MOST WONDERFUL YEAR
IN ECONOMIC HISTORY
Last Year Might Serve as Guide tn FL
nance and Business, but For
Problems of Future.
Sun REVIEWS THE sITuATIoN
Fresh Confidence Has Been Acquired
in the skill OF Nayigators or Ship
of American Finance Through His
tory's Most Tcmpestuous.

New York. Jan. 1.-The suns week
iy review OF the financial situation
tomorrow will say:
At the outset OF 1916 finance and
business. looking back through 1918,
can only regard it's events as CONSTITUTE
ing the most wonderful year in our
economic history. and the contem-
porary reviews of these events have
value in helping us 10 determine the
prospect for the twelfth month on
which We have entered Nevertheless
the year 1916 contains on It's own ar
count so many unknown and unknow-
able elements of tremendous import
ance that the solution of the problems
which will offer. depends only In part
on the problems solved in the recent
past. The greatest assistance we ~iil
haye in this respect IL derived from
The confidence gained in the success
of the American people in oVercom-
in. tremendous obstacles of unpre-
cedented difficulty. which lay in the
path 10 the present state OF pros
porous and profitable activity, aud in
The still more reassuring success
achieved in keeping steady mind
under temptations to disastrott's- loss
OF se1f-control politically and other
wise.
New Confidence Acquired.
The shin OF American finance mas
proved It's seaworthlness in the most
tampestuons weather of all history
We have acquired fresh confidence
in th. skill and intelligence or IT'S
aayizators, who have gained renewed
confidence In themselves from their
experience in storm and stress But
there is nothing like clear skies and
clear sailing ahead. which for that
very reason would warrant apprehen-
sion. There is in all business and
banking arters apprehension
enough. because Of the war. TO re-
strain reckless expressions OF over
confidence.
Nom roe emphatic proof of this could
be desired than the way in which the
frenzy of public gambling In war
naunition shares was curbed last au-
tumu by efforts in which banking
interests enlisted, extensive co-opefa-
ton and support, 1t has been Illus
trated also in the frequent lulIs OF
financial and business activity, which
have denoted sensible process
of taking bearings anew before con-
tinuing the enlargement of construc-
tive commitmets We can safely con-
clude therefore. that as long as the
war lasts its uncertainties, which are
very great, will, as they must, tenn
per business resolution and moderate
enterprise within the bounds of pru-
dence Indeed. there is far more
danger of reckless excuses of bust
ness activity when peace has been re-
stored and the worlds skies are clear

Chicago, Jan a.-Senator William
f. Borah. of Idaho, has been picked
by the progressive element of the Re-
publican party as it's candidate for
temporary chairman of the Republic
can national convention, and the cam
paign is now under way to secure his
selection for this post at the hands
of the arrangements committee OF the
national committee.
This has been ascertained from an
unimpeachabie source, and was cou-
pied with the assertion that the con-
servatives OF the East are as bitterly
opposed to Senator Borah's selection
to sound the 1915 Keynote" as the
Western element. including practi-
cally all party leaders west of the
Mississippi, are strongly for him.
Two other United States Senators
are under consideration for this
honor. one Of whom L. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge. Of Massachusetts,.
Prompt objection has been raised to
Senator Lot6e because he has
espoused openly the presidential aspi-
rations of his colleague. Senator John

Senator is not made public at this
time.

have a big union label over it's door.
Merchants would themselves advertise
the union label, and the manufac-
turer would produce union products
and hire union labor or go bankrupt
If union men bought right, they would
rot have to strike so much. .sE.
That, brothers, is the power Of unity
in the small matter Of spending q
weeks wage. The buying power Of
labor, If exercised in unity, would
solve many Of the problems Of labor.
Back Of every union fighter, back
Of every strike, back OF every indus
trial battle would be, the power OF
three million men and the power OF .
billion and o half dollars spent each
