Secretary Cortelyou has given Wall street a hint of action necessary in handllDg the currency supply secured by deposits of federal funds and by Importations of gold from London. Mr. Cortelyou, being a man of few words, has not taken the 'trouble to furnish any diagram of his Intentions, but he has declared that "large amounts of money are needed to move the grain of the west and the cotton of the south to the markets, and those amounts must be provided." Mem bers of congress from the west have explained to President Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou that the crops of the country are being tied up because the interior banks are .unable to re call their reserve funds in the New York banks, funds absolutely neces sary for the expeditious moving of the crops, upon which depends the con tinued inflow of gold from .foreign countries. It was on these representa tions that Secretary Cortelyou declared that the money must be provided to move the crops. But one interpretation can be placed upon Secretary Cortelyou's statement. The bankers of New York understand that the deposit of treasury funds Is a temporary expedient, , subject to transfer at any time, at the direction of the secretary of the treasury. They J must understand that unless they re spond to the reasonable demands of the banks of the interior, Secretary Cortelyou will order the transfer of the funds to the points where they are moat needed. There is no desire or disposition on the part of the officials at Washington to have the deposits re turned to lie idle in treasury vaults, but they Insist that, the funds be used to relieve'the legitimate trade and commercial interests of the whole conhtp. The second feature of the situation, which does not reflect credit upon the patriotism of the New York bankers, is the statement of Comptroller Rldgeley, expressing disappointment that the national banks have not taken advantage of their opportunity to In crease the circulation by the issue of new bank notes. Mr. Rldgeley esti mates that under the liberal provision offered in a new ruling of the depart ment, allowing additional use of gov ernment bouds, placed with the treas ury as security for deposits of federal money, for additional bank note Issues, the national banks could have added $250,000,000 to the currency supply. Instead, only about one-tenth of that amount has been issued. The banks have apparently found it more profita ble to loan their funds and securities at a high rate of interest than to use the bonds as note Issue basis. While eager to secure assistance from the government, In the shape of addJUorml I deposits, tney nave enowu no sutncient disposition to join In , the . effort for general relief. Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Rldgeley are making' it rather plain that the banks which persist in refus ing, aid in increasing the circulating medium need not expect additional government deposits. lilE KENTUCKY UPHEAVAL. , .. The republican victory In Kentucky appears to have been more sweeping than was at first indicated. The re publicans elected all of the state offi cers, ,-and now claim control of the legislature, despite the number of democratic bold-overs. The result Is so close in a number of districts that It will require an official count to de termine the successful candidates. The republicans propose also to institute contests in certaln'distrlcts where they assert gross frauds were perpetrated by the democrats la their last expiring effort to retain control of the state. At all events, the elimination of Gov ernor Beckham, who has bossed the democratic machine for the last eight years, aeems to be certain. Although the democratic members of the legis lature are ostensibly pledged to vote for Beckham for United States senator, many of them are openly repudiating their pledges, asserting that the Beck ham tactics were responsible for the i democratic defeat and that his dis astrous leadership has relieved them of all obligation to support him. In discussing 'the results of the election, Governor Beckham took occasion to place the blame for the democratic de feat at the door of Colonel Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. The doughty colonel, Intimating that tbls'is a poor time for Governor Beckham to be making faces at any one, draws this picture of the governor and himself: 1 i The' two are wide apart. They subsist in different hemispheres. The one la a life long place-holder and , place-hunter, man ager of .a bankrupt voting machine and chief of an office brokerage gone into- liqui dation. The other Is a free man, who has always been able to call Ms soul tils own, nor looked to other than his unaided ef forts, along with the sweat of his brow, for his meat, his drink and his respectability. The one has soared In the heavens some times It may be too high above the clouds the other has groveled in the earth, sus piciously close sometimes to a certain hole-tn-the-ground topographically known as a very hot place with a very short name. Home Is the proper retreat for whipped school-boys and beaten bosses, and Bards town should readily suggest Ittelf to Gov ernor Beckham. While It is painful, to find leaders of a great party thus quarreling among themselves, the truth touching the situation, as brought out In the charges and countercharge must offer much encouragement to the republi cans in their plans for keeping Ken tucky Jn the republican column. Col onel Watterson charges Beckham with having wrecked the party for personal political ends and declares with em phasis that the democratic party will have no future in Kentucky until It "frees Itself of dead-weights, re-tligus Itself on Immortal truth and '" itself a set of leaders whom the people may trust and respect." That is a big un dertaking to be accomplished in one year's time and even Colonel Watter son and Governor Beckham must ap preciate the fact that It can scarcely be done short of a miracle. BRITISH COOLXESS TOWARD GKRMAXY Statesmen and politicians who are always looking for signs of war are Just now busy trying to prove the coolness that marked the reception of the German emperor in London to be due to the fact that the kaiser Is con sidered as an enemy to the British peo ple and credited with hatching schemes for military Invasion of England. They have it all figured out that "Germany plans to surprise England some day when it is fully prepared to strike, just as Japan surprised Russia." As