WHAT Mr.. TAFT THINKS
OF PRESIDENT WILSON

This is no time to point out
INTAKES of the past. This is
no time, by attacks upon the
General In command, to give the
idea that our commander has

We are fortunate in having
kept out of the present Euro

port the Administration In keep

In the White House this country

crat President. He is our
President. He is first an Ar1eri-
can, the same as we are. We
must all be Americans first,

How Business Has Gained.

Here is just a glimpse at percen-
tages, prepared By expert statisticians,
that prove what the Wilson Admins
tration has done for the people:
Increase I'm bank deposits, 6S per
cent; money in circulation, % per
cent: stock of gold In United States.
34.1 per cent; foreign commerce, ST.
per cent; balance OF trade In favor
of United States, 2S7.6 per cent.
agricultural exports, AL per cent.
manufactured exports, 100 per cent.
railway revenues, 37.6 per cent; value
OF general crops and live stock, 12.4
per cent; value OF wheat crop. 67.5
per cent; output OF pig iron. 30 per
cent; production OF steel, $50 per
cent; farm lands. 1877 per cent: men
employed in manufacturing, 23.2 per
cent. wages paid I'm manufacturing.
40 per cent; capital employed In
manufacturing. 800 per cent: value
of manufactured products. 41.2 per
cent.
So IL may be seen that all lines OF
industry have profited under the great
~ave OF prosperity that the Demo-
cratic administration has wrought.

Department Of Commerce Shows Vast
Gain in Wealth Under Wilson
Munitions Business is but One
Per Cent. of Total.

In answer to the cry OF Republican
politicians, that the unprecedented
prosperity that has come 10 America
under the administration of President
Wilson is due TO the European war
orders, comes statement from
Charles NJ. Schwab. head Of the
bethlehem Steel Company, himself a
Republican, that refutes the charge.
at Is a mistake to imagine that the
major portion Of our business 10 war
order business" says MIR. Schwab, in
a signed article In the October number
of System. "Even a casual inspection
of the great volume of exports will
demonstrate that the bulk Is drawn
from the ordinary course Of business.
IL is also found that, at present
prices, domestic business is as profit
able as foreign munition business"
No one can doubt the capability OF
Mr.. Schwab TO judge the business stu
alton, nor can one gainsay the recent
figures issued by the Department OF
Commerce. In this report, IL is stated
that. during the first eight months
of the present fiscal year, the exports
of the United States showed a trade
balance i'm favor OF this country OF
81. 100000.

All Classes Prosperous.

And so, from all sections OF the
country, from all kinds and classes
Of business, from the merchant, the
manufacturer. the farmer, the work
ingman, come reports Of unparalleled
prosperity. The Chamber OF Com
merce OF the United States, I'm an
official report, declares that basic
stocks are rising, that railroad earn
ings are abnormally high Indicating
the great movement OF commodities),
and that the national prosperity will
continue.
Not temporary prosperity. due to
the war, is this that is filling the
Golfers OF the nation. 1t has a sound
basis for permanency, made certain
by the laws enacted under the Wilson
Administration. The President him
self, in his recent speech at Balti-
more, emphasized the value 10 the
country of the Tariff Commission, the
Trade Commission, the federal Re
serve Board and the shipping bill.
These enactments not only will stim-
ulate the productiveness OF the coun-
try, but will safeguard its output and
provide means OF conveying II TO all
the ports Of the world.

has spoken-Charles Hayden. OF Bos-
ton. He estimates that American
securities held abroad have been re-
duced from $4,000 100000, before the
war, to S1,000,000.000 at the present
time. Coincidentally. the United States
has become a creditor OF foreign ma
lions, for the first time I'm history, 10
the extent of 81 5000 100000. Under Will
son, therefore. we have wiped out
$4,000 100000 OF foreign Indebtedness.
and are a creditor to the amount OF
$5O0,0O0OO0.

fact that this always was debtor

President Wilson has made a per-
sonal appeal for the aid of business
men in taking an Industrial inventory
to be used in the organization of the
industrial resources for the public
service in national defense. This re-
calls his address at the Jefferson Day
banquet in 1912, in which he said !:
Now, suppose we put the shoe on
the other foot and invite the gen
tlemen who want business let alone
to let politics alone. for my part
agree to withdraw from troubling
business If business will Withdraw
from troubling politics."
AS election day approaches 1t is
wonderful to behold the enlighten-
ment which pours into the WiIsonian
mind. 1t will be interesting to note
how the steel plants win respond TO
this request. in view of the presi-
cents approval Of the plan of gov

Villa VS., Wilson.

