BUSINESS WILL BE
 GOOD THIS YEAR, ]"
 SAYS JOSEPH SAKS
Large Government Expendi. lures to Aid Birmingham District, Is Belief of
 Business Man

Business? Why. it is just fine. Why do you ask?" said Joe Saks of the Saks Clothing company.
 We are doing more business than we have ever done. and we are even putting on people instead of letting anybody go. As to the fall outlook, we are today possessed of more mer- chandise for the fall trade than the Saks Clothing company ever owned. We have bought heavily, for we know that business is bound to be good in the fall, for it is good now, just as good as we would want. The fact that the United States government is go- ing to spend so much money in per- fecting the army and navy and that a great deal of this steel. iron, coal and coke will come from the Birming- ham district is positive assurance of good trade in this district. We feel confident of breaking all previous rec ords this year." said MT. Saks
 This war talk is only matter of a few weeks. and then we will be fighting sure enough. and we will set- tie down to business, too. sticking right at it as we never have before. Even while the scare was on in Aaril we had good business. In May, so far, we have greatly outstepped our May record for 1916. and the reunion was here last May also. So I can see no reason why we should even entertain the thought of bad business for one moment, as it is simply not true. It is the rankest fallacy for business men to begin to back up and wait for hard times to get them. That is not our policy, and I do not believe that there is business man in Birming- ham who takes that view of the situ- ation. If there is one I have not seen him as yet" concluded MT. Saks

pushing the miners for every ton of iron ore and coal that can be pro- duced promises an even higher pay roll for the coming month. Merchants are jubilant over the fact that vast amount of the material needed by the government. such as steel and iron and coal and coke for fuel will be drawn from this district The optim- ism in local business circles is gen eral in view of the war and the heavy expenditure of the government Instead of there being any feeling of apathy in local business circles. there is ev- cry anticipation of bigger and better business for 1917 than in any previous year.
 The first day of June holds out to the district the distribution of the largest amount of money that has ever been paid for labor since the days Of constructing the large and numer- ous plants in the Birmingham district.

HIsTORY.MAKING EPOCH

The past week has marked an
epoch in the history of the world. It
is doubtful if an equal number of i'm
portant events have ever been noted
in the same short space of time.
In the overthrow of the Romanoff
dynasty in Russia, absolutism has
disappeared from the face of the earth
for all time. For, having tasted free
dom, the Russian people will never
again submit to the yoke of bondage.
After having kept her skirts free
from the European war for more than
two years, the United States has
finally been drawn into the conflict,
and practically a state Of war now
exists between this country and Ger
many. All that remains to be done
to make it a reality is the formal
declaration, which cannot be longer
delayed than the converting of Con-
gress in extraordinary session on the
10th of next month.
The Supreme Court of the United
States upheld the so-called Adamson
eight-hour law. which will revolt
tionize the relations between capital
and labor. 1t is probable that no rul-
ing of equal importance has been
made by that tribunal since the Civil
War.
The world is daily becoming more
democratic. Not only in the United
States. but in all parts of the world,
labor is coming into its own. In this
country, as well as in Europe and
Asia, the working classes are being
recognized and are given a hearing
in the councils of statesmen who are
conducting the governments.

sINECURE FOR LAME DUCK

During the consideration of the bill
to increase the membership Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission it
was rumored about the Capitol that
If it passed Senator Kern, the Demo-
cratic leader, would receive one of
the plums upon his retirement from
the Senate on March 4th. The fail
ure of that measure, however, de-
prived the President of that means
of rewarding his faithful lieutenant,
but it now appears that a place for
him is to be found on what is known
as the international joint commission.
The position pays a salary of $4,000
per year. with practically nothing to
do except to attend an occasional
conference ON a matter connected
with the Canadian boundary. 1t is
of the softest sinecures in the
government service. and one which
the former majority leader will fill
very gracefully.

SPEAKERSHIP OF LITTLE
CONSEQUENCE

Representative Fuller of Massachu-
sets, one of the five who are thought
to control the action of the house,
announces a reluctance to vote for
Mr.. Mann for Speaker. Mr.. Fuller's
remarks indicate that he thinks the
s~peakership is what it once was-a
position of great power. AS a matter
of fact, except for the honor of it, the
s~peakership nowadays is about as po-
tent as the presidency of a debating
society In Mr.. Fuller's home town.
