Use and Abuse of Anplauss.

The present, We are told. is an age
of transition. New systems Of thought
are coming into vogue with new prob

But OF this we may be sure: They are
applauding as they never applauded
before. II may be an age of transit
ton; it is an age OF applause. The
tendency is toward hero worship,
But applause has it's use and its
abuse. II is one OF the really difficult
things to control Applause deserved
had better be withheld than applause
undeserved bestowed. 1t is more dan
gerous TO exalt q demasosue than to
ignore a demigod
One OF the by-produets OF this era
of unrest is the army of publicists and
public monitors who have voluntarily
taken charge of our thinking and
speaking. Some OF them have a real
message to deliver and deliver Il we'll

Stop Crying Wolf.

The United States Treasury depart
ment assures the people that there
will be no money shortage in any part
OF the country this autumn or winter;
that the banks have fortified them
selves against any possibility OF an
emergency demand. Money in this
country and Europe IL plentiful. Crops
Of all kinds are turning out heavy,
some at record-breaking rates and
general business is good.
II IL we'll to have this interposition
Of facts from authoritative sources. II
will help to allay fears and set the peo-
pie right a. to what they have to look
forward to. II will work beneficial re-
suits by way Of restoring confidence in
business and infuse generally a new
life into all lines of commercial activ-
ity. From official sources we learn
that the banks, exercising that intelli-
gent forethought that banks are sup
posed to possess, by piling up reserves
and cutting down risky loans. have en-
tireiy protected Themselves and their
customers from danger. Incidentally
we get an object lesson here Of what
banks may do when they take a for
ward view. They were given to under
stand that in the event Of a panic they
need expect little help from the gov
eminent. so they awaited themselves Of
their own power, which is quite suf-
ficient when duly exercised.
Then we learned of q general de-
probation in railroad and other cor
poration securities and falling off in
earnings. From official sources we
discover that stockholders and bond
holders Of corporations will collect in
interest S6,O0O,OOO more in October
than they did in October Of 1909 and
$29, 100000 more than in October
1908. And strangely enough, in the
face of the general demand of the rail-
roads for higher rates as a means of
maintaining fair profits, we learn from
official sources that among the large

Schwab Too Fast for Tsai.

Chinese royalty may be a very fast
pace in the orient, but 1t does not
seem to tax the speed powers Of some
of our well-known Americans. Prince
Tsai Hsuin discovered this to his
sorrow, it seems, when he under
took to output the genial Mr.. Schwab,
with whom he had Just signed a
contract to build 34s,0O0,0 worth
OF warships for China. 1t may not be
matter of national pride to know
that a plain, everyday American can
''go" SO much faster than a member
of the royal family of China, but it is
gratifying to feel that 1t was not our
Mr.. schwab who collapsed and had to
be carried to his hotel.l' -
The prince showed himself to be a
Jolly, good fellow" though, for the
tenacious effort he made to stay
Had he only thought, however. to
make an inquiry or two among some
of Mr.. Schwab's close friends he might
have learned something to his ad-
vantage and saved himself the depress-
! ing effect of the morning after"
Still any man who is close enough to
an imperial strong box to be able to
close a contract for $4Y,OO0,O0 worth
of war vessels, certainly has a right to
imagine that he is strong enough to
while away few convlvial hours with
simple American without such dis
astrous results. 1t is consoling to
know, though, that the prince was not
obliged to wire home for funds, OF
anything of that sort.
Our old friend. the sultan of Sulu
has just arrived in our midst, with 9
regiment or two Of his wives. We
wish to commend for his consideration
this little experience of Tsai's with. Mr.
Schwab at Philadelphia and sugges
that in case he visits that city where
brotherly love and good fellowship
forms so large a part of life, he pu
on the brakes little sooner than tn,
prince did, or he might wake up tn,

Penal Law and Christ.

Every now and then some idealist
tells us that we must abolish penal law
and substitute curative measures for
dealing with criminals, for crime is a
disease; that the criminal code is a
futile farce and penitentiaries q fall
ure, the whole institution of Furnishing
lawbreakers being simply a relic OF
barbarism.
Rev. Dr." Frank Crane, now Of
Chicago, is the latest to PROFOUND this
doctrine. Writing in the Chicago Even
ing Post, he says:
The world is going TO learn some day a
truth that now seems an absurdity-that
all punishment is wrong and worse than
useless. The iawbreaker Is diseased
II is our business to cure him, and not, az
In savage tribes, to beat him or drive out
the devil. = Christ and Tolstoy are
absolutely right.
The most logical and natural thing
In life is punishment. 1t is the princi-
pie on which all nature operates. Ma
ture has penalty for the violation Of
every one OF its laws, in the animal
and vegetable kingdoms alike. This
fact il too patent and simple to re-
quire argument. And in society the
principle is, can safely be, no different.
Crime may be disease, but neverthe-
less so long as man is human, penal
laws must be maintained and enforced.
The debt of mankind IL from the indi-
vidual to society, not society to the in
dividual.
Indeed Christ was right. but Christ
never preached the heresy that any
man can commit crime and escape its
penalties. He could not without de.
nouncing Sinai as a farce and Calvary
as a comedy. His own death for the
sins OF the world is the everlasting
answer to this fantastic illusion OF
twentieth century dreamers. To be
sure he said: Think not that am
come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am come, not to destroy,
but to fulfil"
And when, We imagine that the
Mosaic injunction of IAN eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth" was an
empty aphorism let us remember that
this same Christ on the mount said
For verify | say unto you. till heaven
and earth pass. one jot or one little
shall in no wise pass from the law. till
all be fulfilled"
What about the man, who, refusing
to agree with his adversary, is cast
into prison and kept there It'll thou
hast paid the uttermost farthing?'
Christ, the author OF salvation, cannot
be held up as the evamplar of any such
weak system of government as winkl
at crime and invites its commission BY
annulling law on the ground that hi
creatures are lot of imbeciles. Why
preach such a doctrine and then SAL
anything about the hereafter?

MAKING GOOD.
Result of President's Policy of Econ
Omy Beginning TO show.

New York Sun.
President Taft has devoted oonsidera BILE
thought and time to economy in the exc
cutive departments at Washington. The
subject Is dry and tiresome. Money must
be saved by careful attention to details, by
retrenchments that are likely to be called
"cheeseparlng, by the unpleasant process
of abolishing easy berths and dismissing
unnecessary servants. And when the results
are made known the savings often appear
lludicrously small because the amount saved
is usually put into comparison with the
total cost of conducting the whole govern
ment
Yet, Mr.. Taft and his suborninates have
kept at this necessary II disagreeable work
with results that are beginning to show.
In the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
last year II per cent more work was done
than in the previous year and for sl72,O 200
less. OF this sum $4,000 was saved by re-
ducing the size OF internal revenue stamps.
The new methods Mr.. Hitchcock has intro
duced in the PostOffice department promise
TO make that enterprise self-sustaininE
This will be done by attention TO small
details as well as by vigilant scrutiny OF
large items.
Mr.. TAFT promised economy and is MAX
| ing good his promise. II is a homely, pro-
sale affair, to be sure, but il will affect
/ the pocketbook nerve Of every voter Il
should be a matter of interest, even to the
most violent and heated OF insurgents.

That the national energies should be con-

how is one part Of the country to persuade

which all others should give way? And
