How wonderfully is this great country of ours
equipped FOR sustaining life, and for furnishing
people with all the comforts and the luXuries.
And not only for needs. but for feeding
and clothing and catering to the pleasures of all
the nations Then, too, consider the tremendous
scale of production.
The value of mineral products in the United
States exceeds 81. SOC. 100000 a wear Six
years ago it was but little than 81 300 100000
Even these figures are overshadowed by the
tremendous totals rolled up by last years farm
products. Fourteen leading crops show total
valuation for the year of almost an $1,000
100000. and this takes account of the livestock
and poultry products, nor of garden truck. fruits,
ETC. which bring the grand total for 1914 up to 50
S12OOO,0O0 This is two thousand million dollars
more than the total farm product values of six
years ago.
The 1914 wheat and cotton crops broke all prc-
vious records. The corn crop was more valuable
than any previous years. Twenty-Five million
more bushels of apples were raised than ever be
fore.
Manufacturing statistics have not been com
piled since 1909, but the figures for 1914. available
soon, will show the country's wonderful progress
during the tive-year period.
Why should not this great country of ours pros
per III 1916! We are blessed with peace and happi-
ness. The other great nations torn with war
and strife. We are conserving and upbuding our
resources. Others DESTROYING both their hui
man and material resources with reckless abandon
So let us all pull for Prosperity in 1916 It is
the biggest thing looming on the horizon for these
United States of America. And Just as this pie
ture visualiZeS Prosperity; 50 let us think
Prosperity. let talk and write Prosperity: let us
spread the gospel of Prosperity until il pcrmcatcS
every nook and corner. Then shall the Rising Sun
of Prosperity shine its glorious RAYS on every
American and happiness and content shall fill the
whole land.

The slaughter of seventeen Americans by Mex
lean bandits Chihuahua is a shocking crime
that demands the severest and speediest punish
ment. But it is difficult to see how intervention
by the United States would right the wrong or pre-
vent its recurrence. Suppose threw an army
across the Rio Grande and entered upon war of
vengeance and subjugation. In time, no doubt we
should succeed but at what cost! And having
succeeded, what legacy of Latn-American dis
trust should inherit
There issues in which nation can spare
hazard sacrifice to uphold it's honor The
present case however, is not of that class. The
perpetrators of this crime were common outlaws
presumably straggers from Villas scattered forces
who have threatened to kill Americans as a means
of provoking trouble between the United States and
the de facto government of Carranza. Interven-
tion in these circumstances would be merely play
ing into the hands of gang of desperadoes. True,
the incident is not yet closed. 1t remains to be
seen what Carranza will say and what he will do
in reply to Washingtons urgent demands for salts
faction. But if his response is a proper one, as it
is expected to be, there will be no more occasion
for Intervention at this juncture than at any other
time of Mexico's stormy affairs during the last five
years. --at..
The reckless talk that streamed from certain
Republican Congressman and Senators yesterday
was intended obviously for political effect 1t is
easy to nag the President, but who of all the
snarlers has suggested course short of war,
wiser than that the Administration is pursuing?
Having Kept their heads thus far it is not likely
that the American people will cry for rash action
at a time when the Mexican situation, regarded as
a whole, is peaceful and assuring than it
has been for years This policy, of course is sub
ject continually to such changes the needs of
the hour may develop.

Weary of husks, the Progressive prodigal
turns penitently back to the old Republican home
stead. The parent party having decided to hold its
national convention June the seventh at Chicago,
the "Progressives" eagerly seize upon the same
time and place There may be little dallying and
maneuvering before the reunion is sealed, but at
the end the tattered> wanderer will be taken in.
When the Roosevelt faction deserted the Repub-
lican camp in 1912 and marched doughtily away to
the tune of Onward, Christian Soldiers were
told that Armageddon had dawned, that new
principle and power had arisen in American pol
itcs that the Moose had come forth to stay and to
conquer In those stirring hours, the Colonel" de-
nounced his late comrades, Messrs Cannon, Pen
rose, Root and their kind pack of thieves,
liars, weasels and whatnot. 20 EARTH what
changes hast thou scent" Today the Colonel's
lieutenants speak blandly of having both the Pro-
gressive and the Republican party choose the same
standard bearer and the same principles"
This means, If 1t means anything, that the Pro-
gressives will choose the Republican principles and
the standard bearer The adventurer has had his
fling and, finding it proftless, is ready for the
beaten paths again. In 1912 it was matter of
principles" in 1916, it is matter of heshpots

A .Tenth-Rate POWer.

