This board held Office for three
years and part Of it for four. with
Mr.. Joy aslpresident. 1t will be seen
that the board was made up OF some
Of the most able and successful men
in the city. and when 1t is remem-
bered that they had Hugh l. Cooper
and Judge Logan as advisors in many
important matters it is difficult to
imagine that any set OF men would
have been able to handle the situa-
ton any better than it was handled
by them. Mr. Joy, the president, gave
It unlimited time and brought to bear
upon the work the broad vision and
indomitable energy which character
ICES his work in everything.
Results Not Spectacular.
1.-THE results of these first years OF
work were not spectacular. but they
were permanent and useful just the
same. The great new bridge now
making its way across the river is
the direct result of the work of these
men. The adjustment of freight rates
which they brought about Is silently
going on day In and day out, making
money and making business for the
shippers and merchants. The Mills
Ellsworth factory was saved to the
town and the American Cement Ma
chine Co. was located and put on q
solid foundation-now two of our lar
gest and most prosperous concerns
At this time also the Rein tract was
acquired-now valuable asset which
enabled the association to purchase
more land and locate the River Smell
ter.
Later activities under the second
board of directors are fresh in our
minds. The whole board, the execu-
tive committees and the various spe-
cial committees have been untiring in
their efforts. The president, ]. Al
bert Kiedaisch. has subordinated
every private interest to the work Of
the association. has brought to bear
upon it rare persistence and good
Judgment and those of us who have
been on the board with him can tes-
tify to his unfailing fairness and cour:
tesy; to our pleasure In association
with him in the work, and our regret
that his term has ended"
viii Have Support.
The new president goes into the
chair with the confidence Of his en-
tire board Of directors and of the
people Of the city He has been promi-
nent in many lines of activity, and Is
broad gagged business man, who
will not hesitate to take any step
that he believes is the right one for
the city. Mr.. Mcfarland has long
been interested in river transporta-
ton and in proper terminal facilities
for cities. He is active in the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
citation and in the other river improve
ment bodies.
The new board of directors Is cap
able Of giving much aid to the new
off1cers, and 1t is felt that a con-
tinued era of prosperity will follow
the new officers. and that the city
will feel the stimulus Of what Mr. Nc
Farland is pleased to call team
work"

Bonds in Time of Peace.

"He kept us out of war" Yet the
| Democrats OF the senate, with the full
approval of the Secretary of the
| Treasury-who happens to be also a
son-in-law pf the man who kept us
out of war"-propose bond issue of
$l3O, 100000 to meet the expenses in
cident to the mobilization of the ma
tional guard and to pay the cost of
keeping them there until January l,
1917.
Nobody outside of Heaven and the
White House knows why the guards
men were ever sent to the border in
the first place or why they are to be
kept there-and thus far no informa
ton has been forthcoming from either
place. There is more than suspicion
that the mobilization was ordered for
some obscure political purpose not
entirely disconnected with the Wilson
campaign for reelection. Whatever
the motive, the bill of expense runs
to a pretty figure. To meet it the
country is to be saddled with bond
issue which will entail not only the
payment of their face value, but "a
long annual interest charge.
We are at peace. The White House
tells us so. And Vance Mccormick
adds that it is the president who has
kept us out of war" Yet here we are
issuing $13O,OOO,0O0 in bonds.
The dilemma is interesting. Which
horn will the apologists for the adj
ministration take? If we are at peace,
if we really have been kept out of
war;" why are we to have $13O,OOO,OOO
of bonds to pay for the upkeep of an
army in the field? If we are at war,
what becomes of the chief slogan Of
the Democratic party?
The issuance of bonds in time Of
peace is no novelty when Democrat
sits in the White House. Cleveland
did it-and for sixteen years he was
referred to as "the last Democratic
president Wilson will do it-a,nd he
will succeed to Cleveland's title for an
even longer period.

Reports from the important business
centers are highly encouraging and in
certain industries there is as much
rush work as there was last year, with
a total volume we'll above that which
is usually seen at the latter part of
August. The general trade outlook
is quite reassuring, but will naturally
be governed by the great world events,
some of which are now clouded with
uncertainty. Within the last two years
the United States has come to be a
world power in trade affairs, which
means that it has new responsibilities
and is exposed to variety of forces
which were not influential before. The
continuing prosperity of our foreign
trade is one of the most hopeful fac
tors. 1t is evident now that Europe
will be forced to purchase heavily in
the United States after the war ends.
Negotiations under way show that this
country will probably do a large bust
ness with Russia as soon as trade
channels are opened.

new York, Sept. Z, 1915.
Throughout all the discussion of
railway and labor problems at Wash
ington during the past weeks, Wall
Street has maintained AN attitude of
confidence in the ability of the con-
fcrees to arrive at satisfactory basis
of settlement. During all the accumu-
lation of unfavorable reports and ru-
mors, and at times when railroad
peace seemed most improbable of ac-
complishment, the stock market never
tor moment lost its sense of secur-
ity, and any bear drive against the
railroad shares was quickly nipped in
the bud. The larger banks and
brokerage houses have kept a very
close eye upon the situation, and be-
ing constantly in touch with daily and
hourly developments at Washington,
have been in an excellent position to
guide the movements of the market
Stock Exchange authorities have ad-
vanced the opinion that rigid adher-
ence to the principle of arbitration
Will be construed as bullish factor
by the holders of railroad securities
throughout the country. Certainly no
railroad security will be benefited by
an absolute surrender to demand
tor payment of ten-hour day for
eight hours work and the consequent
chance of obtaining less than eight
hours real work from employees who
have but their own personal axes to
grind. Moreover, should the demands
OF four hundred thousand men be rec
ognized on the scale of eight hours as
basic factor, the same argument
must necessarily hold good for the
more than two million other employ.

In the event of strike of such
gigantic proportions as now seem:
possible, there is no question as to the
market course of the hundreds of mill

curities throughout the country. How

SOCIETY NOTE.

The Indian colony was substantially
increased by the arrival, a few days
ago, from out of the somewhere, OF
other dusky bucks and squaws, who
pitched their tepees just little beyond
Chief Jess Winnemuc's wickiup. The
newcomers who are headed by Chief
Sugar Sam and his squaw, Sugar
Susie, are not altogether strangers,
having been here frequently during
the last IS or 40 years. Sugar Susie
is, in all probability, president, or
chieftainess pain-in-the-face of the
society of ancient Piute danes, or
something like that, and the other
squaws of the party are evidently an
cient members of the same society.
