Spectators Repeat Their Mistakes.


for October.
Time and again written distinctly In
tine compiled statistics, or branded on
the memories of mistaken individuals,
are the facts that advances and de-
cllnes are always overdone; that APP
pearances are the most promising at
the high tide of prices. and the most
unpromising at the ebb tide: in short.
that public traders will dc the wrong
thing on both ends of the swing. The
man who gets caught in a real estate
boom gathers wisdom froih the eNpe-
rence, but not so the speculator We
find him making the same errors year
after year.
After every period of depression. and
when prices are again on the upward
road, we hear the statement MADE that
the public is not in the market. They
have been fooled once too often, say
the wiseacres; but they always appear
az the right time. that is to say. the
right time from the viewpoint OF the
men who have stocks to sell. After a
long advance, and a period of pros
perity which makes nothing so prob
able setback, there will be a
general advance in dividend distribu
lions. a fluX of cheerful talk and To-!
the public. There is a general furry
records here and there, some public
profit and much public enthusiasm
and stocks have changed hands.
This shifting of the burden does not
take place in a day. it is a tortuous pro-
ceeding, requiring much of art and a
great deal of patient work. but abso-
lutely nothing new. Nothing new is
depended upon to follow the example
of the celebrated Peter White. who fol-
lowed his nose in spite of the fact that
IL stood awry.

WE'RE THERE OTHERSf

There is something worth thinking
about in The New Bedford Standards
comments on the Sterslana case. AS
II views the matter. persons who are
familiar with the circumstances of his
crime are beginning to entertain .
suspic ion that justice has been de-
icated, rather than vindicated. I'm
dor the Arrangement by which he
pleaded guilty for the sake of short
imprisonment, the revelations which a
trial would have made were avoided, u
the. security of Others who were in
volved in the affair The feeling that
Stensland alone did not profit by the
r:.4cality is general among those who
are close to the scene; but the fact that
he is punished alone. and not a severe
punishment at that. seems to be a
demonstration that justice may some
times be in too much of n hurry, A
good deal of criticism has been made
over the provoking dilatorinesS -
criminal proceedings, especially where
the culprits were rich or influential
On that account, a false conception o.
the value of the promptness which
degcnerat"s into hurry has grown up
So when a man like Stcnsland is rail-
rcaded into jail with record break
ing CELEBRITY. the superficial spectator is
pit TO conclude that justice has OBJ
aimed a signal victory \ close exam
II alton might dispel that view"
some of eur contemporaries have re-
fSred to this case as an evidence tina:
81, rich man may be convicted IN q,
chicago court as readily as a poor one
can, but this is not a fair argument
because Stensland was not convI2ted,
II he had made a determined fight in
the courts and had spent some thou,
ands of his dollars in his defence We
know not what the result might have
n,cn. He might have been convicted IN
ne end. and possibly would have becn.
but justice would have been Ions de-
layed. OF that no one can speak witt

certainty. He took the shortest course.
confessed, and got comparatively
short sentence.
We confess that we were much sur
prised when we hearc of Stens!and' s
voluntary confession, and there seems
to be only two ways of accounting for
It. He may have thought that II he
fought the case in the courts he would
eventually be found guilty and poss.
bly, receive a life sentence; so he
agreed to plead guilty and take ten
year term, which, We repeat. is light
punishment for actually stealing nearly
or quite half a million dollars. Thea,
as The Standard intimates. he may have
pleaded guilty in order to stop inves-
ttgation and thus save others. What
ever may have been the cause of his
course, he is now in prison and will
have ample time to think 1t over. Per-
haps he may profit by the lesson.

NORTH CarOllnaS progress in the man.
ufacture of furniture is an Interesting
and inspiring object lesson for other
Southern states to venture into new
fields of enterprise. Between 1900 and

crd. the number of furniture manufact-
uring plants in North Carolina increas-
ed from torty-four to l0S, the capt.
tai invested in them from $1,O23.374 to
s4,621,S94, the number of wage-earners
from 1859 to 5,164. and the value of the
output from s1.547.30 to $6,121,619. rails
ing furniture making from the seventh
to the fifth place in the rank of the
States industries. This notable advance
has come about through the utilization
at home of some of the vast hardwood
Resources of the State, under the spur of
changed that place within less thar
twenty years from a small place to the
leading furniture manufacturing CEN
ter of the South. A promise of still
further realization OF potentialities on
this line is given in the fact that a Con-
of it's windows a set of furniture made
by five boys of that town who are MEM
bers of the freshman class of the tech
biological department OF Newberry Col
lege, S. G. When the young men of any
State take pride in making part of their
education the acquiring of skill in
turning into marketable products the
raw material for industry of their
State, proof is given that breathing the
industrial atmosphere is having most
practical and gratifying effect. 1t would
be we'll for North Carolina if it had at
Least 10000 Of it's young men in fnsti-
futions Of its own training themselves
to become the prime sharers in the
benefits of North Carolina industrial de-,
yelopment."