a result of this discussion, the British mind lb affected with suspicion of Em peror William's profession of his desire for peace. Nothing more ridiculous has been offered since the alarm of certain American jlngoists over Castro's threat to march the army of Venezuela to lay the United States waste from New' Orleans to St. Paul and then capture the rest of the country at leisure. There Is about as healthy a prospect of a war between Germany and Eng land as there Is between the United States and Mars, and no one appre ciates this more keenly than does Ger many's kaiser and Britain's king. The coolness of the British publty: toward the German emperor is due to commercial and not to military hos tility. It grows out of the "Made In Germany" label found on goods offered for consumption in every market In Europe, to the Intense disgust of the' British manufacturer. The develop ment of industrial Germany has been most rapid, while England has been standing still. The fact Is known and deplored in all the industrial circles of the United Kingdom and accounts, be yond question, for the lack of en thusiasm over the kaiser's friendly visit to his royal uncle at Windsor. TiE jail feed is a cun tract. While the new law abolishing the county Jail-feeding graft, as heretofore practiced by our sheriffs, does not be come effective until January, the pre liminary Bteps must soon be taken by the county commissioners. According to the terms of the law the county board must advertise not later than December 1 for bids for supplying meals to prisoners In the county Jail by contract to be let not later than January 1. The advertisement asking for proposals must contain specifica tions describing exactly what the con tractor is to do and fixing all the con ditions tttporfwhlsh tire-service l-to be rendered. The formulation of these specifications is, therefore, the. most important part of the procedure which devolves upon the county board. The taxpayers want the inmates of the county jail treated humanely and properly nourished, but they do not want the county Jail to become a pop ular boarding house. The meals for the prisoners, should be simple and substantial, with a minimum require ment of solid ingredients and sum- j clent elasticity to allow them to be varied occasionally. The specifications should also .include provision for extra meals to be furnished on special order of the sheriff for women or invalids entitled to better treatment than the ordinary run. When the Jail feeding has gotten down to a system under the'eontract it may also be not lnad-j visable to put up a rule absolutely pro hibiting the bringing in of meals from the outside to able-bodied .prisoners who have money to pay for them or sympathetic friends making gifts. The new Jall-feeding contract is go ing to work a revolution also in an other direction. Heretofore the sheriff has almost invariably kept state pris oners the full thirty days permitted by law before delivering them to the penitentiary, the palpable object being to raka In the profit from the allow ance for feeding them. With no finan cial interest in the Jail-feeding con tract, it will be to the advantage of the sheriff to get rid of these prison ers as quickly as possible in order to end responsibility for their custody, and this will relieve the pressure for room in our county jail to a considera ble degree. If the new system for feeding Jail prisoners works well in Douglas county, aud there is no good ' reason why it should not, we may expect It to extend later to all counties in Ne braska where the Jails have continu ous population. The World-Herald proposea a new presidential ticket to be made up of Chancellor Andrews and Chancellor Day. The World-Herald will find it easy to support the combination by simply digging up its back flies and reprinting all the laudatory effusions it poured forth over Dr. Andrews at the time be was made chancellor of the University of Nebraska by edict of the democratic bosses. An election contest over the road supervisorship of a country precinct is threatened because of the alleged promiscuity around the voting booth of a certain black bottle. Our election laws will have to be changed so as to require the searching of voters and election workers to make sure that they have nothing concealed about their persons that looks like "an In troducer." All the out-going directors of the Grata exchange ' have been re-elected without opposition. So long as the Grain exrhaiiK rontlm;e. to do us well as It has been there will be no disposi tion to force a change In the management. The Independent Telephone com pany Is already asking for the return of the 125,000 which it put up as a forfeit to guarantee acceptance of Its franchise and execution of Its fran chise obligations. Whether it Is enti tled to the return of this money on a showing of construction, work per formed Is, of course, a legal question depending on the wording of the fran chise ordinance, but the people cer tainly supposed that the forfeit was to cover all the promises made, In cluding the supplying of satisfactory telephone service at prices within the schedule of agreed maximum charges. The people had an idea that they were voting to the new company not the mere privilege to tear up the streets and construct a telephone system, but a franchise to give telephone service under stipulated conditions. A cash forfeit la a much better guaranty than the right to start a law suit. Governor Johnson declares that the democrats of Minnesota are for Bryan. That Ehould encourage the Nebraska leader, if he does not stop to think what little figure the Minnesota dem ocrats cut In presidential elections. Jane Addams of Chicago declares that Philadelphia heads the list of cities in neglect of its children. While the indictment is a severe one, Phila delphia cannot but feel a little proud to know that It leads In something. The Nebraska delegation to the Woman's Christian Temperance union Is given credit for taking Mrs. Carrie Nation in as a life member of the or ganization. Nebraska does not need the advertising. San Francisco' has returned more than $100,000 of unused funds that were contributed for the relief of the earthquake victims. That takes the keen edge off some of those graft stories. The president sent a telegram of congratulations to Senator Lodge the day after election. The president Is always doing something no one else would think about. Donah for Cracksmen. Chicago Tribune.

