A GREAT FUTURE
L. >. TREASURER BURKE SEES
GREAT PROSPERITY FOR
AMERICA AFTER THE
WAR.

Interview with James b. Morrow:
What big question is
before the country"
Now" Gov. Burke replied,
stretching his long, slim legs out in
front of him and resting them on the
rug by the tips of his heels, Il am
going to turn prophet. First of all,
I'll say that the most delicate duty
at present confronting the nation is
to keep out of the European a A
few months ago we were brought to
the edge of serious trouble by the
Mexican situation. European battle
ships were in southern waters. Wal
was desired. not with the United
States particularly, but with any ma
ton, IL an excuse, good or bad, could
be found for the beginning OF hos
tilities.
Ships, decks cleared and guns
loaded. were ready for action. Hap
PLY, through the wisdom of Wash
ington. the signal for war was not
given by this country and the poorest
scrt of a signal would have answered
the purposes of the men who were
determined that a war should be
brought on. The assassination of the
Austrian grand duke was the small
occurrence seized upon for the open
ing of tremendous events.
An this lis Introductory to my
prophecy. which is that the United
States is soon to enjoy the greatest
prosperity in its history. Our farm
ers are to be called on to feed Great
Britain, Germany, France and Bel
gium. American manufacturers, too
will receive large orders from abroad
But. first OF all, Europe must be fed
and the United States is the only
country that can produce the food
Canada will be drained of workers
before the var is over and will not
grow more than enough wheat for
its w bread eaters.
The war will bring startlina
changes in Europe and America. For
many years the best chemists, in
ventors and organizers of Europe
have been making machinery and
projectiles and managing large
masses of men and manufacturing
establishments with a single purpose
in yiew--the destruction of human
life. The energy, ability and wealth
OF Europe have been employed in OBJ
tanning means with which to kill.
War, therefore, has been the lead
ing profession of Europe. The other
professions have been incidental on
contributory to the profession of kill
ing men. hammering down forts,
sinking ships and destroying cities
and towns. When persons or nations
have a profession, they desire to
practice it. War in Europe, conse-
|quently. was inevitable.
The Americans, professionally,
are not a fighting people. There are
only a few soldiers in the United
States. But the soldiers we have. de-
string advancement. which is natural
and c~ommendable In all walks of life.

Reaches the Enormous Sum al
Eleven Million Dollars.

Pierre, Dec. 21.--The report Of
State Land Commissioner Hepperlee
shows thai the state school fund at
the present time Is almost Sill ,000,-
900, air drawing interest at s and s
per cent. This amount was secured
from the sale OF 1896 acres OF the
school lands. On the basis of valua-
ton fixed by the state tax commission
in the different counties of the state
where the remaining state school
lands are located, the land YET re-
naming Is worth over 5000, 900
to the state.
He asks for a constitutional
amendment allowing long term
leases, extending twenty or twenty
five years, with re-appraisement ev-.
cry five years, which he believes
would bring a greater lease revenue
TO the fund.
He recommends early sales of a
large amount OF the state lands in
Harding county, for the reason that
the state now holds 345,0 600 acres OF
common school and endowment lands
in that county. which as long as IL is
held by the state is not subject to
taxation, and the residents of that
county secure no revenue from sucn
land other than that of personal
taxes from cattle grazed on the
leased tracts.
He asks for amendment OF the law
In relation to sales of timber. feeling
that the interests Of the state as we'll
as of the forests will be best conserv-
ed by allowing sales in larger vol
ume and with longer time for cutting
the same. He also advances the the
DRY that the game preserve for per-
petuation of large game in the forest
reserve of the state will make IL one
of the show places OF the United
States in future years.

Northern France is filled with the de-
bris of battle-farms, vineyards and
factories have been wrecked. Such
is the picture at present. Conditions,
however. are to grow worse.
For years to come, perhaps for
centuries, maybe forever, the United
States is TO be the one great nation
on earth, financially, agriculturally
and industrially. Men may disagree
about the question of free trade and
a protective tariff. These subjects,
however, can be put aside. The fac

Correspondence of Associated Press.1
Stockholm, Oct. 29.-Public suspicion
in England that the Scandinavian
countries are supplying Germany on a
large scale with such commodities as
wool. petrol and grain, has aroused the
most energetic protests in the Swedish
press. The suspicion is wholly I'M
founded. Since the beginning OF the
war and the declaration Of Swedish
neutrality, the expectation Of these
commodities has been prohibited by the
Swedish government. The order has
been rigidly enforced.
Regarding the increase In Swedish
imports Of corn, which the London
Times quotes as one basis Of the sus-
picion that Sweden is sending corn to
Germany, 1t is explained here that this
increased importation IL due simply to
the fact that Sweden's harvest Of COM
mon fodder this year has been very
poor. The corn is, to a great extent,
given to pigs. Thus the Swedish pa
pers point out that the Swedish and
| Danish export Of pork and ham to
England depends largely upon the
supply Of corn. which is a reason Eng
| land should look upon this import with
sympathy.
When the war broke out Sweden was
short so per cent Of her usual petrol
cum supply, and Denmark in still
worse plight. which accounts for the
present importations. Having the OPP
portunity to import Sweden = deter.

A Progressive Exclamation,

Il was the country's rebuke to the
business policy of the democratic party.
1t was not a protest against watch
full waiting" in Mexico, nor anything
more than an acceptance OF our neu-
trality in foreign war as the plain. mat
ter of course policy that any president
would have followed.
The dissatisfaction was with the
democratic tariff, against the -paralyz-
ing hand which the antitrust action
i.tas laid upon business; even. We be-
l.eve, against the long period OF de-
pressing inaction which has preceded
the active life Of the new currency
plan. The war tax added final fuel tc
the flames.
All along the line men who were out
OF work, men whose business suffered,
men who saw economic perils sur
rounding them, voted against the dem
ocratic party.
The instrument they chose for the
expression OF their protest was the re-
publican party.
This was practically natural The
republican party had a better organ
ization than the progressive party. 1t
had larger representation in congress
1t had a history Of actual accomplish

More than that, the republicans stood
at the extreme end of the scale Of OPP
position to the democrats. The pro-
gressives offered midway course-es-
pecially on the tariff-which is, we be-
lieve, the truest and best road to pro-
gress. Indeed. because we are not on
1t, we have had another tariff revision
by CONFUSION"
But the plain fact is that under the
J depression OF war people did not and
| would not discriminate between the
I progressive and the republican pro-
gram. They were against the whole
! democratic economic plan. To hit It
