Tbe cotton plant tlrst came to America from Asiat now tbe greater part of tbe Central Asian crop is grown from American cotton seed. The appearance of Admiral Cotton in the streets of Beirut and of his ships in the offing has raised the standing of tbe American consul in the Sjrian city. The Tislble expression of power has an impressive effect upon ignorant people. - The export trade from Alaska for four months ended October 31, 1902, exceeded $20,000,000 and was equal to that form Hawaii for ten months, ending the same date; was three times that of the Philippines, and more than double that of Porto Rico. An orderly liberty, under the equal domination of tbe law, administered in such a way as to teach that 'no man is above it and no man below it," is what President Roosevelt approved in his Laoor day speech. The country will be safe as long as it sticks to that doctrine. A goat fell from a ferry boat in New York and was rescued with much difficulty. He showed his gratitude upon bei eg placed safely on the deck by butting one of bis rescuers out Into tbe dark and chilly water How like the display of human gratefulness in many instances. The first witness called at Topeka in the coal trust investigation, who declined to testify because he could cot do so without incriminating himself, might be arrested as a suspicious character and detained until something could be learned about the incriminating circumstances that he could not reveal. With tbe fat surplus in the Treasury, the demand for improvements in various paru ui iuc wuuii) auu cue willingness generally c f congressmen to help each other out. there are Indications that the coming session of c nsrress will make Tom Reed's bil-Jion-dollar affair look like the enforced pirsimony of hard times. It is announced that the state department will do nothing in the canal matter at present, but wl" keep its own counsel until the policy of Colom. bla has finally been determined. Tbe chances are that it will be a good many decades before Colombia ceases to regret tbe hasty action of her senate In rejecting the treaty. Our old friend, George Nearpass, has discontinued the publication of the ClayDool Herald. He. says he cruld not live on wind. The merchants and business men of Claypool reply that the long experience of Mr. Nearpass in the newspaper business ought to have taught him that tbe town was not large enough to sustain a paper. "' "There is no worse enemy of the wageworker," said President Koose"yelt at Syracuse. N. Y. on Labor Day. 'than the man who condones mob violence in any shape or who preaches class hatred, The wage worker is well off only when tne rest of the country is well off. He can best contribute to to this well being by show ing a firm purpose to do justice to others." Nothing prospers quite so much In times of prosperity as does the labor organization, as was amply shown by the unparalleled numbers marching under the labor banners on labor day. And the leaders that prosper or suffer with their organizations should see to it that labor organization and union exactions do not go to the point of giving the business of the country a backset. Indianapolis Journal. The Labor Day parade in the city oi New York tnis year, was not a a phenomenal success. By actual count there were only 8953 men in line as against 25,000 last year.

"When a government official learns that it Is going to be a race between him and an outsider to uncover frauds, there will be a new record of officials activity. Democratic politicians are said to have agreed that Thomas Taggart of Indiana be chosen chairman of tbe national committee vice James K. Jones of Arkansas. Dun's review of trade says there is increasing activity in nearly all lines of business. Decrease in. labor dis putes and larger railroad earnings are cited as being among among the encoaraging features. Present indications point to tbe nomination of Congressman George B. McClellan as Tammany's candidate for mayor of New York. He is a son of the late General Geo. B. McClellan, democratic candidate for the presidency in 1864 There is quite a stir among the gov ernors just now. Gov. Nash, of Ohio, fainted at a picnic: Gov. Dockery, of Missouri, has cut off his whiskers; Gov. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, has been mentioned for president. Gov. Yates, oMllinois, has beeu subjected to a fresh dose of newspaper abuse. It has practically been decided that Mayor Seth Low is to be renominated as a fusion candidate in Greater New York. There was some objection to him bv democratic reformers, but final acqulescense followed when it was made apparent that be is the choice of tbe most influential elements of tbe fusion movement. A discerning contemporary makes this observation as to conditions in this country: "There Is no field of occupation which is not open to any man with ability and ambition if he essays to enter It. There is no at tainment which is not possible to the numblest laborer if he strives for it in the right way. There is no social distinction which makes a conmon class of capitalists or a common class of la borers.' During the next few months the government will use up the last of the tremendous stock of silver bullion which it was required to purchase under tbe acts that wtre passed at a time when tbe free coinage of silver sentiment was at its height. Tbe exhaustion of this supply of bullion will put i stop to the coinage of the "cartwheel" silver dollars and will also bring up several perplexlog problems which congress will be called on to consider this winter along with the general discussion of the financial legislation. Senator Beveridge 's assurance that there will be no radical legislation on the currency question was in harmony with President Roosevelt's statement in his Labor day speech that "whatever Is advisable in the way of remedial or corrective currency legislation and nothing revolutionary Is advisable under present conditions must be undertaken only from tbe standpoint of the business community as a whole. " This statement undoubtedly met with the approval of tbe bankers, for most of them are intelligent and conservative and believe that our present currency system is good enough to last a longtime without tinkering.. The Winamac Republican has sold a quarter page of space for one year at regular advertising rates to the prohibition party of Pulaski county. The prohibition party of the countv has a committlee to prepare matter for the space, along the lines they are interested in.

