Newspaper men who run the far

said that( for the first time, they are

The farmer neither dictates nor DOM

truth, and that opens its columns to
those who wish to be heard on any

AFFAIRS OF

The Fight on Williams
Another Treaty Foe
Remedies for Unrest
League and Minnesota

If John Shelton Williams had been
content to be the usual comptroller
of currency, if he could have set
quietly alongside of a huge mass of
fostering, respectable crime, his reap
pointment would not now be ques-
toned in the United States senate.
But Williams had moral scruples and
respect for his oath of office.
He found that about 1900 of the
1000 odd national banks were prac-
ticing unlawful usury as we'll as that
of the lawful kind, and he told the
people about it. He told US how $94.5O
of every $100 Of our business was
transacted by means of credit instru-
ments and not by money this new cur
rency of ours being entirely controlled
by the money trust. He found that
the evil Of making loans to bank di-
rectors contrary to law was wide
spread, and he began a fight against
it. The worst case which he discov-
cred through the failure of a stock
brokerage firm in New York City, that
of the Riggs National bank of Wash
ington, D. c., he prosecuted in the
courts.
Now lobby headed by this bank
and appealing to many senators is
exposing his 'unfitness" for office.

MIR. AND MRS. SMITH TO CITIES

MIR. AND MRS. SMITH TO CITIES.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Smith of Catlin
Smith & Co. left Saturday evening for
Chicago, where they will attend the
Semi-annual Buying Convention Of the
Retailers Commercial Union, which
takes place at the Palmer House, COM
mencing Monday morning, July 21st.
The r. C. u. system Of buying mer-
chandise has developed until it places
the Catlin Smith & Co. as well as the
other seven hundred members OF this
large organization on an equal foot
ing with the larger buyers in the coun-
try.
A number of their buyers spend sew
eral weeks in the eastern manufactur-
ing centers, placing contracts and
making arrangements for the conven-
tion. Each individual merchant will
then take his. own selection as to size,
styles, quantities, etc, at the conven-
tion and these combined orders are
turned over to the manufacturer for
him to fill. This gives him an oppor-
tunity to dispose Of all or a large part
of his seasons output without the
cost Of travelling men with their rail
road fare and expenses, besides the
office force required to handle. the
business in that manner. This not only
secures for store like Catlin Smith
& Co. the net first cost Of the mer-
chandise and enables them to meet
competition with Mail Order, or other
large concerns, but it also places them
in contract with lines Of goods that
would otherwise not be seen outside OF
the larger cities. -,
M. and Mrs, Smith expect to be
gone about ten days and will have
many items Of interest for their Gus
toners when they return. They have
promised the Courant to drop us q
line and tell us all about what they
see at the big city.

Eleven prominent ministers of tho
gospel in New York City have made
a splendid beginning toward removing
that growing impression that even
churchmen are becoming tied up with
the forces Of lawless privilege. Their
voices have not been heard as much
as they should have been on what
these II call violence recently en-
ployed in the name of patriotism" and
"allowed to go unpunished by the au-
thorities and even praised by leaders
in government and in the press"
They suggest three steps as reme-
dies:
Z "1. That all men and women Of
good will set themselves to influence
public opinion through every avail
able medium against lawless meas
ures by whomsoever they may be en-
ployed. & q
ss2. That all men be maintained in
their right to a fair, impartial trial
and that the people set themselves
against counsels Of hate.
"3. Since, in the judgment Of the
attorney general Of the Cnited States,
existing laws against cri'nulal terror
ism are adequate AMI since free dis
cussion is essential for the exposure
Of economic and political errors, that
the attempt be abandoned to coerce
minority opinion 50 long as it does
not promote disorder, or to defeat So
cial change by repressive legislation.' -
These ministers, among them the
president Of the Union Theological
seminary and the dean Of the Cathe-
dral Of st. John, here suggest topics
for some splendid sermons by local
clergy here Ii the Northwest, where

n1ainAd of have been common.
