Under yellow and black banners bearing the words "Votes for Women" various impassioned oratoresses grieving at the position to which woman is rele gated in this country are lecturing from soap boxes on crowded corners. Just what specific ends this suffra gette invasion with demand for votes for women hopes to accomplish mere man has so far had considerable dif ficulty in determining. One. of the more fiery oratoresses has announced that the country is in need of a moral revolution whatever that may be. Another has taken for her theme the statement that as woman is the boss of the home which is the greatest fac tor in the advance of the country, she ought logically to be boss of every thing else. Still others advocate the abolishment of rents. It is noticeable that about 99 per cent of the street corner audiences are ccmposed of men who grin cheerful!, the remain ing 1 per cent being made up of women who are extremely disdaining. One man, apparently of English dis traction, found himself in consider able danger y of a serious fight for shouting "No petticoat government for Hamerica.' Various requests were made that he "give the women a chance to talk" and matters looked stormy until he explained that he had left England on just that account No local Countess of Warwick has yet appeared to chapion the cause and altogether the movement, while it attracts interest by its novelty, is not taken seriously. ' o l AGAINST WITHDRAWAL. Nobody ought to be surprised that one of the most influential newspapers in Cuba, the "Discussion" of Havana, protests prompt and vigorously in a long editorial against the American administration program which con templates the withdrawal of United States troops on February 1, 1909, and the leaving of the island to work out its ewn destiny from that date on. The republic ought to be re established, it is admitted, but the time fixed for it is too early says this shaper of popular opinions. "It is a mere exigency of American oolitics. altogether irrespective of Cuban interests." declares the "Dis cussion." "It is very deplorable that the United States is to loose Cuba on a fixed date with no reference to the condition it' will be in on that date. The program will greatly damage the country, bringing a sudden accumula tion of happenings just at the height of the sugar season, a most inauspic ious time." And it is further stated that predictions as to the length of the new experimental republic's life are very pessimistic "some think there will be a revolution as soon as the American army vanishes be yond the Morro Castle, while others think it will stand as long as it takes to build it." ' If one of the earliest acts of the next American administra tion is to send United States troops to Cuba and "take her over" again, it will shock none of us wbo know A DOLLAR SAVED ' IS A DOLLAR EARNED We pay inter! twice a year la our ving department.

Society will soon have to discover something new in the way of jewels if diamonds continue to be the drug on the market which the panic has made them. As things go at present, the demands is almost at a stand still and as for prices, about all that is necessary to obtain a stone is to name your own prices, isooouy wants to buy diamonds and the seri ousness of the situation in this regard which has already brought the failure of several large diamond houses simply because trade was dead is in stanced by the fact that the importa tions of these gems for 1907 was nearly $12,000,000 less than in 1906 when prosperity was so much in evi dence. Diamonds which cannot be sold are just so much unproductive capital, a fact strikingly illustrated by the inability of the firm in whose pos session it is to dispose of the world- famous Hope blue diamond valued at $250,000. A serious phase of this stagation is found in the pawn shops. In New York more than anywhere else in the country people of small means have acquired the habit of pur chasing diamonds with their savings instead of banking them, on the theory which heretofore has always held good, that the stones would in crease steadily in value could always be sold at a profit and most import ant of all afforded a certain means of raising cash through the pawn shops. But where pawnshop" men formerly lent nearly 50 per cent of its value on a pledged stone 10 per cent is now about the limit. Consequently those in New York who find themselves in possession of diamonds are curiously enoush the owners of about the least profitable and most expensive luxury Dossible. Not the rich but the poor are those who have diamonds now. . 03 EDITORIAL SALAD. (!) Pity Fire Chief Croker is not on deck to hear some of the criticisms hurled at his department! The big chief is something of a fighter him self. Why not have a climb over the ship's ' side on a "Jacob's ladder" made a test for naval officers so as to correspondent with the other serv ice's horseback rides? The St Paul Western is liable to a $5000 fine in Wisconsin for working a telegraph operator longer than eight hours a day. What would the West ern Union think of such a law? Fifth avenue doctors deny that there is an epidemic of sneezing among the residents of that thorough fare. It was probably the talk of the approaching wedding that the pass ers-by heard. More signs of a four-leaf shamrock sprouting. But Sir Thomas rightly leaves the fussy New York Yacht Club to take the initiative. He is tired of seeing his cup challenges blocked by technicalities. Fighting Bob Evans, commander of the greatest of modern fleets, in capacitated by rheumatism, presents a situation that will furnish material for the paragraphers until .another Ananias presents himself for official disfavor. Vice-presidents of a number of rail roads will confer with the President January 