An Era of Prosperity.

An exchange says that the number
of strikes now on is an Indication that
we are in era of prosperity. That is a
new and no doubt an original observa-
ton, but it dosn't follow that it was
made by philosopher.
1t has always been held and accepted
as self-evident truth that the number
of strikes was indicative of commercial
and industrial standing in that the
more numerous were the strikes the
less prosperous was the country. Men
don't strike when they are satisfied,
and there are few reasons for dissatis-
faction when work is plenty, because
at such times the markets are good
and wages usually satisfactory.
But it is fact that this country has
entered upon an area of prosperity.
Everybody that wants work can find
it. Wages are going up instead of
down. Business men are busy and
laboring. Empty houses are few in
number and empty larders are fewer.
Each political party will construe the
situation to the satisfaction of it's own
prejudices and perhaps Eone will tell
the exact truth about it. But prosper
ity cannot be measured by the number
of men that quit work but rather by
the number working or going to work.

Our club came together in Hayes ice

Brady with an imitation golf cady, while
"Dutch" put "Doc" out with punch on
