The department of commerce and

titled Statistical Record of the Prog
ress of the United States. 1800-1907,'
which furnishes great deal of timely
and highly suggestive information 1t
is shown in this work how the country
has advanced in material things, and
an especially interesting part of the
exhibit is that which relates to the
financial progress since 1897. 1t ap-
pears that on July ], 1907, there was
in circulation in the United States the
sum of s2,77s. zoo, 900. against $780,

showing was $13, 1000, 0o0,0 900 in 1907,
against $4,000, Oo0, 600 in 1897. This is
a presentation which proves how the
circulation and the bank deposits have
kept pace with the growing needs of
business and have illustrated the gen.

Prosperity and West Point.

The present shortage of 20 or more
in the authorized strength of the
cadet corps at West Point is not ex-
planned by the superintendent as due
entirely to the severity of the entrance
examinations. There has been in re-
cent years an increasing number of
appointees who have failed to report
at the academy for their examinations,
in this years new class the number
reaching 10. The average boys burn
ing desire to be soldier, particularly
an officer, appears to have been cor
rupted by the "commercialism" of our
times, according to the army view, for
the superintendent of West Point re-
marks: 1T is believed that the more
lucrative pursuits and greater fields
for promotion of private life are di-
verting young men from these careers
of small pay and slow promotion in
our country's service" Thus pros
perity has hit both ends of the army
the academy and the recruiting Of
