Good Times.

Times are as good this year as they ever be-
come. But beginning next year times will be-
come to grow worse ending with panic NO
one pretends that times will be better next year
than they are this year. Business men are Ia
miliar with the rule that after every year or
two of "good times" hard times follow. ~
panic may be expected within two or three
years During "good times," people become
reckless, and invest in all sorts of foolish ell
terprises The result is, that the banks become
cautious. This caution spreads, and hnally
there is panic. After panic, times grow
gradually better until ''good times" arrive
AGAIN. This is the rule in this country; every
eight or nine years, we have "good times" fol-
lowed by panic. We are now having the
"pood times" Look ont for the panic which
always follows.
While times are as good now as they ever he
come. it is nevertheless tact that there are
plenty of poor people in the country. There
are thousands of unemployed men. Times are
never "good' except by comparison. 1t is al
ways difficult to make living. Business IS al
ways fight after the dollars. -htchison Globe.

MRS. BELMONT SAID "NO."
She Refused to Contribute to the Fund for
a British Hospital Ship.

Hot SPRINGS, VA.-It has just become
known that Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont had re-
fused to contribute to the fund which Lady
Randolph Churchill and committee, of which
Lady Randolph Churchill and committee, of
which the Duchess of Marlborough is a men,
Der, is raising in England for an American hos
pital ship for South Africa. Mrs. Belmont was
asked by cable if she would undertake to form
a general committee in conjunction with the
committee in London 10 collect subscriptions.
This she has also refused to do.
Mrs. Belmont was asked why she took the
position indicated. She said she did not feel
that any American should show sympathy
against free people fighting for their rights
and country; and further, that she thought that
any Of the American people who felt inclined
to give money to aid and comfort thouse wound
ed in battle should remember our own men. If
a hospital ship is to be provided by Americans
it should be for use in the Philippines; the
charitable might also rembmber the disabled
soldiers now returned from the Philippines, and
the widows and orphans or other dependents of
the dead might we'll be looked after.
Mrs. Belmont could not understand why
Americans should be asked to interfere in any
complication involving European nation.-

olies and to substitute cooperation or profit
sharing for competition and wage slavery in
our great manufacturing industries. In this
manner alone can the citizen be prot ected in
his individuality, otherwise he must soon be-
come dependent upon corporations for an ex-

thus dependent he ceases to be good Ameri-

upon independence and liberty.
"The individualist who opposes public own
ership on the ground that it is socialistic and
tends to destroy invividualism, should inquire
what the fate of indvidualism will be if the
present corporate mohopolistic rule is continu-

through their respective municipal, state and
national governments, is sufficiently powerful
to combat or overthrow the power of incorpor-
ated wealth.
