EDITORIAL

1t may be thought that this is a
gambling age, what with the fren-
zied stock markets etc., but this is
nothing to what the next genera
ton of Americans will be unless
the present wild mania which has
practically deluged the land, of
baseball and other sports is curtail-
ed. The floodtide betting days of
the now banished lottery will be
completely submerged under the
developments that the sins of the
present fathers will show up in the
coming children. Already both
girls and boys hardly out of the
nursery togs can be heard making
their wagers; how will it be when
these impressionable young sprouts
have grown up into manhood and
womanhood constantly under the
feverish anxiety and din of fathers
and older brothers stakemaking
and breaking. In the history of the
rise and fall of the great empires
and government that have shone
in the worlds history, some great
nationwide vice has always swept
them into obscurity. God forbid
that Americas decadence can ever
be traced to the present rising tide
of betting. Like hopeful physi-
can, we trust that the present
throbbing pulsebeat of the Nation
over is nothing but a fever, thai
will sooon subside, as had done the
prizefghting wagering. Remove
the wagerers and the sports largely
cease their invidiousnesses.

From now until the Fall election
this continent will seeth and throb
with political fever. The people
are aroused as they haven't been
for years over governmental ques-
lions, and the weathervanes point
persistently to a volcanic upheaval.
The encroachment of the predatory
wealth class upon the rights of So
ciety general is largely res onsible
for the present disquiet that has
grown directly out of the panic
with that as the underlying cause.
The corporations have been too
greedy in sucking the life-blood of
the nation, and too defiant in re-
sisting Legislative restrictions. Un-
less the legislatures construct, the
people elect men to enforce, and
the courts administer justice more
evenly regardless of caste, money
or influence, this American Nation
will inevitably be plunged into
revolution in which blood may flow.
We trust that it will be fought out
along political lines and bloodlessly
and with fairness to both corpora
tion and private Individual to both
patrician and plebe, but we can see
movements all over the land that
portend momentous things unless
the correction and cure can be
found at the ballotbox. Our con-
fident hope that it is can and will be
done but we still realize that our
government is passing through a
grave test. AS an American we
have unlimited confidence in Amer
lean institutions. and the ability
of its people to work out all the
problems that can develop.

Some of the business seers have
again begun to give out statements
wherein they purport to trace signs
Of commercial and industrial re-
sumption. Hope their prognosti-
cations will speedily prove correct
and that business will resume as it
were with tn, quickness of winged
flight. We do not believe that
what gradual identification that
may come between this and middle
Fall will save the country from
feeling the hardest pangs yet of
the panicky season. The period e.
lapsing from midsummer to mid
Fall is always, even in normal
business times, a season of tenn
porary inactivity. A readjust-
ment period for the year in bust
ness channels. 1t has to come in
the general economy and retrench-
ment of ordinary commerce, and
this year owing to the general
paralysis of business industrial,
commercial; timidity of finance,
and lack of confidence prevelant, =
is coming with an unmerciful
clinching. There will be more fail
ures possibly in this Interim than
in the nine months antedating since
the panic struck. and in the nine
months to follow its expiration.
Nobody need take any alarm at this
reference. It's merely directing at
tention to something that in the
natural sequence of things is ready
here and that we are passing
through. Just take a courageous,
hopeful breath and proceed eau
tiously and unless circumstances
are overwhelmingly against you,
expect to survive through it and be
all the better for the experience.
There is lesson to be got from
this whole panicky season, and those
who fail to absorb it will in the
years to come regret their failure
TO get it.
