FOREIGN OPINIONS ON PA XI C.
I . . , . mm
The following, taken from the
leading: newspapers of Entrland
will be interesting to show the
opinion, as viewed from a dis
tance, of the recent financial
flurry in New York and the al
leged cause thereof:
The London Economist says:
1 his is one of the worst
experiences within the history of
Wall Street, but no permanent in
jury to American prosperity is
likely to result from the inci
dent. It is a moral rather than I
a monetary cause which they)
point out as underlying the dis
turbance, and they suggest a re-
form of American banking laws
as clearly called for. What some
newspapers have called "the
Roosevelt Panic" not a single
English Journal holds the Presi
dent of the United States re
sponsible for. The alleged ex
ploitation of seme New York
banks by unscrupulos syndicates
is spoken of by the London Econo
mist as largely the cause of the
difficulty and it is quite clear
that, whether the course of con
duct alleged has or has not been
engaged in, the American sys-(
tem of banking, and the laxness
both of theiaw and of its admin-!
istration in New York, rendered
the practice' at least quite pos
sible." The London Times says: "Mr.
Roosevelt has been impudently
slandered by those who attribute
the panic to his mistakes. As a
matter of fact the course which
he has taken was actually nec
essary if the future credit of the
country is to be preserved. Ac
cording to some interested
parties, the President is to blame
for having vigorously called at
tention to the reckless and sel
fish proceedings of individuals
and corporations, and for having
thus, it is impudently asserted,
caused all the trouble; but well-
wishers to the United States are
net likely to take that view, and
will applaud him for having
faced so boldly a powerful body
of able men who have been too
much accustomed to have their
own way, regardless of public
welfare and public rights. No
one need fear for the economic
future of the United States
merely because a man has been
found who is courageous enough
to tell the people he serves that
some of their business practices
are wrong and dangerous."
The London Evening Standard
and St. James Gazette says
"For our part we can not believe
that Mr. Roosevelt can he held
responsible. From the moment
when the antitrust campaign of
democracy was answered by the
antitrust campaign of republican
ism a breach in the walls of
'Bossism' was inevitable? In
the end good must come of al
this trouble, though the just must
suffer with the unjust."
The London Spectator says
"Though there is much confus
ion and perturbation in New
York, and though a good many
people, rich and poor, will loose
a great deal of money, there is
not the slightest cause for any
thing approaching international
anxiety. Indeed, the net result,
as far as the public is concerned,
can be summed up as follows:
'Many people will have to sell
what are actually valuable stocks
at a great sacrifice, and many
other people for a week or two
will be able to pick up those val
uable stocks at excellent
bargains- There has been no
actual destruction of wealth, and
therefore no diminution of the
volume of property but merely
the end of a financial dream.
A large number of people in
New York are finding they sre

not really as rich as they thought
they were, but just as the dream
of prosperity was largely unreal,
so to a great extent the dream of
ruin is unreal. Or again just as
the dream of advantage went for
a time too far, so the dream of
disadvantage has also gone too
far and things are not nearly as
bad as they seem. Those who
accuse rresiaent JKooseveit ot
causing the panic are thus scath
ingly dealt with: "With a hardi
hood which, if the matter was
not so serious, might be describ
ed as comic, a section of the
great millionaires and financial
kings, when thus detected in
malpractices, have turned upon
the President and those who sup
port him, and blamed them for
declaring that the law of the
and must be enforced as sternly
against great capitalists as
against the petty trader. Mr.
Roosevelt's policy, they assert,
is shaking the very foundations
of the national credit and drying
up the sources of industry.
The accusation is peculiarly im
pudent. The men who have
shaken the credit of the nation
are not those who have exposed
tbe misdeeds but those who have 1
to the law but because of the rev
elation of repeated and glaring
breaches of the law, that public
confidence in the business
methods of so many great com
mercial and financial undertak'
ings has been destroyed. If a
panic were to take place, owing
to an enormous number of un
punished burglaries, what should
we think if the burglars lectured
the police authorities on having
provoked the panic by their
policy of prosecution, and by
their reckless use of the evidence
in regard to the doings of the
criminals? Would they not be
told that if the burglars would
give up burglary ' there would be1
no need of prosecutions, and. no
fear of a panic?"
THANKSGIVING PRO CLA MA 2702V.
Once again the season of the
year has eome when in accord
ance with the custom of our fore
fathers for generations past, the
President appoints a day as the
special occasion for all of our
people to give praise and Thanks
giving to the Supreme Ruler of
the Universe. During the past
year we nave oeen iree irom
done them. It is not because Mr. famine, from pestilence, from
Roosvelt has demanded obedience j War. We are at peace with all
the rest of mankind. Our
natural resources are at least as
great as those of any other
nation. We believe that in abil
ity to develop and take advan
tage of the resources, the aver
age man of this nation stands at
least as high as the average
man of any other. Nowhere
else m the world is there such
an opportunity for a free people
to develop, to the fullest extent,
all its powers of body, of mind,
and of that which stands above
both body and mind character.
a great democracy 4iKe ours, a
democracy based upon the
principles of orderly liberty, can
be perpetuated only if in the
hearts of the ordinary citizen
there dwells a keen sense of right
eousness and justice. This sub
stantially, is thepreamble of this
splendid proclamation. Any
thing the President writes or ap
proves irust be fundamental to
the subject in hand. He is an
alytic and forceful. He knows
what it requires to make a good
average citizen. His motto is
"Justice for all, high or low, and
favors for nobody."
We should rejoice because of
the greatness of our nation, and
be thankful that we have such a
man at the head of it as Theo
dore Roosevelt.

All who are suffering with stomach

should use Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
Nothing else is as safe, yet elective;

It is not a mere digestive taken after