Nobod ever beard of the prohibition party purchasing space in a democratic paper. They feem to think there are no temperance men in that party. An important question has just been determined by tbe state and it affects tbe farmers more than other classes. Attorney General Miller has just In formed the state auditor, in response to an inquiry that Farmers' Mutual companies cLnnot insure churches and school bouses against fire. Farmers mutual fire insurance companies are organized under the farmer's mutual law, and tbe question bad arisen in a number if instances whether proper ties aside from those directly connected with farms could be insured. The at torney general says that the statute describes specifically what sort of property may be underwritten, and school houses and churches are not included.

The "Syriern" and the Gambler. . Policeman Max Glasgow, of New York, began about two years ago to work upon a "system" which would enable him to beat the race track bookmakers. He started upon bis scheme after seeing his first race and winning his first bet. The amount that the policeman took from the track after his first investment was not large, but it was enough to make him hanker for more. Wherefore he began to work out the details of his "system." For the purpose of finding out all about the racing and bookmaklog business he .put in much of bis time and all of his earnings at the track. His first winning appears to have been also his last. He went on with a brave heart, bowever, knowing that in. due time he would get his "system" perfected, and then tbe bookmakers would have to suffer. Finally tbe finishing touch was added. The "system" was work ed out. Then they took Policeman Glasgow away to a lunatic asylum. There he is at; at present "skinning" tbe bookmakers and showing how they can be beaten at their own game. Meanwhile his wife and little children are living on charity. Glasgow's case merely shows .the folly of wasting time and mental energy on "systems" that are to deprive the proprietors of 'gambling games of their gains. If a man must gamble away his money let him save himself trouble going and betting it In the usual way. Tbe deadly 'upas tree is no more terrible than the "system" by which the bookmaker and bis fellow artists in the fleecing line are to be beaten. Generally there is a chance or two in a thousand lor the fool who merely goes and bets; but for him who gets to figuring on a "system" there Is no borne.

College Men Shoulo Vote. . Dr. Hughes, president of DePauw University, addresssed tbe Methodist conference at Indianapolis Thursday argued thU teachers and preachers should study public questions. "The college man," . said Dr. Hughes in tbe course of his remarks, "can not live on education In the abstract. Tbe voting statistics of Massachusetts show that in the factory towns on election day, more men go to the polls than in the college towns Shame on college men that this is so. I believe that , if the political caucus comes on the same evening with the prayer meeting the Christian ought to leave the prayer meeting and go to the caucus. It is the duty of every healthy man to go to tbe polls and vote." He said that a man might walk among tbe stars intellectually and yet wallow Id the mud morally. Higher education and Christianity should be. be said, combined, adding tbat in every great; religious crisis God has se lected an Intellectual and an educated leader. Smallpox at South Bend. The South Bend Tribune says that Dillard Tice, boarding at W. Windbigler's, 1133 South Franklin street, was attacked with smallpox about two weeks ago. A few days ago be was released from quarantine and tbe house disinfected, and Thursday the three-year-olo" daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Windblgler came dowa with tbe disease and tbe house and its occupants are again in quarantine. A sister of Mr. Windblgler arrived here a few days ago from Plymouth and Is In quarantine at the Windblgler borne, and it is Impossible to say how many people have been exposed to the disease. Must Be Settled, Not Shirked The negro problem must be tackled and settled, not shirked. The settlement will take all the wisdom we can bring to bear upon it, not for this generation alone, but for generations to come. Such blacks as Booker Washington are making the. most promising cf efforts to settle it. Such wliltes as John Temple Graves are merely retarding the settlement of it and darkening counsel about it when they propound fantastic and exploded projects not for settling It, but for shirking it.

