M'ADOO HAS FOUND 1T.

That the old order changeth giving place to
ing when the news dispatches carried an inter
view with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
in which he defed the power Of the special money
interests of the country and fatty charged them
with a conspiracy to defeat legislation which
they do not want
broadside such as that fired by Secretary
McAdoo must have been totally unexpected by
the sinister forces In Wall Street 1t was most
unusual performance-~th OF our secretary of
the treasury. and which former treasury
or other government officials would not have
thought OF. 1t was a ringing declaration OF in
dependence OF financial misrue. a bold notifica-
ton of the severng of the partnership between
the government and the special interests II
was surprising to those forces which have not
believed that President Wilson meant what be
said when he declared that the government and
special interests must be divorced from unholy
Wedlock and that those who dared to create a
panic for their own selfish purposes would be
hung upon a gibbet of shame, but to many
OF us the only surprising feature was its neces-
sity. We cannot understand why men who have
been warned that manipulation of the stock
market to brighten the government would not
be tolerated should not have known that the
government which gave the warning could not be
frightened. If they were possessed of a cynical
unbelief in the sincerity of that government they
will now change their views.
Not so many years ago Wall Street could have
done this thing and, in the expressive parlance
of the street, would have been able "to get away
with it, It could have depressed artifcially
the value OF the government two per cents and
of the treasury would hurriedly have
called into conference the conspirators and
asked~tne price Of restoration TO par The black
mailers would have named their price, COM
plant and much frightened secretary would
have conferred with house and senate leaders
and impressed them with the necessity OF de-
ference to the wishes of the Wall Street cotere
which had brought about the decline In the mar
ket quotation on two per cents. The upshot of
the affair would have been the amendment In
of the banking and currency bill ac-
corting to the rtews -uf the financial interests
and the country would have been RECALLED with
accounts OF the great work done for the nation
by the kings of finance who averted threatened
panic.
II Is different now. Threats have lost their
potency and secret conferences with the crea-
tors OF the artificial panics are not held. In
fact, the artificial panic ia destroyed In the
making by bold. frank statement to the poo
pie. The present secretary OF treasury appeals
to the country not to allow panic to be created,
whereas other secretaries and administrations
appealed to the creators not carry their threats

example our women would be sorry to follow.
Count CASTOR de Pergny, recently visitor in
this country asserts that the women who wear
certain type OF gowns and think they are
following the Paris fashions are in error. Says
he, They are simply using vulgar and mmod-
styles designed for Of sort they
have not the slightest desire to initiate. The
fashy class and possibly few shop girls may
wear on the streets of Paris such dresses as
one sees everywhere here, but nice women
do not and would not wear them"
We will say We cannot In propriety.
We would suggest, however. that IL girls will
not dress more decently. their fathers and
mothers should make them.
