HE (DETROIT NEWS remarks:
"Editor George Harvey of
Morgan's periodicals, having
secured the Tale lectureship on
Journalism and Public Affairs,' will
doubtless tell his classes how Mor
can pumps it into Roosevelt with"
one hand and reaps a panic harvest
with the other."
Colonel Harvey is a man of great
ability and Industry, and of moral
cburage, too, and Is doubtless quite
sincere in ,hls Opinions, but on the
very large subject assigned him for
these lectures he is totally unfit to
serve as an Instructor of youth. His
views are narrow and bourbonlsh.
His world Is. New York city, and
Wall street la It. soul. His voice is
the voice of that money mart and its
immediate environs. : He speaks and
thinks for the few and despises or
Ignores the -many. As the Detroit
News suggests, J.s Pierpont Morgan
is his Ideal character, .and the presi
dent is a low-lived scrub because he
sometimes considers "the man with
checked shirt." .
It would be a great national- ca
lamity for the youth of the country

they will get from Mr. Harvey.

ORTLAND AS a whole, as well
as a large number of bank de
positors more particularly, is
to be congratulated upon the
outcome of the three bank failures
that occurred here during the past
few months. It appears probable
now that not a depositor will lose a
dollar; that eventually, and within
a reasonable time, everybody will
be paid in full.
The first failure looked for a long
time as If it would result in large
losses to many depositors, but by
strenuous efforts it is expected that
the business will be taken over by
another bank that will pay In full
The second failure was never con
sidered a bad one; it was a suspen
sion of a sound and safe bank In con
sequence of a prolonged run caused
by thoughtlessly or maliciously wag
ging tongues, and it will soon re
sume business, and will no . doubt
enjoy the confidence of the public
hereafter.
The third failure was not really a
bank failure, for the concern did not
do a legitimate banking business, it
appears to have been engaged in
wildcat speculations, and in unuBual
and unlawful uses of depositors'
money. It was a freak among bank
ing institutions, the like of which we
are not likely-to see again here soon. I

Another Simple Rat Cure.
To the Editor of The Journal As war
is now declared on the rat family In the
coast cities, and having read of the
means , used to kill rats, I would sug
gest using carbon bisulphide In the fol
lowing manner; Take narrow strips of
cloth and roll into small balls about 1H
Inches in diameter. Dour about a table-
spoonful of rbon bisulphide oti- a ball
and. roll It into the mouth of the rat
hole. A. gas will form at once heavier
than the air, which will roll down the
nasaaveway and kill the young aa well
aa the old rats, mice and all vermin In
the hole.. If the. hole leads upward It
will not work, but must be put In where
they lead downward. This ia also very
successfully used on . ground squirrels.
gophers, etc., also where weevil have
gotten Into grain.- .Pour some into
piatea ana set on top or tne bin or pile
of bags. I think It will kill bubonic
