Ew YORK, October 2-(SpeciaL)
M The evidences of prosperity and
the enthusiasm among the iron
and steel people particularly existing here
now are unprecedented
Many of the iron and steel people of
Birmingham are here today and some of
the orders they have are at unusual
prices. AS much as eighty dollars per ton
is being offered for steel for shrapnel
shells. This means four cents a pound
for Birmingham made steel. The deal to
combine several of the large foundries
and machine shops of the Birmingham
district has practically been completed
and this will mean the employment of
chinists
y :: :;
The Tennessee Company is overwhelmed
with orders and at the fanciest prices
ever known.
Incidentally, the iron and steel men
who know the inside of steel making in
this country, the cost of production and
the prices now prevailing predict tre-
mendously high prices for all the steel
stocks. They are practically unanimous
in expressing the belief and prediction
that United States Steel stock will go

National apple day on the third
Tuesday in October should be observed
by every citizen" said L. T. Douglass
of Douglass Brothers, Morris avenue
merchants. THE apple is one of the
most healthful fruits grown and should
be eaten whenever possible.
National apple day was started
some years ago by apple growers OF
the northwest. The movement has spread
until 1T now is observed by many
states in the union. In some states,
children in the schools are requested
to bring an apple along with their
lunch and the day is made festive
occasion
Retail dealers in fruits on that day
make a special display of apples and
urge the public to buy them and eat.
The apple is a real health food, and
national apple day should be made an
institution in the south as well as in
the west"

For some of this armor, there

Use THE TOOLS AT HAND.

A number Of people expect to
vote for John NJ. Parker for gov
ernor on the ground that he is
the best man Of the three candl-
dates for governor. The motive
is very commendable; it is our
duty to vote for the man who can
give the best service; but in decld-
ing in the present case which can
do so, we must take into consld-
Grafton several things.
We must consider, first the po-
sition Mr.. Parker will be placed
in, if elected.
AS governor he will have con-
siderable power in the way OF
patronage but with democratic
legislature antagonistic to him, it
is not only doubtful, but hardly
probable that he will be able to
carry out his promises, especially
so as the members of the legisla-
ture generally are being over
looked by the voters and practi-
cally no promises acted Of
them.
Another consideration is that
man to accomplish things must
be able to use the tools he has to
work with. A governor must
work through his Legislature and
the Legislature is composed Of all
sorts and conditions of men. Now,
while Mr.. Parker has taken
prominent part in several reform
elections in New Orleans and was
a leading spirit in the good gov
ernment league, still he has not
had the experience in practical
politics and public life that he
must have to meet and overcome
the difficult position in which he
would find himself as governor
with an antagonistic legislature.

If preparedness brings war, as
experience abroad shows that II
does, and if unHreparedness
brings war, as the private prollt
gentlemen tell you it Will, why
should you favor preparedness
; In either case you will do the
fighting, and in the first ease you
do the paying too!
| OF course it is mOnstrous to say
that a peaceful, upright attitude
toward the world, is going to pro-
woke war. But that is what the
preparedness gentlemen are
saying. We know that prepared
ness resulted in the European
war! so if both preparedness and
unpreparedness brings war, we
might as well save our billion dol

homeless, manufacturing cloth

for the hungry, giving jobs to tn

In this case there was nothing

lie thought IL would be an open Sc

looked the fact that education cannot

a smile and a grim determination to

who get discouraged quickly. They
cannot face their friends who seem
more fortunate because they have a

few take to suicide, some get reck-
less and show their weaknesses in
other ways. There is room and need
in this world for all men, but they
must make their own places. Few OF
us accept" positions, but many Of us

hunt. and the manner i'm which we
conduct ourselves in the process, as
well as the way we perform the daily
duties within our reach. that makes
whatever education we may possess
really worth while.-Milwaukee News
