QUALIFIED PROSPERITY.

From Chicago special correspondent
writes to the New York Evening Post,
a journal which endorees to the hilt not
only free trade, but all the other text
book policies in which the present ad-
ministration takes so keen a delig hit.
This correspondent discusses the bust
ness conditions of the past as shown at
the end of the first half of this year,
and he deals with the subject in terms
OF highly restrained enthusiasm, to say
the least. Taking all things into con-
sideration, he writes, 1.-The six months
of business this year has not been so
bad. 1t has been full Of uncertainty
and timidity, and more spotted than for
years, due largely to war uncertain
ties. The main factor has been the de-
sire to go slow in making purchases
and to liquidate as closely as possible.
Expenses have been high, and profits
in most lines small.
Bank clearings, he points out, shows
a decrease of nearly six per cent. from
last years figures, and as for what he
terms 1.-The recently noteworthy fea-
ture," the activity in the iron and
steel trade, he frankly admits that
war orders have been the real i'm
petus." But the true footing is ap-
parent when he touches the shoe in
terests and reports decreases in sales
OF six to ten per cent. due to general
slowness in trade. while other lines
have moved along in fair way with
trade rather below the normal.
This is truthful report, we have no
doubt. Where there are no war orders
to give a real impetus, trade in
truth is rather below the normal. p"
And when correspondent of a paper
like the Evening Post can find no more
to say of the business for six months
than that it has not been so bad" he
is, to say the least. damning with faint
praise the policies under which those
conditions were produced.

WINNING WITH WELLER
Fifth Weeh of Road Chairman's
Campaign Has Begnn.
Special Correspondence of The Republican,

special CorrespOndence Of The Republican.
Baltimore, July &c, 1915.
The fifth week of Mr.. Weller's cam
palgn has begun. The first four weeks
were spent in carefully investigating
the sentiment of the rank and file of
the voters throughout the state. As a
result of this canvass it seems certain
that nine out of every ten representative
Republican voters are in favor of Mr..
Weller's nomination. He is the type
man the average voter wishes to see
elected to office. The average voter
also believes that Mr. Weller will win.
The rank and file of the party are with
MIR. Weller whatever may be the rea-
son.
This week Mr.. Weller is spending III
Frederick, Montgomery, Washington
and Allegany counties. He is meeting
the voters personally and making new
friends wherever he goes. This person
al canvass follows logically the plan
MIR. Weller has mapped out for his
campaign, which is simply direct
appeal to the intelligence of the one
hundred and two thousands of Republi-
can voters.
The nomination of Mr.. Weller is a
comparatively easy problem in view of
the overwhelming sentiment in his
favor. His election is a much more
serious undertaking. Most political
observers believe that he would GER
tainly be elected if a primary fight
within his own party could be avoided.
There are thousands of independent
Democrats who will vote for Mr. We'll
Ter on the simple issue of Good Govern
ment, but these will not be sufficient
unless his own party is solidly behind
him,
The opposition to Mr.. Weller con-
sists Of small group of appointed Of
flee holders. They will admit that Mr..
Weller's nomination is certain. There
fore, the only effect of their opposition
will be to lessen the chances of the
party in the general election. Do
these gentlemen wish to assume this
responsibility?
-Four years ago, the Honorable John
b. Hanna, now Chairman of the State
Industrial Accident Commission. was a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor. He had the support
of Baltimore City, Hartford County and
two counties on the Eastern Shore. In
addition, he had promises of support
throughout the whole state He was
thus, candidate with a real chance of
being nominated. A situation prevail
ed In the Democratic Party, similar to
that at present. The Republicans saw
an opportunity to win because of the
dlssensions in the other party. They
realized, however, that they could not
if they became embroiled in pri-
mary fight. Mr.. Hanna did the big
thing and retired in favor of Governor
Goldsborough for the sake of party har-
mony and success. He relinquished a
great opportunity to be Governor for
the general good.

WOULD MORTGAGE FORESTS
FUTURE INCOME
Article by Blreau Chief Advocates
Plan TO Stimulate Agricultural
DEVELOPMENT.

