"pown with the Calamity FOWLER

"Down with the Calamity HovleE"
From every section of the country re-
ports OF better times continue to come.
The farmer especially, upon whose pros
perity so much depends, is rejoicing In
the great agricultural regions of the west
and south, and in all branches Of indus
try and trade the outlook has more of
encouragement in 1t than It has had for
four years past, saving, of course, the
coal industry, in which It Is thought bet
ter conditions will soon prevail.
While this is true, there is one element
of the population which Is doing all it
can. though unlntentIonally perhaps. to
retard the advance of good times. 1t is
to be found mostly in the cities where
the political demagogue OF the Popo-
cratic brand does much of his talking
and usually has a newspaper organ to
talk through. The only way for a city
to get the benefit Of the wave of prosperi-
ty is to retire these calamity howlers.
Give them to understand that bowling
calamity never brought good times, and
their calling is unpopular.
In this connection, the Columbus Dis
patch, referring to the fact that Column
bus Is beginning to show evidence of
business revival. complains that that
city is cursed with the calamity bowler
