A Great Commercial Opportunity

Within few years, provided the far
eastern war is not prolonged Indefinite
ly, expansion of the foreign trade of the
United States, of more Importance than
has been witnessed in decade, may rea-
sonably be looked for. A vast country,
now the scene of military operations on
large scale, will one day be in the
lead i'll new development. The rehabili-
tation OF Manchuria will call for the
expenditure of many millions of dollars,
the construction Of vast quantities Of
material, the employment Of thousands
Of men. New railroads will be built,
new cities will arise, and old enterprises
will be revived and restored to. their
former footing. A general upbuilding,
on scale much larger than that wit
messed in South Africa after. the close
of the Beer war, is in sight for the
country now in Estate Of decentralization
as to financial and commercial affairs.
There is an important difference in that
England and other European countries
were in more direct line for the advan-
tages arising from the work of South

of Manchuria and the surrounding
country it is the United States that is
in position to reap the benefits.

Politics and the Labor Market.

A good deal of the business effect of
the election was anticipated before that
event. There was not the usual hest
last election, at least not within two
or three weeks of the election. When
the campaign opened there was some
hesitancy, and in June a good many
men were thrown out of work by a
lull in business, attributable in part at
least to the uncertainty of the political
situation. Perhaps the heaviest reduc-
tion in labor circles fell upon the rail
road men, some 10000 of them having
been dropped in the spring and early
summer. Within a~month, however,
of election day the confidence felt in
business circles began to show itself
in Wall street in the revival of stocks,
while business generally exhibited none
Of Che unfavorable features SO common
in presidential years. -, r.. ,.--r.
Now that the election is over, the
confidence felt before the result was
known has been strengthened and thou
sands of men are finding work all over
the country. This revival in IA Ilroad
circles is particularly noticeable. For
instance, the Pennsylvania company,
which made the most sweeping reduc-
ton early in the year, has recently
added to it's payroll 1900 men, the
New York Central 5000, the Reading
system 5000, and other lines many
thousands more, Heavy, orders for in
creased equipment are. being: given by
various roads, and the prospects for
heavy traffic. are promising,
Of course, not all of this is to be
attributed to the election. The crops
of the country generally are heavy and
promise a large volume of traffic; but
| along with this important factor must
be taken into account the confidence
which pervades business circles on &C.
count of the assured maintenance of
sound business principles under repub-
lican administrative policies. Conf
dence in business circles is what leads
to development, the Inauguration of
new enterprises and the expansion of
trade, and to the generation of this
confidence by the political result, bust
ness men generally attribute in large
degree the advance in the labor market

AT THE THEATERS
MetropoIltan-Frank Daniels In "The
Office Boy"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Daniels In 1.-THE
Office Boy"
There is nothing to it but laughter
when Frank Daniels Is performing. Per
forming Is the word, for this little old
farceur was never any one else but Frank
Daniels, In all his long stage career, from
Old Sport in IA Rag Baby" to the office
boy in the present concocdon. Whatever
the character, whatever the situations.
whatever the accessories, he is always and
forever the same in method and in man
ner. He can impersonate no one but
Frank Daniels, yet he stands unique and
alone amid the storms of laughter that
rage around him. II one were to itemize
his laugh makers marvellous control of
facial muscles would head the list. This
Is wonderful enough to make an anato-
mist gasp-it he weren't busy laughing
Try lifting your eyebrows alternately and
see how difficult it is. His face has been
so thoroly exercised and developed that
each separate muscle stands out like
those on an athletes back. The con-
stantly changing play of expression on
those features is a whole show in itself
And then, Daniels can compress more
grotesque expressiveness into a swagger-
ing walk across the stage or grandilo-
quent gesture than most comedians. He
can dance with lightfooted grace when
he tries, and can sing with some melo-
diousness, when the spirit Of burlesque is
not upon him.
But the Daniels humor has no intellec-
tual basis. It is mere grotesquer1e car
ried to absurd lengths, Early in the
game he selects few strings, which he
| industriously and necessarily tWangs thru
| out the whole performance. And, too,
an occasional touch of vulgarity Is per-
mftted to mar the effect His osculatory
| feats last night were, to say the least, not
refined, while some OF his references to
his pants undeniably funny, were at
the same time vulgar.

