FINANCIAL ERAS

The recent startling disclosures concerning the
methods of Wall street. made by one of the in
side manipulators, have opened the eyes of the
investing public never before These disclosures
were made in sharp contest between the insiders

RUSSIA AND sELF-GOVERNMENT.

1t seems probable that Russia will at last
adopt some form of representative government.
The development and working out of the new sys-
tenn will be watched with interest Hitherto it has
been believed that sef-government in order to sue
ceed needs an educated and sef-reliant people Are
the Russian peasants fitted for the experiment? We
know that the vast majority of them are densaIv
ignorant and intensely superstitious, conditions
that greatly favor the advent of the mpostor and
the fakir in politics. The serfs were enlnncpatod
less than seventy-fve years ago. Nothing has been
done to improve their moral or intellectual conJi
ton. They are yet barbarians Scratch the Rus

The nobility may sincerely desire the uplifting of
the masses. Reform usually means the recognition
of the rights of these masses, the crrtaiiment of
the divine right" privileges of the arstacracy.
Will the good intention of the latter be stro2:,
enough to make it brave the imaginary fears of the
new regime! Will the nobility realize that the p,
itcal and social betterment of the people can only
strengthen It's position if it grasps the situa
ton lnteihgently; that its members by their rank
and education, are looked up TO at present as nat
ural guides, and that they can easily assume The
leadership and conduct the new movement safely
along constitutional lines The danger is that the
aristocracy will let this golden opportunity pass
and will endeavor to continue the old system under
a name.
The present advocates of reform are extremists
and little is known of their plans. Radicals are
good preachers. They are usually failures in the
practical application of their doctrines

DEFECTIVE SCHOOL CURRICULUM.

Popular education is commendable. 1t is pub
lie duty. We do not attack the system-but the
method
About thirty years ago some wiseacre discovered
that the then prevailing method of elementary edu-
cation was wrong. 1t may have been in some re-
spects. No longer should nor could the three Rs
suffice as a basis. The whole thing was antiquated
monkish and could not stand the test. Modern sci
entific processes to be substituted and the
new generation was to be wonder We are
tempted to say a winner What has been the re-
suit! The general verdict of the public of those
who have to do with the graduates is that the in
novation is a failure The methods of the old
schoolmasters were not pleasant, they were over
harsh; but they were successful and the pupil did
learn reading, riting and arithmetic within rea-
sonable time limit. He entered college at reason
able age, thoroughly prepared for his new field of
study He could look to the day when he would
enter upon the pursuit of his life vocation while
yet young Today the business man tells
you that the highschool graduate can neither spell
nor white (Which one will deny as the old song
says); the heads and deans of the universities pro
claim that the graduates come to them ill-prepared
and too Old. Where does the fault lie? Irrespons-
ible, incompetent pedagogues, chuck full of self
sufhciency; childess old maid professors of extra
nature child psychology refrigerated political fad
dists, adverse very often to raising children them
selves, have been allowed to browbeat us and load
down the curriculum of the primary and gram
mar grades with their fads Some of the methods
OF teaching and of school government have been
improved, but the general result has been to over
crowd the curriculum. The time of the pupil is
wasted on non-essentials or on, subjects which he
cannot understand, devoid of any merit as mind
builders or developers SO he comes to the high

SOCIAL OSTRAClSM.

