War Material
(From the Providence Journal)

The Chief Of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. addressing
an association OF bankers, suggests
caution in acclaiming the arrival OF
prosperity, inasmuch as the liveiiest
trade impulse. just now, is the demand
for war material.
No country ever had this kind Of
boom of the magnitude OF the one the
United states is enjoying. II Is cor
respondingly dificult for experienced
observers of trade movements 10 tell
inst what TO expect from It. On the
other hand. the immediate benefit to
national industry, commerce ana
finance Is Enthusiastically widespread,
for the term war material compre-
hends an amazing variety of products.
The war demand is by no means
limited 10 what are styled 'muni-
tions." It may even be believed that,
both in quantity and In value. the
greater commerce is in commodities
of everyday use and consumption
boots and freight cars, roodstuifs and
harnesses. automobiles, mules and
the best Of horsefesh, articles in wood
and the metals, textile. chemical,
electrical and mechanical products
about everything. Il might be said
produced on the farm, In the mine on
by the factory turns out TO be war
material" There is, perhaps, only q
single striking exception to the uni.
versatility of the demand, jewelry.
But even the sinister classification
munitions" represents a surprisin'
diversity Of industry. Farm and minl
and factory contribute raw materia
TO the finished product OF the ammu
milton makers. A leeting newspape
paragraph mentions a contract Q
some million pounds or alcohol fo
a powder factory. II Is more familia
that cotton enters into the productio

Each was the architect of his own fortune" and
teacher had taught him 10 believe that all the build
ing materials to be found in distant places.
After they had failed as architects, many Of them
humbly but glsdly back to the old district and
succeeded farmers.
"Now before in the world, opportunity is
found on the farm and every school teacher should
know that" said Farm Life There are more states
Of real worth and genuine poets coming from
the tall grass than from the tall buildings. The wider
horizon is the privilege Of youth, but it is visible TO
every one who lifts his head at home while is too
often obscured by clouds OF smoke 10 the soourner in
the cities DO let teacher fill the minds OF your
children full Of cheap while she ignores all
the beauty and dignity that should make rural life

II wogd be interesting to know how many slch

districts in Delaware II might pay Commissioner wag-
ner his associates to sound the pupils in the dis
trcts they visit ascertain the extent OF that sort Of
trouble and apply the remedy BY doing they would

ties without being accused of throtting ambition. In

Champ Clark, Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives, delivered address TO Maine audience in the
FAN Of 1913. In the course of it he said eve be-
lieve that our tariff bill will reduce the cost Of living
more fairly adjust the subjects Of tariff taxation and.
at the same time, raise abundant for the
ernment' This is the Summer OF 1915. We ask
Speaker Clark; Has it reduced the cost Of living?
it fairly adjusted the subjects Of tariff taxa
ton? Has it raised abundant revenue for the govern
ment? An honest made by him to any of those
questions will show conclusively that he grievously
mistaken on every article of the political creed he ad
vanced with such seeming candor in Maine almost two
years ago The Underwood tariff has not cheapened
the cost of living II has not made satisfactory adjust
ment Of tarin taxation and it has not produced the
needed revenue In short has been failure in all
the things claimed for it, by those who forced it upon
the statute book.
