less than either financial or indus trial interests. The reaction was of course severest in Wall street, but depression was almost as severe in manufacturing as in financial circles. This was particularly conspicuous In the iron building and textile trades, But revival is here also becoming more pronounced. Orders for pig iron and iron products are steadily increasing because buyers recognize the turn has come and are placing contracts which have been purposely held back. In July the output of pig iron was 1.217.0o0 tons, or larger than in any month since March. and at present the output is running larger than at any time this year.
 Some big orders for both rails and cars are being placed by the rail- roads, which is not only very bene- ticial to the iron trade, but demon strates reviving confidence on part of railroad managers. The same is true in the building trades, and returns from fifty-one cities showed an in crease of Is per cent in July over the same month last year, the recovery being chiefly in New York. In tex tiles there is also growing activity and an important auction sale of dress goods held this week was un- expectedly successful and has exert ed healthful influence in the dry goods market Other instances, such as smaller declines in bank clearings, in business failures, in railroad earn ings, etc, could be cited to prove that business recovery has fairly started and has not yet reached its limit.

If the honesty and sincerity with
which we all begin the new year in
resolving and determining to do better
and be better, We're only efficacious,
the millennium would soon be here. But.
although our good resolutions are soon
broken-frazzled out by the wear and
tear of everyday life, yet at least
they serve one good purpose; they
show that we want to be better; that
wehave superintendent ambitions of the
higher sort, however weak our execu-
ton may be in carrying out the program
we lay down for ourselves every New
Years Day.
We are not disposed to laugh at our
brother who makes lots of good resolu-
tiens every time January the first
comes around. His is a better and
nobler spirit than that cynicism which
does not pay even that passing homage
to virtue.
New Years Days are like milestones
in the course Of time each year is in
itself an epoch sharply defined on the
calendar, if nowhere else. The old
year is gone, new one is begun

BEING PRESIDENT.

The Rev. Dr.. Macarthur, of
New York, in a sermon preached
recently, said of President
Roosevelt
pity the man who will be
his successor. 1t has become
harder and harder to fill the po-
Isltion, and the standard of
requirements has become higher
and higher. George Washington
could no more fill the position of
President today than than he
could fill the position of Poet
Laureate of England. Neither
could President Lincoln. They
were equal to the day in which
they lived, but conditions have
become harder and harder"
If Dr.. Macarthur is right, we
shall soon get to the point
where the position of President
cannot be filled at all, and then
what are we going to do about
eXaltlng ruler over us? But, as
the Washington Star says, even

THE REAL REASONS
Why Congressman Gambler Was Not
Appointed.

Speaker Cannon, says a recent
Washington dispatch, has confded tC
Democratic members of the Committee
on Agriculture his real reasons for
refusing to re-appoint Mr.. Gambler, Of
Mississippi, to that committee, al
though Hon. John Sharpe Williams
strongly recommended the First Dis
trict Congressman for the assignment.
The Speaker has suddenly growr
economical, and one of the government
departments he has marked for the
practice Of stricter economy is the
Department of Agriculture. As a
member of that important committee.
Mr.. Gambler has stood for liberal ex.
penditures along the lines that led t.
the greatest good to the farmers
throughout the country. In fact, Mr..
Gamblers generous idea of helping the
agricultural interests, caused Uncle
Joe to book him as a man of too ex.
travagant notions, and herein lies
according to prominent Democrat Of
theIHouse, the Speakers reasons fm
not appointing him.
To the Democratic in question, whc
is also a member Of the Committee OF
Agriculture, Speaker Cannon gave tho
following subjects upon which Mr.
Gambler entertained very broad anf
liberal notions The Appalachian for.
est reserve project increasing tho
governments aid to agricultural anf
mechanical colleges, the building O.
good roads and the wider distributjo,
of free seed.
Speaker Cannon is straight out
against the Appalachian forest reserve
proposition, although the President has
twice commended it to Congress arc
the governors of every State east OF
the Mississippi and the representative,
in Congress from these States favor II
The Speaker is also against amplfy
ing the aid already being given at Ii ,
Governments expense in the free dis
tribution of seed, and in encouragirr
experimental work, notably in ayr;
cultural colleges. He says that in Y
last four or five years the annual ey
penditures under the Department @
Agriculture have grown out of all prc
portion to the other departments, arr
ne had to organize the Committee O.
Agriculture with a view to keepir,
appropriations for this branch of II,
government within economical bound,
ries.
Mr.. Candler's friends are unanimo,
IN the opinion that he could not hay

OF the House of Representatives in
worthier cause than the championshi,
