WORK,
Notable Feature of the Present Trade
situation.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The most notable feature of the trade
Improvement now in progress throughout
the United States is that Of construction
work.
We refer not only to the vast schemes
of the great railway systems. which are
SO far advanced as to call for almost i'm
mediate orders for material and supplies,
but to the building operations in the great
cities, the extensive governmental, naA
tional, state and municipal outlays for
various public enterprises, and the many
millions OF dollars of construction entered
into by private investors in electric work
and the other millions by individual owners
throughout the agricultural districts for
home and farm betterments.
These in the aggregate swell the invest
ments and the current and future expendi-
lures to a tremendous aggregate and be-
token IN energy and a solid wave OF prog
ress OF greater force and wider spread COM
pass than this country has ever witnessed
in its history.
1t is true that the manufacturing dis
tricts are unsettled by the proposal OF tariff
revision, and probably will be so until
after definite action has been taken thereon
by congress.
Once that is out of the way the pent-
up cash in the banks belonging to manu-
featuring corporations will be loosened up
and rapidly find its way through the thous-
ands rivulets to the great stream of active
money and general circulation.
II will then be advance all along the line
in financial, commercial and Industrial af-
fairs.
The reports of all the business agencies
show a solid, safe and sure foundation for
legitimate business enterprises.
The life blood, nay, It may be termed,
the whole body of sound business, is de-
pendent upon full and ample supply of
cash to uphold and sustain the volume and
force OF trade movements.
That this country possesses now in greater
amounts than ever before, and the best
assurance OF all is that the amount of
actual money in our circulation is steadily
increasing.
It seems now that as spring opens up
the workingmen Of the country will be fully
employed, and employed by July in greater
numbers than even before the late none
tary stringency.
There exists no doubt of the splendid
condition Of the agricultural districts.
Those districts through their prosperity

shall have cleared away it may be
seen whether the Steel trust is in posi-
ton to suppress competition and put
the independents out of business. 1t
has some marked advantages in this
line of business through its ownership
of the ore mines, means of trans
supply. If it succeeds in killing of
competition at home. congress can do
nothing short of reducing the tarin
on steel to the point of forcing the
trust to come into competition with
foreign markets in order that the con-
sumers in this country may not be
placed wholly at the mercy of one cor
poration.

KerneI of the Trouble.

DV5VUIT dITbV ~
The race war in South Omaha is an in
dication that the opposition to alien par
ticipation In Industries in the west is not
confined to Asiatics, but extends to the
most ancient and famous OF European civ
ilzatlons. to a people OF a nation that
stood in the forefront of art and letters
when the ancestors of most of us were bar
barians. In our exclusive theories, care has
been taken to differentiate between white
men and brown or yellow men. but when
we get to the real kernel Of this hostile
sentiment we find 1t applies to most of the
newcomers, especially to those who work
in groups. The west has ben badly bitten
by this prejudice and seems determined in
many ways to make trouble for the Wash
ington government.

Absurd

Congress now tries to lay down a hard
and fast rule compelling the assignment of
a certain percentage of the marine corps
to battleships and armored cruisers, and
resembling the appropriation for the sup
port of the marine corps If that percentage
should not be maintained automatically
for every single day between July l, 1909,
and July 1, 1910. The improperly of such
a provision is s~elf-apparent. If the battle
ships and armored cruisers do not happen
at any time to carry detachments of ma
rines equal to Q per cent of their compile
ments, the pay OF the whole marine corps
officers and mentor the rest OF the year
is to be forfeited. 1t is a ridiculous pro-

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's RECORD
A Great Champion and ExempIar OF
American Democracy.
GAI..-. nN.IA.n.A

American Democracy.
Chicago Tribune.
In many details OF his multfarious activ-
tiles Mr.. Roosevelt has erred. To err is
human. He has fallen short and failed. He
has never faltered. As Lincoln did before
him, he has known how to meet overmas-
tering necessity with opportunism, but he
has not taken his eye from his chosen goal
nor relaxed the iron of his determinSNAon.
His devotion to the national idealsS his
fervent patriotism, have been an inspira-
ton to his generation and will be a last
ing example to posterity. Nc president
no patriot has ever put away power in a
nobler spirit nor with . firmer will than
he when he refused a reelection that
would rave come In spite OF reiterated
pledge and refusal had he not opposed to
II the full force of his influence. A great,
champion, conservator and exemplar bfI
American democracy, Theodore Roosevelt
has been the captain of his people, and in
the house Of the lowly. as in the house OF
the strong. he has been the mighty prophet
of a better day.

Her snowy shoulders
Peeping out

Oh the peek-a-boo

At the sight of you;
There Is a wondrous
Light that lies
And wimples In
Fair Phyllis eyes,
And Phyllis cheeks
Are round and fair,
And there Is gold

And there's a dimple
Lurking in
Her rounded, saucy,
Tilted chin;
Her teeth are rows

And she's the sweetest

For summers here.

When L.. s. Grant was inaugurated, In
1869, the government again contributed the
use of a building-the north wing of the
treasury department. President and Mrs.
Grant and Vice President Colfax and lady
and distinguished officers of the army
and navy made the occasion unique among
balls in Washington.
But at the ball marking the second inau-
g~uration of Grant. though the president was
no less the popular hero than before, the
ball was a failure. 1t had been planned
on a scale OF the greatest magnificence, in
a temporary building again in Judiciary
square, but the weather was bitter cold
and the building OF such flimsy material
that the participants suffered intensely
and retired early.
When Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugu-
rated, in 1877, no ball was held.
When James A. Garfield succeeded him,
four years later, the ball was held in the
unfinished Museum building Of the Smith
synian institution. This was a beautiful ball.
President Cleveland was the first one to
be favored with a ball in the Pension
building. More than 5000 persons attended
the ball. and half as many more wanted
to get into the gorgeously decorated hall.
From 1855 to the present time the Pension
office has been the only place used for
these recurring events.
