A Good Amendment.

Oconto Enterprise: Michigan, at the
last election, adopted an amendment to
it's constitution which provides that
travelling men and students may vote
while away from home on election day.
Like Wisconsin, it's sister state sub
mitted a number of amendments to it's
constitution at the last election, but
this was the only one that carried, the
majority in it's favor being about IA, OOO
This is good provision and we believe
every state in the Union ought to follow
Michigan's example by adopting a
similar amendment.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message which President Wilson
delivered to the congress yesterday ap-
pears on page three of this paper.
Strong ground is taken against a stand
ing army and militarism generally, and
in favor of a powerful navy. This is
he well settled Democratic policy.
Read the whole message. 1t is great
state paper stated in the clear and
forcible Woodrow Wilson way.

GOOD TIMES ASSURED.

Wherever men of business affairs get
together for consultation good reason is
given for optimism. At the American
Mining Congress at Phoenix, Ariz., on
Tuesday, George Otis Smith, director
of the United States geological survey,
delivered an address in which he pre-
scented most favorable conditions for
profitable activity in farming. mining
and manufacturing. Here is an extract
from his address:
Evidence of business betterment is
before us on every hand, and the rea-
sons for optimism are many. The
United States farmer has harvested a
five billion dollar crop and there is a
high price market for all our surplus
food stuffs. Already our grain is pour
ing across the Atlantic. The millions
of men who are fighting are not work
ing, and yet these hordes of soldiers
must be clothed and equipped as we'll
as fed. Foreign orders have started
factory operation which at once tends to
relieve the stagnation in the steam coal
trade, the steel situation has turned
from serious depression to rapid i'm
provement, and the whole mineral in
dustry may soon expect to share in this
general business improvement.
Today the financial horizon is so
nearly cloudless that the prophets of
bad weather have little upon which to
base their predictions. The new federal
banking system makes the money re-
serves mobile as never before, and ex-
tension of credit is now possible, with
out the veto power remaining in the
hands of a small group of big men.
Still another reason for belief in bust
ness betterment is the recognition, now
becoming widespread, of the general
interpedence of big business and the
general public. On the one side. the
people are realizing that they are and

directly, the next point of attack will
be the commission. It is certain that
if through Mr.. Philip, the Tories are
really in power, they will stop at moth
ing in this direction. IF he follows the
reactionary course, and it is regrettable
that there are some signs that he may,
the Democrats can come into power, if
they are progressive. For there is no
hope for them if they are reactionary

VENTILATION.

More deaths are occasioned by inn
proper ventilation of train coaches and
waiting rooms than by train accidents.
The noxious gases that fill coaches, es-
pecially sleeping cars. in connection
with the peculiar character of dust
therein are most conducive to germ
breeding where proper ventilation is
lacking"
The above paragraph is an extract
from report recently made to con-
vention of railway commissioners at
Washington. It's startling statement is
sufficient to direct the attention of the
public to the matter of proper ventila
ton. Winters greatest danger is the
congregating of people in halls or rooms
where the air is foul.

ance in battling the wave of alcoholism
among women. Lady Byles. who pre-
sented the delegation. explained that
the members represented different
opinions socially and politically. but
were unanimous in the opinion that
the government should take immediate
steps to check drinking among women.
They furthermore believed that any
regulation undertaken by the govern
ment should extend to men as we'll as
women. The prohibition OF the sale of
liquor before noon was suggested as a
regulation that would lessen the temp
tation offered by public houses. Such
a curtailment of the hours OF public
houses would permit them to remain
open only ten hours daily.
Mr.. McKenna replied that it would
require a new act. Of parliament to
enable him to ctlrtail the hours of
liquor selling further. he promised to
submit the suggestion to the house.
