How far the latest increases will serve

any means. The general tariff Is in

specific raise is on matches. If our gold
supply has begun to reach the point OF
exhaustion, imports will need to be cut

this connection, the authorities might
do well to try to avoid repeated changes

Uruguayan Capital
Increasing Its Debt.
Impartial, Montevideo. 1t was
brought out at meeting in the City
Hall this morning that the municipal
debt will ascend at least to 1000 600
pesos at the termination Of the fiscal
year. (The gold peso is worth SD The
new deficit incurred during the current
year from February to December
amounted to 100000 pesos, bringing the
total obligation to $500 900 pesos, and
at this rate the remaining period will,
without any exaggeration or transposi-
ton of figures, easily bring, the final
figure in the immediate proximity Of
4,000,0 600 pesos At the conference al
luded to, one of the unofficial spec
tators asked very impertinent ques-
ton:
Just what" he inquired from his
seat in the balcony, does the Munici-
pal Council propose to do in the hope Of
solving the calamitous situation now in
volving the urban finances?"
The answer was categorical, but little
satisfactory: Absolutely nothing!"
Whether this response was made in
jest or in all seriousness matters not a
whit, for there is no doubt whatever
that the administration, far from re-
ducing the cited deficit, will do all it
can to make new one!

The Worlds Fair.

The Chicago Worlds Fair opened this
morning. theoretically it was designed
to commemorate the centenary of a
single civic community, the Lake Michi-
gan metropolis. Actually it synbolizes
a whole century of progress, universal
in scope, international In character The
eyes of the world are turned momen-
tarily to a single center where, over an
area of more than 400 acres, the scien-
tific, artistic and industrial interests
of mankind are gathered for display,
Not Chicago only is concerned, but
rather the entire civilization Of which
the city happens to be part.
1t is said that the enterprise repre-
sents an investment of more than s37,-
000, ,0c0 At first glance the sum seems
astronomical in its proportions. The
question may be asked: How can ma
tions sunk in the poverty of an unpre-
cedented economic slump spend so
much on mere spectacle? But the
answer Is obvious. The depression Is a
hideous reality, but it is less important
than the prosperity which preceded 1t
and the prosperity which, providentially,
will follow it. The earth is rich and the
far-hung human family is rich. So it
is possible to devote large capital to
such a purpose as that of the great
spectacle which now lis In evidence at

Every penny of the money, it may be
presumed, will be well spent. The fair

Regret is an emotion not so deep as
sorrow, but more sincere than remorse
The better a human being is. the more
sure is he to know regret, upon occa-
sion.
1t is of real interest because 1t is SC
common. and SO unregarded, being
smothered in the heart and mind.
Mostly We find that other persons
cannot understand our own regrets
and so we come in time to keep them
to ourselves Is 1t not so?
The sensitive man or woman has 9
hundred regrets to one OF the non
sensitive person.
Therefore, it will be well for such q
human being. at times. to consider just
what this emotion is, and what can be
made of it, If anything.
Regret. according to our dictionary
is. sorrow for the loss of person or
thing; repentance or annoyance con-
cerning q thing done-or left undone
vexation or disappointment caused by
an occurrence or situation.
Remorse is bitter repentance for a
wrong committed. According to some
definitions it does not carry true re-
pentance with it, but is sly. thinking
MOSTLY Of the loss to ones self.
Regret, therefore. is easier to under
stand as ordinarily used. 1t does not
involve any Of the religious motives
which are left for greater occasions.
Real regret comes over the inevitable
and the irretrievable.
For such regret ss Is genuine there
is but one real cure.
That is time.
How time operates in removing such
hurt is always mystery, but that il
does so operate is known to every one
1t soothes, even in the more severe dis
asters. 1t brings, not forgetfulness, but
less and less bitterness, q lifting of that
sad weight of feeling that something
is very wrong.
For the .regret Of which we speak
time does surely bring some cure, OF
what amounts to the same thing.
In such regret there is Q certain
nobleness Of spirit, and in 1t, after tht
hurt has worn down, the right thinking
man or woman may take some small
legitimate pride.
n
1t is noble to sorrow over little things
because the mistakes made are recog-
nized as being the result, in the main
of some four or five failings.
The first Of these Is ignorance.
How little we know, compared with
what may be known!
This is the Oldest cry of sincere man.

Ccnceit is the greatest ignorance OF

In every undertaking. no matter how

Lack of foresight is a second falling

Few men or women possess any true
