Ex.PresIdent Optimistic.

Ex-President Taft told members OF
the Hamilton club that the Republic
ans would come back to power
next year. He paid his respects to
the Democratic administration by say
ing that President Wilson should in
no way receive credit for the present
indications of prosperity.
Mr.. Taft put the finishing touche,
on his Republican optimism by say
ing the Progressives were coming back
into the party in droves.
The rank and file of the Progress
sives are coming back 80 rapidly" said
Mr.. Taft, that in 1916 there will not
be enough left in their own organiza-
tion to make their party anything
more than a negligible quantity.
Present prosperity is no reason for
continuing the present national admin
istration in power. The Wilson ad-
ministration was not an agency in
bringing on this prosperity. Place the
country in the hands of the grand old
party again and prosperity will be
with us to stay.
The 1912 defeat of the Republicans
was good thing for the party. am
able to say It because ! was the first
man hit. Sixteen years Of power had
weakened the cohesion of the Repub-
lican party. The interest of groups
had transcribed the interest of the
party as a whole.
Then. guided by a wonderful per.
sonality, the break came in 1912.
Those gentlemen may now stand aside
and regard their handiwork-the
Democratic administration. They are
not satisfied, and so have come back
into the old party. II the proper man
is selected to run, the Republicans
will have a good chance Of victory in

ments Concerning Prosperity.
War Has Caused Boom In Industries
Which Otherwise Would Have

stapdstlll.

The subjoined opinion Is credited
to Hon. Oscar w. Underwood. for
r1erly leading tariff maker In the
house and now senator from Ala
bama:
"Our manufacturing industries In
the Birmingham district have the
largest payroll in their history. and
they have not accepted q single war
order. I believe this country Is on
the eve of very prosperous condi-
tion of business and that we will soon
begin to feel the effects OF It through
out the country: In fact we are al
ready beginning to feel 1t In some
sections, as. for instance. in the Bir-
mingham district. The situation pre-
vailing there prevails to r certain de-
gree elsewhere
And for precisely the same reasons.
Manufacturing plants elsewhere are
30 choked with war orders that busi-
ness which otherwise might have been
theirs naturally goes to the lBirming-
ham district or to other districts that
are In a position to handle 1t.
Disentanglement OF the country's
impressive Industrial activity from the
direct and indirect war causes under
lying that activity is an intricate
problem. It's solution is not furthered
but rather complicated by state
ments that tempt to misleading de-
ductions.
The ratio Of responsibility to be
charged up against the Underwood
tariff for the deplorable antebellum
business conditions and the CONNER
cial disaster toward which we were
then apparently moving with such
alarming rapidity has yet to be def.
nitely determined. Perhaps It never
will be determined definitely.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Christiania says that the Norwegian.
American line has been compelled to
abandon transportation of freight
from America to Sweden. on account
OF the fact that Sweden does not
guarantee to Great Britain that goods
brought In will not be exported to
Germany. The liner Kristianiafiord
has arrived at Bergen with a cargo
OF 5000 cases Of American pork and
1900 bags OF coffee. These goods
must be returned to England on &C.
count of an order issued by British
authorities when the vessel was de-
tanned recently at Kirkwall. At that
time two American passengers were
taken ashore for observation. British
authorities are anxious to learn the
ultimate destination of the pork on
the Kristianiaford, as 1t has proved,
they say. that Swedish importers have
violated promises not to sell pork to
Germany

Without regard for the specific date
Of the catastrophe, the public mind
recalls August /. 1914. as the begin
ming of the worlds greatest and most
terrible war. The tragedies of daily
occurrence that have been told IN the
public prints have accustomed us to
thoughts of carnage and suffering
which this generation never expected
to have presented to it save on the
pages OF history.
The world war grows with the days.
The widest predictions seem not out
of range Of the possibilities. From
the declaration of hostilities, an event

did not recover for months, to the

span. And yet in that span the world
seemed to be set back centuries. One

And yet the world hopes. In the
midst OF its agony It looks upward for
comfort ana the hope That always
