DOG AND PONY SHOW

Big Crowds Turned Away From Tents at Every Per

Two enormous crowds yesterday piac-
ed the stamp OF approval on the Cen
try Brothers dog and pony shows. The
one Of last night, however. was the
banner congregation in the history of
the Gentry Brothers visit to Washing
ton. Ten minutes before the perform
ance began. the men handling reserved
seats had disposed OF every ticket on
hand. The grandstand was packed TO
capacity
Five minutes later the ticket wagon
outside the tents was closed, and ad-
mission could not be gained for love or
money It is characteristic of Ameri-
can audiences that the larger they are
the better humcr they are in. That last
night was an example of this. There
vas a merry ripple Of laughter through
out the evening, and none of the train
ed animals was sighted
Barney, the king Of the monkey den,
however. was the king bee of the oc-
casiOn. Barney did stunts as a physi-
clan early in the show and finished the
performance by acting as marshal of

Senator BeverioC Cr last night objected
TO the provisiong OF the bill which re-

be put on certain parts of the imported

He contended the name of the country
was sufficient. He was not SLOWED to
go into the matter at length owing to
the insistence Of the leaders on a vote.
This morning, Senator 3everidge took
the Finance Committee sharply to task

leaders that the course they were TAX

TRAVEL BECOMING SAFER.

In most important and gratifying
way the fiscal year ending with June
80, 1909, was one of the greatest in
the history of railroading in the United
States. From the reports of the
transportation activities in that period
of time which have been made public
so far. the Atehison. Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, the Northwest
ern, the Burlington and the PennsyI-
vania carried their millions of passen-
gers without killing single one of
them.
Statistics from the states that these
roads traverse will show, as one of
these railroads points out, that there
are a great number of fatalities each
year in those states as result of ac-
cidents to persons pursuing their usual
duties. This indicates that travel in
the United States is now attended with
less hazard than pertains to the every
day vocations of life. 1t is a magnifi-
cent showing and one fer which the
railroads are to be heartily congratu-
lated.
II has been made possible by the

double tracking of the main lines of
travel, the operation of effective block
systems and other safeguards which
have contributed materially to the
operating efficiency of trains and the
elimination of the element of personal
danger to the traveller. The large rail-
road systems have further plans for
the spending of huge sums of money
in further activities along this line. 1t
will be money in their pockets in the
long run for figures were recently pre-
sented to show that the personal dam
age claims which the railroads of the
country have been paying of late
mount UP to tremendous totals. p
Not long ago a report came from
England to the effect that during the
past year not passenger was killed
on any of the British roads including
all of them in England. Ireland, Scot
land and Wales and it was remarked
that travel has become so safe in
Great Britain that an accident of any
kind is startlingly unusual" From
the excellent showing made by four of
the large systems in the United States
during their last fiscal year, the day is
likely not so far distant when the same
statement can be applied to. the pas
senger transportation conditions in
this country.

ONE PANIC, AND SOME OTHERS.

THE present splendid recovery of
bushes confidence and resumption of
manufacturing activity give little
time for retrospection, and yet it will
not be amiss to make a comparison
of the recent trade depression-'the
panic of 1907 as it is called-and the
panics which have preceded it, says
the current Iron Trade Review. BE
cause of the financial stringency
which began in the fall of 1907, many
Industrial companies were forced into
receivership roceedings-the weaker
ones eventually into bankruptcy
where probably they would have
found themselves, independently of
any panic; the stronger ones even
tually into bankruptcy-where prob
ably they would have found them
selves, Independently of any panic;
the stronger ones weathered the
STORM, and most, if not all. have had
the receivers discharged and are in
complete possession of their plants
and business. Another effect of the
stringency was to cause enormous
shrinkages in paper values and to
destroy conf1dence-but, there was
comparatively little loss to legitimate
~ invested capital: manufacturers
were not such as to alarm them I'M
duly. and in fact, most of them had
reserves which had been carefully
guarded and conserved. This condi-
ton was reflected in the deposits
boarded up by the small savings banks
depositors, who shrewdly took advan-
tage of the sharp decline in stocks,
and invested all or a part of their
savings in gilt-edge securities at very
attractive prices These were some
of the conditions of the panic of 1907.
In other panics, it had been different:
manufacturers had lost their capital,
their plants and their credit, and had
gone down to financial ruin, the
wrecks of their enterprises strewing
the shore of the industrial sea. A
good comparison might be made by
employing the figure of a price chart,
previous financial depressions may be
represented by line curving down
ward and forward, and then upward,
to indicate the depths to which capt.
tai fell, and the actual money losses
sustained by manufacturers and their
slow recovery. The later disturbance,
now happily a thing of the past, fair
ly may be represented by a straight
uring interests did not make any mon
ey for year, or longer, they did not
lose large sums; therefore, the end
of the panic found them not much
worse off than when it began