Colonel George Harvey, who IS
more responsible than any other one
man for the presence OF Woodrow
Wilson in the White House, says that
the Issue OF the coming campaign will
be preparedness. An equally good
prediction. says Golfers, is that an
other issue. even more capable of
stirring up the indigestion OF the
American people, will be tho record
OF the administrations dealings with
villa. Villa Is going TO be u pretty
unpopular person before next cleo
ton day arrives, and the best thing
any Republican campaign orator can
do will DO to dig up the story OF the
encouragement given TO Villa by the
administration, and the nice things
raid about him by Democratic leaders
and organs. At one time, when Pres
ident Wilson was most eager to de-
stroy HuGrta and alarmingly unsuc-
cessful In his efforts, he turned to
Villa as his hope. He permitted villa
to receive American arms and nmmu-
milton to use against Huerta, and II Is
these same rifles which are now be-
ing turned against American soldiers.
Wilson spoke Of Villa as genius
who was going to supply Mexico with
the long-needed leader, and save the
administration from its very difficult
predicament. Villa was duly CRATE
full, and when our soldiers landed at
Vera Cruz It was villa who approved,
while Carrenza, tho present fayorite
OF the administration, threatened

The Health Exhibit.

Health Safety" ia the keynote OF
the exhibit Of the United States Pub
lis Health Service. Persons dead of
typhoid foyer, malaria, or other pre-
ventable diseases are In the same
class as those killed through the use
of faulty bumpers, inadequate cross
ing signals, or the careless handling
OF explosives. Cause and effect arc
acting in either instance and the rlas-
ard to live Is similar. But where one
person dies from accidental causes
ten perish from preventable disease.
All of which goes to prove that safe
ty for health is even more essential
than any other variety. Particularly
is this true in rural communities
where proper health protection Is sell
dor afforded.
The major portion Of the exhibit OF
the health service relates to typhoid
fever, n disease which annually kills
over $4,000 persons in the United
States. For over ten years the SER
vice has conducted u vigorous cam
paign against this disease of filth, the
chief cause of which Is the improper
disposal of human excrement. Var
ious types of sanitary toilets and Sow
age disposal tanks are displayed. The
role Of the house fly In the spread of
this Infection is important, hence the
models of this disease bearing insect
in different stages of development. or
interest TO farmers and dairymen are
the large models of an insanItary and
sanitary dairy. The lesson these
models teach is an important one. Of
tentimes contaminated water Is re-
sponsiblo for the spread of typhoid.
Just how this contaminated water is
brought about is illustrated in a strik-
Ing model of interest to every resi-
dent of rural community. The i'm
proper and proper methods of we'll
construction are also demonstrated.
Malaria, another preyentable disease
is transmitted b the mosquito, En-
larged models Of the eggs, larvae and
adult forms of this insect are cXhib-
tied. The various methods of mos
quito destruction are also depicted
most graphically.
Probably the most convincing ex-
htbtt Is that relating to SMALLPOX,
Two children, one in the eruptiye
stage OF smallpox, the other present
ing every appearance OF health, are
sitting side by side. The secret of
the second child's immunity rests in
the vaccination mark. The models
were made from photographs of actu-
al cases in the wards of smallpox
hospital. A second model of this
character depicts the dangers arising
from the use Of the common roller
towel.
Those whp are careless in the dis
posal of garbage will profit from
seeing cross section of house and
nearby garbage barrel. The actual
condition within the walls of the
house are brought to light and one
realizes what rodent infestation
means, As an accompaniment of this
model others are shown depicting
the methods Of construction Of rat
proof houses and stables.
A feature of the health exhibit of
far reaching value is the distribution
OF pamphlets on health topics. "The
Care of the Baby" THE Transmits
sion Of Disease by Flies" What the
Farmer Can Do to Prevent Malaria"
are some of the titles of the litera-
ture distributed.
