Everybody to Blame
For
Trouble.

e@@@ssss~s@H HE FINANCIAL PANIC IN THE YEAR 1907 WILL
DOUBTLESS CAUSE MANY BUSINESS MEN ALWAYS
ST. I TO REMEMBER THE YEAR WITH FEELINGS OF re.
+ PENTANcE OR REGRET. IT BY NO MEANS FOL-
+ + LOWS, HOWEVER, THAT WE SHOULD LOOK FOR.
I WARD WITH FoREeoD'Ncs OR FEAR.
~**S~~"@~* We have had our panic, but it is over, certainly as
far a, its ACUTE stages concern us, and will soon be only a matter
of history. If we are to judge from the past, we can at least be sure
we are not likely to have another in 1908. If there is any periodiciy
in such matters the period is FORTUNATELY Of much longer dura-
ton than IL single year.
The conditions which made this crisis possible are the ACCUMU-
LATED COMPOSITE RESULTS OF MANY YEARS OF BUSI-
NESS. The whole world has been ~ERTRADI AND Elk
PANDING, and nowhere has it been more rampant than in the
United States. The reaction was inevitable, and though it might not
have taken the form of a bank panic had we been better prepared with
such a banking and currency system, as we should have, the time had
come when some or all must pay for our overindulgence.
It is impossible to exactly locate the blame and SAY JUST WHO
SHOULD BEAR IT. "Tet, the man who is without sin cast the first
stone" There is no one in any way connected with any business who
has not in some way contributed to the expansion.
1T S NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE sPEcULATED IN STOCKS,
COTTON, GRAIN OR REAL ESTATE WHO IS THERE, HOWEVER,
WHO HAS NOT BOUGHT STOCKS OR 6oNDs IN SOME ENLARGED
UNDERTAKING, EITHER PERSONALLY OR As A DIRECTOR OR
EXPENSES OR MADE SOME INVESTMENT BASED ON THE CON-
FIDENT EXPECTATION THAT BUSINESS WOULD CONTINUE WITH
THE ACTIVITY IT HAS SHOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS PAsT7 !
KNOW OF NO ONE WHO HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED TO THE GEN.
ERAL CONDITIONS IN THIS WAY.
One thing i certain, we n all now in the same boat and must
endure together the after results of the panic, and WE ARE ALL
VITALITY INTERESTED IN MITIGATING IT'S EFFECTS and
recovering from it as soon as possible, leaving the minimum of per-
mancnt result.

At SWELL DINNER
Wore Bathing Suit at Function.
Is Plunged Into Water, De-
spite Her Struggles.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 21.-This city is
sitting up and taking notice today of
a dinner in the smart set at which one
of the principal guests, a young ma
iron, who was attired in a bathing suit.
was ducked in a tub as a climax to a
night of merry-making.
The function was given at the Elk
ridge Hunt Club, 1t is said that it vas
gotten up by Mrs. Henry Clews, ir,,
of New York, who was Miss Louise
Morris. of this city.
The natron who went to the dinner
attired in the bathing suit was Mrs.
Raj Parr. the wife of one of the most
prominent clubmen of this city. As
the dinner progressed the fun grew
faster under the mellowing influence
of the champagne, and finally matters
took such a turn that General and Mrs,
Alexander Brown, leaders of one Sec
tion of the smart set of this city, ST.
lently departed.
Finally some one suggested that
Mrs. PARIS bathing suit was not prop
erly Il bathing suit until wet. Accord
ingly a tub filed with water and flow-
ers was brought In and Mrs. Parr was
put in the tub. despite her struggles.
1t is said that the governors of the
Elkridge Hunt Club are making al
investigation. Mrs. Parr declares that
the dinner was q private one and die
not concern any but those attending it
and she declined on that score to say
what went on.

INyENTS DEVICE WHICH
PROTECTS TRAINMEN.
Central Trains Now Connect
Brake and Signal Lines Be-
meath Cars Automatically.

Stephen ID. Barnett, of 2 Rector
street, Is the inventor of a railroad
safety appliance described as a Con
nector,' said to solve the problem of
automatically connecting the air, steam
and signal lines between cars, and to
be the only device making connections
beneath the cars. The device is now
in use on Central trains leaving New
ark at 7:12, 1925. 1925, $40 a. M: 8,
$3.50, 6:10. 6:45 and 1920 p. m.
The connector consists of a head
casting with passages for air, signal
and steam service. The automatic
service is established through straight
passages which lead to train pipes.
The inventor expects to place many
orders within the e few months. as
1t has been highly commended by rail-
road authorities. 1t is sufficiently
strong to act as a coupler should the
cars part. 1t has been found capable
of holding an e~ighty-car train, and so
possesses an indirect quality that is
of great value in preventing accidents
from breaks in couplings, as we'll as in
its primary purpose.

RAILROADS DO NOT
INTEND TO CUT WAGES.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21~.-Industfia4'
and financial circles are more or less
concerned over what they regard as a
prospect that the railroads of the coun-
try have in contemplation a general re-
duction in the wages of their en-
ployees.
Such apprehension is practically
groundless. Information which has
reached the Interstate Commerce Com
mission particularly and other officials
of the government, who have a direct
or indirect interest in industrial and
railway matters, indicates clearly that
there is no concerted action on the part
of the American railways to make gen
eral changes in their wage scales at
this time or in the near future.

'they act as though they we're crazy.
Despite the alleged opposition TO
Chairman Rotterdam to the open

consulted Governor Fort and has pre-
pared suggestions for the committee
appointed to revise the primary law to
prevent imposition and fraud.
One Of his suggestions Is that the
party platform be adopted for state,
county or city prior to the primary.
and that any candidate to be eligible
must take an oath to support the plat
form. Another would check boiling
and also prevent candidates of the reg
ular parties from running on i%ndepend-
ent tickets. He viii also suggest that
the registry hook of the next preced-
ing year be used at the open primary
TO check Democrats from voting in the
