DISREGARDED THE LAW
Secretary Shaw Aided His Banker Friends. LOST TEMPEH WHEN CRITICISED Made No Attempt to Carb Lawbreaking by Frenaied Financiers Sympathy AU For Wall Street—lnterests of the Common People Neglected and Ignored. What Secretary Shaw terms a “national epidemic to loan money” lust summer is the cause of the late money squeeze in Wall street, where the rate of interest mounted to 100 per cent on the last days of the old year. “Now from all over the country,” says Secretary Shaw, “these people are calling for their money.” He seems to hold a grudge against “these people” because they are now asking the Wall street bankers to repay the money which has been on deposit with them for mbntbs and on which they only received 1 or 2 per cent Interest. Secretary Shaw treats the banks much better than “these people” do, for he has deposited all the available money of the people that has been paid as tariff and internal revenue taxes with the national bankers without charging them one cent of interest and is evidently sorry the people have not been more taxed so that he could further relieve the necessities of the stock gamblers, for he further says, “The Kansas farmer damns the New Yorker who buys stocks and the Kansas banker curses at the Wall street financier who does not return his money the moment it is called for.” It seems that Representative Bourke Corkran criticised tlje treasury department for “assisting a vicious system” in depositing money in Wail street, which was quoted to Secretary Shaw, who wrathfully replied: “Bourke Cockran knows as much, about that as he does about 25(1 other 1 things on which he is continually talking. He knows as much about finance as he does about running a steamship. I suppose if the sum total of human knowledge were blotted out tonight Bourke Cockran could supply It tomorrow morning.” Most of us who have followed Secretary Shaw’s* career as secretary of the treasury have noticed his close connection with Wall street and the frenzied financiers who run most of the banks in that region and bls anxiety to aid them. It has been also noticeable that Secretary Shaw has not enforced and does not enforce the law of the land against his banker friends, who are continually breaking it, for in an interview regarding the Walsh failure in Chicago Secretary Shaw Is reported to have said: “That part of the banking ISJL Prohibiting the loanlng_of _ more
than 10 per cent of the capitalization to one man may have been violated. That is not a criminal violation, and all that can be done is to liquidate the bank and pay off the depositors. The violation of that law by one bank Is no more than has been done by almost every bank in the country.” This utter disregard for a law which congress, as Secretary Shaw should know, especially enacted to prevent frenzied financiers of the Wall street band from borrowing more than they could pay if a pinch came was for the protection of the public. Secretary Shaw evidently fears the criticism of Representative Bourke Cockran on that and other numerous sins of omission, commission and ignorance he has committed and thinks to belittle those who call attention to his mistakes and lawbreaking and who are honestly trying to protect the public. It is hardly necessary to defend Bourke Cockran from a charge of ignorance, for there is probably no public man who studies questions on which he speaks more than he, and no one excels him in forcible and clear statement. Bourke Cockran's little finger knows more than all of Shaw's body. President Roosevelt should demand the resignation of this conceited ignoramus he has allowed so long to incriminate and disgrace his administration or he will be blamed when the crash comes for the sins of Shaw which the frenzied financiers have induced him to commit. As it is now, the bankers, with the connivance of Shaw, are nearly all violating the law. Is that a square deal?
Elkins and Railroad Rates.
Quoting the statement of the Kansas City Star (Ind.) that while Senator Elkins may not safely be looked to for a good rate bill “it is gratifying to note that he has come a long way toward meeting the overwhelming sentiment of the country, no longer talks about defeating legislation and practically concedes a number of points urged by the president," the Commoner asserts, “If ever the time comes that Senator Elkins and Mr. Roosevelt agree upon a rate bill Mr. Roosevelt will have made the material concession, while Senator Elkins will be found doing business at the old stand.”
Admit Lawbreaking.
The railroads are all declaring their intention to observe the Elkins law against rebates hereafter, which shows as well as open confession they have been breaking the law. As soon as the Democrats come into power they will have to observe another law against unreasonable rates.
Trusts Keep Ahead.
The steel trust has at last raised the wages of its workmen 10 per cent, but the cost of living has increased 40 per cent, and the tariff still protects the steel trust over 50 per cent, so the trust still keeps ahead of the game.
“After Yon, Gentlemen.”
The French at Fontenoy, sheltered by the ridge, could scarcely believe their eyes at the sight of the English gunners slewing round their pieces to cover them. When they at length realized that It was one of the enemy’s and not one of their own batteries the officers of the Gardes Francals rushed to the head of their men, shouting to them to deploy and charge the cannon. Almost at the same moment the grenadiers cleared the hilltop and began to descend upon him. It was then ttiat there occurred that wonderful meeting which has charmed so many generations of readers. Every one knows the description of the scene for which Voltaire was indebted to D’Argeson; how the French officers, in their blue and silver coats and their long scarlet vests and stockings, waited the approach of the grenadiers, hat in hand; how the redcoats doffed their marvelous shield fronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay bowed to the opposing line, with the words, “Gentlemen of the French guard, please to fire first!” to which the Comte d’Anteroche replied: “Gentlemen, we never fire first. Fire yourselves!” Such was a battle of the grand age as pictured by the aristocrat who saw the universe reflected in the mirrors of the Oeil de Boeuf, but in the Lothian papers there is a yellow letter, written by Hay, in hospital after action, which gives a ruder and, it is to be feared, more natural version of the story.—London Spectator.
Easy Enough.
“From time immemorial,” said a Louisville Judge, “southern people have been lavish in bestowing titles. I think there is something in the southern temperament which explains this. I didn’t start out on this, however, for a philosophical disquisition, but rather to tell how a certain Kentucky gentleman established valid title to the rank of colonel. He went to Cincinnati once with a friend who enjoyed many acquaintances in the Buckeye metropolis and who introduced him to every one as Colonel Brown. Everything went along smoothly until finally one Cincinnatian asked of the introducer: “ T suppose your friend. Colonel Brown, was in the Confederate army.’ “ ‘No, sir; he was not.’ “ ‘Well, then, he fought on the Union sldet “ *You are wrong there too.’ “ ‘Oh, I see now. He got his tide by serving in the state militia?’ “ ‘No; he never entered the militia.’ “ "Then how in thunder did he get to be a colonel ?* “ ‘He drew a sword, sir, at a church fair!* ’’—Washington Post Cows at Calviar Timo. Never feed a cow heavily Just before dropping a calf. Heavy feeding then, especially if it is heating food, may cause inflammation, or garget, in the udder. Though a cow should not be fed heavily just before calving, she should be well fed.
ENSARING VICTIMS.
Steps Should be Taken at Once to Prevent Further Trouble. Here in Rensselaer, as in other cities and towns, dyspepsia or stomach troubles are ensaring victims in a most insidious way. Nearly every mother’s son of us and daughter, too, expects the stomach to accustom itself to all manner of ill-treatment, but the time comes when we cannot abuse it with impunity. How much better it would be to take steps at once to strengthen the stomach and prevent further trouble. Use Mi-o-na now and soothe the irritated walls of the stomach and strenghten the gastric follicles so that they will pour out their daily supply of digestive materials with regularity. Then the headaches, sleeplessness, specks before the eyes, poor appetite, tired feelings and nervousness will disappear, and you can eat what you want at any time you like. Mi-o-na is a combination of remedies, some of which are but little known in this country, and is a positive guaranteed cure for all diseases of the stomach excepting cancer. Just one little tablet out of a 50 cent box before meals, for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength, and have no fear of indigestion or stomach troubles. Ask B. F. Fendig to show you the guarantee under which he sell this remedy.
