From the New York Herald. If the depression In tb stock mar ksta haa been due to unsoundnesa lo tha financial situation or to any real element of danger In the economical , outlook the reaction against It would aot have set In so promptly. Tho truth la the depression In prices Is the work of responsible bears In Wall street and their foreign allies, the irresponsible correspondents of English newspapers. The campaign Is designed to undermine public confidence as regards American securities has been Skillfully planned and unscrupulously carried out American holders of v stocks have been frightened into liquidating by the market manipulations of the responsible bears based uin sinister and unfounded rumors of the ' effect of federal Interference with the railways and false reports of reductions ia dividends. The Problem of the Road. From tha Springfield Republican. Each year the road problem of the country la growing In gravity because of tha increasing use of motor-drlveu vesicles, and each twelve montha sees a greater demand for money, not only far highway conatruction. but for repairs oa the roads already la place. It ta probable of many facets, on CtUh all are interested In, aa the rts are tha arteries of the country. l the two great parties most vitally la highway are the farmer

Turning Point

. , The political dope handed out through Tarioua newspapers la a variable quantity. There to a dlapatcb appearing- la a Cincinnati paper thia morning which If not precisely true haa some points of interest aa being a possibility. Now that Norton the new Taft press agent haa taken the place of the gentleman scheduled for Morocco, what gets out probably has aome foundation even If Norton deniea it ! At any rate her Is the dope. "Senator Crane arrived at 0:30 and after a motor ride with Secretary Norton lunched with the President. The two cabinet officers motored from Marion, the summer home of Secretary ' Nagel, where Mr. Wickersham la a guest .They reported at the executive office, where they learned that they were expected for luncheon. ' "As soon aa lunch was over the President led his- guests to the library, where they entered upon a discussion of political conditions which lasted until G o'clock. It was plainly presented to the President that no party can successfully follow two leaders. The leadership which is to focus the eyes of those who control the elections this fall and those Involving the bigger stakes two year? hence must be in one man. There cannot be a capital at Oystetr Bay as well as Beverly and in Washington. A continued division of party . leadership was pictured as spelling defeat for the Republicans and the loss of control in Congress." From this situation there is one thing to be gathered. The Standpatters do not like Roosevelt in this country half as well as they did in Africa. Allthe time that T. R. was away we heard the anvil chorus and the bellows makers shouting at the Insugents. Their plaint was: "Wait till Roosevelt gets back." Well now, Theodore Roosevelt is back, isn't he? The simple fact of the matter is that whether the dispatch in the Enquirer is the real stuff or not, the leadership of the people is conferred by popular approval. This marks the difference between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft. As long as their views coincide its easy sailing but when there Is any difference it's safe to bet that Mr. Roosevelt is doing pretty nearly what the people want him to do that has been his habit in past years. And you know what the copy book philosophy is on habit.

Motion Pictures

While Indianapolis is having hysterics over the motion pictures of the Reno light it is noticeable that without any agitation on anyone's part the motion .picture people In Richmond hate announced that there will be no display of the pictures here. The truth Is that the motion picture business is one which depends for its trade from the family. The Institution has been run on a very high plane as a rule because the people demand it It is far better that the absence of fight pictures should come in this way than It should be the result of agitation. As we look at It it is not the pictures half so much as It Is the agitation that makes the trouble. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, being a full blooded man, did not see anything in the way of motion pictures of the fight. Recent developments show that the people of Indianapolis some of them are emotional enough to be stirred up over the "still life" reproductions of the fight Hence the lid may go on. Its a lot better not to get excited about anything this hot weather.

