Factories which shut down or went on

Factories which shut down or went on
short time, are again starting up or rnn-
ming full time and business confidence
is being restored. The fundamental
sources of confidence is in the enormously
large balance of trade in our favor

The money conditions will probably be

dividends which necessarily force banks
to increased holdings. The administra'
ton is inclined to advance the construct

and other improvements rather than to
multiply unnecessary and costly public
buildings which do not increase the pro-
ductive power of the country. All told
the business situation is so far improved
that the Calamity Howlers are going to

Beginning of An Exciting War.

Events leading up to this exciting
war should be cited briefly. To go
away back, it may be stated that from
time immemorial the human race has
regarded itself as superior to the so
called lower animals, including orioles,
has been that men are guided by rea-
son. while beasts and birds are CON
trolled by mere instinct. A few years
ago several writers appeared whose
books tended to upset this time hon
ored theory. They put forth animals
that talked English without the jun
gle accent, organized governments, es-
tabliShed schools and in other ways
stealthiIy usurpcd human prerOgatives.
This was all right so long as the sto-
ries were admittedly fables, like Rud-
yard Kipling's Jungle Book. says
Mr.. Roosevelt, but as official spokes-
man for the human race the president
found it Il part of his duty to protest
vigorously when certain writer's stat
ed in the pTefaces to their books that
the statements as to animal intelli-
gence contained therein were gospel
truth.
John Burroughs. the gentle old na-
tnre lover of West Park, \. Y, threw
the first bomb into the nature taking
camp. 1t should be remembered that

and literally, and the Roosevelt garri-
son giving back no return fire. Let no
rank outsider presume to say why.
The Rey. Mr.. Long, who is entitled
to be called DR. Long because he is
doctor of philosophy from Heidelberg
is forty years old and full of fight. He
is Il native of Massachusetts a Sradu-
ate of Harvard, Congregational cler-
gyman and 4 lifelong frequenter of the
woods and the wilderness. For few
years he was pastor of church ut
Stamford, but he is not preaching at
present. He gave up his pulpit three
years ago because of failing eycSight.
Much outdoor exercise since then has
restored his optical vigOr and his gen
cral health, so that he is now six foot
athlete, weighing about 10 pounds
and capable of writing. fighting or do
ing any other strenuous work to the
limit
DR.. Long did not begin preaching in
early youth. He spent his time in
studying books until he was past thir-
ty-that is, the time he could spare
from the woods.
Every year for the last thirty
years" he says, II have SpeLt from

for a magazine. ParsOn Long picked
up the glove and hurled it back ut the
president with extraordinary yehe-
mence. So the war Is on.
Already the slaughter of words has
been terrific. At Mr. Longs first as
sault more words fell than men at Get
tysburg. The casualties We're about
10000, covering whole newspaper
page. But Commander Long still has
an abundance of linguistic reserves,
and the campaign continues. 1t is said
that he speaks six languages ana reads
as many more. 1t is not likely that
President Roosevelt when he charged
Mr.. Long with being a nature fakir
was aware of this
Rock Island Argus., 1907-06-21

fore, that men who write such tales
with the truth label in the preface do
not know the heart of the wild things"
That gives Mr. Long an opening. He
comes back at the president with a
stiff counter swipc To the effect that
Mr.. Roosevelt knows the heart of the
wild things by putting bullets into
each heart that comes within his rifle
range. Whereupon the preacher quotes
from the presidents books to prove
that this is the presidential method of
acquiring wild heart lore, and no affi-
davitS are needed.
Mr.. Roosevelt in firing his magazine
rifle at Mr.. Long intimated. though in
Il more dignitied manner. that he was
from Missouri and would have to he
shown. Mr.. Long must produce afiida.
Wits of eyewitnesscs before the preSi-
dent could believe such stories.
Straightway Mr.. Long produced the
affidavit of an educated Indian. poor
but honest, who, being duly sworn, de-
posed and said that he had seen wolves
kill horses by biting them through the
chest \ horse of course is not q carl

famous Black forests against the pres

kota, his mountain lion stalking i'll Col
orado and his bear batting in the Mis-
sissippi canebrakes. Having offered
these opposing exhibits, Mr.. Long asks
the public to decide who's who' in
the big woods.
The president finds fault with the
preacher because in one of the latter'S
books there is statement that once a
big lynx made him uncomfortable
by following him for a long distance
in the northern woods when he was
unarmed. y lynx, says the president,
is no more to be feared than a back
yard tomcat, or words to that effect.
Thereupon the party of the other part
asks Mr.. Roosevelt if he ever saw one
of the really truly big lynXeS in the
