HAW) TIMES.
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. "
