The story, whether true or not is in
dicative of the times Never in the his
tory OF this country has wealth been SO
extensive or universal. The national banks
and savings institutions are showing
largely increased deposits. and the i'm
provements in an cities make it evident
that legitimate investments are not being
overlooked.
The tremendous increase in wealth in
the United States has occurred within the
past few years. Il is due. primarily. O.
the fortunate succession OF good crops
and 20 the development of natural re-
sources. The Western farmers and the
southern planters have had an abundance

that the firing was done by United states
troops. Mr. Roosevelt is convinced that
IL was impossible that the firing should
have occurred without the guilty knowl-
edge OF most. il not all, OF the members
of the battalion. That being his belief
he dismissed the entire battalion from the
service as unworthy the uniform. There
may be differences OF opinion as 70 the
abstract justice or practical wisdom OF the
act; it may be that innocent suffered
with the guilty. and it is unfortunate, also,
that the actual participants in the affair
have escaped just punishment; but the
right OF the President to dismiss from
the service any soldier or any number
