SO far as the general situation is
concerned the real tendency is to-
wards Improvement, says Henry
| Clews. The interior is already begin
ming TO feel the stimulus Of a salts
factory harvest. The west has cut
loose from politics; seems unconcerned
about the money outlook, and is alto
gether in a decidedly more hopeful
frame of mind. The recession i'm BUSH
ness at the West has been much light
er than at the East, and the general
feeling in that section is that the tide
has turned, and that from now on i'm
provement will be in order At the
South conditions are generally salts
factory chiefly because of the gen.
eral profits realized I'm cotton grow
ing. There is a Singular absence of
complaints Of any kind from that
quarter. In the East, where depres-
sion has been much the keenest, the
Indications Of revival are becoming
more pronounced. Trade is still be-
low the volume Of several preceding
years, but here, too, are indications of
turn in the tide. The steel industry
must still be considered one Of our best
trade barometers. II is stated that on
ly 60 per cent Of the blast furnace ca
pacity Of the great Steel Corporation
is now being operated. In various di-
rections, however, signs of betterment
are multiplying. The inquiry for pig
iron during the last week has shown a
decided revival. indicating that indus
trial establishments see better times
ahead. Moreover, before very long the
railroads are likely to enter the market
as larger purchasers, and their trans
actions are always the most important
and significant factors I'm the steel in
dustry. For many months the railroads
have curtailed purchases and postpon-
ed improvements as far as possible.
Such economy cannot go on Indefinite
ly, and ere long we are likely to see an
accumulation OF orders that will i'm
part old-time activity to our steel
mills. For reasons Of their own the
railroads have further delayed the
placing Of orders until having some
idea as TO what the outcome would be
or their claims for better rates before
the Interstate Commission. These de-
cisions may be expected soon after the
elections. In all probability the rail
roads will obtain some concessions;
while traffic has been so well sustain
ed I'm spite Of the recent depression I'm
trade that dividend rates have not
been at any time seriously imperilled.

The Republican party's candidate for
governor is one Of the ablest men that
can be found within the boundary lines
OF Michigan, declares the Lansing
state Republican. He has declared
that he will sweep the state house Of
every political cobweb, and every in
efficient employe; said il in a manner
That can leave no possible doubt OF his
sincerity, for he made the statement
with a full knowledge that it meant
n loss OF votes 20 him at both the
primaries and the election, but he has
also said that he cares naught for
the office Of governor for the COVER
norship itself. but for the good he
believes he can do the state as n
progressive, fearless executive, and
there can be no doubt that he means
just what he says.

Granting that the project of crush
ing rock at the Marquette prison for
good roads construction is feasible,
and granting that there will be a de-
mand for the rock that can be pro-
duced, what are some OF the things
that loom up as arguments against the
plan? asks the Marquette Mining
Journal For one thing it will mean a
large increase to the state in the cost
of maintaining the prison. The rock,
if the Illinois plan is followed, will
be given To whatever counties Of the
state want il. if they will only pay the
freight. All the men employed on the
quarrying and incidental work will
have To be supported by money raised
by tax levy, as there will be no income
for their labor. There are many peo-
pie who believe that any change i'm the
present system of employing convict
labor should be in the direction of
making IL more nearly self-supporting
than it is now, instead of making the
maintenance OF the prisons even more
burdensome to the state These peo-
pie viii hardly be enamored of the
rock crushing project. This is but one
of many objections to il that call for
careful consideration. OF course, it has
distinct advantages, too, and it will
require a careful weighing TO deter
mine where the balance lies. The
plan has been urged off and on for two
or three years past. The prison labor
commission and the legislature should
now proceed TO give il a searching in
yestigation, weighing all the pros and
cons, and finally disposing of it one
way or another, as the fullest data
and information they can obtain
seems TO indicate is wise.

HURT THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

"Nickel theaters have done more
to injure the saloon business in Chi
Cago than any other factor ever did"
says Edward F. KEELING, chief in
spector of amusement places in Chi
cago. "T suppose it is the same in
every other city. No one realizes
this better than do the saloon keep
ers and they are almost invariably
opposed to the locating of a nickel
theater in their neighborhood.- In
some instances single five-cent the
alter is said to have cut the business
of several nearby saloons practically
In half. The work of these theaters
for temperance seems to me more
effective than organizations, orators
or noisy crusaders. The theater
forms a counter attraction to the sa-
Loom"

TRAP FOR sHEEP-KILLERs.

