BUSINESS PROSPECTS GOOD.

All OF the financial and trade ex-
perts of the country have reported
during the past week that the activity
In the general business world is not as
brisk just now as it was during a cor
responding period of last year. But
they are also agreed that there is a
better undertone and the prospects for
the immediate future are bright, and
this despite the possibility of tariff
tinkering during the special session of
congress, which is less than a month
away. Henry Clews, the New York
banker, discusses the business situation
along these lines in his current week
ly financial review as follows:
General business continues quiet
and smaller in volume than a year
ago. There is, however a perceptibly
better undertone. Some hesitation is
caused by prospects of an attempt to
revise the tariff at the special session
intended for the reciprocity bill. That
session should confine it's attention
strictly to the object for which it was
called, the passing of the Canadian re-
ciprocity bill, and any general stirring
up of tariff agitation is to be thor
oughly deprecated. Political condi-
tions, however, are unfavorabIe to any
real or radical changes at least until
after another presidential election. 1t
is understood that the wooden and cot
ton schedules will be attacked and
possibly steel during the special ses-
sion, but 1t is doubtful If any very i'm
portant changes will be effected.
There is, therefore, no reason for un-
due anxiety on account of tariff
changes. The same amount of food
and clothing and shelter will be re-
quired whether there be tariff agita-
ton or not. and such demands will
ultimately have to be satisfied. Any
postponement of contracts made on
account of the tariff will simply have
to be made up later on.
There is more or less hesitation
arising out Of the somewhat spectac-
ular Mexican situation. At this writ
ing there is no occasion for taking
alarm. Should the Mexican govern
ment show itself incapable of putting
down the insurrection. 1t may be nee
essary to call upon American forces to
restore order. Under such contin-
gencies It is pre-eminently our duty to
undertake that task. It is also our
duty to prevent aid to the instruction
from the United States. Mexico is our
near neighbor. American interests
there are very important, estimated at
billion to a billion and a half of dol
lars. Our Monroe doctrine imposes
upon US certain obligations which it is
fitting we should be prepared to carry
out, especially as foreign countries
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-03-15

might have to interfere If we did not.
1t follows that If we are unwilling to
see foreign powers protect their inter-
ests in Mexico by force. we must as
sumo that responsibility ourselves. 1t
is evident that some difficulties have
developed which are at present un-
known to the public; or our govern
ment would not have undertaken to
make such an energetic. display of
force as it has done during the past
week. In all probability this presenta-
ton of a firm front will tend to solve
the problem more promptly, If only to
stir the Mexican government itself in
to more en- srgetic methods of dealing
with the insurgents"

I'll tell you, my friend, you could
avoid a whole lot of worry if you would
manage to keep busy, writes Deacon
Walker in his Osborne Farmer. Busy
people don't have time to worry. If
you have nothing else to do, just try
minding your own business good and
hard for a few days. That is enough
to keep anybody busy. The buster you
keep yourself the less you will worry.
Incidentally, the buster you are the less
other people will worry about you. You
know there is an old saying that the
devil always finds something for idle
hands to do. Generally, too, when the
old fellow puts anybody to work it is
at something that finally gets them
into trouble. If you keep busy at hon
est labor you won't have to scratch
matches in every powder house you
happen to walk through. Neither will
you have time to pour kerosene out
of a can onto a bonfire. But if you
are idle you will run across powder
houses and bonfires at every corner.
The bad fellow puts them out as traps
for idle fellows to run into. The more
you loaf and look. the more traps you
will find. That has been the history
of every fellow who failed to keep busy
and you are no smarter than those
who have gone before.

WAsHBuRN,s CAMPUs.

Against the assertion that it is no
possible concern Of the public if the
trustees of Washburn college should
decide to despol the college property
by selling a considerable strip off the
eastern side of the beautiful campus
the fact may be set that the people Of
Topeka from time to time have been
liberal and generous in donating funds
for the support and development Of
the college. This money has been
cheerfullys given to the college to be
disposed of as it saw fit. but it GER
tainIy gives Topekans more than a
passing interest in the affairs of the
college. They consider Washburn col
Iege one of the great show places in
the city and one of its best advertise
ments. They have helped in their
small way to make it SO. And there
fore, many of them may well be par
doned for voicing protests against the
ddsmemberm Of the college prop
erty.
These protests are also coming in
volumes from the alumni of this in
stitution. Theirs is a voice that should
have some weight. The progress and
development of the college is dear to
their hearts. For many sentimental
reasons the part of the campus it is
proposed to get rid of is held in high
regard. without it Washburn would
not be the Washburn of their mem
cries They would be more than apt
to lose interest in their alma mater if
a particular portion of it where they
reveled in their pranks were cut off
and turned over to real estate men
and house builders. Nor is it possible
that a string Of back yards abutting
in rather close proximity to the col
lege buildings and the remaining cam
pus would add anything to their at
Effectiveness.
Some of the alumni have suggested
they would much prefer to canvass
their fellows for a subscription that
would equal the price that the col
lege would receive for the part of the
campus its trustees have been think
ing of selling. And If such a plan
could be brought to a head the trus-
tees should hesitate about taking
speedy action in the matter of the
sale of this section of the campus. If
Washburn is hard pressed for funds it
does seem that they could be obtained
from the wealthy people of the land
who are giving so freely of their
largesse for the development and sup
port of higher educational institu-
tons OF course, money will not be
received from such sources unless 1t
is gone after. Washburn is quite as
worthy an educational institution as
there is in the entire country. It's
field is a large one. That many peo-
pie of means would become interested
in its welfare, If the possibilities and
the needs OF the institution were pre-
sented to them there can be no doubt.
And this work does not properly be-
long to the president of the college.
1t should be carried on by fiscal
agent Of high standing who should
work under the direction of the board
of trustees
