gently up the ladder, and said:
Nov, I've caught you; We'll have
no more of this! Here's your four

The man pocketed the money and

Poor Explanations.

It was Pennsylvania manufacturers who spoke of business as trembling in the presence of the Democratic par ty.' Now Senator PenroSe, observing the same sensitive barometer. and compelled to admit a certain general prosperity, remarks that much of the hopefulness is based upon the as- sumption that the Wilson administra- tion and it's policies will be defeated and protection will be restored to the nation" So used is Senator Penrose. like Representative Mann and others. to whistling to keep up his courage, that when he perceives business in whistling frame of mind he can think of no other explanation. The psychol- ogy of business, according to these Republican diagnosticians, is fear full and wonderful thing. In l907 be- yond any doubt, it was some previ. sion of 1912 that caused panic. The depression of the last two years arose from the consciousness that, whatever happened, business was in for Demo cratic misrule till 1917. But business can reach an almost unparalleled pitch of prosperity upon the mere hope that such msrule will not ex- tend beyond that year One puzzling aspect of these explanations" is that their authors should admit so much virtue in a mere frame of mind-vir- tue able to triumph over the hard facts presented by Democratic meas ures. Another lies in the circumstance that a multitude of manufacturers con- fess to doing well at the same time they contemplate the probable re-elec- tion of President Wilson

FEWER JOBLESS IN PARIS
Most Persons Thrown Out of Employ ment at Beginning of War Are
 Again at Work.

Paris.-No more remarkable signs of the business revival in Paris can be furnished than by the figures pub lished of the progressive decline in the numbers of unemployed. especial ly during the last year.
 Between September 23 and October 24, 1914, when statistics are first avail able the number of relief tickets is- sued shows that the total of those who were without work or means was 257,- 435. This was just after the battle of the Marne, when the crisis was at it's height. In the fortnight between Feb ruary IA and March 1, 1915, this num- Der had dwindled to 150.S64, or a dim mutton of nearly 10000.
 Since then the decrease has been regular and rapid. Between November 20 and December 4, 1915, there were but 79,791 of both sexes out of work It is in the liberal professions that this decrease is least marked; but the original numbers. both of men and women. in this category were never very great.

DOES N0T CONVINCE
Speech of Ex-Secretary Root Is
 FalIaCiouS.
His Arraignment of the Policies of the Democratic Party Adroit but Eas- fly Answered by Any
 Thoughtful Person.

It is trite to remark the distin- guished ability of Hon. Elihu Root of New York Political friend and foe alike recognize his intellectual pre- eminence and his keynote speech be- fore the New York Republican con- vention was adroit in all respects and a plausible arraignment of the Demo- cratic administration.
 To those who are constitutionally at enmity with the Democratic party his utterances will no doubt be regard ed as a masterpiece.
 But Mir. Root was quite as fallacious as ever, as may be seen by all who will analyze his speech.
 If he tells us that the Democratic party is late in realizing the necessity for greater armament why does he not tell us why it is that in the half century since the war that the Re- publican party was in control 40 years without an adequate naval program be- ing adopted until Democratic admin istration came in?
 The Wilson administration had to repair the neglect of the Republican party with respect to the army and navy, as it had to repair it in respect of the banking system and currency system and the revenue system.
 MT. Root might answer, of course, that during the Republican admins trations there was no need of great CT army and navy. Even if that be true, he must admit that the Demo cratic president was quick to recog- nize the need when it appeared, and proceeded to evolve plan to SUD- ply it.
 AS for the business mixup to which he alluded, MT. Root is almost ridicu- lous, in view of the existing business conditions. The thoughtful people of the country are not going to be caught by MT. Root fallacies.

 If bobwhite was an expensive piece of machinery farmers would mortgage their lands rather than be without him. But as friend provided by na- ture they fail to appreciate his value.
 The cure for lessening game is less gunning, and it is the only cure" said Prof. M. Llewellyn Raney of Johns Hopkins university. When a gunner can be made to stop firing long enough to realize that, it is possible that he may listen to the economic ornithologist, who is earnestly telling what the real function of the bird in the world is. The time was when the southern rice grower was justified in warning on what he called the reed bird because of his deprcdations on the crop in the spring and autumn. But this basis for his classification as a game bird in the eastern states has been swept away, because this indus try has vanished In the North it is an economic factor of great import ance, for in May, June and July S5 per cent of it's food is insects.
 Tt ought to be a pleasure for the South to treasure for the North this efficient and melodious harlequin of the meadows, just as the North should foster the swallows and orioles, the blackbirds and meadow larks, which work so bravely on the cotton boil weevil of the South.
 Another point in favor of birds is their ability to travel long distances, so that in case of local outbreak of any species of insect they are able to rally quickly to the spot and render good service in checking the further increase of the pest"

WRISLEY BROWNS PLIGHT

Among the bright young lawyers attached to the department of justice at Washington is Wrisley Brown. Not long ago he was sent to town in the middle West to investigate quietly the condition of bank there. In order not to arouse any suspicious he used an assumed name in registering at the hotel.
 All day long he busted himself about the town and went to his hotel at night tired and footsore.
 Let's see, what's your room num- ber?' asked the proprietor, when Wrisley went to the desk for his key
 "Tsforget," said Wrisley.
 Whats your name, then? I'll look 1t up"
 For the life of him, Wrisley couldn't remember what name he had used when he registered that morn ing, and the register had been put away.

