fourth birthday, and
with other things said of his hero:
He stands out particularly conspicu-
Gus, in that he has lived to see in the
very flower Of his magnificent manhood
the vindication of his cause. When one
goes back to the campaign of 1896, re-
calls the abuse, and then views the pres
emit, he cannot but be impressed with the
thought that while Mr.. Bryan was not
elected to the presidency. the honors of
that high Office are not comparable to his
triumph"
Not the vindication of his cause. Free
silver coinage at 16 to as an independent
act by this government is as dead as
Hector. Government ownership and oper-
alton Of railroads may be on the way,
but has not arrived. Tariff revision on
AWKWARD lines is an accomplished fact,

Loan Shark Agreement.

| Justice would be satisfied and the small
borrower with slender collateral would be
protected under the agreement which Is
proposed between the corporation coun-
sells office and attorneys for the loan
sharks under charges. AS outlined in the
news. this agreement would be that the
loan sharks shall plead guilty to the first
offense of violation of the loan shark law.
and for that offerse pay a fine of 500:
that they shall plead guilty to the second
offense of violation of the law, and that
their managers shall each be sentenced
to pay a fine Of 500 ard serve thirty days
in jail. and that this sentence shall De
suspended. TO be enforced in the event
of a third offense. Under this agreement
the loan shark companies will seek to
collect only three-fourths of the sum
loaned and without interest. Such an
agreement, if faithfully carried out under
official supervision, would be a public
victory.
What is demanded by the right-thinking
section of the public is that loan sharking
shall cease. 1t is not demanded that needy
persons without the collateral required to
secure a bank loan shall be deprived of
the opportunity of borrowing small sums
from agencies willing to take the risk.
1t is necessary that in a large city there
shall be lenders of money to small
saIaried people who find it imperative
that they borrow to tide over an uncom-
Portable period. The object of the WASH
ington citizens loan committee, which
voluntarily undertook the adjustment of
this question, and of the citize MS standing
behind them in the movement, was to
protect this class of persons against
blackmail and extortion. The bill, as
drafted and submitted to the House Dis
trict committee. had this end in view, and
those who had studied the subject be-
lieved that it would meet the situation
and fulfill it's purpose. The workabilty
of the law was interfered with, if not de-
stroyed, by unwise amendment of the bill.
The interest allowed under the draft of
the original bill was 2 per cent month.
AS amended, the interest rate was reduced
to 1 per cent a month. This, experience
has taught. is too low for safety in max
ing loans secured only by personal notes
of persons without other assets than
wages or small salaries. The original
bill did not include pawnbrokers. whose
business was already closely regulated by
the police department. Under the bill, as
amended, the license of money lenders
was made $500 a year. Experien' has
shown that this license fee is prohibitive.
The District Commissioners have pre-
scented to the District committees of the
House and Senate a set of proposed
| amendments to the present law which
would bring that law somewhat nearer
the shape contemplated in the original
| bill.
