empowered to go into your personal
affairs for the purpose of seeing wheth-
er your returns for the graduated In
come tax are full and complete. We
have the pure food law, under which
vast range of production is subject
ed to inspection and regulation In the
most minute detail. Everywhere, IN
every direction, supervision OF bust
ness is the characteristic OF the day.
And with the exercise OF power over
business under the constitution as 1t is,
comes the desire for enlargement OF
power, so we have proposals TOT
amendments to the constitution which
will give to the national government
opportunity to extend and increase its
control over the conduct of affairs IN
every state and in every locality.
II say the scepter has passed. The
control has changed, and 1t is impos-
sible to resist the conclusion that there
lies the reason for the stagnation, the
hesitation, the timidity, the unwilling
ness of American enterprise today.
You cannot say it was the tariff alone.
You cannot say it is the restrictions
upon the trusts, the suits against the
trusts or the great corporations which
are called the trusts, alone. You can
not say it is the Clayton law or the
trade commission law alone. But the
men who are controlling the govern
ment of our country today are men
who have been fighting the tariff so
many years, have been fighting the
trusts, or what they thought were the
trusts-the great corporations-so
long; have been fighting the railroad
companies, the express companies and
the telegraph companies SO long; have
been fighting the banks and the bank
ers so long, that when they come to
administer the government of the
United States they can't rid them
selves of an underlying hostility to
American enterprise. Underlying all
their actions is an uneradicated but
not uneradicable hostility to the men
who they think have profited unduly
by the tariff, to the men who. they
think have unduly proflted by trusts, to
tn men who they think have profited
unduly by the control of the banking
funds of the country, and to the men
who they think have made undue
profits or dividends out of the railroads
and the enterprises that surround the

proper administration of railroad.
And the reason why business does not
start is because way down in the heart
of Americans there is a doubt as to
what is going to happen at the hands
of hostile government.
Nov, what is going to be done
about it? Merely electing republi-
can president in 1916 ought not to be
enough. The country can't live and
prosper with such misunderstanding.
The people who are doing these things
are honest and good Americans, but
they misunderstood great part Of the
country. They don't realize that you
do your business in the city of Phila-
delphia on the same principles that
they use when they drive load of
wheat to the elevator or load Of po-
tatotes to the nearest town-upon no
other principles, just as honestly and
fairly. All the glamor of occasional
wealth and the magnitude of opera
tons have blinded them to the essen
tial identity of the way in which they
do their business and the way In which
you do yours. say that this ought
not to be permitted to continue; this
misunderstanding ought to be cleared
away. 1t is question. it is serious
question, 1t Is question again of
preserving the union. for we cannot
live with that kind of misunderstand-
ing between the people of one section
and the people of other sections.
Nov the first thing which is plain
Is that the business men of America,
the honest, reliable, good, fair citizens
who are doing the great business of
our country, should become vocal and
take pains to see to it that they are no
longer misrepresented or misunder.

Uncle Wiggily Longears, the nice
rabbit gentleman, was walking along
through the woods one day, thinking
OF many matters, and wondering how
many Easter eggs he would have to
color during the next week to make
cough of them to hide for his little
animal friends to search for In his
hollow stump bungalow.
For Uncle Wiggily always gave an
egg-hunting party each Easter.
Il think about forty-leven dozen
eggs will be enough" said the rabbit
gentleman to himself, as he hoped
along on his red, white and blue strip
ed barber pole rheumatism crutch that
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. his musk
rat lady housekeeper, had gnawed for
him out of cornstalk "Yes, I'll col
or forty-leven dozen Easter eggs"
Well. no sooner had Uncle Wiggily
decided on this than he heard voice
calling to him:
uncle wiggily! Oh, Uncle Wig
gily! | say, Mr. Longears!"
Eyes. who wants me?" asked the
rabbit gentleman quickly.
TT is /, Mrs. Wibblewobble. the
duck lady" was the answer. DO you
want to take some of the eggs l prom
ised you for Easter? Can you carry
any of them now?"
'Thank you," answered Uncle Wig
gily, making a polite bow. and taking
off his silk hat SO 1t. would not fall II

visit to Grandfather Goosey Gander
and OH my way back will stop ano
get some of your duck eggs, Mrs. Wtb

