ATTRACTING THE DOLLARS.

President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou are report ed to be busy these days devising ways and schemes to entice the hoarders of money to empty their stockings and destroy their places of concealment. Certain of the banks in New York city are forbidding customers to use their safety boxes for the purpose of hiding their money. Other plans are under consideration to bring about cure of a restrained money market.
 We have plan which we think might possibly be effective. We have no patent on it and therefore gladly leave 1t to President Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou to appropriate It is this: Let the abler of the football teams of the country be kept in com mission until the winter sets in and playing on the gridiron becomes im- possible. Thousands of hard-earned and carefully accumulated dollars came out of their hiding places last Saturday and are to-day in the hands of the undergraduates of Yale and Princeton. Many more thousands found their way into circulation in Massachusetts as a result of the game between Harvard and Dartmouth. In fact wherever there was a first rate football match there were dollars tc burn and they were spent by the best dressed lot of paupers we have ever seen.
 It can be easily seen that if the gov ernment can keep the teams in com.
 mission for another month or two the stockings which are now being used for other than the purpose which ere. ated them will grace the feet of mer and women. By all means let the ex- pertinent be tried. It is no more fan. tastic than many another political ex. pertinent which has been urged as good for the country.

Forty-six States in the Union now. On Saturday, that great day when Yale greatly took Princeton into camp, the United States took the new State of Oklahoma into the fold of States, President Roosevelt appropriately signing the Statehood proclamation with a pen made from a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. It is more than ten years ago since we had new State, Utah having been admitted in 1ses'
 There can be no doubt about the value and the promise of the new State. It is only eighteen years ago that in response to President Harrison's proclamation there was rush into the fertile Indian lands which were thrown open tots settlement.

 It is figured that Oklahoma is a Democratic State, The constitutional convention of 1906 was overwhelm- ingly Democratic and the Territory gave the Democratic State ticket a considerable plurality on the fifth of this month. But Oklahoma is young
 and may not stay Democratic.

HERE AND IMpRoYrNa.

On the 24th of October it looked for few minutes as If this bounding and abounding country were going to smash, at least so far as values" were concerned. It didn't go then, and it hasn't gone since. Here we are. on the 18th of November, in fairly good shape, and in improving shape. The premium on currency isn't going to last much longer, and while money may not be as easy all around as it was in New Haven Saturday, there will soon be enough to do business with. Then we shall soon forget the panic" and be busy heading for the next one.
 This is a great country and don't you forget 1t. Don't be a bear on the United States. It doesn't now look as if the depression were going to be long and severe, but if it is it wont be long and severe enough to do per- manent damage to prosperity. It may be long time before certain kind of high financiers will be able to be as high as they have seemed to be-, and it is to be hoped it will. But there are going to be better and saf- CT days for the honest and industri- ous.

4 COINCIDENCE.

The prohibition movement against the use of opium in China is as inter-
 esting in some ways as the prohibition movement against rum in this coun- try. A traveller in China tells of great change which he observed with re- spect to the use of opium. He points out that the edict issued by the throne on the subject has had marvellous effect upon the people-and especially those who have learned the seductive power of the drug. On the river steam CTS and passenger boats, where hither- to there has been a free use of the pipe, there is now marked diminu- tion. The steamers trading to Chiang- men have notices conspicuously post ed prohibiting the use of the drug on board, and not only are the notices posted, but they are observed He declares that on voyage on pas

HARD TO REFORM.

We have read much for the last ten years about reform in Philadel- phia, but that quiet city seems hard to reform. That 1t isn't yet so reform ed as to be above suspicion is indi- cated by the fact that demand has been made that the courts say wheth- CT the ballot-bo&es in Philadelphia shall be opened for recount of the vote on proposition for an issue of $10,O00,0o0 of bonds that the gang in control of the city government want to get the handling of for certain pub lie improvements. There was a strong opposition to this bond issue because only one-fourth of the amount is to be expended on the public schools, the rest going for contractors jobs. To the general surprise, the recorded vote showed an overwhelming majori- ty for the issue, but the figures of the

 It is a notable coincidence that while Christian United States is being swept by wave of prohibition of rum heath en China is being swept by wave of prohibition of opium, Perhaps in neither case will prohibition actually prohibit, but in both cases it will come nearer prohibiting than entire free- dom or license would.

SOME PRETTY pArERNAnrsM.

