AvER1,NG a PANIC.

Some Of the newspapers are criticis1ng
Secretary Shaw for turning loose gov
eminent funds for speculative purposes.
They say that tile money pinch vas
brought on by the SPECTATORS and that
the relief was for their special benefit
That is not fair statement of the
facts The pinch was the result of de-
n,and from the interior for money TO
move the crops. This demand was made
interior are not permitted, under our
nretched system, to issue currency
against their assets. The fault is with
the system. and Secretary Shaw knows
1t, and he very properly came to the res
cue and prevented d panic il Wall Street
II we may judge from some of the cri-
ticisnls we have seen, the critics think
that this was only a Wall Street affair
and that it would have made little diff
ference with the country at large if there
had been a panic That is child's talk
A panic at that time would have meant
failures, and when failures begin there
is no telling where they will end. 1t was
the failure OF a single London concern
several years ago that marked the end
of season OF prosperity and the be-
ginning Of a long period Of adversely,
not only in England, but in the United
States as well!
We want no financial panics at this
time. They are dangerous, whether in
Wall Street or elsewhere. and they Should
be prevented if possible. Secretary Shaw

rHE NEGRO AND HIS PISTOL.

The bad negro and his pistol are again
in evidence. Yesterday he made trouble
at the circus. and when rebuked by
white man he pulled his pistol and fired
with fatal effect
What are we going to do with the bad
negro? He seems to be growing worse
all the time, and tho number of bad ne
groes seems to be on the increase. One
thing is sure, the whites are getting very.
tired of him. and they will not tolerate
MIN forever. 1t is a question for the
good negroes to consider also, for the
entire race suffers for the misdoings of
the lawless element. The bad negro is
making the race problem more serious
every day

Tint is a very fair statement OF the

hold such a. certificate unless he mas

THE CORPORATION COMMISSION
Some people seem to be impatient be-
cause Governor Montague does not an
nounce the names OF the men who are
to constitute the Corporation Commission.
But The Times hopes that the Governor
will not allow himself to be hurried He
has a difficult task before him and the
responsibility is great The men selected
to compose this commission should be
men Of wisdom. even of discretion. men
of character and men OF patriotism. They
should be men above reproach and above
suspicion, men who can and who will
judge fairly and r1ghteousy between the
corporations and the people. The Corpo-
ration Commission should occupy q. posi-
ton scarcely lower than the Court of
Appeals. II SO it will be a success and
will prove a blessing to the State. Cover
nor Montague will do less than his duty
il he does not use his best endeavors to
secure such a commission. and he should
take plenty of time to investigate and
deliberate before making and announcing
his selections. There is no occasion for
hurry.
