BANG! BANGl
BE THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.


I hate irecrackers with very mighty hate
Though in truth liked them once and couldn't wall
For the morn of all the year when at five h1teo
my head
Circus day alone getting me earlier out OF bed
The very early hours that gave forth the detonat-
ing salute - ~,
From cannon cracker meath can which really
was beaut,
Was signal for day of din with torpedo or other
cackers ~.
Or the oft remembered package of the little red
firecrackers,
Loaded canes spitdevils, and of course cap pistols
Lots of punk and other stuff by the tsttuls,-
Then when the red evening sun sank very low
Came the nightworks that you lined up in row.
Roman candles, skyrockets and starry foWer-pots
They'd swish and cracke in the air, thousand
fiery dots;
And when at length you'd shot off hundreds more
or less
The yard completely Uttered looked just one sweet
You loved firecrackers in the good old days some
how,
But now they bring a wrinkle and a furrow to
your brow
Is something wrong with us that we find our spirits
And thoughts today of hrecrackers is nothing but
pain?

half of last year than this year.

Whence has come the energy
which has enabled 1t to check the
four-year decline from 1880 to
1898 and to rise into its present
range Why has it declined these
last six months? And what will
send it up again?
If you credit the statements of
many observers, you will imagine
is controlled by certain events or.
forces. To be specific, one group
will tell you that business has de-
clined because of the infiationary
scare precipitated by the Patman
bill. Yet when the Thomas infia-
tionary threat in 1893 visited us,
the result was little boom. Still
another set say it is to be attrib-
uted to the long session of Con-.
gress filled with Frightening bills
and the stubborn persistence of
the Senate in It's endless discussion
without action. Yet when business
was rising from November, 1888,
to June, 1884, Congress was in ses-
sion and the Senate was talking
quite as volubly, and the bills
were supposed to be even more
disturbing.
The most persistent criticism is
that the Federal Reserve Bank
Bill, the Utilities Holding Com
rany Bill and the sensational end
ing of MIRA has produced a par
alyzing uncertainty in business.
Last year they said the Stock Ex-
change Bill, the Securities Act and
the gold policy were doing the
same thing. Yet all these things
have not paralyzed the automo-
bile business, which has attended
to it's knitting and gone ahead
making cars.
Credibility
OF Fears Secuted
I do not think there is any truth
in any of these alarms. AS for
MIRA, business did not start up
until May, after the MIRA act had
been declared unconstitutional,
though I do not think that had
anything to do with the little un-
seasonal business squirt. AS for
the Banking Act and the Utilities
Holding Company Bill, I feel quite
sure that If any certainty has re-
suited from these it proceeds from
| the frantic alarmist campaigns
carried on by banks and utilities.
One of the most foolish and, at
the same time, disturbing practices
adopted by business itself these
\ last two years has been the wild,
| hoiSterous cries of disaster IL has
raised every time any proposal has
been made for dealing with our
national problems. We we're told,
21 years ago, that the Federal Re-
serve Act would destroy the banks.

Airline officials pointed out

The sky chief was fog bound
at the time of the crash. Pilot
Bolton was seeking an open field

headed for Kirksville, Mo-, where
there is an emergency field, but

During the afternoon, Richter
