GOOD. TIMES COMING.

IT expect to see the times improve
steadily from now on. We are going
to have period of gold imitation. and
the golden era is about to come. We
will produce more than 5000, 900 900
worth Of gold in the world this year.
and the greater part Of this will go
into circulation. There are new gold
fields being discovered in all parts of
the world, and the probability is that
the output will increase rather than
diminish. Now, the big countries of
Europe have been boarding gold for
some time. They have their strong
boxes practically full in preparation
for possible wars in the future. They
will hoard no more, and the surplus
from now on will go into circulation.
There will be billion dollars worth
Of gold thrown into the worlds cir
culation during the next five years. and
this will create at least a billion dol
lars Of credit money. The result will be
a gold imitation and the prices of every
thing will rise"
Twill there be a panic at the end of
It ?"-------.-----
"Yes. the panic will come sooner or
later. Prosperity and the reverse move
In waves. and we are bound to have
our ups and downs just about SO
pften."
''How about interest rates? Have
they not got to the bottom?"
mo I think not" replied Mr.. Clews.
Interest is falling and will probably
fall. The low rate Of interest depends
upon credit Our government has such
good credit that it can get money
very cheaply. 1t is so with our bust
ness men. They are known to be good
and every one wants to lend to them. II

Worse Than Theater HATS.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Don't you think 1t would be both 'kind''
and polite II some one for just one sea-
son, would turn the tide of articles on
"theater hats to few Of the other
nuisances so common in. our stheaters?- ,
The "theater hat" Is an abomination, and
I do not know of anything more trying
than to pay for seat at the opera and
be obliged to catch occasional glimpses of
worldwide celebrities through the prongs
OF an Alsatian bow or the outstretched
wings Of a bird that once longed to be
free. But is even that very much worse
than sitting at the end Of row and being
obliged to hug ones knees and protect
ones nose while five or six men drag past
one as many times during performance?
1t may be that they, too, are from the
country" but don't think our rural
orchestra chairs, and /. believe IL they did
thing. without. an occasional 81 beg your
pardon >
The Star Is always kind to women, and
I am glad that every one is willing to
acknowledge 1t, for no matter what the
divorce case, what the scandal in the
courts or what the street occurrence, when
our other papers grab at 1t with sensa-
tional type The Star always comes out
like a gentleman with his hat in his hand
and never throws an unjust stain upon
the woman.
Will you not, then, Just stand by us
in this little thing and let the public know
that q few Of the sufferers in the theater
are WOMEN.

Sunday Rest.
To the. Editor of The Evening Star:

To the. Editor Of The Evening Star:
In strong confirmation CT the closing
paragraph of Rev. DR.. Elliott's able article
on the Sunday question: which appeared
in The Star Of last Saturday. allow me to
say that while on my way to church yes
terday morning palm Sunday, between
the hours Of 10 and II o'clock, 1 counted
twelve open stores in two squares on 7th
street northwest. and in several Of them I
noticed the handling Of goods in the or
dinary transaction of business. And these
were not all candy and tobacco" stores
either. Among them were groceries. dry
goods, gents furnishings, clothing, shoes.
etc. And on my return home, over the
same territory, about 1 o'clock, I noticed
that but three OF them had closed in the
meantime.
Inasmuch as 1t cannot be truthfully
claimed that these Sunday openings are of
public necessity" how can they be other
the Christian? Do not such things disturb
his peace of mind and distract his thoughts
from the channel of peaceful and undis-
turbed worship on the Lords day"-and,
as such. to be prohibited?
And the worst of it Is, perhaps the pro-
prietors of these places are not all, if any
Of them, heather Chinese" nor all Jews"
or Seventh Day Christians" And from
personal observation in this particular 10
eality, especially-and presume there is
but little exception to its general preva-
lence-I am persuaded that this demoraliz-
ing Sunday traffic Is on the increase, and
without legally enforced repression we may
well ask whereunto will this thing grow, If
not eventually, to mo SABBATH at all,
with all its dire consequences?
Why. therefore, should the intelligent
law makers Of the land, to whom the whole
people-and this municipality more espe-
cially-look for protection, hesitate in such
an all-pervading question of moral and ma
terial safety to the community. irrespective
OF race, creed. politics or nationality

siolerA and Police.


