MUST NOT GET BIGHEAD.
There is a certain amount of dan
r from the Midas touch. About
e last thing we can afford now is
get the national “big head”; to
ink that the world is at otfr feet
id that we have it on the run with
down-hill pull. While we have ev
y reason for gratitude at our ai
red condition in the financial world
id may rejoice with soberness of
drit in our financial strength and
the fact that others owe us who
•e able to pay, Instead of us owing
lem, we must not forget that the
achinery of our modern business
aerates like an insurance company,
* distribute losses, that it is inevi
ible the vast losses of this war shall
e in time distributed, and that we
lust pay our share. To speculate,
lerefore, as if the present hour
'ere all, as if our abounding wealth
'ere never to be subjected to strain, j
j to promote disaster. Rather is it
i remember that we must pay, be.
hankful that we have the means
rith which to pay, conserve those re
ources so that when the day of
eckoning comes it may be easy. If
ie are thus careful we may take ad
antage of the fact that while all
tations, ourselves included, must |
hare in the losses, it is quite possi
ile that in the sharing those who
nay share may change places rela
:ively one with another. If, there
ore, we shall emerge with our
share paid and no added burden of
iebt, and perhaps an increased cred
it, we may and, with care, we should,
hold a position of power and influ
ance and opulence in the world to
which we have hitherto been stran
gers.—Seer '.ary of Commerce W. C.
Redfield to St. Louis Business Men.
NATIVE TESTIMONY.
As a consequence of the recent dis
trict attorney having prosecuted a
large number of these cases which,
insignificant in their essentials, and
by no means momentous in their re
sults, were dependent on Indian tes
timony fo- conviction, it has, possi
bly, become a habit with juries to
attach too little credence to the evi
dence given by natives. In fact, it
is well known that many men boast
openly that they would not convict
ander any circumstances on the un
supported word of an Indian or that
of any number of Indians.
As is usually the case, such a
jump from one extreme to the other
is likely to prove disastrous, for
should those among the natives |
gain the impression that they are
immune unless they are ,. testified
against by, white men ope of ttye chief
hindrances, to crime would be re
moved.—Fairbanks Times.
