FOR DEPARTMENT COMMANDER.
Ransom Post, OF st. Louis, Nominate s
Past Commander kimbnll,


The undersigned committee. by d.
rection OF Ransom Post, ask leave to
present the name of Past Commander
Thomas ID. Kimball. of this Post, for
your consideration and support as De-
partment Commander for 1907.
We had the good fortune to eject
him Senior Commander of the
Post in 1903, and for the next two
years he was elected Commander with
out an opposing candidate or vote. He
thus reached the limit of service with
his own Post, the unwritten law for
bidding a third term, and fell back into
the ranks having won the love and re-
spect of all his comrades. The Post
prospered notably under his leadership,
the meetings were well attended and
interesting, and the membership in
creased in a marked degree. We men,
ton these facts as the best evidence
that his interest in the Grand Army is
not epIemeral, nor self seeking, but is
inspired by true and unselfsh devotion
to the principles it stands for. His
service in the rebellion commenced
with his enrolment in Co. G., list Mass,
In the Summer of 1862, and he was
elected Captain of that company upon
its organization, and went with his
regiment to Newbern, N. c., where he
served under Gen. John G.. Foster in
the important operations in that region.
In July, 1868, he was offered a Cap
taincy in an artillery regiment then
being raised by Gov. Andrew. and in
August of that year he was commits
stoned Captain of Co. A, I'd Mass. H.A.,
and returned with his regiment to
North Carolina, and served continuous
ly with it until the final muster out,
having taken part in all the operations
of his command In that section. At his
muster out he received a brevet COM
mission as Major from Gov. Andrew,
| in recognition of his services. He re-
sides in the suburban city of Kirkwood,
in st. Louis County, and has served four
terms as Mayor Of that place, and for
dent OF the Board Of Education.
He is business man of good educa-
ton, fine appearance. and good adj
dress, and is enthusiastic in his support
of all measures tending towards civic
Righteousness.
He takes a lively interest In the
Grand Army, and may be relied upon
to devote his time and best energies to
the advancement of the interests Of the
organization in this Department, If ne
is chosen as Its Commander.
In behalf of Ransom Post, which we
think is fairly entitled to the honor, we
ask the support of your delegation in
the next Department Encampment to
be held at Mobefly. and we feel certain
that il Comrade KimbaI1- Is chosen
Commander. the entire Department will
be pleased and benefited by his admin
istration of its affairs. George F..
Smith. Chairman; c. X. Reifsnider j..

used and the balance of the money put
in their pockets. The exposure of their
schemes and their fall from grace
knocked the wind out of the inflated
values of their alleged securities" and
a great shrinkage resulted.
Naturally there was some disturbance
or jarring of the equanimity of affairs
until matters could be adjusted and the
routine of daily financial and commercial
life be fitted into proper channels once
again.
THAT is all there is to it, and while
the banks of the country are protecting
the financial interests of their depositors,
it is time for the general public to dis
play its accustomed courage and opti-
mism-a time when the men of strength
of character in the community take the
lead in the restoration of confidence
and the re-establishment of business
activity.
"There may be some momentary dis
couragements and even some hardships,
but underneath all the readjustment and
reorganization there lies the magnificent
undation-Prcsperity. 1t is unchecked
and undismayed-and just as long as we
continue to. stand upon it there will be
nocause for pesslmistic talk or wailing."

If Los Angeles had taken twenty years
instead of six or seven to triple her
population many of her shortcomings
would have been obviated. For ex-
ample there is the police alarm system
for the entire city, which we have not.
Our need in this direction is generally
recognized, and existing criminal con-
ditions have simply served to empha-
size it's necessity.
The Municipal league seldom suggests
any reform or progressive step that is
not highly desirable. The fact that it
is once more urging the installation of
q first class police alarm system should
be sufficient to induce serious and inn
mediate consideration of the project.

AMERICAN PROGRESS

A LATE publication of the bureau of
~ statistics of the department of
~ commerce and labor sets forth
that the money in circulation in the
United States on July l, 1907, was 81, 49,
100000. as compared with $2,736, ,OOO 900
on July 1. 1906, and 1,64O, 600 900 on the
corresponding date in 1897. Deposits in
savings banks are set down at SO, 1885,
100000, as compared with 1929, ,000, 900
in 1906 and 81 1888, 100000 in 1897. The
total deposits in all banks last July ag-
gregateed in round figures $4,000 OOO,-
900, against $12, 500 ,OOO0 900 in 1906 and
but $4,000, ,000, 900 in 1897.
The public debt, less cash in the ma
tional treasury, is given at sS7S, 900, 900
in 1907, as compared with 1864, 900 900 in
1906 and $9S7, 900, 900 in 1897; and the per
capita indebtedness at S10.26 in 1907,
against $11.46 in 1906 and $13.7S in 1897
An adequate idea of the prosperity of
the country may be gained by studying
the foregoing figures in conjunction
with the following: The merchandise
imported into this country in the fiscal
year 1907 had a value of 1,434, ,00O, ,0OO as
against $1,227. .00O, 900 in 1906 and $685.
100000 in 1897. Exports of domestic
merchandise were valued at 81, S54, ,000,-
600 in 1907, as against $1,71S, 200, 900 in
1906 and but 81 ,032, 900, 900 in 1897. Manu-
facturers' crude materials imported are
given as valued at SAT- 900, 900 in 1907,
as against $415,0O0,00O in 1906 and but
1885, 900, 900 in 1897. Manufactured prod
Icts intended for further use in manu-
featuring in this country were valued
at $274,000,000 in 1907. as against $780,
100000 in 1906 and but $SS, 100000 in 1897.
In exports, the value of crude ma
terials used in manufacturing is placed
at $685., 100000 in 1907, as against $780,
100000 in 1906 and 1921. 100000 in 1897.
Manufactures for further use in manu-
featuring in foreign countries were
valued at $259, 100000 in 1907, $226, 100000
in 1906 and $9s.OOO,O0O in 1897. Manufac-
lures ready for home consumption in
1907 were worth $4S1, 100000, in 1906 $780,
100000 and in 1897 but $213 100000.
The records of production, which in
most cases are stated by calendar
years, in nearly every instance show
Improvement over the year Immediately
preceding. Pigiron production for 1906
IS given at over 25,O0O.0oO tons. In 1905
ii was 2S.OO0.o0O tons and in 1897 but
$500, 1000 tons. Petroleum production is
put at $3.50 100000 gallon for 1906. as
compared with 2,5oO,oOOooo gallons ten
years before. The number Of cotton
epindles in operation in the northern
states in 1906 was 15,66o,oO0, as COM
pared with 13,s00,OoO in 1897, and in the
southern states 100000 and s,25O.OOO re-
spectively.