Indiana Guard Likely to Be Changed in Weit PoinV Ky. When the Indiana national guard is settled in the imitation war game at West Point, Ky., the last of this month, it is going to be so shifted that it is doubltful if anybody in tbe state will be able to recognize it. Word comes to the higher officers of the guard that there will be a general shaving off of their titles in Kenand the troops from Indiana will get nearer to an actual war footing than they ever were in make-believe war time. Tbis is to be a part of tbe game at West Point; to show state guards-men how things are done by tbe United States regulars. Quartermaster General Oran Perry, wbo was a genuine colonel of the civil war and who knows about feeding soldiers, expects to have a good deal to ! do with making the Indiana officiers and privates of high and low degree comfortaMe while in the camp. He says the Indiana -soldiers must take with them the equipment that tbey would be expected ' to take were they going to real war. This means that all officers and privates must leave their usual camp gewgaws at home. The Policy of Legal Delay. The Vanderburg Circuit Couit at Evansville has begun the trials of eight men said to have participated in the recent riot. Mr. Clark, attorney for the first of them, a man of some prominence at the Evansville bar and in the politics of the county, began the time worn tactics of delay by first demanding a change of venue. This was very promptly ananged by tbe appointment of a special judge, and the next demand was for a con tinuance. And when this was denied, Clark immediately grew angry and declined to have anything further to do with the case. It is the policy of legal delay tbat gives the participants in mob violence tbe only shadow oi excuse for their conduct. It is well to have C.ark out of the case, and it would be much better if lawyers that can put up no better fight than an effort to wear out the state were out of the criminal practice altogether. Indianapolis Journal. A Danger of the Time. "Don't you think the modern wo man is in danger of getting so busy she has no time to be kind?" asked a sweet old lady the other day. "We bear so much about making every min ute count and always having some work or course of study for spire hours and systematizing our activities that there is no room left for wayside kindnesses. We get so tremendously absorbed In our own affairs, so selfcentered, so intent on not missing anything that is going on that we pas by a thousand little gracious acts that, if we bad been living 50 years back in stead of now, we shoyld have thought of. It isn't only the lame, tbe bait and the blind tbat need our love. There are hundreds who never fall by the way or ask publicly for the cup of cold water, who yet are perishing for lack of it. I think the old fashioned woman had the apvantage over tbe socalled new woman in quickness of sympathy and responsiveness." Storm Due Here Sunday Night. A blizzard is raging in Wyoming, eight inches of snow having fallen in the last twenty-four hours. The blizzard is a result of the storm which was reported in southern Canada Wednesday night and which was at that time moving slowly eastward. The course of the storm suddenly changed to south .Friday morning and the blizzards in Wyoming and southern Rocky mountain regions followed. The storm will make its presence felt here by Sunday night and showers will fall tonight or Sunday. It will not probably get very cool here. Indiana Crop Conditions. In the north section there is sufficient moisture in the ground for all purposes, and dry, warm weather is needed to develop and mature corn and other crops and enable farmers to save clover seed -and prepare for fall seeding. In the central and south portions of the state farming Interests generally, excepting the corn crop, would be benfited by rain, and in some eastern counties of the central and many counties of tbe southern section decidedly drouthy conditions prevail; vegetation is drying up, pastures and stock water are falling, and the ground Is dry and too hard for fall plowing. -" - Live While There is Life. There is much significance in the first official order of Gen. John C. Black, as commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. He admonishes the old soldiers that they should not wholly live on the memories of the past: "Let every post meeting," he says, "be one of fraternity rather than only mourning for the dead. v Let us believe that we have still much cf life and labor before us.