There is some paternalism that no United States citizen or citizeness will find fault with. There is a difference of opinion about the paternalism dis played by the United States in the Philippines All are not agreed that the United States ought to come so of- ten and so much to the rescue of Wall street. There are critics of the benevo- fence and beneflcence of the United States toward expositions. But nobody lis going to find any fault with the paternalism displayed by Postmaster General Meyer in deciding to send the thousands of pretty postcards which come to the dead-letter office each year from all parts of the country to friendless children in asylums and homes
 That is a happy thought. While the head of the Treasury department is
 trying to please and comfort hard-be- set finaneiers the head of the Post
 office department bethinks himself of pleasing and comforting hard-beset
 children. The United States govern
 ment has its merits, even if just now
 some are thinking and saying that the
 head of it is more internal than pa ternal.

must resist it with the pluck and de- termination which have justly attached to the Yale seal the significance of 8 high manhood. The Yale team the Princeton players had to meet in the second half was not only team of skillful football players but team of wise men, who had drunk deep from the cup of bitterness only the better to reveal the stuff which lay at the base of their character. No football team that has ever appeared on the Yale Field could have defeated that impressive combination of science and wisdom and the Princeton cleverness went down before it as Yale amaze ment had fallen before Princeton bril- liancy.
 Just the incident, too, that was needed to make the game immortal in the literature of football was provid- ed at the close of the game. The un- dergraduates of the winning universi- ty marched to the benches where sat the heroic defenders of the yellow and black and cheered them as only manly fellows know how to cheer. The re- sponse was of the same character. The sense of defeat as we'll as the exhilar- ation of victory were hallowed by an exchange of courtesy which made all literally akin. May New Haven see many more such demonstrations of manly courtesy

Here to-day and gone tomorrow Here to-day, tomorrow gone Then there'll be no one to borrow I our best books, nor mow the lawn Ere the sun begins it's shining,
 While you're lying sleepy-eyed Ana no dogs at midnight whining; Twon't be bad-that other side! Here to-day, then gone forever; Here to-day then-aber nit! Then's an end of all endeavor,
 Work and sorrow, all of it German bands will no more harass, There will be no phonograph, There will no more bills embarrass; That's not bad at all--not half! So, if that's what means the morrow, Why go grouchy through the day? Don't sit arm in arm with sorrow, Laugh and frighten 1t away; Sing a stave and lllt chorus Life's a lake with blossomed shore; There the bore will no moro bore us Grief come near us nevermore.

(Baltimore Sum-
 The number of men working on the Panama canal on June 30 aggregated 2o,0Oo, of whom d,S7O were Europeans, principally spaniards. About $50, ,OOO- 900 had been expended on canal con- struction, including the cost of labor and equipment, up to the end of the last fiscal year, June 30, 19o7. The United States government paid $40, ,0OO,- 900 for the property of the French Canal company It paid, in addition, $10,ooo,oOO to the Republic of Panama for certain territorial rights. On July last there was an available balance of $S2,o0l,000 to the credit of the canal commission. Uncle Sam had paid out at the date of his late accounting S1o0 000,0C0 on account of the canal project. This sum, however, does not include the maintenance of complete system of sanitation, the construction of water works, the expenses of civil goyerrment and work on the Panama railroad

4 NEW DANGER.

As if 1t were not enough for the United States to be threatened with what it has been threatened with a new danger is reported from France Six Apaches, as they are known in France, under the leadership of boy of IS named Denis Clairvois, have been arrested at Lille, France, for system atic and extensive robberies. The eld- est of the boys is fifteen and the youngest ten. Clairvois was the Raf- fles of the group. He ruled his Coli scum band" with a hand of iron and is particularly proud of having cut of a finger of one of the boys because he dropped an alarm clock when they were escaping from jewellers shop and they were nearly caught in conse- quence. One of the boys confessed that their ambition was to buy ship and become pirates. They intended to raid and, if possible, capture America.
 And just as the fleet of battleships Is going away too. As it is not at all probable that these Apaches are the only ones of their ambitious kind, the coast defenses at Lighthouse Point should be kept in good order,

In bulletin printed in Japan Pro- lessor Omori reports singular phen- omenon which attended the passage of cyclone near Tokio. There was a tilting of the earth's surface in one direction as the storm approached and in the other direction after it had gone, Both movements, registered at the professors seismological observ- atory, indicated sinking of the earth where the atmospheric pressure was lowest. The expert accounts for it by supposing that suction at the storm center raised the level of the adjacent sea, and thus imposed an abnormal burden on the bottom of the ocean.
