An Original Economist.

He is one of the city's busiest men
and his acquaintances were greatly sur
prised when they saw him wandering
down the street at a leisurely gait, ut
terly refusing to discuss anything in
which he was interested in a financial
way.
You'll have to come around to-mor-
row. he would say. MY doctor says
need rest and change"
IT'S a wonder he didn't order you
to go away from home" said one of
his friends.
Well. to tell the truth, he did say
something of that kind. He said I ought
to make a tour of summer resorts. But
to tell you the truth, 1 firmly believe
that this business Of going away from
home for the summer is two-thiris i'm
agination. That's the theory I'm oper-
ating on, anyhow. A man can make
himself believe that he is sick. and he
can likewise be hoodwinked into the
idea that he is cured when there is
really something the matter with him
Amy book on mental phenomena will
tell you so. Now, | can't possibly af-
ford to take the time for such an out
ing as he suggests. So I'm going to
the office of a friend of mine who has
an electric fan and sit down under Il
for an hour or two. I have a pamphlet
describing one of the most celebrated
mountain resorts, and as I sit there II
read it and make myself think I am
out on the piazza at an altitude of sew
eral thousand feet above the level o1
the sea, drinking the bracing zephyrs
! that blow over the crags and crests
After that | am going to the drug store
| and sit down on a chair and drink
mineral waters-any kind at all so Ions
| as they're unpleasant to the taste. Ther
| I'll take another pamphlet and read
| about the delights of a stay at the
| springs. After I get through there II
| visit a Turkish bath and get into tbs
| plunge, imagining that | am taking 2
| bath at the sea shore. It'll take a whole
/ day of my time to do all this. But
/ am going to sacrifice the time. for
| may as we'll confess that my doctor

he judgment when plenty of men did
not make up their minds until they
heard expression from Webster, Clay,
Calhoun, Marcy, Seward ct ais.
The essayist gives two causes for the
disappearance of large men from the
arena of discussion-frst the theoretical
responsibility to constituency; second
and the main reason, responsibility TO
those from whom they get permission
to contend for the prizes of public life"
That is TO say. the machine and its
masters, the bosses, they and not the
people, are their real masters exclaims
the essayist.
1t may be easily fancied what fur
ther Mr.. Godkin has to say OF the ma
chine and the boss, the power of the
latter and the far-reaching of the
former But what does he find
for these influences and for the peo-
pie in the future? He discovers signs
of hope, hope for the time when public
men viii be free men; when nomina-
tions will be honest expression of gem
eral party desire. This he looks for
ward to because it is a truism that gen
eral recognition of an abuse is the first
condition for it's successful removal.
Legislation regarding primaries has
been had in several States with view
to correcting evils, and this is evidence
of public consciousness of the need. In
some States the effort is afoot to abol-
ish conventions and compel primaries
to nominate, which would be a severe
blow to bossism, if voters could be got
to attend. Independent voting has
ceased to be a remedy, because it in
wolves abandonment of any share in
the work of selecting party candidates,
and takes out of each party a large
body of thoughtful and patriotic voters,
needed in party if it is to be effective
for good. In fact, and this is expression
from Mr.. Godkin, the great apostle of
''independent-isn" II do not think L
err in saying that the power of the ma
chine and Of the boss over nominations,
has increased 'pari passu' with the
growth of Independent voting"

HER HUSBAND rs CURED.
He No Longer Stays Out Until the
Small Hours.

These two married women are very
intimate friends and talk about the
skeletons in their respective closets
without reserve.
I'm going to ask you," said the
younger, how you cured your husband
of staying out late at nights. I've
coaxed Frank, reasoned with him, and
scoldad like a terma CANT, but it has
done no good. He seems to think that

but this is how / dealt with Robert.

ing out very late, but ona night came

Yes, I did, and Robert heard me.
He banged the door once or twice,

The sixteen to one men are now

keep abreast under normal conditions,
whereas present conditions are abnor-
NAL. Do they. indeed. keep abreast
under normal conditions? From 1865
to 1898 the statistics show that wheat
and silver rose and fell together. or
nearly simultaneously just ten times.
Were the other eighteen years abnor-
NAL? Or We're the ten instances of
coincidence nothing more than that
The fact is that the nearest wheat and
silver ever approached each other in

DANGER AND HOPE.

Comptroller Eckles says in his recent
essay in the North American Review"
that on the menace of legislation and
of too much legislating and attempts to
square all human activity by legisla-
tive rule and compass of the party in
power, our dangers lurk. He adds:
The general public cannot believe
that everyone engaged in business,
whether that business is of large or
small proportions, is an enemy to the
people and a despoiler of the country.
Fortunately, a point has not yet been
reached when the accumulation of cap
ital and the earning Of a substantial
income is looked upon by the majority
of the people as a crime against socie-
ty. 1t is also doubtful whether all vir-
tue and disinterested patriotism rest in
those who constitute the enacting pow
ers. If, as has been argued, a notable
decline has come about in the moral
tone and statesmanlike ability OF the
men who are elected to legislative
places, not the least reason for it rests
in the loss of respect for the legislative
office itself-a thing made possible only
through rendering it by such a course
Intellectual as an agency for public
good But these results are of small
consequence as compared with the i'm
measurably greater evil of that threat
ened deadening of individual effort in
the business world through the force
of paternalistic legislation. The evil
deneeS accumulate with each successive
session of every legislative body of a
lack of the citizens reliance on self. and
in that self-abnegatfon he is given en-
couragement by too willing legislators
In the end, however, he must fall back
on the struggle for existence upon his
own energy, ability, integrity, pru-
dence, and judgment. The danger
springs from the discomfort bred when
at last it is found that the Government
is powerless to aid and the legislation
relied upon, instead of benefitRng has
proven to be a hindrance through its
attempting to regulate things beyond
its province.
Which is philosophically reasoned
But while the ends of justice and the
recognition Of merit are being attained.
what a vast deal of injustice and use
less human suffering will be. visited
up only through the smoke and heat of
"deadened individual effort in the
business world and through the fires
and lurid flames of "paternalistic legis-
lation."
For if we understand the essayist he
is of the belief that truth will only be
burned into the souls of men concerning
these matters. We. however enter
tain the hope that human intelligence,
the sense of justice and the ability
through reason to perceive the truth.
Will enable us to reach plane upon
which legislation will not be aimed at
honest Individual effort, nor made an
agency for the crushing out of the spir-
| it of enterprise no matter how gigantic
