Not Enough Money In the World.

In the May number of Munsey's
magazine, its editor and proprietor,
Frank A. Munsey, writes at length Of
the business stu alton and takes for
his thesis the statement that ''there is
not money enough in the world today
to do the worlds work." He traces
the causes of the panic with this idea
in view, and ridicules the idea that
Roosevelt was the responsible factor.
He says the crash was inevitable and
two years overdue. The demand for
better living was at the bottom of it.
The expansion of trade outreached the
available supply of money. There
was too much prosperity and credit
was strained. High finance and colos-
sal steals also had much to do with
the result, and Roosevelt had checked
this bad work. But the Roosevelt
radicalism of today would be the con-
servatism of five year hence. Munsey
believes in the president and urges
that the people need him in the White
house another term, ''until he has
concreted into the laws of the land the
principles for which he stands so
strenuously."

Will Close Packing Plant.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The packing
firm Of Henry Much's company OF
Patterson, N. j., was visited today
with the displeasure OF the govern
ment, when the department of agri.
culture ordered the withdrawal of its
meat inspectors from the concern for
repeated violations of the pure food
law. This action ia the first of its
kind under the new laws governing
the control of packing houses.
The withdrawal OF the government
inspectors will prevent the concern
from entering its product in foreign
or interstate trade. No transportation
company will accept any goods from
the firm for interstate or foreign trade
which does not bear the government
inspected and passed" label.

any appreciable amount of dust. There
are few sharp curves, and the grades
are so slight that It has become a
great t~horoughfare for speeders, with
the result that there are many police
