II you voted for Taft in 1912, here
is question for you: Are you ready
to vote for Roosevelt now? If you

And this is for both of you; Didn't
things turn out pretty well in 1912 as

The great thing The government
has ever done for business men in
the history of the country was the
enactment Of the currency law. 1t
was something the republicans had
talked about for twenty years, but
it was not until the Democrats came
into power that 1t went on the stat
ute books Now under the leader
ship of Woodrow Wilson, Congress
is taking the final steps of establish

the currency law has done for the
business men. Republicans also
talked about rural credits. But
there was no action until the Demo

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 Redfeld, of the
Department OF Commerce. In reply
to a suggestion from Assistant Sec
retary Malburn, of the Treasury De-

are in danger of overlooking prepar-
edness for peace. Secretary Red
field points out that the country's
so-called war business probably does
not exceed five per cent of its total
industrial and commercial activ-
ity, and while readiustments after
the war will be necessary and per-
haps serious, the relative Importance

The superiority Of Democratic con-
troll in the National Government has
been demonstrated in a score of ar
firmatiye measures since Wilson was
inaugurated; but perhaps the best
proof of all is negative. The Roose-
welt panic OF 1907 was a result OF
bad Republican party government in
times of peace and plenty. The pros
perity of 1916 is due to good Dem
ocratic party government in times
Of stress and storm never before

WHY AMERICA Is GREAT

One reason why America is so
great is because she leads all the
countries of the world in the produc-
ton of coal, iron, steel, copper, sill
yer and oil, She is also the cham
pion producer of cotton, corn, wheat,
oats, hay and tobacco and is second
to South Africa in the production of
gold. Moreover our people are con-
stantly producing wealth and are not
wasting their time and substance in
shooting at each other and destroy
ing life and property. Memphis
NeWs-Scimitar
All that may be true, but that is
not the principal reason why America
is great. Take away the churches,
the schools, the Libraries, the lee
lures, the charities, and the coal, iron
and copper wouldn't amount to a hill
of beans. When this country's great
ness becomes thoroughly materialis-
tic its days are numbered. There
is the danger line which we will have
to avoid, and every organized in
fluence in community should as
sist the nation to steer clear of it.
If we do nothing but produce wealth,
some day will come when we will
engage in shooting at each other