A Pike county farmer solved the
sheep-killing dog problem in a sue
cessful way. After he had lost 80
sheep he built in the pasture a
square pen of logs and rooted it,
but left a big hole in the middle in
which he suspended a part of a
sheep. Nearly every morning when
he went to the pen he found one or
more dogs in there, which he quietly
put out of business. In the course
of the winter he caught about 40
dogs and didn't lose any more sheep.
Moreover, he kept on good terms
with his neighbors, which is hard
thing to do if you shoot their dogs
and go around Dragging about it.

FARMING NO IDLE DREAs
Money In II, But obtainable Only ~
Pluck, Hard Work and
Thrift.

Reading of the abundant wheat
crops to be produced from the irri-
gated soil in parts of Alberta, the
toiler of the hot cities on the sea-
board dreams of starting life anew
on the wide prairies and in the cool
valleys of Canada. If he is young
he may turn the dream into reah-
ty. He may succeed. If he is old
enough the disillusioning laws Of
averages occur to his longer expert
ence and teach him caution.
There have been stories, and true
stories, of lands in Texas which pro-
duce $500 in onions to the acre.
Thousands of settlers have paid in
three years for their farms in Okla
homa by growing wheat, corn or hay.
There are apple orchards in New
York and others in Nova Scotia
which have brought fortunes to the
owners, just as there are nut planta-
tons in California. One needs NO
long journey to learn of remarkable
production. In New Jersey and on
the Delaware peninsula men have
often Melted 5000 or $500 an acre
from cantaloupes or sweet potatoes,
peaches or peas. Hundreds of COM
Portable homes have been construct
ed from the profits of Strawberries.
In the south cotton has made q con-
siderable capitalist of many a poor
man is less time than that which
elapses between one presidential
election and another.
Yet the ancient law of industry
is unchanged. Watchful attention,
hard work, thrift and pluck gather
the profits.
Wherever you are there are oppor-
tunities and compensations, difficult
ties and drawbacks. If the cities
are hot and progress to fortune slow,
there are amusements and comforts
to which Alberta and Texas are
strangers, and will be for genera
tions. In the life of every family
there are moments when to be with
in block of skilled physician or
within sight of hospital is worth
1000 acres of wheat land. Dream
of Alberta as you once dreamed Of
the Klondike. 1t is good to dream.
While the dreams are mentally
stimulating, so also are the contra
dieting thoughts of the things which
might be worse if one could go to
the land of dreams.-Philsde

ASKED FOR WORK, NOT FOOD
Why John Mitchell Did Not Fall Into
the Ways Of tho
Tramp. ~

1t was while en- route, sometimes
as a pedestrian and at other times
riding the rods or the bumpers or in
the more comfortable shelter afford
ed by the interior of freight car,
that the demoralizing and degrading
effects Of unemployment were first
brought under my observation
says John Mitchell in the Circle. l
came in contact with hundreds of
young and middle aged men who,
like myself, had either from choice
or necessity left their homes to seek
the more alluring fields of the west.
Most of these travellers were without
funds and it can be readily under
stood that it was difficult for so
many to find temporary employment
that would enable them to provide
themselves with food. AS a conse-
quence many of these men, either
through their inability to find work
or because in their anxiety to reach
the new Ell Dorado they were I'M
willing to be delayed by the slow
process of seeking some work to do
every time they found it necessary
to satisfy their hunger, adopted the
custom of the professional tramp
and, instead of asking for work,
asked for food or solicited money
from the residents of the towns
through which they passed.
Here let it be recorded that in no
instance have | ever seen OF known
a man to ask for bread or for money
with which to buy bread that the
performance did not cause marked
shock to his finer feelings and de-
terioration in his character.
L have often felt that L owed to
my stepmother at least one great
debt of gratitude in that she taught
me to work. This lesson, along with
the spirit of independence inherited
from my father, saved me, no doubt,
from falling into the great error of
asking for or accepting food instead
of asking for and insisting upon
work.
