Despite the boosted "prCsperi-
ty" which this country is saiG to
be enjoying, New York is the
only one of the seven large cities
that shows bank clearings as
large as were recorded for the
same period in either 1912 or
1918. For the week ended Nov
ember 13, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, St. Louis, Baltimore and
New Orleans reported bank clear
ings materially less than in the
corresL onding week in 1912 and
1913. All these cities report lar
ger clearings than in 1914, which
proves that the war has pulled
the country part way out of the
financial hole into which Demo-
cratic legislation had thrown it.
Not one of these cities had clear
ings as large in 1914 as in 1912.

Another Shift Of Opin-
ion.

The Presidents inviting of
Senator Gallinger and of Repre-
sentative Mann to discuss logis-
laIion is evidence of another shift
of opinion on his part. In his
Indianapolis speech, last winter,
Mr.. Wilson spoke of those who
we've then opposing the Wilson.
McAdoo scheme for the purchase e
Of ships and said that they were
blind, misguided or ignorant,
Senator Gallinger and Mr. Mann
were amcng the opponents Of the
ship-pUrchase bill. Under Sena-
tor Gallinger'5 leadership tie
measure was beaten after the
administration had jammed il
through the House. Neither
Senator Gallirger nor Mr.. Mann
has changed his position in the
meantime. Yet the President
seeks to consult with these blind,
misguided and ignorant men!
Mr.. Mann says that the Presi-
dent is in need not only of Re
publican votes but of Republican,
b. 'ains to help him out Of his pre-
sent position. This is true-but
the wonder is that, after having
used such language regarding
the Republicans, the President
should now be seeking their as
sistance.

The inaptitude Of Democratic
administration has again been
demonstrated III the ranrer Of
handling the charges preferred
against Austro- Hungarian consul
lar officers in this country, By
permitting q statement to be
published in which an implication
of guilt was made, this govern
ment has been put in a position
where an apology may have to
be made to the Austrian govern
ment. This, and other Incidents,
make the people long for an ad-
ministration which will not have
to apologize or to be apoIogized
for. Happily, such an admins
tration is coming before long.

There isn't a more level-head-

class of people than the Ameri-
can farmers. They don't STAN

They read extensively and think
carefully. This is because thev
are engaged in a pursuit that
brings them close to nature, keeps
their minds free from prejudice
and gives them abundant oppJr-

They know that soon after the
beginning of the European war
there was an enormous increase
in the demand for all kinds of
grain, cattle, and other provis, |
ions, as we'll rs for horses. They |
know that this demand sent pri-

increased demand they were as

show that this Increase of acre

dence Of good administration.
Most people are inclined to think
that an administration that can
pay as it goes, that does not have
to resort to petty direct and vex-
atious taxation, is a success.
Most people in this country have
become accustomed to that kind
of an administration throughout
the long periods of Republican
control of the government. Most
people have come to understand
that "a fat treasury" never oc.
ours under a Democratic admin
istration, Nest people associate
a lean treasury with Democratic
policies. So why not be frank
about it?

When Woodrow Wilson was a
candidate for the nomination for
TIE presidency his publicity bu-
reau sent out an article which
began: Zone of the traits which
shines forth most conspicuously
in the make up of Woodrow viii
son is his remarkable felicity in
phrasing." And his record in
the White House has demoNstra-
ted the truth of the declaration.
He finds it Just as easy to form
phrases on one side of a question
as on the other. He can phrase
for free tolls or against them.
He has as great facility in con-
structing phrases for prepared
ness as against it. He phra~ed
the sugar tariff out of existence
and will doubtless phrase it in
again. His phrasing in support
of eXtravagant appropriations
was as "feIicitous" as his phras.
ing for economy. His phrasiLg
in aid CT the spoils system is per-
haps a little more effective than
his phrasing for civil service re-
form, hut the difference is due
entirely to the official powe" his
words carry now as compared
with the days when he posed as
a friend of the merit system.
When American business men
complained of the dull times that
came with the Underwood tariff,
the President merely coined a
few phrase3-a process as easy
as making fiat money. He re-
fused to voice phrases for the G. |
A. R. at the Arlington memorial |
exercises, but uttered them witt |
great felicity when Champ Clark |
accepted the invitation. The
murder of American citizens or
he high seas and in Mexico was
N |ccasion for phrasing at the
White House-notking more. The
'dopester" of the Wilson cam
'aign was certainly right mar
elous felicity of phrasing" is
ne of his most conspicuous traits.
n fact, it puts all other traits in
} almost total eclipse.

part of the manufacturing n sum
mer resort town of Valley Park, 10
miles southwest of st. Louis, fell rap
idly today, making possible a careful
inquiry to determine the extent of the
flood damage.
Reports Of drownings were uncon-
firmed this morning, though the coro-
ner last night said IL drown1ngs had
been reported to him. None was miss
ing in Valley Park today so far as
could be learned, though $500 persons
had been driven from their homes.
Thousands of acres of farm lowlands
along the river were still under water,
and it was impossible to learn definite
ly whether the scores, mostly white,
who a been reported missing last
night, had been accounted for.
The water stood in the streets OF
Valley Park today from two to four
feet deep. The Meramec river fell
the Mississippi. The Meramec is
flooded along it's entire course of 100
miles through the Ozarks. More n
100 miles of territory in the heart OF
the Ozarks between Springfield, Mo-,
and st. Louis, is cut off from commu-
nication with either city.

which cost at least 10 lives-posslbly

Equally distressing conditions pre-.

property and crops. Railroads, tele-

The Meramec river rose during the
night, while thousands of campers and
picnickers slept in the club houses and
banks. From 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ng until last midnight the river rose
, foot an hour. The food waters of
swollen Ozark mountain streams,
which empty into the Merramec, came
rushing down the Meramec In layers
foot high, tearing farm houses, club
houses. bridges and barges from their
mornings and hurting them against
rees n telegraph poles and against
Zach other in the mad rush toward the

Calls for help were sent to st. Louis
