COLUMBUS, o., June 23.-That tho
nation is about 70 enter upon an
other debauch of prosperity Is tho
prediction of some of our political
prophets.
II may be doubted whether the ma
lion at large has ever seen such a
measure OF excessive prosperity rs
could fairly be called dobauch.
In the years preceding 1907 times
we're fairly prosperous; work was
plenty and wages were good, but
prices were so high that working peo-
pie were by no means surfeited with
luxury For the great masses of the
people. through all this period. frugal

Virtues of every day,

These men ought to be represen-
tatiye Of the biggest and strongest or

Thus spoke +. A. Filene, father of
the famous Boston.19l5 plan, whereby
everybody in Boston is 10 work to

city is to be turned into an exhibition

sorts of organizations in the city-un-

Leave politics alone. 1t will take
care OF itself, when the people are IN

"By talking together. representa-
itives of these organizations will dis
cover that many OF them have been
aiming at the same improvements AMI
betterments, and did not know that
any other organization in the city was
working along the same lines.
"A main committee will gradually
grow out OF this common desire 10
combine efforts.
I'm Boston much OF the money need
ed at first was donated by business
men. We are getting to place where
we shall call for public contributions.
If our plan Is right. we won't have any
trouble in getting money in this way.
Constant advertising is necessary
at first. This, at last, will awaken,
interest.
And the secret OF the success OF
the whole thing will be that II will
be poor form, poor manners, for any
citizen not to want TO help Boston,
not to feel that Boston is part his and
that he owes il something.

Are Boston business leaders ad-
vising men to join unions?'
"Of course. The first thing to do
in our plan is TO better the condition
az the working man and give him a
chance to better himself. The manu-
facturer who has the best factory In
