and has courageously fought their
battles against odds that would deter
a man possessed Of less heroic ma
ture. He is able, energetic, courage
Gus and honest, and is tireless in pur-
suit of an object. He is In every way
qualified by nature and training to
render the people of his state most
efficient service as United States
senator That Norris Brown should
be preferred to Mr. Rosewater for the
position of United States senator by
a state convention of his party Is
trayesty on popular government. Nor
| ris Brown may possess the qualifica-
tons to fill the requirements of
United States senator, but, as yet,
he has furnished no evidence that
such is the case. His speech in the
convention in acknowledgement of the
honor conferred upon him was a
sample of the cheap political bombast
that is peddled out to voters by speak
ers from the tail end of wagons in
the slums of big cities in the heat Of
a campaign. His services as attorney
general of the state have been of the
spectacular, grand stand order, foam
and fireworks without results.
Prosperity is now universal through
out the world The people of all ma
tons are prosperous regardless of
whether they have high tariff or free
trade. The cause is found in the
abundant supply of money from the
gold mines, which is causing gold to
grow cheaper day by day. The sell
fish instinct in man prompts him to
part with that which is growing cheap
in exchange for that which is growing
dear. Hence, money seeks invest
ment in industry and property. When
property and commodities are advanc-
ing in price throughout the world the
entire labor force of mankind is called
into requisition to supply the ever in
creasing demand that accompanies
the power of individuals to purchase
what they need or desire. But should
the money supply fall short and prices
show downward tendency all of this
would soon change. Production and
consumption would at once diminish
with the advent of falling prices With
an inadequate money supply and fall
ling prices business failures would
multiply. AS men would be forced
out of business by losses and failures
the demand for labor would lessen
and wages fall. A diminished con-
sumption would follow and the cry of
over production would again be heard
from the superficial and unthinking.
No scarcity of money would be OBJ
servable under such conditions, but
on the other hand the banks and pub
lie repositories would be gorged with
money that men dare not borrow for
investment upon falling market

The nomination of Judge Graves
for congress by the democrats and
populists of the Third Congressional
district was the very best that could
be made Judge Graves is a young
man possessed of all of the qualifica-
tons for first class congressman
AS lawyer and judge he has exem-
plified in a marked degree learning,
wisdom and prudence. He is a thor
oughly grounded in the principles of
Jeffersonian democracy and close
student of public affairs. If elected
to congress he is sure to make his
mark, and soon take rank among the
leaders in that body. The Independent
congratulates the voters of the Third
district in having an opportunity of
electing Judge Graves to represent
them in congress. He ought to be
elected.

Boston Symphony Quartet.

With an attractive program and a dis
tinguished singer new to Washington, the
Boston Symphony Quartet will visit this
city again tomorrow evening, and give its
second concert in the ball room of the New
Willard. The quartet will play two works
Tschaikowsky's quartet in F major, op
p, and Schumann's quartet in A major, op
Al. The recently published letters of
Tschaikowsky reveal that the quartet in F
major was one of the greatest favorites
with the composer and one of the first
works by him which was accepted with I'M
questioned approval by his colleagues in
Moscow.
Miss Susan Metcalfe, the singer IS a
young American, who is well started on a
career of promise. Four years ago utterly
unknown, she made a modest debut In
New York as an interpreter of songs. To-
day her recitals in New York, London and
Paris are ranked among the most impor-
tant events of their kind in the course of a
season. Miss Metcalfe is said TO be en-
dowed with a rare combination Of voice in

as an interesting personality.
