Women at German Universities.
The number of womeu students at
the German universities it Increasing.
At Berlin 265 have Inscribed their
names for this summer, as compared
with 303 during the same term of last
year. The number of male students Is
always higher during the winter In
Herlin, and so It is with the women.
1 -ast winter there were 611 of them—
the highest figure as yet attained.
All Told In Ont-Syllable Words.
The following monosyllable presen
tat Ion of an old story was written by
one of Boston's celebrated statist!
clans: A wife burnt her man'a corpse.
She put the ash In an urn on the best
shelf In her best room. Her love led
her to wed once more. An lcs storm
glazed the front steps. She took the
ash from the urn and spread It on
the steps to save Ibe risk of slips by
the man sho loved while he liven.
Thus she urned one man iind made
him earn his keep.
A Faithful Friend.
Lenox. Mo„ Sept. 1st.—Mr. W. H.
Brown of this place has reason to he
thankful that he haa at least ona
friend by whose good advice he has
been spared much pain and trouble.
He says:
”1 have had backache for over
twelve months. Sometimes I could
hardly get up when I was down the
pain In my back was so great.
"I tried many things but could not
get anything to help me or give me
relief till a good friend of mine ad-
vised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
"After I had used two boxes the
pain In my back had all left me and
I was as well as ever I was.
“1 am very thankful to Dodd's Kid-
ney pills for what they have done for
me md I will never forget my friend
for saving suggested this remedy.”
The Republicans la official and un
official dorumeats, and everywhere, la
fact, bava been boasting about the
very high prices at which our 2 per
cent bonds sell, or in other words, at
the very low rate of interest at which
this government can borrow money
as compared with other nations. Thus
la their campaign text book the Re-
publicans say "Uncle Sam fa the
only one on earth who can borrow
money at 2 per cent, and the bonds
be at a premium at that.”
A half truth la always the meanest
kind of a He. because It la difficult to
disprove. It Is not only unfair to
compare our bonds with the bonds of
most other nations, but It la absolute
ly false to state that Uncle Sam can
borrow money at 2 per cent and have
the bonds sell at a premium.
1. The bonds of Great Britain, and
of some other European countries, are
subject to Income and perhaps other
taxes. United States bonds are ex-
empt from any and all kinds of taxa-
tion.
2. A direct comparison between the
prices of our 2 per cent bonds and the
government bonds of Great Britain
and Prance la unfair because the price
of our bonds Is unduly enhanced by
the artificial demand created by our
Federal banking laws, which require
national bulks to own these bonds
and deposit them with the U. 8.
Treasurer. This enhances the price
of all our bonda.
S. But la the case of our 2 per cents
there is a further artificial stimulus
or special privilege In the provision
that the tax on national bank notes
secured by these bonds shall be one-
half of one per cent lean than the tax
on notes secured by xll other classes
of bonds. This makes these bonds, for
purposes of national banks, practically
two and a half per cent bonds as com-
pared with all the other Issues. Tha
government pays on two per cent out-
r'ght. but. so far as the bonds are
held as the basis of bank currency
(and most of them are ao held). It
pays another half per cent In remis-
sion of taxation on the bank cur-
rency. This explains why the two
per cent bonds sell so much higher
In proportion than the three, four or
five per cent bonds. The four per
rent bonds of 1935 now sell for about
133 and tbe twos for about 108. This
Is on the basis of about 2.16 per cent
Interest for the 4s and 1.7S (?) for the
2s. If. however, the so-called 2a are
considered as 2% per cent bonds, as
may be properly done, they will be
found to be selling on the basis of
about 2.12 per cent Interest.
Virtually, then, the United States
pays Indirectly a premium on bonds
of one-half o' one per cent to the
holders of 2 per cent bonds. If it
would raise this premium to 2tfc per
cent It could borrow money without
interest. If it would make the pre-
mium 5 per cent it could receive In-
terests on Its own debts, and its cred-
itors would be bidding against each
other for the privilege of owing Un-
cle Sam money, Just as waiters In
restaurants where tips are numerous
and large pay the proprietor for the
privilege of serving hts guests.
AH of our government bonda enjoy
special privileges and our 2 per cents
are more favored than the others. If
all privileges were taken away from
our bonds, they would probably sell
so as to yield a net Income of about
2.5 per cent. That la, the government
could issue 2 Vi per cent bonda and
sell them at par. It can not, then,
borrow money at 2 per cent on ordi-
nary bonds and sell them at par, and
the statement In the campaign book
Is false. BYRON W. HOLT.

SfiWARB CORPORATION TOOLS-
rant Need af Cara la Voting far Car-
Government by Injunction by the
Federal judges haa been a crying evil
for years, but the late lajuactioa
granted by Judge heller la the caaa
of tha striking coal miners la Went !
Virginia, la which he practically re- j
■trains their brother miners from dta- '
tribatlag food and auppllea to tha
starving miner* in that atate, la ao
barbarous a proposition that It will
defeat Itaelf. Public opinion la slow
to anger aad loath to believe that the
Judges of the United Statea courts
are la league with the coal corpora-
tions, but this sweeping lajuactioa of
Judge Keller, which la effect says that
these miners are to be starved Into
submission to the hard terms of grasp-
ing corporations and that their wives
and little ones are to be judicially
murdered, that the coal bosses may
get their pound of flesh, will not be
endorsed by the American people.
There are only two legal ways In
which this judicial tool of the coal
corporation can be stayed la his ex-
cesses. First, by appeal to the Su-
preme Court of the United 8tates, aad.
secondly, by Impeachment by the
House of Representatives. Both long
and tedloua proceedings and almost
beyond the power of the miners to
bring about, unless aided by the unit-
ed protest of the people of the United
States. Aa the Senate of the United
Statea would be the Jury before whom
the Judges would have to be tried. It
la important that in voting for mem-
bers of the legislature. In those states
where United States senators are to
be elected that only those should be
selected who are known to be free
from corporation Influence. For we
have the word of Senator Morgan that
oae-thlrd of the senate, as at preaent
constituted, la controlled by the rail-
road trusts and corporations, and It
requires two-thirds of the members of
that body to convict any official who
Is Impeached by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
A few votes la cloae legislative dis-
tricts may decide the control of the
United States Senate for the next two
years, as far aa Impeachment pro-
ceedings are concerned, and voters
cannot be too careful whom they elect,
for they will have the electing of the
senators.
Senator Hanna shocked the country,
on Oct. 21, 1899, by saying, "I do not
know of a trust In the United Statea."
Oa Friday, Aug. 8. another similar
Hanna shock was felt when he an-
nounced, at Chautauqua. "There are
no monopolies in this country, except
such are protected by patenta.”
Tom Johnson says that Senator
Hanaa's Intentions are good and that
be undoubtedly wants to help labor
all he can, in fact, will devote the
rest of his life to labor's cause, but
says the senator will never accom-
plish much of a permanent good until
he recognizes the monoply element in
trusts and combinations, and destroys
it. But if Hanna couldn’t tell a trust
or monoply if he saw it coming up the
street, his case Is hopeless. He will
continue to waste his time and good
Intentions, while trusts and monopo-
lies prey upon consumers, Including
his much beloved workingman. Too
bad!
