HOW SPAIN WON.

A DISPATCH from Paris quotes Bel
II lamy Storer, former minister to
Spain, as saying that country Is in
better condition than it has ever been.
Business is improving and the people
are prospecting as never before. There
isn't anything so very surprising in
this state Of affairs. Spain has gotten
RID of two possessions that annually
cost the nation more than all its other
items of expense combined-Cuba and
the Philippines.
Defeated in the war with this coun-
try. Spain was yet victorious in that
through the war she was freed of
weights that were dragging her down.
Under the Spanish rule both Cuba and
the Philippines were in a state of con-
tinuous rebellion No sooner would
one instruction be put down than an
other would break out. thus necessi-
tating the maintenance of large stand-
ing armies at enormous expense and a
continual drain on the national re-
sources.
When Spain sold the Philippines TO
the United States for so, 900, 900 she
accomplished the shrewdest rear estate
transaction that any nation has ever
brought about. Well may the Dons be
prosperous.

a UNIQUE IDEA.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS of Chi
cago are advocating something
really new. They want fairy tales put
into the curriculum for pupils in the
earlier grades In support of their
proposition they argue that it will be
easier to interest the youngsters in
history and other necessary studies if
they can start them off with fairy
tales.
We may be somewhat dense, but we
fail to see the connection. It is per-
haps true that there may be some like
ness between certain versions of his
torical events and history, but the
teachers could hardly be persuaded to
admit that. History can be made in
teresting without first impIanting in
the youthful mind a belief in sprites,
gnomes, elfs and the other delightful
people of fairydom-
The Herald has no objection to fairy
stories. They have a place in the life.
we might say the education, of every
child. No boy or girl is ever hurt by
reading clean stories of fairyland. but
just how they can be taught, through
fairy tales, TO love history, the Chi
cago teachers do not make exactly
clear.

GROWTH BY SURGERY.

UIUHICH OF YOU by taking
" thought can add one cubit unto
his stature?" Hundreds and hundreds
OF years ago this question was asked,
and the wise men who heard it were
silent. Thousands and thousands of
times since it has been asked. and I'M
til recently no affirmative answer has
ever been dreamed Of But the az
firmative answer has come. By taking
thought at least fraction OF an old
Roman cuhit has been added to the
stature of Seth Williams Of New York
City.
Mr.. Williams is an electrician. A
long time ago he met with an accident
which resulted in a curvature of the
spine. The deformity was so pro-
nounced that it was impossible for him
to stand upright. The case was
brought to the attention OF some sur
geons and they asked Williams for
permission to operate on him. at the
same time assuring him that a fatal
result was a decided probability.
Nevertheless. Williams consented.
The lisaments of the spinal column
connecting the vertebrae were torn
apart and spliced. Then williams was

PIMcHIMe THE SHORTS.

THE GENERAL PUBLIC can well
l afford to smile at the painful po-
sition occupied just now by certain
members of the Salt Lake mining ex-
change They are the gentlemen who
have been extremely busy during the
last few days selling stock which they
never owned and never expected to
own. Now they are being called on to
deliver. and the process is extremely
painful The trouble with the shorts"
is that they knew all there was to
know about mining stock speculations.
Once before they played smash with
the particular stock which is now prov
ing to be their undoing, and they
thought they would be able to play the
same old game in the same old way.
So. when offers to purchase this stock
were made, they Immediately began to
sell it short. That is, they agreed to
deliver it at a certain time and at a
certain price.
OF course. they expected it to fail
far below the delivery price. But the fic-
titious blocks of stock they dumped
on the market failed to have the in
tended effect. Instead Of slumping, the
certificates appreciated in value. They
have kept on approaching, with slight
hurries. until point has been reached
where the shorts cannot cover without
great loss.
The Herald is as full of the milk of
human kindness as any newspaper on
earth, but If IL were called upon to
act as a jury in this case. it could not
Ixr or
the shorts. The pool that controls the
stock has the power, it is understood,
to push the price up to any figure it
chooses. This may mean the wiping
out Of some short interests, and no
body, except those Immediately inter-
ested, need have any regrets.
The short is the natural enemy of
legitimate values. The desire to make
money is deeply ingrained into the ma
ture of the stock broker, and when he
wants a stock to go down it is hard
for him to refrain from tactics calcu-
lated to force it down. AS a result, he
circulates too often stories which are
maliciously false and which are too
often believed.
And another thing. No man has the
he doesn't own. That may be laid
down as a general proposition. When
he sells something he doesn't own, in
the hope of buying it at reduced fig
ure before the day of reckoning, he
is a double offender, for he is giving
himself an incentive to fraud of the
most desDicable character.
These are the reasons The Herald is
unable to work up any sympathy for
the shorts. We would like it to be dis
tinctly understood. however, that we
do not approve of fictitious values.
Mining stocks should be traded in on
their merits alone. The man who
bulls the market is just as bad as
the man who depreciates it, unless he
does so on information which he knows
10 be absolutely accurate.
