creating a new supply of capital out
of savings, the owners of which viii
insist upon and will secure better re-
turns. Home trade conditions are
fairly satisfactory. There has been no
further improvement in the volume
of trade, but reports from many Sec
tions are encouraging. The steel in
dustry reports increasing activity
owing to war orders, and the larger
establishments are now running at
about 80 per cent of their capacity,
or about so per cent more than at the
opening of the year. Prices are firm
and many concerns are likely to show
greatly improved net results The rail-
road situation is also moro Satisfac-
tory. Gross earnings are not making
as good a showing as anticipated, but
the results in net often show encour-
aging gains, and the weakest spots in
the railroad situation appear to have
been pretty thoroughly discounted.
Crops are somewhat backward owing
to prevalent cool weather, but few
weeks of higher temperature would
quickly compensate for this def
cheney. The nations acreage is larger
than usual and the condition of most
crops, particularly wheat and cotton,
is entirely satisfactory. The money
market is easy and there is an album
dance of funds for good investments.
The July disbursements were S27O,-
900, 900, or not quite as large as usual.
The offerings of new issues have been
somewhat smaller The output of new
securities since January 1st was about
S76S, 100000, and compares with
$1.OS2, 100000 a year ago. The June
issues were on a particularly small
scale, being one-half of last years
figures. On the other hand, new in
corporations in the principal states
aggregated $23O,OOO,oOO or sos. OOO,-
900 more than a year ago and the
largest June on record. These figures
at least suggest rise in confidence"

AMERICAS THREE CHOICES.

American isolation is now a myth,
says The New Republic. And it pro-
ceeds to outline our future course as
follows: ION the assumption that we
have to play an active role, three gem
era1 courses lie open to us. We may
be able to enter a league of peace, ac-
cept its protection, and bear our share
of the burdens. Or we can come to a
definite understanding with the more
peaceful democracies of the world, es-
pecially with the British empire and
France; We can agree to stake out

spheres of common defense and con-
tribute definite share of naval and
military power in return for a proper
tionate control of the joint powers. Or
we can adopt both policies at once
an agreement with the British empire
in regard to the sea. agreement with
the chief South American republics
in regard to the Monroe doctrine, and
at the same time lend our support to
some such world organization for
dealing with disputes as the proposed
league of peace"

On the Spur
of the Moment
The President.
BY ROY X. MOULTON.

The cares of the job are upon him:
He's weighted with trouble and strife.
Confronted by perplexing prob AIMS,
Which harass residents life.
1t looks mighty fine from distance
To be a great man of the hour;
To sit In the seat of the mighty,
And WELD indisputable power.
But the men who cut wood in the forest,
Or labor deep down in the mine,
Have jobs that for peace and contentment
All jobs presidential outshine.
The night brings repose to the farmer.
The millhand, the teamster, the clerk;
But there's nothing in sight now fol
Woodrow
But worry, dull care and hard work.

ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS.


That the safety first movement on
the railroads has prevented many
deaths and accidents is indicated by
the last bulletin issued by the inter
state commerce commission. During
the year ended June 80, 1914, there
was q decrease of 662 in the number
injured. This is gratifying, of course.
but there must be opportunities for
further reductions. The lives of pas
sengers are we'll protected, according
to the statistics. OF the 10,302 killed
only 265 were passengers. The lives
of 1888 employees were lost and the
deaths of SITS trespassers and non
trespassers were recorded. The great
est number of injuries was inflicted
upon employees, 165, The list
shows that 1871 passengers and ~
329 tother persons were injured.
Obviously these figures are too large.
They prove that greater care on the
part of the companies, the employees
and the public is necessary. The
safety first movement should be
pushed with unremitting energy

THINGS WORTH KNOWING


''As far as 1 can learn said an
Atchison man to the Globe, ''all my
little girl learned in school this year
is that her eyes. are not mates, that
she will have to be vaccinated and
that her method of breathing is old
fashioned Well, WHAT'S the man
complaining about? If his daughter
has her eyes fitted with proper glasses
she will be better able to. do the read
ing that the course demands, even il
she did not learn the multiplication
table. If she escapes the smallpox and
preserves her beauty, she will consid-
er that as valuable by the time she is
20 as if she had committed the consti-
tuition to memory, and knowing how
to breathe properly may contribute as
much joy and happiness in her fair
young life as being able to locate the
medulla oblongata and name the
bones in the skull If education pre-
pares for fuller better living, what

And she was awful slack;
She never owned q pair of shoes

There was a girl in our town
Extremely hard to please;
