Dulling Luster of the

Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. Roy O. West,

eliminated in another insurrection,

posed to be specially favored by the

full an appearance to the public as it
has had at times in the past few
months. All the prestige that Mr..
Wilson gained by that policy seems
about to be destroyed by the disturb
ances that now seem certain In Mexico

Then there is a long string of possi-

policies of the administration and the
European war. 1t will not take long
Tor the people to forget the steady
hand that has maintained our neu-
trality thus far. and the next few
weeks will bring changes probably
which will render the conflict in
Europe an old story. 1t must be as
sumed, then, that prestige depending
on the attitude of this country toward
the belligerents is a very uncertain
quality.
Conditions in our own country are
the things that will count, this au-
thority believes-a decline in business,
unemployment, dissatisfaction of ali
classes, legislation antagonistic to
trade and--latest of all, the pert atti-
tude of Mr.. McAdoo toward the banks
of the United States. The bankers
are a powerful element in this country
in the managing of political events
and they have done wonders in the
stand they have taken for the protec-
ton of our finances in the present
emergency. For the administration
to make trouble for them is to make
trouble for itself.

And Now Gloves.

Ana NOW 0toVeS'
(Manchester, N. H, Union)
There appears to be no end of the
possible disturbances to industry in
this country due to the European war.
Just as a shipment of dyestuffs has
arrived in New York and raised the
hopes of textile manufacturers to some
extent, there comes word from the
glovemakers that they are in danger
of embarrassment. They cannot make
gloves. or such gloves as many people
wear. without goatskins, and word
has come from France that the supply
is threatened. Possibly, however, the
danger is exaggerated.
1t appears that the Indian troops
now serving with the allies eat goat
meat from preference and they are
said to be consuming about 5000 goats
day 1t might be assumed that this
would tend to increase the available
supply of goatskins, but the glove
makers fear otherwise, for II is as
serted that the dark-skinned troops
from the Indian empire insist upon
keeping the skins of the goats that
they eat. for mats and wraps. There
fore goats and goatskins in France are
disappearing at the rate of 5000 a day.
But at this rate it would seem that
the dusky soldiers must soon be sup
piled with the goatskins which they
can comfortably carry along with Their
other equipments. There are prob
ably not more than from 10000 to rs
900 Indian troops with the allies, and
if each one demanded mat and a
wrap, at the rate of 5000 a day they
ought to be we'll supplied to the last
man in less than fortnight. After
that. there ought to begin to be some
surplus skins for the glove trade.
If not, some substitute will prob
ably be found, for winter is close at
hand and Americans are resourceful.
