It is true that the lure of the market has lost its charm and the Wall st. game has very few playeis from the customers’ side of the counter, but it is also true that the real business of the country was never more prosperous. The surplus in the treasury tells the story. Only when the country is quite prosperous do the people \ cannot compel a citizen to wear buy luxuries. Government an imported suit of clothes or smoke fine cigars, Because large numbers of people have surplus wealth to spend the money box at Washington is full In round numbers, the receipts of the public treasury the past year were $70,000,000 more than the preceding year This increase, of course, was from the only two great sources the government has-—customs and internal revenue. The financial history receipts shows that customs of And, from this source and from of the country receipts always go down with a shrinkage incomes on the other hand, internal revenues There ing. It is a single entry proposition cash book account. If the eash book much faster than on the debit side there is a surplus ;} otherwise there is a deficit When a deficit gets large, government does as the indi vidual in business does borrowing now. ed that he is redeeming high interest rate bonds with 2 cent securities. And even these low & premium, What does the surplus and the refunding mean? It means that it is scarcely possible that a panic she ould | come upon us like a thief in the night. There is nothing shoddy, | nothing that will give way on sudden stress dang ger] of panics is in speculation, and there is no speculation to speak of. The vig of business. If a slump should come it must be slow in coming. But| fair crops, increased bank clearances, la-ge export balances, in creased savings banks deposits—all these signs point signifi cantly in another direction. There are no evidences on the a large increase (also luxury revenues) spells prosperity is nothing mysterious about government bookkeep a simple debit and credit money goes on the credit side of the It borrows. The government is not On the contrary, the treasurer is so full-hand per tate bonds command The volume commercial transactions is real} urface of any depression Building improvements are very active throughout the country and labor is in strong demand. The iron industry flourishes In short, there is nothing in sight—save it may be the tradi tionaPiceling that a presidential year must slow up business activity—to put a stop to the tremendously high tide of Ameri can prosperity, Railroad earnings are good. PETER M'QUEEN, WHO WANTS A KING Peter McQueen, who would irnmortalize Ottumwa, Ia., by living there, says America needs a king, and suggests Theodore Roosevelt. | “What do I want to vote for any governor or senator or anyone clse for?” he says. “It does me no good. If a man! wants to be senator, he pays his price and he is senator. !) have to pay just as much railroad fare if one man or enather| is in. Americans rave over conditions in other countries, but | there is no country in the wogld that grinds the worki and worships wealth any more. ['d rather be Re in any country the world than in my own. I tell you, what | the American people need is a king. Roosevelt should be king.” +2 O18 0.8 masses | | in Nobody takes P. McQueen seriously. But suppose he doesn’t care to vote, suppose it is true that | &@ man pays his price and is senator, suppose it has to be! acknowledged that this country grinds the working classes and | worships wealth, a hundred thousand other men just like him who are poor enough citizens to sneer at such conditions sit howling in the corner | like spoiled and petulant children { Whose fault is it except their own? | If things were a thousand times as bad as they are, if all patriotism and citizenship were Suppose there are as many as and then as insincere as the conscience if self-government were as m a fail- | ure as P. McQueen declares, who would have been the men | that made it so? You and McQueen. The measure of the soundness of a republican governme nt | is the measure of its peop! erable As long as McQueen and his kind are nothng about the ballot, that long the candidate for sen ator will keep on paying his price and being senator. As long | as McQueen and his kind are willing to dodge civic duty, to | whine, “We are only poor little kindergarten children; some | body please come and 5," just that lon it might be very much better to put a king over them, or, better still, a primary grade teacher In the at least one more citizen is discovering that this is his gov wash ¢ faces for u meantime, it is pleasant to believe that every year ernment, so that if McQueen lives a hundred thousand years or so he may eventually see that he is the only one left who is not using that which a number of men considered worth | dying for a wees many years ago pati o PW.
