High Finance

It looks to most of us as if a rather crooked piece of work had been put over in this C. A O. of Indiana mortgage business. In polite circlea this la called "high finance." But maybe this is a valuable thing. , Maybe It is a good thing for the state of Indiana to realize that the laws of this state in regard to corporations are so hazy that the state has to go a long way around to get at the men and the corporation that try to put a deal over like this C. & O. deal. In brief, the C. & O. of Indiana can Issue stock and bonds on this mortgage up to $40,000,000. People invest. The road goes into the hands of a receiver and is sold again. So are the investors. That may be the way that the prosperity of this country is made Sure. ' If it is we are glad to know it Then Prosperity is Dishonesty and we may know it for what it is. For every time an attempt is made to bring about a better condition of things who arises but some whlted respectable sepulchre and says: "You are hurting business." ,

The sooner Indiana people get out from under the hedge rows where they have been sleeping, lo these many years, and wake up to the fact' that public service corporations need a little bit of attention on the side of their capitalization the sooner we ehall be rid of a few of our evils. Is it wages? Watered stock. . Is It rates? Watered stock. Is it poor equipment? , Watered stock. Is it wrecks? Watered stock. Is It bad drinking water? Watered stock. ' Is it large private fortunes? Watered stock. You know the rest of the story.

It Is said by some people that Governor Marshall has brought suit on the C. & O. of Indiana for political purposes. Perhaps. For our part we cannot see that Governor Marshall is an issue In this campaign nor party connections of any kind the issue is honesty. So when Governor Marshall says that in bringing this suit against the C. & O. of Indiana, he is doing it to show the people what is needed In the way of legislation, we are up to this time ready and willing to give him credit for that and for doing his duty as the chief executive of this state. As long as Governor Marshall sticks to that line of action we are ready to applaud him, no matter whether he belongs to the Democratic, the Republican, the Socialist, or the Prohibition party. For this is what he said: "There is nothing to prevent an instance of high financing in connection with the entire affair; nothing to prevent the widows and orphans of New England from being loaded down with Chesapeake & Ohio of Indiana bonds and securities ; nothing to prevent the road being used as a mere blind for inducing innocent purchasers to invest, and nothing to prevent the road from being thrown into the hands of a receiver, incumbered with a $40,000,000 mortgage, and, with all the milk gone, sold as a piece of junk. "It Is Just such a piece of high financiering that we wish to prevent. Further, we wish to show the people of the state how easy it is under our existing laws to practice such financial deceit, and to induce the general assembly to guard against such future transactions by a proper law." As for those men (some of them well enough known In this part of the world) who pulled off this little excursion into high finance we hope there is some very good way of putting them where they belong. Dishonesty does not sound the sweeter for the unction that is put on the word "finance."

Items Gathered In From Far and Near Insurgency. From the Indianapolis News. The rapid growth of Insurgency gives it the ' appearance of a real movement of the people, irrespective of party. That is, there Is democratic insurgency as well as republican. Its greater significance we think will be found in the evidence of its broader charactetr. In other words, it is more of a popular rising than a factional revolt. The deduction may be drawn from this view that the victories of Insurgency do not indicate a real revival of democracy. Where it may result so it may be regarded perhaps more In the nature of an Incident than a purpose. Thus we may see in insurgency a protest from the whole people and may expect from it greater things than could be expected were It merely a party schism. Contributing to this view is the fact that in the recent Wisconsin victory for Insurgency the democratic vote almost disappeared. Manifestly, the meaning of that is that democrats voted for the Insurgent cause. The same thing happened in Washington, where the democrats polled only 3 or 4 per cent of their votes (all parties holding primaries on the same day). And Arkansas is more noteworthy. At the state election there two years ago, the democratic majority was 66,000 and four years ago (the last off year) it was nearly 2,000. At the recent election it was less than 20,000. Here are losses corresponding to republican losses in Maine and Vermont. In other words, there has been a protest against the dominant party. This certainly looks ' like a people's movement.

tion of the United States among the large city countries of the world. New York, indeed has not yet overhauled London, the only larger city. That transit is not due for another decade or so. But the other large cities of our-country, as far as yet heard from have surged forward among the field of foreign cities against which they were matched. We shall have to get over the metropolitan habit of speaking of our second class cities. A number of these are now in point of population well ahead of many European capitals. Population is, the Europeans may say, not all that make a city. But, we are free, to say, inhabitant's are a city's first essential. And our cities have their share and more than their share of increase in mere inhabitants.

