CENTRAL AMERICAN DEBTS.

The fiscal status of some of our neighbors
at the south is doubtless not as favorable as
ii should be. The same may be said of some
larger and more prctentiOus countries outside
Of the Western Hemisphere. Some of them
may be in a desperate plight and in urgent
need of counsel and aid to keep them from
disaster Nevertheless. Ii does not seem fair
to speak in sweeping and Understanding

can republics" as though they were all or most
Of them, on the verge Of bankruptcy.
Seeing that such Characterization Is provoked
by the cases of SantO Domingo and Hayti. the
insular republics of the Caribbean are proha-

NEyyoRK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY FEBRUARY TO- 1906

Million Club gets over the painful business DO
rapidly and as gracefully possible by waiVhhs
explanations and simply offering reward ior O.
new watchword OF progress.
This attitude of waiting. however, is not
despairing one The city is simply listening TOT
the call of the future The motto maker who Is
to inscribe a new legend on the municipal banner
OF the new St Louis must forget the past and
speak with the voice of the pulsing West, out
"of that heart of the worlds heart wherein we
live" He must emit bugle note sounding
charge, not a recall and retreat. But he shouiu
not dream of acquiring vast wealth by supplying
this newly felt want 1t may be admitted that
for motto made according to the specifications
noted by our Western contemporary there couiu
scarcely be an appropriate reward In money
Like the poet the motto maker must trust 10
fame for his chief reward, but. probably to pay
incidental expenses only, the Million club offers
the sum of $25 for the motto when duly APP
proved. Should it be no longer than the one dis
carded by ST. Louis the new one of Chicago
the payment would be at the rate of ST. o0 a
word, which. believe is more than is now
paid for even the best sellers in fiction.
