hal at 10 Per Cent of Face Value.

Shanghai, Sept. 17,--All of Shang-
hats larger Chinese commercial and
banking institutions have placed ban
upon the latest issue of bonds offered
by their face value. Ii was reported in
Chinese financial circles in Shanghai
that the Picking government brought
out s20000,000 worth of these bonds
after failing TO obtain money for cur
rent needs from Japan or from other
sources.
The attitude of the, commercial and
financial interests in connection with
the bonds was set forth in a telegram
of protest that was sent to the Picking
government. This was signed by 50
local organizations and the Shanghai
street unions, representing all the largr
ell trading guilds of the seaport. In this
message it is pointed out that these
bonds will in time come into the hands
of foreigners who will enforce the de-
mand that they be redeemed at full
face value. .

an editorial urging Mr.. Agan to be
second district against the incumbent,
Porter H. Dale.
That this is move in the interest
of Frederick H. Babbitt is fairly clear,
as the Bellows Falls man is supposed
to have considerable initial strength in
Hartford and Windsor county gener-
ally. The candidacy of James \. Hart
ness of Springfield would naturally
draw considerable strength from Bah
bitt on the east side of the county,
while Agan's candidacy on the west
side would take care of that territory
as against Babbitt or anyone else.
Ergo: How simple for the Babbitt
forces to cline up Mr.. Trainor, secre-
tary of the Local Option league, as a
candidate for congress and thus embar.
rass the Ludlow man by having still
another candidate for high political
honors in the same county? Or if the

SUFFRAGE.

What was the motive of the Repub-

was it merely a move to place the blame
for the situation somewhere besides on

These questions are pertinent in view
of the loud silence which the Republi

NEwBERRY's CONVICTION.

The conviction of Truman IT. New !
berry, junior United States senator

suits 1t first shocks all believers in

to know that the people of Michigan
are subject to sale and barter that the
dollar is mightier than merit in politi-
cal contests and that man with the
creditable record of Mr.. Newberry will
sacrifice his honor to win political pre-
fermcnt. On the other hand it pIeases
these people to know that twelve men
sitting as jury on a man of Mr.. New
bcfry's immense wealth and political
Influence had the courage to return q
verdict of their honest convictions. The
verdict gives powerful warning to all
Americans who would attempt to pur-
chase their election to high public of
flee.
The conviction places the Republican
majority of the senate in an embar-
RAISING position Despite this verdict
of twelve men who have heard all the
evidence and declare him guilty of Sc
