Judge Whitfield is chief justice of

oae of Mississippi' most brilliant
chess players. Correspondence chess
Is too slow for him, but he delights ia
a match by wire. However, his game

of brilliancy because it was pending
several months. Speaking of his op

A NEW RECORD BOOK.
The idea of having a record book for
correspondence games Is not new.
Neither is the plan of hating a chess
board diagram to enter the game posi
tion at end of every tenth move. But
the book now in press will neverthe
less be "new."
Last week the Chess Editor sent out
a postal card description of the book
to a number of well known correspon
dence chess players, and the returns
hare been very gratifying. To date
the following players have ordered
one or more of the records:

NOTES.
Solutions to Synthetic No. 10 are
coming in lively. C. C. Hunt, Louis
Os there, the Rev. Th. Eggen, Prof. B.
Moser, C. R. Oldham and A. H. Rob
bins are among those who found the
way. Some comment is made regard
ing the terms Q Kt and K Kt, used in
the mating solution. As stated at the
time of publication, this problem was
stolen from George H. Walcott's col
umn In the Boston Post. Now, Mr.
Walcott's rule Is this:
"When there are two white or black
rooks or two white or black knights in
a problem, one shall be called the
king's and the other the queen's piece,
according to the following rule: When
the two pieces are on different files,
the piece that Is on or nearer the K R
file shall be the king's piece, the oth
er the queen's piece; when the two
plecej are on the same file, the piece
that 1 on or nearer the first (home)
rank shall be the king's piece, etc.,
unless proof to the contrary exists In
the position.
George 11. Walcott Suggestions are
always in order. My thanks are due
all the boys who picked me up on
that explanation that didn't explain.
Believe it did some good, however, for
it aroused a few who otherwise might
have kept on sleeping.

Dr. J. L. Ormsbee, secretary of the

games by correspondence. He -says:
Of course I keep a record of the
moves In a book, like everybody else,
but to facilitate a quick study of the
games at odd moments I have ar
ranged a wall map or number of chess
boards. I procured a piece of check
ered cloth with squares of about
Inch; for men I am using bits of
pasteboard with the initial or stamp
of the proper piece in it; these are
attached to the proper square on the
cloth by means of hooked pins." At
each step in the game the pieces are
moved on these wall boards and the
current position can be seen at a
glance. No copyright, I nope. Doctor,
for many of the other boys might use
your plan advantageously.

THE BANKER'S TRUSTS
It Is Backbone of all Other Trusts John
D. Rockefeller Is at The Head of
N - It. ;'-
The bankers' trust is described by
Prof. Commons as follows:
The proper way to study the trust
question Is to go through the list of
trusts and seek out the particular legal
obstacles by which each one has kept
competitors from reaching a market
on equal terms:
The first obstacle in the way is the
bank monopoly. I said that capital is
abundant at low rates of interest. But
capital Is different from money. Money
may be cornered, while capital is
abundant. No matter how low the
rate of interest, if you cannot get
money on equal 'terms with your com
petitor you are crowded to the wall.
It is not low rates of interest, but
equal rates that enable the new com
petitor to come in.
But the rate of interest you pay de
pends also on your own personal credit
If your credit is not good you will pay
high rates evea though capital and
money are abundant. Now credit is
the very heart of modern business. He
who cannot get credit cannot get mon
ey and is out of the race. The con
trol of credit is in the hands of the
banks. If the banks get together and
form a bankers, trust, then they have
the power to discriminate against the
credit of the small competitor. They
can prevent him from getting money
when he needs It. They can depress
the value cf his stocks so that they
will not be accepted as collateral.
They can discount his bills at ruinous
rates. They can make his collections
difficult. Soon he is compelled to sell
out to the trust on its terms. The
banking monopoly is the one serious
monopoly that dwarfs all others and
support all others. And this banking
monopoly has already been practically
attained in the city of New York, "the
money center of the country. It is al
ready reaching out for other cities.
Boston and Chicago already have felt
it. Small banks, are taking alarm.
Through it? influence on the money
market it controls all other enterprises
Through its correspondent banks it
has representatives in every city and
town of the United States.
This trust has not yet been formally
organized, tW it is effective in the fol
lowing ways:
First the consolidation of banks and
trtxst companies.' Several consolida
tions have been made in New York
within six months.
Second, interchange of directors:
When the directors in the more pow
erful banks have seats In other banks,
they control their policy.
Third, intimidation of the smaller
banks.
By these three methods the banks of
New York are practically joined in a
trust, and the Standard Oil company,
is its organizer and backer. The Stand
ard Oil Trust has for thirty years fed
on railroad favoritism. Now it is feed
ing on bank favoritism. Through rail
road discriminations it ruined its
competitors in oil. Through bank
discriminations it is swallowing other
industries. It already has control of
salt. It raided the stock markets
through its control of government de
posits, and in the destruction that fol
lowed it seized the gas and electric
light companies of New York and got
the copper stocks of Boston at half
their value.. In these cases It gained
a controlling part of the stock. But
this controlling ownership is not al
ways necessary. Having gotten the
bank monopoly, every other corpora
tion i3 eager to have a Standard Oil
man on its board of directors. One
Standard Oil 'man on the board of di
rectors of a corporation has more In
fluence than all the rest the others
know that he holds the whip he con
trols their credit, which is the very
breath-of their life. Or, what is bet
ter, he controls the credit of their com
petitors. Even the greatest railway
in the world, the New York Central, is
glad to welcome William Rockefeller
as the director of Its secret delibera
tions. The policy of the railroad
henceforth is the policy of the Stand
ard Oil and the banking monopoly;
"The same is true of trusts and other
corporations. It is no surprise that
one of the independent tobacco manu
facturers was recently unable in New
York to get a loan even on govern
ment bonds and was compelled on that
account to sell his factory to the to
bacco trust. With a Standard Oil bank
dj rector on the board of the tobacco
trust he was a. spotted man at every
bank and trust company in the city.
He might perhaps have gone to a
country bank, for. not all of them
have as yet learned to bend the knee,
but his experience" in New York ' was
enough for him. He had hitherto com
peted successfully with the tobacco
trust,' but he was doomed' when he
struck the bankers' trust. -
The bankers' trust is becoming the
backbone of all the trusts. They all
must sooner or later articulate from
this if permitted to continue.

