Business Money

The commercial paper market yes
terday was quiet. One broker reported
fair buying by New England banks.
There is a scarcity of good names. A
really good name will usually sell on
the day it comes in; ordinary names
take their regular course. Some bro
kers note an easier tendency in the
market. They can sell a little more
paper at 5A per cent than previously.
All such paper sells out of town.
There is no 5A paper bought by New
York banks, and for that matter there
is hardly any 51a paper. But brokers
assert they could sell good deal more
if they had it to sell.
The bank acceptance dealers have
the same difficulty. They have to be
more aggressive nowadays in buying
bills than in selling them. They go
for their bills to importers, to ex-
people who hold bills and may want
to resell them. But they have been un-
able to turn up the bills, and are
getting discouraged. One dealer re-
marked yesterday that if new names
did not come in soon they would have
nothing to offer.
The call money rate was down first
to 411 and then to per cent yester-
day, condition which usually creates
heavy demand for bills. There was
such demand on the part of one
large bank, which took an unusual
quantity, but from the others the de-
mand did not seem to be good. The
usual result or concomitant of low call
money rates is both better demand
for acceptances and the appearance of
fewer acceptances. 1t is when call
money rates are high that the low rate
obtainable by borrowers for accept
ences is likely to bring bills out.
There is a good deal Of difference
of opinion as to the effect which the

Close to $3,OOO,OO0 worth of carpets

of merchandise sold, amount realized
and attendance that ever has been held
by the firm.
The most spirited bidding Of the sale
developed during the last hour of the
auction yesterday. Buyers took all the
merchandise they could get, but the
large jobbers, as q rule, froze the
smaller retailers out by taking in large
quantities on the first bid satisfacto
to the auctioneer. Prices, on the whole,
were firm and compared favorably with
those obtained during the previous two
days.

Following the close of the auction
sale the company announced its new
list prices for fall, 1919. Taken gen.
orally, the new list price shows a re-
duction of about 10 to 1914 per cent
from the prices announced October 1
last.
Following are the prices announced
on rugs 9x12 feet size, the trade
standard:

The statement in the trade that re-
tallers and jobbers are anxious to OBJ

out by the fact that prices obtained
at the auction are only slightly below
the new list prices announced yester-

Thrown Silk Prices Higher

AS the thrown silk market here is
influenced largely by the raw silk
market, the cables from Yokohama, of
the last two days have had an effect
of advancing thrown silk prices about
10 cents.
Prices are quoted as follows.

ices are quoted as follows:

The market continues firm, owing
to the scarcity Of high-grade silks in

When Chief Perky had watched the
10000 Driver Ants at work for few
moments, he was astonished. Each
worker had a task to perform. and that
wasn't all--each worker knew Just how
to perform his task. There rere hun
dreds OF Ants carrying clay from the

rived with his load. he didn't stop to
talk. but Immediately returned for an

THE NEGRO QUESTION NORTH.
Editorial Cor. Des Moines Register
To deal sensibiy with this question
and the whole negro problem in gem
erai. we must lay aside all of our
pre)udices and recognize some eleinen-
tary facts at the outset. Important
among these IL the negroes inferiority
70 the white race. The Almighty made
him that way, and several centuries
must cycle by before the negro can
reach the intellectual and moral stand
ard of the white race: in fact evolu-
ton will have ito slip cog In Cuff
fy's" favor for him to ever reach the
white mans standard. Then why not
be candid and recognize this fact--it Is
no disgrace. not even for the negro to
claim his inferiority.
Again. this Is the white mans coun-
try 1t belongs to him. and the white
man must rule It. Interminable trouble
has arisen because lot OF over jealous
yet ignorant white people have tried
to put the negro on the same footing,
politically and socially, with the white
race. 1t can not be done.

SENTENCING A DEGENERATE.
TSioux City Journal


When the district court imposed n lie
sentence on q degenerate who had en-
tered a plea of guilty to murder sur
rounded with such revolving purposes
on the part Of the murderer that hu-
mainly shudders at their hideousness'
Justice, stern but within the law, was
administered. The court took the pre-
caution to convince itself that thore
was no insanity in the criminal at the
time the Judge imposed the sentence,
which would make the prisoner ire
sponsible for his plea. The wisdom OF
this precaution is apparent. But II Is
to this point TO which public attention
needs to be directed.
Any individual who commits an ap-
normal crime. one In which the normal
intelligence and emotions OF mankind
do not enter, might be termed insane.
Homicide, In the heat Of passion Justly
aroused, might properly be accepted as
the act of an individual temporarily in
sane. So might an act committed I'M
der stress Of great emotion, tho the an
ger be not aroused. But these are not
the sort of cases which come under the
classification OF acts of persons insane
at the time. When the crime Is only
the expression of the criminal inciina-
ton; when it's meaning Is understood
by the criminal, there may be insanity,
but not the sort which excuses or JUS
titles the act. Courts can not impose
sentences on those who are mentally
incapable of understanding what they
do at the time. Nor can they punish
those who were in that mental condi-
ton at the time the crime was COM
mitted. But they can check and defeat
the practice which has grown up in the
last few years of wranglins FOR days
over the mental condition of the GRIM
inal on trial. whose insanity is either
faxed or adopted as means OF escap-
ing the responsibility Of his acts. The
practice has become so abominable that
the public is convinced the alienists

Ottumwa is in difficulty with her

However. the street car company

Granting the contention Of the en-

and accepting the operating company's
claim that it can not increase expenses
because of higher operating and main
tenance costs on the pre-war fare, the
proposal OF the company to pay the
increase by operating one man cars
Is q reasonable and Just solution Of the
difficulty. Public utility companiea
have no right legal or ethical to more

the RED BADGE Of BRurarRHoup.

Yes, the war 10 over. but the work OF
the Red Cross is never done.
The long battle lines that seemingly
"ncircled the globe have d%indled TO
minor skirmsh here and there. but
wounds and starvation and calamity
stin lack the tenderness Of helpful
hands and the humanEess Of healing.
The war and its dire necessities
taught US perforce a lesson of human
kindliness. 1t brought to our very
doors a sense OF duty and responsible
ity. We accepted It. We did It unto
the least of these, our brethren.
Let us not forget the lesson OF that
time. Let Us keep alive the new un-
Outstanding that we are the keepers
Of our brothers and that all men are
brethren. owing one to another the
debt OF brotherhood.
Membership in the Red Cross 10 a
small thing considered as to cost. It
is a mighty and marvellous charity In
its aggregate. The dollar that seems
80 slight is a tulcrum whence the
levers Of humanity move a world
1t is sordid soul which has felt
no qualification of its finer and hu-
manitarian impulses because Of mem
bership In the Red Cross. The fact
and the feeling it conveys Of real
part IN the wonderful charity Of the
work is worth more than money. And
this rs such a little money. such a
mite in the great movement, this 100
cents that buys for its possessor and
for the lost and worn and wounded OF
the world such immensely Of purchase.
Let's stay where we bivouacked in

trenches and the parallels OF the Red
Cross. Let's hold our position.
The Red Cross Is q religion wherein
all may share and agree, for It visits

up wounds without question, feeds

mothers and peoples and nations. lts

stretched to the helpless and stricken
wherever water floats a ship or earth
affords a footing. 1t is the avatar 0!
