Growing Brirhter D,,Iv

Henry Clews in his Saturday review says in part:
 The financial situation grows brighter almost daily in spite of the heavy European war cloud This week there has been marked progress in clearing up the foreign exchange sit- uation, and the restrictions upon credit, foreign and domestic, are being gradu- ally lessened One of the most striking evidences of improvement has been in the recovery of our foreign trade, par ticularly in exports. from the effects of war shown in the September statis- tics. In that month, it will be recalled, our exports declined s62,OOO, 900 and our imports $31 1000, ,00o, the loss in exports being largely In cotton and the loss in imports being chiefly in manufac- tured products. Our export trade dur ing the current month, and especially during the past week, has been partic- ularly active. The increase in raw products and war supplies has been very conspicuous Cotton has been going forward very freely; and the an- nouncement by Great Britain that cot ton will not be considered contraband. even to Germany, insures a continued free movement of this staple. This, of course, will materially relieve the cotton situation, and will also serve to settle our foreign, debit balance and check gold exports. To the south which is largely dependent upon foreign buy ing of cotton. this movement will be particularly welcome, even if cotton does go out at avery low price. %
 There has been an increased move- ment in investments of the better class. Prices are exceedingly low and there it no lack of bargains to be obtained by buyers with ready money. Were the local exchange opened with values fairly tested by the conflict of opinion between buyers and sellers there would likely be considerable investment buy ing We'll selected investments should bring good profits at no very distant period. Strong efforts are being made for reopening of the Stock exchange, but much depends upon the action of Lon don, where several plans have already been proposed that would seem to be near a solution of the difficulties at that center. The moratorium expires in London next week and 1t not ex- pected to be renewed, the situation there showing daily and persistent i'm provement. Thus far Europe has f. nanced the war, which is costing, 1t is claimed, at the rate of about $50, 900, 900 a day, without for the time being, any apparently serious difficulty which is certainly worlds record experience.

THE SUFFERING HORSE

From the Ohio State Journal.
 Our hearts go out to him. Next to man he is the greatest victim of the war. He gees In and gets killed, thousands of him, and he doesn't know what for. It's no affair of his. He doesn't care which wins, Germans, French, English or Rus sans-it is all alike to him. He gives up his life for one just as soon as for the others. He doesn't hesitate. He rushes up to the blazing cannon just as freely as he scampers across the green fields, not thinking or caring for death. He gives up his life for some country. he doesn't know which.
 In artillery or cavalry he plunges to death and becomes a part of the havoc of war without a reason or reward. He belongs to the armament and is on a level with powder gun, cannon and sword. and yet he is a part of the sol diery when it comes to suffering and cruelty. Never does he experience the old Roman sentiment: Tt is sweet to die for ones country It might be if he had a country. He hasn't-he belongs to all mankind. and this is the way they treat him.

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Ever watch long. all-stee limited train roll majestically out of a railroad sta tion? Looks impressive, what?
 Did you observe almost at the same time an inconspicuous hole in the wall over in an obscure corner of the station? Bundles pouring in and out, but no sig nals, no testing of ai-brakes, no official in uniform with wat-1 in hand to note exact seconds
 All the attention of a corps of trained men is riveted upon the limited as she sweeps away to her destina ton. A few half-grown boys look after that affair be- yond the hole in the wall.
 But the parcel room in a busy rail- road station which is back of that hole is diamond mine.s It pays 10 times bigger dividends on the investment than all the fashy limited trains sent out of the sta tion.
 Every dollar employed by the Reading and Pennsylvania in their parcel rooms earns as much as any s employed in the pretentious compartments from which you buy your railroad ticket Sequel: You can knock down as many chestnuts with pine knot~as with go cane.

ent House of Representatives is ab- normal. In the next House there will be some falling off, but conservative estimate is that the majority will be 75 to 100, which will certainly be large enough for all practical purposes.
 And it would be strange if the dem ocrats did not have decisive ma jority. President Wilson's administra- tion has been a splendid success. The Sixty-third Congress has been Will son Congress, and the legislation en- acted while not satisfactory to every body, is satisfactory to the majority of the people. The democratic record, therefore, has a distinct appeal to in telligent voters.

