Local showers are predicted for to-

heat of the last few days has pushed

all kinds of vegetation have developed.

AS result of the activity of the
American Humane association there
is a movement on to observe May %
as humane Sunday, and it is planned
that the week preceding that date
shall be especially devoted to kind
ness towards suffering and helpless
children and to dumb animals. The
plan is to have special services in the
schools, public addresses and to have
clergymen refer to the work in their
sermons on Sunday. 1t is a good idea
to teach children to be kind to ami
mails because those little ones VINO are
brought up to do. that generally are
good in other ways. 1t is distressing
to see dumb animals neglected and
to see them beaten, and it is a good
idea to devote some little time to les

John Bunny.
(New York Sum-

All who laughed at George Fox are
not dead; here and there reminis-
cent of that glorious clown recites
his praises and bemoans the golden
days. But to most of us Fox is IL
name, and the memory we bear of
him is another's. John Bunny was
more fortunate than Fox. The linn
itations of the most spacious theater,
of the longest runs, are sitting and
contemplate in comparison with the
opportunities of the movies.
And however respectable was the
place of John Bunny on the classic
stage, those days were swallowed up
IN the great fame he won on the
film. That amazing face, capable Of
such distortion of mirth, of fright, Of
woe, of joy, as no other could COM
pass; that astonishing figure that
must have been OF some impene-
trable, indestructible, unbruisable ma
terial; that facility of accident and
extrication from the effect of acct
DENT; that hopeless disposition to
comical ILL., fortune; all were pre-
served, and even as the clown lay
fighting for his last breath thousands
roared their approval of his very an
tics and wiped their eyes of tears
of mirth when tears of regret and
sympathy might have been shed.
We should say that John Bunny
did good work. He brought relief
to countless overstrained, bewildered,
irept and puzzled men and women.
He made them forget their real cares
in his mock tribulations. Unlike
the testers of another time, his work
will go on, though he has gone out,
fact that, let us hope, brought
ray of comfort to him as he lay dy-
ing.

Prosperity.
New York Times,)

In a speech at Baltimore Mr.. Taft
discussed the business outlook. We
should be hopeful he thought, but
not extravagantly SO. Business should
find itself slowly and cautiously, and
not build too much. upon the activity
produced by war orders from Europe.
That kind of prosperity, he believed,
was artificial. Afterward the perma-
nent improvement would begin to be
realized. His purpose obviously was
to warn people against excessive en-
thusiasm for a kind of business that
will suddenly be cut off When peace
Is restored A more unqualified OPP
timism was expressed a day later by
Jacob Schiff, talking with reporters
a. Colorado Springs: The confidence
Of the American people is being re-
stored" he said land I look for the
return of days of prosperity the like
of which has seldom been seen in this
country"
Mr.. Schiff's opinion will be the more
widely adopted for two reasons-one,
that it is the forecast of sagacious
banker who speaks, from a specialized
point of view, and, two, that it is OPP
timistic, wherein it agrees with the
present Sldlt VI POphloi opcoN
business. And yet 1t is not radically
in conflict with Mr.. Taft's warning as
to the quality of advantage derived
from war orders. Mr.. Schiff's pros
perity will have to materialize in spite
of Mr.. Tafts well-founded misgivings.
Great good cannot rest upon a trade
in munitions of war. Europe is pledg-
ing her future productivity in order
h,,,- n
urgently requires. When peace is re-
stored she will have to begin to pay
for what was consumed and destroyed
in war; and in some related degree
her continuing buying power will be
impaired. Moreover. in order now to
meet special war needs American pro-
ducers are making wasteful OUTLAWS
for new machinery and for equipment
which will afterward have to be
scrapped: and much trade is DETECTED
from that normal condition to which
ultimately it must return. The loss Is
not Immediately felt here. The prices
paid for goods are high enough to
leave a profit in the hands of the
American producer, no matter how
vasteful the processes are; but waste
is yet something that everybody must
feel indirectly. If Europe is obliged to
curtail her consumption of goods when
peace is re-established, on account of
having been obliged to buy in so reck-
less a manner during war, all trade
will feel it adversely. Therefore, what
Mr.. Taft might call the ecstasy of
great profits in war orders will not
only come suddenly to an end. but
may have to he paid for dearly In
MANY, ,,oexpected WAYS
But the prosperity Mr.. Schiff talks
about is much more deeply rooted. A
great deal of capital has been saved in
this country, almost unawares. Bust
ness had been liquidated and DEBATED.
Economy had become, not exactly
fashionable, for it was never so bad
as that, but at least permissible. a
stock broker, for instance, could
change his of living without put
ting his credit in Jeopardy. And all
the time the sources of original
wealth were as prolific as ever. Agri-
culture hourished while the farmers
complained. The price of living
stopped rising, notwithstanding that
