KANSAS CITY, June 27.-(Specia)
Did you read what the President
had to say to the editorial delegation
that visited him at the White House
few days ago? II you did, you learn
ed something to your advantage.
The President has a concise way
of expressing himself, and usually he
says things that carry weight. For
instance, he made the point that the
officials Of the administration had un-
usual facilities for sounding sentiment
throughout the country, and the same
means of determining just how bust
ness stands. The man who runs the
banana stand on the corner may SOL
EMMY assure you that business is
rotten, but the bureau at the nations
capital will advise you to the con.
trary, and hand you the necessary
figures.
So when the President said a big
business revival was on the way he
knew what he was talking about
President are not pesmiscuous pro-
phets, because bum predictions come
home to roost later on You may bet
your life that when Mr.. Wilson says
something is going to happen the
said something will come to pass.
Converting Big Business.
The strongest point In the Presi-
dents address had to do with the
change of sentiment that followed the
two great legislative reforms already
put through by the administration
tariff revision and the new currency
bill. Before congress pulled the pro.
tective tariff. tooth the patient hol-
Tered it's head off. The country was
going to the dogs and nothing could
arrest its progress in that direction.
The glorious wheels of industry would
refuse to grind and rust would gather
on the dinner pail. The dinner pail
the grand old dinner pail that kept
the grand old party in power for
nearly fifty years-was done for; the
stuff was off. Men, women and little
children would starve and the cap
tains of industry would die of grief.
1t was sad story, mates, and oceans
of tears were shed during the tell
ing.
But the cruel congress revised the
tariff, and ut didn't hurt a bit"
Everybody's for it now. The lumber
men used to kid us along with the
statement that free lumber would ruin
them, but all the time they were CON-
peting with British Columbia manu-
facturers for the business of the
Orient, South America and the islands
of the Pacific. If they could compete
abroad, why in the name of Samuel
Hill couldn't they compete at home? ?
Notwithstanding much to that line
of gossip.
r. -- Oh, Sure! ITS Fine.
Remember what was going to hap
pen when the new currency bill went
through? The best known financial
agents in the world predicted dire dis
aster. We were told that twelve re-
serve centers would Jim the whole
works and make tramps out of all
OF us.
But it's different now. The cur
rency bill is fine business, and every
one of the financial giants who
screamed when the subject was first
taken up is now enthusiastic in his
praise of it's beneficient provisions.
The fact is, Mr.. Wilson's ideas as
to what will happen are better than
the experts ideas as to what has
happened. When Mr. Wilson says
there's business revival on the way
he knows it is on the way. Watch
for it this fall.
