BETTER TIMES.

A year after the Roosevelt panic of
1907, conditions seem to indicate that
prosperous conditions are gradually
taking possession Of the country
commercial interests.
Looking back at the panic of year
ago, one is convinced that it was en-
gineered by powerful interests; that
the few men who control the financial
affairs of the country. deliberately
frightened their grip for the purpose
further enriching themselves. Having
accomplished their purpose, they are
now letting up" bit, with the result
that conditions are slowly becoming
normal.
1t takes a big stretch of the imagin-
alton to see how the recent election
had any bearing on the panic or now
has any bearing on the resumption of
affairs commercial. The men who
made the panic could have made it no
matter who was president, and they
would have, for their own interests,
restored good times, no matter who
had been elected president.
Only a strong, resourceful people
could withstand even for a short time
the system Wnlcn Is IN control OF
financial affairs in this country. That
the American people are strong and
resourceful the recent panic and. it's
aftermath conclusively prove
1t is plain to- anyone that the proper
method of dealing with this system"
has not yet been devised. The science
OF government has not kept pace with
economic developments in the past
two decades, and the great problem
of how to handle what now seems to
be all-powerful combinations, is yet
to be solved.
