The South Will Boom.

To sum UP the Impressions received

Rockies are that this section was late
in starting. but Is coming with rush
that will make up for lost time. The

while ago from the south are being
falsified That section is not behind
any other Considering all things. its
progress may be more rapid even than
the northwest.

Trade Follows the Bookkeeper.

Our bankers have risen to the oppor-
tunity in big way. They have known
every one has known-that unless
credits could be arranged here for the
merchant in South America he would
not be apt to buy here. Trade doesn't
always follow the flag. II is more apt
to follow the bookkeeper. England and
Germany and France bought of South
America and consequently South Ameri-
ca bought of France and Germany and
England. The war has given. us the
chance to compete.
The great international banks and
trading companies have already been
organized for the purpose of buying
what the other countries have to offer
us. in order that in turn we may sell
to them. The merchants of the Missis-
sippi valley are planning a third com
pany of the sort. An allied activity is
that of the foreign trade commissions

My trouble started with little red PIN
pies breaking out all over my fingers which
cracked open and bled. In short while
IEey spread all over both hands. Ny hands

hands became such sights that ! was
ashamed to let any one see them. and they
tched and burned so that could not sleep
but scratched all the time.
Il suffered this way at least four years.

Ointment were good for letter and wrote

burning was less. so I got a large box Of

Buyers From the Orient.

Buyers from Australia and New Zea-
land and India and China and Japan
and wherenot are opening Offices in
New York and Chicago and other job
bling centers in order to buy our goods.
They have maintained such Offices in
London for years. 1t will be our fault
if these offices do not become perma-
nency hSre. Bankers say the disloca-
tion caused by the war must last to our
profit for at least a year If the war
were to stop tomorrow. There was a
time when the American manufacturer
scoffed at our export trade. Its total
was beggarly alongside of the $780,

eight times as great as the war stuff
exported. and a good part of it may be

incidental advantages that war on the
other side of the world has given to us.

may become ours. This isn't proph-

happen as result of the smashing of

Workmen's Compensation
Department Years Report
Given by August Belmont

August Belmont presented his report
on the years activities of the work.
mems compensation department Of the
National Civic Federation this morning.
at the meeting of the federation held
at the New Willard Hotel
Beginning with the year 1905 he
said, I'VE have been continuously an
active educational agency. developing
new drafts of model state laws in the
interest OF uniformity as changing
events warranted such action.
AT present We are circulating two
documents, one an elective workmen'
compensation act. recommended as
useful guide. which may readily have
substituted sections making 1t compul-
sorry when state constitutions Will per-
nit, another being a later memorandum
upon main provisions to an adequate
compulsory workmen's compensation
law.
In an Experimental Stage.
Just now. the laws are in an ex-
perimental stage and are being submit
ted to the test of experience. The gen.
eral disposition is to wait and see how
the different forms and different features
work out
The majority of them are still cleo
tive, but they will probably be made
compulsory when the question of con-
stitutionality is decided by the United
States Supreme Court, if it be decided
favorably.
"A notable achievement of this de-
partment since the last annual meeting
was the enactment. through our efforts,
of the Colorado state workmen's com
pensation law. We sent, at the request
of
house, two experts, namely, Cyrus w.
Phillips of the workmen's compensation
commission of New York state and E: II.
Downey. chief statistician of the indus
trial commission of Wisconsin. who as
sisted not only in drafting the legisla-
ton. but in the conferences preceding
it's enactment.
Some Laws Very Narrow.
Mr.. Belmont called attention to the
fact that some of the laws are very
narrow and of doubtful application, as
in New York, while others, as in New
lions, including agriculture and do
nestle service.
THE problem for consideration" he
said, sis whether it would not be bet
ter and more satisfactory to everybody
to extend the compensation laws to
have such full coverage just as soon as
people have become accustomed to this
comparatively new principle"
A bitter subject of dispute, he said,
is whether private insurance or state
managed insurance is the better. The
federation, he added, has investigated
the subject impartially, but has taken
the position that lit is rather improper
for such an association to take any de-
cided stand one way or the other until
experience has been longer developed
and more decisive, in which event, of
course, it may become proper to take a
stand on the merits"

what may go in the kettle. the house,
wife does not spend money on new
pains. Steelmakers are refusing struc-
tural steel orders eight months ahead.
The steel is needed for tall new build
ings.
Prosperity is like a flood in creek
bottom said a banker in Cincinnati,
where they know what floods are.
Every inch of rise means that water
pours over acres Of dry land"
More Money on Deposit.
The bank clearings are the gauge
which measures the inches Of rise.
City after city reported more money on
deposit than ever before. That meant
their customers were making money.
Most banks are beginning to loan down
toward the reserve line. That means
the customers are extending their bust
nesses. Every period of great prosper
ity, according to the bankers, is pre-
ceded by a period of great accumula-
tion of money. That latter period came
to an end six months ago. Capital no
longer lies idle. The accumulations are
being tapped by workers.
Broadly speaking, the only bar to
continuance of the present prosperity
appears to be in the shortage of ships
and freight cars and the lack of docks
and the puny acreage of railroad yards
While the war lasts we can sell abroad
every dollars worth of material we
can produce. Perhaps $2.00O,000 a day
is being spent here by the people of
Europe for material with which to kill
one another. While they are thus en-
gagged they are unable to serve their
old customers in the far corners of the
earth. We have stepped into that
breach. 1t will go hard If we do not
hold after the war some part of the
trade that has literally been thrust into
our pockets in this way.

It will, however, give him time to de-

He has made fine record in the at
torney generals office and all the State
officials expressed regret that he
should leave. The chief justice in the
official records of the supreme court
paid a high tribute to his conduct of
the cases that he has handled before
that court and to the high character
of Mr.. Dominick himself. No partisan
bias has been found in any OF the
opinions that he has rendered or in
the conduct of any Of the cases that
he has been called upon to handle.
