ICES an able financial article from its
neighbor, the New York Tribune, which
points OUT
''First-That in times of initiation and
over-speculation the rising money rate is
a danger signal, warning men not to bor-
row for speculative purposes and prevent
Ing the. outside public from rushing on
the rocks.
'-second-That the rising money rate
which moved the administration to the $685.
100000 bond call was just such valuable
danger signal.
= nird-l hat at no time during the
'tightness' was the rate. for money raised
where the borrower had good security to
offer. but only where the security was in
dustrials of doubtful value.
"Fourth-That, to use the Tribune's ex-
act language last week a mighty wave
of confidence, impelled by the power of
Washington, swept in and overwhelmed the
call money rate, bearing on its crest the
far up the shore toward the market
place."
Graphically put, indeed! There the
able financial man of the administra-
tons own chief organ shows up the
administration as the mere agent of the
wreckers of Wall street, deceiving the
public and extinguishing the danger
signal" by food of treasury money
thereby encouraging the banks of "the
public" onto the rocks by creating a
false sense of security, which the real
situation did not justify. And. to quote
the World, 1.-The worst of it is that Mr..
Gage on Tuesday said that the admin
istration would be doing just this very
thing if 1t issued that bond call. And
on Wednesday Mr.. Gage was down on
the beach waving the false lights Wig
orously. By whose orders?"
1t doesn't require a clairvoyant to
tell from whom the administration
takes it's financial orders. We have
only to look in the direction of those
who are behind the floating of millions
of the securities of industrials of doubt
full value, as the Tribune naively puts
it-in other words, the Trusts, which
Hanna, the administration boss, has
told us are "all right"

enormous success in London and New
York, will be produced here at the
Opera House next Wednesday, matinee
and night. Its production will be
marked with all the attention to seem
cry, costumes and stage garniture
which characterized its run both in
London and in New York. Mr.. Julius
Calm has brought together large

tors. Notably among them, and head
ing the list are, Mr.. Paul Cazeneuve, a
romantic actor of undoubted culture
and great power, and Miss Amelia
Gardner, newcomer. but a lady of
much experience in emotional roles.
The play, we are assured, is as absorb
ing and fascinating as the novel The
dramatist, Mr.. Edward Rose, has done
his work with admirable discretion and
good effect. and those who have read
the book will thoroughly enjoy the
play, while spectators who have not
read the book can follow, and comurt-
bend the substance of the story per-
