CONFIDENCE WITH A CAPITAL c
(The New York Herald)


Panic is a state Of mind it is built

belief; it Is built upon knowledge
Such knowledge is power, and such
power when properly exercised means

The Presidents annual address 10
Congress is most inspiring. II heart
ems, it animstes, il stimulates 1t
soothes. Mr. Wilson inspires a belief
that begets confidence; 1t spells Con,
fdence with a capital G.
The most impressive thing about
the address is the note that pervades
it, and yet Is not put in words. AS we
read 1t 1t carries to the country the
information that the task of making
over the nation so far as the pocket
book of the investor is concerned is
well-night through its first stage The
tariff has been revised and there has
been no panic. The goose and the
roast beef still hang high, but an
honest effort has been made to cut
off surplus protection and enable the
consumer to buy more cheaply from
foreign competitors If the foreign
competitors will so sell. Then the
prosperous have beer made to hear
their share Of the expenses of the Gov
arrp m ont IN, tba f,,,,rsit;or af - IN
come tax. In addition to this, the cur
rency system is about to be changed
and few doubt the eventual passage
of wisely constructed measure with
the minimum of delay.
Broadly speaking, there remain only
the necessary amendments to the An
thrust law, but these are not likely
to be very radical The President will
pursue this question before Congress
and make 1t thes ubiect of a subse
quent address, but he has written
the message exactly as a trained mari
ner would navigate his ship with an
eye upon the barometer
1t is therefore to the spirit of the
message more than TO the matter that
the country may look for reinsurance
Coincidently, going to outside sources
we find those who most vehemently
melted the President in his efforts
against capital now advocating the
shortening Of sail.
We would not say the President
lis shortening sail We should say that
he is preparing to lower sail, to drop
anchor in the safe harbor at the end
of the first successful voyage.

vULTuRES OF THE MARKET,

Cold Storage Spectators Also De-
nounced as Sharks in Bill Pro-
posed by Congressman.

''Voracious vultures OF the marke.

sharks" were characterizations APP
piled to cold storage spectators
who corner pershable foodstuffs to
boost prices, by Representative Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, when he spoke
championing his bill for federal reg
ulation of the cold storage business.
Saying that his proposed legislation
was not designed to injure the cold
storage business as such, Mr.. Nc
Kellar declared:
"The drastic features of the bill
are aimed only at the corrupt and
dishonest. at the gamblers and spec
ulators. at the voracious vultures who
stand around in the market places
and reap where they have not sown
and fapten on o.her peoples food. !
do not believe any member OF this
great House win stand up for any
snch plunderbund of food sharks. Al
most every housewife in this eoun'
try is complaining at the high cost
of eggs and we find these gamblers
not only cornering the price Of eggs
and reaping unfair and unjust PROF
IFS from it, but actually laughing at
the public. My bill would put these
gamblers out of business and would
give the consumer chance"

prescribe both prison terms, and
heavy fines for violation OF its terms
would make it illegal to ship adult

comparative figures illustrating the
influence of improved roads on couu-

In twenty-five counties taken at
random in twelve states, the number
of Inhabitants from 1890 10 1900 de
creased 1888, an average decrease
of more than 5000 for each county.
The road improvement in these coun-
ties was only / $40 per cent.
In the same states twenty-five 9th

ment was 40 per cent during the
same period were chosen for com
parison. I. was found that these
had increased in population 77SSSs,
an average Of nearly $4,000 in each
county
The figures show that the counties
which have built good roads have
gained heavily in population while
those which have neglected Hhelr
highways have lost. Possibly there
