FRIGHTENING WEEKS.

From the New York Commercial. Sept
11l912.
Each week is more auspicious than
its predecessor in the auspicious prom
ise of great business year. This
implies according to the laws of trade
chances several to succeed it. With
immense uniform crops as a founda-
ton, accompanied by conditions in the
Old World much less favorable, it
gives this country place Of vantage
which it has rarely If ever expert
enced, SO concurrently do the general
facts at home and abroad run in our
favor.
A significant fact is that New York
for the last week has been put to its
trumps to accommodate adequately
the immense throngs of business WIS.,
itors. No city is better supplied with
such resources of hospitality, but they
have been strained to the uttermost
since the middle of August. There is
nothing in the capacity of our trans
portation lines which does not fully
conjoin with the sanguine outlook that
pervades the whole country.
While all the activities of trade are
notable now they will be vastly more
so in few weeks.

HAPPY FARMERS
They Have Every Cause for Joy on
the Next Thanksgiving Day.

From the Detroit Free Press. Sept. 12.
1872
A marvelously fortunate year is this
of 1912 for this land of ours. The
government crop report yesterday re-
news once more the proof that all
things are uniting for the welfare of
Americans 1t is an amazing show
ing, 300,000,00O bushels of spring
wheat being reported as in sight,
where last year the yield was only
190.000,O00 bushels, and the year be-
fore 20O000,O0O. Added to the winter
wheat, which In spite of the soft wheat
losses in our own section of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, the
total yield of this grain will run well
above 7OO,0OO,OOO bushels, and il pri-
vate advices are reliable, even above
100000, 900 bushels
We have had but two years in the
past when the 7OO,OOO.OOO mark was
passed, 1906 and 1901. and the outlook
Is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that
of either of these.
Nor is wheat the only crop that is
practically assured Of reaching record
figures. Corn, potatoes, barley. rye
and some others are already in the
class of bumper yields. The indica-
tions amount to assurance that they
will all exceed any previous aggre-
gate.
While the American fields are teem-
ing with their produce across the
ocean is heard the cry of distress.
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there. The land
is sodden and unfruitful. What crops
have grown are drowning in flood.
The American farmer, with his barns
bulging with the yield of his acres,
will get big prices for his big stock
of food supplies
A bountiful harvest and a strong
demand should make the farmer of
this country happy man on Thanks
giving day.

PROSPERITY lessons CRIME

From the Buffalo. N Y. Inquirer.
The department OF agriculture in
It's latest announcement reports BUM
per crops of corn. white potatoes.
spring wheat, oats, rye and buck
wheat.
Business agencies report booming
iron and steel trade, strong demand
for cars and decrease in the number
of commercial failures.
The most novel sign OF prosperity,
however, is recorded by Chief John
E. Wilkie of the United States secret
service. Whenever work is plentiful
and employment easily obtainable,"
says Chief Wilkie. crime is less, and
this rule, which has been demon
strated by years Of experience, ap-
plies as much to counterfeiting as to
other offenses against the law"
AS a general proposition easy times
are the times freest of crime, indicat-
ing that distress is the cause of much
law breaking.

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.

From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary ex-
penses of the federal government in
creased at the rate of about per cent
a year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about per
cent year. Under the presidency of
Mr.. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost per cent. Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which has SO long seemed inevitable.
but has actually brought about de-
crease. Under Mr.. Roosevelt the or
binary annual expenses of the gov
ernment grew from about s471 100000
to s6e2 100000, an increase Of $751;
100000 in seven years. Mr.. Taft has
reduced them from s662000,00O I
1854 100000
We talk lot about economy in pul
lie affairs. Isn't it worth while
stop a moment and give credit to
president who has actually done VIII
we have all been saying ought to
done?

DEMAND FOR LABOR
Unprecedented Prosperity In the
United States Sends Up a Call
From Ocean to Ocean for
unskilied Labor.

The demand for unskilled labor
never was so great in the United
States as it is at present There is
also large and general demand for
skilled labor in many important lines.
The cry has gone up rom New
York state and extends south along
the Atlantic coast, across the south
line of the Union to California, up the
Pacific coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart of the country from
Kansas City to st. Louis, to Chicago,
to Detroit, to Pittsburgh.
Everywhere laborers are needed in
the harvests, the forests, the mines,
the factories, the mills; on the rail-
roads, for the construction of public
highways and in our great industrial
centers.
Even within a hundred-mile radius
of New York city the call is no less
insistent. Labor agencies cannot sup
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual labor for aqueducts, tun-
nels, building excavations. There is
work for every man willing to take
pick and shovel and utilize the oppor-
tunity to earn a daily wage whose
minimum is $1.75.
Can anyone doubt that 1t is this con-
dition of universally employed labor
which is responsible for the high
prices for farm products-prices
which are giving the American farm
er the greatest degree of prosperity
he has ever known?
And can anyone believe that these
conditions. either as to laborers or
farmers, would be bettered by a
change in the administration at Wash
ington? Why make change for the
mere sake of change? Let sleeping
dogs lie."