GETTING AT THE FACTS


 What I don't understand" said the girl under the velvet bowl, 'is why they went to war in the first place. "Oh, that's easy" replied the girl un- der the goura spray; 1t was caused by the assassination of the Austrian crown prince."
 "Yes. I understand that. of co,,rse :, said the velvet bowl ''and I suppose the pan-Slavs just had to be put down, bu, don't see why Belgium should be treat ed so dreadfully" Well, you see. my dear that is only because Belgium was neutral" What pity, isn't it? If Belgium had only not been neutral. I suppose that Is what England tried to do. Hasn't England been superb?" Hasn't she? I love Sir Edward Grey !, He was the one who did so much for Belgium, wasn't he? Still. don't under. stand even now why they went to war in the first place" Well, you see. they couldn't help if because Germany is so military" And I suppose Belgium being neutral made it all the harder"
 "Of course as I understand it. wben a neutral country meets ne intensel, military country, war mus How"

 LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A millionaire is always bragging about how he made his first thousand. But he never says much about how he made his last thousand.
 The reason why a woman likes to have a fancy clock in every room in the house is because she has to call up the telephone operator six times day to learn the correct time.
 Isn't 1t wonderful how easy it is to go to sleep in the morning after it is time to get up?
 The man who has to listen to hard luck story is entitled to more sympathy than the fellow who Is telling it.
 Some people in this world will never be happy as long as they know that any one else is happy.
 r A skinny girl has an awful time going over a muddy crossing without getting her skirt soiled. But a corn-fed girl can't see anything to worry about.
 Why is it that the man who has neck that looks like an elephants hind leg al ways keeps the back of his head shavedi It is never too late to mend, but it is usually too early.
 The old shioned hen that used to give us strictly fresh eggs now has a daughter who is in cahoots with a cold storage plant.
 | Somehow or other it Is usually the fellow who has six sure things before the first | race who hasn't five sure pennies to ge1 | home with after the last race. l A youth always looks forward to thu | day when he will be his own boss. And about the time 1t arrives, he goes and get married. The reason why a girl likes the light turned low when member of the Hanl Holders union calls Is because she can eil' joy kiss and not have to worro beGause she isn't blushing.

THIEF NEARLY ELECTED

From the New York World.
 The democratic voters in the late Indian
 apolis primaries nominated for judge oi
 the juvenile court a man representing
 himself to be Frank x. OBrien, who had
 been a resident of St. Louis, where he was
 well and favorably known as a lawyer
 and served several terms in the Missouri
 legislature. It Is now discovered that he
 Is in reality John F. OBrien of St. Louis
 where he has long police record as a
 thief and hobo and associate of criminals
 He had assumed and taken to Indianapolis the name and the record of an actual and reputable lawyer of St. Louis. and was within a week of being voted for on a judicial nomination when discovered and put off the ballot.
 Representations of the dead have peen common here and there is attempts te cheat the ballot box. Pretensions 'te character at variance with their own nave been common among candidates for office But in these times of easy communica- ton we fail to recall a case like this where a man in one place has dared to impersonate a well-known citizen Of an other to gain an important public office and nearly succeeded in doing so. The friends of the old caucus and con- vention system will say that under it such a fraud could never have got so far Perhaps. But it is for the friends of direct nomina tions to observe that this ma. chinery will not run itself in perfec- tton.

ToLsTOY ON MILITARIsM

In the November American Magazine an unpublished bit from Tolstoy of spe- cial significance today is reprinted from the fly leaf of book owned by George M Phillips of West Chester Pa. It was written in November 1909 and is as follows:
 Tt is difficult to conceive a position more full of misery than tt of the present Christian world witt. its na- tions armed one against the other, with its inevitably and ever increasing taxes for the maintenance of Its ever increasing armaments. with its grow. ing hatred of the working classes fo, the wealthy: with war hanging ovei all like the sword of Damocles, ready to fall at any moment as 1t must in. evitably do sooner or later.
 Awaken men and believe the gos. pei" said Jesus Christ 1909 years ago and those words have the greatest force in our time because Christs prophecy has been fulfilled and the folly ant misery of our life which he foretold have now attained their utmost linn it's"
