the things that were behind, whether
mistakes or attainments, left them al
together in the past, and stretching

he used all his energy and strength to
achieve them. Good wishes at the be-
ginning of the year or on ones birth

will not come true by the mere wish

whether they are beautiful and happy

SOCIALISTS
OPEN CONFERENCES
Report Shows Rapid Growth
of Party in Numbers
and Influence.

LEIPsIC. Germany, Sept 13.-The an
nua1 conference of the German Socialist
party opened its business sessions to-
day. Paul Singer, a member Of the
reichstag. presiding. The conference
was formally opened at a festive gath
ering, when speeches OF greeting were
delivered by Socialists from other
countries.
-Four hundred delegates were present
In the big hall today, surrounded by red
flags and revolutionary notices. The re
ports Of the executive committee gave
favorable accounts Of the progress Of
the movement IN Germany Tor the past
year. The number Of Socialist deputies
in the reichstag have been increased to
fOrty-four OF a total Of 3g7.
The report also showed that I'm each OF
the state legislatures throughout Ger
many there were many Socialist dele
gates. In this way the Socialists de-
clare their representation in the inn
perial and state assemblies IS sufficient
20 make the voice Of the Socialists
heard in the councils Of the nation.
There are IN town and district cOun-
ellis 7.191 Socialists. The entire party In
Germany numbers 633 300 paying mem
bers. of whom S2,259 are women. The
AVERAGE contribution of these mem bers
IS 2 cents n week.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS CON
TINUE TO IMPROVE.

September is continuing TO exhibit a
general tendency toward increased
business that confirms the prevailing
belief that a good fall and winter are
ahead.
Pessimistic predictions as to what
would happen on the death of Mr.. Har-
riman and that the bottom would fall
out of various railroad stocks were
completely set at naught, and there is
nothing in the conditions in the money
market to warrant apprehension. On
the whole, there are signs that easy
money rates may be expected for some
months to come
One of the rlost hopeful signs of the
times is the remarkable increase in
railroad earnings. Interstate Commerce
Commission authorities point out that
a number of the roads are up to their
1907 level. Earrings of practically all
the lines are materially greater than
those of this time last year. and the
reserve force OF idle cars is being
drawn upon. In fact, the number of
idle cars continues TO dwindle so rap
idly that the predictions of Chairman
Knapp several weeks ago that it would
not be many months until there was
a car shortage seem more and more
justified. Bank clearings are expand
ing and there is a steady growth in in
dustrial operations.
Everywhere activity in manufactur-
ing is shown. This is especially true
In 81 Sizes of finished steel products.
All departments of the iron and steel
business are booming. owing to the
enormous demands for structural steel
for building purposes for many months
ahead. the dema nds for steel rails and
the call for the various other forms of
iron and steel needed for the purposes
of construction and manufacture The
production Of pig iron is exceptionally
heavy. In the textile markets and dry
goods trade the outlook is satisfactory.
ME the crop reports on corn and
wheat are not as encouraging as earlier
in the year. the crops viii still be heavy
and viii tax the capacity of the rail-
roads TO move them. And what is of
the utmost moment. there is reported
from all over the country what may be
called a splendid state Of morale in the
business and industrial world That is
TO say, there Is everywhere the most
cheerful confidence that a good bust
ness year Is ahead. The mental state
Of the whole country as to the business
outlook has been completely reversed
since the months Immediately following
the depression Of two years ago this
fall.

TROUBLESOME TIMES FOR
THE POOR GEOGRAPHERS.

These are indeed troublous times for
the poor geographers. They have hard
work keeping up with the procession of
discovery, development and change on
the face Of the world. Once they get
fairly caught up, something happens to
make them lose step. The geography
and map which are good today arc ot.t
of date tomorrow.
IL has been more or less so, of course,
always. But it would seem as if the
last decade had been particularly bad
for the maker of biographies. Did ne
complete a book by noon, it would be
out of joint with the progress of Things
by sundorn. Along in 1893, came the
Spanish War America wrenched Cuba
and Porto Rico from Spain and settled
down into the possession Of the Philip
pines and the old maps had to be re-
vised. Moreover, there was a demand
for better and more complete maps
and descriptions Of the Philippines and
the whole region in that part of the
world than there had been before. The
geographer worked overtime and was
about out Of the woods when the Boer
war broke out and the attention of the
world was riveted as it had never been
before on South Africa. The results Of
this war and Of the various rapid de-
velopments in railroad building. cxplor-
alton and settlement in that continent
speedily threw all the maps and geog-
raphies awry. The Boxer troubles pin
ned the attention of the civilized world
on China 70 a degree Heretofore I'M
known and every one studied China and
was getting fairly we'll posted on things
when along came the war in the far
East. Korea dropped out of existence
as an independent sovereignty and there
were other vast changes as the result

and the geographers. About this time,
Panama broke away from Colombia and
the United States acquired the lsthmlan

raphers busy for the next few years.
Tibet was opened up 10 the eye OF
civilization and various changes were
made in the shifting map of Europe,
Norway severing itself from Sweden
and Austria taking over Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Then along came Shack
elton and pushed the limit of the un-
known in the Antarctic region far TO
the South. And now, just when the

ADVICE ON HOW TO AVOID
COMMITTING SUICIDE.

