UNPRECEDENTED PROSPERITY
A Washington news special says:

A Washington news special says:
Tho United Statese is entering
upon Period of unprecedented pros
peritx. Government leaders who are
guiding the destinies of the nation IN
the present war crisis are convinced
that if the American people will keep
cool for a few weeks until the first
shock of entrance into the war is
past, and continue their business as
usual. they will witness America Sc
curing industrial activity which will
bring prosperity TO all classes.
Commenting upon this, the Ledger
of Birmingham, Ala, declares:
THE man who cannot see prosper
ity has no eyes. 1t is as inevitable as
that men have stomachs. must wear
clothes and must have that with
which to fight.
"How anyone can foresee other
than a period of prolonged industrial
commercial and agricultural prosper
ity in this country, with the Birming-
ham district enjoying its full share, is
difficult to conceive" the Ledger says.
"The greater portion of the civilized
world is engaged in conflict with mil
lions of men on the battle field with
drawn from the fields of production
consuming, destroying. devastating.
Every soldier must be fed and cloth
ed. Every vacancy in factory and on
farm must be replaced. The CONNER
cial industrial and agricultural vacu-
UNI must be met somewhere The
where is the United States.
asked what had been the effect OF
our entrance into the war, an indus
trial captain of the district said: If
anything, it has stimulated the al
ready maximum speed at which we
were going
"a Birmingham banker said: All
the $1,000, 100000 war revenue fund is
to be expended in this country. Not
only what we lend to the allies, but
what this country expends for NUM-
lions of war will be paid out in Amer
lea. Our iron and steel mills. our coke
and coal plants and our foundries are
operating at maximum with wages
thirty-three and a third per cent. high

triaIly, Birmingham Is at high speed.
Farm products are and will remain in
great demand at top notch prices. We
are to manufacture and to raise crops
for Europe as well as America The
money to pay for our products is in

cumstances, to foresee anything but
a long period of pronounced prosper

NO PASSPORTS FOR SOCIALIST
MEDDLERS

If the state department has refused
to issue passports to certain socialists
seeking to go to Europe to promote a
separate peace between Russia and
Germany, it was entirely right.
There are many socialists in this
country whose conduct and utterances
have rendered them objects of suspi-
cion. Because of their pro-Germanism
they have forfeited the right to be re-
garded as loyal Americans. On Amer
lean soil it is their privilege to air
their views, If they can find an audi
ence. But their foreign exploits are
another matter
Least of all should the government
furnish passports as a means of pro-
lection abroad to people eager to work
against the United States in the war
or engaged in furthering the designs
of its enemies. When the time comes
for the United States to send peace
ENJOYS across the Atlantic the govern
ment will select commissioners OF its
own, who will represent the American
people and the American nation. At
this time it is certain that no Ameri-
can socialist should be permitted to
go abroad on private mission to in
crease the difficulties of his own
country.-World.

RETURNING TO OLD WAYS

In bellum and ante hellum times
our mothers preserved many articles
of food, which was a wonderful help
to them in preparing the daily menu,
and won for them nationwide repu-
tation.
After the civil war, canning estab-
lishments and packing plants became
so numerous and their output was
sold so cheap. and was found so han
dy that the ways of our mothers be-
came almost a ''lost art"
But happily conditions are forcing
them to the front again.
Never in he history of the country
was domestic canning so general and
so popular.
Never have the national and state
governments been SO prodigal in their
efforts to diffuse information along
these lines or more generous in their
appropriations.
Government demonstration agents
and domestic science teachers are
now found in every county, and
their labors are producing reyolu-
ton in the domestic economy and
home life of our people.
The experiment station at Gaines
vile, and the domestic science depart
ment of the Woman's College at Tai
lahassee, over which Miss Agnes Ell
len Harris presides, are accomplishing
a wonderful work for our state.
The agricultural department at
Washington is lending every aid pos
sible, and is sending out experts to as
sist our local demonstration agents,
not alone in the art of canning vegeta-
bles, but in the conservation of foods
in variety of ways.
The people of this community have
been given an ocular demonstration of
these methods.

Tallahassee and Miss Davis of Baker

THE NEGRO AND THE SOUTH

The late Booker T. Washington rose,
perhaps, to greater distinction than
any member of his race, unless it was
Toussaint POverture. An urchin, a
ragged bootblack on the streets, he
made so much of himself that he was
not only received as a mark OF dis
tinction by the head of his own nation
but by many of the potentates of the
old world, yet he at no time ever for
got that he was of the south and very
southern From first to last his ad-
vice to his race was to remain in the
south. Here he said they would re-
ceive the more abundant opportunities
and the more abundant encourage
ment. This man never lost his head
because he never became puffed-up on
account of the distinctions and favors
shown him. His advice was always
good advice-advice thoughtfully ma
tured. He never once questioned the
motives of the great Creator of the
universe for creating one race red,
another brown, still another black,
and yet another white. He did not
waste time in vain attempts to unrav
ell these mysteries, but he was willing
to- believe that they were for some
good purpose. and he accepted condi
tions as he found them, and did what
he could to make the best of those
conditions His race will do well to
follow the example of this man who
held the respect of his own race while
winning the respect of all other races.

The Rev. Mr.. Kelly is being