MODERATION URGED! Senator Beveridge Gives Timely Counsel to Indiana Statt Bank ers' Association. FOR OUR COMMON PROSPERITY Conservatism the Keystone of Business Stability Steady Legislation. No Swetping Changes Banken Not the People's Enemies; Peopls's Prosperity the Bankers' WelfareCitizenship the Only Class. In his address to tbe Indiana State Bankers' Association that has Just come to a close at South Bend. Senator Albert J. Beveridge urged moderation as the word of wisdom In all legislation. The meeting was notable in point of both Interest and attendance. Among the speakers besides Senator Beveridge were Congressman Fowler and Captain W. H. Hart. ex-f auditor of state. Particular Interest attached Itself to Senator Beveridge's otherwise magnificent address by reason of his prominence and interest in financial legislation. He said: The coming session of congress will sot enact any radical or sweeping financial legislation. Except In great emergencies moderation is the word of wisdom In all legislation. Of no class of legislation is this more true than at the present moment The stability of financial legislation, even though Imperfect is more desirable than sudden and comprehensive changes, even though these changes are toward greater perfection of our financial system. It is important in dealing with the delicate subject of finance that all changes, even though they are advances In the right direction, should be made with caution. The financial systems of every country are growths and not creations. In reviewing tbe history of all legislation in . this and other countries it has not been found that comprehensive schemes struck off from the brain of even the ablest men. which on paper and in theory seem perfect were entirely successful In practice. On tbe whole a financial system gradually evolved out of the natural requirements of business works better than the most perfect system devised In the office of the statesman or In the study of the philosopher. ' "Moderation, Caution, Safety." Some moderate financial legislation which will relieve the periodically recurring money stringency In the money centers Is probably desirable and may be enacted. But such legislation if enacted will be simple In its nature and will not disturb or alarm the bus iness interests of the country: because Its consequences will not be farreaching and. to all thoughtful minds will be plainly beneficial. No legisla tlon Is possible at the coming session of congress which will radically affect our entire currency system and cause the business world to pause In our present prosperity until it is seen how such legislation is "going to work. Moderation, caution and safety are the words which will control tbe action of congress. Moderation, caution and safety are the words which are uppermost In the minds of the business men of the nation and of the whole people. This. Is neither the time nor the place for extended argument for or against any proposed reform In our financial affairs. But a few simple and fundamental farts will help to a common-sense understanding of the problem of finance as related to business more than any amount of argument For example: The total volume of money of every kind and description In the United States Is a little mqre than two and one-half billion dollars. And yet the Internal commerce of our country each year amounts to twenty billions of dollars. That Is to say, our own transactions among ourselves and which .we do not extend beyond our boundaries exceed twenty billions of dollars every year a volume of business within our own . borders eight times greater than the total volume of our money. Cuslness Dated on Credit t This twenty billion dollars of internal commerce Is a very, low estimate. It is based upon the yearly value of our products and exchanges In larser transactions. It does not include our countless small transactions. It does cot include the flood cf , commercial izrzr net . avtllible tcr statistics

which cannot generally be traced. Were all of these Included. It la likely that a fair estimate of our business transactions with one another ouM not be far from forty billions of dollars a year, or sixteen times the amount of all the money there Is in the United States. This excludes the incalculable volume of commercial paper in renewals and exchange for other commercial paper, which might be properly included and which if included would swell the total of our internal business transactions Into hundreds of billions, or hundreds of times the total amount of our own money. As everybody knows, business is conducted upon vsrious forms of credit Impair credit and business is Impaired, no matter how much money you have. Sustain credit and business thrives in spite of the comparatively small amount of actual cash In the nation. So we see that the maintenance of credit is the one great financial questlan and always must be. And credit Is only another nnme ar conndenee. So the real question is: What will continue the confidence that prevails throughout our business' world, and what will Impair that confidence? Steady Legislation No Sweeping Change. Confidence Is preserved by reasonably permanent iljustment ot business tc any given l!ce9 of financial and commercial policy more than by ill other thing: put together 1c tot mean hat there should not be gradual changes in all ol our laws u those 'awE here and :here become out ot late: but 1 1o mean that It Is better for business to steadily adhere to ?om fettled i!ne of oolicy than to suddenly and radically change tt. Be cause if tome sweeping ct&ngf were enacted Into law. no mattet cow perfect a system that change would bring about the bankers and business men of the country would sit tight tor year or two years to tee how it was going to work. That would mean that the wholemachinery of our business, which is running on credl. would slow down almost to the stopping point during this period of waiting It would mean the temporary destruction of confidence and therefore the temporary abandonment of our prosperity The Common American BrotherhoodConfidence is also maintained by the belief that everybody in the country if working for the common good The most fortunate development In American history is the spread of this conviction of common American brotherhood and the corresponding decrease of prejudice among ourselves. Of this the relations of the people to the bankers are the most conspicuous Illustrations. It has not been many years since selfish politicians attempted with some success -o make the people believe that the bankers were their natural enemies It was said and believed by many that tbe bankers' bus Iness was to despoil tbe people. It was said and believed by many that it was the bankers' Interest to rob the people of their prosperity. It was said and believed by many that the prosperity of the bankers meant the poverty of the people Prosperity of People and Banker' Inseparable. But this period of folly has passed. No one but the crude demagogue now makes assertions so absurd. Everybody understands today that the prosperity of the people and of the banker Is inseparable. Everybody knows today that the banks , cannot make any money except when the people are making money. Everybody knows today that the banker has no source of Income except interest on loans and charges for exchange. And when times are hard the banks make fewer loans and have fewer exchanges and therefore smaller tpcomes. When times are good , loans are numerous and exchange rapid and abundant and. therefore, the bank's Income is enlarged. It Is now well understood that the farmer, the laborer, the storekeeper, the manufacturer and the banker are a great partnership whose interests are not only similar but whose interests are one and the same. The prosperity of the banker, storekeepe. workingman, farmer, manufacturer and all men of legitimate occupations stand or fall together." Citizenship the Only Clzxs. So tbat any man who wishes to continue his prosperity must set his face against any agitator who attempts to Influence the ieople .against the banker, the laborin gm aa ecsinst tha employer, theconsumer against the manufacturer, or the reversa of any cf these. I do not think our country hrs any serious dangers in its future; but If it has one, that one Is the possibility of tbe creation cf ssf&r&te classy in the republic and the warfire cf c-3 r!K ap'rct another f!:3. A re

