"ANOTHER'S SHOES;
A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS
Special Limited OfTcrinr
A Phrase That Had Its Origin In an
Ancient Custom. The expression "stepping into an
other's shoes," like many another com
mon phrase, bad its origin in an an
cient custom.
The old Norse law required that a
person to be adopted, must step into a previously prepared shoe. This shoe
was made from the skin taken from
the right hind leg of a "three-winters-old bull."
The skin was flayed from above the
hock, and out of this the shoe was made. The person to be adopted step
ped into this shoe, taking Into his
arms one at a ttme, it Is presumed, the
younger sons of the man making the
adoption. If there were also sons who
were of age they stepped into the shoe afterward, by this sign showing their
consent to the adoption.
A man In this way cpuld adopt an
illegitimate son, making him his law
ful heir, but in that esse the father was obliged to step Into the shoe first. If there were any full grown sons,
they stepped into the shoe afterward; If there were no full grown sons, then the next of kin did the stepping, and
without his consent, by the way, this
special adoption could cot be made.
Witnesses to the ceremony in the
use of the shoe were required to establish Its legality.
It will be seen that thia was con
sidered an Important ceremony, and since so much "shoe stepping" was
done it is not strange that the expres
sion as now used passed into common
speech. Chicago Record-Herald.
OSTRICH BATTLES.
New York, June 6. A severe blow has been administered to financial interests by the unexpected injunction against an advance in railroad rates. Its first effect was to startle Wall Street and force demoralized selling of stocks. What the final outcome will be cannot now be foreseen. It means at any rate a period of prolonged discussion at Washington, together with a general reopening of agitation against the railroads. Out of the struggle so suddenly precipitated there should come some rational and permanent solution of the problem; but- unfortunately during the Interval a period of more or less unsettlement in values must be expected. The present status of the railroads is unbearable, and some Judicial power is necessary to settle the differences between them and the people. Railroads are a natural monopoly and as such exercise arbitrary powers
which inevitably invite the distrust of shippers and should be restrained. Railroad managers are human, and,
however broad-minded and liberal they
may be, are likely in the matter of rates to put on all the traffic will bear.
Shippers desire stable rates, good service and equality of treatment. These
advantages they generally receive, yet find themselves at the mercy of the railroads in the question of rates. The freight rate from the nature of the case is not a subject for bargaining the
usual method of settling business transactionshence the alarm of shippers
at the recent movement of the roads
to advance to be unnecessary and ex
press serious alarm at this exercise of
arbitrary nower free of restraint. On
the other hand the railroads find them
selves face to face with the problem of securing sufficient revenue to meet the increased demands of labor and rapidly growing expenses. There seems to be but one true solution of this antagonism in the relations between the railroads and the people; that is the establishment of some court or tribunal
designed to arbitrate and settle all such
differences. If such a court could be devised, securing fair treatment to the railroads and just and reasonable rates to shippers, a long step would be taken in removing on of the most acute sources of financial and political disquiet.
The railroads are evidently deter
mined to secure better rates and are now filing notices of advances Indi
vidually instead of collectively; but
aside from this the general outlook
though somewhat mixed. Is in many respects favorable. Recognition of

There is. however, this difference if
any human boxer could hit as nara

decided by a single blow. In sparring

His Second Thought.
A politician named Blank got a place for a clerk during one of the sessions of the legislature of his state. The
clerk was very grateful, says the Saturday Evening Post. At the end of the session he came around to Blank
and said: "Mr. Blank, I want to tell
yon how much I am indebted to you for your kindness In getting me the place I have had. It meant more to
me, Mr. Blank, than you may think.

forced general retrenchment by Interior banks; and the steady curtail
ment of credit is gradually curing
some of the financial ills from which that section is suffering. It is recognized, however, that the interior banks will not be able to finance the crops as easily as usual, owing to expansion
of loans connected with land speculation in the west. Eastern banks will
undoubtedly be obliged to assist in
the autumn crop movement, and have been preparing themselves according
ly. As a result of these monetary con
ditions our bankers have been forced
to look to Europe for the financing of
proposed new security issues. While
money is abundantly easy in both Lon
don and Paris, the placing of Ameri
can securities has unquestionably been
delayed by pronounced foreign dis
trust of the situation here. On the
other side there has been a growing feeling that sharp liquidation must take place here, and a lower level for commodities as well a3 securities be established before European confidence in the United States can be restored. Such liquidation is now in
progress, in fact has already run to
a very considerable extent. Wheat and
cotton have shown marked declines, and the tendency is for still lower prices. Commodities generally are declining. Unsatisfactory as this may be to those operating for the rise, the
country will ultimately be benefited.
and the cost of living will decline
Both wheat and cotton will go outward
more freely and save us from the alternative of a further depletion in our gold supply. The situation has already
been materially relieved by this un
pleasant but curative process. ; Our crop situation is fairly satisfac
tory. The outlook is for a full crop of cotton and wheat promises well. The
prospect is also for a big hay crop
The growing season is from two to
three weeks late, which somewhat in
creases the perils from early frosts, still there is ample time for recovery
of lost ground, and It would be premature to take discouraging views of present crop situation. Other favorable influences are the successful plac
ing of St. Paul bonds and city war
rants in Paris, the decline in the bank
of England rate, a good cotton report and a sharp decline in imports which with lower prices for wheat and cotton and foreign takings of our securities
will interfere with further gold ex
ports. It seems quite certain that Europe will take our best securities at
a price, and present conditions seem unusually favorable to the foreign
purchaser.

in the Middle West all show that the action of the President has met so far
with great approval, though in the ultra-insurgent section of that part of
the country there is still a distrust of the President's ability to hold the line he seems to have decided on as a good one.