In final analysis, the only excuse advanced by
the advocates of race suicide and of divorce is ind
! vidual sensual qualification In considering these
questions the utter lack of modesty and the
vugarity of these same advocates-if not always in
diction at least in thought-give them a marked
advantage over defenders of the right. Decemcv
prevents the latter from following to the low levels
of realistic discussion to which the former de-
scend Iteration and reiteration seem to have cal
loused the ear of decent people. Statements and
talks which ought to call forth the severcst rebuke
as utterly unfit subjects i'll the presence of modest
or merely well-bred people are allowed to pass with
out censure Just imagine supposedly reputable
magazine styling itself "The Ladies' Home Jour
nal" which prints over million copies, which are
read by five million persons of all ages; maga-
zine that purports to be teacher of refinement and
a prophet of light and sweetness, coldy. brutally
asking one hundred unmarried ladies to express
some opinion the subject of large families" and
summarizing the answers thus: Large families not
very popular" Con the whole, large families seem
not to be greatly in favor, and yet many of the
girls express themselves warmly on the subject"
The condition of blunted moral sense which makes
1t possible for fashionable journal to makes these
inquiries though it were a proper subject is ap-
palllng The matter-of-fact nature of the answers
reveals worse situation Pagan Rome in its
worst days, did not go much farther.
There are crimes against morality which do not
admit OF ordinary analysis. They are simply de-
cared crimes, and, when proven, punished. So
should it be with the class of offenses under con-
sideration 1t is high time for the good, moral
people of this country to act. The duty is if pos
slble, more incumbent upon the women than the
men, They should assert the superiority the rights
OF virtue over vice. They should proclaim that vr-
tue Is respectable and must be respected: that the
social evil, public private is an abomination and
must go into hiding at least. The good women have
an irresistible weapon with which they can knock
out this evil in public. It is social ostracism. Let

concern, after which the trust raises the prices
sufficiently high to make up for what was lost IN

course, will always attract capital and large for

desire is to keep their capital safe for the needs
of old age or of the loved ones in of the death
of the breadwinner.
There is one form of investment which has been
overlooked during the era of "frcnzied finance"
which began in 1896 and that is, real estate. 1t is
the old standby which offers a safe refuge from
the storms and vicissitudes of wild speculation.
Starting in New York City and spreading westward,
there has been, within the past few months

The history of all financial cycles is that after
panic, real estate is the last thing to attract the
attention of investors Some, of course, there arc
who leave the harbor-the kind who
known as 'solidly rich" But the majority first
attracted by "get-rich-quick" schemes. man sees
his next-door neighbor become wealthy overnight
by the sudden and mysterious rise of some stock
and he then rushes blindly into the class of
investment; the stock is manipulated by others, and,
after feverish experience of longer shorter
duration depending frequently upon how long his
money holds out) he finds himself poorer than when
he started Then comes the desire for something
which he knows to be safe, and he naturally turns
toward real estate. The era of real estate is be-
ginning 1t is to be hoped that the movement will
not resulet, as did that of 1890, in a wild boom
which will send prices too high. Such boom is
sure to be followed by a reaction, causing stagna |
ton until the growth of the community warrants
a still further advance in price If investors will
act prudently, taking advice from cool heads who
have had experience, such boom will be avoided.

A PAINFUL EPISODE.

The latest sensation in local political and social
circles is the result of the investigation of the de-
ficit in the funds of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position commission. This investigation has de-
veloped the fact that number of orders aggre
eating sum something in excess of $4,000, were
irregularly issued; that, in fact the of the
chairman of the commission, Ex-Governor Heber NJ
Wells appearing upon these orders, was a forgery
and that his brother-in-law, John Q. Cannon, the
first secretary of the commission, was the bene-
fcary of the fraud
1t was Governor Wells himself who furnished
the evidence, to the investigating committee of the
house of representatives,, that implicated Mr. Can
r ysr
The circumstances attending this defalcation
peculiarly painful. By his vicious weakness, the
culprit has fastened stigma upon an honored
No one, however, who is conversant with the
circumstances, as brought out by this investiga-
ton, will be so rash or unjust as to hold Governor
Wells III any sense responsible The fact that the
crime was committed by his friend and relative
renders his position, necessarily, doubly painful;
but aside from this unfortunate circumstance his
position is identical with that of the other members
of the commissioning better and no worse-and
upon them no blame whatever attaches.
With society a whole, however, rests no small
degree of responsibility in connection with these
lamentably frequent defalcations by men in posi-
tions of trust, As long money and the things
that money will procure are popularity held to be
the chief desideratum, just so long will all else
honor, friends and conscience-be sacrificed in or
der to secure them.
The public conscience must be sadly awry;
otherwise would scandals of this character be of
much less frequent occurrence.
