INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS

Protection of domestic industries,
through the regulation of imports by
customs duties, has been INDICATED
on the board theatre of the worlds
experience. The country which has
most completely developed its re-
sources, which has most thoroughly
diversified its industries, best stands
the test Of war and most completely
meets the requirements of peace.
Back of the army must be the farm
and the factory. The ultimate support
of the military branch Of the nation.
The real reserves Of the army and the
navy are the mechanic and the farmer.
Preparedness is of as great import
anee as military preparedness; yes, of
even greater Importance, for no real
military industrial development can be
built up without a comprehensive in
dustrial development to sustain it. An
army must be fed and clothed and
equipped, and the final reliance for
taht food, clothing and equipment
must be upon native industries.

THE BUSINESS MEN

The business men of any commun-
ity represent its active, earning
wealth, and upon the business activity
Of any community Of men depends the
progress, intelligence, peace and hap
piness Of that people. 1t is not es-
sential that business men abandoned
or neglect their business to render
political service, or that they actively
assume the burdens of official life,
unless, indeed, their environment and
personal tastes lead in that direction,
but it is essential that they shall
unitedly use their influence to bring
into political life men of sterling
character and worth, and infuse into
political life an element of sound
patriotic purpose, so often sadly alb
sent from our political campaigns.
Business men are the backbone of the
country's material prosperity. They
should unselfshly see to it that the
backbone performs its proper Office
and gives stability to the entire struc-
ture

CARNEGIE GETTING POOR

Andrew Carnegie is becoming poor.
Today he has a fortune of only $780,
100000. Of what the vast wealth
which the iron master possessed when
he started giving away his money
twenty years ago in conformity with
his principle of dying poor, that is all
he has left. He is now far down on
the list of American rich men.
Cornegie has given away about
1925, 100000 If interest were to be
included on some of the funds he has
set aside the total would reach near
ly $400,000,000. This sum he has Civ
en- away in pursuance of his belief, as
expressed by DIR. Henry S. Pritchett,
president of the Carnegie Foundation
in his address recently in Pittsburgh,
that the man who dies possessed of
great wealth and who devotes no part
of it to the public use, has failed in
life.
The $20,000,000 which Carnegie has
left he has provided in his will al
most entirely to charity. Little will
go to his family. Thus, when his will
is made public, it will be found that
he really made good his boast that he
would die poor. There is, strictly
speaking, no record like his in this or
any other country.

Habits of the Wildcat.

To say that dog can whip his
weight In wildcats" is to pay about the
highest tribute to his strength, cour-
age and activity, and there are very
few dogs that would care to earn such
tribute II they understood all 1t Inn
piled. Not that wildcat is OF spe'
cially aggressive disposition. On the
contrary, he would sooner mind his
own business any time than fight. SO
anxious is he as a rule TO keep out
Of trouble that he has often been nc
cused of cowardice, but he has on so
many occasions given evidence Of the
most desperate courage that 1t Is
doubtful If the accusation is q fair
one. When wounded or at bay he is
perhaps as dangerous as any creature
OF his size.

millions of soldiers now fighting must
take up their former peaceful pur-
suits and begin the long, grinding
work of paying the price of war. II
will be the grievous toll of years, OF
generations, and these millions must
be content with meager wages, for
capital has gone and but small per-
centage at first will be able to find
work at any price. The gold of Eu-
rope has been spent for munitions of
war, and much of it has been spent in
America. 1t must be brought back,
and there is only one way to recover
it. America must buy European pro-
ducts, and these products must be
put on the American market at prices
that will be less than the cost of home
manufacture. That will easily be
done under our present Tariff law,
which approaches Trade.
When peace has Cancelled war ord
ers and closed factories in this coun-
try there will come time when BUSH
ness depression will bring its direful
consequences, and if, atop of that,
there is no Protection to check Eu-
ropean underselling our condition may
be as bad as though we were physic-
ally at the mercy of foreign invad-
er.
The very first work Of prepared
ness should be straight revision Of
the Tariff, that American business
and the American workman may be
Protected.

