NOT DUE FOR TEN YEARS.

The Chicago Inter Ocean had an
interesting article a few days ago on
she possibility Of the longevity of the
present prosperity, and while admit
ting that it has fallen below the
Mckinley times it cannot see that
there is any likelihood of a panic
before ten years shall have passed
away. The Inter Ocean speaks thus
hopefully Of the times in the future
Midsummer finds the United States
with abundant crops, an average for
eign and a growing domestic trade,
and no halts in manufacturing activ-
ity save those caused in a few lines
by differences of opinion as to prices
Of raw materials. Taking the country
as a whole, every really productive
industry and necessary service may be
said to he profitable and prosperous.
from the productive side Of business
there has come a halt whose causes
are apparent. Attempts to antici-
pate future profits Of industry have
heen somewhat excessive, and invest
orS are waiting for these anticlpa-
lions to be realized before reaching
cut farther. However, the masses Of
'undigested securities created in
d last few years are being slowly but
surely absorbed as productive bust
ness oyertakes speculative All we
have to do is to 90 on as we are now.
Yet men walk up and down the
streets showing their heads and talk
ing about depression" They con-
found speculative with productive
business, and think because one has
hnar 1onltn1 f1,n nfhN~ -, L@ fns1
ing. They also forget their history
and chatter about ga panic being
due every ten years." In this they
also confound those money %squeezes''
resulting from excessive speculative
activity with real industrial depres-
sions or panics, resulting from fail
ure Of judgment to profit by past eX-
perience.
The history Of the United States
shows that real panics are to be ex
pected only about every twenty years
that is, at intervals long enough
for a new generation to acquire a
majority control Of business and to
CINE up to the time when it must
learn in the school Of experience.
The working out OF this law may be
observed in the paper money panics
Of 1877, 1887. and 1873, and the tariff
iCfolullou pdIlCS VI 1904 anu 1875.
Between these real panics there were,
as in 1885, money squeezeS caused by
Over-speculation.
That we have fallen somewhat be-
low the high tide of Mckinley pros
perity and are waiting for the realiZ-
alton of the speculative anticlpations
to which it gave rise may she freely
admitted. But with productive or
real business everywhere prosperous
there can be no panic now. Unless
there shall hereafter be more care
than has been displayed at similar
eras IN the past, a real panic may
be looked for somewhere about 1913.
but until then, with the exercise of
ordinary common sense. our prosper
ity may be expected to endure.

1t is noticeable that several papers
In the state are taking a fall out of
the board OF charities and corrections
concerning the recent change in the
deaf mute school management. The
board is charged with many things
that are supposed to work to the det-
riment of the school. Up to the pres
emit no member Of the board has
made any Statement of the real
situation, and we don't believe they
consider the situation serious enough
to make any reply to the charges, but
il it is decided to say anything in

there will be an entirely different

evidence to prove all the board de-

knights distinguished for their achieve

until a knight surprising him in heroic
and warlike attachments should be con
sidered worthy to fill the place. If an

was repealed by some magic power.

there big, brawny Pat Mullins, with a

Gypsies and Death.

The custom of placing the property
of the dead in their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. 1t is due to some old tradition
Of ill luck attending the possession of
an article whose former owner is gone
and much valuable property is buried
in this belief. There is also a senti-
ment among gypsies against the pos
session of anything that has belonged
to a dead person, because it serves to
remind the living Of the departed and
inspire in them a dread of death. The
custom Of burying their property with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his
tory Of the Romany tribes.

loads of wood. In the next season
eighty-two loads were delivered. For
the succeeding winter the total was
