Silly Fakes " of
Calamity HoOlers
Devoid of Truth

The silly fakes" Of republican
calamity howlers are contrasted with
the non-partisan federal reserve
boards reports Of solid prosperity
in the following editorial from the
Philadelphia Record:
on the same page of yesterday
Ledger appear two articles which
furnish an interesting contrast one.
headed "Assails Democratic Prosper
ity Claims" comes from Jonathan
Bourne's ridiculous and lying repub-
lican publicity association. while the
other is from the conservative and
non-partisan federal reserve board.

conditions throughout the country.
Because the democrats are in power.
Jonathan Will not admit for a second
that there is such a thing as endur-
ing prosperity in the United States.
Listen to his raving:
Prosperity? 1t ist soaked in the
blood of millions Of Europe's slain,
and Mexico. upon whom now we war.

lion dollars worth of exports have
been sent TO Europe during the TWEEN

classes of those exports, indispensi-
bic In modern warfare, made up
more than 80 per cent of the total.
That is democratic prosperity"

Well, well-awful, is it not? If
Mr.. Hughes shall be elected president
he will without doubt at once order
the European nations 10 stop fight
ing. so that we may have no prosper
ity soaked in the blood" etc. Turn
ing now 10 the statement OF the fed
eral reserve board. We find no men
ton of war as the sole basis of the
present great activity in business.
Philadelphia, New York. Boston and
Chicago all report general business
as ve;y good, with especial emphasis
on construction work. IL will hard
ly be claimed. we suppose. that the
erection of new stores, mills, office
buildings, apartment houses. banks,
and dwellings hinges upon the situa-
ton in Europe.
Jonathan'S silly Fakes"
Regarding business in New York,
which may be taken as typical of
the whole country. the report says:
There are reassuring signs of a
noted change 10 a more conservative
outlook on commerce. industry and
banking. The unrestrained activity
that was so conspicuous for time
seems to be steadying down to a safer
pace. Factory orders are
booked so far ahead and are still be-
ing received in such volume that
manufacturing is expected to con-
tinue for many months without
slackening. Industries are hamper
ed by a scarcity of skilled and un-
skilled workers, but the labor situa-
ton, except on the railroads, is more
settled than il was a month ago.
Failures fewer than last year"
You can take your choice, Jona-
than's silly fakes or the sober state
ments of the federal reserve board.
Both agree that prosperity is here.

Company X Is In Fine Health.
Eagle Pass, Texas, July IS, 1915

EdSic EdSS, LEXIS, July 10, 1910.
Mr.. Editor Il am sure you are inter-
ested in Montgomery County's Company
X, First Maryland Infantry. and would like
to know about the trip to the border and
the conditions that exist in camp.
We had splendid trip, every conven-
fence possible was given us. Each mans
individual comfort was looked after by our
officers. The people on the route surely
demonstrated their approval of Prepared
ness" Patriotism was in the lead at every
stop Many waited hours for our arrival
The leading citizens of many cities treated
to refreshments and looked after our con-
venience and comfort. The receptions at
Cumberland. Md, Chillicothe, Ohio, and
Waco, Texas, were far above the expecta-
tons of any man who wears Uncle Sans
uniform-they were great and make the SOL
dier know that his services are appreci-
ated
On our arrival here we marched about
one mile from town, and in about five
hours we were in city of canvas. When
we pitch camp the most important thing
that is looked forward to is the health of
the men. That is cared for by army ex-
perts. Personally. | would call this
training camp. There is absolutely no
danger here. The Mexicans could not
make raid if they wanted to, every en-
trance is well guarded and every man is
on the alert. That is the way we are being
trained Should trouble start we would
have to 60 many miles into Mexico before
we would meet the enemy.
The days are hot and the nights are
cool. We spend the day in drill. that is.
four hours each day. At night we sleep
like logs and in the morning. instead of
feeling drowsy. we are fresh and it, ready |
for the daily routine. The food is sub
stantial wholesome and plentiful The
water is pure and the works well
guarded. so there is absolutely no danger
OF being poisoned. With the exception of
a few sore arms from vaccination. we have
not had man on the sick list All are
well. My best regards to all my friends.
AS ever,
