BUSINESS on THE BOOM.

Home affairs are eminently sat
isfactory: politics and international
relations" writes Henry Clews, the
New York banker, in his weekly fin
ancial review under date of February
3. Were there no restraints, this
country would probably be in the
midst of boom never equaled in ex-
tent or intensity. Undoubtedly it is
good for us that some restraints do
exist, because they will save us from
the reaction that otherwise would be
inevitable. We may therefore view the
future with relative confidence, as
sured of business activity and prosper
ity, until the somewhat distant period
of readjustment arrives which must
come after the war. Since peace, and
the momentous changes which will
follow. are not vet in sight, we must
still be largely affected by conditions
at home, which as just said are highly
favorable in contrast with those
abroad. The big harvest and high
prices for all our agricultural products
are making farmers of the west and
south wonderfully prosperous. Our
mines are busy and obtaining high
prices for their products, coal per-
ton. Our steel plants as every one
knows are turning out the largest
product on record at abnormally high
prices, being often sold more than six
months ahead. Our cotton and wool
en- mills are likewise enjoying greater
activity and good prices; so too are
our boot and shoe factories, auto
mobile plants, chemical industries,
etc. The building trades are exper-
fencing a most pronounced recovery.
and the revival of enterprise in gem
| eral is emphasized by the record of
! new interpretations in the eastern
states which amounted to over $780,
| 100000 in January. This was the
| largest total for a single month in
many years, and 800 per cent greater
than in January a year ago. Accom-
panying these movements there has
been a general increase of wages in
the basic industries; advances of 10
per cent having been often volun-
tarily granted. This means a large
increase of purchasing power among
the masses, plenty of employment for
labor and relative avoidance of serious
labor troubles. The only threats in
this direction are the demands of min
ers in the coal regions Which will
have to be faced next spring, and
those of the railroad men which have
already been preached. As for the
railroads, their position has beer
much improved by the revival in traf-
fic and the better rates which many
lines are now receiving. Traffic is
heavy. gross earnings correspondence!

trade and export freely to the United
States has been practically unimpaired
by the war. The falling off in imports
to the United States in 1915, as COM
pared with 1914. amounts to only s10,-
67O,146 in a total of Sits. 665,ss5, or
less than six-tenths of y per cent.
Compared even with 1913, which
marked the high tide in imports, the
falling off is only eight-tenths of 1
per cent. These figures serve to en-
phasize the fact that the machinery
of international trade has not been
nearly as badly damaged by the war
as many sensational writer's would
have US believe, and that in spite of the
tremendous conflict raging abroad,
the general affairs of mankind are
moving largely along their accustomed
channels.

THOSE BOOZE RECORDS.

Although the supreme court of
Kansas has decreed that the records
of the booze shipments into Kansas
are public property and therefore
open to public inspection. Mr.. Oscar
Swayze. the Shawnee county clerk,
has taken unto himself the authority
of deciding under what conditions
these public records can be presented
to the public. In other words, regard
less of Mr.. Swayze's assertions that
these records in his office are open to
inspection, they are, in fact. a sealed
book for newspaper purposes. A
newspaper reporter is merely permit
ted to see them if he will agree to
print only what Mr.. Swayze thinks
should be published about them. And
on divers occasions, in interviews and
in letters concerning these liquor rec
ords, Mr.. Swayze has defended his ar
bitrary position on the plea that pos
session of the details of these records
might be used for the purposes of
blackmail. He has also declared that
the apparent purpose of publishing
the details of these records. is only to
give a black eye to prohibition in
Kansas. and that such facts about
them as have been gathered have been
distorted and exaggerated for this
purpose. The Topeka State Journal
has been interested in inspecting these
records from timesto time, but without
much success because of the stand
that Mr.. Swayze has assumed. in it's
quest for what it considers legitimate
news, and news that the supreme
clared to be legitimate. 1t is needless,
almost, for the State Journal to refute
any suggestion or intimation that it
desires access to these records for the
purposes of blackmail. This newspa-
per has been doing business with
many Topekans for many years and It
is pretty well satisfied that its repu-
tation with them is not that of pub
LEGATION given to the pursuits of black
mail. Nor is it scarcely necessary,
either, for the State Journal to deny
that it wishes to publish such mater
ial as it might gather from the booze
records for the purpose of giving Kan
sas prohibition a black eye. Unlike
Mr.. Swayze, the Topeka State Journal
is a prohibitionist and believes in the
righteousness of the principle of the
prohibition propaganda. And its po-
sition on this score, both in Kansas
and throughout the rest of the coun-
try, is so well known and secure that
there is really no necessity of reaf-
firming it. So the imputations of Mr.
Swayze that access to the booze rec
ords in his keeping is denied only to
possible blackmailers and those who
are interested in hurting the cause of
prohibition are as utterly groundless
as far as the State Journal is con-
cerned as theyspossibly could be.

the present time to be encouraged by
more liberal government policy. There
is one other business stimulant that
should not be overlooked, and that is
the plethora of loanable funds. Our
banks are overburdened with funds
which they cannot profitably employ.
Herein lies one of the greatest advan-
tages; also one of the greatest dangers
in the present situation. The greatest
menace to our future is initiation that
may leave US upon a dangerously high
level unable to compete with Europe
after the war. Fortunately the dan
ger is appreciated by our bankers and
capitalists who can prevent such a ca
tastrophe by refusing aid to enter
prises of a doubtful nature.
The chief uncertainty at home, outside
of our foreign relations. is the con-
tinued agitation for preparedness, the
pospects of new taxation, the revival
of tariff agitation and the launching
of the presidential campaign which
was vigorously opened this week by
Mr.. Wilson. Our relations with Ger
many though strained are improving,
but as long as the war continues there
is danger of surprises, and as Presi-
dent Wilson pointed out no one can
tell what a day may bring forth.
Hence justification for a reasonable if
not a liberal degree of preparedness;
not forgetting that when this war is
over none of the belligerents will be
willing or able to attack the United
States"
