AN PROSPERITY.

The oceans call it to the mountains
and the m~ountains proclaim it to the
valleys and the prairies that the sun
of prosperity shines in vitalizing
splendor over the length and breadth
of our land. From the lakes to the
gulf and from the easternmost APP
palachians to the snowy Sierras OF the
furtherest southwest bountiful nature
has lavishly rewarded the toll of the
husbandman, and roads r choked
with endless cars of grain, and mill
and factory are alive with efforts to
supply their products, and work is
seeking for laborers, but finding them
not.
The contrast, as President Taft
pointed out at Altoona, Pa, between
1912 and 1862 10 startling. Then the
nation was fighting for its life and
doubtful of the outcome. Industry
was in full blast, but it vas industry
mainly for destructive purposes in
war and the prosperity of the north
was more specious than sound and
that of the south was ruined. This
year, however, the redeemed and re-
united nation IL one of the greatest
nations of the world. and its prosper.
ity is constructive, solid and uni
versal, shared by the south as fully
az by the north, and including western
territory that then was peopled only
by roaming savaRes.
Looking abroad, too, In addition to
comparing our prosperity now with
our own then the contrast is strength
ened. England has suffered the wors,
harvest since 1879 and agriculture q
conditions in other countries OF the
European continent are anything bu,
good. Their misfortune is our gain,
for they must purchase heavily Of
American crops, which in themselves
are worth over 90, 0O0, 600. 900 this year,
and thus increase the prosperity Of
the American farmer and indirectly
aid that of the entire country. China
India and Japan have also suffered
from bad harvests.
The picture of American prosperity
this year has been painted by fortune
with pigments OF gold. The nation il

capitalist alike are 80 busy cleaning

"PLAYiNG THE GAME"
Truly, President Taft Does Not Follow
System Politically.

That is a criticism often heard of
President Taft. 1t is the professional
politician usually who voices it. but
often it is repeated by those who are
accustomed to take their estimates of
public men and their political opin-
ions from others.
Playing the game has been the &C.
cupation of time serving politicians
from time immemorial. Men who re-
gard politics as a game like to see it
played deftly. Other men without
fixed ideas on the subject parrot the
criticism passed by the experts.
Playing the game in politics neces-
| sarily has deceit as its fundamental
principle.
The public mar who sees develop
ing an issue might prove embarrassing
to him personally, and who manages,
by guile, to divert public attention to
another, a lesser, but a perfectly safe,
issue, plays the game.
The public mar who makes public
pro~testations of his enmity toward
swollen wealth and then holds secret
conferences with the representatives
of that wealth, plays the game.
The public nan who breaches one
code of political morality and prac-
tees another plays the game.
The public nan who utters sound
ing but empty phrases, no matter how
delightful his diction, or how superb
his e~loquence, plays the game.
The public man who makes prom
ises impossible of fulfllment plays the
game.
The public mar who puts the &C.
ouirement of public favor above ideals
Of public service plays the game.
Truly, President Taft does not know
how to play the game.
He has been reared in at atmos.
phere of service rather than politics
As we have come to know politics
The thing that has always concerned
him is the doing of an act, not tn.
spectacular staging Of it, nor the ex
ploitation Of it, nor, on the contrary
tho concealment of it.

~sPEAK QUIT SPEAK 0UTW
Democratic Stomachs Revolt Against
Wiison.M arshalI Mush.

