Probably lie lias, but isn't there something wrotiii wiien the question of panic or 110 panic is determined by one man? Doesn't it mean a financial situation detrimental to the government and nation when one man has such tre nvimlous power? it ought to be made a criminal of fense for any able bodied man to lie a voluntary idler. It Is bad enough to have idle rich men to squander their wealth nnd indulge in all kinds ot wrong doing,but it is even worse per hajis when a man iu exceedingly mod crate or poor circumstances idles his time away and lets Mb family suffer l'cr comforts or even necessities of life. Strikes and lockouts are out of P-lace in this twentieth century. It ought to be possible for the states? man and sociologist of the present time to evolve some pacific and ef fective method of dealing with labor troubles, Aa it is, not only do work men suffer privation and employers loss of business in every dispute but the public too often gets ground be tween the upper and nether mill stones of capital and labor. To all intents and purposes the dis solution of the Tobacco Trust leaves that body with power practically un disturbed, Evidently it is a dissolu tion that does not dissolve. That, probably, is the result most people expected, it will be safe to. guesa that the rearrangement or dissolution of other twists will, with existing cou diHons,, be much about the same.

We produce more foodstuffs, turn out more manufactured due Is. we pay more and higher wanes than any other two countries across the Atlantic. An-J we haven't really started. pro- The year behind us has always been a year of lesser achievement. We produced the steamboat, the telephone, the talking machine, the moving picture, the submarine. We brought railroading to its uj timate perfection we gave the world the harvester and the iron plow, the steel building and the power street cars. We in less than two hundred years, have set the pace for the uni verse. Five million acres of desert sands and swamps have been changed into gardens and orchards and grain lands In this very century. We have just learned to irrigate we have just realized what scientl. fie agriculture can accomplish what intensified farming can do. And at that we haven't broken more than a fraction of our fertile ground, not ar, eighth of the area that we own has been put to the plow. We haven't harnessed one per cent, of our available water power, or di verted an infinitestimal fraction of our useless streams to useful pur poses. We haven't half explored our mountains. The wealth we have tak en from the ground is a mere hint ot what we will discover wheu we get down to the job in earnest. Yet with all our wasting and with all our hasting, we have forged onward and upward. In the past we had to learn as we earned, and so we squandered as lavishly as we prodnced.

This refers to the more shal low lakes, tfhich at present, notwitli stanuini the heavy rainfall since the first week of July, have not. as much water in them as is customary at this time of year. The lakes became very low because or the lack of heavy snows last winter and the dry weath er and absence of moisture during the first half of the year, and now the water is at a very low st^ge, with al most a certainty that il will freeze to tbe bottom during ibt winter and kill all the fish in them.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Ca tarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken intern ally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitu tion and assisting nature in doing its work.
