A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR.

rhoro are some shortsighted persons
,,ho nrofess to believe that the Amer
,can" milo has anything TO do with the
prosperity and growth OF Salt LaSe
City
The fact Is that tho entire country
has had a perIed of prosperity. and
Salt Lake. naturally, has had Its snare.
II was bound to come with the I'M
proyements planned under the Morrls
administration, and the money bor-
rowed at that time for water and
sewers.
The total foreign trade of the United
States for 1909 amounted TO sS.2o2, $685.
1888, of which sL727, ,3s3.12s were exports
and s1475. 52O.2 POS, imports.
Compared with 1908 calendar year
the increase in imports was $359l46. 11S,
and the decrease in exports only s25.-
1923
During the year our dutiablc imports
totaled STE. 1853. an increase over the
preceding year OF sl64.04S.407; while our
free-of- duty imports were s699, ,742 .252
in value. an increase OF sl95, 5,o9I.711.
The imports were $50. 900 greater
than in the earlier high record year.
1907. while tho exports were nearly
s200, 900. 900 less
Tho increase in imports was partic-
ularly gratifying. in that 1t developed
chiefly In manufacturers materials. to
the benefit Of American labor and
American factory profits
The decrease In exports arose chiefly
in breadstuffs 1--WE are using far more
at home). which alone fell off S57. 900. 900
from 1905; meat and dairy products
dropped also $4,000, 900. and food anil
mails sS.000000. These three decreases
together amount to $4,000 600, SO as
our net export decrease was only s25.-
100000, 1t follows that our other ex-
ports. mainly factory finished and
partly finished products, and crude
materials for manufacturing, increased
s69. .000, 900
The year was good year for busi-
ness. and Salt Lake has had it's share
though this share would have been
larger. but for the nnti-"MormonD
sentiment.

PREDICTS ANOTHER PANIC.

Professor Thomas N. Carver, or
Harvard is reported to have predicteo
another panic. due In two or three
years from now Here is what the re-
port places to his credit:
IT will stake my reputation as an
economist. that In 1912 or 1913 this
country will undergo one of the worst
panics in its history. The supply OIL
foodstuffs in this country Is becom-
ing gradually. but surely less than the
demands of the public. and to my
mind in not many years the Oniteo
States Will of necessity be obliged TO
import large quantity of Its meat
and other foodstuffs."
II would be curious to know upon
what ground the professor bases his
prediction. For the reference to the
decreasing food supply can hardly be
accepted as sn explanation Of the rea-
son why the country should be so
near another financial catastrophe.
It has been quite generally held.
among economists, that panics are
due every twenty years. The year 1881
was panic year. So was 1857. But
then the 20-year cycle was shortened
to sixteen years, and we had imam
cial depression in 1873, which has been
accounted for by the prodlgtous waste
OF capital by this country on account
of the Civil war. Tho 20-year Cycle
was again resumed after the crash OF
1873 and our next financial depression
occurred In 1893. Only fourteen years
interviewed between this panic and that
of 1907. And the question is, does the
Professor believe In the 2o-year cycle,
and that a panic, therefore. Is natural
ly duo in 1918. which would be 70
wears from 1898? Wars preceded the
nanlcs OF 1873 and 1907, Our CIVIL
war and the Franco-Prussian conflict
were destructive campaigns. Enor-
nous values were destroyed by the
Russo-J o-Japanese war. the Boer war;
and our Spanish war. Does the Pro-
fessor expect another panic-promoting
military conflict? Tho destruction OF
Chicago preceded the panic OF lS7S'
that of San Francisco went before the
of 1907. Docs the Profes-
cor expect the destruction of another
world city. or does he take the Paris
Aood as a precursor Of a worldwide
panic7 It would bo interesting to
know upon what he bases his predic-
tion

CONFERENCE POSTPONED.
WHAT SAY THE woMENe

Some OF the estimable women OF TINS
City are registering protest against
the granting of n franchise to the salt
air manaScmcnt, to run their cars up
TO Min street and we arc with them In
this. We are pleased to see the In
terest thoy arc manifesting in the
affairs of tho City. We have a City
government that needs constant watch
ing.
But would not the same ladies take
another matter in hand. too? Under tho
American" administration number
OF nests of unspeakable vice has sprung
up in the City. There Is a "stockade
that enjoys official sanction as neoes-
sary evil. Why not protest against pro
tected vice? Why not arrange for meot-
ings in which to give expression to tho
Christian sentiment? The women or
this City could engage in no moro
worthy work than a united effort for
the purification of public morals and
the protection of the youth trom the
snares and pitfalls of SIN.
We are aware that some regard the

Fresh air seems to be one of the
main factors. and the doctor says ''the

with the open window as a place for
sleeping.
Food Is another essential. Tuberou-
losis is a disease of malnutrition,
attacking the underfed. Its treatment
naturally suggests a building up of tho
lowered vitality. This can be done
only by the use OF large quantities Of
food. The food must be OF the high
est quality. plain. substantial, and
abundant, and taken from five to seven
times n day. DR.. w. A Evans, OF
Chicago. says the best OF meat, eggs.

Ing often has to be forced, as ono may

appetite II may be variable and erratic.
So important Is this matter that tho
most exact and regular habits must
be established with reference to 1t.
