The Source of Public Confidence.

1Qe source OF PUBIC commence.
Those periodic disturbances which cause
such f1urrles in the stock market and send
the cold chills up and down the spines Of
investors and spectators are due. SO the
financial papers tell US, to impaired public
confidence. People are agitated and sus-
picious. They fear raids from this or that
quarter. They are apprehensive lest GER
tain governmental policies shall work dis
aster to this or that interest. A general
feeling pervades the community that some
thing is about to happen. The state OF mind
of many freQuenters of brokers' Offices gets
to be not unlike that of the little girl who
Mortified her companions once by saying in
q dramatic tone: Say, did you know there q
a poisonous beast around that bites folks?
1t bit three children last week and they
died; it bit woman yesterday and she
died. Something's happening somewhere all
the time"
The remedy for this disturbed condition.
so we are told, is the restoration of pubic
confidence. For distrust We must substitute
trust for suspicion friendliness, for trickery
the square deal, for enmity and hate good
will and cooperation. All this sounds very
much like a parsons shop talk. and 1t
shows that when the business world gets
into trouble 1t sees the error of Its ways
and is ready to join the preachers In calling
for halt and right about face.
But just how are you going to restore
confidence? 1t. like reverence, is plant
of slow growth. 1t cannot be renewed SIM
ply by the edct of a president or a paria-
ment 1t cannot be brought about either by
the national treasury coming to the rescue
or by wealthy private corporations, assum-
ing even If they are willing SO to do. the
task of neutralizing the panic feeling.
The true basis of public confidence Is real
and not fictitious values. When men have
gone on year after year overestimating

Mountain Climbing "0rganized. -
From the Outing Magazine.


Organizing climbing in America started
along the broadcast lines. Though the early
clubs of New England followed the first
popular interest in alpining. reused in the
sixties by attempts on the Matterhorn and
by the London Alpine Club. they sprang
more from the nature-loving tradition of
the Concord writers. Most proved still

came to life in Boston in 1875. Climbers

teacher and clergyman members welding
axes on old lumber paths and discoursing
on God and sunsets. but this society is
still far and away the most active force in
American climbing. having practically
opened the Canadian Rockies to the world.
The Sierra Club of San Francisco has
sprung up on the Pacific coast, more lately
the Mazamas of Port and Ore and the old
Rocky Mountain Club has been revived:
