PAWNSHOP

m BEJEXT PLAN (Citizens May Some Day Soak Valuables With Your j 1 Uncle Samuel. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.Shall ("Uncle Sam turn pawnbroker? Shall It become "uncle" in truth to any of his inlnety-odd million citizens who care rto "soak" with him any of their pertsonal belongings, from bedclothes to diamond, tiaras, at reasonable rates of f interest? I Shall it follow the example set by jfTrance, Germany, Holland and other (European nations and make it possible or the temporarily embarrassed to obitaln money on personal belongings "without paying from 36 to 100 per cent interest on the loan? Consular Reports Praise It. This question will be called up for consideration shortly through the pub lication by the Department of Com merce and Labor of a series of consu jlar reports on pawnbroklng in foreign countries. Needy citizens can obtain imal sums of money on short notice, -avoiding the exhorbitant rates of in terest charged by the private pawn.broking concern and keeping free from the greedy clutch of the professional money lender. Where the plan has been tried lon gest Its success has been most mark' led. The citizen is furnished with what 'money he needs up to a reasonable (mount, on personal collateral. The i average rate of Interest charged Is lies than 12 per cent per annum. Morelover, with the possible exception of t France, where the government exer clses a complete monopoly ' of the , pawnbroklng business, the national nd municipal Institutions have buc cessfully combated strong competi tlon from private concerns that have i been ' permitted to charge much high wer rates of interest. In Holland Since 1614. The pawnshop of Amsterdam, the (oldest and probably the most lenient J& the world, is known as the Bank ,Jan Leenlng. It has been under the control of the municipality since 1614, land now has fifteen branches through" iout the city. The average rate of interest is less than 10 per cent a year; aurplusses over amounts loaned, afiter the loan, the interest and, in addiction, 6 per cent for administration has been deducted, are returned following the sale of unredeemed pledges at aucjtion. Still the bank is able to main'tain a working balance of more than 'one mallion dollars. In France the pawnbroklng business ils strictly a government ' monopoly, which the Mont de Piete, the nation's 'pawnbroklng concern, has enjoyed for more than fifty years. The sole rate of Interest charged by the Mont de Piete (Mount de Piety) is 8 per cent per annum, interest being charged by ; the half month. The valuation is performed by a syndicate of auctioneers. ! They are supposed . to advance fourfifths of the value of jewelry and twothirds of the value of wearing apparel, but as they are liable for any Iobs on the value of unredeemed pledges, they seldom err against themselves. In Russia and Bumanta Too. The policy of advancing only a amall percentage of the actual worth of the collateral offered is followed In most European public pawnshops, the fact that they received only a small part of what the collateral was really worth furnishing the owners with further incentive to redeem the pledge. Much the same policy as outlined in the Dutch and French institutions is followed in municipal and governmen tal pawnshops in Germany, Roumania, Italy and Russia. The average inter est charge is about 12 per cent, the patrons are protected as fully as pos sible and every incentive is offered to redeem pledges. Wiedem of the fimnt.

President Taft left Boston at 7:35 p. m. Friday. Returns to Washington, November 1. Distance he will travel, 12,943 miles. Cities and towns ho will visit, 115. Number of speeches he will make 200, including short talks. Number of states he will pass through, 24. Object , of the trip: "The winning of the West." (National News Association) BEVERLY. Mass., Sept. 16. Presi dent Taft started last night on his swing around the circle for the "winning of the West." It will be the most important political trip the Presi dent has taken since he entered the White House and before he returns to Washington on November 1, he will have traveled 12,943 miles, spent fortysix days on the road, visited 115 towns and cities, delivered 200 speech es and short talks and passed through twenty-four states. While the President will speak on many topics on his long journey tariff revision will receive the most of his attention and five long, important speeches form the groundwork upon which all others will be based. President Taft will explain why he vetoed the wool, cotton and Farmers' Free List bill and why he stood out firmly for reciprocity. There is no lack of thunder in the oratorical repertoire. For weeks Mr. Taft has been working on speeches until he now believes that he can swing plain everyday citizens to his way of thinking. He will make a vig orous attack upon the Democrats and the Progressive Republicans. The Taft trip will not be wholly one of explanation. The President in tends to hit back at some of his critics and to say a few words about motives which inspire "the other fellow" as well as himself. , National leaders believe that the trip will have an important bearing upon the national campaign next year but they are waiting until it is over before giving a verdict, for it is not known exactly what Mr. Taft intends to say. It is understood that the Progressive Republicans will be attacked in their own strongholds while Ciceronian jabs will be hurled at the Democrats wher ever the opportunity offers. The Pro gressives will be held up as traitors to their party because they supported the Democrats in the last session of congress or tariff measures. Mr. Taft believes they should have had patience and waited for a report from the tariff board. The Progressives-may again fall under the sting of Presidential oratory when Mr. Taft comes to discuss reciprocity. This presents a complicated situation. Some of the Western Insurgents represented rural communities where reciprocity is not popular. Hence they opposed the Taft measure. Mr. Taft will attempt to show that their stand was the result of "playing politics," whereas reclpro city would be a benefit instead of a burden to the farmers. President Taft will hardly complete his transcontinental junket without touching upon his favorite subject, i e., international peace and the arbitrationtreaties. He will likely take this opportunity to explain his attitude toward the United States senate which felt delighted because it were not called upon to ratify these treaties before their adoption. Conservation and currency reform are two other topics which will receive consideration. In fact, a pretty good line upon the tenor of the Republican national platform in 1912 could be gleaned from a Btudy of the speeches which the President will drop from auditorium rostrums and railroad car platforms. The President has been arranging for this trip for six months and it has been carefully discussed from every angle by the shrewdest leaders in the ranks of the organization. There are some things for which the President wants "to square" himself. Chief of these Nvas his seeming advocacy of certain measures favored by Demo crats in the last congress. The President and party left Boston over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in a special train at 7:35 last night. A special cordon of U. S. secret service operatives had been provided for , the trip and they saw that the national executive came to no harm. The first stop was at Syracuse, N. Y.. Saturday morning. Of all the entertainments provided for Mr. Taft along the way the most spectacular will be that In Cheyenne, Wyoming. It was Theodore Roosevelt's delight to see the cowboys and bronchos in action and his cup of joy ran over the top when he would get to Cheyenne on Frontier Day, an annual exhibition to celebrate the days of real rangers and cow punchers. Therefore when it was learned that the President would be in the Wyoming capital on October 4, during the Frontier Day celebration, an invitation was sent to him to visit the exhibition grounds and see the ranch bands

