Food For Refleotion.
From Omaha Herald

There is food for reflection i'm Tie
commercial figures for fhe month OF
May The number of business failures
last month was the greatest ever known
for the month OF May, and not only
this but only six other months have
shown as great total of liabilities =
The number of failures was 947, and
the total liabilities S23.77l.l5l. The
failures for the previous May numbe~-
ed 5s1. the total liabilities being only
50 820.6S6 An increase of over go per
cent in the amount of liabilities with
in one short year is not calculated to
impress the public with the ide. of
"stable prosperity"
Present conditions are eliminating
the small dealer and the small manu-
facturer The trusts are ruling the
commercial and political worlds Bug
iness failures will continue to increase
unless conditions are changed, and
sooner or later there will be but two
classes the EXTREMITY rich and the ex
treemly poor.
