RESTORED CONFIDENCE.

A complete proof of the restoration of
confidence in financial and commercial
circles throughout the country is afforded
by the fact that the recent heavy ship.
ments of gold to Europe have occasioned
no alarm whatever, and that the people
everywhere read the reports OF such ship
ments with undisturbed serenity. 1t will
be remem bered that very different feel
ing prevailed in the country when gold
shipments occurred under the Cleveland
administration, and in the contrast be-
tween public sentiment now and what it
was then we have a standard by which to
measure the extent to which the Mckin-
ley administration has revived confidence
and restored the hopefulness of the people.
1t is not difficult to understand why the
present gold shipments create none of the
alarm which was occasioned by similar
shipments before the Republican success
III the elections OF last year. The people
are now aware that We lave at Washing
ton an administration of statesmen who
understand the needs of the country and
are capable of rightly directing its legisla-
ton. The deficit tariff, which has been
the cause Of so many ills in the past and
which com PEELED the Government again
and again to borrow money to pay its
running expenses and to m aintaIn the
gold reserve, will soon be replaced by a
new tariff, which will not only supply an
ample revenue for the Nation, but will
afford protection 10 American industry
and put an end to those heavy importa-
tions of foreign goods which now draw
money away from us to Europe
1t was announced yesterday in New
York that there would be shipped from
that port to Bremen 1917, 900 in gold bars.
and on the same day it was announced
that from Boston a shipment would be
made on Thursday of $500O00 in gold.
From both cities, however, came the fur
ther statement that these shipments are
based solely on business lines and have
been received in financial circles with an
entire absence of tho disquieting uncer-
tainties OF last year. Even the report
that the entire gold exports for the week
will probably aggregate IS, 00o. 900 has not

THE WHEELMEN'S DUTY.

The suggestion made by THE CALL some
time ago that the wheelmen of San Fran
cisco should come to the front and take an
active part in raising money for the COM
pIetion of Balboa avenue has met with q
response sufficiently favorable TO encour-
age the hope of good results in the imme-
diate future. Several wheelmen have
shown a willingness to take the leadership
in a movement to interest all the bicycle
clubs in the work, and there can be no
doubt they will receive q cordial support
from their fellow cyclists.
To assist in the work of constructing the
avenue and to take leading and prom
inent part in raising the money necessary
to complete it is a duty which the wheel
men owe to themselves and to the City.
The proposed avenue will be largely
for their benefit. They will de-
rive more pleasure from it, perhaps,
than any other class of citizens.
1t is, therefore, with justice and reason
that the people of the City look to
the wheelmen to bear a share of the
cost of constructing the road and to per-
form large part of tho task OF raising the
required money.
Where many men are engaged in an
undertaking OF this character not much
will be REQUIRED of any one person If all
do their share. The number of wheel
men in San Francisco is so large that if
each would contribute but very small
sum of money the amount now needed to
put the avenue into good condition
through hout its extent would be very small.
If, therefore, the bicycle clubs take up the
subject vigorously they would not have to
ask heavy contributions from their m an
bers in order to make good showing of
civic patriotism by raising sum which
would assure the completion OF the work
on the avenue without delay.
The work that has been thus far done in
prom oting the enterprise has been in the
highest degree gratifying. The contribu-
tions OF money have been prompt and
liberal, and have come from sources suffi-
GENTLY widespread to attest that the in
terest taken in the subject IS shared by
the people generally, and that the move.
ment is in the fullest sense of the word q
pu blic enterprise. By means OF the money
thus raised EN- ployment has been afforded
to many industrious men, who would
otherwise have been without work and
wages, and whose families in many cases
would have been left destitute. The City
has made headway in the construction of
a thoroughfare which will be one of the
most famous in America. These are good
results and the wheelmen Of the City
might take a just pride in alIying them
selves with such an enterprise, and giving
it such aid and assistance as will render
its completion assured " the near future.

THE WOMAN'S CONGRESS,

In reply to the welcome which was ac-
corded her by the audience at the
omans Congress on the opening day,
Mrs. Helen III. Gardener stated that.
while she lived and was educated in the
East, she had noted and has repeatedly
stated at gatherings in all parts of the
country that the most progressive work of
the time is being done in the West. We
may rightly accept this as something
more than com plimentary phrase. The
greeting given to Mrs. Gardener was sim
cere and it is but just to accord to her an
equal sincerity in her response to it.
Ii the most progressive work of the
time is being done in the West and if this
fact has been noted by obseryant and re-
hectlng leaders OF thought and action in
tue East then We have encouragement to
go forward in what We have begun. It is
time for the West, as we'll as for won en-. to
open what DR.. David Starr Jordan so aptlv
called "the sealed orders under which
we have been working in the past. 1t is
time for US to read the signs of the age. to
know where we are going and to work
energetically to reach the destined mort
by the nearest courses and the most favor
able winds which science and experience
can reveal to us.
1t goes without saying that the men of
California and of the Greater West count
much upon women to aid them in the
great task of attaining all which destinv
promises. We are SO near to the pioneer
days that We have not forgotten the emf
nent services which were rendered IN the
upbullding OF our young commonwealth
oy those brave women who shared all the
dangers. trials and hardships of those
struggles which were necessary to convert
the West from its former condition into
Its present stage of civilization and pros-
perity.
Knowing these things accom- plished bv
women in the past it is easy for us to
understand how much help can be given
by women in solving the problems of the
future. and in the West, therefore. it is
inevitable that woman should be accorded
a recognition in every arena of human en-.
deavor into which she was willing to ven
ready to take part.
The Woman's Congress will therefore
receive in this City the attention which it
SO well merits. Our people recognize that
among those who are 10 take part in its
debates and discussions are some of the
most earnest leaders OF the time, and that
among the problems which it will under
take to solve there are many which rank
among those of the greatest importance
both to society and to individuals. We
have received from Mrs. Gardener the
praise that the most progressive work of
the time is being done in the West. and il
is our duty TO see to it that this COM
mendation will be deserved in the future
as in the past.

After this it will not be a long step
toward the revival of prosperity. Now
that business men are so we'll satisfied
with the outlook that they can watch the
drain OF gold without feeling any uneasi-

before they will begin to engage in those
enterprises which are needed to afford
employment to our people and to develop

in regard to port duties is over we may
