tai suffering there would be while it
lasted, but the moment 1t was ended
the forces Of hope and reconstruction
would assert themselves, and men
would be prosperous and happy be-
cause they were productivity busy
There would be AN active demand for
everything. Overproduction would be
a long way off, and It is overproduc-
tion that oftenest leads to unemploy-
ment and depression.
The hypothesis upon which this con
elusIon is based is, of course, impossi-
bic. The war will come to an end long
before the worlds wealth is all de-
stroyed Up to date the cost is hard
ly ten per cent OF society's previous
accumulation, which has proved to be-
far greater than was generally sup
posed.
The financial experience Of the
struggle and the advance of economic
science has taught us to mobilize capi-
tai with such efficiency that we shall
hardly miss what may have disappear
ed. With economy, labor-saving ma
chinery, and universal industry we
shall quickly recover it.
Mr.. Price concurs in the view ex-
pressed by Col w G. Gorgas. the "a
nous sanitary engineer of the Pana-
ma Canal Zone, who recently said
when this war is over. there will
be many million fewer persons In Eu-
hope competing for jobs than there
We're when it commenced, and there
will be very many millions of dollars
of wealth destroyed which will have
to be replaced.
This will mean that in Europe for
several years to come the jobs viii be
seeking the men, rather than the men
the jobs.
Prosperity, dare predict, will be
very general"

FORESTRY NOTES

Weeping willows should be set out
In tiers.
Ambushes grow better when planted
In trenches.
It is considered highly appropriate
thing to plant rows Of nut trees about
insane asylums.
Family trees must be planted deep
ly, but shoe trees grow just as well IL
merely heeled in.
Family trees Of wealthy people are
usually recognizable by the looping off
of the lower branches.
"Great oaks from little acorns
grow" but they are nothing to the
great aches that grow from little toe
corns.
Hall trees bear more heavily in the
fall IL planted near the front door
where the children can get at them
readily.
The White House lawn recently re-
moved its pines and set out spruces.
In other words, pining has given way
to sprucing up.
Most OF the chestnuts are dying out

PROSPERITY TO CONTINUE AF-
TER THE WAR is OVER

Frankly ayowing that he held the
contrary view until he sat down and
calmly argued it out with himself. The
odore H. Price. one of the recognized
authorities on business and finance, in
the current number OF the outlook
predicts that prosperity will continue
after the war, The course Of reason
ing by which Mr.. Price reaches this
conclusion is as follows:
Let US assume that all the twenty
or thirty million men now fighting had
heen killed and that the expense of the
slaughter was equal to the worlds ac-
cumulated wealth. all OF which the bel
ligerents had managed in some way
to commander Manifestly the war
would end and nothing worse could
happen
What then. would be the economic
predicament Of the survivors. Of whom
there would be about 1870 million. if
the worlds population is correctly es-
timated at 1000 million.
In the first place. they would al
have to work to lire. and because they
had to work they would be happy and
cheerful
This is a deduction from human ex-
perience that is almost automatic
Probably they would be happier be-
cause the inequalities Of wealth had
temporarily disappeared.

HELP ELECT WILSON

II is the people of the United States
who are on trial, not Woodrow VII
SON.
No president in history has been
called upon to face such succession
Of tremendous problems; no president
in history has ever faced problems
with more courage, vision and states
manship
His international policies have given
us peace with honor; his domestic pol
icies have given us prosperity and JUS
tice.
Not one OF those who oppose him
has dared to file bin or particulars
against him; not one has had the man
hood to say boldly what he would not
have done that Woodrow Wilson has
done, or what he would have done
that Woodrow Wilson has not done
Only general attack, only blanket
criticism. only peeyish fault-finding.
only base alliance with every foreign
country that is in controversy with the
United States.
Never were issues so plain; on one
hand a president who puts America
first, and on the other hand, those who
put party first
Patriotism versus spoils; empty
promises versus splendid performance.
Democracy against Toryism pro-
gress against reaction, honorable
peace against financial imperialism.
eyen-handed justice against special
privilege. prosperity against panics.
TO repect Woodrow Wilson is to re-
ject the wise laws that have given
American industry and business such
amazing impetus.
TO reject Woodrow Wilson is to re-
iect the foreign policiessthat have Civ
sh us peace and honor and highest
standing.
To reject Woodrow Wilson is to turn /
the United States over to chaos be-
tween November g 1916, and March 3.
1910 for his reputation involves the
surrender Of every American conten-
tion with foreign nations.
DO you want to drop a pilot who
has steered US safely through the rocks
and storms?
You do not have to wait until elec-
tion day to make the one answer that
an American can make.
An immediate contribution to the
Woodrow Wilson campaign fund puts
you in the fight at once on the right
side.
Against the millions of the opposi
ton, Woodrow Wilson places entire de-
pendence upon the free offerings of
the people.
