National Prosperity Association
Not Backward in Warm
SeIf-Praise.

ST, LOUIS, Nov. 15.-President T..
NJ. Simmons of tho National Prosperity
association today made public letter,
which he has sent to all members of
the association, announcing the com
plction of its work.
The association, says the letter, pre-
vented President Roosevelt from sond
ing any moro messages to congress that
had the appearance OF an attack on
large corporations.
The letter Of President Simmons In
part follows:
"The work of the National Prosper
itv association is finished.
"The object for which il was organ
lied, namely, TO hasten the return of
prosperity, has been accomplished Re
suits far better than we had expect
ed were obtained. Among the most
important of these was the visit of
his not sending any more messages to
congress or doing anything that had the
appearance OF being an attack upon
railroads OF other large corporations.
perhaps the most important thing
is the change in public sentiment
toward railroads and large corporations
especially IN the south and south
west. Muck -rakers' have ceased to
show their heads; demagogues have
oujt talking. and very healthy state
of mind prevails toward these indus
tries, whereas, previous TO our work,
there was vicious antagonlsm clearly
evident among the masses of the peo-
ple, most of Whom held their views or
opinions without giving the subject
proper thought.
1--WE confidently believe the work of
the association has. in great measure,
prepared the commercial mind of this
country for the quick return OF 4 full
measure of prosperity.
