MUST NOT GET BIGHEAD.

There is a certain amount of dan- r from the Midas touch. About e last thing we can afford now is

get the national “big head”; to

ink that the world is at otfr feet id that we have it on the run with down-hill pull. While we have ev-

y reason for gratitude at our ai- red condition in the financial world id may rejoice with soberness of

drit in our financial strength and the fact that others owe us who

•e able to pay, Instead of us owing lem, we must not forget that the

achinery of our modern business aerates like an insurance company, * distribute losses, that it is inevi- ible the vast losses of this war shall e in time distributed, and that we

lust pay our share. To speculate, lerefore, as if the present hour

'ere all, as if our abounding wealth 'ere never to be subjected to strain, j

to promote disaster. Rather is it

i remember that we must pay, be. hankful that we have the means

rith which to pay, conserve those re-

ources so that when the day of eckoning comes it may be easy. If ie are thus careful we may take ad- antage of the fact that while all

tations, ourselves included, must | hare in the losses, it is quite possi- ile that in the sharing those who

nay share may change places rela-

:ively one with another. If, there-

ore, we shall emerge with our

share paid and no added burden of

iebt, and perhaps an increased cred- it, we may and, with care, we should, hold a position of power and influ- ance and opulence in the world to

which we have hitherto been stran-

gers.—Seer '.ary of Commerce W. C. Redfield to St. Louis Business Men.

NATIVE TESTIMONY.

As a consequence of the recent dis-

trict attorney having prosecuted a

large number of these cases which, insignificant in their essentials, and by no means momentous in their re-

sults, were dependent on Indian tes-

timony fo- conviction, it has, possi- bly, become a habit with juries to

attach too little credence to the evi- dence given by natives. In fact, it

is well known that many men boast

openly that they would not convict ander any circumstances on the un-

supported word of an Indian or that of any number of Indians.

As is usually the case, such a

jump from one extreme to the other is likely to prove disastrous, for

should those among the natives | gain the impression that they are

immune unless they are ,. testified against by, white men ope of ttye chief hindrances, to crime would be re-

moved.—Fairbanks Times. --

By this time the seat of war needs

patching.—Columbia State.

'Belgium needs less culture and more bread.—Washington Post.

While Washington is sanguine the Mexicans are sanguinary.—Colum- bia State.

Here in the south our chief fear

now is that the European savages will quit wqaring clothes.—Galveston neds.

Neutrality as interpreted by sev-

eral of our valiant citizens would mean war in about one minute.— New York World.
