NEW YORK, April 3.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review

change in the conditions governing
the speculative market over the Sur
day and business continued highly
professional on the resumption Of
dealings in Wall street today. The
Mexican news, however, was not up
to Saturdays expectations, in-as-mu UGH

the like advanced sharply.
There was little or no enlargement
of public buyin. The submarine situa-
ton and the success of the German as
saut upon the French positions in
the vicinity of Verdun continue as
restraining influences upon the out
side interest. but speculative senti-
ment seemed more hopefully disposed
and the trading element united with
the pools in working for higher
prices.

PENALIzING THE POWER COMPANY

1t is evident from speech of people in the
crowd that there is in the present sixteen mil
ion-dollar raid on the Mississippi River Power
company disposition to penalize that corpora
ton to the limit of taxation and it is further ap
parent that this disposition arises more as re-
suit of personal feeling and prejudice than from
desire to see exact and equal justice done as
between the city Of Keokuk, the county Of Lee
and the corporation that seeks to put Keolluk in
the front rank Of prosperity.
The measure Of pre- udice and grievance Is
ever overlooking in some quarters when Big
Business is subject to attack, and there are
followers of sounding brass who invariably de-
light in manifestation Of acclaim when any cor
poraton. no matter if it be of good character
and helpful in the upbuilding Of a city, is
marked for unfair condemnation This is an
unfortunate condition Of affairs and always
leads to pickering and the placing of a stone in
the path of progress.
There is. and it is admitted by those who
abide by the letter Of the law, wide gulf sep
arating a cause Of action and fundamental jus
tice. The Mississippi River Power company ac-
cepted exemption from city taxation in good
faith. The arrangement was entered into in all
publicity. At the time Of its cOnsummatiOn
there was no effort at concealment by either
party so, why this assault upon an or
ganization, the continued prosperity of which
means much to Keokuk? Penalizing the
Mississippi River Power company, with an add
mitted financial deficit of more than 800 900, is
turning back the wheels of progress. Whoever
is behind the movement that seeks to punish,
under cover of law should at least adopt a rca-
sonabe attitude though they feel like re
pudiating the exemption agreement.

BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

Everett Z. Wheeler. Ever hear OF him! Ii
not, please make his acquaintance and thank
The Gate City for putting you wise to a man
whose spirit of optimism overflows these en-
tire United States. Everett P. is New York
lawyer, which fact should not count in his dis
favor But listen. This is what he says:
talk from halfbaked people who
say that country is failure fairly
disgusts me and makes weary ad-
NIT that have our faults, but l insist
this is the best country Of the whole
world in which live | enjoy good
if it have small hole in it.
What must be thought Of a man who not
only does not despair Of the Republic, but
thinks it the best in the world? Such optimism
has refreshing ring and will only draw dis
sent from professional prophets Of woe.
1t is fair to hear the other side that the
country has been so long and, we trust. unwil-
inglv. listening to the tales of woe set forth by
mourners at the grave of Bright Future. AS
everybody has been told by the army Of calam-
ity-howlers the country has been going to the
dogs ever since Tom Jefferson and John Han
Deck signed the Declaration Of Independence.
1t is not only a failure within, but it is threat
ened with added ruin from without. It's gov
eminent is a failure; it's railroads and indus.
tries are failures; it's educational system is a
failure: its social system has broken down,
and in its relation with other nations it has
wholly lost its sense of shame.
Somehow, in spite of all these shortcomings.
it has managed to impress impartial foreign OBJ
servers with its greatness and wonderful de-
velopment. Some unthinking citizens even feel
entirely satisfied with it. And these unthink-
ing ones may take heart from the pronounce
ment of Everett P. Wheeler, lawyer and optim
