The British ambassador, speaking
before the Pan-American convention
of women last Friday, made the states
ment that the world is deep in misery.
1t is probably true, especially in SO
far as several of the European coun-
tries are concerned. 1t is barely pos
sible, however, that this misery ak
is o%verdone. We know that there are
millions of people who must have
help, in order hat life may be kept
in their bodies and America should
and is doing much for their aid. The
helpless and needy should never be
overlooked. There is another class
in Europe, however, we believe, that
could we'll provide for themselves if
they would get to work. Some of the
European nations evidently ook upon
America as a real Santa Claus, able
to give without limit and with no
other responsibilities tina caring for
people of other countries. Help should
be given freely where needed, but
sometimes the matter of receiving help
becomes a habit.

There is danger, in our resentment
against the high tax levy and in our
desire to cut down somewhere on pub
lie expenditures, that we ma cut at
the wrong point, to the detriment of
the coming generation. At Occur d.
Alene, the other day, a bono election
was held to authorize the bonding
of the school district for 100000 to
improve the school plant so that the
congested condition in the schools
might be relieved. The bonds were
defeated. This was the second school
bond election to fail in the district
within the past few months. Those
interested in the schools are depress-
ed over the proposition and feel that
the city is being injured. The Daily
Press states that it will be necessary
to inform prospective residents of the
city that they must take the chance
of their children not being permit
ted to enjoy school facilities.

The Nations Business gives a pic
ture of the year 1898: Nearly 600
banks in the United States suspend
de payment, there were $4,000 COM
mecial bankruptcies. Greece was in
the abyss of insolvency. Italy was on
the brink. In Russia, famine, pesti-
lence prevailed, in Australia nearly
every bank Of consequence had closed
its doors. American farmers were so
hard pressed that they could hardly
conditions in 1898 as revealed in the
newspapers, magazines of that time.
Looking back on them, the period
which the world is now emerg-
ing does not seem SO gloomy after

1t is said that Is, 900 have already
booked passage at New York for
Europe to see the Passion Play at
Oberammergau. There will be many
others go from America to see the
production, and these will
form but a small part of the persons
from America who will tour Europe
during the season. This is surely
our European brothers, as
upon millions of dollars OF
good American money will be spent
in Europe during the season by Am
erican tourists. America is the only
country on earth rich enough to do
this travelling stunt, too, by the way.
