STEADY. NOW STEADY,

We are one hundred million people
occupying the most prolific and won
derfully endowed territory on earth.
In this great crisis we are destined to
be the balance wheel OF civilization,
the reciprocating parts in the ma
chinery after the clash OF arms is
stilled
Never was great nation better
prepared to take full advantage OF
the opportunity thus offered. In our
vast confines are contained all the es-
sentials OF life in greater abundance
than ever before. While the armies
OF Europe are tramping the grain
fields and destroying the avenues of
distribution our husbandmen are
gathering vast crops and the machin-
cry for their conservation is intact
While the old world ia burning
millions OF treasure daily. we are ac-
cumulating and adding TO our store.
While the finances of the European
powers are crumbling into chaos. ours
were never better or on a more sure
foundation.
From the four points OF the COM
pass will come n cry for our food and
our manufactured products of every
kind. OF all the nations we will have
in the greatest abundance the neces-
stiles for rehabilitation.
Let us have no fear of impending
disaster or feel uncertain as to our
future but attend TO our business, firm
in the knowledge that OF all the peo-
pie on earth we are the most favor
ably situated, and that il is our des-
tiny to be the leading force Of the
world in commerce and finances

Swift relief for Ills of Digestive
Tract Given by Mayr's Won
dcrful Treatment

Hundreds of Michigan people have
found quick deliverance from stom-
ach troubles by the use OF Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy. This
remarkable treatment has established
u record OF proven results and bene-
fits. 1t has friends everywhere. Here
is what two Michigan people say:
Mrs Guy A. Beamer OF 1907 North
Street, Flint, Mich.-"I never saw
anything work such wonders as just
three doses did. have been doctor
ed by specialists too, and received
very little benefit"
A. w. Hobbs of 1901 East Main
Street. Jackson, Mich.-"T had not
been we'll in fifteen years. After TAX
ing a few doses of your wonderful
remedy / am in perfect condition"
Such words of praise came from
users of this remedy in all parts of
the United States. This first dose

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION

The election of last week had one
outstanding result. The Democratic
PARTY was not strongly endorsed. This
result obtained practically everywhere
in the country.
Democratic leaders are inclined to
minimize the lack of endorsement Of
their party by pointing to the. de-
lection in the Progressive vote and
claiming that the Democracy has
shown that against practically united
and revivifled Republicanism the party
Of Jefferson can still register "A victory
Be this as it may. the general feeling
is that the Democracy will be com
selled to look sharp if it continues in
power after 1916 This may be a good
thing. 1t will put the Democratic
leaders on their metal. Perhaps they
can satisfy the public demand.
Many things will happen before
1916. The European war may have
the effect OF completely revolutionizing
the tariff question. The revolution may
be in favor of the Democrats or il may
favor the Republicans. The war will
Nave much to do with political for
tunes in 1916.
AS far IA the Progressive party is
concerned, it may again constitute an
important factor in national affairs in
1916. At present there are few in
sications OF this. However it is next
TO impossible to forecast the results
of the activities of Colonel Roosevelt.
We should hesitate to sound the death
knell Of Bull Mooseism just yet and If
the Progressive party is strong in 1916
Democratic chances will improve
AS far as Michigan is concerned.
the election of Ferris cannot possibly
ne construed as a rebuke TO Republi-
canism. Governor Ferris election was
simply a personal victory, Michigan
is still a Republican stronghold. When
Texas goes Republican about that time
Michigan might possibly join the
Democratic ranks

ROADS AND SOCIOLOGY

The address of Gov. Dunno OF Illi-

large and interesting family started
