PROSPERITY ON SOLID BASIS

There is no reason to fear indus
trial depression in the United States
after the war in Europe ends, in the
opinion of Secretary Redfield, OF the
department of commerce. In reply
to a suggestion from Assistant Sec
retarv halburn, of the treasury de-
partment. that the American people
are in danger of overlooking prepar-
edness for peace, Secretary Redhelu
points out that the country's so-called
war business probably does not eX'
ceed five per cent of its total indus
trial and commercial activity, and
while readjustments after the war
will be necessary and perhaps SER
lous. the relative importance of the
war business is generally overesti-
mated.
It does not exceed a quarter Of our
exports, says the secretary, and pos
sibly is not quite that much. Our
shipments to South America, for ex-
ample, have at least doubled. New
Industrial organization for making
war material is relatively small, and
moreover much of it will be available
for use when peace comes. This will
be especially true, says the secretary,
If our own preparedness takes more
substantial form. Industrial prepar-
edness is going on all the time, the
secretary concludes, and will be aid
ed by legislation recommended by
governmental agencies.

Cards Of Thanks, five cents per llne
Resolutions of Respect, Obituaries and
Senator Pomerene to the City Club


Senator Pomerene's address to the
Cleveland City club recently was the
well-timed utterance of thorough
American. His exposition of neutral
ity as practiced by the United States
government toward the European bel
hgerents could not have been clearer,
more forceful or more indicative of
the patriotism of the senior senator
from Ohio.
To Mr.. Pomerene's credit, it may
be said that no member of congress,
senator or representative, has pru-
sued more courageous, just and
patriotic course under the trying con-
ditions of the past few months than
he. He has conceived it the duty of
every American to stand by American
rights, to defend American honor, in
the face Of the world and to keep his
allegiance to the flag Of the republic
undivided.
ut seems to me-" declared the sen.
ator, I'VE ought to be American
enough to stand by our American in
stitutions or European enough to go
to the trenches"
Here is. challenge to every un-
American who at a crisis like this,
while continuing to enjoy the protec-
tion Of the American government, de-
nounces the government, casts mean
aspersions on those who conduct the
government and yet lack the honesty
openly to transfer their allegiance
and "go to the trenches" For un-
Americans of whatever kind Senator
Pomerene has nothing but contempt.
He neither fears nor respects them.
He refuses to be stampeded by their
dishonest propagand2ing. lie will
not surrender his honor as an Ameri.
can to their un-Americanism.
And Mr.. Pomerene stands precisely
where every loyal son and daughter
OF America stands and has stood
since the beginning of the European
wal. l1tl JllclS Dt no Iulbluht On lHlS
point The United States Is not made
up of citizens of divided allegiance,
The noise of the disloyalsts is Who'll
ly out of proportion to their numbers.
: Ohio, without regard to politics, has
8very reason to be proud of the part
thai her senior senator has played in
the months Of this acute war stua-
fion. Mr. Pomerene has not been "a
party man, but an American. He has
weighed every question in the scale
Of his own loyal devotion to the gov
ornment and people of the United
States. He has been one of the de-
Tenders of our national honor,
Against sense of NATIONAL duty
auch as Senator Pomerene possesses
the petty storms of un-Americanism
will beat In vain. He calls Americans
To their duty-to the duty of standing
IVY their institutions. by their ideals
and by the government that voices
them. And those who permit them
selves to be blinded by whatever In
fiuence to this prime obligation, be
long. not in the United States at {
time like this, but in the trenches
or Europe.

For an indication of the way lead
ers and connections of the present
state administration look on things
political, one may read what sup
porter of Governor Willis, the editor
of the East Liverpool Review. has to
say. lie writes in reply to an edi.
torial in the Ohio Republican, pub
llshed by the so-called Ohio Republi-
can Land League, of which Mary Il.
Lee is the moving spirit, and which
Is said to be part OF the support of
Harry A. Daugherty's candidacy for
Republican nomination for u. S. SEN
ator. In an editorial under head of
Mixing Wrong Things" here is what
appeared this week in the Review:
in recent issue of The Ohio Re,
publican, magazine published by
the Ohio Republican Land League,
seeks to instill this doctrine into its
readers: Patronize Republican bust
ness houses, banks and papers. The
inference, of course, is that u system
of boycott should be adopted against
those who are not OF the Republican
faith. That Is silly doctrine and it
is surely amazing that such a thought
be publicly expressed in this age and
land of education and liberality."
This is proper criticism, but while
! on the subject the editor might wall
have gone farther. It is just as rep
rehensible to oppose man politically
because of his religion or his race,
and yet this was done recently In
Ohio when a Jew was opposed for
election as national delgate to Chi
cago because of his faith, and when a
colored Republican was ignominious-
ly defeated because of his race.

BY an advertisement for bids for the
supply of automobile tags for 1917,
Secretary of State Hildebrant has pub
licly acknowledged his shortcoming in
the private letting of this years con-
tract to a state senator, who expected
to make a profit of $4,000. This sena-
tor, who was the governors floor lead
er, did not even have plant for the
manufacture of tags, but sublet the
contract to New York firm, which in
turn was to make a neat profit, by the
friendly arrangement which permitted
them to make tag of small size and
of considerably less weight than had
been formerly called for in state speci-
fications. The secretary of state has
had a forced conversion, for had it not
been for the watchfulness of State Au-
ditor A. V. Donahey, he and Senator
Wickline would have gotten away with
their little arrangement for profit. Just
how far this Willis administration
would go with such deals, were not
Donahey on the job, would be hard to
state
