In the course of a conference on

PROMISES ARE
BEING REDEEMED.

From every corner of the country
comes up the chorus of assurance that
prosperity is returning to us. The
tide turned some time ago; turned
despite the fact that "a national cam
paign was impending. 1t was not 20
be expected that it would reach flood
volume until the election was over;
but there was confident promise that
if the party of business administration
and sane policies were returned to
power, it would flow high and strong
and full
Confidence that this promise would
be redeemed was the real determining
factor in the campaign. The country
listened to the pledges which were
made In behalf OF Mr.. Taft, and de
cided to bet on them. That was about
the substance Of the matter. From the
hour when it became reasonably certain
that Taft would be elected, conditions
began TO improve. From the day he
was uoWu to be elected, they have
moved steadily and buoyantly upward.
Factories are openings orders are be-
ing crowded upon dealers and manufsc-
turers; railroads are buying new mate

TROUBLES HEADQUARTERS
IN ACTIVE ERUPTION.

Haiti has been one of the worlds
great headquarters of trouble pratt
caIly ever since the island was dis
covered by Columbus. The Spaniards
battled with The aborigines; then came
the Buccaneers to battle with the Span
iards; and then came the importations
Of human flesh from Africa to com
plete the elements Of anarchy and de
eeneracy. There was breathing spell
three-quarters of a century ago, but
when the c0mbatants had refreshed
themselves they proceeded to sail into
one another more desperately than ever.
The island has alternately borne the
little Of empire and republic ever since
it ceased to be a dependency, but, as
the present mix-up indicates, it is
hard to describe the exact political
status OF the place. 1t might be called
a national bear pit OF bull ring. Haiti's
only chance Of surviving these revolu-
tionary fits is 20 induce some able
bodied and level-headed power ike the
United States TO step in and use the
big stick freely. The BLACK Republic
is certainly "a terrible example of what
government by and for and of the
people should not be.
