FRIDAY. APRIL 9. 1897

FRIDAY, APRlb y, 1870
According to astrology this should
be a fortunate day to men and wo-
men who have faith in themselves
as well as in their stars. While
Jupiter smiles adverse influences
are active.
The morning is fairly promising
| for those who seek employment or
engage in any sort of promotion
work. The stars indicate delays that
will end fortunately.
Labor continues under sinister
direction of the stars which are
read as encouraging unwise poll
cies. The seers declare that
the golden rule should be employed
4, in measuring human relations.
Great activity in real estate in
many parts of the country is prog
nosticated. Speculation should be
avoided but homecoming is under
favorable sway.
War clouds are to be ominous and
peace movements numerous through
this month and next For this rea-
son astrologers counsel caution in
financial matters.
Occulists stress the power OF
prayer in protecting the United
States from world war. Those with
far vision warn that evil portents
are many.
This is a lucky day for men who
lead by mental domination. Edu-
Gators, wyers, clergymen and
statesmen are under good planetary
guidance.
Anxiety over national revenues
now will vex many nations. The
United States will confront supreme
demands for gigantic OUTLAWS for
the well-being of the people and
their protection from foreign foes.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of fortunate
financial transactions. r war d S
from past investments and work
are prophesied for many.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be mentally and physical
ly courageous to the point of reck-
lessness Subjects of this sign are
fond of leadership and many seek
public service.

STEPPING ON THE BOOM BRAKE

sharp move downward was reported in the
stock market yesterday rumors spread that the
government contemplated a cut in the gold price as
a means toward curbng boom tendencies Whether
such check will be used has not been ascertained
but for than year offciadom has been keep
ing its to the ground and taking steps from
time to time with the intention of checking wild
boom period like 1929 which might lead to another
financial disaster.
The first move early in 1886. an increase
in stock market margin requirements. The next was
the extension of margin restrictions to banks well
brokers' and this coupled with further increase
in margin requirements making minimum OF SO
per apply to all stocks Concurrently with these
there a steady flow of officially inspired
public discussion leading in midsummer to 90
per cent increase in the requirements OF
member banks of the Federal Reserve
Beginning again last November, new flow of
discussion prepared the way for second increase in
requirements to take effect in two nstalments
half on March l and half May l. Other steps
included the gold-sterzaton plan put into effect in
December and the talk of taking measures to bar
hot money" from the country
Elliott " Bell financial expert of the New York
Times, comments that all these moves had but one
purpose-to reduce the existing basis for credit
pansion
In effect" says Mr. Bell they were partial
reversal of the devauation which had greatly en-
larged the credit base None of them, however. save
possibly the increase in stock margins actually
restrictive. They reduced the potentaites of infla
ton somewhat, but did not go beyond that 1t was
as though foot had been pressed upon the brake
pedal only enough to take up the free play"
In this connection Mariner S. Eccles, chairman
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System has come out and declared that government
spending of borrowed money must stop. He said that
tirement of public debt by the government in relation
ship to the expansion of private credit" In other
words, business, swinging into the full tide OF
recovery reaches for bank credit, government
must draw backward, step for STEP eXtingushing the
credit it has created rapidly business expands
credit. Thus the supply of money would continue
unchanged.
Mr. Bell commenting on this deduction, has this
to say:
program of monetary management is approaching the
test which hostile critics have declared no poitca
leaders be brave enough to meet the test OF
courage and judgment enough to check boom"
While they only rumors at this time about
cutting the gold price, it appears definite that the
government is planning to step harder and harder
on the brake in effort foresta anything which
might lead to another ultra boom period.

Food For Thought
Cincinnati Enuuirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
Oscar of the Waldorf, whose position enables him
to speak with authority says that all great men
are plain eaters. The statement gains additional en-
phasis from the fact that Oscar who revels in the
preparation of fancy Dishes undoubtedly would like
to see it otherwise.
The matter is an excellent subject for controversy,
especially one revolving around the point whether
great great because they plain eaters or
whether they plain eaters because they great
The latter would truer because it is eStab-
lished fact that all plain not great men,.
Why, then, would men necessarily be plain eaters
because they CREATE 1t could only be because their
mind is other matters than food Little mental
concentration is needed to sit down and eat roast beef
and mashed potatoes and the great consequently
can keep his mind more important problems than
it. for instance, he called upon to cope with an
array of what Keats called Spiced dainties from sken
Samarcand to cedar'd Lebanon"
Fancy eating. like the game of bridge, requires
concentration to be enjoyed Thus it might be
soned that if a with all of the attributes of
greatness took time out to give much attention to
food he would not have sufficient time left in which to
attain greatness. The fancy eater however, is not
barred from all forms of greatness. Even Oscar of
the Waldorf must admit that such man might quail
fly a great eater

A MATTER OF ADJUSTMENT

The large number of strikes of recent months
throughout the country has drawn columns of COM
ment on the ultimate result Some see especially in
the Shutdown strikes. open revolution Others are OF
the theory that it is only what might be termed a
passing fad The psychology of success by one group
spreading to other groups
But it is a significant fact that in virtually all
strike troubles agreements reached Just yester-
day came word settlement of the nationally noted
in the automobile industry and kindred indus
tries have settled after the usual flare of stub
bornness on both sides.
This would seem to indicate that those who talk
revolution and their colleagues who speak of pass
ing fad are neither correct. Rather, the deduction
distance would be that the nations industrial strife
is more matter of adjustment.
1t can not be forgotten that wages were slashed
severely and in many instances discontinued al
together when we went through the depression. When
business began the upward trek recovery returned
wages naturally were among the last things to move
back toward their former level Business recovery is
now conceded to be almost complete At least, most
of it is back to what we term normal years. But
wages have been slower in moving up with the re-
sutant differences between employers and employees
Evidence that it is mostly matter OF adjustment
appears abundant the strike settlements that are
being reported in every of major labor differ
ences If it was than that agreements would
not be reached.
