The speculation in Russian rubles
has all flattened out. Their value
is unmoved by the news that ne
gotiations for another Russian loan
have been resumed with some hope
Of success. The discount Of the ruble
is owing 10 the fact that Russia is
d debtor here. She has TO buy dol
lcrs with rubles. Being the debtor,
che is more in need Of dollars than
We are in need Of rubles. The Rus
sian demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the American demand
for rubles with which TO settle ac-
counts in Russia. Hence the de-
dine of the ruble when il is priced
in dollars. The purpose of placing
a Russian loan here is to provide
dollar credit with which to pay dol
lar debts, and the normal effect
would be TO cause a recovery in the
dollar value Of the ruble. But the
ruble is suffering from the ill-suc-
cess Of speculation in foreign ex-
change in which everybody was on
one side. The last Russian loan
was placed hero on the basis Of
1898 1-3 per ruble. The normal
price In time Of peace is s0.5l. II
the ruble advanced above 33 1-3
cents there would be n profit in ex-
change for the holders Of the loan.
They had in effect "call" on rubles

Washington, October 10

French imports are still on the in
crease, according TO figures OF the
French Customs Office received here.

Current

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for S475h; the intrinsic par
ity is s4SG5s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at a pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which 20 settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.

sentative Thomas S, Crago, of Penn

here today by the national republi-

One year and five months Of
democratic rule found the country
with industries paralyzed, the treas
ury almost bankrupt, our rights ov-

wages reduced, the cost Of living in

has kept us out OF war when in fact
every move he made weakened us In

seryile truce with nations we knew
were strong.
"The weakness of our foreign pol
icies, the record of broken pledges,
the surrender of our rights, the use
less expenditure of millions and the
hypocrisy of democratic legislation
is so broad that the patience of the

TYPHOID PEEvENTABLE

While there may be no need for
auN'C'. 'n tho present typhoid situ-
alton. there is also mo- reason for not
facing the prohlom OF health prutcc-
tI0u In Ontario. As matter OF
common Justice, not only to them
solves but to their family and that
OF their ucighhors', every man and
woman should seek the promotion Of
every agency which has for It's pur-
pose the safeguarding OF the health
of the community.
The man who today Is opposing the
suggestion OF the city authorities that
connection be made with the sewers
Is playing fast and loose with the
health, and possibly the lives OF not
only his own family but that OF his
neighbors,
The family that today Is well. and
which in the past has never been
visited with the terrible scourge OF
typhoid. may be stricken tomorrow,
IL will be far cheaper. far better and
far happier II il take the means in
its possession and protect itself by
proper sanitary precautions.
There is no excuse for failure TO
do this, The experience of the Unit
ed States health department gained
Ihru tho nanagapnant Of haaIth o,p
ditions in the army together with
the experiences of the armies of the
world, not only in the present war,
but that OF Russia and Japan in the
Russo-Japanese war prove beyond
dispute that typhoid is preyentable
disease. There is no need OF sin
gle case OF this aliment in Ontario.
Even under the frightful condition
in Europe today typhoid is almost
unknown where sanitary measures
are enforced H.,g;'sW
y The reason for this is simple The
authorities in Europe place a high
value on the life and health OF every
soldier, DO not the people of On
tario place high value on their
own health, and that of their neigh
bOrs? We believe they do, at least
most of them do, II is the few who
are careless; the few who blind their
eyes to the march of medical science
and sanitary conditions who cause
the trouble.
So long as stagnant pools are per- !
mitted to serve as breeding places
for mosquitoes, so long as manure
piles are permitted and open out
houses furnish incubation for flies
so long will Ontario be visited per-
iodically by plaques of typhoid.
In this day and age after all the 1
work of the United States depart |
ment of public health, the state
health departments, the local author !
tiles the army surgeons, the health
department OF the Panama, the eX-
periences of the armies in Europe, |
the constant preaching OF the bene-
fits of sanitation in magazines and I
that a community such .
as is Ontario will long assist the
spread of disease among its people
is not belieyable
Everything should be done now
to aid in checking the disease this
fall, and this is possible only by a
.horo cleanup all over the city

Termed Subj Marine.

Can a citizen volunteer for
training in the Duties of the Unit
ed States Marine Corps, holding
himself in readiness to take the
place of a regular marine killed in
war, be properly termed a sub
marine.
That is what the rockies" now
at the Marine Corps training
camp in Lansdowne, Pa, would
like to know.
Friends of the citizen ''sea SOL
diers'' are telling them that a ma
rine, not regularly a marine, al
though coached in the signals and
likely to be called upon to pinch
hit" for a marine, must necessari-
ly be a submarine.
The rockies" themselves say
that Noah Webster overlooked
this knotty problem when he
wrote his best seller, and they are

the question.

That means that this county has

also means that this actually rep

that Carbon is worth at least $780,

Good Roads
Movement

Oohh AuyhohNuh piOoioOhs
of the Denver Cab and Omnibus
Co. of Denver and chairman of
the Colorado Highway Commits
sion, accompanied by @. T. Stew
art of Council Bluffs, Iowa, arriv-
ed Friday evening and has been
spending the week here.
Mr.. Kuykendall is very enthus-
iastic over good roads and his
work in the northern part of Col
orado is excellent. He has the
entire northeastern portion of the
state, running from Denver to the
west line of Kansas, north to Wy
oming and west to the continental
divide. He is accomplishing won
ders with the roads of that state
and he is very anxious that Wy
oming take up the matter of state
highways at the next session of
the Legislature and start roads
north and south and east and west
to connect with the other states.
He states that 1--WE are now
building a road from Denver to
Estes Park, which is practically
complete. We have finished it
up toward the Cameron Pass
route, with the intention of build
ing it into North Park through
that pass. If Wyoming will meet
US at the Colorado Wyoming line
with an excellent road from there
to the Lincoln Highway at Raw
Inns or Fit. Steele, we would have
the finest scenic route in the
world"
He is now going from here back
over the proposed route and will
inspect this locality. He says
that this route will cut off about
60 miles between Saratoga and
Denver, as near as engineers can
figure it, and will make the dis
lance about 160 miles. Until you
people can build surfaced roads,
that for the time being do just as
little new work as possible on
these natural roads, as they are
far better than any of the dirt
built roads in Wyoming that 1
have seen yet. It is a mistake to
build up dirt roads in this locali-
ty, as they are poorer than the
natural roads, as this country af-
fords the best natural roads in the
world. The main thing is to sim
ply fix the soft places and straight
en- out the curves that are short
and rough. Colorado has had 40
convicts working on Is miles of
road up the Peudre river above
1T. Collins and it is expected that
we will get it finished into Cam
eron pass sometime this fall and
by next fall will be clear in to
Walden, in North Park. This
road is 20 feet wide and built of
crushed rock, surfaced with grav-
el."
The first appropriation made by
Colorado was one and one-half
millions, which has built up the
roads Of that state to a wonderful
capacity The writer has just re-
turned from a short trip over
some of the roads in northern
Colorado and find that they are
excellent, and are not only useful
to the travel, but for the IT.
rounding farm and ranch country,
which is now able to travel over
the state, putting the entire state
in close touch with itself.