and the motorist, 'and they are about as much at peace as the traditional fox and goose. Get either one off in a corner and he will talk eloquently about the outrages committed by the other and of hla own rights which have been basely usurped. Yet both are In the wrong In many ways. Hospitality. From the London Spectator. Working-class women are by nature extremely hospitable, but the narrowneaa of their housea and the supreme claims of husband and children often prevent them from gratifying the inclination until late in life. Poverty is no hindrance to hospitality and charity, as I have learned from many widows In large towns living in single rooms on out-relief or a tiny pension, nor are they checked by false pride. As long as they are satisfied with the cleanliness of their immediate surroundings, they will receive any guest gentle or simple, with the same quiet dignity. Records In Aviation. From the Philadelphia Ledger. So recent is the development of flight by heavier-than-alr machines that aviation may be said to be a matter of the present and the future. The biplane and the monoplane are things of today. The keen-eyed, courageous men who drive them are developing toward a working basis a dream of yesterday. What may be the ultimate service of the flying machine is yet a matter of conjecture, but not longer can the machine be regarded as a toy or its operator a reckless experimenter with no more purpose than the achievement of a new sensation. Saving the Small Boy. From the St Joseph Gazette. - The small boy Is willing to stand for the abolition of the cannon firecracker, but if these reformers ever get after the red lemonade vender there la going to be real trouble. TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Stratagem. "Crimson Gulch made a wonderful showing In its census figures." "Yes." replied Bronco Bob. "We took care of that Three-finger Sam was the census taker. We gave him onlimlted credit at the Pink Paradise saloon and took care that he never went to work until he was seeln' at least double." A Sardonle Motorist i "Where's your automobile? "Traded it off." replied Mr. Chuggins. "What for? "One of these street pianos. When I stand In front of it and turn the crank for fifteen or twenty minutes 111 at least have the satisfaction of hearing a tune." ' Wintry Reminiscence. Tho temperature moves up a peg. Yet this relief Is sweet; We do not have to humbly beg . Our janitor for heat economics. "Those pugilists drew down enormous sums of money." . "Yes. ' But think of the cost of llv-

ing even for a short time in a town where they hold prize fights."

Infernal Machine Suspect "So you were arrested . while traveling in Europe!" "Yes," replied the tourist who al ways has a surprising story. "It came about through a careless remark of mine.' They thought I was a dangerout anarchist" "What did you say!" "I ventured the opinion that green apple pie is food fit for a king." Man! Nature's pride! The great molder of things That last through the" centuries long! The creature whose brain forms the edicts of kings Or the delicate grace of a song! The lightning he holds an obedient slave; He measures the stars In the skies; He is patient and wise and determined and braye But he cannot get rid of the flies! He fears not the lion that rages and roars. . He mocks at the cold and the heat He rides the swift torrent. The dark cavern pours New treasures each day at his feet Where dangers are thickest he faces his foes. In quest of some coveted prize. To conquer tbe universe onward he goes But he cannot get rid of the flies! In Jerusalem the opportunity for selling floor tiles, pipes, steps and perhaps cornices of concrete is quite large, but not for concrete building blocks.

III KAISER'S ACTION British Public Declare Aim of German Emperor Is to Get Coaling Station. PROTECTIONISTS ARE RABID WILHELM'S RECOGNITION OF MAORIZ TAKEN TO MEAN THAT - GERMANY INTENDS TO SECURE NICARAGUAN CANAL SITE. London, July 13. The tension between Germany and Great Britain has been materially Increased as the result of the Madriz incident and today is more acute than it has been since the height of the war scare in Eng land. The fact that a British newspaper gave outthe statement purporting to come from the German foreign office in which America's diplomatic rights in Central America were flouted, has changed the center of interest over the incident from Washington to London. The advocates of greater protection for England are already making much of the prominence given Germany's alleged desire to secure a coaling station in America, declaring that such promise of naval expansion is a menace to England. Explanations and denials have further clouded the affair and the question current in diplomatic circles today is, why did the Kaiser recognize Madriz as president of Nicaragua when the United States, most concerned in the situation, had taken no action on his case? The affair has served to relieve the report, current at the time of the deposition of ex-President Zelaya, that Germany seeks to secure the Nicaraguan canal route, and had arranged with Zelaya for such rights. . Zelaya is here regarded as the backer of Madriz. These fresh rumors of. a gigantic struggle over the canal route that was the great rival of the Panama route, have only brought forth denials, however in Germany. The official inclination is now to ignore the 'affair as far aa possible, ac cepting the view that the Kaiser's note to Madriz, sent on April 26, was a mere bit of formality. Nevertheless, it cannot be gainsaid that the relations between the three powers involved have been given a keener edge than they have had in & long time. TALKS 0(1 POLITICS Roosevelt, Sphinx of Oyster Bay, Tells Attitude in New York Campaign. FAVORS "PEOPLE'S CHOICE" Oyster Bay 4July 13. Theodore Roosevelt today discussing politics for the first time since his return to Am erica, acknowledged that he was on the political job. In reference to the New York state campaign, he said: "My opinion in regard to the govern orship is this: "I want to find the best man for that office, the man who is most acceptable to the rank, and file of the repub lican party and to the people involved I intend to do everything in my power to see that such a man is se lected." Dr. Helen Putnam, of Chicago, says at least 400,000 children less tban five years old die every year in this coun try, and a quarter million infants less than two years old. She asserts Am ericans are more wasteful of human lives than anything else in the country, though they do not mean to be. Barefoot Canvas Slippers, mostly $1 grade, only 721 L1AIN

CHARGES UNFAIR.

