Bandmaster Sousa took up years

Bandmaster Sousa took up years ago the trying task of being a success sor in popularity to aPtrick Sarsf1eld Gilmore. How far he has succeeded was made manifest on Saturday, when bands, orchestras and great organs from coast to coast poured out his march music in recognition of his six ty-first birthday. Schools of music may come and may go, ragtime with the rest, but all the world will con- 'inue to love a stirring number in two- four time-New York World.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

Mr.. brigham, whose Washington
hints in the Boston Transcript arc
usually well taken, is confident that
nothing is further from the prcsi-
dents mind than calling congress in
extra session.
The president is pictured as sufli-
cient in his own mind to the needs
of the situation, and as more than
unwilling to be embarrassed by a talk
ing congress when nobody knows what
sort OF prairie fire might be started
by a very small spark Of indiscreet
speech.
The news will come to the country
at large with reinsurance, for nothing
could be less desired just now than Il
lot of fiery congressional oratory,
when so many candidates. for so
many Offices are in the sproutinS. and
when by no possible stretch of the

ton. Every producer OF raw material
who supplies the manufacturer has
sense enough to know that the manu-.

demands for his products for export
to Europe, or is due to that increased
price which the farmer got for his
wheat.
When Secretary Rcdiield asserted
that his party had brought the coun-

terrible commercial shock which that
party lad brought upon this country,
he not only threw down the gauntlet
to the republican party, but challenged

citizen and invited Il discussion of
the accuracy Of his statement. Willie
some democrats would now like to
avoid the discussion Of economic prob

PROSPERITY NOT IN SIGHT.

Washington, June although the
people of the United States, regard
less of political utilization, manifest a
willingness to stand by the president
in any aggressive action for protection
of American interests and for main
tenance of national honor in foreign
affairs, there is everywhere evident a
determination not to let matters Of
this kind cloud or permanently dis
place the discussion of economic prob
lens.
Democratic leaders realize that the
people will not abandon domestic is
sues because OF temporary foreign
problems. Secretary of Commerce
Redticld recognized this when he de-
clared at indianapolis that the demo-
cratic party had brought the country
through the most terrible commercial
shock in its history and landed her
safe and strong upon the peaceful
shores of prosperity and influence"
His declaration is taken as throw
ing down of the gauntlet to the re-
publican party and challenge upon
that issue. His remark necessarily di
reefs attention to the great CONNER
cial shock which this country suffered
: Immediately after the election OF
Grover Cleveland in 1892. He prac-
tically declared that the commercial
shock which this country suffered i'm
mediately after the election of Wood
row Wilson is a more terrible shock
than that which was suffered after
the election of Grover Cleveland.
While this comparison is one which it
is needless to discuss so far as the iii
tensity OF the shock is concerned, most
business men reason that there is such
close similarity that even democrat
could not avoid discussing the two
catastrophcs in connection with each
other.
But issue will be taken with Sccrc
taPy Redfield's assumption that the
democratic party has landed the
peaceful shores of prosperity" Bust
ness men know that whatever degree
of prosperity has been regained sub
sequent to the terrible commercial
shock to which Mr.. Redfeld refers,
has been Que to the enormous de-
mands for American products created
by the war in Europe. Every Amer
lean farmer who sold his wheat last
fall and winter for anywhere from
$1.25 to $1.50 per bushel knows exact
ly why he got the increased price.
There is no American farmer stupid
enough to be misled into the belief
that it was the democratic party that
brought him this portion of prosperity.
Every country merchant who sells
goods to the farmer knows when the |
farmer pays his bill he is paying it |

its agents were given free access to
all books and papers and such expert

For while these price levels were

between representatives OF all the steel

procedure was seriously questioned it
was abandoned.
Industrially, the steel corporation
has pursued an enlightened policy. 1t
has offered its employees inducements

plans for shortening hours, preventing
accidents and otherwise tightening
the burden OF labor. 1t is working
