Dawes Defenders Protest Over1nuch
 Their Hero's Innocence
By FRANK E. WOLFE

Trust Company and asked General
 Dawes, then it's president, whether the
 Central Trust Company would cash the cashiers check of the La Salle Street
 National Bank for $1 100000. The Title
 and Trust Company as receiver handed it to the auditor, who counted 250O00 stating that the bank had adequate assets in the form of notes and other securities, but did not, of course, keep on hand the entire amount of it's cap ital and, surplus i'll currency, and to
 call in cash would require the calling
 in of notes and an annoyance to the banks customers.
 General Dawes replied that he
 would cash the check with pleasure. MT. Lorimer asked what would be the
 charge General Dawes replied, Moth ing that he would do 1t as an act of
 courtesy. A cashiers check of the National bank was thereupon drawn, the auditor and MT. Lorimer. came
 with the check to the Central Trust Company, presented the same for pay ment and the cash was delivered to MT. Lori1ner in the presence of the
 auditor and by and by Lorirner handed to the auditor, who counted 1t and handed 1t back to MT. Lorimer.
 "The money< was returned to the
 Central Trust Company, and the cashiers check of the national bank
 taken up. A certificate was issued,
 certifying that the La Sa11e Street
 Trust and Savings Bank was duly organized
 Quite so. Precisely, that and noth- ing else Mfr Dawes knew what the law was. He willingly and knowingly violated the state laws. To credit him with ignorance of the law Is to brand
 him as stupid and guileless. MT. Dawes is not that.
 It was not a technical violation of the law. It was real, deliberate and intentional act on the part of both Lorimer and Dawes and the depositors
 and the judges who. have just said so in their decision and MT. Lorimer and
 MT. Dawes know 1t. / So does any sane man who will give 1t minutes thought.
 The contention that MT. Dawes had not the slightest intention to aid a
 fraud is not even. spacious. It is in
 sincere and unconvincing and despite
 Mr. Payne's former high standing, does not carry weight.

RAIL WAGES LOWER;
 PROFITS INCREASE

New York, Oct 25-With profits reaching record heights, class 1 rail- road report lowering of wages for July As compared with July last year, the wage cut, through a decrease of employees, tota1ed $25,27e,900. The number of employees have been low cred 181, 1,573, or 9.3 per cent, while wages decreased $25279, 900, or 9.7 per cent.
 Reports to the interstate commerce commission show that for this July the cost per freight train-ni1e and the cost per passenger train-nile have been lowered.
 When the railEoad brotherhoods were asking for the eight-hour day, that eliminated in the Adamson law, they insisted that if freight trains were speeded up the railroads would be benefited, as would the public. Dur ing the past year railroad arrangements have been abandoning old practices, ;! and their profit sheet indicates that the workers claim is correct.
 In manye instances these profits are reaching their highest levels. Net gains for the Chesapeake & Ohio will amount to $11, 100000 for the year. a. against last years previous record of $8,o7o,43O It IS estimated that profits for the Erie railroad will reach the $1O,OOO,O00 mark Officials of the Norfolk & Western predict 9 per cent profit on their common stock. Similar reports are made by the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Delaware & Hud son, Lackawanna, and other systems.

Defenders of Dawes are protesting overmuch. They are scrambling the whole defense with their loud cries about the innocence of their hero.
 It is admitted by the most earnest protestants that Dawes broke the banking laws of Illinois in the matter of compromising an unlawful act with William Lorimer when the candidate for vicepresident supplied the La Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank with funds of the Central Trust Com pany to the amount of $l,25O,OO0 which was used as a dummy" fund to convince the state auditor that the bank had an adequate supply of cap tal and surplus to lawfully permit the institution to change over from a ma tiona1 to a state bank.
 According to statement issued by for the illegal acts of Dawes, the lat ter did something that many other bankers have done in the past-in fact, he indicates 1t Is a common custom!
 He says it is practiced frequently and that it was not an intentional violation of the law"
 When the Lorimer bank busted no doubt Mir Lorimer did not intention ally bust it, but 1t was just as busted, so far as the depositors were con- cerned, as if the act was intentional.
 In fact the depositors did not con- sider MT. Lorimer's inadvertent and unintentional acts as entirely blame less. They got action, The Chicago Title and Trust Company as receiver for the Lorimer bank and The Gen. tral Trust Company (Mr. Dawes Bank for $1,OOO,000, charging that by supplying the dummy capital 1t had violated the state banking laws, and therefore should be held responsible to the creditors. Recently the case was decided in favor of f'the plaintiff and MT. Dawes bank must pay some thing like $100O00
 Let us have some of MT. Payne's own words by way of explanation:
 When application was made to or ganize the state institution, the au- ditor stated to MT. Lprimer that 1t was the practice to require the actual cash capital and surplus of the proposed organization to be presented and counted.
 "Mr Lorimer went to the Central