BELLIGERENTtj SHOULD GET
TOGETHER

1t has been commonly thought that
the United States was destined to
lead in the peace movement, says
the Traverse City Record-Eagle, but
there is no logical reason for believ-
ing that it will be started here on
account of the jealousy taht has been
aroused during the war because of
the prosperity of the United States.
Ultimately this nation will have to
decide their part to play in the war
settlement, but is is apparently not
for a commercial nation to start the
movement and get it under way.
The chances are good now for get
ting the belligerents 70 talking along
lines that will lead to peace and it
is hoped that nothing will intervene
to change their attitude in the mat
ter.
Now and then there springs up
some plan for securing peace among
the nations of Europe, but none of
them come to any good end. Ever
since the war started, however, the
Vatican has been actively engaged
along the line of formulating some
kind of plan whereby the belliger-
ents could be brought together. From
all indications it is evident that when
peace finally gets safely on the way
in Europe it will be given its i'm
petus by Pope Benedict On account
of the fierceness Of the strife and the

THE KIND OF MAN NEEDED

A Greensboro, North Carolina
newspaper, says
If Mark Hanna were alive and in
health today he would be the most
prominent man as candidate for Pres
ident; he was the link between bust
wrote gold in the Republican plat
form and saved the country from the
hopeless abyss of reputation, and the
country stood by him.
Today we need a man who will
stand up and tell tariff reformers that
the Republican party stands for pro-
tective tariff, for high protective tar
iff, for the highest protective tariff
that the country has ever known; such
a plank will be indicated at the polls
and the patriot who writes it will
stand by side of Mark Hanna when
true history is written.

BROTHERHOOD MEET
ING WELL ATTENDED

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Brotherhood of the congregational
church was held Tuesday night in the
church dining room.
A fine supper was served by the
ladies at 6:30 o'clock, at which about
forty men sat down, and enjoyed the
feast. George Il. Wagner, the new
president of the club called to order,
and in the course of his remarks, con-
graduated the membership for the
goodly number present, and stated
that there was now fifty members
but more was needed and suggested
that the hundred mark ought to be
reached.
Secretary Clyde A. Knapp read the
record OF the last meeting and the fol-
lowing were appointed chairman of
committees-Dr. j. II. Armstrong on
public meetings; Mayor A. M. Hall,
public welfare and Verne Brown on
the invitation committee. President
Wagner gave the meeting over into
the hands of DR.. J. II. Armstrong, who
introduced Andrew Fyfe of Grand
Rapids, the speaker of the evening,
he said: "Mr. Fyfe who is the presi-
dent of the Land Site Tax league of
the state of Michigan, needed no in
PRODUCTION to a Bedding audience"
Mr.. Fyfe gave most interesting
and instructive address on the single
tax theory, as put forth by the late
Henry George, the great economist.
He is an enthusiastic and firm believer
in the single tax idea as against the
system now in force, and built up
fine argument from the proposition
that there are two kinds of values
wealth values, and communal, social
or population values, and the commun-
al values are but reflections of the
presence, worth and needs of all the
people just as are communal expenses.
The single tax would absorb in taxa
ton all such communal values for
communal expenses, before
taxing wealth values.
Mr.. Fyfe talked for an hour and a
half and held the attention of all very
closely.

Fred Schlegel and had-been in poor

ing here about six months ago to

She was 76 years old and was born
in Scotland, moving to Canada and
from there to Saginaw, Mich.

determination of both sides to gain
from the other nothing but relig-
ious force seems probable in starting
the nations on the right track. The
neutral nations stand ready to inter-
cede in favor of peace, but there are
certain prejudices existing on both
sides against most of the neutrals
that handicaps the pacific work. The
Vatican is strictly eligious power
and has no decide Impathy with
one side orthe other and for this rea-
son it is logical to conclude that the
good Offices of the Pope will be ac-
cepted by all the belligerents when
it comes to the final act in starting
the peace movement upon its way.
