The further reduction in the bank
of England rate of discount is sig
nificant of general tendencies in the
world’s money markets. Word at
the same time comes from Chicago
that the banks there, which were but
recently refusing io buy commercial
paper at even 6 per cent, are now
discounting It at .r> 1-2 per cent. Thev
are forced to the lower figure by the
fact that western makers of such
paper were finding it possible to mar
ket the same in Boston around per
cent.
Labor union resentment of the
president’s reiterated opinion of May
er and Haywood may easily prove
injurious to the administration cam
paign for Taft in Ohio; at any rate,
such is the rear of the Taft ami ad
ministration partisans. Hut it will
have to be a tremendously strong
resentment to drive the republican
'InUor Vote into ■ the Foraker-Dick
camp. There Isn’t much there to
draw this vote.

balloon can be practicably us«*d.
The record so far is held by the
Midget, made of Japanese silk and
with but 17.000 feet capacity, which
has made several successful tours,
carrying two passengers. Most of
the balloons in use have been more
than twice as large as this.
The statue of Francis Scott Key,
author of “The star Spangled Ban
ner.” for which $25,000 was given
to Baltimore by the late Charles L.
Barburg, will be designed by A. Mer
cie, a prominent French sculptor. At
the same time it is announced that
Jean Paul Lourens, the noted French
painter, has been ••ommlssioned to
paint four panels in the room of
the orphans’ court in the Baltimore
court house.
It la reported that a way has
been found for making a paper which

In Rnglnnd, too, is the pay of
school teacher* becoming a present
issue, and the figures given out In
connection with tin* controversy at
West Ham show that the teachers’
lot Is a hard one. in 1901 a new
scale with a substantial Increase was
adopted, yet the salaries of nun
ranged only front $r>no to $875 a
year, nnd of women front $125 to
$550. Th«* case is even worse under
the graded scale to come into opera
tion next month, with a minimum of
$100 for men and $:!2."> for women,
t’nderpaylng teachers is a short
sighted policy, for national efficiency

quality of the Instruction given, and
it is folly to expect teaching at the
i price of day labor.
A curious case is that of late John
Porterfield of Allegheny, Pa., who
tiled a few months ago. When he
made hi* w ill in 11*0 I. leaving
about $175,000 to charity, he esti
mated his estate to he worth $500,
000. His executor has now discover

$1,000,000. and apparently the

proportionately.
It Is like <;«v. Smythe of the Poca

The time has arrived when then

‘•row off the chains that hind your
i olitical liberties. Let your polltl
al master understand that the time
for a change has come and that the
'ople must rule.
Still the light for better govern
ment in Minefield goe • on and the
movement is gaining ground every
day. The people are just beginning
o believe that, with proper effort
ey can put the political gang of
s city out of business.
Two girls were recently arrested

he regarded strictly It destroys the
usefulness of the city health officer,
and makes him a needless and cosily
appendage to the city government.
The new law provides that tho
council shall ‘’nominate” atul the
state board of health “appoint”
throe Intelligent and discreet per
sons, one of wjioin shall he a physi
cian who, together with the mayor
and city solicitor, shall constitute
tho local hoard of health. Their
powers are the same In the city as
the county board In the county. The
physician so appointed shall he the
health officer of the city, and the
city shall pay him. Their “duties
and powers within the corporate lim

No ono can comprehend the pur
pose of such a transparently unfit
and Inappropriate law. The duties
<»r state and county boards of health,
and city health officers are Incom
patible and Inconsistent. Because
<>f the differing conditions existent
in the rural communities and the
' ities the same laws cannot be effec
