CANNOT see BUSINESS
DEPRESSION OF COUNTRY
The President, With All His Wis
dom, Is Unable to Comprehend
Actual Conditions.

In the past year this country has
suffered an economic loss of millions
in unpaid wages and reduced earning
power. in lessened construction and
curtailed production. But the lesson
to be found in this record of econom.
ic disaster is lost upon President
Wilson. In his recent speech he
stated that he could see no signs OF
business depression. His veracity is
not questioned. II is admitted that
he fails to discern conditions as they
are, and therein lies the fatal weak
ness of his administration. Neither
the President nor his Cabinet show
any Willingness to recognize or face
the facts. because they are blinded
by imaginary theories conceived in
their own minds.
On every hand are unfailing evil
dences of business depression. The
official reports, the authentic news
paper dispatches, the personal exper-
fences of all citizens. the vast num-
Der of unemployed in all cities and
towns are proof of the existence of
conditions which the President says
are not apparent to him.
Some time ago Mr.. Wilson said
that our business troubles we're "psy-
Geological and had a decided incli-
nation toward constitutional psy-
chopathic inferiority." BY this it
was understood that he meant there
was no economic depression, but
rather a deliberate conspiracy to in
jure his administration. He even
limited that the late Clafiin failure
was engineered to bring discredit
upon his utterances.
The President is unable. apparent
~. with all his wisdom, to compre-
bend actual conditions. His new dec
laration that there is no depression
of business confirms the severity OF
his self-delusion. The bread-lines.
the unprecedented demands upon the
organizations of charity. the appeals
to city governments for funds to sue
cor the starving, all are proof of I'M
usual conditions. But Their are bet
ter proofs to be found. The Brad
street report of January 80 shows
that for the week ending January
IS there were $50 business failures
in the United States, and 551 the
week before, whereas in 1911. under
a Protective Tariff. there were but

This loss was reflected in a decrease
of s2s.27s.723 in revenue from the
tariff.
The estimate of the Internal Rev
enue Office of revenue from the per-
sonal income tax for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1914, was $4,000

$4,000. 900 less than the estimate.

The Same Old Road.

From Shelbyville comes inquiry
from one who has been studying for
over a year as to how and how much
the Underwood bill. as it is current
~ known, has benefited the people of
this country, the farmers more par
ticularly.
1t is a singular thing that there
are very few political convictions so
strongly held, even by many of those
friendly for one reason or another
20 a Democratic administration, as
that, under Democratic administra-
tions. prosperity can not exist. 1t
is still more singular that the con-
viction is supported by historical ex-
perience and that periods of severe
depression. of unhealthy uncertain
ty, and, finally, of social and econ
omic unrest. have synchronized with
the periods succeeding Democratic
national victories. A violent parts
an might go the length of asserting
that no clearer case of cause and eff
feet need be looked for. We do not
go that length. We are content to
mark the coincidence. allowing, at
the same time. that contributory cir
cumstances may be noted, as, for
example, just now. the European
war. What more natural than to
cherish the corresponding faith that.
if TO put the Democrats in power is
TO invite hard times. TO turn them
out is TO insure good times? And
that idea is strongly held, too.
President Wilson. above all things
a student of history. has been con-
scious of this mental attitude from
the start. He has never ceased TO
insist and to drive home that much
of the depression was psychological;
that what the country was suffering
from was a state of mind; and that
he. the President-and in those days
he was pretty much the Administra-
ton. too-wanted nothing but fair
play, was ayerse to harassing bust
ness. and thought a rest would be
for the good Of all.
And thereupOn has followed much
shouting and clapping OF hands;
hope has dawned anew, TO be sue

A Refining Influence.

Among the many movements of
our time there is none of which the
value is less appreciated than that
of animal protection. Whoever has
watched animals closely and impair
TALLY must be convinced that they
stand in a much nearer spiritual
relation to us than the majority of
people suspect. Not only on account
of the animals themselves is their
protection urgently necessary, but
also as a means to raise the whole
human moral outlook and the con-
duct of life.
II is extremely foolish to neglect
their protection on the ground that
the welfare of men is more necessary
than that of animals.
The care OF animals is not at all
antagonistic to the care of men. but
is. on the contrary. the noblest way
OF helping mankind; il saves men
from sinking into brutality.

of the highest enjoyment when We
awaken in them an understanding OF
the soul-life in animals.
He who can hear the song of a
bird unmoved and without rapture.
and who cannot discover in it the
wealth of Love which constrains the
little sOngster to pour forth his mel
ody; he who does not delight i'm the
boisterous jubilation- with which the
dog greets his human friends, in the
faithful eyes OF animals so full OF
expression, in the beauty and interest
of their ways and actions; he who
does not love to watch the free un-
folding of their undevelOped natures
to him are wanting a joyous and
a refining moral influence. Such a
person is indeed incapable of a right
perception of natural feeling. -Zur-
