~ privilege TO have friendly associa-
ton had a wider acquaintance
with those who have gained successes
in the field of literature or Of journal
ism or in politics between 1910 and
1850 than the late Parke Goodwin. He
was a son-in-law of William Cullen
Bryant. and his associations with that
poet was intimate. He was one of the
editors of the original Putman's Maya
zine, George William Curtis being the
other. He was a lecturer in the
day when the lecture platform was an
American institution of wide popular
ity. He was an intimate friend of
Thackeray, and it was in the editorial
Offices of Putman's Magazine that
made himself at home when
upon his second visit to the United
States. Mr.. Goodwin was also upon
pleasant terms with Charles Dickens,
and was@one of the few whose happy
fortune II was to be present at the two
dinners given to Dickens-one upon his
first visit to the United States and the
other upon his last visit-where the
English novelist met a distinguished

The philosophic Mr.. Taft, whose
equaninlity before and after as well as
during his stay in the White House
was significant characteristic, must
have been put to it in Philadelphia to
maintain his composure-as he did
when he saw souvenir vendor offer
pins bearing his portrait for 10 cents.
Mr.. Taft remarked that less than a
year ago they would have brought 50
cents. But he smiled the Taft smile,
and though he did not take advantage
of the bargain, he seemed in no wise

Good Times Ahoyl

Within ninety days the Pittsburgh
steel mills will be running at full ca
pacity, is the optimistic prediction Of
H. P. Bope, vice president and sales
manager OF the Carnegie Steel Com
pany in the Smoky City. His prophecy
is corroborated by other steel men who
assert that within the three months
time sustained prosperity" will be a
fact.
Col. Bope's cheering statement was
the direct result of the receipt of or
ders of more than 100000 tons of steel
by the mills in the Pittsburgh district.
Fifteen thousand work1men at least will
be affected favorably by the new bust
ness. How many thousand other per-
sons will be indirectly affected by the
return of industrial activities it is diff
cult to estimate The sum total of
the good news is a denial of the mo-
rose despair of the calamity howlers,
and an echo of the encouragement
which has emanated from the White
House.
General good times are forecasted by
these experts in predicting financial
weather. The psychological moment
for the resumption of full activity in
all lines of commerce would seem to
have approached even while the Glooms
were but stubbornly falling back be-
fore the victorious Joys. A great vol
ume of trade in steel carries as
a proportionate briskness in
all lines of production and exchange.
From farm to factory, from mine to
bank, from forest to Office, prosperity
seems almost already to have extended
a spirit of confidence and hopefulness.
The people of the United States need
little else than that spirit. They have
The industry. they have the intelligence,
they have the opportunity, to lead the
world in prosperity. They need only to
remember constantly that they can lead
and that they must lead.