Washington, July 27.-The Secretary
of Agriculture's plan to anticipate
future receipts from the national
forests by securing an advance of
money from Congress for the construc-
rion Of roads, trails, bridges, and other
public works would stimulate agrlcul-
tural development and would relieve
many struggling communities from
their present burdens of taxation, says
an article contributed by the Chief of
the Forest Service to the Department
of Agriculture Year Book, just issued.
This policy. saws the article, would ap-
ply exclusively in those counties where
there is a considerable area of national
forest land so located that the forest
resources can not be marketed. al
though later they will yield a large
revenue. 1t would fully meet the
local difficulties arising from aid in the
protection and development of the
forest resources; and would remove the
one barrier which in few places pre-
vents farmers from Immediately en-
joying the benefits of the national
forests.
Millions of acres of farm land are to-
day undeveloped because of a lack of
good roads. In opening any new country
road building constitutes hard problem
for the settlers. At first, while the
settler is struggling to erect his home
and farm buildings and to clear his land,
ne usually can not afford to pay high
taxes or otherwise contribute toward
the expense of road building. The
national forests comprise the remotest
and least settled regions of the country
In many cases farming in these To-
calities is still pioneering, under as
difficult conditions as have ever existed
In the United States One of the
principal reasons for the failure to de-
velop the large areas of excellent agri-
cultural land which lie near the forests
is the lack of roads.
The government is trying to meet
this problem in two ways, first by pub
lie improvements being made on the
national forests, and second by the d.
rect contribution to the counties of
share in the forests receipts. Up to
date the Forest Service has constructed
more than 2, 800 miles of roads, q, OOO
miles of trails, nearly 900 bridges, and
$4,000 miles of telephone lines. Every
one of these Improvements benefits
settlers and ranchers In addition,
there is appropriated annually for the
use of the counties in which the nation
al forests lie 25 per cent Of the gross
receipts from timber sales and other
sources, to be used for road and school
purposes. Some of the Individual for
ests are bringing in over 800, 900 q year,
and the business of the entire national
forest system is increasing so that this
direct contribution to community up
building is rapidly growing. In fact,
already total of nearly $500, 900 is OBJ
tanned from the forests every year for
county road and school purposes.

Sweeping Victory for Suffrage
Amendment in County Predicted

BURLINGTON. n. j., Oct. l6.-Woman
suffrage will carry Burlington County by
a substantial majority. This is the pre-
diction of leaders of all political parties
after a survey of the situation during
the closing week of the campaign.
The women themselves frankly admit
that they are not yet sufficiently schooled
in predicting results to attempt any fore
cast Of the vote they will roll up next
Tuesday.
With all Burlington oranges pledged
for suffrage, the amendment will have
easy sailing in the rural districts which
make up a big part of the county. The
women have conducted strenuous COM
pagn In the big towns and cities. but
the interest of the male population has
not been as apparent as they should have
liked il to be. Some politicians say this
apparent lack of interest is due to the
absence OF "A contest, as the "antis" have
not entered the county. Others say that
men have made up their minds as to how
they will vote from reading the news
papers and periodicals.. and that the
women need not fear the result.
The only direct campaign against the
amendment is being waged by the liquor
dealers. and as their work Is by under
ground methods and they have a big

BUSY CAMPAIGN IN MERCER
Hunterdon and Somerset Counties
Favor "Votes for Women"

TRENTON, n. j., Oct 16-In Mercer
County the suffrage campaign which mas
been bitterly waged on both sides, Is
rapidly nearing a close. Suffragists and
"antis" here are each contending that
the county and State will support them
at next Tuesdays election. The sup
port of the suffrage cause in Mercer
County by such men as Prosecutor Mar
tin p. Devlin and City Clerk Frank
Thompson, as well as by a number OF
higher-up politicians. is said by the suf-
fra gists to insure their victory.
on the other hand the "antis" are
particularly active. Their most import
ant leaders are members of the upper So
cial set Mrs. f. Yarde Breese, presi-
dent of the New Jersey Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage, and Mrs. O..
d. Oliphant, two young society matrons,
as well as Mrs. Clark Fisher Andrew.
the famous woman anvil manufacturer of
this city, have led the opposition in Mer-
Ger County. From a careful review Of
the situation at this time, the proposed
amendment for votes for women" II is
believed, will be defeated in Mercer.
Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, 1t is
believed, will favor the proposed amend
ment. The campaigns have not been so
and Monmouth Counties, however, deep
interest has been taken in the question
by both sides. The advantage so far
seems to be with the "antis" in these
two counties.
