Most o* Our Troubles Ifever Happen.^ la the panic of 1907 a resolute" 9 gentleman connected with a large J city bank labored long and earnest- < ly with the head of the institution to back blm up in an Experiment. It | took some time for the head of the < bank to be won over, but at last be 1 consented. Then the resolute gentleman went 1 calling. He visited persons who had 1 been clients of the bank for years 1 and who had good sound businesses 1 which wfere doing little owing to the * general gloom. < The first man he approached had 1 ' a very dark view of things. He 1 talked pessimistically and was severe in his criticism of th\e banks. I "If the banks would only loosen 1 up," he said, "we could get Into our < stride in no time, but we cannot get c money except in driblets and so we c are hobbled.'* ? "Could you use money if you had 1 liberal credit?" asked the resolute 1 man. f "Could I use money!" exclaimed 11 the merchant. "Could I use money?" ? "Well, you can hare $200,000 f from us right now," declared the res- f olute man. "Do you mean that? Do you real- 8 ly mean what you say?" demand- r ed the merchant. "I do." a "I hardly can belUepre It," declared jc the merchant. "I think I'll go down n to the bank and see the boss." 6 The resolute man went from busi- * ness house to business house as he r had listed the persons he was to 11 He says that only one man took 0 immediate advantage of the offer * made to him. The others really did not need money in volume at that 5 moment and couldn't use It to ad- vantage if they had it, but their 1 whole view of conditions was chang- * ed at once by the fact that they could " money If they required it. Before the resolute man got 1 around to the twenty-first person on bis list there was a pronounced c change cf 'tusuess set tment in s town. The neri of what the big bank was doing wasn't tellc?td at first. ?.ut when rnritmea not only eba?n?<* some pervor.t at ?n:e from , pokvclsm to optimism, bnt 1?1 ?>th?r banks to 1* ?ba* the big hank bad done. "Most of our troubles are mental," says tbe resolute man, In telling of . that 1907 episode. "We've brooded g so much ovfer things that we are ^ in a blue funk. We've lost all sense ^ of proportion. The world la In a dif- t ferent state today from what it was g in 1907, of course, but we are mak- e lug conditions worse by thinking they are worse. We'll make a lot of headway If we only ehange our lew point." o Why Do People Die? T No scientist, living or dead, haa ? been able to explain why any per- p son should die, except by acoident or violence. They can &e no reason for 1 it, except that "it is appointed to ' very man once to die." ocivuiioia ua T3 uiowTcicu luai from the moment a baby is born, the & forces of life and of destruction be- D gin to fight in the cells of the brain f" and body. Until maturity, the cells i~? multiply rapidly and thus growth is ^ accomplished. But even during this growing period, the germs of decay e are busily at work. It also has been discovered by scientists that cleanliness and sanitary living conditions prolong individual and community life. This is not theory, but logical and sensible reasoning, dfemonstrated in practice, It should be generally understood by every man, woman and child. A few immaculate homes in a fine residence district will not safeguard even that neighborhood from an epidemic. Smallpox may originate in an unsanitary home miles away, and sweeep the city. A polluted water supply, or a stagnant pool in a vacant Ilot, may become the source of a typhoid epidemic. Dust, dirt and filth breed distease. Disease hastens decay and death. Let's banish these enemies of good health and long life. Let's work together for a eleaner and more sani tary city. This is the greatest and most Important cooperative effort that we can make for reducing our Mortality rate. There can be nothing finer than ' the community spirit which demands that we clean up, paint up, and keep r 14 ?? ? o OOTTOlf REDUCTION I ESTIMATES CITED i.

Prices Nearer Together. There was a greater stabilisation in the price of raw cotton during the month, according to the report and the price of gray goods, after declinng 6 1-4 cents a yard, advanced illghtly. "Nevertheless, the New Engand district reports that at present ?rlces the spread between a pound it cloth and a pound of raw cotton Is >nly 22 1-2 cents, whereas a year ago t was approximately a dollar," it ays .

In the Atlanta disrict a number of reporting mills how an increase in yardage of 4.5 er cent over February, although bdre was a decrease of 22.1 per cent a compared with a year ago. The inrease in orders on hand during the lonth was negligible, but much greatr than a year ago when new orders rere not acceptable because of the ress of work. It is said that few mills are as yet working at full day apacity, although a number indicate irders on hand which will require ull running time for several weeks or their completion. The increase in arn output by pounds of reporting ain mills was 8 per cent during the nonth, although totals were 26.2 per ent below that month z. year ago. There has been a recent Increase in export sales of cotton goods amountng to between 10,000 and 12.000 tales and consisting principally of Irills and sheeting to China, India ind the Levant. o FINANCIAL DOMINATION forkville Enquirer. In the current issue of Commerce ind Finance there is quite a shrewd irticle by Theodore H. Price, intended as a defense of the group of Wall Itreet financiers recently charged by Senator LaFollette as having conspirsJ together in the bringing about the rorld-deflatlon of wages and prices hrough whieh we are now passing. Senator LaFollette's speech was basd largely upon diagrams and arguments furnished by W. Jett Laueh, conomist of the Brotherhood of Railray Engineers, which speeches and rguments undertook to show that ne Danics, the railroads and th? raiload equipment companies of this ountry, along with the big steel cororation and other leading industries rc completely dominated by not exeeding twenty-fire men, through inirlocklng directorates.

Tbls is the reduction and absurdum of Mr. Lauck's arraignment, developed at some length lest his allegations uncontroverted might mislead the public who are always willing to believe the worst of Wall Street. We have lived on or near that nefarious thoroughfare for thirty-five years and know that our neighbors are nelthet mom nor less selfish than their countrymen elsewhere. In every little town and every city in the country. in every church and in the management of every chartiable organisation there is some one man or group of men that leads and dominates. Amongst women in every grade of life there are social leaders whose authority is generally recognised. In schools and colleges there is always some boy or girl whose right to the leadership of the scholastic group is conceded and whose decisions are respected. This is fundamental in human nature. In the days of prehistoric man the tribe had its chief and from then on every group has either tacitly or affirmatively selected and obeyed some one in whose leadership it had confidence. Aa the duties of leadership multiply lieutenants become necessary and so It results that In finance as in ev- 1 ery other field of human activity there are men and women who become associated together In -he direction of the forces that must be intelligently directed if society is to survive. It cannot be otherwise unless the eugenlsts manage to contrive that the mental endowment of human being shall be identical and that brainB as w<ell as wealth Bhall be equally distributed. Quite an ingenious argument that Mr. Price makes; but not at all conclusive. In their presentation of the case, for instance, Mr. Lauck and Senator LaFollette give the nameB of the men they charge with having manipulated the whole business, not only the original expansion, but the subsequent deflation, and while there is no question of the fact that many millionaires have been bankrupted, Mr. Price rlnftn nn( ohnnr tVia* ? >- ? ?? ..wv wuvtt Vitaifc auj VI VIIV UiCU particularly named have been hurt. If there was anything criminal in the stupendous operation complained of, it was in the expansion rather than in the contraction, and if the whole thing was really a conspiracy, It is pretty safe to assume that the parties who were on the inside managtod to take care of thmselves.