1T will save you time next week
when you have so much to do to gel
ready for Easter" she said. I'll looH
for you when you come back, and nave

"All right answered the rabbit
gentleman, and on he hoped. Soon he
reached the home of his old goose
gentleman friend and had a pleasant
visit.
Come again." said Grandpa Goosey
when Uncle Wiggily started for home
II Will and you come over and see
me-" invited the rabbit gentleman.
He started through the wood to
ward Mrs. Wibblewobble's duck pen
but Uncle Wiggily had not gone very
far before he heard voice calling:

He looked all around but he could
see no one. Still he heard the voice
again, calling

"Who are you? Where are you?'
Uncle Wiggily inquired, for he wouit
never pass by If he could help any one

seal hunt this year. 1t is proposed
that two experienced aviators be en-
gagged to visit the east coast and the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence, respectively, just
before the opening of next season and
locate the herds. The information thus
obtained would enable the fleet to sail
directly for the scene Of the hunt in

The war has brought about revival
of canal traffic throughout Great Brit
ain, and the canal companies are doing
better than they have done In many
years. This Is due mainly to the con
gestion of the railways and at the
ports.
Practically the only limit to the traf
fic available to the canal companies is
set by the shortage OF labor and
barges. Most Of the younger barge
men joined either the army or navy
early in the war, and the canals, like
the railways, are frequently compelled
to refuse traffic because they cannot
find men to handle 1t.

in his recent speeches before the Fan
American conference at Washington
has dwelt upon the necessity OF better
financial relations with South America
as the necessary steps for the extern
sion of American trade there. 1t was
not his purpose, however, to deal with
widespread notion that the United
States can monopolize the trade OF
South America, or secure at least the
lions share. of it. 1t is far truer to say
that no country can monopolize the
trade of any other country, and that
we lack the fundamental economic re-
quirements for obtaining even the
lions share of the trade of South
America.
It is so easy to forget what is involv-
ed in monopolizing the trade OF any
country. We should be compelled
first, to buy practically the entire out
put of all the South American coun-
tries. We should be compelled In the
next place to be ready to sell them
everything they need to buy In ex'
change. Nor is this by any means all;
we must be ready to buy and sell at
rates advantageous to them as we'll as
to ourselves or the trade, will not pos
sess any economic basis. Practically,
thig means that we must utilize our
selves the vast bulk of what we buy
from them, and must make ourselves
the great bulk of what we sell to them.
We should also be ready to lend to
them as much capital as they wish to
borrow at better rates than they can
secure in Europe. For our intercourse
with them, we ought not to be DEEPEN
dent upon other nations at all; which
means nothing less than that the fac
ilities for transportation between the
United States and South America
ought to be as cheap and as rapid as
those with Europe. AS for banking,
currency, rates of exchange, credit, and
deferred payments, the conditions be-
tween the countries ought literally to
make trade with us easier quicker,
and more profitable than trade with
Europe.
Any one who has followed the re.
ports of the Pan-American conference
will see plainly that the lack of these
requisites is the very reason why that
conference has been called. While not
the most serious, the most obvious OF
our difficulties have been lack of
banking facilities and Of transporta-
ton. All the great foreign banks main
tain a chain of branch banks through
out South America by means of which
their merchants carry on direct trade
at the minimum Of expense and max
imum of ease. Most Of the great Eng
lish and German commercial houses
maintain chain of branches in South
America which do business direct with
the South Americans. We possess
neither. Indeed, 1t may be said that
the present conference Is to initiate a
chain of American banks and to en-
courage branch houses.
That indeed, is the first step. The
next will be better transportation. The
American steamers are slow and small
and the freight rates comparatively
more expensive than from Europe.
