While the defalcations of Mr.. Mas
sey will be felt by the interests of the
bank who have volunteered to make
the same good, the blow falls most
heavily upon the parents of the
young man who are among our most
respected citizens and who have al
ways looked with pride upon the
business ability OF tehir son and the
honor and respect that he enjoyed
from the entire community. A little
less than four years ago Mr.. Massey
was united in marriage to one of Je-
rome's fair daughters, the result of
this union being two sweet daugh-
tiers. one aged about 2 II years and
the other a little over year old, and
while the young wife is crushed with
grief and modification, she will find
consolation in the company of her
two children and the sympathy ex-
tended to her by the entire commun-
ity. Having been left practically
penniless she showed her courage
and determination by at once apply
ing for a position as teacher in the
schools here. a position she most
ably filled until her marriage. and II
is needeless 70 add that the schoo
board most readily granted her ap
plication.
Mr. Massey was under bonds o
$1,000 and his personal effects TO tn
amount of few thousand dollar
was turned over to the bank, and /
was his declaration that at the en-,
of his term he would repay every cen
that his friends were called upon I

COPPER-The New York market
was dull, but other markets did con-
siderable business.
LEAD-Prices have been advanced
daily and large sales have been made
to ammunition manufacturers and to
exporters. 1t is evident that buyers
consider it wise to be forehanded as
large demand for lead is expected
later in the year. market is still
advancing daily; lead today is quoted
at $5.75.)
SPELTER-Last week was even
more crazy than the crazy week i'm
mediately passed, buyers appearing to
pay what is demanded of them. The
buying was chiefly by brass makers
for war munitions. One authority es-
Inmates that rs per cent of the expect
ed production from July to Septem-
ber has been sold, and 30 per cent of
the production for September to De-
cember.
SILVER--The silver market contin-
ues quiet with a moderate demand
and small fluctuations.

PROPOSE SICKNESS INSURANCE

The feasibility of a system of sick
ness insurance for the United States
and for states, by which wage earners
would be enabled to meet the expenses
of i'll health and the various health
promoting agencies be stimulated IN
the prevention of disease among in
dustrial workers, has been the sub
ject Of investigation by member of
the staff of the federal commission
on industrial relations and the United
States public health service, accord
ing to an announcement by the bu-
reau of the public health service
here.
A system of sickness insurance sim
liar TO those in operation in European
countries, states the report, is based

portionate payments from employers

the public will thus have a definite
financial incentive to reduce the
amount of sickness and the preventive
agencies now at work will be afford

industrial and trade union organiza-
tions for the purpose of lesesning dis

FAIR ASSOCIATION MEETS.

The most important question taken
up last night at the meeting of di-
rectors of the Fair Association, was
when should the fair be held and how
long should it last. The secretary
advises us that the matter was thor
oughly discussed by the directors, both
as to date of fair and how many
days it should continue. Finally it
was decided that the early part Of
October would be best for all con-
cerned, therefore Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, October 6, and 8
were determined upon, or three days
in place of four, leaving Saturday for
emergenty purposes if necessary. The
question Of amusements, ETC., was left
for a later date and the balance Of
the business done was along the line
of filling up committees. For the in
formation of those interested it might
be well to suggest that the following
are chairmen of committees:
Fair grounds, Cy Graden.
Baseball, Geo w. Moody.
Races and music, A. E. Reece.

niSCRIMINATES IN FAVOR
OF FOREIGN SHIPS

| WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-The
court of customs appeals has just
| added another act to the comedy of
orIors in which the Democratic ad-
ninistration takes the star part.
The court has rendered an opinion
on the construction Of the provision
in. the Underwood tariff law intend
ed to give five per cent discount in
Customs on merchandise imported in
American vessels, and has virtually
declared that the effect of the provIs-
ion gives a wholesale discrimination
in favor of ships of foreign coun-
tries.
In recent article attention was di-
rected to this classic blunder then
pending before the customs court. The
slovenly methods by which it was en-
acted were referred to, showing that
the Democrats had vague idea about
aiding American shipping, adopted n
vague method of extending such aid,
ard by careless guess work had
thrown the whole matter into the
courts. 1t was shown that during the
debate in congress, Republicans had
given repeated warnings that, apart
from its policy, the phraseology of
the five per cent section as meaning
less and should be corrected to accom-
plish its purposes.
The decison OF the court of customs
appeals completely confirms these
statements, and rubs it in by say
ing: "The wisdom or expediency of
the policy is matter into which we
may not inquire nor have 1.-THE right
to suspend the operation of the stat
ute because we may think its pdr-
pose is not adequately accomplished"
1t will be recalled that the language
! of the five per cent discount section
provided that nothing herein shall be
so construed as to abrogate or in any
manner impair or affect the provis-
ions of our treaties with foreign ma
| tiOns."
1t appears from the opinion of the
customs court that here are at least
$500 treaty nation vessels in the
American foreign trade, and. that
there are not over fifty American YES
sells. AS a flavor" to our own ships
the Democratic congress, according 20
this decision, gave an equal bounty
to $500 competing foreign vessels.
In It's decision the court referred
to statistics showing that the dis
count provision reduces duties five Fer
cent upon considerably more than
one-half of all our dutiable imports.
After all its labored adjustment Of
tariff rates the Democrats, in this
single paragraph proposing five per
cent discount practically destroyed
the effect of all preceding schedules,
and in the same breath conferred
upon foreign ships valuable privi-
! lege intend only for our own ships.
