begin to drop because they think they
are going lower. Naturally, they want
to buy at the lowest possible price.
And when prices begin to fall it usual
ly portends a storm in the business
world.
There is no reason to believe,
though, that the one which will follow
the present drop in prices will attain
any considerable size. The business
and financial conditions throughout the
country are now on too firm founda-
tions' to be hurt severely by a squal1.
And such drop in prices as is now
going on is more than likely in the
nature of their natural reimbursement
Prices for almost everything have been
abnormal1y high for many months. The
workings of the new tariff law are just
beginning to make themselves felt In
the business world. And while the
prices of things are being read1usted to
meet the changed conditions, business
will not be lively. 1t will remain in a
more or less stagnant state until the
readjustment is effected. When that is
brought about, it is reasonable to as
sumo that business throughout the
nation will show renewed activity and
attain its recent prosperous proper
tions.

IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.

In Bradstreet's report for last week
on the commercial conditions of the
country is a statement to the effect
that jobbing and wholesale trade lines
and industries point to slowing down
rather than a quickening of demand
and the downward tendency of many
commodities does not seem to have
brought out much new business.
Now, as a matter of fact, does any
man in touch with business affairs or
any student Of economies recall time
when business was brisk while prices
were falling? Surely, there have been
few, if any such instances. in the busi-
ness history of this country. The re-
verse is always the case. When prices
begin to tumble there is always a
slackening up in buying. The reason
is a simple ons. Everybody stops buy
ing any more than the actual necessi-
ties of trade demand as soon as prices

Prince Henry,s Tact

The sincerity of Prince Henry of
Prussia as propaganda of peace and
amity between the people of England
and his own countrymen Is unim-
peachable. but he does not always
show tact as an apostle of peace. A
case in point was his appeal to the
East Asiastfc Society en- Sunday, after
calling all Germans to reciprocate the
good will which he found in England
On his last visit, to give it's support
to the plan of building an airship dock
at Hamburg and making that city the
first port of departure for oversee air
ship travel. There is no German en-
terprise that excites more concern and
suspicion in the breast of the average
Englishman than the development of
the dirigible balloon. The same news
papers in London that printed a sy-
nopsis of Prince Henry's speech in
which he said he could count on the
friendliness OF German naval officers
for the English government and peo-
pie, but found the merchants sus-
picious and hostile, also printed a
description oe a great airship designed
by Anton Border, the engineer, which
is to have a speed Of Is miles an hour
launched this spring, it is predicted
that the monster, driven by five
motors developing 4so horsepower, will
actually Conquer the air. and fly
easily and swiftly over seas
1t was breath wasted for Prince
Henry to assure Germans that Great
Britain offered them "aE honorable
and sincere friendship" and that the
idea of aggressive action was absent
from the minds of British statesmen,
if Englishmen were to learn that he
was promoting" an airship dock at
Hamburg for the departure to other
lands of the creations of Zeppelin and
Border. In the London papers Prince
Henry's appeal for common sense and
concord will make the usual impress
sion of official good form, but all Eng
land will talk about Hamburg as an
airship port and the claims for the
new leviathan of the clouds, with it's
capacity for carrying soldiers and ex-
plosives. Owing to the activity of the
admiralty in new construction the
British people are beginning to laugh
at their fears of German naval rival
ry, but German superiority in airships
has taken its place as a nightmare.
British statesmen will be wise to en-
courage inventors and aernouts with
promises of Lrizes and subsidies, in
the hope that the jingoes will be ST.
fenced by the early appearance of a
marvellous fleet of the air flying the
British flag and prepared to repel in
vaders.-New York Sun.

Graft is a word comparatively new
in our language; but the thing it stands
for is as old as government itself and
as protean as Proteus himself, says
Current Literature for May. Its latest
manifestations in Pdttsburg and AL
bany, following so closely upon those
ir San Francisco, st. Louis and Phila-
delphia, have been giving a bad odor
to the atmosphere of the country and
causing expressions of deep but by no
means hopeless disgust in many quar-
tiers. "It is sufficient to say that they
have caused every honest citizen to
tingle with shame and Indignation
says Governor Hughes. speaking of the
revelations in the capital of the En-
pire State. And n distinguished citi-
son of P5ttsburg, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie,
with tears running down his cheeks, it
is reported said of the revelations in

have been Inundated and I am sore
at heart But the citizens of other
states need not feel SNUG about these
disclosures, says Samuel G. Blythe, for
many years a newspaper correspond
emit in state capitals and in the ma
the New York state legislature" he
goes on to remark in the Saturday Ev-
ening Post, during the past II years,
while the Republicans have been in
power, has happened, or is happening,
in every other state legislature in the
country. Legislative graft is as old as
legislatures. The same methods are
employed and the same results obtain
ed. Broadly speaking, the graft is di-
vided into two forms. The first is the
introduction of strike bills and the
taking OF money to kill them. The sec
ond is the taking of money to pass
bills that individuals, corporations or
combinations are interested in-bills
that will work to the financial profit of
those interested. There isn't a state
CAPITAL in the United States where
these industries do not flourish and have
not fiourished for years"
