Neither Riccrdo nor Olive played

woRLD-WIDE PRosPERITY.

Probably at no time in the history
Of the world have the people Of the
various countries been so well fed and
clothed as at present. The prosperous
conditions prevailing in the United
States are duplicated abroad. and are
the subject OF comment by returning
travellers

trip IN an optimistic frame OF mind.
He visited France. Germany. Russia.

prosperous conditions existing I'm each

Thompson was naturally interested IN
the increased consumption OF copper

Like Senator Depew and other close
observers who have been abroad this
summer. Mr.. Thompson believes that

many millions fin stocks and bonds
have been placed in that country dur

the foreigners have no fears regarding
the stability Of the American railroads
and Industrial corporations.

strained toward this country's politics.
The Taft administration is sound, and
II Il is given a congress of sound busi-
ness men and not politicians and law

litical situation"
Undoubtedly tho administration of
President Taft is regarded as sound
by the business world of Europe. That
is probably why the French capitalists
are willing and even anxious TO invest
their money over here. They want to
share in the prosperity.
One other observation OF Mr..
Thompson Is OF more than passing in
terest, and that Is that 10 per cent Of
the worlds copper consumption IS
used in the fields and orchards. and
that the growth of the agricultural

As further proof OF the wisdom Of
this act Of Congress news comes from
Beverly that President Taft will soon
issue an executive order putting all

Such action is recommended by
