, ceived that business prospects were
not so roseate as many men OF large
affairs were proclaiming. / now de-
sire to take issue with many of the
same men who are declaring at pres
ent that 1911 Is To be a bad year. On
the whole conditions seem sound with
nothing within my puiyiew to cause
alarm Why others are filling the
newspapers with pessimism ! am I'M
able to understand
Possibly these others to whom the
veteran financier and executive head
Of the steel trust refers are not really
as pessimistic as they profess, just as
it is altogether probable that Judge
Gary is not as ignorant OF their mo
tives as he pretends TO be. AT any
rate his note Of warning at the be-
ginning Of 1910 was in large meas
ure justified by the results, and ac-
cording to the signs and omens at
present visible on the Industrial hori-
zon 1911 promises to be- one Of the
most prosperous years in.the annals OF
the American Industrial world. It is
true there are times when all signs
fail and omens are as barren Of their
usual fruitage as the gray gooses
honk in early autumn.
If kind Providence will assure a
late spring and keep the demagogue
in his hole until the crops are made
and the legislatures and congress ad-
journ, it is fairly certain that the
wheels of industry will hum in 1911,
and forges and factories will, roar as
they have not done in many years.

force to Chickasha:
To beautify your own property and
incidentally Muslsogee, trees. should be
planted next month and if a general
movement were gotten up for an
Arbor day in Muskogee the initiative
step toward a more beautiful city
would be taken.
It is the outward and visible sign
that bespeazs the inward and spirit
ual grace and if this next month i
were possible to plant ten thousand
trees In this city, in less than five
years, Aluskogee would be pointed out
as the most beautiful city in the
southwest. The trees themselves cost
but little and Systematically along the
streets and avenues where none now
exist, the city would soon present a
magnificent aspect and would attract
attention.
An ~Arbor day with all Of the
property owners banded together as

ever seen it rain. Somebody said:

it rain?"
