TO-DAY
FRANCS AND COTTON.
NATURE RAMPAGEOUS.
BOSSING MOTHER BRITANNIA.
HE LOVES SWITZERLAND.
By Arthur Brisbane.

tNOpyTlgnt, 1870
Nothing can be done to stabilize
the price Of cotton. That would be
an economic sin, against the sacred
law of supply and demand" So ydu
are told. and then you read this
morning how Belgium wanted 80 mil
Hons, from Us to stabilize the price
y. the Belgian franc. And the stab
ilizing bonds "wcre offered them"
Why Belgian franc, made Of
pauer, should be better security for
American money than the cotton crop
Of America is for high finance to
say. Belgium sold her $50, 900 900
bonds in New York between 10 and
1O:30 yesterday morning at 500 for a
500 bond. So the buyer pets Z 1-2
per cent on his money and the banks
get their "rakc-off."
We are all glad to help dear Bel
gium, or Mesopotamia, or King Fcisal,
hut what pity we cannot find way
to help the American cotton grower.
He also has some claim on American
sympathy. One trouble is that he is
not able to offer usurious rates Of
interest.
II you really love Belgium you may
find comfort in that word s'usurious."
When the time comes to pay those
bonds, Belgium may truly say, "You
practiced usury on me. Your own
penalty for usury is loss Of the prin-
cipal. Let US see how you like it,"
Any man, big financicr, or little
pawnbr0ker, practicing usury, and
calling it brotherly love, deserves
what he may get. And some Of those
now ''gobbling up" usurious foreign
bonds may not be- 80 happy when the
next little fuss comes in Europe.
Russian 800 bonds are now kick
Ing around Wall Street at $14 apiece
and worth two cents q pound for old
paper unless Russia can be black
mailed into paying them.
II might be wiser in the long run
TO invest in American cotton. The
trouble is that the big fellows pass
the bonds along to little investors,
and they do the crying when the
time comes for repudiation.
The department Of agriculture gets
this nottcs from New Orleans: many
cotton planters are rsporting that
negro tenant farmers refuse to pick
their own cotton on shares at present
prices that pay thS1n no profit and
are moving from 3srms b cities
where they can work for wages.

HAD LIFE OF GRIM

Chicago, Oct. 20 -(Ap) Richard
Evans, 10 years o:d, convicted Of the
murder Of Chicago policeman, was
hanged ut the Cook county Jail at
7:ll this morning.
Before going to the gallows Evans
confessed that he and no. drunken
companion, as he had steadfastly
maintained until six hours before his
execution, shot and killed PatrOlman
Edward Finnegan last March after
the officers arrested the two for
speeding.
Evans remained entirely composed
death march, devoting the later hours
in the death cell to writing notes,
one to the mother who, with his faith
cr, mortgaged a home to obtain de-
tense funds.
COnfesses to. His Family
Throughout the trial the youth
maintained that Otto Hacker, his COM
panion who testified for the state,
shot the policeman but during the
visit Of the family last night, Evans
broke down and sobbed out q con-
fession. Besides admitting killing
Finncgan, he also told police that he
and Hacker had committed 10 rob-
berries before the murder occurred.
The youth. who was described as
having "the face of an angel and the
heart Of a fiend," first came to the
attention of the police ut the age OF
IL when he was convicted of petty
thicvcry and sentenced to reforma-
tory. He had been paroled from Pom
tiac reformatory seven months before
the officer was killed.
The condemned man retained alb
solute composure as he was led from
the cell to the gallows, and when
Sheriff Peter Hoffman asked il he
had anything to say, answered in q
firm voice:
Il want to say that will have paid
my debt to God and society"

Urges new DIGNITY
FOR TRADES WORKERS
Engineer Holds h-Caliber Boys
Shun Industrial Careers
Because of Stigma.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. September 10.
Industrial trades must be given
new dignity and made more attractive
if bows of the right caliber are to be
deyeloped, Harold S. Falk, OF
Milwaukee, told members OF the
American Society of Mechanical En-
pineers here yesterday. He spoke at
the Technical session in connection
with the machine tool eXnloltlon at
Yale University.
"The machinist is as good a man
as the bookkeeper and he gets as
much pay. It remains to make him
as highly respected as member or the
community as the bookkeeper IS.
declared Mr.. Falk. Boys will not go
into the trades until they and their
ma rents feel that the work Is just as
desirable as is clerical work; until the
molder and patternmaker are just
az imnortant in civic organizations
and clubs-and in the eyes OF young
aides too-as the bank clerk ana the
insurance Office man.
The sneaker explained that agencies
which influence the public nina
always idealize the man with the
white collar and never the working
man. and that even teachers
threatened lazy pupils by teliing theM
they will never be anything but mere
workmen If they do not pay more al
tention to studies. He urged manu-
facturers to unite in advertising
advantages of trade apprenticeship.
