New York. Sept. 9.-lnternational
bankers here did not altogether rel
ish today the news from Portland,
Maine, that more than $65,000,000 in
gold coin was speeding to New York
to bolster Great Britain's credit in
this country. 1t comes, it was said,
at time when gold is wanted less

initiation and speculation
Already, according to the weekly
statement of the Federal Reserve
Board as Of Sept. 3, the gold reserve
in national banks has reached the
total of SECS, 100000. Seasonable de-
mands will decrease the sum, but it
still will leave, it was believed, a
huge amount which must be put to
work in other ways.
While pay for the supplies sent to
Great Britain is. of course, both want
ed and expected, New York bankers
would much prefer to lend Great Brit
ain the money to pay them, taking
high-class American securities as col
lateral for the loan.
England's Bill to America.
Great Britains three gold and Sc
curity shipments of the last five
weeks, aggregating $1SO,000OOO,
would indicate, should the exchange
rate remain near normal, according
to commerce experts that she had
bought goods to the value of $720,-
100000 in America. This is believed
to be below the minimum. The ex-
change rate is at present 21c under
normal. Other factors entering into
the situation lead to the belief that
Englands bill to America at the
present time is in the neighborhood
of $1,OO1,OOO,O 900.
Some Of this big bill, 1t was said,
probably was for the account Of
France. An arrangement between
England and France for paying bills
due here exists. it is believed but its
details are not known.

The monday nap is coming into favor again. Not among women, be it known, but among men, and the biggest, most successful men at that And the idea is no longer looked upon as old-fashioned. It's thought extremely modern. There have al- ways been practitioners of the nap habit, even in the most strenuous days of American business and poli- tics. John D. Rockefeller made it an invariable habit of his active life to take a half-hour nap in his office after lunch. He had a couch in his inner sanctum, and his secretary's s orders to keep out visitors during the half-hour were absolute. It made no difference who came to see him. or what the urgency of the busi- ness was. The oil business might tOtter on the edge of ruin, the fi- nancial world might be going to smash, but for John D. the world stopped moving for that half-hour. And at the end of it he issued forth with his eye clear, the weary lines smoothed from his face and his breath deep and steady, ready to face any man or tackle any job. Tom Johnson, famous for years as the "three-cent fare" mayor of Cleveland, mixed the noon nap with politics with conspicuous success. Johnson was tireless worker. In campaign time he worked literally day and night, wearing out all his subordinates. His energy seemed ln- eXhaustible. But every afternoon, after lunch, Johnson would turn all the political hangers-on out of his office, pull down the window shades, stretch his portly frame on an old couch and drop off to sleep while his secretary stood guard outside. In about twenty minutes he was ready for another twelve hours work or fight. Now they say the habit is becoming general in Wall street, and there are big business and professional men in every city in the country who take their after lunch maps unashamed. And it's curious coincidence that they're generally the men that get the best of particularly in the after noon, when they're fresh as daisies and the man they're dealing with are tired They live longer, too. as rule. And they don't have nervous prOStratiOn.

Mayor Wilson And Bridperort.
(Waterbury American)

cAISA H..
 Remembering what foolish inter- pretat1ons were put upon the result Of our municipal election by some commentators on the outside. we hesitate to pretend to understand Mayor Wilson's triumphant re-elec- tion in Bridgeport. He was supposed to have had an understanding with the Democratic candidate opposed to him. This led a strong element to nominate a third candidate. This third candidate succeeded in beating the Democratic candidate, but it ia a question whether his candidacy did not actually serve to help Wilson. He evidently took more votes away from the Democrat than he did from the Republican. His vote and that of the Democrat together was greater than Wilson's. Whether this vote opposed to Wilson could have been united on one candidate, supposing the other were withdrawn, Is very doubtful. It is a case where a pow erfu1 political organization, which seems to control the machinery ot both parties, was stronger than the disorganized forces in opposition.
 MT Wilson's election will be held as great Republican victory. But it must have been accomplished by Democratic votes. Socialists and la Dor voters lost their identity in the great fight over Wilson. The power lessness of the press when trying tC lead public opinion against the pop ular feeling is shown in 8 marked degree in Bridgeport. MT. Wilsor was opposed by all the newspaper but one and they all made him thu issue and attacked him with bittel persistence. Perhaps part of hi. victory was due to this martyrdon bV the press

