Prosperity's High Tide.

In the general wind-up 1906 is
showing the United States to be in
better financial shape than any other
country. The weeks markets closed
in New York with a decline in the
rates for money, and an advance in
stocks. 1t was money instead of
stocks that was generally expected
to advance. This is an agreeable
surprise, and indicates that the BUSH
ness situation here is stronger than
it is in European centers. The high
rates for money in the national banks
of England and Germany were ex-
pected to have an adverse effect here,
by sending money rates up farther
even than they were few days ago,
but the opposite has occurred.

Stand Up and Be Counted.

The secret ballot may have its uses

But an open vote, where men have

on record is sometimes a mighty
good thing. The national house Of
