IN EcENTLY the writer heard ans
- tinguished capitalist remark
IN that a period Of depression
was coming in tho very
near future. The same capitalist
made q similar remark two years ago
and for the last four or five years the
prophecy has been thnt the proVaillhg
prosperity must in the nature Of things
be followed by period OF depression
But prophet who would name the ilme
when The present period Of prosperity
will pass away would be bold indeed.
a statement often MADE when recog-
MIXING the great progress, or increase IN
production, trade commerce, traiiic OF
all kinds Is that the prevailing pros
perity is apparent and not real Just
what the difference is between apparent
and real prosperity Is quite difficult to
define. The purpose OF this paper Is TO
analyze some OF the tendencies which
must be recognized relative to the pre-
yailing prosperity and it's duration ana
whether IL Is real or apparent.
Economic history clearly shows that
depressions Of the past In the mnnufac-
turing OF the world have been nearly or
quite contemuoraneous In their occur
renee. This history may be stated con-
cretely az follows:

II is the apprehension. the psycholo-

PROHIBITION Fight
IN TENNESSEE
Liquor May Be Wiped Out
of The Four Cities.
Where It Is Permitted Under The Law
After November |.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 8. (Spec-
iaD-Particular attention has been
attracted toward the South recently
because of the decision of the Ten
nessee Supreme Court declaring what
is known as the Pendleton law to be
constitutional.
Under the terms of this act, and
also the Adams local option act and
the Foust law, which have been OPP
erative in the State, the Pendleton
statute enacted by the Tennessee leg
islature last spring makes manda-
tory the abolition of saloons in all
cities in Tennessee of 100000 inhab-
itants or less hereafter incorporat-
ed" it being an amendment to the So
called Adams law which inhibited sa-
looms in all towns of 5000 or less
population.
1t is a virtual extension of the
'four-mile" law to all cities in the
State.
Under the provisions of this law
the same legislature repealed the
charters of the cities of Knoxville,
Bristol, GAINESVILLE, Columbia and
Jackson, and enacted new charters,
which by virtue of the Pendleton
laws provisions, prohibit saloons
within the cities boundaries.
After November / saloons will ex-
list in Tennessee only in Memphis,
Nashville, Chattanooga and LaFol-
lette, The 'four-mile" provision in
the Adams law forbids a saloon
within four miles of a town which
really puts a saloon out of business.
Knoxville voted on the prohibition
question last March and the "drys"
won nearly two to one after one of
the most memorial days in the his
tory of that city. A parade two miles
in length, and made up of old men,
young men, women and children
passed through the principal streets,
carrying emblems and banners.

Effect on Politics.

simultaneously with the decision
on the Pendleton law came the an
nouncement that ex-United States
Senator Edward W. Carmack would
enter the field for the nomination of
Governor. The term of Malcolm r.
Patterson will expire in January
1903, but the campaign will begin at
once.
Mr., Carmaek is a pronounced foe
of the liquor men, and in speeches
during the campaign of 1906 he
made bitter and singing illusions to
those engaged in the trade. Exon
gresham Patterson, while not so
pronounced in his views, was sup
ported by the prohibition and local
option Democrats against General H.
Clay Evans, Republican, for Cover
nor
The Republicans had some hope of
winning, but the Prohibitionists were
with the Democrats, and thus were
enabled to carry tAe Legislature by
a combination which resulted in the
drastic laws now in force. Pattef-
son had 1882 majority, which is
| about normal for a Democratic can
didate. The vote of the State in re-
cent years has been: 1904, Governor,
Democrat, 1871, 593; Republican, 103,-
433; 1902, Democrat, for Governor,
9S,954; Republican, $4,000; 1900, for
Governor, Democrat 145, 708; Repub-
lican, 1881. So it would seem that
the alliance with the anti-Iiquor ele-
ment has not weakened the Demo-
cracy
This matter is one that is being
watched closely in the North, as a
break would be quickly taken advan-
tage of. The Chattanooga Times has
sounded an alarm on the question OF
prohibition running mad. 1t says, in
a recent issue:
In the circumstances existing
here we believe that the majority oil
the people will prefer a full and fail
test of the present excise system es-
tablished by the Foust law to max
ing any venture into prohibition. Al
least that would be the sensible anC
: wise thing to do. Fair and rigid reg
ulation and enforcement of our pres
ent laws will very much better serve
the purpose of practical temperance
than the inauguration of the club,
the blind tiger and the "boot-legger. -

Underground Wires.

The board of city aldermen
met last Monday night. Much
business was transacted, includ-
ing the regular reports and or
ders regarding streets and hyd-
rants, and many small matters
of routine city business.
Probably the most important
action was the passing of a reso-
luton requiring the Interstate
Telephone Company to show
cause why they should not place
their wires under the ground.
This action was taken, says the
resolution, in consideration of the
fact that the city is spending
much money to beautify the
streets and that the telephone
poles detract much from its ap-
pearence. No definite action was
taken but the matter is left open
so that the telephone people may
present their side of the matter.
Other matters considered by
the aldermen was the increasing
of the appropriation of money to
Lincoln hospital from s75 to S125
per month, and an address by
DIR. J. J. Wolfe, of the Biological
department of Trinity College on
the subject Of pure milk supply
and sanitation law. No action
was taken on the latter question.
