liter Up, the Worst Is Yet to Come.
We are liable to get the idea that
veryone who does not see our own
et schemes as we see them—through
magnifying glass—is a pessimist
nd a knocker, when in reality condi
ons throughout the United States
uring the past few years have been
> uncertain and revolutionary that
ren the most optimistic captains of
dustry have been forced to call a
ilt In their operations. This has
id a tendency to cause everyone to
'it the screws on the other fellow.
These boosters had boosted every
ing to such an extent and bulled
emselves into thinking all they had
do was to form a corporation issue
jck into the millions, with noth
g back of it and dividends would
turally follow. Then someone got
idea that issuing stock was after
much the same as borrowing mon
. except that in one instance they
re forced to pay dividends. The
inces are he was a “bear.” Then
? public began to howl and to
>the it the party in power began
aching holes in the other fellow’s
loon and naturally the other party
ne back at them the best they
3W how, and that is where we
ver Valdez business men learned
v to knock and bear.
.''here are some around here,
sters too, they claim, who cannot
see why Valdez remains where
s today. So it depends mostly
the point of view as to whether a
1 is a knocker or a booster.
'he word knocker has a harsh
ad, and to me represents a man
> will run down say another man’s
lit when he knows he himself
Id trust the same man.
pessimist appears as one who
see no merit in anything, grabs
■ything in sight in the present,
dreads the future. An optimist
ne who believe* in the eternal
ce of things and as a result
s for, and looks forward cheer
to the future. This agitation
reselted in a mess of freak laws
ist combination which every
knows must necessarily exist in
less, just as it does in war or
ics. Big business has apparent
iceived the signal to go ahead
are doing so, but little business
hardly knows what legislation
existence or what consideration
will receive if they leave them
s liable is still in a nightmare,
lat we need is either no rules,
se rules that will force us all
ganize along conservative lines
permit us to combine and co
te to secure a reasonable prof
a reasonable capitalization. As
3 are now the public is inclin
look upon the average stock
cate as about equal in value to
napkins.
Valdez is all right and those
tav with her will either win or
lieving them were about to win.
ich case the last words should
‘If I could have just hung on
e longer.” Just wait until this
of reorganization has ended

tax bills home-rule seems to
made necessary, and then the
boom will be on, and everybody will
be happy, either here or somewhere
else.

Reported in Ca|4al that Watchful
Waiting Will Give Way to
Activity In Near Future.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The belief
is prevalent in official circles here
that the United States government is
soon to officially recognize General
Carranza as the head of the Mexican
government. President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing, of the state de-'
partment, are reported to have lost
patience with the Pan-American con
ferees who have spent several weeks
in delivering oratorical masterpieces
but have failed to reach any conclu
sion or solution of the Mexican prob
lem.
Gen. Punston’s investigations along
the border as to the Identity or me
Mexican bandits which have been
raiding Texas towns and ranches are
reported to have revealed the fact
that the bandits belong to Villa’s
army.
Should the United States recognize
Gen. Carranza it is believed that his
forces would soon complete the de
struction of Villa's scattered bands,
as they would be unable to secure am
munition or supplies from the United
States while Carranza’s forces would
be equipped with the best American
rifles and cartridges.
The recognition of Carranza by1
the United States would also make it
possible for him to finance the oper
ations of his forces in which.he has
been handicapped as there is no
money in Mexico and foreigners fear
ing to risk such precarious invest
ments as financing a Mexican leader
which might not be recognized by the
United States even should he prove
victorious.

ANOTHER SLIDE
IT CULEDDA CUT
Another Slide Has Occurred which
Caused an Island of Mud to
Kise in Path of Boats.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Another
tremendous slide has occurred at
Culebra cut which has again com
pletely blocked the Panama canal,
and it is feared that the waterway
will not be cleared for the passage of
vessels for several months. The work
of removing the mud which filled the
canal from last week’s slide was be
ing carried forward day and night,
and Col. Goelthals had announced
that light draught vessels could use
the canal Monday, but the slide which
occurred yesterday has formed an
island in the canal^ closing it to all
traffic.
Col. Goethals, who had tendered his
resignation as governor of Panama
Canal zone, lias determined to stay
and fight Culebra to a finish. The
work of removing the mud from the
canal is progressing and en(timers
are considering a new method of pre
venting it from flowing over the bot
tom of the canal, and the waterway
will be closed to traffic while the work
is under way.
