this afternoon decided after the Dem

was done upon motion of Senator Nc

HEROIC DEATHS
REVIVE SPIRIT
OF OLD ENGLAND

London. Feb. 1i-Out of the pail of
the gloom that settled over the Brit
ish nation with the news of the heroic
deaths of Captain Scott and his four
companions in the stark and sullen
seculdes of the south. there arose. to-
day the spirit of Old England reJu-
venated- No deed of herOism or h1gh
enterprfse in modern days has done so
much TO stir the sluggish veins of pa
triotisn in this comp1acent land.
Those last magnificent words of the
great explorer, scrfD bled with half

Of every crowd before the bulletin
boards one cannot miss the glow of
pride and the almost involuntary
strengthening of the shoulders that
comes to each casual citizen as he
reads Scottis final message to his
countrymen-
Il do not regret this journey which
has shown that EngliShmen can en-
dure hardships, help one another and
meet death with as great a fortitude
as ever in the past
These words of Scott's aroused the
ancient fighting spirit of the Anglo
Saxon as has nothing else of recent
years Everywhere one goes in Lon

The great facts that stand out
from the story of Scott's and his COM
panions' death are those that show
qualities in the men far finer than
mere physical courage. 1t is not the
mere knowledge that this little &band
Of five was overwh eImed in the furies
Of an Antarctic storm that has so
awakened the patriotic spirit of the
English.
1t is the splendid indifference to
physical suffering that all five of

Our troubles, due merely to over.
trading. were caused by an extraordi-
nary expansion Of commerce throughout
the world during the last few years.
At present securities are being liquidated
almost to a standstill. but there is nc
real depreciation In their value. I be-
lieve there Is a vast quantity of money
lying idle In New York awaiting invest
ment. and all we need is a general res
toration of trade to make our markets
better than ever.
IT know there are quite a number of
stocks that look good to me at present
values. I mean to get hold Of a few as
soon as I return. I don't believe this
moderate tariff will injure any one in
the slightest. but will rather tend to in
duce a genuine rush OF trade through