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Dun's Trade Report Gives Encour-
aoement for all Lines of Business.

From the Freeport. III. Standard. Sept.
II, 1912.
Duns trade report for the past
week gives encouragement for all
lines of business, crops and manu-
featuring enterprises. In part the
report says:
Continuous advance In trade activ-
ity is the tenor of the reports from
the principal manufacturing and dis
tributing centers last week. The ad-
vance is both in actual volume Of
transactions and in that confidence
which is the basis of healthy bust
ness.
The big August bank clearings are
a development of present activity and
buoyancy Clearings in August gain
ed AS per cent. over last year, while
during this week they increased 10.5
per cent. over 1911 and 17.6 per cent.
over 1910. The evidence of these
clearings is confirmed by the current
railroad gross earnings. which show
q gain of 6.8 per cent. over 1911.
Rates of money are hardening in all
parts OF the world, plain response
to the greater movements of trade
and commerce and the bigger de-
mands of new enterprises. The in
creased confidence in the financial
markets is illustrated by the fact
that the August output of new Sc
curities and short-term notes in this
country was $92,0OO,00O greater than
a year ago. The remarkable consump-
tiOn Of iron and conner products con-
tinues to the point Of actual capacity,
and all the principal industries show
satisfactory activity.

Should Not lmperlI Prosperity.

From the Buffalo. N. Y. News.
The current number of Dun's Re-
view remarks upon the steady advance
in trade activity, according to reports
from various business centers in all
parts of the country. The advance, 1t
says, is both in actual volume of busi-
ness and in that confidence which is
the basis Of health In business.
1t is well to remember these things
when one is considering the outlook.
The situation together with the mag.
niflcent crops of the year explain why
business men are less and less inclined
to imperil prosperity by overturnins
the government.

BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY.

From the Beloit. Wis, Free Press, Sep
tember II. 1912.
Bank deposits are sure indicator
of prosperity in city. and on this
point Beloit banks show a steady in
crease and this city on this score
compares most favorably with the
outside world. Total deposits In the
four banks according to the current
statements aggregate s4,34S,4 ,4iS.46, of
which S2,569.371.14 represent the saw
ings Of the people. Rockford with
three times the population has little
more than double the amount Of
money on deposit in her seven banks.
Figuring Beloit's population at $4,000,
which is probably conservative, the
i per capita deposits In the banks
amount to $2.41A, which 10 . pretty
good showing.

creased. No American industry has

creased. No American industry has
been crippled and not one American
workman has been thrown out of en-
rlcyment by reason of its enactment.
Believing that the schedules might be
still further revised. President Taft
created the tariff board. an organiza-
tion of experts, who dealt with the
tariff problem from a business roint
of view and who suggested further
changes. The Democratic k1use of
representatives ignored these we'll
considered recommendation and also
leeislated the tariff board out of ex-
istence. The tariff bills vetoed by
President Taft We're framed by com
mittee of fourteen Democrats, eleven
of whom are lawyers and the other
three have had no business expert
ence.
President Taft has enforced the en-
ployer's liability act and approved the
extension of its provisions so that en-
ployes of railroad carriers may bring
suits in any district in which the de-
fendant was doing business at the
time of the commencement of the
action.
These are a few-and only few
of the great achievements of Presi-
dent Taft's administration. 1t is a
record unequalled by any president,
and the work has all been done with
out self.gloritication and in a modest
and effective way.

Can Be Affeeted by Politics.

Henry Clews, the New York flnan.
cial expert, says in his weekly letter
that business conditions are good
especially in the west, but he points
that they may become unsettled by
political developments.
There were good times before the
last Democratic administration, but
they soon became bad times. The
country does not want history to re-
peat Itself.

The Difference.

From the Belvidere Qll) Republi-
can:
The difference between the Roose-

Mr.. Roosevelt talked loudly against
those whom he called "malefactors,"
and secretly protected some of them
from the law, while Mr.. Taft has made
no threats, but has just enforced the
laws.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Bookings People Know How
to Save It.

Many Brookings people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick kidneys Are
responsible for a vast amount Of suf-
fering and ill ~health-the slightest de-
lay is dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney
Pills-a remedy that has cured thou
sands of kidney sufferers. Here is a
Brookings citizens recommendation.
R. H. Anderson, blacksmith, Sec
ond ST., Brookings, s. Oak, says: Il
have taken Doan's Kidney Pills and
can recommend them as an excellent
kidney medicine. My work brings a
constant strain on my back and
caused my kidneys to become weak
and disordered. There was stiffness
and lameness across my back and
1 had sharp pains in my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills have never failed
to relieve me and I therefore con-
slider them worthy of the highest en-
dorsement."
