EDITORIAL PAGE
GIK>1> OITLOOK FOR 1914.
The commercial and financial con
ditions in the United States, accord
ing to Henry Clews & Co., in an ar
ticle on the business outlook, are
much more satisfactory than a year
ago. For over a year all business
transactions have been conducted up
on a rigidly conservative basis.
There has iieen no overproduction b
our mills, and no overbuying by our
merchants. Conservatism has domin
ated everywhere. Liquidaation has
eliminated weak spots, and financial
conditions have been strengthened
by steady contraction and a closer
safeguarding of credit operations.
The steel industry has been unduly
repressed, not by overproduction,
but by lack of orders due to grave
uncertainties, which promise to grad
ually disappear. These uncertain
ties relate chiefly to the inability of
the railroads to finance new require
ments and to the reaction in real
estate, which is the o«Iy branch of
business in which there w-as serious
overexpansicn in 1913. The contrac
tion in steel is altogtthre too severe
to last. The textile trades are in bet
ter condition than anticipated. The
new tariff has not as yet proved a
serious check, although its full ef
fects have yet to be seen. Never
theless, American manufacturers
have shown energetic readiness in
meeting new conditions, and thus
far the arrivals of foreign cottons
and woolens have not teen such as
to seriously threaten American man
ufactures. The failures this week
in retail dry goods circles were not
significant. The retail trade as a
whole, though not quite as active as
a year ago, is in very sound condi
tions—the failures referred to hav
ing been due to special caus<«—and
the best authorities look forward to
a large business during 1914. At
the West there has been some tem
porary slowing down of general
trade during the close of the year,
partly owing to the fact that the
year-end is always a period of dull
business and partly because the
wave of depression which begah in
New York hns in a lesser degres ex
tended itself throughout the West.
No serious reaction, however, is an
ticipated, a'-.d among the best judges
there is a tone of prcnounced con
fidence. In the Northwest the win
ter wheat is reported in fine condi
tion. At the South conditions are
generally satisfactory, the cotton
crop, like the cereal crops, having
turned out better than expected.
From a world-wide viewpoint the
United States is in better financial
and commercial condition than any
other country in the world. This is
worth bearing in mind, for the Uni
ted States has often in the past led
the world in business recovery. We
have been through a period of li
quidation and contraction. Great
Britain is just beginning this pro
cess, while Germany lias not yet
emerged from a reaction which be
gan over a year ago. The financial
situation in Europe is still one of
strain owing to effects of the Bal
kan war and the exhaustion of cap
ital by the continued pressure of
new issues in England, France and
Germany. For these reasons it is
hardly to bo expected that Europe
can lead any upward movement in j
American stocks, especially as the I
floating supply of our stocks abroad
is much reduced. Canada is still
suffering from overborrowing and J
Canadians have large sums out on
call in this marlret which would be
withdrawn in case of emergency. Of
late there has been some improve
ment In the local investment de
mand; also a better Inquiry for
bonds from instituti ins, as is usu
al at this season. There is still
a considerable short interest in the
market. Occassional reactions must
be expected, but conditions as a
whole favor a more active and j
stronger market.
Solving the Marriage Problem.
"The stenographer's leaving us to j
get married, sir."
"That makes live we lost in the last
two years by the matrimony route,
doesn't It?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then hire a male stenographer this j
time. When he gets married he'll be
darn glad to hang on to his job."—De
troit Free Tress.
One More Turn.
A frenchman, being troubled with
the gout, was ask oil what difference
there was between that and rheuma
tism.
"One very groat difference." replied
monsieur. "Suppose you take one
vise, put your tinker in, you turn the
screw till you can bear him no longer,
zat is rheumatism. Den s'pose you
give him one turn more, zat is gout."
Two Strings.
He frowned in perplexity on bearing
once more that she was not at home.
"I wonder, Jimmy," Le said bitterly,
"if your sister realizes that ! have
treated her to three taxi rides and
four concerts this month?"
"You bet she realizes it." said the
small boy. grinning. "That's why she s
keeping her engagement to Joe John
son a secret."-Pittsburgh Press.
Only Trying to Play.
A visitor who had an exalted opin
ion of his golf ability was extended
the courtesy of the club, and the tirst
day he went over the beautiful course
in the highlands accompanied by a
bright caddy. He had succeeded in
burying his ball In every bunker, gul
ly and burn ou or near the links when
he turned to the caddy and said.
"Really, this is the most difficult
course 1 have ever played on."
"Hoo dae ye ken?" asked the caddy
gravely. "Ye havna played on it yet."

Found an Excuse.
In a north of England school a penny
savings bank has been introduced to
encourage thrift among the children.
Mrs. Murphy hr.d given her young
hopeful threepence to put into the
bank, but on the way to school Patrick
had been tempted and fallen. On his
return home his mother looked at the
entry aiul said:
"Shure. there's only twopence mark
et! down here! How's that?"
"Oh. mother." si:id Patrick, "that's
ail the ink the teacher had!"—Ex

EARLY HABITS.
Precepts are useful, but practice
and imitation go far beyond them;
hence the importance of watching
early habits, that they may be free
from what is objeclionable, and ot
keeping before our mind as much
as possible the necessity of imitating
the good and the wise.
