THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

There is seemingly no need for the
average man to worry very much
over the financial crisis through
which we seem to be struggling Just
now, least OF all over the situation in
New York. There is no denying that
1t is bad, and it may be worse. but as
general rule it is affecting only
those mainly responsible for bring
Ing about the existing conditions.
The gamblers on Wall street are
swallowing some bitter medicine lust
now, and their past sins are rising
up to accuse and coniound them. but
the country at large is going right
ahead attending TO business. Ii is
the result, as President Roosevelt
APPLY puts it, OF the exposure of
hitherto successful dishonesty, and
the country need lose no sleep sym
pathizing with those who in the
present slump are dropping their
dishonest gains. For the honest
man caught in the market we can
feel, but it is always hard to stamp
out or eradicate tue bad without also
destroying some of the good. Wall
street will probably survive the pres
ent panic, il it may be so termed and
the country certainly will.
