produce the same results through
all time.
In almost every town there has
been a busted BOOM" of the place, of
business or of an individual. The
recuperation may be quick; the
operation of cause and effect never
varies Market prices are superficial
ly cold, practical figures In fact,
they are the beliefs of men A bushel
of wheat is always worth something
because there are enough people who
need bread to fix a minimum demand
in exchange, but whether the gold
price this morning is so cents or a
dollar is a matter of confidence 1t
is the same with securities; the same
with the orders of merchants upon
factories.
Our latest national experience, the
Ledger points out, will not be pro-
longed or sharply distressing. The
country is in excellent condition as to
capital and commodities. The causes,
however, are the old causes which
were at work in 1857, 1873 and 1893.
We shall soon catch up, but catch
up we must. The inelastic currency
was cause to the extent that it
made difficult tiding over of the
crisis. 1t was not the deepest or
most potent cause. Beliefs in value
had gone beyond the supply of avail
able capital. They caught fright and
stopped working. The revival of
vigor of faith will not come from
greenbacks, or entirely from an emer-
gency currency, but chiefly from the
solid good sense and increased labor
of men. Legislation is not the re-
fuge. Optimism and rugged effort
are the life of recuperation. There
is no obscurity about busted boom
and none about the recovery.

THE NATION NEEDS A REST.

This was the key note of the recent
interview by ex-Representative
Charles A. Towne, of New York
Mr.. Towne is Disguised with full
some praise of Roosevelt as a Demo
cratic leader. He does not regard this
praise as properly bestowed or as a
good political move. There is still a
vast divergence between the admins
tration politics and those of the his
toric Democratic party, and the lines
of demarkation cannot be too strong
ly kept before the public mind
The former congressman speaks
quite vigorously along this line and
other lines. He does not hesitate to
express views that many other pub
lie men probablylhave but have re-
Trained from giving publicity to, as
they should have done He says in
part:

leaders to represent the President as

HON. JOE. BROWN AS CANDIDATE

Political predictions are to the eff
feet that Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, who
was fired" from the Railroad Com
mission because he refused to do the
bidding of Gov Smith, will be a can
didate for Governor at the coming
Democratic primary.
If Mr.. Brown should enter the race,
the campaign will be a lively one.
He is the representative of the con-
sentative element in the Democratic
party, and would rally to his support
many voters who contributed to the
election of Gov Smith. 1t is we'll
known that large part of the fol-
lowing of the Governor at the last
election has become alarmed at the
effects of the Smith policies and be-
lieve that the best interests of the
state would be served by retiring the
present incumbent
Heretofore it has been the custom
to honor a Governor with two terms,
but precedent should not be allowed
to stand in the way of the states pros
perity, which has been greatly i'm
peded by the policies of the Smith
faction in driving away capital
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Brown
can see his way clear to make the
race. Even if he should be defeated
he will do a great work in educating
the people to the iniquities of the
Smith regime, and insure the election
the next time of himself or some
other citizen who will openly repud-
late the dangerous doctrine of the
present administration.
But if the administration could be
overturned at the coming election the
state would have a weight taken of
its industrial progress which would
be felt in every line of activity, but
in none more so than in the sure
prosperity of the railroads and allied
industries. Such a thing is to be
devoutly wished for.

NAVY REPLIES TO CRITICISM.

A reply to the criticism of the
United States navy has just been
made public by Secretary Metcalf, the
answer having been prepared by Ad-
miral Converse. The aspersions on
the efficiency of the navy were the
work of Henry Reuterdahl, published
in a magazine Reuterdahl is 9
Swedish marine artist, who is now
with the Pacific fleet. His criticisms
were of the most drastic order, and
when he finished with the warships
they were about as valuable as none
at all
But Admiral Converse takes q
much more roseate view, holding thai
the differences between the American
ships and foreign are points favor
able to the former. The Admiral
says that the criticisms were pre-
pared by persons whose knowledge
of the subject discussed was limited
and inconsequent." However, he adj
mltS that the SnlpS are pot perfect
and that if they were to be built
again material changes would be
made.
Each subject treated in the mag
azine article, was handled by Admiral
Converse, including armor, ammuni-
ton hoists, turret designs, gun po-
sitions and free board
At the time of the publication Of
the criticism, it was intimated thai
they were inspired and the general
opinion is that this is correct. It's
publication will undoubtedly lead tc
good results by directing attention tc
the real defects, promoting a genera.

ton to commit our party to the pro-
gram Of continuation of Roosevelt
ism. 1t is, in my opinion. not only
wrong, but unWise as a policy 1t is
both bad patriotism and poor tactics.
1t surrenders the advantage of party
initiative, and abdicates the historic.
characteristic and beneficient doe
trines of the organization. 1t obscures
the great issue of tariff revision and
/ seems TO involve us in endless COM
mltment to eEtrayagant expenditures
and the indefinite multiplication of
the functions of government
The Democratic party does not
owe Theodore Roosevelt its doctrine
of the greatest good to the great
est number, and it can go on champ
ioning the welfare of the many
against the interests of the few with
out relinquishing its great principles
OF home rule, local lf-goyernment,
the preservation Of the autonomy of
the States and the restoration and
maintenance of the balance among
the coordinate branches of the ma
tional Government. Not only is there
danger that we may be guilty Of aban-
doning the fundamental conceptions
of American constitutionalism, but |
believe 1t to be poor party policy to,
threaten the country with four years
more Of unrest, uncertainty and ca
PRECIOUS representation The body
polite must, like the physical body,
find some repose after a prolonged
period of strenuous nervous excite
ment.
I believe that the country, while
determined to take no backward step
in maintaining the rights of the cit
liens against the Entertainments of
corporations, is inclined to pause a
while and take stock, so to speak, of
recent achievement | believe the
people are ready to welcome a Pres
ident who would be content to en-
force the laws without seeking also
to enact and interpret them / believe,
in short, that it would be both patri-
otto and polite for the Democratic
party to promise the nation a lucid
interval of constitutional govern
ment"

SIMPLY 4 BURSTED BOOM.

The Philadelphia Ledger takes the
view that the recent, and still some
what apparent, depression in general
business was simply the result of a
collapsed boom that was widespread
in extent and consequently wide
spread in its effects
AS the Ledger points out, there
is no difference between a busted
boom" in one city and another, or
one state and another, or one country
and another Germany suffered a
few years back from too quick ex-
pansion of its industrial life, other
countries have gone through similar
