Saturday, August rs, 1916.

Again, after a week of rising
prices and enormous activity on the
New York Stock Exchange, the
Clearing House banks on Saturday
reported a large gain in surplus re-
serve. 1t takes a great deal Of credit
to finance a speculation such as is
now in progress in Wall Street, but
what people seem to fear is that the
supply of stocks will be exhausted
while yet there is the credit to buy
them with. There may not be stocks
enough to go around; but of credit
there is vast amount. The Federal
Reserve Bank system ought to be
impounding gold and taking other
steps TO remove from people the
temptation to abuse cheap and eXces-
sive credit. Instead, the members OF
the Federal Reserve Board delight
to picture this country as financial
Eden. People nave Deen uellVereu
forever from the danger of Panics.
1--WE can never, under the Federal
Reserve system, have a currency
famine says Charles S. Hamlin.
Why, no. The production Of paper
currency presents only technical and
mechanical difficulties. But what Of
credit? Apparently that is mex
haustible also. Mr.. Hamlin says:
Never again in this country will
the business man who deserves credit
he turned down." Add to this the
McAdoo doctrine that every Ameri-
can citizen who does not own bank
is entitled to the use of credit and
you have the whole delusion.

FOREIGN TRADE OF
CANADA FLOURISEES
The Excess of Exports in Four
Months Over $200,000,000.
b. ;. ROY WEAVER.
Toronto, September p.

The reduction in Canadian importa-
tons of foreign products partly vol
untary, but more largely enforced by
wars interference with commerce and
the great expansion in exports from
the Dominion have strengthened Cam
ada's ability TO absorb its own war ia
sues. For four months Of the fiscal
year ending July 81 exports Of mer-
chandise exceeded imports by s224,l0i,-
30. Excluding from the totals coin
and bullion, which are exceptional
owing to special transactions between
the imperial and Canadian govern
ments, and therefore not an indication
of the trend Of commerce, the follow
ing figures give an idea Of the flourish
ing condition of Canada's foreign
trade:

Miss Minnie Bronson. who spoke In
Nevada during the recent suffrage
campaign. has issued the following
statement:
president Wilson has stood firmly
by the platform OF his party, adopted
at st. Louis. In spite of the threats OF
the suffrage leaders. The Republican
candidate has repudiatec his party's
platform in one particular on the
promise of the support of the suffrage
leaders. But the man who has stood
for the principles upon which he was
nominated viii win the support OF the
people. and not the man who has re
pudiated his platform to please a few
women agitators. Facts are facts. and
here they are:
In forty-seven years woman suff
rage has carried In states representing
ninety-one electoriel votes. In two
years woman suffrage has been de
feated in states representing 1S6 cleo
toral votes. There are IT. electoral
votes from the fifteen Democratic
states of the solid South Only 80
more votes are required to re-elect the
President; there are five states-New
York. Ohio. Massachusetts,. New Jer
sey. and Michigan representing 116
votes. These. added to The
ELECTORAL vote of the South, are suf
ficient to re-elect the President with

PRESIDENT WILSON TO WIN IN A WALK

nearly thirty votes to spare. What
are the chances OF winning these
states?
"All five states can be considered
Democratic. Four of them went Demo-
cratic In 1912. and Michigan has gone
Democratic since 191D by more than
two to one. These five states have all
defeated woman suffrage at the polls
since the last Presidential election.
There were 2.O11.5OO votes polled
against woman suffrage. with a ma.
jority over the suffrage advocates of
esq., 900. Four OF these states gave an
aggregate plurality to President VIII
son of $4,000 votes in 1912. No Re
publicans have claimed any of these
states or their candidate by any sub
stantial majority.
1T is apparent. therefore, that the
Republican candidate, in declaring for
a federal suffrage amendment, disfran.
chising these votes on question
which many of them consider as i'm
portant as who shall be President of
the United States. has allienated an
element in the electorate possessing
five times the power necessary to de.

COUNTRY CLUB HOME
 IS ALMOST COMPLETE
Furniture Now Being Installed in Handsome Clubhouse, Which Is
 Receiving Final Touches.

The handsome furniture recently ordered by the Pine Bluff Golf and Country club is now being installed in the new home of the club, southwest of the city, and it is hoped by the off cers and members of the club that within the next fortnight arrange ments may be perfected for the form al opening of the clubhouse.
 Only the finishing touches are necessary by the carpenters, painters and other artisans to complete the work on the clubhouse itself, while there is yet to be done a small amount of work on the electric lighting and waterworks plant. Already the mem bers of the club are using the locker rooms, while the new golf course was formally used on the Fourth of July for the first time, and is now being used by dozens of the golf players each afternoon.
 Quite number of plants were taken to the clubhouse yesterday by wives of members, and will be used in the porch and window boxes and in the flower plots which are to add so much to the attractiveness of the grounds. The tennis courts are vet to be built, and this is expected to be completed before the end of the summer.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Commissioners of Cherry District
 Will Meet Today.

Commissioners of the road district No. 13, the Cherry street road, will meet today to hear any objections that may be presented by property own CTS, and because it is not expected there will be any objections, it is be- lieved the contract will be let within very short time, and that the road will be completed within the next three months
 The road will extend on Cherry street from the end of the present asphaltic concrete pavement at the city limits, a distance of about one and one-half miles. It will be of high grade gravel, with paved width of 20 feet. There will be one big fill to be made in the road, but the dirt is near at hand for such purpose. The southern terminus of the road will be opposite the main entrance to the grounds of the Pine Bluff Golf and Country club, opposite the handsome new building of the club.

PROHIBITIONISTS MAY NAME WOMAN
 VICE PRESIDENCY

St. Paul, Minn., July With the approach of the Prohibition national convention, which is to be held here July 1921, discussion began today at national headquarters of the pos sible action of the convention in se- lecting the presidential candidate of the party. Some of the party leaders were inclined to the opinion that the standard bearer would be selected from among those new to the Prohibi- tion party, recent converts to the pro- hibition movement either as party or in principle rather than from the ranks of the old-time prohibitionists.
 In the first category, the. new com CTS to the party, the names of three former governors were mentioned frequently: J. Frank Hanly of In- dianapolis, Eugene N. Foss of Boston and William Sulzer of New York. Leaders took the position that each of the three had many followers in diff ferent sections of the country and was a potential candidate.
 Those who inclined to the old line candidates brought into the discussion the names of Frederick F. Wheeler of Los Angeles, Francis E. Baldwin of Elmira, N. Y, w. G. Calderwood of Minneapolis, W. P. F. Ferguson of Franklin, Pa., and Sumner W. Haynes of Indiana
 Among the vice presidential pessi- bilities were listed Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, Frank w. Emer- son of Los Angeles and others, some of whom are regarded as presidential possibilities also. In addition there has been talk that the second place on the ticket might go to 9 woman in recognition of the great share taken by women in the prohibition move ment Among those mentioned in that connection were Miss Marie c. Brehm of Pittsburgh, Pa, Miss Mary Harris Armor of Macon, Ga, and Mrs. Elias s. Boole of New York.
