Blowing a Bubble.

President Roosevelt's action in the mat
ter of the Santo Domingo finances Is
ascribed In late foreign dispatches as the
cause of recent boom in all sorts of South
and Central American securities and claims
For years the European market has been
glutted with these bonds and liens upon
the treasures of the minor American re-
publlcs. There has been practically no
demand for them because of the extreme
uncertainty of returns and the quotations
have fallen to the vanishing point. Occa-
sionally block of such securities has been
worked off in a questionable deal. but, as
a rule there are few calls for them
save for political purposes. Within the
past week or so. however. there has been
q decided movement toward the purchase of
all of this variety of paper" and 1t Is
said TO have been caused by a well defined
rumor which has been assduously crcu-
lated abroad that the United States intends
to enforce the payment of deferred interest
and principal on some of the repudiated
bonds and to ensure the collection of the
claims that have been long outstanding
There is, of course, no basis whatever for
this report. and in well informed foreign cir
cles It is rejected instantly as dishonest
stock jobbing enterprise. But so vague is
the popular understanding of the real scope
of the Monroe Doctrine and the extent of
Its bearing in this Santo Domingo affair
and so completely at sea Is the crowd of
unprofessional spectators as to the true
tnwardness of the case Immediately in
band, that there has seemingly been little

The Result in Chicago.

Municipal ownership of public utilities has
carried Chicago in a poll of unusual size.
Judge Dunno, the democratic candidate for
mayor, has a majority over ALL and leads
his foremost competitor by nearly twenty
five thousand votes. Public sentiment
stands recorded in favor of the policy for
which the democratic party in the cam
paign contended. incidentally it may be
mentioned that Judge Dunno was strong
enough to defeat along with his opponents
in the flesh two superstitions. The hoodoo
that pursued and overlook last year two
candidates who had left the bench to enter
politics failed to overtake him. and his
thirteen children gave that unlucky num-
Der no power over him at the polls Both
the seen and the unseen therefore went
down before him.
Now for the result. What does it really
mean? What will those who have achieved
II do with it? How far will they be able
and willing to carry the mandate they have
received. The campaign, as in all such
cases. was made largely upon hurrah and
generalities. Judge Dunne's cry was Mr..
Bryan's cry, Back to the people, Cor
porate power, as he charged, had abused
the privileges granted by the people. and
the remedy, he contended. was for the
people to repoSSeSS themselves or their
own. To obtain better and cheaper service
In matters of public utility the people must
do for themselves. The corporations had
been weighed in the scale and found want
ing. except in the capacity and disposition
to feather their own nests.
This cry caught the ears of the people
The gangs in the lodging houses trooped to
the polls and voted for the proposed pam
acea with small understanding of the
trouble and smaller capacity to trace it to
its source. But now that the verdict has
been given, largely by the aid of unin-
formed men, the problem indorsed must be
worked out in practical shape If the street
railways and other public utilities of Chi
cago are to be taken over by the city and
operated for the public's benefit, giving a
cheaper and an improved service. ways and
means must be provided, and it is going
to take a pretty penny even to inaugurate
the new condition. The financier and
business manager must now take the place
of the campaign stumper.
The steps to put this verdict into opera
ton will be worth attention, and they are
certain to receive it. Discussion will go
beyond the local question, and the success
Or failure of the scheme may act in a meas

difficulty in spreading the belief that Uncle
Sam is about to undertake the extraordi-
nary and difficult role of debt collector for
the world in South and Central America.
Consequently there Is rage for "Amerf-
cans In the shady corners of the foreign
money markets, and a bubble Is forming
that upon bursting, as burst 1t must
shortly, will probably destroy many small
fortunes.
This is a deplorable circumstance and 1t
is to be desired that the United States,
through such channels as may be available.
proceed promptly to correct the impress
sion that this government has assumed the
responsibility for the South and Central
American debts and obligations The
truth should be plainly stated to the
world. that in SantO Domingo alone
is the United States proceeding, and
that its action there Is simply to meet
chaotic condition which menaces important
American interests. 1t should be clearly
shown that in taking charge OF the reve-
nues of Santo Domingo this country will
merely serve as fiscal receiver to enable
the existing government of SantO Domingo
to discharge it's obligations without inter-
ference from the various revolutionary ele-
ments which are periodically aroused to
activity by the sight of funds in the public
vaults.
OF course. If there is period of wild
speculation in Americans followed by a
collapse and heavy losses the United States
will be in wise or degree accountable.
1t cannot prevent the stock swindlers of
Europe from foolng their victims any
more than it shield the lambs of this
country from the rapacious bulls and bears
of the street"

judgment In the matter Of dairy products.
and that persons are being served with
| milk. cream. butter and cheese between
which and the COW there Is a very remote
connection. Cows, in looking at print OF
forty-cent, high-grade, creamery butter
have turned aside with tears in their Ian
guorous eyes because they have recognized
in that butter, not the result of their own
patient merit and devotion to duty. but the
stewed fat of q departed husband or
brother.
Some cows, peering into a jar of cream
'sterilized, Theoretically sealed and spe-
cialiy bottled have turned away with an
expression. half Of indignation. that any
merchant would bottle such a libel on cow
hood, and half of merriment that man,
who Is forever chattering about hygiene,
laws of health. longevity, progress of SCI
ence. civilization. enlightenment of the
twentieth century, higher education. ETC..
etc. should swallow such liquid lie for
milk.
However, the world will be glad to learn
that the cow is awake to the danger of the
situation and has gone forth to test the
output of creameries, take samples and col
lect evidence, as shown by the following
dispatch:

cow created sensation this afternoon in
the heart of the shopping district when it
dashed wildly into the confectionery store
of the r. B. Stiles estate. 1t was being
driven along Main street by J. B. Upde-
grove of Lower Providence. He turned his
attention from the animal long enough to
buy handkerchief.
LAS the entered the store through
one door the patrons and salespeople left
in panic by the rear. The COW filed be-
tween the counters into the ice cream par
lor and licked off the plates left by the
fleeing patrons"

And this season there are numerous
new styles and shapes to add to the
daintiness and neatness of the femi-

to greater extent than heretofore.
Our stock is composed of only the
best styles, shapes, feathers, work
manship and neatness, especially at
the heel, where perfect fit is most de-
sired, but generally lacking. And
the prices are no higher than in sea-
sons gone by, but in the main less
expensive, because of the greater

given to the make and finish.