OVERCOAT DEPARTM'NT AM New Goods. Second Floor. public cannot survive class ndfreas. The word "republic" and the word "classes" are in deadly antagonism. In a republic there can only be one class, and the name of that class Is citizenship. There can only be one watchword and that watchword is brotherhood. There can only be one policy and that policy Is loyalty of every citizen, not to himself or to some class to which he belongs, but the common good of all the people of the republic. Preac. and Practice Prudence. We all become intoxicated in periods of good times with a desire for too rapid. Increase of our individual wealth. This of course is a subject which no legislation can reach. Alt that any man can do is to preach prudence and to practice It And so again, in the conduct of the business of every bank in the country that word should be dominant which also should be dominant with us who are sent by the people to enact the nation's laws, and that word is the word with which I opened this address the all-wise word "moderation." There never was a period when the tide of prosperity has risen so high as now; and its highest point is not yet reached. But upon the shoulders ot the bankers of the country more than upon any one set of business men depends the continuance of this fotunate condition. But If confidence in the buiines'S world Is Impaired, the Influence whirh welds all thepe elements Into effective and practical prosperity will fail. And yet if the bankers without reason Indulge In vague apprehensions they will themselves bring about the very thing which they unreasonably fear. If tbe bankers bffgii to exercise cowardice Instead of prudence; if without any reason except timidity they begin to contract their loans and reduce their credits, that confidence upon which all business rests and of which the bankers themselves art the beneficiaries will be Impaired.

Frankfort, Ind., Sept. 11. For twoweeks Mrs. James Wallace, wife of. a wealthy farmer near this city, has been having a sort of 4,hide-and-seek,r with bee voice. Three years ago Mrs. Wallace partly lost the use of her voice and later became entirely unable to talk. This continued until two weeks ago, when with her husband she went to Xeuia, O., on a visit Kcffalns Hr Yolc on thm TrolUy. A part of the trip was made on a trolley car, and It was while riding on this car that she had the first of her rtranjre experiences with her voice. Without warning she suddenly began to talk as well as ever. The next day, however, she lost her voice again. The second day afterward she took another ride on a trolley and again she wa9 able to talk, but in a few hours after leaving the trolley she lost her volcu again. Tbis was repeated twKe and then she came home; Trying Electricity for m Car. Last Monday Wallace decided to make an experiment, and took his wife to L-afayett, where she could ride on a trolley ear. Before she bad ridden a mile she was able to speak as well as ever. Upon her return hone, bowever, she again lost her voice. Wallace took the cue frcin former experiences and obtained the services of an electrician, who Is applying the current .from a strong battery to Mrs. Wallace's vocal organs, with tbe result that there is a probability of permanent cure. The theory Is that there was sufficient current Inducted to her throat from the trolley line current to have the effect noted. Dastards Ca Dynamite. Berne, Ind., Sept 11.
