MAKING A nhcoRp.

It Is now claimed that the great ocean liner. Mauritania, will make the round trip from Lverpoo1 to New York and return in fourteen days, and out of this must be taken the time neces- sary to discharge and reship passen. gers, fuel. stores and other things needed on such a monster. The dis tance Is six thousand miles. and allow. ing for detention at New York the running time will probably not be over twelve days, and may be less. It is noted that the vessel has already registered the wonderful speed of twenty-four knots an hour. or about twenty-seven miles. In fact, as The Brooklyn Eagle figures it., the vessel must make an average speed of twsn- ty-five miles an hour.
 Think for a minute" it says, "of what this means. Six thousand miles of ocean crossed within a fortnight; maiis. passengers and baggage ship ped and discharged at either end of the line; food supplies and coal for two voyages hustled with the rapidity of lightning into storage rooms and bunksrs; and. withal. something like a day and d half left clear for the use of the passenger to whom q round trip under such tremendous pressure is business necessity"
 Think, too. of what wonderful changes time has wrought in ocean travel during the lifetime of many now living. Seventy years ago, when the steamship Great Western made a record of 2Os miles day. or eight and two4thirds miles an hour, the people of that day thought it was won- derful going, and no doubt there were many ready to predict that the record would never be exceeded. But progress is not given to stopping and three- score and ten years have made changes as great In navigation as in many other things. whether the limit has been even approached no one can say, for new surprises are always lying in wait. It may be that the generations to come after us will see ships built on different lines propelled by dlffer- ent power and making speed records of which no one of this age even dreams.

 The false report of the death of Col onsl A. A. Wiley which causelessly alarmed So many of Moftgomery's peo- pie Thursday proved the high esteem in which the Congressman from the see- ond District is'held by his people. The expressions of love and esteem that were let fall during the discussion of the erroneous rumor was of such a nature that any public man of the country could well be proud of them. They should be a source of pride to Colonel Wiley and his friends. If Col onel Wiley could know of the many splendid things said of him he would be helped and strengthened in his long and weary struggle with disease.

If the members of the Republican Legislature of Oregon obey the wishes of the people. and abide by anti-elec- tion pledges, the extraordinary result will follow of the election of & Demo crat to the United States Senate. It was agreed by a large majority of those who have been elected to the Legislature that the man receiving a majority of the popular vote for sena- tor should be chosen and Governor Chamberlain, Democrat. received a safe majority. He has been twice elected Governor of the State. although large Republican maJorities were given to all other positions. If the Republi- cans elected to the Legislature go back upon their promises ana decline to vote for Governor Chamberlain they will violate plain moral obligations. as well as the principles of the primary law under which the election was held. We hope they will prove true to their written pledges.

That Phase of Currency Problem Alarms Administration.
 washington Special to New York Jour- The flush of satisfaction felt by the Republican leaders over the passage or the new currency bill is already begin ming to give way to q chill of alarm Messages received here appear to fn- dicate that the banking community and the business men of the county at large are feeling a great deal of anxiety at the outlook, and are wondering whether the new bill will not result in far more many of the Republicans to wish that they had gone more slowly, and had pursued the plan of shirking the whole issue and leaving the currency question such body might deem best Legislative action being deferred until next winter. The feeling is shared by some of the keener sighted members of the adminis- tration.
 One form which the anxiety of the best Congressmen takes is expressed in the question: What will Europe say2''
 It was this problem which was act of 1890. The result Of that neglect was the return of a large volume ot American securities, which came back to the United States because foreign CTS feared that the country would drift to the silver standard. If Europeans should consider the new act really dangerous to banking stability in the United States, might they not follow the same line of action now? The ques- ton has been raised in serious earnest by groups of Congressman ever since last Saturady night The monetary standard is, of course, comparatively secure under the act of 1900, but 1t would be by no means an impossibility to drive the Treasury into position where it would have to sell bonds and struggle hard to keep up the power t. redeem emergency notes in gold should there at any time be a large issue oi the new circulation. That such a state of affairs would be at once per ceived and that it would cause most Moreover, even if, there should be no large and sudden issue of notes for an emergency currency it is now seen that gradual imitation may easily fol- low from the use of the bond security section of the act. If this proves to be the fact the effect will be, of course, the same that is always experienced in like cases---a loss of gold and com sequent weakening of the basis of re- demption Should the notes be largely issued to help along some movement in prices, the result of a stock Jobbing operation, there might be rise in the values of securities. which would bring great qualities of the latter on the market, drawing them out of the hands Of foreign holders ana calling them home to our market, there to be realized upon in gold or gold eQuiva- Tents.
 That these and other contingencies are clearly foreshadowed by bankers the country over Is shown by the Voiuminous correspondence of various members of Congress on the subject.

SATURDAY., JUNE ., 1908.

The Pittsburg CPa.) Dispatch Is q newspaper which claims to be ipde- pendent. but has as . general thing shown itself warm supporter of Roosevelt and ali he says and does For that reason 1t is somewhat sur prising to find in recent issue the following severe criticism.
 The manner in which some of the so- called ''malefactors of gfeat wealth have taken advantage of the White House hostility to feather their own nests and to. promote their weiIare 3s times grow older 1t does not appear that any single one of the parties against whom the Washington batteries were turned most vigorously has loSt ground by reason thereof. On the con frary many of them are more strongly entrenched and richer than before the s astfsas tSoSkR Psgsh gsha bT men in wa street had been capitalizing .Administration hostility with purposeful intent n court 1t is sometimes as profitable to have known enemies who can be re- lied on to make certain moves in re- sponse to definite irritation.
 Most people who are not blinded by political partisanship have found out that the administration loud-sound- ing denunciations of the trusts. and its threats against the "malefactors of great wealth" were all intended for effect. The trusts. the great cor porations, the tariff-proteeted million aires, all these form one of the most valuable assets the Republican party has. and it is not to be supposed that the leaders of that party. from Roose- welt down, have any serious design against their strongest and most profitable adherents.

The change of sentiment in less than two years on the part of tho peo- pie of Georgia is the most remark. able in the history of the State. At the primary, election in August 1906 Governor Hoke Smith rode the topmost wave of popnlkfity snd received ssoso more votes than were cast fer the four popular men wno ran against him It seemed as If ali of Georgia sought to do him honor And that fsis word was to be law SO far as Demo- cratic, party affairs were concerned. His campaign was along the same iins as that of Governor Conner who in less than week after the Georgia primary swept Alabama like a cyclone.
 Tt took but few months to demon- strate that Governor Smith in Georsia like his imitator in Alabama, was long on promises and short on performance. Smiths induction into ofice was followed by no beneft to the people and 1t was easily to be seen that the feeling of being duped took possession of thousands who had formerly been his ardent admirers and supporters and they made it known in a way that can not be disputed, when they went to the primary election last Thursday.
 A majority such as that given to MT. Joseph M. Brown is evidence not to be misunderstood. that the people believe continuance of Governor Smith's ideas will work harm to the state and he ought to take it as notice to him to change his tactics. wnl he do so? He is not in the habit of toierat- ing opposition to his viii and the over- whelmins reBuke administered to him may not have any effect on him. He has considerable time yet to serve as Governor of Georgia.

 last October there have been twenty eight suicides in thls country due di- dectly to the financial panic. That seems to be a very low figure. If only twenty eight persons out of S0.00O. 900 were driven to desperation by the panic 1t could not have been as serious as many persons supposed. There ought at least to have been a three-hgured number of suicides, judging from the amount of talk there has been about 1t.
