In the opinion of President Butler Of
Columbia university, the period of re-
adjustment through which we are pass
ing in this country is to be considered a
phenomenon onnected with ethics rath-
err than with economics.
''The people, he says, care gradually
realizing there is moral responsibility
in business, in politics, in every phase,
indeed, of our life. The people are awak-
ening to a national consciousness in
which public and business morals are
placed on the same basis as the individ-
ual.
This idea is worthy Of careful thought
and attention. There can be no question
that in times past it has often been Gus
tomary to applaud men for their success
in business, as well as in politics, with
out tinizing too closely the methods
they pursued to attain such success.
The man who got there, " was accord
ed full credit for the success of his eff
forts, even though it was known that
more or less selfshness was included
IN his motives, and that he occasionally
was compelled to fall back on the excuse
Of the "end justifying the means. -
Thus in business it is a well known
fact that so-called sharp practice was
often resorted to by men who would
never have thought of following the
same principles in their private life and
private relations with others. Business
is business, " has been the text which
has furnished many a man with ready
excuse for following a different lire Of
ethics in business than he observed in
his private life. And so long as such
men played the game according to the
rules, and well within the letter of the
law, the general public was willing to
at least look on with complacency.
According to Dr. Butler, however,
times have changed and there is a new
code OF morals growing up to govern
business conduct and relations, as well
as the duties and responsibilities i'm
posed on public officials This new code
demands closer observance of the
principle of exact and scrupulous homes
ty, and uniform fair dealing without
subterfuge or evasion.

The Neu $40 Gold Piece.

As you may never see the coin 1t may
interest you to know how it looks. The

ugly so gold piece, of course. They
are all pretty, albeit some are prettier
than others. But the last output is the
lovhest of them all. In the first place
there is the eagle. He wears a lovely
pair of pants. At least we suppose they
are pants they look more like pants
than anything else we know of. To he
sure, they appear TO be bit baggy and
abbreviated, but We dare say they are
stylish. and that counts for great deal
in art. He is strol!ing along leisurey,
like an American gentleman should.
That is, We suppose it's he surely a

the financial doctors are that they know
Just what needs to be dore to get the
country back into easy end safe paths
There are places that aye considerably
farther west than Oklahoma, but the
difference is easily made up by the fear

Said Gov. Haskell of the new state
in the course of his inaugural:
You can look for immediate relief
wherever you please. When you are
tired of looking elsewhere you will
agree with me that the quickest road
to financial relief is to close the New
York stock exchange, free the currency
that 1t dominates. and turn it into the
channels of legitimate commerce.
Asset currency, clearing house certifi-
Gates, guarantee deposits, government
issues Of bonds and interest bearing
notes have nothing to do with the re-
turn of prosperity. Look wherever they
may the anxious people have finally got
to agree with Haskell that the only
really ''quick" road to financial relief is
the closing of the stock exchange at
New York.
And nobody has as yet nominated
Haskell for president, or even for vice
president.

THE great numbering districts of Wis

industry was known, are giving away
to the establishment of agriculture.
The hum of the cream separator has
taken the place of the buzz saw, and

Der shed. A broad, more beneiicent civ
ilization has spread its wings over the
vast region. LAUNDERING brought great
wealth &c a few. Agriculture is going
to bring a hundred times greater an ag-
gregate of wealth to many and to the
state. Some of the finest farms in the
northwest have been wrought in few
years from what was almost unbroken
wilderness before.

lF the action of the president in or

will have served a double purpose
That the present currency laws need
revision in way TO prevent recur-
renee of such llurries as the one recent
ly started in New York, is generally
conceded, but there should be enough
investigation and discussion of the sub
iect to furnish guarantee against
serious defects in the proposed law.

CRUSHED BY FALLING WALL
William scheurenbrand Seriously In.
jured at San Francisco, Cal, by
Falling Brick Wall.

Gottlieb Scheurenbrand received a
telegram this morning FROM San
Francisco, CAL, informing him that
his son, William, was seriously.injured
yesterday by being crushed under a
falling brick wall on which he was
working. The telegram stated that
the chances for his recovery were
very small. Mr.. Scheurenbrand sent
a message asking as to his sons con-
dition today. If The young man is
still alive the father and mother will
start for San Francisco at once. and
if his life is ended Mr.. Schueren-
brand will go alone to bring the body
home.
The young ,uan went out to San
francisco about Il month ago to
spend the winter, and if he liked it
there he intended to work through
out the winter months, expecting to
return in the spring. 1t is to be
hoped that the young mans life will
be spared, for he is a worthy son.

Our Railway..

The average number Of passengers
In each railroad train In the United
States in 1904 was 1925. This repre-
sents q growth from about SO q train
In 1898. but is still far below the de-
velopment attained abroad. In 1898
Germany carried an average of II per
sons in each train, and India had the
large figure of 1S9. The development
Of the electric railway in this country
and the frequent train service help to
keep down the average. On each of
the $4,000 miles Of railway In 1904
there were carried an average of 1O4.-
1913 passengers. That is to say, the
aggregate passenger mileage of the
country, according to the Railway
World. divided by the mileage Of the
track, gives the figure named. In Ger
many, as far back as 1893, this figure
was $4,000 persons; in France 1t was
$4,000 in 1897, in India $4,000 and
In Austria 214.OOO. The figures for
Great Britain are not obtainable.

THE SHORT LIVED DOG.
HIS Normal Length of Life but One.
seventh That Of Man.

seventh That of Man.
Surely it Is by an unfortunate dis
pensation of nature that the dog, be-
yond all question the chief friend Of
man among the other animals, should
have a normal length of life which is
no more. IN a fair computation, than
~one-seventh of his own. There is no
other figure which expresses the rela-
tive ages Of man and his dog so well.
The puppy of one year is about at the
same canine age as the child of seven.
At two years he is probably a little
more advanced than a fourteen-year-
old boy. but the canine age of three is
very nearly equivalent to the human
twenty-one. And so 1t continues
through all the years of canine and of
human prime respectively, the ratio
fairly we'll preserved. 1t has to be ad-
mitted that the old age Of the dog, thus
computed, outlasts the old age Of the
man. One hears stories which seem to
be fairly authentic of dogs living up
to eighteen. and if we do hear stories
OF human beings living similarly up to
126. at least we do not believe them.
But such an age for a dog is quite the
extreme limit. The dog of ten years
approaches the equivalent Of the three
score and ten which had been named
as the fair end Of the human crea-
lures tether, and on the whole the
multiplication Of canine years by seven
all through the stages Of life gives the
corresponding age Of man better than
any other figure gives it.-Westminster

Ab.tnth In tn. c1... Room.

An amazing discovery has been made
In one Of the communal schools of
Paris. A class master noticed that aft
er 10 o'clock every morning n Of his
pupils. a little boy Of seven, seemed to
become a prey to fits Of delirium. he
thumped his neighbors and when re
proved by the master rolled on the floor
shrieking and groaning like n pos
sessed. The child was constantly In
the habit Of asking leave Of absence
for a minute or two, and the master
had him watched. 1t was found that
he carried q small bottle of absinth in
his pocket and took a sip as often as
he could escape from the class room. 1t
has been proved that the child's mother
olled the bottle for him every morning.