WHY UNDERWOOD DECLINED

Senator Underwood, who for many years was a member and chairman of the house committee on ways and means, and who is the author of the present tariff law, declined a position on the finance committee of the sen- ate, the tariff-making body O. the up- per branch. Asked why he refused the proffered appointment, Mr. Un. derwood told this story of an old Ala. bama shoemaker:
 This old chap used to sit all day begging shoes. Once a month he bought ticket in the Louisiana state lottery. Finally his persistence was rewarded, and he was notified that he had won the $25,000 prize. He closed his shop, bought an outfit of new clothes and went up to New York, as he had always dreamed of doing.
 Two years he spent in the me- tropolis. doing all the things he had wanted to do for many years. But the pace was too fast He went back

INVENTOR OF THE FOKKER

Mijnheer Fokker, the inventor of the monoplane that bears his name and that for several months has been greatly disturbing the adversaries of Germany by it's speed and destructive powers, is a native of Holland, and is said to be not more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He has spent the greater part of his life in Germany, but would appear to be thoroughly familiar with the French flying machines. A number of the de- vices cn the Fokker are claimed by the French to be outright copies of their own
 About five years ago Fokker made his appearance in the German flying corps, and his first monoplane was re- ceived with such small enthusiasm there that the invention was offered to the British government. Some Eng fish experts examined it, recommend ed it as being uncapsizable, but so bad ly constructed that it made the flyers

"COUSIN BOB" BROUSSARD'S HOLD

Down in his state of Louisiana Robert F. Broussard, United States senator, is generally addressed as Cousin Bob,' and, indeed he seems to be related to most of the people in his district, if not most of those in the state. He speaks Louisiana French, which is language entirely distinct from young ladies finishing school French, or learn-to-speak- or-eighteen-dollars French. Speaking their language as he does, Cousin Bob" has a strong hold on the people of his section of the state, and their main religion is to vote for Bob Broussard without question and without stint whenever he runs for anything
 When Broussard was running for the United States senate, Representa- tive James B. Aswell was seeking election to the lower house of con- gress. Aswell was talking to a man in the section where Broussard Is best known and asked him for his yote

SWEDISH TRADE
John Lakrantz Tells Board of
Commerce Members How 1t
Can BE Done

More than a score OF Detroit's big
gest exporters were told how they
might further increase the output OF
Detroit factories in Sweden and
abroad, Monday noon In the grill
room OF the Detroit Board Of Com
merce by John Lokrantx. general
manager Of the Swedish Chamber Of
Commerce, and we'll known as an ex-
pert on international trade.
Nr. Lokrantz was the star OF a
long list OF speakers who will adj
dress the members OF the foreign
trade bureau OF the Detroit Board OF
Commerce. He pointed out the gain
in nine years OF from 100000 TO
$50 100000 in the trade between
Sweden and the United States. He
has been travelling in the largest
cities in an effort TO enlist manufac-
turers az members OF the organic
ton which now has 800 members.
THE purpose OF the Swedish
Chamber Of Commerce." he said" Is
TO develop, support and protect the
trade between the United States and
Sweden. Thru our organization we
are able 10 put the American manu-
facturer in touch with responsible
merchants OF Sweden. We are ex-
porting TO America but $4,000, 900

4.YEAR Term
IS DEFEATED
Recount Also Shows Public
Utilities Amendment Carried;
Court Fight Probable

The common council now has
power to regulate public utilities
and possesses a valuable weapon in
the telephone fight. as the result OF
the recount OF two charter amend
ments.
Recounting was completed, Mon
day afternoon, and showed that the
public utility amendment, which
was shown TO he lost on original
returns, carried by a wide margin.
and that the four-year term amend
ment was defeated. The utilities
measure carried by 3O,sss to 1861
on the recount. The four-year plan
lost. 1854 to 1851.
The reverse OF this result was
shown on original returns because
figures were transported on tally
sheets The vote for the utilities
amendment was enormously credit
ed to the four-year term plan. and
that for the latter credited to the
utilities amendment.
Armed with the utilities amend
ment, Corporation Counsel Dinge-
man can oppose the efforts OF the
Michigan Telephone Co. to install
phone meters and raise rates in De
troit
There is only one cloud resting
on the city's victory in its tight to
control public service corporations
The companies may seek TO invali-
date the amendment on the ground
that the recount was illegal. There
was no legal basis for opening the
ballot boxes and recounting the
amendment vote. In consequence,
II is feared the telephone company
will fight to have the original re-
turns stand, and long litigation may
follow.