the military reasons which rendered it indiscreet to quote the text of great poem as its author wrote it. Whether the suggestion that our methods of de- struct.on numbered twenty-nin would give information to the Germans, or whether strict accuracy refused to countenance the implication that they were so numerous, or whether too else familiarity with Browning was calculated to depress the people of this country, or to shake their confi- dence in the government in short, whatever the motive of the censor may have been, We can only record the fact And the fact is that the words twenty y-nine distinct were neatly ruled out and the single word different inserted instead of them. We do not complain. Incidents far less trivial and far more damaging to our national reputation are daily fea- lures of the censorship.
 Isn't the burden of the English peo- pleple heavy enough at this time with out provoking wrath in their hearts by such bungling officiousness as is com pla1ned about? And just imagine, if possible, what would happen with such censorship in this country.

Press on Preparedness.
(Meriden JOurnal)

The editors of the Worlds Work recently took a poll of the press of the country on preparedness, the re- suits of which appear in the Novem- Der issue of the magazine.
 No paper of the entire 261 ex- pressed downright opposition to pre- paredness. Six newspapers were either more interested in other aspects of our relation to the possibility of war or were so lukewarm toward prepar- edness as to suggest an opposition they did not express
 The degree to which the others would prepare, the methods by which they would prepare, differ. Some de- mand the biggest navy in the world and some think more submarines and coast defense guns will suffice Some favor a big standing army; some, an enlarged national guard; some, universal compulsory training.
 The majority opinion favors navy second in power to Great Britain s and a reorganization of our land forces to give us an increased stand ing army and ultimately a reserve Of a million men. The papers treat the question of preparedness as the most important subject before the new congress which convenes in December, and warn that body that the country demands prompt and ade- quate measures to meet the situation.

There are many obvious reasons which make automobile accidents commoner and more serious at night; there is one which is not so obvious, but is none the less to be expected. Did you ever hear of an instance in which a lone person, driving for some distance late at night, fell asleep at the reins, but was saved from trouble by the intelligence of his horse, which avoided obstacles and took him safely home, waking him by the action of stopping in his own farmyard?
 Now as the use of the machine be- comes more general, and the novelty of 1t wears off. there are likely to be such instances among those who drive 1t. They will not happen so often, for experience teaches the prudent person that his life depends on keep ing awake. But there must now and then be a case in which tired na- ture, the lullaby of the purring motor. combine to overcome even the instinct Of self-preservat1on. And when the man at the wheel falls asleep, of course something happens without much delay. If the outcome is less than serious injury to the machine or it's occupants or to someone who gets in their way, they are fortunate.
 Perhaps there isn't much that can be done to forestall occasional acci- dents due to this cause. But owners of machines which are used for livery purposes can at least see to it that their drivers are not required to keep such long hours as induce perilous sleepliness. As for the private driver he must look to himself. He should fully appreciate the peril of yielding to the least tendency to sleepiness.

When the ultimate consumer buys a hat, a pair of shoes, a suit of cloth ing, parlor sofa or a package of breakfast food, he pays q price that covers full manufacturing costs, plus advertising and selling expenses, plus a profit for the jobber, and thus a profit for the retailer. One or one and a half times the cost of manu- fracture is the general average for selling staples, while in the drug lines and specialties in all lines, gro- cery, textile, hardware, etc, the sell ing cost rises to four, five and six times the cost of manufacture. The selling cost of one of our most suc- cessful typewriters is reported to be five times it's cost of manufacture. Tn the printing trade it is different
 There are no extra profits in print ing, and most printing is sold below cost, yet the consumer who has been educated to pay these prices for other commodities, pays none of these extra costs and profits which other products carry, when he buys
