To treat the disease of panics

even briefly, I have to expose it, though generally and ordinally it is aptomlsm we need. Th e government, preferably, though ather agencies could be used, should appoint days or weeks for an educational, inspirational Prosperity Campaign. Optimism, Co-operation, Government Activity, Work and Sweat should be greatly emphasized. All the forces of education, movies, schools, churches, publications, public and platform speakers and conversationalists should te set to work. Referring again to prosperity education, we need to emphasize: if you have no Job, create one; taJk, walk and act prosperity; get busy, get to work and produce something, consume something, spend some-thing, do something. A dollar turned loose becomes a missionary. If held. It is taken out of circulation and constipates the money market. The Government should take a few carloads of her coin and currency lying idle In mints ami vaults and circulate it. Iet it do good; let It create activity; let it make honest sweat flow, wheels of Industry hum, the desert blossom as a rose. Only a short while ago, a carload of gold was lying Idle in the Denver Mint, and I believe the same is true n.ow. While the general and universal cry now is, "shortage of money, scarcity of money, no money" and while much of it Is in Europe, yet it matters little and the fact remains, we have it not and the people cannot get it. Hence, -until nor

mal times, the government should circulate a great deal of this money now lying idle and should even issue paper government notes to a large extent. "When times become normal, let the notes be taken up and call in part of the idle money that was lying in the Mints and Vajlts. Some will say. Oh! that would create too much money. It would make money cheap. Look at. Russia. To this I say, that even a counterfeit dollar will buy aa much goods, create as much comfort and happiness as a sound one, although we want sound ones. We had bet ter haive too much money than great shortage, though neither con

ditlon Is necssary. American money is, will be and always has been valuable. Confederate notes did not have the official Government approval nor stamp, tout any paper money bearing our Treasury stamp is good money and I have never seen any one refuse it. We cannot take Russia for exexample or illustration, to depreciate our new plans or money. Russia has no God, no reljlon, no faith or high moral standards or standing with Nations. We have a man In Denver now preaching & prosperity based upon good will, unselfishness, faith, visualization, etc. He has a great Niagara of money flowing into his lap dally and cays that It will work with other Individuals, communities and even Nations. As there is eo much difference between a panic and prosperity, as It vitally afreets our health, wealth, comfort and happiness, it certainly looks like the people would be concerned about It, other than to whine, pine and loaf. Much depends and rests on this all important, age old, much discussed, ever needel money. Tiiis is the power that makes the wheels of industry turn, the crops grow, the soil bring forth its hidden trasures, as It were, the people simple and honest sweat flow. We havn't

It, but where is it? We would not wor.-hip it, but use it. Look at the good this car load of new gold coin we haive in the Denver Mint could do, if put into circulation. This Prosperity Revival should be ,'based upon Faith in God, His provinital Care. This world needs the Hell blown out of it with "Nitro Ink." Yours for the Ink, JOE SHIRES. Adams Hotel.

M'ADOO

IS BLAMED

BY ROADS

(INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERV1CEJ WASHINGTON, April 1 . William Gibbs Mc-Adoo, forme director general of railroads, was acuscd of placing an "enormous and destructive burden of expenses" upon American railroads during the war by Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Pacific, in testifying; b fore the senate interstate commerce committee. Kruttschnitt declared McAdoo and the federal railroad administration had ignored the "promises of President Wilson" and the "guarantees of congress" In neglecting railroad equipment during his administration. "McAdoo left to the owners the unpopular task of seeking before the public an increase in revenue to meet this increase in expenses," said Kruttschnitt.

Kruttschnitt said McAdoo had turned back the roads with a margin of '1'out 6.53 per cent between operating expenses and earnings compared to 29.62 per cr. when he recoived them." He added t"hat out of every dollar spent on operating

expenses 97'i cents was paid out

"at prices fixed by the government

Itself or market conditions beyond

the control of the railroads."