Protection for Feathered Friends. ' Philadelphia Kecord. Tiie statisticians who foot up the loss to the country resulting from tha killing of insect-destroying birds, and from our fur ther neglect to intelligently protect and foster these winged scavengers of the air, puts tha gross sum of 1800,000,000 per year. I We do not know upon what facts or what ; basis of computation this enormous total Is reached; but If It Is one-tenth part truu It is a startling showing. The proposition of the federal government to set aside bird i reservations and breeding grounds where our feathered friends might be protected in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness seems to rest upon sound economical : grounds. It Is a measure of safety for our selves as well as for tho birds. A PEA.MT TRAGEDY. Peril of Dabbling- with the Humble Giber When Loaded. 8 1. Louis republic. With tha report from Fremont, Neb., that a resident of that city died Insane after three weeks of the peanut as an ex clusive diet we have the day's report from Aurora, lit., where a college president, "testing tho peunut" as an exclusive diet, Is reported to be thriving so well on it that he walked fifteen miles on his twenty forth day of peanuts. Of course, both thrsu experiments are equally valueless. It la wull known and well established that Is It highly unsafe to attempt to live on any single article of food whatever. This is establlshel whether the article is iiuatl or peanuts, whether It Is ery rich or very poor in nutriment.

THR FORTl-IXTIt STATE. Oklahoma fflsed I n on Eatranre Iato t'nlen. In accordance with plans heretofore agreed on Oklahnmu formally enters the union of states when President Roosevelt issues his proclamation on Saturday, November IB. Th" forty-sixth star of the new state will bo atDxrd officially to the flag's field of blue on the national anniver sary, July 4, 19i. The forty-sixth stale is a remarkably robust young member of u robust union. Oklahoma will rank twenty-third In point of population, having approximately 1.. uMi.orw people. It has an area of 70,3) square miles, equal to Ohio and Indiana combined. It has B,S miles of railroads, "00 banks, fifty dally newspapers, 24,5 full blooded Indians, 50,670 part Indians, and the biggest constitution In the union, compris ing 80,000 words. Twenty years ago the new state' wss a cattle range and Indian hunting around, populated by Indians und a sprinkling of cowboys and "Booners." The first rush into Oklahoma, the most remarkable In the history of western settlement, was on Mon day, April 23. 1SS9. On the morning of that day Oklahoma City, the present metropolis of the etate, thn known as Oklahoma sta tion, consisted of half a doxen small build ings, the BanU Fe station, section house, United States quartermaster's house, stage office, and a small building used as a hotel. Between noon and sunset of that day Okla homa station became a town of 6,000 peopln. Within a month 1,169 buildings, many of them ugly, temporary affairs, were erected. And so Oklahoma City has continued to grow until it now claims a population of 15,000, modern schools educating 9,484 chil dren this year as against 7,375 last year; buildings (including ten-story sky-scrapers) aggregating In value 116,000,000; banks hav ing an aggregate capital and surplus of $1,(W0.S34, and deposits aggregating $6,549,000; postomce receipts In 190$ aggregating $141.. 69. and freight tonnago Into and out of Oklahoma City in 1306, 1,13.216,903 tons. Factories are springing up. Oklahoma City this year has 2,347 factory employes, a gain of 531 over last year; and 1.176 Jobbing house employes, a gain of 230 for the year. The story of tho rise of two dozen other Oklahoma cities with populations exceeding 10,000 Is almost synonymous with that of the rise of the metropolis. 8uch cities as Guthrie, (the state capital) with 2S.0O0 pop ulation. Tulsa, (In the center of all oil fields), with 20.000 population; Muskogee, Ardmore, Lawton, Bhawnee, Enid. South McAUster, Vlnlta. and El Reno are battling enthusiastically for commercial simr.muov and present Indications are that all these I ciiies win grow and prosper, each sup ported mainly by those farm lands for which It Is the natural outlet to market. Oklahoma alono had In 1906 86,908 fam ilies, of which more than 60,000 owned their homes, and of these 50,000 wuro free from mortgages. The averuge price for Okla homa land in 1906 was $18.23 per acre, an Increase of $3.25 from the previous year. Tho now state has thousands of acres of unappropriated public domain, coal lands of wonderful capacity, oil wells, asphalt beds of great worth,' and all of these prac tically undeveloped, to say nothing of the vastness of Its opportunities to the tiller of the soil. A substantial evidence of the Intellectual worth of Oklahomana generally is the number of modern daly newspapers which they support. Furthermore, th.