GOOD TIMES HAVE COME

The state of New York last week
sold block Of s51,OOO,0OO long
term bonds at Z Y per cent inter-
est, and they were sold at a prem
ium. Only a year ago New York
found it impossible to sell these
same bonds, and they had to be
withdrawn. Now these bonds
have an over-subscription five
times their amount, and nothing
can prove more clearly the i'm
proved condition of the money
market.
Had money market conditions
been similar to what they we're a
year ago nobody would have TAX
en- the bonds at par. Now many
more people wanted them than
could get them, and were willing
to pay a premium for them. We
repeat that there could not be a
more positive assurance than this
of a satisfied condition of the
money market.
Truly good times have come
and they were brought about by
! Democratic administration and
a Democratic Congress. Selah.

WILSON'S BETTER WAY

President Wilson, i'm dealing
with the monopoly and trust
question, does not attempt to take
a course which he thinks public
opinion might sustain i'm the flu
ture, but he takes the safer and
saner course Of recommending
what he believes the people of the
country have already approved.
He simply notes the conclusion
the people have already reached
and shapes his policy accordingly.
Public opinion is powerful
factor in securing the enactment
and the enforcement of good and
wholesome laws, and the some
what radical measures now rec
commended by the President would
be difficult of fulfillment if pub
lie opinion did not sustain him.
But with the knowledge that pub
lie opinion sustains him big bust
ness is already tumbling over it.
self in it's haste to square itself
with the people and get back into
their good graces again.
President Wilson has been i'm
pressed. as others have been,
with the lack of publicity and in
depreciation following important
legal proceedings, and he recon-
mends an interstate commission
to meet this need. But unlike
Roosevelt he does not propose "a
commission to regulate business
as the interstate commerce COM
mission regulates the railroads, .
and thus make the government
itself responsible. The President
rightly says that the opinion OF
the country would instantly
approve of a publicity and inter-
probation committee, but it does
not wish to go farther than that.
Public opinion clearly demands
such a commission of informa-
ion and publicity as "a tclEAring
house for the facts by which both
the public mind and the managers
of great business undertakings
should be guided in pursuing a
course Of justice to business and
to the people both.
The policy of Theodore Roose-
welt, as mapped out by himself
would lead directly to government
ownership Of great industrial cor
porations as his idea of the full
fillment of popular government
The policy of Woodrow Wilson
leads directly TO the destruction
of private monopoly and the es-
Establishment of competition fol
business-competition for quail
ty and competition in prices. For
tunately for the country, Wilson's
plan has every prospect for
speedy enactment into law in
stead Of the Socialistic Roosevelt
plan.

Suicides in Cars Army.

The Razvedchik, the semi-ofilcial or
gan Of the Russian army, publishes
some startling figures about the ex.
tent OF the suicide mania among Rus.
sian troops, quoting a report recently
presented to Moscow learned society
by well-known military surgeon, Doc.
tor Prozoroff.
It appears that In 1906 no fewer
than l44 cases Of suicide occurred in
the Russian army. In the following
year the number rose to 1872. Since
then 1t steadily kept on growing, be.
Ing 210 In 1907, 242 in 1908, 263 in
1909, 2GS in 1910, 347 in 1911 and 4O5
IN 1912. Within eeven years, there
fore, the number of suicides increased
about one hundred and fifty per cent.
The figures for 1913 have not vet been
published, but, according to Doctor
Prozoroff, the first eight months of
last year showed 377 cases of suicide
ana lS9 cases of attempts at suicide.
and for 1914 the high mark continues.
Out Of the 377 cases just mentioned 72
occurred among officers.
