NEW YORK HAS IT.

One OF the chief novelties of 1908
in New York is mild but interesting
agitation for female suffrage. Under
yellow and black banners bearing the
words Votes for Women" various
impassioned oratoresses grieving at
the position to which woman is rele-
gated in this country are lecturing
from soap boxes on crowded corners.
Just what specific ends this suftra-
gette invasion with demand for votes
for women hopes to accomplish mere
man has so far had considerable dif-
fculty in determining. One. OF the
more fiery oratoresses has announced
that the country is in need OF moral
revolution whatever that may be.
Another has taken for her theme the
statement that as woman is the boss
Of the home which is the greatest fac
tor in the advance of the country, she
ought logically to be boss OF every
thing else. Still others advocate the
abolishment OF rents. 1t Is noticeable
that about SO per cent of the street
corner audiences are composed OF
men who grin cheerfull,, the remain
ing per cent being made up OF
women who are extremely disdaining.
One man, apparently OF English dis
traction, found himself in consider
able danger of serious fight for
shouting "No petticoat government
for Hamerica.' Various requests were
made that he "give the women a
chance to talk" and matters looked
stormy until he explained that he had
left England on just that account
No local Countess of Warwick has
yet appeared to chapion the cause and
altogether the movement, while it
attracts interest by its novelty, IS not
taken seriously.

AGAINST WITHDRAWAL.

Nobody ought to be surprised that
one of the most influential newspapers
in Cuba, the Discussion" of Havana,
protests prompt and vigorously in a
long editorial against the American
administration program which con-
templates the withdrawal of United
States troops on February l, 1909,
and the leaving of the island to work
out its own destiny from that date
on. The republic ought to be re-
established, it is admitted, but the
time fixed for it is too early says
this shaper Of popular opinions. III
is mere exigency OF American
politics, altogether irrespective OF
Cuban interests" declares the Dis
cussion." at is very deplorable that
the United States is to loose Cuba on
a fixed date with no reference to the
condition it will be in on that date.
The program will greatly damage the
country, bringing sudden accumula-
ton of happenings just at the height
of the sugar season, most inauspic-
ious time" And it is further stated
that predictions as to the length OF
the new experimental republics life
are very pessimistic = some think
there will be revolution as soon
as the American army vanishes be-
yond the Moro Castle, while others
think it will stand as long as it takes
to build it." If one of the earliest
acts of the next American administra-
ton is to send United States troops
to Cuba and take her over" again
it will shock none of us who know

DIAMOND A DRUG.

Society will soon have to discover
something new in the way OF jewels
il diamonds continue to be the drug
on the market which the panic has
made them, As things go at present,
the demands is almost at stand
still and as for prices, about all that
is necessary to obtain stone is to
name your own prices, Nobody
wants to buy diamonds and the seri-
business OF the situation in this regard
which has already brought the failure
of several large diamond houses
simply because trade was dead is in
stanced BY the fact that the importa-
tions of these gems for 1907 was
nearly Sl2,0O000O less than in 1906
when prosperity was so much in evi-
dence. Diamonds which cannot be
sold are just so much unproductive
capital, fact strikingly illustrated by
the inability OF the firm in whose pos
session it is to dispose OF the world
famous Hope blue diamond valued at
$250,0O0 A serious phase OF this
stagation is found in the pawn shops.
In New York more than anywhere
else in the country people OF small
means have acquired the habit OF pur-
chasing diamonds with their savings
instead of banking them, on the
theory which heretofore has always
held good, that the stones would in
crease steadily in value could always
be sold at profit and most import
ant of all afforded certain means OF
raising cash through the pawn shops.
But where pawnshop men formerly
lent nearly 50 per cent OF its value on
a pledged stone 10 per cent is now
about the limit. Consequently those
in New York who find themselves in
possession of diamonds are curiously
enough the owners Of about the least
profitable and most expensive luxury
possible. Not the rich but the poor
are those who have diamonds now.

CHICAGO. Jan. 23,--Thc love OF a

Triumphant American Optimism.

Optimistic philosophy Is the dom.
inant note in American life, II per-
meates all classes. The grumbler,
the calamity howler, the predicter OF
evil, the man who thinks that the
country is going to the dogs, and
that American institutions are deter
liorating is the exception. not the
rule.
Who can ever estimate what we
owe to that splendid wave OF optim-
lism which has swept over this coun-
try since the panic9
Everywhere we hear strong busi-
ness men talking optimism, trying to
lreassure the people, cautioning them
against the fatality of spreading the
lpessimistic note,
The optimist of the press has had
a wonderful effect on the masses,
Especially the ignorant and the timid.
In Chicago, especially, many OF the
business and social organizations
have done splendid work in allay-
ing the fears OF the people.
Ii the recent panic had occurred
twenty-five years ago, it would have
been very much more serious. Peo-
| pie were much more pessimistic than
they are to-day, The leven Of op-
timism is working marvellous
change in our people. We are more
hopeful, more confident.
There are not so many people to-
day as there were formerly, who be-
lieve that things are going to the
ldogs.
We have more faith in ourselves,
more faith in our country, more faith
in that great creative principle which
finally rights all wrongs, and which.
in spite OF all disaster and seeming
wrong, finally brings harmony out
OF discord.
Our people have unbounded confid-
ence in Americas future and this Wig
lorous American optimism will ulti-
mately make any very extended fl
nancial panic impossible. Our re-
sources are too vast, our people too
gritty, too resourceful, too inventive,
too determined, too hopeful to long
be materially affected by any finan-
cial disturbance.
Nowhere in the world is there
crowded together such untold re-
sources, such vast unexplored wealth,
as in this country; and nowhere else
have the inventive, resourceful facul-
ties OF man been developed to such
an extent as here in America.
And better than all this is the fact
that the hopefulness OF the indiyidu-
al matches our national optimism, Tor
her no youth is hampered or man
acled in his race for success. His
only limits are in himself.
We have as yet scarcely scratched
the surface Of our vast resources.
Even during the recent panic we
knew that the confidence OF our peo-
| pie as to Our future greatness and
grandness was not shaken in the least.
Everyone knew that it was only a
temporary storm; that behind it the
sun OF American progress and enter
prise was shining and would soon
dissipate all the clouds.
Running all through the American
people is great underlying phil
losophy OF optimism. Hope, not des-
pair, carries the American banner
success Magazine.