The District Commissioners and the met
rcpofitan police ferce were severely critI-
cised by several ofo the speakers at the
meeting held yesterday afternoon in the
Metropolitan M e. Church in the, interests
Of the anti-Division crusade. The attend
ance was as large as the church could ac-
and the interest of those who
composed it was attested by the frequent
applause which greeted the addresses made
from the platform. artottt .o.rt
Rev. DR.. Hugh Johnston, pastor of the
church, opened the proceedings with an an
nouneement OF the purposes of the. Anti
Division Association. He declared that the
Division was cesspool of immortality and
vice, whose existence was ,conniyed at by
the city authorities. If it was to be abol-
ished, the people must demand the enforce
ment of the law which would accomplish
this purpose. tz-.4....i ..si4
Rev. DIR. Baldwin read from the Scrip
lures, ana Rev. DR.. Milburn, the blind
chaplain OF the Senate, offered a fervent
prayer for the success Of the object of the
association, and Rev. d. w. Skellenger fol-
lowed with an address. He said the Divis-
lon was like pool of poison in the center
or the nations capital, to which the au-
thoritfes pointed, saying to the young, Go
and drink to your hearts content?' He was
amazed at the claim of those authorities
that such place was necessary. He called
attention to the fact that it was within
four squares of university where LOO
young men were students, many attending
the evening classes, and under the constant
,nhuence OF the invitation thus held out.
In conclusion Mr.. Skellenger declared
that there would be no use Of reform talk
unless the people would come to the as
sistance OF the association and parents, in
the interest of their children, should wipe
out the pit The address was frequently
lnterrupted by applause. President w. L.
bruen OF the association next spoke. He
read from an immoral paper published in
Chicago advertisements of disreputable
houses In Washington, and, comparing
tneir number with similar announcements
from other cities, declared that the result
showed that Washington was the most de-
graded city in the United States. Mr..
Bruen then paid emphatic attention to the
district Commissioners. They had ut their
command 463 policemen; one for every two
scarlet women, but had recently caused
tnese officers to conduct a reform crusade
against few tarber poles and carriage
docks. The Commissioners are now. he
declared, extending an Invitation to the
christian Endeavorers' convention. The
White Lot should be christaned the black
iot Tor the occasion, for he could see hun
dreds 81 young men who will camp on that
lot falling into the bordering haunts of
vice. -

Abolishine the Social, EVIL

To the Editor Of The Etening Star:
OF late much valuable newspaper space
likewise much time-more or less valuable
has been given to the avowcd effort ito
abolish the social evtl.' Now, this is
subject not generally the topic of conyersa-
ton in respectable circles; but inasmucl
as the matter is brought into our families
by even 50 proper a journal as The Star, 1t
may be touched upon here. For one, be-.
lieve that the men and women who pro-
pose to abolish the social evil have on
hand a very large, If not remunerative
contract. An effort to compel all bach
eloIs to marry" or to change human nature
would be just about as promising. How
ever, this fact only concerns the persons
engaged in this mIch-advertised crusade
=, Another phase eof the smatter, however,
concerns the general pubHc.s:It is the eff
fort to drive out thefF"business people,
who aave made the .t'Dipision'a their par
ticular stamping ground. Suppose they are
compelled to remove-will this business
cease? 1 think no one believes this. On
the contrary, it will continue as long as
human nature is what it is, and these par
ticular places. instead of being corralled in
certain precinct, easily controlled and
kept under the eye of the police, will in
wade respectable localities everywhere, and
as vice always fourishes most In secret
that which is now bad will become many
times worse. My opinion, therefore, Is THAT
the whole ms tier had better be left to
the authorities to Geal with.
