was quoted anonymously as discredit-

control of the Nickel Plate, but he de-

Truesdale. however, has several time

Calls for Interest Data

Comptroller of the Currency Will

New York national banks requesting
comprehensive data concerning inter
est rates obtained by the banks on call
loans and business paper. The Comp
troiler asks particularly for the aggre-
gate amount collected by the banks on
call loans in exces of per cent from
January to July 81. He also wants to
know the amount charged by the banks
for paper bought from October last
year to the present time, month by

the data asked for is more oxacting
than any request heretofore made by
the Comptroller and will entail large

The fact that themarket has not yet
responded in an important way to the
increase in railroad freight rates. in
the opinion of Wrenn. Brother & Co.
once more proves how slow the public
and the financial district are in ap-
praising the value of great events.
Regarding the advance the firm says:
The effect should be to raise the earn
ing power Of railroad stocks above the
highest figures recorded during the
war boom, and to the equivalent Of
about 200 per cent OF the average pre-
war earning power. We believe that
as result of this decision railroad
stocks in almost every movement dur
ing the next year or two will lead the

full indeed, whether the rails Will go

!. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands is
one of the conscientious judiciaries
who is opposed to President Wilson's
interference with the sentences inn
posed by him. Last June he sentenced
James A. Dorsey to eight years inn
prisonment for selling several thous-
and head of tubercular cattle upon
forged government certificates and
Mr.. Wilson cut the term in half. Last
week six men were convicted in Judge
Lands court for stealing 600 sacks
of sugar from trains in interstate
commerce, but he refused to sentence
them. The judge said: II cannot
sentence these men with the Dorsey
thing still in my. mind. Dorsey's ac-
tivities ran into the thousands of dol
lars, while these men stole only few
hundred dollars worth of merchan-
disc. I will continue this case indef-
nitely." Had we been in Judge Ian
dis place we should have done exact
ly as he did, for the sentence was not
excessive for the crime committed and
the president should not have inter.
fered in the premises.

The readjustment in prices and
profits now going on in the business
and industrial world furnishes no
justification for pessimism. There
will be no prolonged depression. Just
as soon as a stabilized basis is reached
business is sure to expand and indus
try will be quickened. The great re-
cession in prices and accompanying
decrease in demand for goods are the
inevitable aftermath of the war boom.
The wonder is that it did not come
sooner. Everyone knew it was coming
and some people prepared for it.
Others went on as if the boom in
business and the rise in prices would
continue indefinitely. The readjust-
ment process has wiped out good
many hundred millions of paper
profits" made in the war boom and
has put merchants and producers in
an uncomfortable position. The dis
comfort and distress, however, by con-
trast with the wild flights of war
prices, seem greater than they ac-
tually are.

In no uncertain terms William II.
Taft denounces a writer in Henry
Ford's Dearborn Independent for the
attitude he takes in antagonizing the
Jews. Among other things this writer
says that in the Zion movement Jewish
international bankers seek only world
domination, which Mr.. Taft rightfully
denies. The Zion movement, started
by such philanthropists as Baron
Hirsch, is a plan to assist Hebrews to
own lands in Palestine and settle
thereon to the end that they may have
a country they may call their own
in other words, to resurrect the Jewish
nation. There can certainly be no
base conspiracy in this. 'There is not
the slightest ground for anti-Semit-
ism among u.s." says Mr.. Taft. ut is
a vicious plant. It is noxious weed
that should be cut out. 1t has no place
in free America, and the men who
seek to introduce it should be con-
demned by public opinion"

The Light of the FREELY.

The hint of the new heatless light
that is yet to be discovered comes from
the freely. Hundreds Of laboratories
are today trying to discover the in
sect's secret. No one has yet been
able to tell how the FREELY does it, yet
it seems to be to her as simple as to
us is the turn of the wrist.
We do know already from careful
and prolonged scientific tests that this
light is produced with about one four
hundredth part of the energy that is
expended in the flame of candle.
What insect can do man can do. When
man does the world viii have made
wonderful advance in the science OF
illumination. The firefy's light is said
to be the most efficient form Of light
ing known. If it could be understood
and put to work it is calculated by
physicists and chemists that the ener-
gy expended by a boy in driving
bicycle would be sufficient to light
miles of street lamps.
This is the problem of the future
the discovery of the heatless light, the
finding of the secret Of the glowworm.
Doubtless the thing is concealed some
where in the depths of the atom and
some chemical genius, fumbling intel
Iligently with the keys of science, will
some dav turn the wards of the lock
of the mystery and the wonderful
light will suddenly glow out under his
trembling hands. 1t is a date in the
worlds history worth living for.

In commenting on Josephus Daniels

spelling in the navy department the
Preston Times truly says: Popular
sentiment blocks the path Of the spell
ing reformers and for very good
reasons. English spelling may be far
from perfect, but it is at least intelli-
gible, while the proposed changes are
not only confusing but are in them
selves uncouth and hideous to the ex-
tent of provoking merriment and de-
rision. Instead Of really simplifying
and improving they complicate and
distort." Yet, withal, many of the
boards Of education in the country
permit the teaching of this assinine
photography in the public schools. It
is high time that the abomination
were prohibited in our institutions OF
learning, where faddists have permit.
