Washington, Jan. 17. If the fates should be cruel to Senator Beveridge this year and the election out in Indiana should retire him from the Senate, his friends will insist upon making him the republican candidate for Governor in 1012. Already there is a great deal of talk about him in that connection, but, of course, it does not mean that there will be any abatement of the effort to return him to his present position. While Senator Beveridge has many odds to overcome Including a substantial democratic holdover majority in the Indiana Senate, the situation is by no means hopeless, his friends say. They extract a good deal of comfort from the fact that Indianapolis went republican last fall. Marion county will elect nine members of the house this year, and the possession of a friendly city administration ts a strong card in the senator's favor. There is an old axiom in Indiana polltics that "as goes Marion County so goes the state legislature." Taft Is Friendly. I So far President Taft's expansive smile has continued to shine on Senator Beveridge and give him peace. The proscription as to patronage has not extended to the Indiana senator, as It has to some of the other Insurgents. Every recommendation Senator Beveridge has made has been promptly accepted, the appointments have been made and the senate has confirmed them. ' Saturday the senator sent six more postoffice recommendations to the White House, and there Is no reason to Relieve they will not be just as promptly honored. The Indianlan and the president are working together on a number of important pieces of legislation, including a bill for remodeling the government, of Alaska, which is near to the heart of the President. This administration measure will be introduced by Senator Beveridge early in the present week.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

(American News Service) Pittsburg. Jan. 17. Rev. Paul Axtell, -aged twenty-eight, pastor of the fashionable First Presbyterian church at Sewlckley, Pa., shot himself throngh the heart in the barn at his fatSfer's home at Lebanon. The body was found by his younger brother, this morning. Ill health is the probable motive. When AxteU's mother heard the news, she swooned, breaking her arm in falling.

HAGERSTOWN, IND. Hagerstown, Ind., Jan. 17. The funeral services of Samuel Wisehart, who died at his home at Millville, was held at the Batson cnurch on Sunday. The deceased was a prominent man and was formerly proprietor of the mill elevator at Milville. Two sons, Ed and William, survive. Mrs. Ray Warfel and two daughters were guests the latter part of the week of her sister, Mrs. Elmer Dickison at Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Antrim, who have been visiting with relatives here, tire guests of Wyatt Dean's at New Madison, Ohio, and will later visit at Dayton. .Walter Simpson is confined to his

Continued liquidation has further unsettled the stock market. Firm rates for money, President Taft's railroad and corporation bills, fears of unfavorable decisions by the Supreme court In the Tobacco and Standard Oil cases, and the break in cotton appear to have been the chief unfavorable influences. As for high money, that appears to be a settled tendency, and it Is now generally acknowledged that

1910 will be a period of dearer money than 1909. This, of course, implies a general readjustment of security values. As usual the high priced stocks are the first to feel the effects of a fundamental change like a permanent rise in Interest rates. Security holders can easily find better employment for their funds than in securities which bring only 4 to 4U, per cent. A good many stocks have been firmly held during the past six months by insiders who were aware of an impending increase in dividends. Upon the announcement of these dividends such holders quietly sold for the reasons just stated, and in this way stocks have been passing from strong into weaker hands for several weeks past. The public have been the chief buyers encouraged by the generally satisfactory condition of business and the reasonable prospects for Its continuance. Wall Street, however, is in the hab

it of anticipating events, and Stock Exchange values consequently often follow a course in direct opposition to popular expectation. It thus happens that security prices are declining in spite of the favorable outlook for the current year. Another reason for the selling of stcks has been the publication of the two proposed bills giving President Taft's ideas of railroad regulation and industrial corporations. Neither of these measures were favorably received. The railroad bill was much criticised for the undue power which it gave to the Interstate Commerce Commission, a body which Is constantly seeking to impose a higher degree of paternalism upon our railroad systems. As for the bill for national corporations, that measure is still more open to criticism, since it contains the highly objectionable feature of holding companies, which have frequently proved so hazardous and

which the government has been at

tempting to dissolve. Both of these bills show a tendency towards the centralization and growth of federal power which seriously needs to be checked. A national corporation law would deprive the states of much of the power which they now exert over corporations, and would tend to the development of a series of big corporations or trusts such as would surely warrant revival of popular clamor against monopolies. Fortunately there is no prospect of either bill passing this session of congress, and the discussion which they are likely to provoke should reveal their grave im

perfections and bring them to an early grave. General trade shows some slackening, as is usual at this season of the year. The situation has also been somewhat affected by the revival of labor and tariff agitation, as well as by the increasing cost of doing business. A good deal of discontent is developing from the increased cost of living, out of which more or less political capital is sure to be made. All meat and animal products are now selling at abnormally high prices, with little relief in sight until next season, when an increase in the supply of both cattle and hogs is promised. Groceries generally are selling at lower

prices than a year ago, although retailers are not always giving their customers the benefit of lower prices. Clothing is high owing to the tariff and increased costs of manufacture; the result being that the average man is obliged to accept an inferior suit for the price he is accustomed to pay. Shoes are advancing. Rents are high, and there is little prospect of their declining until the cost of building is reduced or the supply of homes increased. Nevertheless, a great deal more is frequently made of the increased cost of living than is justified, especially when it affords a plausible reason for an advance of wages. The cost of living is a matter largely within the discretion of each individual. Cheaper and equally efficient foods can be had, and many individuals have become accustomed to luxurious standards of living which they can easily moderate without det

riment. Extravagance has more to do with the increased cost of living than many are willing to admit A little economy and patience will in due season mitigate the situation and encourage corrective influences. For the time being the drift of security prices promises to be downwards. A considerable decline has already taken place in many of the better class stocks, and occasional rallies are to be anticipated. It has all along, however, been urged that the market had been upon too high a level, and its gradual descent will prove a healthy feature. Until the readjustment to higher interest rates is accomplished! until the legislative outlook Improves, and until the decline has reached a point which makes our leading railroad and industrial shares more attractive to investors there is little prospect of any permanent recovery. There is a goodly amount of new issues impending, the financing of which causes a better demand for money, and the marketing of which is delayed until buyers show a better appetite. The situation abroad is generally satisfactory and the local undertone is good. There is no reason for taking a discouraging view of the future; and so far as the stock market isc oncerned it is only necessary to recognize that a long-deferred adjustment of values is now taking place. There is also considerable anxiety, as to the outcome of the anti-trust or Tobacco and Standard Oil suits now before the Supreme Court, and on which a decision is soon expected.

The Berbers. The people in Morocco known as Berbers are one of the most ancient and fanatical races of whom history speaks. Throughout all the centuries since Christ they have remained, as they were long before Christ came, savage nomads, unconquered, proud, fanatical, their hand against all mankind and living off their plunder, their flocks and their herds. They number about 2,500.000. They have but an apology for a written language and speak a corruption of Arabic New York American.
