many constantly talked Of China. She

M1L1r1AMEN NOT COMPLAINING

There has been much complaint, especially in
Illinois and New York, about the manner in
which the national guard regiments have been
rushed to the border in day coaches when they
might have travelled comfortably in Pullmans,
but we are glad that mighty little of the kicking
has come from the members of the regiments
themselves. Thousand mile journeys in day
coaches are not pleasant experiences, especially
in hot weather; but the men who turned out to
do their part along the Rio Grande or beyond
it if necessary, did not start out under the illu-
sion that they were going on a picnic. They
reflected that day coaches are better that box
cars and that day coach seats are infinitely SUI
perior to muddy ground as bedding. And now
that the soldiers are on the border they are
raising no rumpus because they haven't brass
bedsteads to repose in instead of tents.
But because the militiamen are the sort of
stuff that soldiers are made of is no reason why
every provision within reason should not be
made for their comfort in camp Men who are
transferred suddenly from the office to the
field cannot endure either the ''leg work. or
the exposure Of seasoned regulars. There will
be less excuse for unnecessary hardships for
them on the border than aboard troop trains.

DOMINICAN PROBLEM.

Since the middle of May, when detachment
of United States marines occupied the city of
Santo Domingo in the Dominican republic
the second show of occupation within a few
months-conditions among the Dominicans
have been reported much improved. Yet
the murder of marines by native gunner con-
tinues. and exchanges of shots are common.
From time to time ragged ''army'' of rebels
advances" on government stronghold,
and the marines rush to the defense.
The United States is, in manner of speak
ing, engaged in the pacification of the Domini-
can republic The process is a slow one. Oc-
cupation by American soldiers is only partial,
and there is broad margin for the activities
of the rebels of one brand and another Among
the Domlnicans, among the Mexicans, the
saf-restraint of the United States government

Domingo, and we are half doing It.
The Dominican republic will be a sore spot
of American politics until it has been either !
educated or eliminated. At present the half
way policy of the United States only irritates
Must we do everything by halves7
Establishing an American protectorate and
guaranteeing the little republics debts no
more changes the Dominican disposition than
it changes the Dominican color.

WHILE THE DREAM STAYS BRIGHT.
No matter what the task may be-

And our hearts beat strong.

Will strangle in the dark;
And nothing under heavens stars

The good that have failed OF

And neither human hatred

European observers are beginning to call

flict the war after the and to realize that it
will be no less eventful and intense than the
present struggle. Problems of the most far

few months and the battle Of wills and wits

While it is well to see the bright side and 70
iexpect good fortune, it will do no harm to re.
member that some Of the keenest observers OF
business conditions have warned us that we
should not look for continuance OF the pres
ent prosperity Judge q. II. Gary, head OF the
United States Steel Corporation, In an article
in current magazine, says that he does not
think the European war will be long protracted
He outlines the present prosperity of this conn-
try and sounds note of warning that this pros
perity is not so great as the volume Of business
would Indicate '3Our chief danger he says,
is in refusing to admit that danger is ahead. =
He recognizes the possibility that we are going
too rapidly and that with the present great ex-
pansion there may be some initiation. Judge
Gary is not an alar1nist, but looking ahead he
sees many changes after the war, and he knows
that not all Of them will be to our advantage.

The close OF the war will not Immediately check
our prosperity although undoubtedly large num-
berl OF the men working in munittOn factories
will be compelled within few months to seek

at such rate that its very momentum will carry
1t for time to come, but do not agree
with the statements which have been made that
at the close of the may expect In this
country a prolonged continuance of the great pros
perty now existing.
Our chief danger is in refusing to admit that
rate We may be going too rapidly. There is at
present very great expansion, and possibly some
initiation.

SOMETHING FROM NOTHING.

There met in New York City last week a
convention Of affluent and respectable bust
nessmen who belong to trade that thrlves on
this nations wastefulness. 1t is known as the
annual convention of the National Association
of Waste Material Dealers. The material out
of which they build their fortunes is presuma-
bly, thrown away by the rest of us. This is :,
trade that comes in an economic sense as near
to making something out of nothing it is
possible for mere man to arrive The efflux of
the ragbag appears in the daily paper, in the
rope on which hangs the family washing and in
the comfortable bank balance of the waste ma
terial dealers. Starting from where the rest of
us leave things, these men go far toward real
business efficiency.
A food expert says there is as much nutri-
ment in five cents worth Of bread as in fifteen

is to life. and cherries are ripe.

REPORT FROM THE JOURNAL OF
COMMERCE:

Mississippi: Owing to fine wealth
er and very short crop picking is
considerably more than half complet-
ed. Conditions have lost several
points from last month when it was
58.7. Excessive rains in July follow
ed by heavy visitation of weevils
chief cause of loss, and have made it
poorest prospects in years. Cotton
ginned is sold as fast as picked and
top crop prospects very poor.
Alabama: The wet spell in July
and August, with a large number Of
weevils, combined to make poorest
prospects for cotton in many years.
The present report shows loss of
from 10 to 20 points from last month
or below so. There will be little OF
no top crop. Weather fine for pick
ing, crop being from 25 to 90 per
cent. gathered and marketed as fast
as picked.