Speak out! Speak out!" is the al.
most desperate cry of the New York
World, the newspaper chiefly respon-
sible for the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson in 1912, as it was for the nom-
nation of Alton B. Parker in 1904.
Day after day, it seems, the World
has been waiting with ears to the
windward for some point, some virile,
vital expression from its latest presi-
Dental jack out of the box on ques'
tons Of the hour, some solid, positive
utterance by the candidate, which it
could grab and lay about with as a
campaign shillelah. 1t has waited in
vain. Rounded periods of dreary
drivel, pedagogical commonplaces that
might have come out of a third reader
and which had about as much relation
to issues OF the campaign as ut is a
sin to steal a pin" has to Metropoli-
tan opera, have been fed to curious
crowds and to editors waiting with
whetted pens for red hot meteors OF
inspiration.
Disappointment and disgust are nc
confined to the World office. "We
asked you for bread and you gave us
. stone" is paraphrased in Democritic
sentiment by I'VE asked you for meat
and you gave us mush." Nauseated
with Wilson they turned to Marshall
only to find him as aperient of vacu-
Gus platitudes as his coadjutor.
It's a hopeless appeal. AS we'll try

anything definite out of Wilson. He
was definite enough when he said in
his History of the American Peo-
pie" that the Chinese are more to be
desired as workmen, if not as citi-
zens," than "the coarse crew crowd
ing in at eastern ports"-that is, inn
migrants from Europe. He was deti-
mite enough in saying in the same
book that congress had dealt very
harshly" in passing the law excluding
Chinese from the United States. He
was definite enough in denouncing
immigrants from Poland, Hungary
and Italy.
Evidently Wilson can speak out it

he is afraid to. On the issue OF a
navy powerful enough to defend the
interests and uphold the honor of the
United States he is silent for fear OF
offending the Democratic majority in

the navy. On the tariff he is, to quote
an old comparison. neither a man,

he doesn't care much how he gets
there. He is willing to slosh through
q sea of bosh to the White House.
and now that he has the nomination
he counts upon the world and the

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF

The present political campaign, and
the possibilities that may follow the
verdict of the voters. recalls Q similar
situation twenty years ago. In 1892,
With Benjamin Harrison, republican,
and Grover Cleveland, democrat, as
the rival presidential candidates., 1t
was urged that the election OF Mr..
Cleveland would not disturb the pros
porous business conditions which pre-
vailed at that time.
In that year, az 10 this, the indus
trial activity of the nation was at high
tide. Labor was fully employed and
the farmers had good crops for which
they were getting profitable prices.
But the very moment 1t became known
that Harrison had been defeated bust.
ness began to slacken. 1t was known
that just as coon as the democratic
administration could get the reins of
power into its hands, the tariff would
be revised. And 90, although it was
more than q year until the new tariff
law was finally en- acted, the fear OF it,
the certainty that 1t would write radical
changes into the tariff schedules,
spread q pail Of uncertainty over all
business operations. Manufacturers
limited their output to immediate or.
ders because they did not dare to ill
their warehouses with goods which
might be brought into competition q
few months later with similar products
from European factories made under
European conditions; jobbers and
wholesalers bought only to I'LL their
current demands, and retailers kept
their stock at the lowest stage possible
90 that they might not be over
loaded with goods when the expected
influx OF cheap products should come.
The result OF all this retrenchment
was that railroad traffic fell of 80
that practically every railroad went
into the hands of receivers; borrowers
we're unable to meet their oblig atoms
so that banks we're forced to close by
the hundred; labor was thrown out OF
employ ment, the price of farm pro-
ducts declined, and within six months
from the day when democratic orators
were declaring that no matter how the
election went the business OF the coun-
try would boom right along, we were
In the grip of the most deadly panic
the country had ever known in half 6
century. Who is bold enough to say
that the industrial history OF 1S9:
would not be repeated in 1912 II tn
political history of that campaign wer
duplicated in this? Now, al then
democratic victory would mean tn
revision of the tariff along non-pro
lection lines. Such revision has neve
vet occurred in this country withou
bringing industrial depression in 1t
train. What reason is there to be
lieve that history would reverse it
self?
That, in briefest possible summary
is the line along which men are think
ing who want to keep on doing bust
ness for the mex four years, or VIII
want to hold their jobs, or who wan
TO sell farm products at q profit. An
that is the reason the drift toward tn
republican party is growing day b
day more steadily pronounced.
