TF there were n dissenting voice among
all the influential press of America in
n the present discussion of the outlook
In the financial and Industrial world timid
men might be pardoned for exhibiting
symptoms of pessimism. But there is
such unanimity of sentiment and evil
dence of hopeful nature from one end
OF the country to the other that the most
dubious observer must be convinced by
this time that there are no reasonable
grounds for apprehension as to the
future. In the following editorial the
Hartford Courant, one Of the strong con-
servative papers of the east, reflects the
general opinion of students and critics:
Europe is no doubt worried about
the amount of gold that this country is
taking from her. Our engagements OF
the yellow metal from over the sea al
ready run up to s67,90O,OO0 and there is
every prospect that we shall take more.
1t may be wise or foolish in the long
run for us to take more; 1t is almost inn
possible to decide this point so near at
hand; but, whether wise or foolish, the
fact is that the American people. like the
man in the play. want what they want
when they want 1t, and have a marked
tendency to get what they want Just at
that time without much regard for the
future.
'Nominally all this gold has been taken
from London, but that town is largely
a distributing point In these transactions.
The gold has really been taken from the
common stock of all Europe, and all Eu-
rope feels our successful pull for it.
Naturally Europe does not like proceed
ings of this imperative kind, no matter
from what quarter they come; and, nat
urally, also-not SO much against us as to
protect herself-Europe has put the price
of gold up, and may make the price still
higher
The main point in this entire gold inn
business is as to how we pay
for the gold. Is it a one-sided transac-
tion or is it in the larger sense a matter
of barter? Barter is where each of two
persons has something that the other
needs, and the two persons make an ex-
change. In this matter we have as
against our need of gold Europe's need
of food The two needs may not be ex-
actly coincident, but in the end they are
bound to balance each oSher with more
or less accuracy. This country has that
food which Europe needs. We are going
to get our crops into the foreign mar
ket and sell them. Crops are basic
fact; they are property; they are bound
to bring good money at a gold valuation
wherever they are needed. and they are
needed in Europe this year rather more
than usual.
Our currency system is doubtless de-
fective in the point that it requires good
reserve money to be used for the recur-
ring need of getting our crops sowed. and
our crops harvested and moved into the
market, whereas properly secured credit
would do these jobs without
special strain; but after all is said and
Hn 10 Ottr II d.
our harvesting, and we do get our crops
to the places where they bring the cash.
We may be pinched by the scarcity of
currency with which we carry on bust
ness. but we have the property which
makes our business sound. no matter

IN HE plan Of President Roosevelt for the
relief of the country from the condi-
- tions imposed upon It by the recent
crisis in financial affairs has brought
forth general comment in the press of
uniformly favorable and optimistic char
acter. The Louisville Herald voices the
general sentiment of the country when 1t
declares that the plan is meeting with
all the success that it's most sanguine
supporters anticipated" 1t says::
General approval has followed the an
nouncement of the issue of the Panama
bonds and certificates of Indebtedness
which President Roosevelt and Secretary
Cortelyou have devised for the purpose
of relieving the financial stringency
Praise comes from both parties, an1
every indication points to the plan meet

After the last shadow of the present

shining of prosperity's sun the people

EASIER PRICES

TT is not quite the unexpected which
has happened, but that which must
= have come sooner or later has ar
rived little earlier than the most opti-
mistic dared to hope. Prices OF the
necessities Of life are being lowered.
This is the announcement made by
wholesalers and retailers. AS the cost
of living has increased over so per cent
in the past few years and wages and
salaries have in tn. meantime remained
relatively at standstill. there are pos
sihle but two solutions Of the problem
Of life to the average man. One is that
incomes must increase If prices ara to
remain stationary; the other is that
prices must fall II incomes are to re-
main at the same ngure.
The decrease In prices began yester-
day. Butter went to IS cents and 40
cents for second and first grades re-
spectively. Potatoes took even lower
plunge, as the market reports show.
Most varieties of canned goods which
have been selling at 1917 cents now are
offered at the old price. 10 cents. Other
table commodities viii join the pro-
cession and existence win not be sur
rounded by so many obstacles as re-
Gently. This is certainly most cheerful
news to the man who has been trying
to support q family on 50 week.

ENASMUCH as the city council has
not yet passed the traffic ordinance
prepared by committee repre-
senting the Municipal league, although
that measure has been in its hands for
some time and although there appears
to be no reasonable opposition to its
adoption. there are some grounds for
the growing fear that the selfish in
fiuences that have been at work to
defeat it may have won over enough
councilmen to insure it's failure or its
mutilation to the extent that the most
important of all it's provisions will be
eliminated
This opposition is known. AS The
Herald has twice before pointed out
the only material opposition to the
measure is that which comes from the
owners and operators of public vehicles
These men have monopolized much of
the street space in the congested district
so long that the privileges a tolerant
public has suffered them to enjoy un-
molested until this time appear to have
become, in their eyes, vested rights.

ermore, the probabilities are that it is
the only city of its size in the world
where the operation of public vehicles
of the class noted is not regulated in
some such manner as that contemplated
by the proposed traffic ordinance.
Is it possible that there are in the
council enough members who are sub
ject to the influence of this favored
class of monopolists of public property
to defeat or seriously to mutilate the
ordinance in hand when they well
understand that general sentiment is
overwhelmingly in favor of it's passage?
Let us hope not, for the sake Of the

WIRELESS MYSTERY

NOR nearly a month past the Sun
day edition of New York news
Il paper has carried a full page of
European dispatches received through
Marconi's system ~of wireless teleg-
raphy. 1t would be useless to demand
a more significant demonstration of the
practical value. of this marvellous inven-
tion. While it is probably true that
the dispatches thus printed are received
days in advance of publication, the fact
is demonstrated that they may be in
telligibly transmitted and recorded.
The perfection of the system is but a
matter of brief time.
In the minds of most persons wire
less telegraphy is surrounded by an
atmosphere of mystery, as were the
telegraph, the telephone and the phon-
ograph originally. and to some extent
even now. What the future in this
field holds no man can tell.

BRINGING THE SHIP

ship through dangerous waters into
safety.
1t is not a matter for surprise that
when the man on the lookout told of
breakers ahead and turned the search
light upon rocks and reefs that ,.lreat-
ened possible disaster there was some
slight excitement among the passengers,
and few, whose company was less de-
sirable than their absence, jumped over
board. But the man at the wheel knew
his business, and he is bringing the old
ship through all right.
Even William Jennings Bryan, who
cannot be considered favorably biased,
is forced to, admit that the president has
been justified in his course, and is not
to be held responsible for conditions that
followed his attitude toward the Wall
street stock gamblers
The issuance of the bonds and GER
tificates will undoubtedly be of greatest
advantage in calling forth from private
Golfers boarded wealth and returning it
to the banks and general circulation.
This is practically all that is necessary
to restore the money market to its normal
state and set free the restrained forces
of trade and commerce that are essential
to continued prosperity.

Hare calls the petition to invoke the

fort to postpone the operation of the
new statute for two years until a pop

Should the names of those who sign the

who are members of the churches which
