MONEY QUESTION
A LIVE QUESTION FOR WALL
STREET FINANCiERS.
But. They Tell the People the Money CUES.
ton Is 4 Dead Issue. According to the
Wall Street Journal. Speaking to Finan.
ciers, II Is Of Vital Importance.

In its issue OF Friday, JULY 81, tn,
Wall Street Journal said:
CAS- it was in the beginning OF the year
is now, aud is likely to continue to b.
during all Of 1908, the MONEY question il
the one OF most vital inheritance. There
is nothing in the business situation as il
presente itself at this time, to prevent 9
continuance Of our national prosperity
except the congestion Of the money mar.
ket, due to its inability to expand az
rapidly as the trade and industries OF the
country"
The Journal addresses the bankers
when it reminds them that "the money
question is the one OF most vital i'm.
portance.
When other representatives OF Wall
etreet address the people, the people are
assured that the money question is a
dead issue.
From the standpoint OF these men the
people should not tamper with the money
question. They should not discuss it.
They should not insist upon having a
part in the arrangement Of our monetary
system.
But with the bankers it is different.
They are to be reminded that "the money
question is the one of most vital import
ance," and they are to be counseled to
urge senators and representatives in con-
gress to see that this question is disposed
OF entirely in line with the vital interests
of the financiers.
But when the Wall Street jour adj
mits that "the money question is the one
OF most vital Importance" with what
reason does it assume to draw the line
where the discussion of this question
may terminate?
Does it object to the bmetallists IL. ging
their method Of providing the country
with what they believe to be a sound
monetary system? Or does it insist that
all discussion with respect to this ques-
ton ii ''most vital importance" be linn
tied TO a consideration of the currency
system proposed by the financiers and
that participation in that discussion be
confined to the 6naEciers themselves?
The Wall Street Journal has made a
most interesting confession. Whatever
men may say about the "dead and buried
past" whatever men may say about
"worn.out issues" the indjsputable fact
remains that in the discussion of our
financial system the ''money question
cannot be separated from the money
question.

A GREAT CIRCUS
Campbell Bros Circus
Draws Large Crowds
Tuesday.

When the Campbell Brothers were in
Aberdeen two years ago they gave their
show on the sawdust at H and Third
streets; but their aggregation has grown
to such proportions since then that it re-
gu res about ten acres for their tents.
Therefore when here Tuesday they occu.
pied Athletic park on the upland. Al
though such distance out, the pavilion
was we'll crowded both at the afternoon
and night opening. Owing to the late
arrival OF their train which requires some
thing like fifteen hundred feet of track
and the fact that the street bridge had
to be repaired, it was near four O'Clock
when the first performance began. The
Campbells certainly have big concern,
and they give show full of variety, in
teresting all the way through. Their
ring work is excellent, both lady and
gent equestrians, the ring acts including
Waiting on swift horses. The aerial feats
simply wonderful in thrill and daring. A
large family OF Japs are with the show
which We're brought over to this country
by the Campbells, and their gymnastics
and acrobatlc work is truly marvellous,
absolutely startling.
The trapeze work is of the most diff
cult order with new turns all the way
through. This is also true OF the family
OF four whose acrobatic work is, as ex-
pressed throughout the audiences Tues
day, "clear out of sight" The double
vaulting by one Of the interesting men OF
the show is the finest work Of that kind
ever handed down to the people Of Aber-
deem. The pony and dog business,
though but small item in the program,
was the delight Of especially the little
folks and the women, the dogs mounting
and dismounting, jumping banners, and
so on, with the ponies spinning around
the ring at full speed. The clown acts
were novel and pleasant diversion. In
fact, the Campbell Brothers put up a
superb performance without a single
break i the interesting two hours it takes
from start to close. One other thing
about the Campbells-they practice
courtesy in all their dealings and permit
no fakirs, gamblers, or skin game men
with them or on any grounds under their
control. The menagerie is also an in
| teresting feature.

EDISON THEATER
The New Family Theater
Will Open Next Mon
day Evening.

The Edison Family Theater, 81 Heron
street, will open next Monday evening,
with an up-to-date company OF specially
artists. Manager Hrschman has spared
no expense in fitting up the neatest and
cosest little theater on the Pacific Coast
and its being a part Of the Edison The
atrical Circuit is a guarantee that the
performances will be first class, and that
nothing savoring OF vu'garity will be
permitted.
The performances will be continuous,
so that one can drop in at any time of
the afternoon or evening and see per-
Torrance. From 9 to 5 81, and from 80
to 10 80 p. m. the show will be continuous
every afternoon and evening in the year,
except Monday afternoon, at the popular
prices Of 10 and 20 cents, and there will be
five complete performances each day.
The famous Artist Grant will execute
oil paintings for the company, five Ct
which will be given to ladies free each
day, one at each performance, each lady
upon entering receiving ticket emitting
her to chance for the painting.
No drinking Or smoking will be allowed
on the premises, and the management
will spare no efforts to make the Edison
a comfortable and pleasant place for
ladies and children as we'll as men. As
a large sum Of money has been expended
in fitting up the theater, Mr.. Hirschman
is fully aware that to make the venture a
success the shows must be good, and the
conduct OF the place must be such as will
not offend the most fastidous.
