Business men who are unable to | meet obligations hecanse of a lack of counfi- dence are not certain. to reason aconrately in searching for the canses of she trouble, For years citizens of this country have heen taught that panic are made or numade hy the policies of the party in power. Of late this notion has been confined to the idea | thas the President is vot only the party bus the government and thus equipped for measuring conditions they are apt to hlame everythiog that is inimical on the Presi. dent. We have never believed that prosperity is the result of either legislation or admin- istration. Abundant crops which are the result of auspicious conditions and national or individoal intelligence and industry, make good times and the failure of the #0il to produce has the contrary effect re- | gardless of the political complexion of the party in power or the President in office. But business activity can be impaired by a party or a President. The volume of trade is influenced by the measure of confidence which prevails and public confidence may be greatly disturbed or even ocompletely destroyed by the unwise utterances or in- considerate actione of the President. We don’t imagine that enforcing the law works such results. But threatening ocaprices sometimes do. ROOSEVELT has not been wise either in his utterances or actions since the begin- ning of the period of financial stringency. At the outset be undertook to interpret what was really a grave danger as simply an expression of the enmity of ‘‘malefactors of great wealth’’ against himself. His vanity was probably responsible for this misconstruction but that hardly mitigates the evil consequences which have followed and yet menaces in greater proportion. If instead of blathering about bis purposes and policies he had proceeded in a rational way to solve the problem and secure the remedy, the bad results would have heen minimized and his preferences in the mat- ter of his successor would have had more and better influences on the public mind.

They failed to take into con sideration, however, that, while milk is a real necessity in the larder of the working man, at eight cents a quart it became next to a luxury, for the reason that the labor- ing man’s wages have not been raised com- mensurate with the increase of all kinds of bousehold pecessities, olothing, eto. Be that as it may, however, Bellefonters are now assured of getting wilk in the near fature at the old price.

They are now having their wagons gotten in readiness and expect to be delivering milk in town within a week or ten days.
