Tawnex OH the Recent PANIC.

The Hon. JAMES A. TAwNEY. NJ. c.,
Of Minnesota. the former and the next
chairman Of the House Committee Of
Appropriations, has had So much to say
about spending money that he il natur-
ally consulted and reveTed IA an eminent
authority on finance. A Washington
correspondent Of the Tribune has tapped
that well of wisdom, and a part Of the
Republican theory of things flows ont:
The policies Of the Republican party which have
now been In operation during ten years Of uns1-
ampled prosperity. nave not changed IN 10y way.
We have had good crops. excellent business 'Ondi-
Hons and men employed everywhere. Why. men.
should the party be held responsible for such =
panic as We have had The panic was caused by
'fesr and dIstrust which was unTounded."
Prosperity IL and Of right ought to he
Republican. The Republican party will
ever cease to take credit for all the
prosperity in sight. The Republican
party consists Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT at pres
ent. A panic occurs. The ordinary
view is that he, that is the Republican
party, is responsible for il. The official
and hieratio view is that a panic ia inn
possible when the Offices are in Republi-
can hands. How then can there have
been a panic in 1907? Read once more
the Gopher Gallatin's explanation:
The panic was caused by fear aud dIs,rusG
which was uniOunded."
A panic 10 a terror, an alarm; u state
of terror, Of alarm. Reduced 10 lis low
est terms, then, Mr.. TAwNEY's e1plana-
ton reads:
The panic was caused by the panic"
Ingenious, but a little fat. The Re-
publican position has always been:
Prosperity is Republican; adversely.
Democratic. The latter part OF that
position seems untenable this year. II

a Recipe for Reform.

" the American people desire wisdom
and virtue in high place they will turn
their backs upon men bred and educated
in cities and entrust their destinies TO
those who live the simple, mediiative and
unsullied life of the open country. There
is warrant for this view in the inspired
utterances Of two disinterested Demo-
Gratis who have always been close ~ the

the idea happily. The Governor, who
has fought the railroads To "A standstill
