been a slight hardening tendency, but
no undue stringency is as yet in sight.
A further Improvement in the sterling
exchange situation has taken place,
being the result of the return Of Sc
curities, gold imports and the placing
of large foreign credits. The expan-
sion of about one billion in domestic
loans compared with Il year ago was
largely due to the return of Amcri-
can securities and the placing of for
eign loans. The mobilizing of Ameri-
can securities in Great Britain will
soon be in operation and its effects
upon international financial move
ments should be beneficial and will
be watched with keen interest. Rail-
road shares are generally well main
tanned. So, also, are bonds, although
both have been returned in consid-
cradle sums from abroad, and further
amounts VIII probably follow. The
large sums of American money thus
invested will naturally lessen the
amount available fol the development
of domestic enterprises. This fact also
explains the relative quietness of the
January investment demand, usually
active at this time. Current railroad
earnings are more satisfactory than
for many months. Nearly all mining
and metal industries are phenomen-
ally active, and the shares of these
concerns have often witnessed sharp
advances based upon their exceptional
prosperity. AS a whole, the outlook is
decidedly encouraging, but it is recog-
nized that present prosperity may be
of a somewhat transient character,
therefore more or less prudence will
have to be injected into excessive
financial operations extending into the
future"

NOT FOR LEXINGTON!
Kansas Hustling City Can't Stand
Drunk Mexicans.

Mexican consuls and state officials
are too sensitive about the law en-
forcement policies adopted in certain
towns. That is the opinion of the
mayor of Harrington, VIII otoday wrote
to Governor Capper in response to a
complaint that the citizens had driven
a few MeXicans off the townsite.
Some days ago Jack Danciger, Next
can consul at Kansas City, complained
to Governor Capper that the town OF
Harrington didn't have sufficient privi-
leges to the peace and liberty loving
Mexicans Danciger, who is said to be
a member of a firm engaged in the
sale of certain liquids, grew eloquent
concerning the mistreatment of Mexi-
can laborers in Harrington. He assert
ed that several patriotic, peace loving
and law abiding Mexicans had been
driven from the town and intimated
that diplomatic relations were near the
straining point.
This morning a letter came from the
mayor of Harrington. He indicated
that the chasing of a few Mexicans
was a laudable outdoor winter sport
and that the men in question had Vio-
lated a few sacred town ordinances.
"They put on a number of organized
town drunks," the town mayor eX-
planned AS for the Mexican who filed
the complaint it was asserted that he
left town to avoid arrest. The eX-
PLANTATION is yet vague and indefinite
and uncertain and maybe il will please
Consul Danciger and maybe it won't.
In the meantime, though, Mexican
laborers are camping a safe distance
beyond the Harrington townsite.

THE PERIL OF CHINA.

The integrity and independence of
China. and equal opportunity for the
commerce and industry of all nations
in China, writes DIR. Gilbert Reid in
the January Case and Comment, are
tasks committed to a combination of
four powers,-Japan, the leader and
fnitiator: Great Britain. Russia. and
France. Our own country follows at
a distance. Japan leads, though others
know it not. The fact of such a COM
bination is more significant than the
objects they profess. The objects are
wide and benevolent; but the combina-
ton betokens trouble and antagonism
for China. For these four powers to
agree among themselves to work to-
gether, even in the laudable effort OF
keeping open the door to the enter
prise of all nations, in all parts OF
China, in fact suggests that all but
these four powers will have hard

CURLEY SAYS ASSAULT
Alleged Bombardnent of MCCULLOUGH
Home Is Threshed Out.

James Curley entered a plea of
guilty of assaulting Leonard McCul-
louch, 211 Jackson street. in the dis
trict court this morning. Curley's trial
began this morning in the first divi-
sion of the district court on a charge
of assaulting young MCCULLOUGH with
intent to kill.
Curley is a brother of Mrs McCul-
louch, the boys mother, according to
county officials. He was staying al
the MCCULLOUGH home in December
when one evening he came home un-
der the influence of drink, according
to testimony. Following an exchange
of words with Mrs. MCCULLOUGH he
went away but in about a half hour
returned. States witnesses say he had
a shotgun and demanded entrance to
the house and upon refusal began
bombardment. In the meantime Leon
ard MCCULLOUGH left the house and
started to hunt for a policeman.
Three shots were fired by Curley. it is
said The first ripped into the corner
of a house next door, the second went
in the general direction of Leonard
MCCULLOUGH and the third damaged
window in the second story of the Nc
Gu louch home, so witnesses testified.
When the state completed its evil
dence Curley was given a chance to
plead to plain assault. This he did.
The maximum penalty for an assault
charge is one year in Jail or $500 fine.