Now and then some one arises TO
sound a new note of alarm 10 an age
more or less hardened to alarms and
terrors TO the effect that suicide is on
the increase in this country. And, in
the strain and hurry Of modern life. il
appears to be true that the tendency
toward an increased percentage of sui
eide is noticeable At any rate. the
habit Of depressed and disappointed
folks taking themselves off is altogether
TOO common, though it cannot be said
TO be a habit that is ny any means
confined TO this country. or 20 the civil
lied countries. The disposition of the
japanese 70 commit hara kiri on slight
provocation is evidence Of this, for.
while Japan is attaining high place as
a nation, there can be no doubt a CON
siderable share of her population has
not emerged az yet far into the realms
Of modern day enlightenment.
Il IS therefore interesting to find an
authority IN American medicine coming
forward with some sound advice. He
thinks that physicians could do much
20 lessen the suicide ratio. He says
the person prone TO suicide is the un-
derfed, overworked person, who has an
exaggerated idea of his own work, and.
of course, OF his own Importance in the
scheme Of things, He holds that the
physician can do much 10 lower the
number of suicides by encouraging the
idea that people should rot overwork
and overstrain themselves and should
not take life so seriously that they
cannot relax and recuperate. In other
words, he would have the idea cultivat-
ed that there is a time for work and
a time for play, and that everyone
should somehow find some time 10 take
life leisurely and not try TO live keyed
up necessarily to a high pitch. More
over, he would not have man ire
mendously overestimste the Importance
OF his own work

COMPLICATIONS IN POLAR
D., CONTROVERSY.

Suggestions about creating com
mission to investigate the cases of the
rival polar explorers viii require modi-
fication if complications continue aris-
ing. No one commission would be able
TO sift all the charges and counter
charges now demanding attention. 1t
is plain enough that both sides are de-
termined TO have just as much scandal
as possible in connection with the rival
pretensions, and that by the time Cook
and Peary get their respective stories
in evidence. there viii be so much bit
terness that nobody with any interest
in the matter will be able to avoid tax
ing sides.
Newest developments include, to the
disadvantage of Peary, the story told
by the Danish physician, Hansen, that
Pesry Communicated the stores estsb-
lished by Cook at Annotok, in fashion
which strongly suggested a most hos
tile purpose toward Cook; and on the
other hand there comes the remarkable
story, from the New York Herald CORE
spondent az Cape Ray, that when Cook
met Harry Whitney in the far north
he did not even claim 10 have reached
the Pole. Cook has alleged since he has
been in Denmark, that to Whitney he
gave custody of part of the precious
records of his final dash. Apparently
Whitney didn't have these. or at any
rats he didn't think it necessary TO ad-
NIT his possession Of them 70 the Her
aid correspondent. Whitney's story to
the newspaper man was simply that
Cook claimed to have made a new
farthost north record; not that Cook
claimed TO have reached the Pole.
The situation is getting strangely
snuddle6. Peary certainly seems TO
have manifested a disposition to mon
opolize polar rights, and to squeeze out
competition. On the other hand there
is general disposition TO accept his
positive claim that he reached the
Pole. The confidence in D.. Cooks
story Is not so universal. II is simmer
ing down into an agreement that Peary
reached the Pole. and an argument
whether Cook also reached it. Peary
seems to have the better proofs, and
yet they are apparently very similar 10
Cooks.
Commander Peary has made charges
which he must absolutely prove or else
place himself in a highly unenviable
position IF he is prepared with the
absolute proof, he will demolish Cook.
1t is hard TO see how both the rivals
can now escape without one or the
other being sadly discredited.

program, IN appearance, at least. More
over, it has the merit that it needs no
physician to apply it. Anyone can do
it for himself. All that is demanded is
a little common sense application of the
idea that the human machine demands
slowing down at times Just as any
other piece of machinery, and that il is
Just as easy to look on life from the
bright and optimistic side as from the
dark and gloomy viewpoint.