However that may turn out the fre

that their progressive movement is

that Mr. Roosevelt drew strength from

noted the sensation produced by the j
President from all over the State. Of
forty letters he received in yesterday's
mall nearly all, he said, went out of
their way to mention he injunction,
and all of them with approval. Mr. Brown believes that at last the President has done something to arrest the attention and attract the admiration of the country, and h believes it will bear immediate fruit in the indirect response Congress will feel called upon to make to the public interest the President has aroused. He believes it will have the effect of bracing Congress to put through, in short order some of the things the president has urged as his program for the year. Has Taken First Step. That a deep skepticism of the President's strength of purpose still exists in certain parts of the Middle West, however, cannot be denied. As one of the most radical of tte insurgents expressed it today, the President has taken . the first step in attracting the attention of the country. It needs, he said, for him to go forward and "make
god." This particular Senator is him
self highly pleased with the Injunction,
but he .said he represented the re
served opinion of his state in waiting to see whether this step forward
meant the beginning of a progresive
campaign or merely a flash in the pan.
While interest is at least centering
around Mr. Taft there remains as always an undercurrent of wonder at what Mr. Roosevelt will do on his return. In some quarters it is suggested
that a vigorous prosecution of the railroads might give Mr. Roosevelt a place to sit in the Taft' band wagon and enable him to still preach the "Boose

An Exttraordiraaffy
For Indiana inveotox
A Preferred Stock Issue by the Dodse Uk
I acturing Co., Which is Non-Tasabls end Without a Risk Yet Pays 6 Dividend
NEVER have the people of Indiana been offered a better investment than this we announce today. The opportunity is such as occurs rarely. For the man with a few idle hundred dollars, its advantages are apparent. They are obvious equally to those with tens of thousands at command. A Non-Taxable Income Purchase of shares in this preferred stock issue of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, . Mishawaka, Indiana, will secure you an assured income. Upon your income there can be no taxes under the laws of the State of Indiana. Nor can you incur any liability in the comparas affairs. This is guaranteed under the ironbound terms of the stock contract -filed with the Secretary of State of Indiana. Your income begins from the date of the certificates. It is 6 per annum, payable January 1st and July 1st. We point to many other desirable features of this stock. The Absolute Certainty Most men today know the Dodge Manufacturing Co. " They know it manufactures everything for the mechanical transmission of power. They will understand that the name guarantees the absolute certainty of the investment There is no element of speculation. There can be no risk. The capital stock of the Dodge Company is $1,000,000. The surplus and reserves total 51,167,852. . The preferred stock issue now authorized is SI, 500, 000. The snares are $100 each. Ten thousand shares, or 51,000,000 worth of stock, are now to be sold. Undoubtedly the issue will be far over-subscribed. The Dodge Growth The growth of this great industry makes one of the most interesting chapters of the Nation's business history. From a cradle in an old frame mill 31 years ago, the Dodge Company has expanded to cover about nineteen acres of floor space today. It employs more than 1200 operatives. The real estate and plant are worth nearly a million and a half dollars. The company has never had an unprofitable year. Year by year the business has grown more profitable. Last year was the greatest year of all partly due to general adoption of the Dodge Line by mill and factory partly to a national educational advertising campaign. The demand for the Dodge Line is permanent.
What the road-bed is to the railway, Dodge Tr
mission appliances are to the manufacturer. The company's present earning power b such mat it can pay a 10 dividend on its capital stock after providing for interest on the preferred stock and making proper allowance for depreciation and . for addition to the surplus account. The company transacts more than 52,000,000 annual business. Undoubtedly factory enlargements will enable it to reach the three million dollar mark. The present preferred stock issue is another step in the growth, the increased prosperity of the business. Greater working capital and further extensions and improvements to the plant will result. These are needed in meeting the overwhelming demand for the Dodge Line. Thus you can see what strength stands behind this investment Net Assets $2 For $1 This is a unique feature. According to the conditions of the stock contract, the net assets with Bills and Accounts Payable deducted shall always be in excess of double the amount of outstanding preferred stock. Net assets of two dollars fir one must be on hand at all times. We know of no more secure pro- . tection ever being given. No dividends, under the contract, can be paid on common stock until preferred stock dividends have been paid in full, nor can any payment ever be made on common stock principal until the pre ferred stock has been fully liquidated.
