WE NEED PROSPER
ITY FOR THE WAR

Americas success in the war de-
ponds on the continuation of her
business prosperity.
We have the word of no less an
authority than Howard E. Coffin.
of the Council of National Defense
for this statement.
Unemployment and closed fac
tories, brought about through fitful
and ill-advised campaigns for public
and private economy, will prove a
veritable foundation of quicksand
for the serious work we have at
hand. We need prosperity in war
time even more than we need it in
peace Business depressions are al
ways bad, but doubly so when We
have a fight on our hands.
THE declaration of war can have
no real evil effect on business What
bad effects are apparent are purely
psychologist and largely of our own
foolishness. We need more business
not less. There is real danger
in hysteria. Indiscriminate econ
omy will be ruinous. *We must
have successful industries if success

to do his bit" for his Country
There is no way in which those who
cannot participate in actual warfare

doing business as usual.
1t is proposed TO pay our way as
we go" instead of saddling our chill
dren with bond issues of large
amounts.
The only way we can do this is
to keep money circulating. Money
hidden away in safety deposit vaults

is doing the utmost good
Keep right on doing as you are

GRIEVING PARENTS
BURY WRONG CHILD

Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. Wyman, of
Grand Isalnd, Nebr., returned from
Denver with the baby they thought
they had laid to rest a month ago.
Through a mistake in San Fran
ciso hospital, they brought the
wrong baby back to Nebracka. For
weeks they lavished parental love
on the infant. Then it became i'll
and died. Then came a telegram
telling them of the joyful news that
they had taken away from the hos
pital the wrong baby, and that theirs
still lived.
Mrs. Wyman gave birth to her
baby February S, and by means of
careful nursing and the science of
the incubator method the infant
lived. When the child was about six
weeks old Mrs. Wyman was suddenly
called to Nebraska. She rushed to
the hospital where she was well
known. Without giving a name she
asked for her baby and hurried
away
Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman arrived safe
ly at Grand Island with the child.
For several weeks it's health remain
ed good, the parents never suspect
ing the mistake. Then came illness
and death. And then, in a few
weeks, the telegram. The parents
hurried to Denver where they were
met by a nurse from the San Fran
cisco hospital, who carried in her
arms to the overjoyed parents their
own baby.

time it was made General Pershing
with force of regulars had not ben
ordered to the front. Pershing's ca
pacity to train soldiers is probably as
great as that of Colonel Wood or any
other man in the regular service.
The real objection to the sending
of Colonel Roosevelt to France at
this time comes from the regular
army men. Their reasons have force.
They insist that this fighting belongs
to them and that it would be not only
unjust to them but unwise from a
military point of view to put an in
experienced civilian into the field
ahead of the regular army 1t would
not be possible in this connection of
course to eliminate the personal ell
ements involved. Army men are
very human and they have their frail-
ties and jealousies just as do people
in private life The point which
Roosevelt and his friends should not
overlook in this case is that these
army men have rights which are en-
titled to respect and consideration.
They should be respected in their
rights and overruled only when they
are wrong or when the welfare of
the country clearly requires such
action.
The factors in this situation which
the people should keep in mind
especially the friends of Roosevelt
are as follows: President Wilson is
the commander in chief of the army
and navy and we are all soldiers
Roosevelt included. Obedience to
reasonable orders is a necessary first
requisite to the waging of success
full war Ii is a reasonable and ten
able plan to send the regular army
to France first. Roosevelt's chance
will come later with the sending over
of the national guard units or the
first attachments of the new army
raised under the selective conscrip-
ton law.
Roosevelt has in the meantime
done his part. He has offered his
services in any capacity. President
Wilson has not as yet passed any
reasonable limit in denying Roose-
cit a chance to serve. If Roosevelt
later is given place all will be well.
Let us not forget that this war is
something different than a contest
waged against nation like Spain or
Mexico. We must all rise above the
factions and creeds and everything
that is petty and selfish and exert all
our energies against the enemy which
would destroy the form as well as the
substance of the government under
which we live.

WHAT is S7,O0O,OOO,OOO?

c. d. Hamilton, of st. Louis, has
figured out what 100000 is.
According to him there are more
dollars in such an amount than there
have been seconds since the signing
of the Declaration of independence.
If the United States minis began to
turn out the dollars they would work
continuously day and night until 224
years had passed
If you spent a dollar a minute il
would only take you 1913 years to
spend your money If you had il
invested in the bank without interest
and you drew a check for 1000, 900
day for 22 years there would still
be S26.000.000 untouched. If il was
invested at per cent at the end
of spending 100000 a day there
would be twice as much in the bank
as when the account was started
To count the money would take
fifty years work of fifteen men, if
they worked eight hours a day and
counted a bill second, but at the
death of the last counter, there would
still be enough left to give every
man, woman and child in ST. Louis
$500 and leave a balance of $780,
100000 to be distributed to those
who may come hereafter.

ROOsEvELTs APPEAL DENIED

The appeal of Col. Roosevelt to
be permitted to raise volunteer di-
vision for service on the western
front in the European war has been
courteously denied by President Will
son, at least for the time being. The
reason submitted by the President
are tenable if not wholly conclusive
and they should be accepted in a gen
erous way by Colonel Roosevelt and
his friends throughout the country.
The plea that the officers whom
Roosevelt desires to take with him
are needed in this country to train
soldiers would be conclusive if at the