In discussing the question of American pre-
paredness on a basis of munitions and equipment,
the Daily Iron Trade observes that in these essen
tails the United States today is not a tenth
rate power: 1T is not to be mentioned in the
same breath with the heroic though dimnutive Bel
gium nor yet even with Serbia"
If one lesson above all Others sounds from the
European tumult of the last seventeen months, it
is that of the fundamental importance of adequate
means for producing muntion supplies Germa-
nys wonderful vigor in pressing the war upon the
enemy soil and keeping it there is traceable di-
rectly to the organized power of her workshops.
The Allies greatly superior in human and
economic resources, but they were unprepared to
equip and maintain the millions upon millions, of
men at their command They were compelled to
devote the first year of the struggle mainly to the
task of repairing these mechanical deficiencies,
while the Teutons turned every day of that time
to aggressive account
Unless the United States is wholly unteachable,
unless Congress is hopeessly dense the countrys
needs and dangers, the nation will not be left
longer in it's present condition of heplessness1 to
meet great emergency.

The Spirit of Canada.

Canadas service and sacrifice for the mother
country make one of the peculiarly impressive
chapters of the The Dominions authorized
quota of troops this year two hundred and
fifty thousand, a generous enlistment for land
whose total population is less than eight millions,
whose unmeasured resources call so strongly for
labor and whose material treasures guarded
by vast leagues of ocean from the fire of the Old
World struggle. But instead of sending two
hundred and fifty thousand of her sons to fight on
foreign fields for the British cause, Canada
purpose to send half of million.
Nearly half that force is already under arms,
and recruiting continues at the rate of almost
thousand men a day. There is hint of
scription among the Canadians shadow of
sinking in a people whose hearts are encamped
across the sea- The cost of maintaining the army
now in the making will be five hundred million
dollarsIa year That burden, too, the Dominion
will bear cheerfully, and lightly out of its wonderful
resources. Can the coolest neutral among with
hold the warmest admiration for such spirit
repress a sense of pride that it springs from
American neighbors to the north?

more serious, because her first armies
routed and she has lost upward of 100000
in prisoners.
NO such failing of resources affects the
British or the Russians the Italians only
the French are face to face with the same
menace, and British numbers are coming up
to replace French wastage. Thus the Allies
believe that by spring the Germans will prob
ably be compelled to shorten their lines some
where. But such step, the evacuation of
France, Belgium Poland, will be the signal
to all Europe-to the world-that the end is
in sight 1t may come in April but it must
come before autumn this is the Allied calcu- .
lation on which the statesmen of four great
nations are stalking all.
1t would be extremely hazardous to venture 6
prediction of what will will not happen on the
war fronts in the next twelve months. But we
may safely accept the theory that if the Allies
"fafl in that time to make such progress as to be
able to envissge ultimate triumph, they will aban
don their present mood" We may also assume
with ample reservation for the mutability of al
things human, that if within that time the Teu
tonic Powers have not forced their enemy to
of defeat the Teuton cause will be
lost

The ZeppelinS Routed.

II has been so long since we have heard of
Zeppelin terrors that we had almost forgotten
them incident of'the war. Americans just
home from England say that while attempted
air raids on London have been numerous of late
they have been wholly unsuccessful, The Germans
made twelve bold ventures in December, but in,
each instance failed to reach the outskirts of the
capital Not since October the fourteenth last has
the city or it's suburbs been bombarded
This enectual defense is due chiefly, it seems
to large fleets of aeropanes which in constant
readiness for the enemy and which not only send
him, literally, flying home but frequently destroy
or capture his craft Paris adopted similar meas
.ures in the earlier months of the war and soon
became immune from aerial attacks. The British
were rather slow inf disposing of the Zeppelin and
the U boat but at last they seem to have downed
both these dangers to their island home
