Phone Main 82. A PANIC THAT MISCARRIED. EVERYONE KNOWS now that the panic that followed the inauguration of Grover Cleveland as president was a created panic, made for the purpose of discrediting the Democratic party, and to provent any intor foronce with the tariff, if possible It was a deliberate attompt to mis lead the American people and to make them believe that tho tariff was absolutely necessary to the country's prosperity; an attompt to fix the systom permanently on the people. It was so successful that no sooner was Wilson seated in the White House than Wall Btreet laid plans to repeat the dose, and deliberately bring distress and disaster on millions of American people in or der to entrench the beneficiaries of th tariff systom more strongly in their position. There was a plan put up to make a money panic. The big banks began to hoard money, they gave out that there was a money famine, that they could no longor furnish money to their patrons. At the same time their vaults were bulging with coin. One of the loudest of the howlers had increas ed its doposits by weakening securities until it had increased its stock of money more than $20,000,000. The New York bankors began to refuse loan; they did not have the mon ey. Their allies in othor big cities followed their lead. There was a shortage of credit, but there was no shortage of money. Country banks throughout the land could not got money A great western railroad with more than 7000 milos of track was thrown into bankruptcy because Wall street rofusod to loan it $.1,500,000, a loan that wbb a mere bagatelle on the security. The big combine sat back and smiled. Its plan was going to succeed. It took no thought of the distress and ruin that its unholy act would cause, of the bank rupted business, of the ruined homes, of the innumerable suicides that would follow in th6 wnke of ruined businoss, of the blasted hopes, the poverty and suffering that their act must necessarily produce. Thoy thought only of fas tening their own tontaclos more firmly around the limbs of the country's bu siness, of making themselves tho supremo dictators of tho land and of getting the whole country under their foot. A panic started just as they wanted it to start. They laid low and grin ned, it was their panic and it was going to be a Buccess. In three weeks it would mean the bread lines in tho big cities. It would mean tho closing down of factories, the closing of smallor banks and the suspending of payments of donosita. The stock mflrkflf VCHM in rhnnq bllainnaa mnn vi f.AmUim. an. otherilack Friday with its horrors waB at hand, and all tho time those soulless monoy bosses sat back and waited for restriction to ovortnke tho country with never a regret for their act, noer a senso of pity for their; victims. But for once thoy reckonod without their host, President Wilson put a spoke In their whool and sent the whole criminnl gang scurrying for sholtor. Tha Uniled States treasury department took a hand in the game. It announc ed that it had $300,000,000 to loan to tho country banks to carry on tho busi ness of the country, and provont any crisis. That was all. The Now York banks suddonly found an abundance of money and nearly broke their backs getting it out of the vaults and into circulation. Thoy did not want a monoy war with Uncle Samuel, the old man was too solid for even thoir groat com bination to tackle Buccossfully. If thoy permitted him to throw $500,000,000 on to the markot their own business was ruined, and they, not the decent poo p'o of the country would be cinched. There waB no need of monoy, there wns plenty of it, and the bankB had it. They suddenly found millions and dumped them on tho loan market in a hur ry in order to beat Uncle Samuol to it. Tho high pall loans suddonly dropped from 3 per cent to loss than half that amount. This was done in less than two hours. One New York bank announced that it had $28,000,000 that it had no use for only to loan to its friends, and "would thoy kindly come forward and give it a chance to let thorn haveitt" It got real anxious and went on tho Btroct and bought up $7,000,000 worth of stocks to stop any Blump Bnd show how dear tho interests of tho poople were to it. And this bank, that same morning was tho loudest howler of the wholo bunch that there was a scarcity of money. It had the scare of its life and almost became honest for an hour or two. Wall streot was given the drubbing of its lifo, and was taught a lesson that it will not soon forget. The great lesson taught, though, is thnt tho big Interests aro tho most cowardly creatures in tho world. The people have been shown tho truo inwardness of the money question and also that panics that thoy have endured wore mnnufnetured In Wall streot for un holy purposes, and that the people have the powor to control them. It is doubtful with this exporioneo If the rolihers of Wall street evor again attempt to Btart a panic. This one net of President Wilson will make his administra tion famous even should nil othera fail. Tie lins pulled Wall street's teeth, and it will probably never havo another set. THE ACME OF SUOOESTIVENESS. THAT 18 WHAT tho present stylo of dress most certainly is. A spenkor at tho World's Christian Citizenship conference expressed his inability to recall any costume that came anywhere near approaching it in tho matter of suggestlveness. Ho is not alono in this. To find anything like it, one would have to go back to tho tlmo of Sosostrotis or perhaps even further into the old Egyptian times, when indeed its prototypo was tho stylo. It was bad enough when the hobble first put in its appearance, and it has steadily grown worso. The hobble, nindo of clinging and thin matorials, showed the specifications and design of tho wearer to the