1t cannot be said that in calling for
popular subscriptions to a bond issue of
one hundred million dollars the admin
istration Is yielding to popular senti-
ment, for the popular demand has never
been against it and the peoples voice in
a country which boasts itself Of a "vox
populi," has been too feeble to reach the
ears OF au administration diseased with
Anglo-phobia. 1t Is more to be pre-
sumed that the appeal to Il wi peo-
pie was necessitated 10y the refusal OF
European investors TO nave anything to

this particular time 1t is the best thing
