SAYS COUNTRY
 IS IN DISTRESS Pacific Railroad Head Speaks In Chicago CRITICIZES BOOSTERS Prosperity Is Real; We Don't Have to Look for It.
 Declares William
 Sproule
CRITICIZES BOOSTERS

Chicago, February 25.-"The country is in the midst of period of unempoy- ment and distress. the like of which the nation never saw before." William sproule. president of the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific company, said here tonight in an address at the annual dinner of the Traffic club.
 Mir. Sproule attributed this condition to what he said was the clamor against all sorts of public businesses, and predict ed it's end only when returning prosperity for employers should spell prosperity for the employed. He took vigorous exception to any suggestion that conditions would be better because business men believed they would be better
 "rhe booster lifts nothing higher than the level of his own teeth" the railway executive said. "rhe trumpeter of pros- perity beguiles only his own ears Pros perity is real or it does not exist We do not have to look for it; it comes to us. It grows within our sight like a plant coming in flower. 1t comes to us when the employees resumes employment, and it will not come te us until the people generally discover that their condition im- proves only as their employer is pros porous
 Tt is the habit 10 speak of unemploy ment as if it related only to those who work for a specific wage. It is thought of chiefly as relating to those engaged in mirror places.
 Facts Contrary
 'The facts run quite to the contrary. It is the employer who is first out of em- ployment As a natural sequence he is followed by the employe, who next finds himself out of work. When the employer is prosperous and his energies are prop erly employed, employees have abundant employment and they also prosper.
 But why is this period of unemploy- ment? It is because all is bewildered and uncertain. A long period of msrepresen- tations, misunderstanding and pettifog ging has so misled the public mind that, throughout the country. every prosperous business, indeed every organization, pros porous or not which is big enough to at- tract the public platform performer, finds that it exists in an atmosphere of at- tack.
 '"rhe nation Is filled with political econ- omists. Business is filled to satiety with economic theories When men ask for work they are handed an epigram. But the sad fact is. the more political the ories are proposed the poorer become the people. I urge the prosperity of the av- craze man.

FROHMAN'S LAST PLAY

Charles Frohman, the most prominent theatrical
producer in America has fallen victim to the war 1t
is somewhat of coincidence that his latest play had
war lesson in it and failure because New York
audiences refused to take it seriously 1t was labelled
The Hyphen" and had to do with hyphenated Americans
of foreign birth whose native lands are at present en-
gagged in the European war Only the other day one Of
our exchanges, commenting editorialy on this drama
and citing the reason for its failure admitted its tme
ness literary merit and patriotic felvorbut the New
Yorkers simply laughed at what was supposed to be
serious earnest melodrama and not comedy.
1t seems that subway is being built outside the
theater When one of the hyphenated Americans in the
play declared that the factory that turning out
material for the allies must be destroyed series of blasts
were set off in the subway In fact the bombardment
continued there throughout the performance The actors
were unnerved and the audience laughed 1t refused to-
take "'The Hyphen" seriously.
And it is so with foreignborn citizens who have the
habit of expressing themselves ndiscreety about the war
They too are not taken seriously In fact they do not
take themselves seriously when they make statements
that may be construed unpatrOtic to this country
is the conclusion of this editor
1t perfectly natural for these people to feel deep
interest in the land of their BIRTH but when it comes to
a showdown the vast majority Of them will be found as
in the past true to America.

INCOME FOR MARRIAGE

Posted conspicuousy in national bank in Chicago we
are told, is the following:
Employees of this bank receiving salary of less
than $1,000 year. must not marry without first consult
ing the officials of the bank and obtaining their approval"
This, of itself, is bad enough. But when a woman
comes forward to defend such action-what pass we
have come to. And yet this woman, who writes, and
writes well, recently devoted two columns to defense
of the officials of that bank She defines as "fatuous" the
theory that happiness draws dividends She says is
stomach than heart and declares that Cupid runs
things on commercial lines" How about all this?
The vast majority of such comments as are commonly
made concerning marriage and its undesrabiity where
money is scarce leave love out of the consideration en-
trely 1t becomes question of how much the man can
DO for the in the way of giving her things and
providing comforts and luXues The fact that true love
makes up for almost any lack of luxury and can even
compensate in the case of necessities is not brought into
the matter at all The fact that it is better to stave on
such high thing true love than to exist on such low
things of the substitutes offered is not even
granted
