 The farmers were not showing great inclination to sell, believing tnat better prices will prevail later. This belief IS also held by MT. Trip lett. He also found that farmers generally were in better position to hold than ill years, because nearly all have turned to diversification and are producing their needs.

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK

UTHILE the enormous war orders
w are responsible in large measure
for the hesuddenresumption of in
dustrial activity and the expansion of
steel plants, the bumper crops of 1915
must be reckoned with in the final
analysis. Prosperous conditions, it is
true, are somewhat sporadic but it is
rectly diagnose what is going on that
the channels of trade in all lines are
gradually being opened and, as a re-
suit, a lively year is promised.
Great leaders of finance and COM
merce do not hesitate to express the
opinion that the United States must
prepare to adjust its business to new
conditions and to be ready to meet the
situation which will confront us at
the close of the European war. All
manner of speculation is heard re-
garding the immediate results Uf a
sudden cessation of the hostilities
abroad, but the views are so divergent
that it is difficult for the ordinary citi-
zen to reach an intelligent conclusion
as to what may be expected.
With the optimism of the American
people, however. there is disposition
to accept the facts as they now appear
and to proceed with energy and conf
dence along the legitimate lines of
trade and expansion. Here in Harris
burg the outlook is quite favorable.
Most of our industries are in active
operation and labor is employed at
good wages. Rumors of further eX-
pansion of large plants increase the
general confidence of the community
in the immediate future. Everywhere
throughout the city and this section
builders are busy and something in
the nature of building boom is prom
ised with the coming of next Spring.
So that altogether the gladstone
Christmas season comes on apace un-
der more favorable conditions than
have existed for several years. OF
course, there are disquietlng factors
here and there, but a general spirit of
optimism pervades the community and
disposition to go ahead is widely
prevalent.

THE LESSON OF THE PARKS
kansas City Starl

lhdHSdS OlJy star
Nobody now stops to think of the
dire predictions of the knockers who
fought the parks when Kansas City
began the development of what is now
its greatest civic asset. We see only
the splendid results that flowed from
the final triumph of the go-ahead citi-
zens over the pullbacks, while the last
echoes of the "confiscation' shrek
have died on the air.
Now that we have the parks, now
that they are paid for, and the most
skeptical have been forced to admit
the tremendous return they have
made to Kansas City in increased
property values and as city adver-
tisement, we can see what blow to
progress it would have been if the
knockers had won or if they had sue
ceeded in substituting a dinky plan
for the big and comprehensive one
adopted.
1t is safe to predict that the same re-
suit will follow in years to come when
the Union Station improvement is a
reality. Kansas City will look at the
completed project, and if it remem-
bers at all that there was a knockers
fight on it at its inception will re-
member it only to wonder that there
could have been persons so short
sighted as to have doubted the certain
return it was bound to yield. After all,
1t is results alone that endure. The
smoke and din of the battle soon pass
away and are forgotten. 1t was so in
the park and boulevard fight. 1t will
again be so when the will of the people
has been carried out in the station i'm
provement.

OUR DYEsTUTF INDUSTRY

NTHlLE the Democrats are en-
w deayoring to sidestep an up
ward revision of the tariff
and at the same time replace the du-
ties on sugar for the benefit of their
Southern friends, the need of greater
revenue is bound to force change of
attitude at Washington.
Citizens of the United States are
not going to submit quietly to the i'm
position of an alleged war" tax when
the revenues could easily be increased
without serious disturbance of condi-
tions through a restoration of GUS
toms duties upon imports. Unless
some such policy shall be adopted the
government will not only be without
sufficient revenue to care for national
defense and the ordinary expendi-
lures. but will throw open the doors
at every port in the country to an in
vasion of the cheap products of Eu-
rope at the expense of the working
men and manufacturers of the United
States.
Already bill has been introduced in
Congress, at the present session, to en-
courage the establishment and main
tenance of dyestuff Industry in this
country capable of supplying all the
needs of American manufacturers.

The Colonel is dead one, the Colo
mel is only playing possum. The Colo
mel is going to grab the Republican
nomination. the Colonel is going to
run Progressive again with Hi John
son. Perhaps he will hitch his wagon
TO donkey, and ride with Bryan i?
The Colonel is going to command
Canadian troops in Europe, the Colo
mel has no desire to stay at home
and tear Wilson to pieces" The
Colonel agrees with Parker that Ford
is fool, and with Ford that the coun-
try has not done just what 1t should
have done with regard to the war.
Chairman Hilles reports the Repub-
licans all for Root. The Colonel has
a hangover Republican designation, -
Nebraska brand, vintage of 1912, and
orders it out of existence. Perkins
assures the Colonel of general desire
for his candidacy on their ticket by
the Progressives, and the Colonel is
silent as two sphinxes. Would he ac-
cept a Republican nomination? The
Colonel is never a candidate, saws
Perkins; but he is enrolled as q Pro-
gressive, "and I do not believe he
will ever change" Speaker Clark
says the Colonel will be the Republi-
can choice; the Speaker put his name
into speeches, and it brought cheers
when that of no other member of his
party would accomplish that result. .
