Properly Represents party.

Praising President Wilson and in
sisting that he must have the support
of all patriotic Americans, Mr.. Taft
says in the same breath that the Dem
ocratic party has shown that 1t is not
the proper agent of government" Then
how does Mr.. Taft account for the
man whom he indorses? Where did
he come from? Who is responsible for
him? Not one of the great presidents
after Washington, who antedated par
ties as they now are known, was more
distinctively party product than
Woodrow Wilson. He was nominated
and elected by Democrats. without flu
sion or coalition, and everybody else
was against him. Mr.. Wilson may
properly be criticized and the Demo
cratic party may properly be criti-
cized, but they will stand or fall to
gether.

RETURN TO NORMAL
Business Conditions Show Con-
tinuaI Improvement.
Enormous Difficulties Which Were
Faced by the Democratic Admins
tratlon Have Been Overcome
by Wise Legislation.

OF the rapid return Of prosperity
there Is every indication in the re-
ports from many industrial centers.
The testimony everywhere points the
same way.
Naturally at this time the tendency
Is to emphasize the influence Of war
conditions abroad upon the revival Of
business in the United States. It is
easy to lay too much stress upon this
phase of the situation. So-called war
orders affect directly only limited
number of industries In this country.
Discrimination of certain parts OF
the national system of production and
exchange would be an uncertain way
to the restoration of a generally
healthy state of business. 1t is a
broader business recovery than this
which Ia recorded.
The normal condition of this coun-
try is prosperity. 1t produces and con-
sumes on a scale of it's own that calls
for the activity OF most Of it's ener-
gies. 1t Is one OF the few self
suff1cing countries in the world, and it's
resources are still undeveloped. Even
in spite of the war, industry and trade,
with their adaptation to new circum-
stances, should regain their proper
level In time. They may regain 1t
more quickly because Europe as a
producer is largely idle and is wasting
its strength and wealth in war, but we
have every reason to trust in the flu
ture, because as people apart we
are at peace and must feed and clothe
and build for 100000 Americans
and their neighbors.
