BUSINESS SITUATION REVIEWED

Since the war began there hes been
remarkable increase in the worlds
supply of money. How much farther
this initiation will go depends almost
altogether on the duration of the war.
The condition is having a marked eff
feet upon the economic status of ev-
cry country, and, even should hostil-
tiles end soon, it is likely to be some
time before things will again be in
normal state. This monetary expan-
sion has very largely to do with the
high prices of commodities. The
buying power of money has declined,
and to far greater extent in Europe
than anywhere else. 1t is estimated
that the paper currency of the four
teen more important European coun-
tries has expanded from $6,750,O0O,-
900 to $4,000, 1000, 900, to say nothing
of the coming of silver and other met
al. During the war period the none
| tary supply of the United States has
increased from S3,419,000, 900 to $4,-
! 500, 100000 or about 80 per cent.
The war has had the effect of en-
couraging the invention and manufac-
ture of labor-saving machinery, to a
very great extent, in the United
! States. European nations, however,
by force of circumstances, have been
compelled to set the pace in methods
of efficiency, and it is safe to assume
that, when peace is restored, the in
dustriCl world will, II some respects,
be generations ahead of where it was
when the war began. All neutral peo-
| pies will be obliged to measure their
abilities with those now at war, and
the result will evidently be a wonder
full economic saving. This saving
should help in the restoration OF the
devastated sections, and in enabling
the countries of Europe to take care
of the burden of debt.
Should the United States become in
volved in war, it would mean a still
greater demand for money, and con-
seouent further monetary expansion
A large bond issue anyway, since ex-
pcnditures already planned, will re.
quire the raising of several hundred
million dollars, and should the United
States actively engage in hostilities il
would probably mean billions Of dol.
lars of expenditure in very short
time. That the country is amply able
to finance a great war, however, there
is no doubt.
At no time in its history has the
United States been in a stronger
financial condition, or better prepared
irdustrially for war The creates
obstacle is that of insufficient trans
portation facilities, for it is ebelievet
that. with the enormous demands tina
would be made on them by the Govern
ment, the railroads would be unable
to meet the present extraordinar!
commercial requirements. The con
gestion of freight, which has been tn
cause of much embarrassment in re
,, cent months. is. however, being grad
ually relieved, and it is hoped tina
such conditions never again will b.

nal circumstances in which it assumes
power. Russia did not will the war,
which has been drenching the world
with blood for nearly three years.
But victim of premeditated aggression
prepared long ago, she will continue,
as in the past, to struggle against the
spirit of conquest of predatory race
which has aimed at being an intoler-
able hegemony over its neighbors
and subjacting Europe to the shame of
domination by Prussian militarism.
Faithful to the pact which unites her
indissolubly to her glorious Allies,
Russia is resolved, like them, to as
sure the world at all costs an era of
peace among the nations on the basis
of stable national organization guar
anteeing respect for right and justice.
She will fight by their side against
the common enemy until the end, with
out cessation and without faltering.
"The Government of which l form
a part will devote all it's energy to
preparation of victory and will apply
itself to the task of repairing as
quickly as possible the errors of the
past, which hitherto have paralyzed
the aspirations and self-sacrifice Of
the Russian people. | am firmly con-
WINGED that the marvellous enthusi-
asm which today animates the whole
nation will multiply its strength ten
times and hasten the hour Of the final
triumph of regenerated Russia and
her valiant Allies"

WHAT OUR REPRESENTATIVE
SAW AND HEARD AT ESTHER

Whether this little Lead Belt city
was named after the Biblical writer
or someone else was not ascertained,
but it is so named. The population OF
the city is in excess of one thousand
and is very favorably located as to
transportation facilities, as two rail-
roads, the st. Francois County Flee
tric and the Illinois Southern railroad
pass through it. This city is well sup
piled with general and grocery stores,
eight in all. j. W. Jones seems to be
the merchant prince, while the others
all have nice places and are doing a
handsome business. Mr. Hoy, besides
doing a general merchandise business,
is also postmaster. Mr.. Fuller, whose
place of business is near the north
side of the city, has a large and lu-
crative trade He will conduct an au-
to contest in the near future. Mrs.
Hubbard is at present engaged in the
general confectionery business but in
the near future will open up a gene
raj store. She is doing good bus
mess with her present line of goods
and we bespeak for her a prosperous
business when she opens up her new
store.
This a bone-dry town and from ap-
pearances lives up to its professions.
Esther has at least two churches, the
M. E., South, and a Baptist; also a
very fine school building and school.
The school problem in Esther, as
elsewhere, is always uppermost in the
minds of the people. At least three
different propositions with reference
to their school are being discussed
and will bob up at their annual school
election for adjudication, all of which
tend to accomplish the same cnd-to
provide additional necessary room to
properly accommodate the children of
the town and contiguous territory.
One faction advocates the erection of
a high school annex to their present
building, which will entail a bond is
sue of ten or twelve thousand dollars
another faction, of which Mr.. X. Rar-
iden seems to be the leader, advocates
the voting of their district into the
Flat River district, enabling them to
use the Esther school for all grades
up to and including the eighth, let
ting the 9th, 10th, 18th, and 18th
grades attend the high school at Flat
River. Mr. Rariden's plan has much
merit in it, as all children would be
provided for without additional tax
alton. The third faction advocates the
erection Of a ward building some
where in the town that will take care
of the first five grades which would
relieve the existing congested condi.
ton Of the school and would cost not
nearly so much as the first factions
plan. This latter plan would appear
to disinterested party as being very
meritorius. The advocates of this
latter plan seem to be in the ascen.
dency. Three members of the board
of education will be elected at then
annual meeting, which may revolu
tionize things generally, probably
eliminate in decapitating the Kaiser

plicable to the enemy and his al
lies and to the neutral countries
of Europe, brings under control
practically all articles of COM
merce, while the second list, ap-
plicable to all the other countries
of the world, makes only few adj
ditons to the list of commodit 'es
controlled by the proclamation of
July 9, 1917. 1t is obvious that
closer supervision and control of
exports is necessary with respect
to those European neutrals within
the sphere of hostilities than is re-
quired for those countries farther
removed.
The establishment of these dis
tinctions will simplify the admin
istrative processes and enable US
to continue our policy of minimum
izing the interruption of trade.
No licenses will be necessary

YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN

The whole country will be interested in the
nouncement made in Washington yesterday to the eff
feet that Theodore Roosevelt take up regular
paper work October on the staff of the Kansas City
Star.
Colonel Roosevelt will be a welcome addition to the
profession of journalism. He master of strong,
verile and pungent style of English; and certainly he
will not lack for subjects about which to write in the
months Immediately ahead
1t is presumed that the colonels connection with
the Star will be along lines similar to his former
necon with the Ouook-a Of contributing editor
with rowing commission. Whatever he writes will be
interesting reading.
Incidentally it might not be amss to say here that
Colonel Roosevelt raised himself immensely in the
estimation the American people since the break with
Germany by the whole hearted support deficient
support given the government Instead of suk-
ing his tent when his offer lead to France
rejected as many would done, he brushed
aside his disappointment and rendering
of inesmable value arousing nation to the
situation.

ODE TO PALOUSE COUNTRY, 1917
Yes, my dear Palouse, love you!
While the sun rained fire above you.
And the populace were almost half insane
While the world had lost its reason.
You were guilty of no treason;
You produced the grain with very little rain.
When this long dry spells forgotten.
And the kaiser's dead and rotten.
And ones pulses beat again with normal throb.
When mankind has ceased to say,
And our debts are all to pay,
You, my fair Palouse will still be on the job.
