minstrel company of comedians, vo-

the attraction at the Keylor Grand
Thursday, December 80, presenting
genuine black faced minstrelsy amid
Southern plantation surroundings.
1t was Mr. Primrose's complaint for
several years past that real minstrel

the so-called minstrel entertainment.
For that reason, when he decided 10

ONES OWN RESPONSIBILITY.

Most imperious of human passions
is that upon which the propagation of
the human race depends. And most
abused.
All the miseries of human life, put
together, are nothing in comparison
with the miseries engendered by abuse
or perversion of the passion i'm
planted in human beings for continual
ton of the race Every day and every
hour Of our lives this fact is before US.
How to deal with it? Human society
establishes uSages and customs MAIN
tair.s laws and regulations, uses social
pressure, employs forces of morality
and religion. brings in the support of
industrial, economic and all prudential
motives; yet only partially restraints
the evil. Ali this effort, all this pres
sure, is kept up and must be kept up
necessarily. Yet there isn't much prog
ress, after all.
Desire for gain is another passion.
ress of the race. It's tendency also is
TO the abuse which We call avarice.
1t is a passion to an extent under con-
troll of public opinion. The miser is
not very much liked. 1t is a passion
to ar. extent also under control of
Jaw. The tax gatherer is abroad.
Likewise the appetite for drink. 1t
is liable to great abuse. Society has
a right 10 use its power against abuse
of drink. 1t is doing this now. to a
greater extent than heretofore. But
there may be use of alcoholic liquors
without abuse of them; and there is.
Herein is the reason why total pro-
hibition is impossible.
Abuse OF drink is on the same
basis as abuse of other desires. But
it bears no comparison with abuse of
the passion or. which continuation of
the race depends.
1t is mans business to keep his
passions and desires under control 1t
is duty, as it is a function of society
to throw restraints round about his
tendency toward excuses and abuses.
Yet all things that are in. this world
are for mans use His passions and de-
sires. are not to be eXtinguished, but
controlled. Only so is any true and
temperate regulation possible, says the
Oregonian.
Every great thinker always has
dealt with restraint of human pas
sions and regulation of human de-
sires and appetites. on this basis. De-
velopment of personal responsibility is
possible only so. To prohibit the ex-
ercise or use of a passion or a desire
is no way to control it, Never will there
be any sure result from what Milton
called "a secluded or clustered virtue
The prayer is Lead US not into temp
tation," not Remove temptation from
us" Anything may be perverted. But
IT is our business not to do it. All good
before us may be turned to evil 1t is
often done; for as the great solemn
poet says
So little knows
Any but God alone to value right
The good before him, but perverts best
things
To worst abuse or TO their meanest use.
1t is a lesson that belongs to con-
troll OF all human passions aid desires.

HENRY CLEWS, NEW YORK
BANKER TAKES OPTIMISTIC
VIEW OF SITUATION,
(By Henry CleWS.)

NETWORK, Dec. 26,-The only way
to meet the present situation is to at
once recognize changes in fuhdamen-
tai conditions which have taken place
during the closing year. We have de-
seconded with unpleasant violence from
IAN abnormally high level to an exceed
insly COW level, and the succeeding
process of REIMBURSEMENT is painful but
imperative. The more promptly it is
recognized and the more promptly ar
arrangements are made to go ahead or.
the new basis, the quicker will be the
real recovery. While there are still
uation. it, is satisfactory to observe
some compensations which may be too
easily lost sight of in the prevailing
gloom. 1t must not be forgotten that
our farmers are in strong financial
condition, the happy result of series
iof very profitable harvests. This season
lis sure to be good one for all en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. No
lsuch situation existed in previous
panics. when our farmers suffered to a
|degree which is now impossible. This
may be class prosperity and therefore,
less desirable than universal prosper
Iity but the financial strength of our
Iagriculturalists is going to prove no
mean buiwark against the attacks of
depression. Our farms produced
Isl, 0O0, 900, 900 of wealth this year,
which cannot be obliterated by any
Istock market panic.
No Overproduction.
Another consideration that should
not be overlooked, and to which due
weight has not yet beer given, is that
our mercantile and industrial condi-
ltions are generally sound and free of
the oversupply which characterized
the panic of 1893. Thus far there are
few signs of overproduction in the
textile field, the third largest division
of national Industry. The cotton mills
of the country are in an especially
sound condition financially, and to
avoid the consequences of overpro-
duction are generally following pol
icy of curtailnlent. In this direction at
least. there are no signs of weakness,
and our mills are in excellent shape
for meeting reaction. The same can be
said regarding the food industry. which
ranks first in Importance. It is almost
impossible to find any market il, this
division of business oversuppiied. In
fact, in all of the merchandise mar
kets there is little or no complaint of
overproduction, the only weakness be-
ing in occasional cases of unwise ex-
pahsion and over-eXtension of credit
In such instances the present condition
OF the money market may cause some
embarrassment; especially should di-
minished consumption and lower prices
which are inevitable, make any serious
inroads upon profits. We emerge from
the panic, therefore, with the mercan-
tile and industrial situation generally
sound, and with the signs of reaction

Hopeful Side.

1903.
Hopeful Side.
More or less inertia still prevails
in the financial district; because the
housekeeping process is evidently not
yet complete, confidence RECEIVERS slow
lily after SO violent a disturbance, and
the purchasing power of investing
classes has been greatly diminished
The discouraging influences in Wall
street have. however, been so thor
|oughly discounted that it is prudent to
begin to look upon the more hopeful
side. There is no doubt but that prices
are still abnormally low and must in
due season reach a higher Level. Cor
receive influences have been at work so
long that improving conditions must
soon result; and, saving the temporary
uary, the money market ought to grad
ually become easier and more plethoric
with the approach of spring. The last
bank call proved that the brunt of
the panic fell upon the New York
banks, which depleted their reserves
and expanded their loans to the limit
in order to give help, while the interior
banks often drew their funds from
New York and piled up unnecessarily
big reserves. The interior banks are
generally strong, and upon them
should chiefly fail the withdrawal of
government deposits, which Secretary
Cortelyou is expected to shortly an
nounce. Before the first of June money
threatens to become a drug in New
York and interest rates considerably
lower; though not as low as in the
fourishing era before the panic.
Increase In Exports.
Another feature affording encourage
ment is the course of our foreign trade.
Our exports in November were $204,-
O0O, 000-probably the heaviest total on
record-and an increase of $22,0O0,00
over last year. Our imports during the
month were less than Sill, 100000 and
SO, 100000 less than a year ago. With
lessened purchasing power on the part
of a very large lumber Of heretofore
rich people, the tendency will be to-
ward a diminution of imports and an
expansion Of exports; the healthiest
and most natural means of strengthen
ing our credit abroad and retaining the
gold recently imported.

land unusual real estate, activity. Thus
lit is gradually being demonstrated
that o. difficulties are largely fir.an
ciai; that to a very great extent this
has been a Wall street panic, and that
there are reasons for believing that it's
effects will not be as widespread as
as that of it's predecessors in 1898 or
1908.
