THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The troubled financial waters appear
to be subsiding without serious dis
aster. Banks foresee resumption of
currency payments within short
time. In New York bankers predict
a return to cash basis in about two
weeks. This it is noted will limit the
stringency to about six weeks Not
too long time surely for the read
justment of conditions that have been
more than six years in the making.
There have been few bank failures, Il
failures, and transportation lines have
steered past the receiverships that
We're thick in SO.
The New York Tribune reviewing
the situation, Is especially optimistic.
1t says what the newspapers of the
middle west has been saying for a
year:
1t is not without significance that
the country should already be APP
preaching the end OF the most acute
period Of this disturbance with so few
disasters. 1t is an evidence OF the
sound foundation of American pros
perity and Il promise that the coun-
try will pass thru this necessary
phase Of contraction without u serious
Gripping of business. There are good
reasons for taking the cheerful view
of the situation that President Trues-
dale OF the Delaware, LackaWanna &
Western raisoad takes. He says that
business recession was sure to come
and that it has come at a fortunate
moment. Since it was certain to oc-
cur" he says, I'VE should be glad that
1t fell upon us now in times when
crops are good and foundations solid,
instead of being postponed year or
two when possible crop failures and
other disturbances might have caused
us to suffer ten times as much"
Wages, the cost of materials and the
rates of interest had steady advanced
for several years, until " became
serious question with every producer
whether there would be a profitable
market for his wares finished at such
expense. The railroads answered last
year the question whether they could
profitably operate additions to their
systems built at the current cost of Ia
Dor and capital by cutting down their
projects to the minimum of bare ne
cessity. That is the situation which
in some measure all business was fac
ing at the boom prices. A recession
from such a condition was bound to
raS1I1t and there is every indica tiOn
thus far that it has occurred at such
a time when the country could best
endure 1t.

lily, seasons quickly. and makes eX-
cellent fuel.
The Norway poplar grows very rap
idly In Minnesota 1t has been known
to grow fifty feet high with a diam
eter of seventeen inches in fourteen
years. It makes a good shade tree,
retaining It's leaves until late in the
autumn, and on account of its rapid
growth should prove very desirable
for windbreaks and shelterbelts. So
far as is known at present, this tree
is perfectly hardy and will grow UNI
der variety Of soil and moisture con-
ditions. 1t seems, however. to respond
quickly by increased growth to culti-
walton and care.
The advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar. one
of the most popular of cottonwoods,
is chiefly in its greater hardness, bet
ter form, and the seemingly superior
quality Of it's wood as shown In pre-
liminary studies made by the United
States forest service. 1t will be some
time before the Norway poplar will
be available for widespread plant
ing, since cuttings of the true variety
are at present very scarce and hard to

THE THANKSGIVING ROUND UP.

The newspapers of Thanksgiving
day and the day after are directories
of places where feasting and mirth. re-
unions of friends, religious services,
etc, took place and Of the persons who
gathered there. The sons and daugh-
ters who came home from the TAR
country, the sermon preached by the
minister, Mrs. De Montmorencys party
and the movements and pleasures Oh
people all are touched upon ana
scanned by casual eyes in the news
paper. A full fed happy world serene
under past blessings and hopeful o.
the future took a day off to be happy
yesterday
But there was an under current that
few saw or took time to notice. one
of the best little news stories of yes
terday was that OF big comfortable
police officer, who, on his way to din
ner, found an Ole woman, hungry, i'll
clad and without means to pay rent or
buy a meal and did what every big,
honest fellow does in a case of that
kind, Before he dealt with the turkey
that awaited him, the old woman had
been fed and the thread found to I'M
ravel her difficulties. Then the big
man in the blue coat went home to
dinner hungrier and happier.
It is pitiful that "in whole city
full" an old woman must sit cold and
hungry until chance eye sees her
and a passing hand relieves her want.
It is pitiful that old men and old
women who have toiled in their
strength must sit apart from happi-
ness and even comfort when their rail-
ing powers render them unable to push
and pull and trample in the struggle
for existence. Such there are in ev-
ery CITY and town. The curt dismissal
Of these cases with the assertion that
"had they saved their money they
might be comfortable" will not do. In

instances. Any way these old people
and cripples and incompetents OF ev-
cry degree are hungry and cold. There
can be no true Thanksgiving untll
their necessities are relieved. Even
the worthless man struck down In an
accident or falling in a fit on the street
is tenderly cared for. What OF those
who suffer worse than accident unseen
and unthought of?
The best Thanksgiving news OF ali
was that suffering and want had been
relieved and that the trouble OF one
unable to help herself had been shifted
n stronger shoulders. That is a story
out of the heart of Thanksgiving.

The Cherokee Times concludes that
the Davenport prize fight incident will
have good results in demonstrating
clearly "how helpless the governor
really is when he tries to enforce the
law against local sentiment and how
reasonable is his demand that the chief
executive be given power to remove
county officials who will not do their
duty"

1AF nnc1oR,s DUTY.

A pitiful story comes from Aurora
ri, where distracted father sought
one physician after another in an eff
fort to bring help to the bedside OF MS
sick child. According to an Aurora
newspaper one after another answered.
the frantic pleadings of the man win
tho c,rt announcement, II do not make
night calls" Towards morning a phy-
stefan was obtained. 1t was too late.
The disease, diphtheria, had possession
of the baby's vital forces and it died.
The incident is unique and stamps
the physicians of Aurora as in a class
by themselves. We are wont to regard
rho nhvsician as a man Of tender heart
with deep sense of his Responsibility.
He is generally kind man and gen
t,eman. Those who listened coldly to
the plea of the distracted father at
Aurora are neither. They do not be-
long in a profession so intimately con-
nected with our homes and the inner
instincts that actuate humanity. There
should be some method whereby they
might be debarred from practicing the
profession they disgrace.
The editor who writes this, recalls
an old country village physician VINO
rode the country side somewhat after
the fashion of Ian McLaren's Doctor
Mcclure Day or night, poor or rich,
he fought his way to the bedside OF
need and suffering, proud of the con-
fidence of the people and glad in his
service. He died at so, 'soughed ava :
worn out, but he had done his duty
and after nearly quarter OF a cen
tury his name is held in affectionate
regard by the people Of half an Hi
nois county Another, an Iowa DOCTOR
called one snowy cold day in mid
winter to a patient twelve miles away,
grumbled as he buttoned his fur over
coat for the twentyfour mile trip
Said he, mildly, BLANK has never paid
me during the fifteen years l have at
tended his family. If he were sick I'd
be tempted to- tell him to send for
some one else but 1 know his Wife's
trouble and it's up to me to help her"
He '.soughed AVA, two or three years
ago at Sc. On the day of his burial
the northern Iowa village where he
had worked and lived for twenty five
years, was crowded with sad faced
country people and men wondered
how they could get along without the
man who had been physician, confidant
and friend. And these two instances
may be multiplied with almost every
town and village as a factor to the
product of splendid self sacrifice and