Fortifying the Canal. President Taft will ask congress at its next session to appropriate $2,000,000 to start the work of fortifying the approaches to the Panama canal. It would not take an enemy long to destroy the usefulness of the waterway if access to it were easy. There is domestic and foreign opposition to the project of fortitcation. but it should not be allowed to stand in the way of safe guarding a work which has cost the American people millions of dollars and which is a necessity to their commercial well being. The canal is to be open to the commerce of the world, but its building is an American enterprise. The first consideration when construction was begun was the making of a water highway for peaceful commerce, but there was the secondary, but highly Important consideration from the standpoint of the United States, of a shortened route between the seacoasts for the battleships of this country in time of need.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE, '

Copyright, 1908, fry Edwin A, Nye NEAR. TO MATURE. "I do not see bow you can be content in these quiet mountain places. I know I should almost die of lonesomeness," said a young girl. She was sincere. Few younjr persons have learned to live with themselves, and few, young or old, know "the power of sitting still." There Is an nrt of living In solitude. It Is not In the mere idleness of yawning one's life away or of eating and sleeping or lazy loafing, but in dreaming Nature's dreams after her. , For Nature, always busy, to always dreaming. If you find In the dream of that purling mountain stream the lesson of cheerfulness. If yonder giant pine teaches you the dignity and poise of life, if the "languid sweetness" of summer's noon brings a message of abundant fullness. If "the sorrows of autumn" speak to you of peace. If the curtain of night tells of the "dream of resting weary limbs on beds of asphodel," you hare caught old Nature's closest secret. Lonesome?. Why, you are companylng with the Infinite, and human speech Is only childisb prattle. What think you can be more miserable than that old age which finds no company In solitude? For the day will come when all endeavor shall be barren, when things of sense give only passing pleasure, when fruition turns to ashes, when even fame shall be fatigue. But if you "held communion with her visible forms" Nature will "speak to you" "a various language." She will "steal upon you ere you are aware" and take away the sting of sorrow or the sense of failure or the pang of loneliness. - Get acquainted with Nature and yourself. "Go forth and list to Nature's teachings" and let her put you In communion with yourself.' You will learn her ways and dream her dreams. She will solve your problem by her silence. Lo, where W the beginning, where the end Of living, loving, longing? Listen, friend! God answers with a silence of pur gold Just as of old. And so shall you never fear to be alone, for always there shall be about you yourself and Nature and God. And then, having learned your lesson, some day you shall "drnw the drapery of your conoh about yon and He down to pleasant l-rir-. " TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Recalling Old Times. "I knew that fellow when he didn't have a dollar," exclaimed the envious man. "That may explain why he is not more genial toward you now. You evidently didn't lend him one." Getting Down to Realities. "If two forces traveling at right angles meet," said the professor of physics, "what happens?" "Something terrible," replied the young man, "if one of them is a motor car and the other's a freight train." An Illinois Version. The boy stood on the burning deck. Said he, "The call seems urgent, But I'll stand pat, just where I'm at, And ne'er be an insurgent." An Object of Travel. "Are you fond of travel?" "Yes, Indeed," replied Miss Frizzles. "It is so much more pleasant to select your own post cards than to stay at home and let your friends send you what they like." The Test of Type. His love in letters burning He wrote her without stint His folly he's discerning Since they appeared in print. He made some campaign speeches New coined from wisdom's mint With rage he almost screeches Since they appeared in print.

