THE WAR FINANCE CORPORA
MON.

The president has vetoed the reso-
luton to revive the war finance cor
poration, the senate has over-ridden
the veto by a ~ten-to-one vote, and the
house is expected to take similar &C.
ton at once.
The purpose Of the revival Of the
war finance corporation is to aid in
providing means for the marketing Of
domestic products abroad, especially
the marketing of farm products. The
bill Is vetoed on the ground that it is
not calculated to produce the results
desired, and that whatever benefits
are derived will not be sufficient to
offset the disadvantages arising: and
that it is not clear that the same or
larger advantages could not be secur-
ed without government intervention.
The president touches on the cruz
of the whole foreign situation when
he say that while our foreign sales
have increased largely, the reason
that the increase has not been greater
is not because of lack Of financial
ability here, but lack Of surity in E1-
rope. The government has loaned to
Europe about all that it ought to loan
under the circumstances. Private
financial agencies are not carrying
several billions of new European cred
it's. The present resources of Europe
are mortgaged for about all they will
stand. The way out for Europe is not
through increased credits, but through
increased production.
The value Of the revival of the gov
eminent corporation is likely to be
more sentimental than actual. For
the government to undertake to fl
nance exports by means of large ex-
tensions of credit is out Of the ques-
ton. There are now outstanding
against the United States government
ten billion dollars worth Of bonds
which were sold to advance credit to
Europe. That was a war Measure and
ted with us in the val to obtain food,
clothing and munitions of which they
were in desperate need, and it pro-
vided a profitable market for the pro-
ducts of our farms and factories. But
the interest on those bonds is a heavy
annual charge which must be met out
Of current taxation, and the amount
ought not to be greatly increased.
The war finance corporation may
be of actual service in a minor way,
and undoubtedly there is in the minds
p%ectation that it's beneficial influence
on the morale of the business situation
will extend far beyond the limits Of
it's actual operations.

THE AMERICAN sUsPENDs.

Announcement was made yesterday
of h suspension of the Grand Forks
American, and there was no issue of
that paper yesterday. A statement
by Manager Brown, published in an
other column, declares the publish
ing company to be solvent, and at
tributes the suspension to inability to
make collections, owing to the unfa-
vorable financial conditions at the
present time. What further steps
are to be taken will be decided at a
meeting of the stockholders to be held
in the near future.
During the past few years the per-
centage of mortality in the newspaper
business has been very high. Ad-
vancing costs in both labor and ma
tcrials have increased the total cost of
production almost incredibly, and in
many cases it has been impossible to
provide income to meet these costs.
The result is that hundreds OF papers
have either suspended entirely or been
consolidated with others. ,
LAAS S4H SLdIlCu OuL uuQGT
conditions as favorable as could well
be imagined. Housed in a new
building, and with equipment much of
which was selected new for its use, its
stock was distributed among several
hundred people, most of them farm
ers. This distribution of ownership
insured a wide and friendly interest
in the success of the enterprise from
its very inception. The financial
s%tringency of which Mr. Brown speaks
has existed for only a few months.
Nevertheless, suspension has been
found necessary.
Aside from all other considerations.
the incident supplies one more item
of evidence to the effect that to pub
fish a newspaper and make it pay ex-
penses is not as Easy a task as is often
imagined.

of ours on Long Island, but she did
not go there. To tell you the truth,
MIR. Brooke, Annette is rather a little
daredevil, you know. Not wicked.
Oh. no. And the sweetest, dearest
child In the world. But most uncon-
vehtional, and apt to do wild, harum-
scarum things.
II knew that for some time she
had carried on a clandestine CORE
spondence with someone here in New
York, and, to tell the truth, I feared
she would elope with someone not
worthy Of her. Consequently, as soon
as she left Chicago I started to fol-
low her. You know how the trip was
interrupted" She paused. and an ex-
preston Of sadness came into her
eyes. "Poor Clemence!" she added.
Il felt that 1 must go back with her
body. She had a brother in Chicago.

said Brooke. She'll be surprised to
see you, I dare say"
: For just q little the girl gazed
thoughtfully into vacancy.
II do hope" she said at length,
that she hasn't done anything fool
ish. Tell me, MI. Brooke, have you
heard anything?"
For just a brief moment he was
und ecided how to answer She had
put the question to him directly, and
he did not want to tell her all un-
truth.
Unless I am very na1ch mistaken

Jack Moore than anyone else"
Constance Colby clapped her hands
in pleased animation.
ooh. I'm SO glad!' she cried de-
lgihtedly. :" was afraid-awfully
afraid-that it was someone else, that
I might be too Late"
When, however, her next question
came, evasion was less easy.
And now" she said persuasively,
you must tell me what will happen
to this Mumford and his a~ccon1plice,
the Jew. Mr.. Moore couldn't give me
any satisfaction concerning them"
Brooke looked away from her, di-
rectine his gaze towards one of the
open port holes.
"They are under lock and key,
aren't they?" she persisted.
"They were," Brooke answered,
truthfully enough.
"And-oh. l shan't have to appear
against them. shall II"
Il hardly think So" he told her.
I'm glad Of that. Still, they
should be punished, OF course. I sup
pose someone will make complaint.
Is Mr.. Moore going to, or you?"
1--WE haven't settled that point"
Brooke prevaricated.
IF my father were in New York he
would see that they received what
they deserved"
He'll be there today, I think"
He will?"
YES. Your sister said as much"
In this commonplace fashion their
conversation meandered. There was
little in it significant of the character
of either, yet each felt that they knew
the other better when it was finished.
The awe which had been part OF
Brooke's admiration in the little In
diana farmhouse no longer entered
into his intercourse with the girl. He
felt that he had known her a long
while. and that he understood her,
and that she understood. him. Her
beauty magnified in his sight-and it

COTTON OPENED
BARELY STEADY

NEW YORK, July 6.-There were
reactions in the cotton market today
which reflected profit taking after
yesterdays sharp advance and hedge
selling. After easing off to 1888 for
October or about 2s points below last
nights closing figures on the favor
able weekly weather report, however,
prices steadied in sympathy with the
better tone Of the late stock market
october closed at 1850 bid, with the
general list steady at a net decline of
only to II points.
The market opened barely steady st
a decline OF to is points owing 20
easier Liverpool cables and Southern
selling. The latter was not much In
evidence after the first half hour and
there were moderate rallies during the
middle of the morning on trade buy
ing, but offerings became heavier on
the report of the weather bureau in
dicating that the crop had made good
progress during the week. July broke
to 1856 and December to 1885, or
20 to % points below last nights clos
ing figures following its publication,
while there was also favorable COM
AAAC4AL OAA the utLd4lGu weather reports
for the day. These features failed to
inspire any general or aggressive SELL
ing, however, and the market firmed
up during the afternoon on renewed
covering, trade and Wall street buy
ing. July rallied to 1876 aud Deem
Der to 1903, closing within a few
points of the best. Private cables
attributed the decline in Liverpool fu-
lures to increased hedge selling but
said there was an improving trade
demand and Manchester advices indi-
Gated increasing activity in goods
The larger sales reported in the south
ern spot markets at the advances Of
yesterday were considered response
bic for the hedge selling both in Liv-
erpool and New York, and notwith-
standing the easier ruling of futures,
local brokers said they found a more
bullish average of sentiment in COM
mission house circles owing TO the
small crop estimate of last week and
the continued full exports. Exports
for the first three days of this week
have amounted to over 5000 bales