It is not believed that the President will attempt to do any work on his congressional message during the trip. He has accepted sufficient invitations to take up nearly all his spare time and calls for rear platform speeches from crowds at every station will keep him busy even while he is jumping from town to town.

KAS, RECALLELECTIOH First Election Under Recall Law Held at Wichita. WICHITA, Kas., Sept. 16. Special interest attaches to the recall election to be held in this city September 26, because it will be the first election of the kind ever held in Kansas. The election will be held for the purpose of recalling Mayor John H. Graham and two of the four commissioners, E. M. Leach of the department of parks and public buildings, and R. B. Campbell of the department of streets and public improvements. Mayor Graham and the two com missioners were elected last spring in the face of a bitter fight. Graham's majority was nearly three thousand over "Al" Blaze, Socialist candidate, and it is likely that Blaze will be one of the candidates opposing Graham at the recall election. On a Law and Order Platform. V Mr. Graham was elected mayor of Wichita four years ago under the old council plan. He was selected as an independent candidate, upon a platform declaring for law and order, with especial reference to the enforcement of the Prohibitory Law. After the election he closed the joints. It was the first time Wichita had voted "dry" and, although it was . a hard fight against great odds, Mayor Graham succeeded so well in his purpose to keep out the joints that Wichita has stood for law enforcement since that time. In his first term Wichita adopted commission government, and Mayor Graham was one of its supporters. But in the succeeding election he was defeated by C. L. Davidson, who held the office two years. Last spring Mr. Davidson refused to become a candidate and Graham again was nominated and elected. So much for the history of the man whose removal is sought by the recall route. Amusements "Peck's Bad Boy." "Peck's Bad Boy," which is to be presented at the Gennett this evening sails only under its own flag and true colors. It is not claimed for the attraction that it offers most artistically done, tragedy, grand opera, or society drama, nor even bigh-class comedy. - The only claim is that the show creates laughter of the purely spontaneous sort, is pure, clean, and wholesome, and has a lasting benefit for those who see it without troubling them with any hard thinking. The play is so weil known after its many years of success in this and every other country where the English language is spoken that there is little need of repeating its story. The principal character is a healthy, goodhearted American boy who is continually working off his superfluous energy by playing tricks upon those with whom he comes in contact.

In many respects, the "Peck's Bad Boy" of the present season is a new "Peck's Bad Boy." While the same general scheme has been followed this year, as In previous years, there are many new pranks for the boy, and many pleasing musical specialties to add to the enjoyment. "Seven Days." "Seven Days" is very properly a quarantine comedy. Quarantines go with epidemics, and "Seven Days" is a raging epidemic of fun, laughter, merriment and all other jolly complications. "Some day," said Simmon's Magazine, "there may be something funnier than 'Seven Days' staged, but we doubt It. 'Seven Days' is a laugh producer from beginning to end, and what's more, they are all good clean laughs. If you have an opportunity to see 'Seven Days' take along an extra handkerchief. You'll probably need it, or the girl next to you may want to borrow it to wipe away the tears of laughter." Thanks, Mr. Simmons, for that handkerchief hint. Forewarned is" forearmed, and knowing "Seven Days" makes one laugh till one cries, we'll all be properly equipped when we go to the Gennett theater, Friday, Sept. 22. to pee this crackerjack . comedy the biggest hit In years, the laughter making play of the time.

NEGRO SLAYER TO BE ELECTROCUTED (National News Association) NEW YORK, Sept. 16. Early in the coming week John W. Colline, a negro, will be put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison for the killing of Policeman Michael J. Lynch in this city on July 1 last. The policeman was killed just as he was entering the negro's rooms in Thirty-seventh street to learn the cause of two revolver shots which the negro had fired out of a window. Collins had been drinking heavily, and on the night of the murder entered the house and fired two shots at the janitor. Later he left the house and returned with a bottle of gin. After drinking most of the gin he fired two shots in the air, and told a woman who was with him to lock the door. Instead she ran into the street, shouting for help. Policeman Lynch appeared and Collins shot him In the head. The negro mads his escape across the roofs of the houses, but was captured within an hour. His trial, conviction and sentence to death followed within less than sixty days. Happiness. "I am sometimes accused." writes Sir John Lubbock, "of being too optimistic. But I have never Ignored or denied the troubles and sorrows of life. I have never said that men are happy, but only that they might be; that if they are not so the fault Is generally their own; that most ef us throw swsy more happiness than we enjoy."
