HOPEFUL BUSINESS OUTLOOK.


1t is the consensus of opinion of
some of the keenest and most far
sighted men, that the United States is
entering on an era of prosperity that
will completely overshadow even the
great periods of business prosperity
that have already come TO this country
since the Civil war They assign many
sound reasons for this prediction.
The first-and the one which is the
most significant TO many of them-is
that we have gone through a season
of business depression for the first
time in history without a panic. The
time spectators who could al
ways scent a panic and make money
out of ii, are completely con-
fused They have seen "A financial
state of affairs never before known.
They have seen the banks full of
money during a business depression
and no particular call for the money
on any side.
They have seen Europe throw back
into this country from $3.50, 900, 600 to
$500, 000, geo worth of securities and
have seen these securities absorbed
and the gold sent TO Europe, without
any particular fuss. That would have
meant a panic in the stock market
a few years ago.
lower than the Wilson tariff, and yet
they have seen raw woOl-One of the
best tariff barometers there is-sell
higher than before
They have seen a delicate railroad
situation that would have created a
financial panic at any time in the
past, studied and pondered over in a
way that has simply taken the breath
| from spectators. The people have
refused to become excited over it.
They want il settled everywhere, but
they want il settled right. Why2
Because the railroad is not the one
dominating industry of the country
any longer. While financiers have
been Juggling railroads the past %
years. business men have been build
ing up other great industrial enter
prises all over the land
This is a bigger country than it ever
was before. It's potential possibilities
are being more and more realized in
every direction. The farmers have
become scientists. and the arid lands
and the swamp lands are being re-
claimed everywhere and being made TO
yield in such abundance as was never
known before in the history OF farm
ing
In the south, malaria has been con-
quered, and the rich swamp lands are
no longer the terror they were. lrri-
cation and dry farming have brought
new prosperity 10 the west and the
southwest. Water power is being
conducted over the wires hundreds Of
miles where il formerly was all but
wasted. The oil lands and the min
eral wealth have burst the bounds of
/ former monOpolies and opened up
Z vaster posi- ilities than ever before,
and the inventive genius OF the Amer
lean has never been idle New
miracles are daily being wrought by
invention.
Why. then have we had "A business

Twenty-three causes are assigned
for the fires which during the month
Of June destroyed more than half a
million dollars worth of property in
the state Of Indiana. Every one of
these causes is a result Of inehciency.
The causes assigned need not be
named as they are familiar 20 all.
They are the same. some older and
some newer than others. from which
fires have originated from the begin
ming. and all are preventable in a
greater or less degree. Many OF the
fires resulting from lightning could
have been prevented with lightning
rods. defective fues which caused
fires could have been repaired kero-
sene and gasoline explosions could
have been prevented by proper care
OF stoves and lamps and caution in

THE LAST STRAW.


Following the failure of the follow
up letters to convince the president
and congress that legislation should
cease, a new tack has been taken by
those adroit souls seeking TO SOW dis
cord in the country. Now they say
that the president is tired and sick.
that he is disappointed and that he
will leave public life at the expiration
OF the present term. All of which,
Of course. is false. No president was
ever so successful in having import
ant constructive legislation passed.
No president ever had more solid sup
port in his party and the answer Of
Mr.. Wilson and his colleagues is that
they are going 10 stay on the JOB until
il is finished
The action of the senate majority in
deciding to put through the antitrust
program before adjournment will be
accepted as an authoritative answer
TO those interests which have been in
sisting that congress postpone action
on these bills and close the session.
Further. il shows the upper house in
full harmony with the president be-

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

pie thought we ought to have it; we
should have ii, and must have it; ii
was done.
1t was largely a mental state. There
was no real need of il or for il. Bust
ness men see that more clearly now.
But many of them are more satisfied
apparently because we have had it.
And they have learned something
They have learned that we cannot
have panics unless there is tight
money" unless the reserve is tied up,
as il was for the past so years-tied
up when it was most needed. This
business depression we have been
through has been valuable then in
that il has demonstrated to all the
people the wisdom of the present sys-
tenn of flexible currency. The old
conditions have disappeared forever.
Panics need not be feared.
AS A. W. Douglas of st. Louis said
a few nights ago at the Economic
club, there has been a curious Psyche
logical phenomenon during this bust
ness depression; the people-the COM
mon people-have been optimistic
through it all They left their money
in the banks. The common people
had more confidence than the So
called financiers, and when the COM
mon neople have confidence, you can't
have panics.
So now that the lesson has been
learned and that the greatest crops in
the history Of the country are in
sight, it is up TO everybody TO forget
the mental depression, start in quick
ly and get aboard the prosperity train
that has been simply standing still on
the tracks waiting for the engineer TO
oil up for a long run.-BOston Globe.

DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS.

immigration is contributing more
than a million a year TO the popula-
ton of the United States and increas-
ing competition in labor TO that ex-
tent, as most of the newcomers are
laborers and their families.
Most of the material received in this
way is raw People who leave their
native lands 10 become citizens Of the
United States are seeking to better
their conditions. AS a rule they are
very poor. having little more than
enough 10 pay their transportation.
but they are willing TO work and have
few plans and little choice as 10 where
they will go and what they will do
after they get here This makes 1t
comparatively easy for the depart
ment of labor to control their move
ments and TO distribute them in a
manner which will contribute to the
most rapid assimilation.
The 100000 who arrived last year
were so we'll distributed that the add
ed competition in the labor market
was only slightly felt. and better IA
cilities this year through the establish
ment OF employment agencies will still
further reduce the effect

SIX MONTHS WITH POETS AND
PHILOSOPHERS.

Trust me, tits something TO cast
Fact to face with oneself at last,
To be taken out OF the fuss and
strife.
The endless clatter OF plate and
knife,
The bore of books. and the bores
of the street,
From the singular mess we agree
to call life.
Where that is best which the most
fools vote Is,
And planted firm on ones own two
feet
So nigh To the great warm heart of
God,
You almost seem TO feel 1t beat
Down from the sunshine and up
from the sod;
To be compelled, as il were, to no

All the beautiful changes and
chances
Through which the landscape

And to see how the face of COM
mon day
Is written all over with tender
histories.

VOCATIONAL LAW SUSTAINED.

Our vocational school law has been
upheld by the state supreme court IN
a case taken up from Fountain
county. The opinion of the court is
that the law is constitutional and that
the defects upon which the decision
of the lower court was based are mat
ters for legislative consideration.
Thus we have in this ruling two
important suggestions, the correctness
of the principle upon which the voca-
tional school is based and the incom-
pleteness or imperfection of the law
as il now stands. Neither is surpris-
ing. since we have come to the voca-
tional school as a social evolution
and since without experience or well
established precedent in framing the
law the superstructure is not as well
built as the foundation is substantial
In the case quoted the county coun-
ell refused to make an appropriation
OF $1,000 for the maintenance of the
vocational school and on appeal to the
circuit court the council was sus-
tanned. The reversal of the circuit
court ruling and the opinion of the
supreme bench that the questions rails
ed are matters for the legislature sug-
gest the consideration by that body
of such defects in the law as may be
made manifest by investigation.
Vocational training has become in
dispensable TO social welfare. The
conditions of the present demand that

RETURN OF MANY BIRDS
New YORK katuraIists Report Species
That Have Been Missing for
Years Coming Back.

Albany, y. UT appears that
birds are becoming more numerous
in New York state. This applies not
only to the ordinary kinds, but to
rare species as we'll These facts
are set forth in a report made to the
conservation department by George
2. Guelph, a naturalist. of Brockport,
Monroe county.
Mr.. Guelph for two years has given
the public the benefit of his observa-
tons Of bird migration along the
shores of Lake Ontario. In this years
report he mentions having seen
species that have for many years
been almost or wholly unknown IN
this part Of the country.
There are now more than 200
species of birds which may be looked
for regularly along the lake during
the time Of migration, Mr.. Guelph re-
ports. There are also about twenty
species that can be seen occasionally,
and twelve which have been seen but
a few times and are rare.
A Hudson curlew, a willet, and a
knot, birds rarely found In western
New York, were seen there this year,
Mr.. Guelph says. The knot is a bird
that goes far into the Arctic regions
to breed, and it migrates in winter
to the extreme southern part OF
South America
A blue goose, one of the rarest Of
the larger water fowl, also was seen
this year. There are only six records
of its having been seen before in this
state
