ARE WE roo PROSPEROUS?

In the opinion OF many men OF
deep thought this country OF ours Is
entirely too prosperous That Is an
anomaly among nations. but In some
respects il may be true. For example
IT is argued that the prices of many
stocks are entirely too high. II Is ar
gucd that a decline would be beLa-
fetal. This is vigorously combatted
as a matter of course. by those whom
high prices directly benefit. I'm their
opinion we cannot have too much OF
a good thing. But possibly we can.
At amy rate we cannot with Justice
complain for a lack OF activity. and
might proceed to slackcn the pace "A
little. And particularly We should
lop good deal of the selling price
of products. Most Of them are far

J. J. INGALLS, ON GREATNESS

The world has had few leaders
who were born in the purple. Its
real kings have not been the sons of
kings. Its Napoleons have not des-
cended from monarchs The foun-
ders of its philosophers have not
been the children OF philosophers,
nor of its dynasties the heirs OF en-
perors. The trainers of the creeds
the inventors of the faiths and relig-
ions OF the race have come from the
manager, the forge and the carpen-
ter's bench, and not from the church.
The great captains have not sprung
from warriors, and those who have
composed the dramas, written the ly-
RIGS and pronounced the orations that
are immortal have inherited neither
their passion nor their eloquence. A
pedigree may be gratifying to pride,
but it is not consoling to ambition
Those who greatly succeed are not
always those OF whom success could

New York, May 2.-Not since the
Nothern Pacific panic of May 9th.
1901, has there ben such a spectac-
ular decline in prices on stock ex-
change as there was today. Heavy
selling. almost regardless of prices
offered. began with the opening of
the market There were rallies from
time to time when the bears bought
stocks 10 cover sales they had made
at higher prices or from some strong
financial interests who sent i'm buy
ing orders TO protect shares i'm which
they We're interested. But each raj
ly, except the last one Just before
o'clock was followed by a resump-
ton of the selling movement. The
days trading was extremely heavy.
rising TO a total of 2,445.OOO shares.
Nearly 100000 shares of stock
changed hands i'm the first hour of
trading. Considerable excitement
marked the opening of exchange
Within few minutes after trading
began many stocks touched new low
record for the year At first inter
est centered i'm half dozen stocks
which have been maket leaders for
some time past.
