President Ripley of tho Santa Fc, cx-Presidcnt Hill of the Great North ern and President Earle of the Mil waukee are reported as feeling ex tremely pessimistic In regard to the financial situation. They even prophecy that the good time wo have long been enjoying must come to an end Indeed, that they have ended. Even General Booth of tho Salva tion Army declares that low wages for labor aro well In sight and that every ono who works should begin to savo now in order to provide against tho hard times to come. But tho general places his gloomy fore cast not on the financial situation, which ho has probably no real con ception of, but on tho expectation that China, India and Japan are about to flood Europe and America with tho products of cheap labor. That will, perhaps, make hard times for labor, but will not necesasrlly prevent tho general prosperity that Is tho net gain In dollars and cents to the whole community, and the dead loss to the same community In happiness, intelligence and hope. Tho railroad presidents and ex prcsldcnts aro groat men and know something about finance. But even preat commercial men have been mistaken boforo now, both In their gloomy and their hopeful forecasts. Mr. Hill has been Inclined to pes simism for ten years and his prophecies of disaster have been qulto common and quite Incorrect over slnco tho Northern Securities company was dissolved by order of court. The other presidents seem to feel that tho president has made a mistako in trying to enforce the law and that loss of confidence In rail road Investments will thereforo re sult. Perhaps thoso prophecies aro designed rather to affect tho labor market with tho hope that railroads "will be more cheaply constructed. But, on tho otlier hand Mr. Stlck noy of St. Paul and several other financiers who aro entitled to have nn opinion do not bellovo that wo aro on tho verge of financial dlsatsor. "Why should wo bo, simply becauso a few rehatcrs have been convicted of breaking tho law and fined? Does tho stability of tho times dopond on granting Immunity to criminals? Just as long as tho gold mines con tinuo to pour nearly three hundred millions annually Into tho volume tof currency and that Immonso amount continues to expand ovory year, thoro Is no danger of any pormanont money stringency or ono which can bo long sustained. Temporary depressions aro suro to coino frequently from causes which quickly vanish, but when tho "volumo of curroncy" to iiso old Adam Smith's famous postu late "Is on tho increasing hand prices will go up, confldonco will lo sus tained, nnd prosperity will con tlnuo," "With gold Increasing in quantity ovory year Adam Smith's position will provo true, Til 13 lUfill SCHOOL. Tho Marshflold high school, llko so many other Institutions which de volopod In vlllngo conditions, but which must now respond to tho de Jiiunds of a growing city, Is attract ing a good deal of attontlon nmong citizens nnd mon. Timors and old timers nllko aro feeling n littlo ashamed of tho fact thnt It Is not equal to prosont needs. Nobody finds fault with the school board, bo rauiFu it is not doubted that thoy have done what they could In times past to oncourngo tho evolution of a high school. Thoy aro, if Tho Times hns boon correctly Informed, nllvo to tho situation and aro rendy to do nny thing which tho law roqulres, in bringing Marshflold up to tho educa tional standard of an Amorlcan city. Naturally they want to know that the people favor the enlargement of tho system to a four years course with tho small attendant expense. Now it Is not the school board which needs to be convinced that a good high school adds In every way to tho respectability of the city. They aro convinced already. Every citizen of Marshfleld should go on record on such a question as this and should appoint himself or her self a committee of one to wait on the members of the board, Dr. Mc Cormac, Hon. J. W. Bennett and Mr. Williams, and express their views on the subject. Is Marshfleld too poor to support a high school? Is it too small? Is It too far down in the scale of literacy? Just give your opinion on those questions. There Is no question as to what tho Marshfleld man's opinion is. Ho will say that thero is not a town In any civilized state In this Union contain ing 2,000 people which has not a fully equipped four year high school course. He will say that Marshflold has 5,000 now and will double her school attendance and higher grade demands before another year. He will say that while It is no special disgrace not to have houses In ad vance for the Incoming people, it will be forty times a disgrace not to have proper school advantages for the incoming children. America can live in tents if need be, but America, where she is America, must provide for education and always does. Let the school board feel that they have your backing. New House Keeping? By Professor Otto Fick. It Is not surprising that practical America has not yet had its eyes opened to the fact that housekeeping can bo made into a regular business venture without assuming any hotel features which would mako it too expensive for common people to take advantage of. It Is alsj a surprlsa that no architects or builders have, so far, found any solution ot the problem which necessarily mul and certainly will be found, if wo ex pect ever to bo able to lead a dally life undisturbed by the everlasting servant question. Still another cause of surprise la furnished by the noneconomlc and impractical manner In which an ordinary dwelling house for, say 30 families is arranged. The suply of water, heat and light has been centralized, and It would be difficult to find any person who pre fered to return to the use of the well and Its bucket, or kerosene lamps, or heating stoves after he had once been accustomed to push a button in order to get a light, or turn a faucet or knob in order to be supplied with water or heat. But It seems not yet to have been realized that the most important cen tralization of all that in regard to the preparation of meals Is tho greatest asset of Improvement which can bo added to a dwelling house, as it concerns infinitely, greater ex pense accounts than those roiating to 'tho water, gas and heat supply. (I wish, In this connection, to register my most earnest objection to heating apparatus without ventilation. Such an arrangement marks, in my opin ion, a retrogression, as It deprives people of good air without giving them a fresh supply In exchange. And slnco it Is not lawful to stifle people, I will suggest tho enactment of an ordlnanco prohibiting tho in stallation of heating apparatus when there Is not at the same tlmo some provision mado it can be dono at an Insignificant cost for scientific ven tilation.) On tho occasion when my building in Copenhagen was inspected by tho representative of the German govern ment the Prince of Rcuss nnd his ar chitectural expert, M. do Bruyn, Im perial councillor and member of tho architectural conunision, tho editor of tho Ilorlln Lokal Anzelger, who accompanied them, expressed his wonder that tho idea of building such houses had not been exploited long boforo, since It seomod so per fectly nntural and reasonable that It was hard to Imagluo how It should over havo been otherwise. It would not do to try to arrange tho dally llfo of ordinary pcoplo on the hotel plan. At tho bottom of tho heart of ovory American Is the desiro to havo a homo of his own; a placo which ho can call his, whero ho may recolvo his friends, nnd whoro his wife's supervision can make ovorythlng comfortnblo ac cording to her own Ideals. Asldo from this hotol life, even In so called apartment houses or hotels, Is much too costly, and It can In no in stanco ho considered a satisfactory substltuto for tho real homo which ovory person longs for, noeds and do sorves to enjoy. An Ideal modo of living would, of course, bo achieved by having one's own houso, with a rotlnuo of capable servants, but tho chancoa ot carrying out this plan aro becoming less all tho tlmo, while if tho houso should bo situated in tho suburbs of a largo city, thoro instant ly arises tho difficulty ot obtaining servants (It bolng tar from easy to procuro them in other places), and tho standard of living Is quite too expensive for the middle class of so ciety. When planning, montally, tho erection of a house for people of this class one must In tho first place ar range for the application of all tech nical improvements which have been devised up to dato. Tho principal objection to the check system Is that thero aro no laws governing tho issuance and cir culation of the check. Upon the earnest solicitation of financial ex it such amounts were disbursed by perts and progressive merchants the outline of a bill which is to be sub mitted to tho next Reichstag. The proposed law Is supposed to mett all demands, also to assure positive pro tection to the maker as well as to the holder of a check. " Notice of Assessment.