AMBITIOUS HOLLY BERRIES.

the holly berries grow there lived
holly bush which was very ambitious
So ambitious was she that she re-

berries than any holly bush has ever
before made. Ard then all the world
will come and see my work and /

SO she set about the business of
growing the best she knew.
She painted her leaves with a beau
tiful shining gloss: she stained her
berries a bright scarlet and made
them perfect. and large and shining.

at its height, her leaves and berries

Now" she sai6 to herself COM

And sure enough, something did
happen.
Traders came along through the
wood where the holly bush grew;

bush of branches which they sent
north for the Christmas markets
Then. after the long journey shut
up in u box. customers came and
bought the holly branches and with

TAFT FOR SUPREME COURT.

A report from Washington has it
that some of President Wilson's ablest
advisers have urged him to appoint
"llllam II. Taft to the supreme court
vacancy resulting from the death of
Justice Lamar. 1t is pointed out that
the president could find no ADLER judge
and no man whose experience has so
well fitted him for service on the high
est tribunal of the land 1t was Mr..
Taft's earnest desire to go on the
supreme bench during the Roosevelt
administration and he did not do so
only because he felt that he could bet
ter serve the Filipinos by remaining at
the head of the war department. No
prominent Republican has been more
considerable of Mr.. Wilson both as a
rival candidate for the presidency and
az president Moreover, Mr.. Taft as
president exhibited an absolute indif-
ference to partisan considerations in
selecting members of the supreme
court, having made Justice White, a
Louisiana Democrat, chief justice, and
having appointed Mr.. Lamar and Mr.
Lurton, both Democrats, members of
the court. And so it would be really
no more than returning a compliment
for the Democrats, through President
Wilson, to confer such an honor on
Mr. Taft

A TIME FOR PRUDENCE.

The year opens with an extraor-
binary group of conflicting tenden-
cies," writes Henry CleWs, the New
York banker in his current weekly
financial review. Our home condi-
lions are exceedingly satisfactory and
thoroughly justify reasonable opti-
mism. If we had nothing further to
calculate upon than the effects of
good harvest, a satisfactor bank posi-
ton and a substantial recovery in do
nestle trade. the outlook would be
comparatively clea- and even the
doubts of a presidential year would
NOT be overwhelmingly serious But
the great conflict across the sea is
still raging and remains the one great
dominating factor, injecting a series of
grave uncertainties which unavoidablv
modify all other expectations. 1t
is automatic that war invariably creates
new activities. high prices and general
initiation. We are in the midst of just
such movements as these at the pres
ent time, and they create a sense of
prosperity which is not only transient
bur somewhat misleading ard full OF
pitfalls and dangers. These dangers
must be assiduously watched, if we are
! to escape them or minimize their pen
alties. Initiation is really by far the
| greatest of these hazards, and as a
| rule is based upon either unsounG
expansion of credit or exa ggerat ted
profits. Credit conditions in the
United States already show an enor-
nous expansion, though so far the
danger limit apupears to have been
avoided, because our bankers have
been fully alive to the risks in this
direction. The chief source of infla-
ton has been the bullying profits of a
few industrials whose earnings were
enormously swollen by highly profit
able war contracts. Fortunately. this
danger seems to have been fully real
lied, and strong efforts have been
made to restrain any further unwhole-
some speculation in these speciaIties
When the facts are taken into consid-
Grafton, it is remarkable that a serious
collapse has been so successfully
averted, and this must be credited to
the wide margin of safety with which
many of these war order enterprises
have been financed. Business con.

CALIFoRNIA,s CITRUS CROP.

California has exploited none of her
resources or possibilities more vigor-
ously than. she has her citrus fruit
industry. The pictures that have been
painted of the fortunes that awaited
those who would hike thitherward
and devote their energies to the grow
ing of oranges and lemons have been
as rosy-hued as they have been nu-
merous. A California orange or lemon
ranch has been likened to a veritable
gold mine, and so on and so forth ad
infinitum. And the probabilities are
that the opinion is more or less gem
eral that millions upon millions of dol
lars are being gathered in each year
by those who have been wise enough
to take advantage of the citrus ad-
vantages of California. This is true,
but the millions are not nearly as
numerous as most folk probably think.
The report of the general manager of
the California Fruit Growers exchange
for the year ending August 81, 1915,
states that during that period 40,9S6
cars of oranges and 6,65S cars of
lemons were shipped from California.
And the aggregate returns from these
shipments to the Californians will be
about s19,537,S5O. That's a no incon-
siderable sum, to be sure, but it doesn't
loom up very large against the value
to the Kansas farmers of any of their
major crops. Even the alfalfa crop OF
Kansas for the year 1915 was worth
about 2S,5oO,0OO. California is a
wonderful state, all right. but it does
a little too much Dragging, and is
more or less inclined to deal in gold
bricks L. w /. "
