FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, NEW PASTOR OF CHRIST CHURCH IN ALAMEDA to the classification of the causes, for it might well be that much of what was attributed to incompetence was due to the kind of incompetence that attends in- experience, and many failures attributed to a lack of capital might have been rightly set down as specu- lative ventures. That, however, is a minor criticism. The essential point is that a careful review of the rec- ord of the past year has led an expert student of 1903.

It will be perceived that if the estimates are ap- | proximately correct we shall have to revise some of our popular judgments of American life. We have been accustomed to look upon ourselves as extrava- {gant and speculative, fond of living beyond our means and much given to secking fortunes at the stock exchange. The estimates show that such fail- ings are by no means characteristic of the life of our men of business. Neither are we, as has been as- sumed, a race hurried into ruin by excessive compe- tition, nor yet a race of men who neglect business for politics, pleasure or dissipation. Competition ap- pears to have caused the failure of very few pcople when the number of those engaged in it is taken into consideration, and the prevailing tendency to de- nounce the competitive system is not justified by the facts. Our weakness lies in undertaking more than we have the ability or the capital to perform. In the language of the time, “we bite off more than we can chaw.” The man who is competent to run a small store starts out to run a big one. The man who has capital enough to buy a gangplank insists on buying an ocean steamer. The result is disaster. 1 Of course a good deal of objection might be made | The Oakland health office was quarantined the other day because of an incident which could not pos sibly have had serious consequences. It is strange that we did not think of the same scheme of protec- tion when our entire Health Board was a menace to the community. The Montana legislator who wants to endow re- ‘cently born triplets with $3000 as an incentive to the industry represented by the youngsters seems to be seriously misplaced in life. He ought to be in the neighborhood of some home for the feeble-minded, Senator Morgan says he is not trying to hold up the Panama treaty, but is seeking to delay its ratifica- tion until everybody has had time to study it. The distinction is very delicate, but just the same the ef- fect is exactly like that of a holdup. American arms have won another magnificent tri- umph. The poor, - ignorant, savage, primitively armed people known as the Moros have succumbed to the glorious advance of American*military genius, and the eagle is screaming again.