Massachusetts Judge Unjust to Trades Unions. BASELESS FLING AT LABOR. In a Statement From tha Bench He Aceuaed Organized Worker of Responaibility For. Much Crim An Unwarranted Aspersion. A Massachusetts judge in passing sentence upon some Juvenile violators of the law took occasion to say thai the trades unions were responsible for much of such crime because they prevented young men from learning useful trades and thia forced them into liTes of idleness and crime. It is probable that tbe ends of jus tice would bare been fully served had the judge contented himself with passing sentence on the persons convicted, but be felt inspired (?) to make an ac cusation against worktngmen without 4 according them any of tbe common i rights of defendants. When a judge will thus go out of bis way to throw a brick at labor and thus display bis animosity, what hope is there that labor can expect any fairness from him in case any trial involving tbe rights of labor should be held in his court? And this was not alL When certain labor men questioned tbe correctness of bis statement and asked for proof the judge replied: "I have made my statement It Is for you to disprove it" Now, as we understand It. this an swer la so directly subversive or contrary to all judicial practice as to amount to judicial acrobatics. We believe tbe usual practice In the courts is first to charge -a defendant with crime and next to prove him guilty. About all tbe defense has to do is to successfully rebut or offset the evidence of the prosecution. And there la a presumption of Innocence of the defendant which must be overcome beyond a reasonable doubt In bis unwarranted aspersion upon the labor movement the judge herein referred to reverses the role of evi dence In holding that the accused must prove Innocence and wipes out tbe pre sumption of innocence entirely. True, this Is not a. caae in court but

It is au expression of k Judge in opvu court Suppose a man were accused of murder aod tbe court abould rule that inasmuch as be waa accused, he would be held guilty until be bad conclusively proved bis inuocence. What chance would tbe accused have? If judges have such high ' character and judicial minds as woukl be In accord with the exnlted view of the respect which la due the courts which exists in aome circles, we could hard! J expect one of them to commit such an unpardonable act of prejudice. If the courts are impartial, as claim

ed by some, why Is It that you never see where auy Judge has passed strictures upon capitalists aa a class! When a nut a Is appointed to a judgeship, is be supposed to perform certain well defined duties, or is be to serve as a mentor in chief to tbe whole human race. In additiou to administering the law In his court? Such actions as these are rapidly bringing tbe courts Into disrespect with all classes. No less an authority than President Taft has very recently said that he believed tbe largest question of reform before us was to reorganize the methods and practice of the courts. While tbe president very probably did not have in mind such cases as tbese it is clear that ou other grounds he does not bold tbe courts to very high models of efficiency and Justice, and It is possible t bat there may be other defects tban those so apparent and shocking to him. When leading judicial authorities admit that certain weaknesses exist one Is licensed to think there may be many other weaknesses which either, have not been discovered or, having been discovered, have not been exposed. ' ' The United States senate baa shown how much respect it has for the majesty of tbe courts when it flatly refused to obey Judge Wright's order. Let us have more judicial acrobatics tbe more tbe merrier. ' The more tbe judges stand on their beads to show tbeir spleen against a class of society which they dislike tbe sooner we shall have a Judicial ays tern under which rich and poor, cap! tal and labor, shall be treated impartially, and that is all we ask.

ARMY OFFICER DEAD

Body of Col. Silas E. Comfort Found Near Pennsylvania Military Academy. THE POLICE ARE MYSTIFIED Chester. Pa.. July 13. The body of Colonel Silas E. Comfort. U. S. Army. vice president of the Pennsylvania military academy, was -found on the bank of a creek near here this morning. There was a bad bruise on the' head and signs of a struggle, but whether a case of murder or suicide the police cannot detremine. Conkfort was not robbed. Origin of the tetter V. " - The letter V may be regarded aa the mu til a red remains of one of the symbols used by tbe ancient Egyptians In their hieroglyphics or picture writing. A common animal In tbelr country waa the two horned aand viper, a representation of which stood for V. The priests ultimately found that for the practical purposes of everyday life it was a waste of time to use .elaborate hieroglyphics and Invented a kind of shorthand to meet the occasion, in this tbe snake was reduced to a V with a dash (V to represent horns and body. The Phoenicians adopted this letter, and from them we get our V by loss of the dash, leaving only tbe two little horns of tbe original picture. This snake la still common la Egypt nnd Is probably the one mentioned In Genesis xllx. 17. "Dan shall be a serpent by the way. an adder in tbe path, that bitetb tbe horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward." Travelers tell us that It Is still addicted to this nnpleaaant hnhlt.