The democratic party in Delawa-e is divided over the liquor Issue. The republican state campaign m Minnesota will be opened at Mankato October 4. . Florida wiU vote in November on a constitutional amendment providing for state-wide prohibition. George M. Hanson, who Is a candidate for the seat of Senator Frye of Maine, is supreme chancellor of the supreme lodge. Knights of Pythias. The republicans of the Sixth AUbama district have nominated A. D. Mitchell, a farmer, for congress to oppose Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, the democratic Incumbent. Seth McCallen ("Dick Maple") socialist nominee fqr governor of Tennessee, has announced his withdrawal from the race on account of 111 health. The National Republican League will hold a convention in New York City, September 30 and October 1, with a banquet which will be attended by President Taft Missouri enjoys the rather unusual distinction of possessing three ' presidential possibilities within the democratic ranks: Joseph W. Folk. David R, Francis and Champ Clark. Obadiah Gardner of Rockland, Me,, democratic nominee for governor two years ago, and who was defeated for a second nomination this year by Governor-elect Plaisted, has announced himself as a candidate for United States senator. Behind the nomination of Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton University, as the democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, is said to be a plan of certain leaders to control the democratic party and to run Dr. Wilson for president in 1912. It is an Interesting fact that Theodore Roosevelt is the only president within the last twenty-five years who had no part in a tariff bill. Cleveland had to deal with the Mills bill, Harrison the McKinley bill, Cleve. land, in his second administration, the Wilson bill. McKinley the Dingley bill and Taft the Payne-Aldrich bill. Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven, the democratic candidate for governor of Connecticut is best known as a "former president of the American Bar association. He attended both Harvard and Yale law schools, and has been for many years a member of the faculty of the latter. He has written much on legal topics. , Former United States Senator Joseph M. Carey, father of the so-called Carey enlarged homestead act, is an independent candidate for governor of Wyoming, declaring himself in opposition to the "bosses" of both parties. Mr. Carey's platform advocates the direct primary law, a corrupt practices act and the election of United States senators direct. Congressman Miles Poindexter, whose nomination for United States senator is considered a signal victory for the Insurgent republicans of the State of Washington, has long been one of the leading insurgents In the lower house of congress. Mr. Poindexter was born in Memphis, Tenn., in 1868 and is a graduate of Washington and Lee University. Dr. Woodrow Wilson, who has been nominated for governor of. New Jersey by the democrats and. who is now mentioned as a presidential possibility in 1912. has never held any political office. He has been president of Princeton University since 1902 and is known nationally as a specialist on political science. Dr. Wilson was born in Staunton, Va., fifty-four years ago.

Rivers and Harbors Congress to Meet at National Capital

Washington, D. C, Sept 27. The forthcoming convention of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, which will be held in this city December 7, 8 and 9. gives, promise of excelling in point of numbers and personnel any previous convention ever held by the congress, the events leading up to the passage of the last river and harbor bill accentuating the needs of a comprehensive policy of inland waterway Improvements. Representative William P. Borland of the Kansas City (Mo.) district who Is an enthusiastic believer in the future of inland waterways said today: "I believe that the time has come when we can no longer neglect these great natural highways of commerce. This is especially true of the great Mississippi Valley, which Is fortunate In possessing such a remarkable system of navigable rivers.' "Transportation is always the great economic problem for inland sections of the country. Cheap and abundant facilities for transportation of the great natural products of the forest, farm and mine, not only add to the value of all farm and city property within the sphere of their influence, but increase materially the growth of natural wealth, and reduce the average cost of the necessities of life in the great centers of population. "I believe that there is no subject now engaging the attention of the American people, more truly national in its scope than the systematic, scientific and permanent improvement of the inland waterways. I hope to see this work undertaken on a large and comprehensive plan, and not merely in the way of isolated projects. It is a false idea of economy to attempt to do this great work piece-meal. It can be performed, not only better, but in the end, cheaper, if ample funds are provided for a comprehensive plan of improvement carried out in a prompt and expeditious manner. The present generation of farmers and business men are entitled to some reward for their liberal offering of labor and ex pense. "The near approach of the' completion of the Panama Canal is a factor in the national importance of this sub ject. We hope that the surplus products of Central and South America will find their way into the interior of the country, by means of water transportation and furnish a basis upon, which we may build up. through the natural operation of reciprocity in Consumption Anyone interested in the cure ef Consumption should get one of the booklets telling of recoveries by th use ox cckimd i Alterative.

A story to the effect that special inducements are to be held out to Mayor Shank to resign has been going the rounds for several days and has gained wide circulation. The story is told with variations, one of which is that Charles A. Bookwalter, former mayor is to succeed Mayor Shank and that the latter will leave the city a few months, ostensibly on account of 111 health. The story Is only one of many rumors that have been placed In circulation since certain councilmen began ' their activeness in seeking evidence against the mayor. The mayor, however, is complacently denying all rumors, declaring he expects to serve out his full term of four years. "I wouldn't resign for $100,000," said the mayor, "and the council can not find enough evidence on which to Impeach me. So far as I know I am going to stay In office until my term expires."
