Ruin Not Yet in Siqht.

From all the business agencies Of
the country reports come of a remark
able extension and expansion of activi-
ties in the way of new enterprises and
a continuance Of large transactions in
the well.established lines Of industry
and commerce.
Not since 1907 has there been noted
such confidence in the future as is now
evidenced by the willingness of con-
servative interests to finance and pro-
mote sound enterprises in many and
varied fields of sndeavor. and, indeed,
in many instances where the fields
seem open and profits seem well as
sured there exists an eagerness to ex.
plot them, and money is not lacking
to back the desire.
This confidence is based upon the
general prosperity now admitted by
the most pessimistic to prevail
throughout the Union.

Chance for Mann to Make Good,

Congressman Mann, minority leader
of the house, in an address before the
Chicago chamber of commerce. went
on record as favoring preparedness
for national defense, preservation OF
home industries and control OF the
world markets. In the present crisis,
he declared. it is time to forget our
craftsmanship. yield much Of our party
afiliation and appreciate the nations
needs and opportunities. The senti.
ment is good; now let him square his
conduct in the coming congress with
his words by giving the administration