UNDERMANNED MINES
 CAUSE EXPLOSIONS

Washington, Oct. 25-If operators would employ more men to inspect gases in mines, there would be fewer explosions is the intimation contained in study of 256 coal mine explosions by the United Sites bureau of mines. The explosions occurred in a period of Is years. They killed 4,413 men and injured 570 others.
 Here is the bureaus diplomatic charge that mine are undermanned:
 While fires bosses generally try to examine for gas before the men enter the mine in the morning, sometimes, owing to there being too many work ing places to inspect, or to taking chance, some place is neglected, with the result that miners entering therein with open lights ignite an accumula- tion of gas. The period lapsing be- tween the time of inspection and men entering workings is often too long, and although a working place may be clear when examined, a fall or other cause may result HI all dCCc4lIIIidlIOI of gas which is accidentally ignited.
 The area assigned to each fire boss should not be too extensive. In some states each working place must, by law, be examined within three hours before it is entered by the oncoming shift. To do this within the area as signed but perfunctory examination can be made in some cases, because 1t is physical impossibility for man to cover the ground in the time re- quired.
 One explosion, costing nearly 100 lives, without doubt was indirectly caused by the evident inability of the fire boss to inspect his section. In fact, it was stated at the time of the ex- p1osion that two fire bosses had form er1y been employed for the same section"

TEXANS ARE CONFIDENT
 MRS. FERGUSON WILL BE
 STATES BEST GOVERNOR

Ferguson. The first is, that she is woman of culture and rehnment; the next that she is a shrewd, quick think ing clever and keen minded woman. Of her honesty and faithfulness no doubt will enter the mind.
 After the first few minutes conversa- ton one learns that she is thoroughly versed on the duties and obligations of the office of governor. She was in that life and knew the inner-most working of the office. She has lived in the executive mansion at Austin and will not go into new or strange surround ings there.
 "It will be going home again." she said simply. "Why, was driving down from the capitol grounds the other day and 1 caught myself almost turning to- ward the mansion that was so long my home"
 Try to get one word or whisper out of her about what will be the policy of the next administration or what will be
 
 Try that and see what quick witted, clever diplomat you are talking to. You will get the impression your are trying to pry something loose from the set jaws. of British diplomat It simply can't be done
 On ordinary subjects Mrs. Ferguson is exceedingly well informed and she unhesitatingly expresses herself in well chosen language and agreeable persif- age. There is no hesitancy and she is not slow in taking sides and supporting issues when it is question not involved fee of governor.
 The invitation to call at the capitol and the executive mansion after the in auguration was cordial and sincere One can hardly entertain an idea of missing that pleasure. Until that time there is likelihood of getting great deal of ex- pression about public affairs from the next governor.
 Mrs. Miriam Ferguson will make the best governor Texas has ever had"
 That is a common expression and can be heard in home, in business establish ments, on the streets of the cities and hamlets of the state The rural districts are solidly of this opinion And every body believes it.

 ''The-new one and the youngest one," said with rare flash of tact and di- plonacy.
 She arose and extended her hand in warn1p sincere and cordial grasp. She was dressed in simple house gown of crisp black and white gingham. It was ideal for office wear, especially con- sidering the dusty and musty newspaper office that it was.
 You are looking right at her," she said laughingly.

MACDONALD WILL
 WIN; SAYS BRADY
American Delegate to English Labor
 Hopeful.

New York, Oct, 25.-The power of the labor government will be increased through the English election the last of this month Tn the opinion of Peter J. Brady president of the Federation Bank, New York, who has returned from attending the British Trades Union Congress at Hull as fraternal delegate of the American Federation of Labor.
 Brady quoted A. A. Purcell, presi- dent of the Trades Union Congress, as giving the ideal of British labor as follows: Our aim is not merely to build big unions, but to create an in strument Of solidarity capable of changing the existing structure of cap italist society and bring into existence a workers state"
 Brady stated that the trades unions demands for standardization of land, mines, minerals, railways; A hour week; minimum wage; maintenance of unemployed; training for adults during depression; free education from ele- mentary school to university; compen- sation for industrial accidents and dis ease; pensions for all over 60; pen sions for widowed mothers and depen- dent children will at least find sym pathetic audience by the Labor gov ernment but the actual achievement of the program will depend on finance.

IS 1T ANYBODY'S BUSINESS?
Is it anybody's business
Ii gentleman should choose

Is it anybody's business
Ii a gentleman should choose
To call upon lady
Ii the lady don't refuse?
Or to speak a little palmer,
That the meaning all may know,
Is it anybody's business
Ii a lady has beau2
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman does call;
Or when he leaves the lady?
Or if he leaves at all?
Or is it necessary
That the curtain should be drawn
To save from further trouble
From outside lookers-on?
Is it anybody's business
But the lady's, if her beau
Rides out with other ladies,
And doesn't let her know?
Is it anybody's business
But the gentleman's, if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be?
If persons on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is it anybody's business
Where that person means to call ?
And if you see person,
AS he's calling anywhere,
Is it anybody's business
What his business may be there?
The substance of our query,
Simply stated, would be this:
Is it anybody's business
What another's business is?
If it is, or if it isn't,
We would really like to know;
For we're certain, if il isn't,
There are some who make it so.
If it is. We'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part

Until each meddler learns
'Twould be better in the future
If he'd mind his own concerns.