27 concerning restrictive leg islation. This is all very well but it will not bring back the lost business or buy food for the men who have lost their jobs. Triumphant American Optimism. Optimistic philosophy is the dom inant note in American life. It per meates all classes. The crumbier, the calamity howler, the predicter of evil, the man who thinks that the country is going to the dogs, and that American institutions are deter iorating is the exception, not the rule. Who can ever estimate what we owe to that splendid wave of optim ism which has swept over this coun try since the panic? Everywhere we hear strong busi ness men talking optimism, trying to reassure the people, cautioning them against the fatality of spreading the pessimistic note. The optimist of the press has had a wonderful effect on the masses, especially the ignorant and the timid. In Chicago, especially, many of the business and social organizations have done a splendid work in allay ing the fears of the people. If the recent panic had occurred twenty-five years ago, it would have been very much more serious. Peo ple were much more pessimistic than they are to-day. The leven of op timism is working a marvelous change in our people. W are more hopeful, more confident. There are not so many people to day as there were formerly, who be lieve that things are go.ing to the dogs. We have more faith in ourselves, more faith in our country, more faith in that great creative principle which finally rights all wrongs, and which, in spite of all disaster and seeming wrong, finally brings harmony out of discord. Our people have unbounded confid ence in America's future and this vig orous American optimism will ulti mately make any very extended fi nancial panic impossible. Our re sources are too vast, our people too gritty, too resourceful, too inventive, too determined, too hopeful, to long be materially affected by any finan cial disturbance. Nowhere in the world is there crowded together such untold re sources, such vast unexplored wealth, as in this country; and nowhere else have the inventive, resourceful facul ties of man been developed to such an extent as here in America. And better than all this is the fact that the hopefulness of the individu al matches our national optimism, for her no youth is hampered or man acled in his race for success. His only limits are in himself. We have as yet scarcely scratched the surface of our vast resources. Even during the recent panic we knew that the confidence of our peo ple as to our future greatness and grandness was not shaken in the least Everyone knew that it was only a temporary storm; that behind it the sun of American progress and enter, prise was shining and would soon dissipate all the clouds. Running all through the American people is a great underlaying phil osophy of optimism. Hope, not des pair, carries the American banner Success Magazine. WOMAN'S WHIST LEAGUE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. -The battleship Nebraska under command f Captain Nicholson, sailed for Mag- dalena Bay yesterday to make her first effort at target practice. Follow ing her target practice the Nebraska is expected to be in full readiness to join the ships of Admiral Evans' fleet next March. From Abe Ruef's point of view, it seems that there is unwarranted par tiality shown in the use of the im munity bath. Arrested Man Charged With Murder of Policeman Mooney. CHICAGO, JarT-The love of a girl who, against the wishes of her mother, had been secretly meeting Simmons, led to his arrest last night on the charge of being implicated in the murder of Policeman William R. Mooney, who was shot by highway men on the night of January 2. Grace Warner, 21 years old, has been meeting Simmons every night while detectives were searching the city for him. The police learned of this and last night followed her from her home. Just as Simmons greeted her, half 1 doxen detectives surround ed the couple and Simmons was forc ed to surrender at the points of re volvers. Simmons, according to the police, is the most desperate highwayman who has worked in Chicago since the car-barn bandits. William Brown, the confesed slayer of Policeman Mooney and Thomas McCann, an accomplice, both say Simmons was with them at the time of the murder. Simmons is wanted 01 an indictment for the mur der of Herman Hansen, a saloon keeper who was shot an killed in a hold-up several weeks ago. Twenty or more aloon robberies are charged to him. Recently a reward was offered for his capture. CUT THIS OUT. Fine Recipe for the Quick Cure of Coughs and Colds. "Mix half ounce of Concentrated oil of pine with two ounces of glycer ine and half a pint of good whiskey; shake well each time and use in doses of a teaspoonful to a tablcspoonfut every four hours. This is the formula prescribed by the renowned throat and lung special ist who established the camp for con sumptives in the pine woods of Maine and whose remarkable cures attract ed widespread attention among the medical fraternity. He declares that it will heal the lungs and cure an cough that is curable and will break up an acute cold in 24 hours. The ingredients can be secured from any prescription druggist at a small cost and is easily mixed at home. Be sure not to buy the ordinary bulk oil 'of pine nor patent medicine imitations, as they will produce nau sea on account of the impurities they contain and frequently do permanent injury to the kidneys. The real "Concentrated" oil of pine is put up for medicinal use in half ounce vials inclosed in small tin screwtop cases which protect it from heat and light. It is also said to be an excellent remedy for lumbago and all forms of uric acid rheumatism. For this purpose it is taken raw; a few drops on sugar night and morn ing.
