Have you got your $1-100 In personal property and cash, and your $800 worth of real estato? If not, you have either been cheated, have been proflignto, or else tho bulbous-browed statisti cian in tho United States census bu ronu has slipped a cog somewhere in his figures. This government sta tistician has figured out, to his own satisfaction at least, that tho Ur-'ted States Is tho wealthiest countrj In. tho world, nnd In consequence Its pcoplo nro tho most prosperous and tho happiest. According to tho census returns for 1904 it wns shown that on Juno 30th of thnt year tho total wealth of tho United States was $107,101, 211,017, an lncreaso alnco tho cen sus of 1900 of $18,592,905,142.

Coriw of Cosffler cial and Cotrt Streets Juno 30, 1900, to December 31. 190G, Is approximated at $30,225, 000,000. Thcro aro somo 81,000, 000 people in this country, nnd It may easily bo scon that tho individ ual wealth should bo In tho neighbor hood of $1-100, Including rent estate. Figuring on tho samo plan tho statistician finds thnt In 1904 thcro wns in gold and silver coin an ln creaso in four yonrs of $1,077,379,- 829, a sum sufficient to lot ovoryono on Now Year's morning in 1907 jinglo $25.50 in his pocket. In the Bamo way this man of figures found that, becauso In 1904 tho value of real estato nnd farm proporty wns $02,341,492,134, everyone in tho United States should bo possessed of realty to tho amount of $800, provld ed nn equal distribution could be made. While this Juggling with figures is interesting and undoubtedly af fords much nmusoment to tho statis tician, It Is of real value in proving that the country's prosperity is es tablished on a firm bnsis. Tho onor mous gains In values, it is recognized nro due to tho reorganization of bus iness methodB. This reorganization brought In Its train many economic evils that had to bo dealt with. Great consolidation of business Interests, in somo cases, feeling their new found power, exorted this powor along lines that aroused popular dis content. Happily this tendoncy has passed away with tho reorganization days. The chief danger seen now to a continuation of tho present era of good times is tho tendency of. tho American people to wreck tardy ven gcanco on all forms of corporations becauso of tho action of tho few men tioned. Men of discernment In pub lic life and thoso Include President Roosevelt, Secretary Shaw, CommlB eloner of Corporations Garfield, Archbishop Ireland and scores of others havo joined In urging that this spirit of unrest bo curbed. The foreign trado of this country has been developed to a point wbero It offers almost certain aBsuranco of tho maintenance of prosperity, bo cduso It provides a market abroad for tho surplus products of Ameri can farms and the overproduction of American factories.

Tho people of Weston will not lie down and bo wiped off tho map with out a protest. Neither will little Drain. "Tho Monmouth school Is to bo removed to a high school city, and then thcro will bo throo large normal schools Instead of four small ones," said another momber of the combine. ThlB Is part of tho slato that Is being arranged, but Jones of Lincoln is still to bo reckoned with.

Tho pcoplo of Weston havo Issued a circular against being absorbed and moved bodily to Pendleton in which tho following gingery' paragraphs aro thrown into circulatien: Objections to Pendleton.