fullest oxtent, leav ing but little to be guessed at, but with each succeeding chango there has rome a larper exhibit of "form," and not always good form, either. But the exhibition of things that dress was presumed most to hide was not onough. Tho suggestion wns not sufficient, and so a split was made in tho ldo of the skirt so that the real limb could be exposed to the gaze of the mul titude. Nor was this sufficient. It was discovered that this arrangomeut only permitted the exposing of one leg, whereas most well equipped women have two, and-in order not to bo partial, the split was moved around to tho front so that every time the wearer stepped, the two legs could bo thown al ternately and impartially, Modesty, howover is paid proper tribute, for while the lower limbs are ex posed to sight, the upper works are carefully conceled. The hair is put on j apparently with a mason's trowel, and gracefully shaped with an extra swipe or two with the point of that instrument. The ears are out of sight and the neck largely concealed, thus balancing up the undue and extra exposure below.' And to emphasize this concession to moresty, the hat has disappeared and at tention is thus called to the fact that the element of salacious indelicacy goes no higher than the neck. The theory seems to be that "Beauty unadorned is e'en adorned the most." No doubt many, if not moat of those who wear these excuses for cloth ing would prefer some other less. suggestive style of dress, but Dame Fash ion in the shape of a lot of he dressmakers has decreed it as the style, and a woman might as well, in her own opinion at least, be out of the world as out of style. It shows though, how blindly the sex will follow anything in the shape of drees to be in fashion, even sacrificing the sense of modesty on the altar of style. What the future will bring forth in the next change of style is, of course, unknown, but we suggost that a skirt of navy blue paint with rod buttons, and trimmings of indelible ink to match and blend with the skirt's materials, with, higher hair effects would, give mankind a little more accurate knowl edge of things that women now seem determined that ho shall know. JIM HILL KEEPS HIS EYES OPEN. NO ONE WHO KNOWS much of Jim Hill will put him in the philanthro pist class. In fact, Jim is different from others of his clasB in that he generally stands in on the side of the producers in all his dealings; is an optimist rather than being :' disposed to look at the blue Bide of things. Ho is well informed enough about the country and its products to know that it cannot go to the bow-wows when it has a crop worth $10,000,000,000. The Wall street gang thinks it can make or unmake the country but Jim Hill knows better, and he backs his opinion of what is coming with crop figures. Ho is just as big a gambler, just as much an exploiter of the people aB any of his kind, but he plays the game difforently, that is all. He can put a hundred millions of dollars, composed entirely of water, into his railroad stocks just as quickly and as successfully as any other old rail road magnate, but while doing it he does not try to discourage tho producer with feara of panic, or anything of that kind. He wants everybody, especial ly those along his lines of railroad to bo producing something, so that he can got a chance at the freight on it. He is willing to wait for his part of the rakeoff until the producer gets his. He does not try to get a scoop by break ing his patrons, as doos tho Wall street bunch, and that is where old Jim is foxy. Ho gets the reputation of being a philanthropist, and it does not cost him a cent. He knows that the country cannot be bankrupted with a $10, 000,000,000 crop in sight, and bo he plays to the galleries, and poses as a hu manitarian. Even the wisest of the sharpers might profit by his example. A STORY TOLD BY THE EE TURNS. THE LAST REPORT of the internal revenue department makes a rather startling showing In relation to the drink habit in the United States. It showB that in spite of all the fierce war waged on the saloon and on the drink habit, that there is a steady increase in the amount. of liquors con sumed in this country. Figures are gonerally dry reading but these certainly are not. The report shows that there was 143,300,000 gallons of whiskey and brandy consumed during the year, an average of about a gallon and a half for every man, wo man and child in the country. This is the greatest amount ever consumed in tho country in any one year, exceeding by 7,300,000 gallons the high record of 1007. In the consumption of beer the record was even more badly broken. Tho roport Bhows that there wcro 64,500,000 barrels of beer consumed during the yonr, exceeding tho record year of 1911 by more than a million barrels. Do spito this record consumption, tho report also shows thnt there were less sa loons by about 18,000 than there wore in 1912. Tho total number of liquor dcalors is given as 450,000. The beer consumption shows thnt about two thirds of a barrel was consumed for each person in the United States. To any less determined than the temperance workers these figures would prove indeed disheartening, but it will only tend to stir that element to more vigorous action. Whether one agrees with tho temperance movement or not, one is forced to take off his hat to their pluck and determination. ; LADD & BUSH, Bankers jj TRANSACTS 1 BANKING! BUSINESS. SAFETY DR.

That was tho caBe yesterday when the parade, advertised to begin at 1 o'clock, started sometimo that afternodn. Such things show inexcusably bad public spirit, but any othor arrangement would probably disappoint many, who understandh.g that these affairs aro always late, never get on the ground until an hour or two after the time advertised.
