A sTRIKINGLY STRONG ARTICLE
BY COL. HARVEY.
THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
"a Plea for the Conservation of
Common Sense" That Is Meeting
With Cordial Approval.

A strikingly strong article by Colo
mel George Harvey in the North
American Review, for September, is
written in a view Of such hopeful
ness fer the American future that it
has attracted wide attention. The
arti--a is entitled, "a Plea for the
Conservation Of Common Sense" and
it is meeting with the cordial ap-
prevail of business men of all shades
of political opinion throughout the en-
tire country. In part Colonel Harvey
says:
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. But, if it be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country is sound, must we
necessarily succumb to dependency,
abandon effort looking to retrieyal
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find the root of the dis
tress, which even now exists only in
mems minds, and then, after the
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
The Link that connects labor with
capital is not broken but we may not
deny that it is less cohesive than it
should be or than conditions war
rant Financially, the country is
stronger than ever before in it's his
tory. Recovery from panic so
severe as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compare
lively complete. The masses are
practically free from debt. Money is
held by the banks in abundance and
rates are low.
why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer, we believe, to be plain.
1t awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against eXtortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
THE solution is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the stu
alton is without precedent. But is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines?

FERRY CREW "TOO BRAVE"

Heroes Might Have Escaped.


Detroit, Mich. - The men who
went down on the Pere Marquette

brave, according to Capt c. H. West
colt Of Detroit, supervising inspector
of steamboats,. He returned from a
trip Of investigation into the sinking
of the car ferry. They were too
brave the captain said. They had
taken every precaution to leave the
ship, but stuck to their posts too long.
The ferry left her dock the day of
the disaster apparently In the best of
condition. 1t was declared the last
inspection was made in two hours,
showing gross negligence. This is
not the case, as I proved. The in

could not act as watchers, while
others took an opposite view Mrs.

Conserve Common Sense.

Patriotism is the basis of our insti-

of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring 1t
Is taught in our schools. A new
course has been added-a course in
loyalty Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between Qualifica-
tions of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as we'll as serve They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason Their creed, which they are
made to know by heart, is not COM
pick. 1t is simple, but cOmprehen.

lofty in aspiration. These are the
pledges which are craven upon their

his share to the well-being of his
country. America is my own dear
land; she nourishes me, and 1 will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
/ am.
las the health and happiness Of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop of blood doing
its work in its place, so the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place
These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can we not
safely assume that the principles ami
mating their lives augur we'll for the
permanency of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise of durability?
The future, then, Is bright And
the present? But one. thing is need
full No present movement is more
laudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let US never forget that the great
est inherent resource of the Amer
lean people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied with
out cessation, and soon it will be
found that all the ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of a great and blessed country.

Fair Exchange, Vet a Robbery.

Fair Exchange, Vet Robbery.
While Gustave Dore was at Ischl
and wandering about the mountains
he became much interested in a coun-
try wedding and sketched it on the
spot. He put the sketch into book
in the pocket Of his paletot and went
back to the hotel to dinner. After
dinner he looked for the sketch. 1t
was gone. Angry at the theft, the
artist called the landlord and made
complaint, but no trace of the book
was found. From Ischl Dore, went to
Vienna, and there he found a letter
and a parcel awaiting him. The let
ter, which was anonymous, read thus:
"Sir, 1 stole your book at Ischl. The
sketch was so charming that I could
not resist the temptation Of having it
in my possession, and I knew very
we'll you would never consent to sell
it to me. But theft is neither my
trade nor my habit, and beg you to
accept as a souvenir Of my crime and
my enthusiasm for your talent the
walking stick which will reach you at
the same time as this letter."
The cane was one with massive
gold head in which was set gem OF
value
