BUSINESS WORLD IGNORES POLITICS.

Rarely has Presidential campaign exerted so
little influence on tine business world as the present
contest Indeed, outwardly least politics has been
ignored by business men. A probable change in the
Administration heretofore always has been marked
by more or less hesitancy in banking and CONNER
cial circles but this year it is less noticeable than
ever before. AT the present time the country is
realizing record prosperity
In most lines of manufacture consumption ex-
ceeds output. Take the steel trade, for instance,
probably the best index of doings in the business
world; mills are running to capacity and, while
profits are not large as they were prior to the
panic of 1907 they substantially better than they
have been at any time since that year, and the trend
is still upward. Similar conditions prevail in the
coal trade with the exception that prices compare
favoraby with the highest quoted in normal
times. Output of coal is limited only by the ability
of railroads to transport it and scarcity of labor at
the mines. The textile trade, which for practically
FIVE years seriously depressed, finds it diff
cult to supply the demand at prices considerably
higher than have ruled for several years.
As for the railroads, they are now fairly over
whelmed with business and the crop movement will
not reach its height until the middle of this month
Equipment companies are working day and night,
but are far behind with deliveries.
Harvests will add some nine billion dollars to
the wealth Of the nation this year, and any ayman
will realize at glance what will be the effect of the
bountiful crops on the trade Of the country.
In the circumstances it is no wonder that poll
tics or even tine in the Balkans, has exerted so
little influence in shaping the course of business
this year.

RELIEVING POOR MOTHERS.

Several States considering the adoption Of
what has been called the mothers pension Law" +"
and the voters of Colorado to pass upon the ques
ton today. These commissions and referen-
dums are incidents of national campaign that is
being stimulated chiefly by the Probation League.
Missouri and Illinois have already adopted the plan.
In brief, the children Of worthy mother who,
by no fault of her own, has reached state Of dest
tuition allowed to stay with her. and she receives
out of the public purse money for their support.
This is practically substituting the home for the
charitable institution. The argument is that it
humane purpose and at the same time saves money
for the people by actually reducing the expense Of
supporting children found in impoverished homes and
the liability of having these children grow up in the
wrong way.
This argument requires substantial backing to
make headway. There is force in the statement
that the cost of taking Of child under the
mothers pension plan is not much more than half
the cost of supporting child in public institution.
That is said to be the case in Chicago. If such a
saving be effected under scrupulous SUPERVISION
then that fact alone must make peculiar appeal to
the public in these days of comparatively strict econ
omy But the moral no less than the physical well
fare of these wards is at stake All reformatories
are not failures. Some of them, indeed have very
high percentage of successfully as high if not
higher, man the average nome. The pension plan
in question really involves this moral as we'll as
physical care, that it would combine the best
features of institutional training, with the unique ad-
vantages of well-conducted home life.
If all this be furnished with less ex-
pense to the public than under the present pre-
vailing arrangement, then the new plan of main
tanning the home intact and giving the widowed or
deserted mother an opportunity to devote herself
wholly to the bringing up Of her children will yet
commend itself to the country in general.
The Washington times., 1912-11-05

Gettysburg. 1t is to be doubted whether any Bull
garian army of more than $4,000 men was ever be-
fore assembled, and that, too, only for maneuvers.
No Bulgarian general has ever been called upon to
direct the efforts of 10000 in actual modern warfare.
Without previous experience, Savoff has apparently
led ten times that number to victory without making
serious mistake.
Military history scarcely contains the parallel Of
such an achievement. Bonaparte's first campaign in
Italy does not approach it, for, important the re-
suits of Castglione and Arcol we're, these conflicts,
as battles can be compared only with the clash Of
SINCE corps of today. To handle $4,000 or 200 900,
engaged over line Of battle Fifty miles long, normal
ly requires the highest kind Of scientific military
training That Savoff could have managed it without
having had actual experience in extensive warfare
marks him as a military genius