PARTISAN INSOLENCE
Montgomery, Ward & Co., PreTent W. J
Bryan From Speaking- on the
Lake Front In Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 2. In view of the ac
tion of Montgomery, Ward & Co. in
interfering to prevent the erection of
a tent on the lake front, in which it
was announced that William J. Bryan
would speak, the democratic national
committee feels it. to be its duty to
take some step to prevent the recur
rence of such outrages upon the right
of free speech.
The committee was loath to believe
that men prominent in commercial cir
cles would resort to such means In or
der to accomplish partisan ends. The
committee recognizes in this kind of
coercion and Intimidation of voters
and interference with the rights of
American citizens, a growing political
evil which must be checked sooner or
later, and believe that this is the best
possible time to check it. The inter
ference of Montgomery, Ward & Co. to
prevent Mr. Bryan from speaking on
the lake front, where Grand Army of
the Republic tents were erected with
the consent of this firm and where Mc
Kinley wagons have held forth daily
at the noon hour 4n the interest of
McKinley's re-election, and where the
same firm piled its building material
for months while erecting its new
building, is of a kind with the action
of Mr. Griggs, member of a St. Paul
Wholesale firm, who announced that
he would discharge any travelling man
employed by the firm who would vote
for Mr. Bryan.
The national committee believes
that the only way such evils can be
checked Is by the people themselves.
That the people may know what has
been done and act accordingly, the
committee proposes to give the widest
possible publicity to the action of this
Chicago firm. Senator Jones, chair
man of the committee, has prepared a
letter "which was sent together with
an account of the affair to the follow
ing persons:
The officers of the 20,000 clubs in
the National association of democratic
clubs with directions that it be distri
buted among their 3,000,000 members.
"The 40,000 precinct representatives
of the democratic national committee.
, The 6,000 friendly newspapers on the
rolls of the press bureau.
. It will also be printed in the' two
official publications of the committee,
"The National Democrat" and "The
Working Democracy," with a com
bined circulation of 100,000.
Senator Jones letter follows: .

'"Dear Sir: I enclose you. an ac
count, taken from the Chicago Ameri
can, of the conduct of Montgomery,
Ward & Co., this city.
"The proscriptive spirit evinced by
this firm should' be resented and re
buked by all lovers of political free
dom and fair play.
"Remember the .name; keep a rec
ord of it; see that your neighbors
know it; . and . that this action Is not
now nor hereafter forgotten.
"The people alone can correct this
growing evil, this spirit of coercion
and intimidations. Let them act.
.. . "JAMES K. JONES,
"Chairman Democratic National Com
mittee." .
Speaking of the action of Montgom
ery,. Ward. & Co., in preventing Mr.
Bryan from delivering an address In
a tent on the lake front Mr. Abbott,
manager of the bureau of the national
committee, said:
"Montgomery, Ward & Co. do a big
mail order business with the farmers
in the western states, who are almost
to a unit for Mr. Bryan. The action
of the firm in enjoining the erection of
the tent for Mr. Bryan is looked upon
by everyone as being nothing but a
piece of cheap, insolent politics. It
puts the house of Montgomery, Ward
& Co. right on a plane with the whole
sale house in St. Paul, which an
nounced that if any of its employes
voted for Bryan they would be dis
charged." .
Bryan's Eloquence
Editor Independent: I have re
ceived the papers containing the ex
cerpts from Bryan's speeches col
lection of literary gems as well as
political thoughts. But at the pop
ulist delegate convention at Lincoln
at the close of a short address, coun
selling unity of purpose and action,
some one asked Bryan why he had
favored the signing of the peace trea
ty. His reply, thrilling and extem
poraneous, contains the following bit
of oratory that deserves to remain a
gem of literature for all time.
Reply to the assertion that the Phil
ippines were ours because we had
bought them for $20,000,000 and there
fore had a right do as we pleased with
them, he said:
"We tell them they bought the Fili
pinos for two dollars and a half apiece.
They reply, WTe bought the land and
the Inhabitants go with the land-'
"Yes, you place value on the soli,
but when that clay is moulded by the
Divine hand into the Image of Its
Maker has breathed Into It the breath
of life, and becomes a living soul, you
count It of less value than the earth
from which it was made."
In giving utterance to the above his
whole being was exalted, his counte
nance shone with the pure light of
truth and rectitude. Mingled with
condemnation of a position so out of
harmony .with God and nature.
