Business Need Not Fear.

With reports coming from different parts OF the
country telling of gradual industrial revival. and
with keen observers among men OF big business
affairs, including James J. Hill and Jacob H.
Schif, expressing their conviction that conditions
arc the mend it is surprising to hear occasional
limitations OF lingering apprehension as to what
the nations industrial and commercial interests
may expect in the way OF legislation. Apparently
the disposition is not unanimous to accept Pre>i-
dent Wilson's that the work OF regula-
ton has been completed and that business may
advance with confidence.
Addressing the recent convention of the Ma
tional Association OF Cotton Manufacturers in
Boston. the president OF tho organization, Alfred
G.. Duncan. said: "Thc haIting attitude Of bust
nc>. Is the natural sequence Of recent national
policies and is caused by fear Of legislative and
governmental campaigns against business. +
Business must stand together and demand that
our representatives in State and nation conserve
rather than destroy the business interests OF our
country.
George ". Perkins addressing the Southern
Commercial Congress at Muskoecc. OKLA observed
that while European countries have been build
ing up great and powerful business drcadnoughts
in the way of large industrial units. our govern
mcnt has been destroying our business dread
thoughts by tearing down great industrial units
and it has the tcmcrity TO tell that VIC can sue
ccssiully wrest trade from these great European
industrial drcadnoughts by >allyfug forth and at
lacking them with fleet of old fashioned indus
trial iriGateS"
While the record OF the past may Justify
timidny. the fear OF inincal legislation in the
future wholly unjustified The country
has passed through great industrial crisis, which
upon II when it weakened and UMPIRE
pared. The administration at Washington and the
lawmakers OF the States have looked on in alright
as business bent before the storm; they can sec
it recovering now. and even the demagogue would
hesitate to lift a finger to retard it. This bust
recovery must continue with no Interrupt
ton ii the Democracy is to be retained in power
and no knows it better than those who sit
in the halls of legislation. Nor is there to
fear obstruction the part of the Federal
Trade Commission, though some definite knowl-
edge to its aims and purposes would perhaps
assist in the general progress.
1t is most probable that Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Duncan Were looking beyond 1916, and taking a
larger view of government policies with regard
to business. They were perhaps specializing upon
the possibility OF a cooperation between govern
ment and business in an endeavor for commercial
conquest. Certainly for the next two years at
least business America should be free from harn,-
full legislation.

A CITY Made to Order.

Ii there is anything romantic about the CRIME
and noise Of steel plant, Gary. Ind, will not
lack material for absorbing history. Ninc
wears ago April 49, officials OF the United States
Steel Corporation caused a carload OF cinders to
be dumped on the saDd dunes over which has
since spread tho city OF Gary. II is this city which
has now voted itself into the second class. In
1912 its population was 10000. This year it counts
close up to $4,000 No one knows but that the
next few years will witness an even greater in.
crease. The story of Gary is essentially that OF
cast about for a mid Western site 1t wanted a
combination OF rail and water transportation, cheap
land and plenty OF room in which to expand. A
place at the southern extremity OF Lake Michigan,
six miles east OF Indiana Harbor and twcnty-siX
miles southeast Of Chicago was selected, and was
called Gary, after Judge T.. H. Gary, executive
head OF the trust.
The city itself is an example OF the power of
wealth to create wealth The steel trust, alive
only to its own fortune, could not prevent-nor
did it seek to prevent-other firms and hundreds
Of persons from growing rich. The opponents
of unearned increment, appropriated by fortu-
nate spectators in land. have been treated to a
remarkable spectacle in Gary. From the time the
Lake Michigan Gary has prospered. 1t is city
made to order. The steel trust through its sub
sidiary the Indiana Steel Company, needed con-
venicnt city of 100000 population-a population
largely devoted to the manufacture OF steel and
allied products. Gary has not yet reached the
100000 mark. but it seems likely to.

King Cannot Lead the Church.

Is prohibition a religious movement: Some
OF most ardent prohbitonists claim that it
is, and that it represents the demands of the
Christian citizenship of this country. OF course
there many church people who do not con-
cede this all comprehensive claim that all Chris
tian citizens favor prohibition but by their silence
they enable the zealots to claim them and their
influence In England it is the churchmen who
have taken the most decided stand against prohibi
ton. The statesmen politicians started the agi-
tation, and in the press reports for time it ap-
peared when the King and his cabinet set the ex-
ample OF voluntary abstinence, that the Christian
citizenship of England was behind the movement.
But last Wednesday the York convocation OF
clergy of the established church went record as
opposed to prohibition by act OF the government.
The archbishop OF York said that comprehensive
scheme OF prohibition carried into effect wave
OF war enthusiasm, would have permanent
value. but would result in dangerous reaction the
moment peace came, and then there would be real
and regrettable intcnperance." The archbishop ap-
peared to deny that there is now real and regret
table intemperance" in England as has been repre-
scented by the prohibition advocates The convoca-
ton adopted resolution that while wishing to
support the government in all such measures as
may be necessary for the strength and safety of
The nation in time OF war. the clergy would look
with anxiety upon the total prohibition OF the sale
of alcoholic liquors.
No one will accuse the clergy OF tho established
church OF England OF favorlng the brewers, dis
ters and saloon keepers, or OF having any other
ambition than to best serve the people and advance
the cause OF Christianity They NAV not he bet
