Mr.. Arson Flower, who succeeded the
late Roswell p. Flower in Wall street,
has returned to the street after his sum-
mer vacation. IN speaking OF the gen.
eral outlook for business, he says
"Tl,e general conditions If the country
we're never more prosperous. Business is
booming IN every direction. There is
fairnne in the iron market Manufactur-
ers cannot begin TO fiji their orders. The
Federal Steel Company has been obliged
10 decline foreign orders, because II can
not supply the home market. Its orders
are booked for months ahead. This same
condition applies TO almost every branch
of trade The crops are moving without
any special disturbance to the money

will be no stringency. The country is so
fun of money that it is taking care OF
the crop movement without difficulty, and
the movement Is now taking place rap
idly"
No one knows what a day may bring
forth. but II there are any clouds on the
business horizon now, they are not visi-
bic to the naked eye.

REAL SOUTHERN PROGRESS

The Times is deeply interested in every
movement in the South that tends to pro-
mote Southern progress and industry. We
do net believe that the South is going TO
be helped by national legislation, but If
our people will only take advantage Of
the great resources and opportunities that
God has given them and depend upon
their own brain and Drawn they will
make the South the most prosperous sec
ton Of the Union.
An industrial convention Is TO be held
at Huntsville. Ala, on October 10th and
a number Of distinguished speakers will
address themselves TO the following sub
iects:
/. Why cotton factories should be built
in the South
2. The Iron industries Of the South.
3. The opportunities Of the South for
economic wool growing and spinning.
4. The timber interest Of the Sorth.
5. The phosphate industry of the South.
G. Immigration to the South.
Z. The need Of Industrial education for
the South
s. The railroads of the South and their
relations to it's development.
.. The agriculture of the South and
how It may be improved.
TO- The race problem OF the South.
II. Legislation Of the South. as affect
ing capital and corporations in the South.
r. The horticultural interests Of the
South
49, The relation Of the South to the in
dustriaI wants Of South American coun-
tries
A. Poultry raising in the South.
15 Stock raising in the South.
&c. SIX culture in the South
IT, Dlversifylng the industries Of the

ton to industrial development
90 The schools Of the South.
2l. Law and order in the South
= ne Iulutldl ItruulttS VI lut fopAltls
o. The pottery interests Of the South.
IT is a good sign that those who have
arranged the programme have seen III to
call attention to the need Of industrial
education: 20 the railroads of the South
and their relation 10 its development: to
the legislation of the South as affecting
capital and corporations in the South.
The South cannot hope TO attain TO the
greatest measure Of success in Industrial
development until it shah have full
supply OF educated workmen. Nor can It
hope to develop, as 1t is entitled to de.
velop If IT antagonize railroads and Grip
pie them in their operations. for railroads
are the greatest Of all factors in the de
yelopment Of the country through which
they pass. Nor can the South hope TO be
an attractive section TO capitalists, If its
laws are so framed as TO hinder enter.
Prise.
such conventions as that which is TO
be held at Huntsville will do the South
much good.

Imperative Mandate Single Tax" Non

bor." Each speaker was limited to ten
minutes, with twenty minutes for discussion
under the three minute rule. Rev. II. W.
Thomas of Chicago presided and discussed
Expansion and Mil!tarism." Mr.. Thomas
was one of the first to espouse the cause Of
the Cubans. In speaking Of the war in the
in the history of the United States. AS mil
itarism tends. to despotsm, he opposed it,
believing that ,industrialism means democ-
racy and the preservation of the liberties OF
the people. During Dr. Thomas remarks
not a syllable. of tapplause greeted Admiral
Dewey's name. William J. Ghent of New
York took the opposite side of the question
and declared that popular, sympathy was
with the government.
when it is possible" said Mr.. Ghent,
"for a man to mention the magnificent vic
tory of Dewey, without the loss Of n nan
or ship, and to speak of the great victory at
Santiago, where not ship was lost and
only one life was lost--when this Is posi-
BILE in this country without a single sign of
applause, say to you that it simply illus
trates the impotence Of the body before
which the remarks were made"

CAPTIvES GET FAIR PLAY
Charge that Four Prisoners Were
Shot IL Not Sustained by
m Investigation.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Dean C. Worcester,
member of the Philippine commission, today
cabled the Times Herald denying the reports
that Philippine prisoners were shot by Amer
ican officers. This was in response to in
quiries sent by II. II. Kohlsaat as follows:
WORCESTER, Manila.-Charles Brenner
Minneapolis, Kan, writes home Company
| had four prisoners and did not know what
to do with them. They asked Captain
Bishop what to do. He said: You know
orders, and four natives fell dead" Cable
the truth. KOHLSAAT.
Commissioner Worcester's answer folowe:
MANILA, June 29.-Kohlsaat Editor
Times Herald, Chicago: The original state
ment of Brenner is untrue. Brenner's
charge was promptly investigated by the
military authorities here. No facts were as
certained to support the charge at the time
of first inquiry. but the investigation has
been renewed and is being prosecuted Wig
orously and extensively. This investigation
has not yet been completed Brenners S
charge has some semblance of truth, for
prisoners were shot In the heat of battle for
refusing to pass to the rear when ordered
to do So
This matter is being probed to the bot
tom. 1t is an isolated case. The Inhabitants
Of the towns recently captured had been
maltreated, robbed and left destitute by the
insurgents.
The natives rejoice at the arrival of the
American troops who neither burn their
homes nor loot their property and who
feed the hungry. The inhabitants are re-
suming their ordinary occupations and ready
to cooperate with us.
The wounded insurgents are brought to
Manila, where they receive the same care
and attention as our own wounded.

rifles They are, however. full of patri-
otsm and state they will not yield to the
Americans though the whole of the islands