New Southern Labor Movement.

Mr.. Walter Fleming, discussing the
subject of farm labor in the southern
states in the World Today magazine,
states that, on account Of the drift of
negro labor to the cities and towns
and it's growing ineffciency on cotton
and sugar plantations, and the losses
entailed by deficiency Of hands in the
contemplating season, the planters are
looking to Italian immigration to sup
ply their needs, and it is estimated that
there are now over 100000 Italian agri-
cultural laborers in the southern states
of the Mississippi valley, while one
steamship company has arranged to To-
cate forty or fifty thousand families Of
Italian laborers in Texas.
The planters are said to be heartily
In favor of substituting Italian for
negro labor, upon which they have de-
pended for so long time, as the new
corners work better than the negro,
keep crops in better cultivation and
the livestock is in better condition.
They live much more economically than
the negro and buy small farms of their
own as soon as they get the funds.
Southern state authorities have taken
a hand in the movement and are en-
deavoring to divert Italian immigra-
ton from the northern states. It is
expected that southern Italy will sup
ply enough laborers for the cotton and
sugar plantations, and it will not be
difficult to start the people Of that
section Of the peninsula westward, as
they are the poorest class in Italy, sub
sist largely on corn and beans, and
many of them are familiar with the
cultivation of sugarcane, rice and cot
ton and with viticulture and the max
ing of wine.
What will be the result Of crowding
the negro out Of the agricultural labor
market by the introduction Of white
laboring class? So far, it is said that
the Italians on the plantations get
along peaceably beside the negro anC
have little to do with them; but if the
displacement develops into what the
planters expect it will, and the negroes
crowd excessively into the cities, there
is no doubt that the negro question viii
affict the southern people in still
more acute form. There is danger, in
deed, that a new racial conflict will
ultimately develop between the Latir
and negro races. In getting rid of ne
gro labor on the plantations, the south
will have another race to deal with
which has tendency to combination
and a tendency to acquire land, ant
which may prove more intractable thar
the long suffering negro.

How little the turkey knows.
Lumbermen Going Slow.

From the various centers of the north
ern pine area come reports that the pro-
duction Of logs this winter will be much
reduced. This is sort of wolf story,
heard almost every year, but it. seems
that this year there is good foundation
for the report. The reduction comes
mainly in districts where the merchant
ablo timber has been practically cleaned
out, but where operations are still in
progress there is disposition to reduce
their volume.
Consumers need not be alarmed over
this. The worst thing that could hap
pen to the general public would be the
speedy clearing of the remaining pine
areas in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
reduction in log cut is not due to con-
certed action by ''lumber trust' in
order to raise prices. The time has gone
by VIXEN the white pine mills can con-
troll prices. There is an overproduction
OF Timber or the Pacific coast, and even
with the heavy freight rate now exacted
much Of the western lumber is coming
into this territory. White pine prices
cannot advance on account of this COM
petition, and that of yellow pine from
the south, which is being sold right in
Minneapolis. This reduced production
of white pine is decided on mainly be-
cause the current year has been a poor
one for the lumber market, and prices
!. have become demoralized. The white
pine men are willing to go slow in order
to get what their product is worth.
The general public is quite willing to
see them 81 slow. The consumer gets
l,o benefit from weakened prices unless
there is a general and permanent reduc-
tion. The retail dealer does not like a
Wobhly'' market on which his COM
petitor may secure an advantage.
Looking ahead, there are even strong
or reasons FOR rejoicing in the conserva-
tism Of the lumbermen. While there
is still lumber manufactured within
Minnesota prices will not advance much,
but as soon as the local mills 90 out of
business the consumers will have to paw
