H. H. Rogers on Optimism.

From Harper's Weekly.
 MT. Henry II. Rogers has gone on rec- ord as a prophet of prosperity. The country is all right" he says. "Condi- tions will adjust themselves. and there will be no stagnation or halt on account of the presidential campaign next year.. Mr. Rogers thinks that the production of wealth has increased too enormously for prosperity to be halted at present. He finds an element of economic security In the diverslhcation of agricultural pro- ducts and the lessened dependence or the western railroads on the wheat crop. He is full of belief in the favorable at titude of Providence towards the United States, and finds evidence of 1t in the timely discovery of petroleum, which. providing illumination in homes all over the world. he considers to have been the greatest civilizer. outside of the Christian religion, that humanity has known Tho people must see, says MT. Rogers, that settled conditions are necessary for prp- gress and development ,and he expects TO gee within a few months "a practically united demand for the strongest conser- vatism in the conduct of government
 That is q reasonable expectation. The pendulum can't swing in one direction in- definitely Natural law settles that.

coupon denominations of S100 each, and the specialties of the old line investment houses are scarcely ever missued in coupon denominations of $100 each, and houses are scarcely ever issued in each.
 "The issuing of bonds and short term notes in coupon denominations as small as S10O each. combined with an educa tional campaign conducted along ele mentary lines, would obviously give to the public a wholesome understanding of the subject of corporate investments. Such a policy would be constructive in the broadest sense. It is particularly ap- propriate in these days, when, owing to the unfair dealings Tn some few cases. there has developed lack of confidence or an element of uncertainty in the at titude of the public toward all corporate financing. In winning the confidence of people of limited means. the result would also be attained of convincing wealthy in- vestors at home and abroad of the unde niable fact, that the bonds and short-term notes of the vst majority of our cor porations are comparatively among the best, If not the best investments in the world. It would seem as though too much work could not be done along these lines, largely for the reason that every dollar invested in the approved securities of corporations, whether it be the dollar of the large or small investor, gives added impetus to a nations growth and pros perity."
 When copper touched 26 cents in the winter it was pointed out in this eorre- spondence that the consumers of the metal would not go ahead paying these high prices. There must be a limit at which a commodity used in the arts could sell without curtailing it's consumption. Five years ago nine pounds of copper could be bought for a dollar. Many mines product as cheap as this. But etaoinn could not make money selling their prod

ORGANIZATIONS.

The opening of spring reminds the pru- dent man and woman that it is time to get rid of the accumulations of the winter season. The body demands it as the price of comfort and health. In old times the spring was the season for strong physick- ing, and heroic were the measures often taken. Nowadays the prudent at this time of the year take mild but effective pre- scription, such as lA OK. Fluid Extract of Buch, 1 OF. Bulso Mixture. A oz. Fluid Extract Gentian Compound and 15 ozs. water This, taken in doses of table spoonful three times a day. before meals. Is said to do the work far better than the drastic drugs of old and is vastly more pleasant. The prescription can be put up by any good pharmacy at small cost.

CARRIED THEIR BEDS.
When Straw Ticks Were Sold to Rail-
 road Travellers.

From the Kansas City Star.
 An old man approached the Pullman office window
 "A lower to St Louis" he said, dis playing his transportation.
 The little red slip was stamped and handed to him.
 The old man stood at the window a moment looking at the clock.
 "Twenty-fve years ago." he said, 'I bought a berth from Kansas City to Call ifornia. My bed cost me seventy-five cents."
 The clerk looked astounded.
 "You're mistaken, I think" replied the ticket seller. "Berths are as cheap now as they have ever been."
 "No," said the traveller, they are not They're costlier. And I'll tell you why. Travel nowadays is different. When 1 went to California then I paid seventy five cents for a straw tick. I bought in on this street right opposite the depot. I don't remember what I paid for my place in the ear But in reality my bed cost me just seventy-fve cents. There used to be sign on one of those little buildings over there which said:
 .' Get your straw beds here-50 and 10 cents
 'Twenty-fve years ago that meant lux urious travelling. There were simply cur- tains to pull down over your seat and you provided your own bedding. You took your sheets Gf you wished them at alp, and your own blankets. Kansas City was looked upon as the supplying point for all western travellers. Those men who owned the straw and the ticks in that room across on the avenue did a fiourishing business"
 l.. S. Banks, general ticket agent at the depot, said that probably 10000 straw ticks were sold to travellers from that room on Union avenue. Tricks were a sort of lux ury,r he said, twenty-five or thirty years ago. They were in demand, too. The majority of persons who traveled to California did not use the sleeping cars.

and DeForest Wireless are very large, and in his western way he has taken hold of things at the companys offices in New York, with the hope of trying to unravel the many knots in the DeForest affairs. Colonel Wilson has made himself chair man of the executive committee of tho United Wireless, and has engaged an ac- countant to go over the books and papers that record the history of the wireless promotions of Abraham White. The feeling among some of the large stck- holders is that so long as White runs the affairs there will never be a chance for the stockholders

uct as cheap as this But the copper mines were doing a big profitable busi- ness when a dollar would buy six pounds of copper. Now a dollar will buy only four pounds of copper. That the con sumers of copper are beginning to feel the depressing effect of high prices for the metal is evidenved by a statement from the president of the Western Electric company, a concern that last year did gross business of $70,O eco. The company was then employing 25,0O0 men. Now 1t is employing only 2O,O00. The head of the company says: "The high prices for cop per, steel and lead, which we use large ly, make the construction of plants more expensive than at any time for twenty five years Our customers, then, have to face the probability that the plant put in at the present rate of cost could be du
 plicated within q few years at greatly reduced outlay. The fundamental diff culty Is too much prosperity"
 Some of the large stockholders in United Wireless Telegraph company, the $2O,OoO, O00 attempted merger of the DeForest and Marconi companies, are trying to oust the chief promoter from the company. One of these large stockholders is Col. c. c. Wilson. from Texas and Colorado, who has known Abraham White, the pro- moter, ever since he was boy In Texas. Colonel Wilson advanced great deal of money to erect wireless stations in Texas and also assisted the American De- Forest company in floating it's $5000 GOO bond
 issue. Many of these bonds were sold in the west on tho recommendation of Colo mel Wilson. and he feels that he owes a duty not only to himself but to his friends to put the United Wireless, which Is another name for the DeForest. on q business basis. Colonel Wilson has bought all of the promotion stock left in the hands of Lee DeForest the young in- ventor, and DeForest is absolutely out of the companies that bear his name.

A Reciprocal Arrangement.

From the New York World.
 The Hendricks club of Evansville, Ind, has the proper sense of humor. If John Temple Graves of Georgia is right in urg ing that MT. Bryan nominate President Roosevelt in 1908. what could be more fitting than that President Roosevelt should reciprocate by nominating Mir Bryan. President Roosevelt and his party have profited so largely by MT. Bryans teachings that as matter both of cour- tesy and justice, some recognition should be made of their debt Then MT. Bryan's nomination would make President Roose- velts reelection doubly sure.

The First Offence.

From the Boston Post.
 Tommy had been punished. Mamma" |" he sobbed, did your mamma whip you when you were little?"
 ''Yes, when I was naughty"
 And did her mamma whip her when she was little?" L ''Yes, Tommy"
 And she was whipped when she was little?" Yes"
 well, who started it, anyway"

privileges of ownership in the company's property. But the idea Is, of course, ab- surb. Union Pacific preferred stock is no less a part of the capital stock of the company than Is the common stock, and the company could not divest itself of it's assets without giving the preferred stock its due share in the proceeds thereof"