-y have good schools, libraries and churches. Oklahoma has a modern public school system supported by the income from a $35,000,000 public school fund and local tax ation. The "$35. 000,000 fund" consists of 9,100,875 acres of land, valued at $30.On0.0O0, the income from tho rental of which amounts to about $600,000 per year; and $5,000,000 raid into the school fund by In dian Territory In lieu of land, all' of the S,10P,tS7S acres being In the former Okla homa territory. The original act opening Oklahoma territory to settlement reserved In all that section of the territory then thrown open sections 16 and 86 In every township for tho benefit of the public schools of the future slate. Each nucci s slve act provided for similar reservations and the statehood enabling act made addi tional grants to the higher educational In stitutions, resulting In the blg total above named. The state will decide whether the school lands will be sold. All proceeds from sale of tho school hinds must be turned Into tho school fund and forever remain Intact. The head of tho public school system of Oklahoma Is the State university, located at Norman, open to fe male as well as male students. Rich In natural resources. Oklahoma has every prospect of becoming one of the most wealthy commonwealths of the mid dle west. Its farming lands in some por tions of the state are now worth $75 an acre. All products of the temperate gone tlourish within Its boundaries and cotton la successfully grown In the southern por tion of Its area. Oil, gas, coal, cement, olt, asphalt, building stone and, in fact, all the minerals except the precious ones await the coming and development of en ergy and capital. briefly, the product of the two territories for last year was loO.OuO.OOo buuhela of corn, 20,000.000 bushels of oats, Su.OOO.vAM bushels of wheat, teo.uoo bales of cotton, valued at $40,COo,CjO; $2,&)0.0uu worth of kafllr corn and broom cum of like value. The state has 1.558,i90 head of cattle, 843 000 horses, 600,000, hogs, 160,000 mules, SJ,0V sheep. The market value of the anllnals named is estimated at f'.'UOu.&X). It will have 5, 5" Vi mllfs of railroads, taxed at $J, 000,000. "Oklahoma" is a Comanche Indian word, signifying the "Land of the Fair God." Surely the fair god could not se lect a more comfortable place for a home. For instance, everything good to cat which that distinguished personage might desire la obtainable from Oklahoma soil. V'pon a single Oklahoma farm can be suen growing simultaneously the products that prow in all the states from Minne sota to Florida and from Maine to Cali fornia. Corn and cotton thrive side by side.

An occasional defeat might be excused even in a peerless leader, but what la to be said of a "logical candidate" for presi dent whose state has gono agulnst hira In every election since Wj. But there is another and an even more conspicuous negative result which Mr. Bryan seems to have played an Important part In the bringing about. In Nebraska, his home sphere, the populists and the democrat! got together and made up a conjoint ticket In opposition to that put up by tha republicans. Mr. Dry" was Instrumental In bringing about this fusion movement, and he wrote the platform upon which the fusion campaign was steered. He also made speeches advo cating tha election of tl.o fusion ticket. But Nebraska elected the full republican state ticket by about 20.000 majority. Bryan has succeeded In fusing the pop ulists and democrats of Nebraska in nine electoral campaigns since 1897, and in not a single Instance since that dato has the home atate ticket, which he has been in strumental in forming, been a winner. In one year the presidential year of 1904 Nebraska snowed under the ticket which Bryan Indorsed by IM.000. In lfcO, when he himself waa a candidate, his own state went against him by a plu rality of nearly 8,0U). Bryan enthusiasts, however, seem to care next to nothing about results. The Peerless One is not to be measured by the usual standards upon which political estimates are based. Win or lose, Mr. Bryan continues to shine refulgent. As a democratic presi dential candidate he la always In full bloom. Even now the query Is going the rounds In democratic circles: "If not Bryan, who?" House Ballt to Saua. Wall Street Journal. The house of American prosperity la built to withstand storm and flood. The plain, every day observer, who does his work, kvepa hi eyes and ears open as to what Is doing, and what is being overdone, has the satisfaction of seeing that most of the evils of too rank a prosperity are fad ing away under the light of publicity, and that the solid foundations and all that Is safe in the superstructure are built to survive.
