AMERICA IS BEST LAND TODAY FOR
 EVERYBODY, SAYS SECRETARY LANE
By Franklin K. Lane Secretary of the Interior

This country cannot stand still. We have too much to do - too much that must be done. The urge of the American nature for progress does not permit us to be idle.
 We have been thinking so much in terms of Europe, Asia and Africa that we have got to take a little time to bring our minds back to America.
 This is so great a country, and we have so much to do; there is so imperious a demand for build ings and bridges and machines and roads and cloth and shoes and food right within our own country, that we do not need to think of the world demand so far as keeping our own people busy is concerned.
 Just as soon as we get this into our heads we will start again on the old job, and when we have supplied what America needs we will be able to produce a surplus that Europe can have, and Europe will want it for a long time.
 This is today the best land ur- der the sun for the workingmap and the business man and the pro- fessional man. We are to have good times because good times are produced by people working to meet mutual needs.

NATIONS FUTURE LIES IN FOREIGN

 Secretary of Labor.

put in motion by our own de- mands, will remain in motion for long time; there are markets in plenty for everything we can make, and once business has been restored to an even keel these markets will be sought and sup piled with American goods.
 There are first of all the mar Nets of Europe-Europe, which has suffered much more than America; which needs raw ma terials and manufactured articles, food and machinery, in enormous quantity, to repair the damages of the war which shook the stricken continent to it's founda- tions.
 Second, there are the markets of our neighboring republics to the south-the 20 republics of Central and South America. Lat in-America has a strong affection for the United States; its politi- cah institutions are modelled upon ours. It has confidence in our great republic.
 SOutn Amerlca wants to cultl- vate closer relations with us. Our South American trade, largely without effort on our part, has increased enormously, and there are great possibilities still await ing us.
 The future of America lies in foreign trade; the immediate task ahead is the rebuilding of Europe There is work enough for all of us; to accomplish it We need confidence. I am confident an era of prosperity is at hand, and our efforts should be concen- trated in bridging over the gap that lies between us and prosper ity.
 This is not a great task if we approach it in the spirit of under standing and faith.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-04-13

practically all the hands and ma chimes of our country have been taken from their normal employ ment and concentrated on these special lines. The result is that there are millions of unperformed tasks waiting to be performed. There are houses to be built, roads to be constructed, railroads to be rebuilt, trolley cars to be man. ufactured, fabrics to be woven and specialties to be manufac- tured.
 There is a great peace job on hand. This, of course, means work, and work means jobs steady jobs: a steady demand for labor with better wages and bet. ter living conditions for workers as well as profit for investors.
 This is sometimes called indus trial activity" but industrial ac- tivity Is only another term for prosperity. When there is work to be done and hands to do it and capital to start it. there is always prosperity.
 IT In6T6 WoTO no OlH6T countries in the world; if there were no geography except the United States or the American continent, there would be enough work for the people here to keep their ma chinery going for many years. This machinery will start and hum as soon as the period of re- adjustment has been passed.
 By readjustment is meant the change from one form of indus try-the war industry-tO the peace industries. This will take a little time. It means making new contracts, buying new ma chinery, arranging for new stocks. placing new labor, outlining new sales campaigns and a thousand and one other details. all of which are being arranged at the present moment
 With the coming of peace and the Junking of the war stuff, the era of peace prosperity will start.
 One reason why the United States will soon enter upon 6 pe- riod of peace prosperity is found in the demand which the rest of the world is making on this Rs-

AMERICAN BUSINESS MUST RESUME

industries Will Save Money by Returning Old Basis As Soon As Possible Asserts Chief of
 Agricultural Department
By David F. Houston / Secretary of Agriculture

The question the business man must decide is which will be the least difficult course in the long run. He must either sustain a somewhat severe shock or expe- rience a long chill which may work incredibly more financial hardship.
 This nation is fundamentally sound. It has, relatively speak ing, been little touched by the war, materially and industrially. Picture the contrast presented to this country by Europe. You can imagine the disturbed DbItical and economic state. And yet I hear gentlemen expressing appre- hension as to whether this nation, relatively untouched, can from this time forward hold her own proper place in the trade of the world with stricken Europei
 The problem in respect to Flu rope, is not how we can hold our own against her-we are in a rel atively better position than we were in 1913-it is rather how we can assist the peoples of Eu- rope to get on their feet and con- tribute once more their fair share toward the worlds dividend of goods and services.
 I believe that this nation and its rights were worth fighting for. I believe that the problems of peace which we are now free to take up again are as worthy ob- jects for solemn consideration and patriotic devotion as were those of war.
 No section of the country has any monopoly of American vir- tues. Because have witnessed such a magnificent spirit among the American people of the east, the west, and the far west, be- cause I have seen what the Amer ican people can do through better organization for war, l am confi- dent that we shall witness a greater forward movement in our whole economic, social and DO litical structure, and that no question can now confront us which the American people can not cope with.

4 Reasons Why Peace WiI Bring
 Prosperity As Certain As Sunrise
Ffee Expert

, well as the foreigners have learned to make them.
 We do some things better and they do some things better; con- sequently when it comes to glass balls for the Christmas tree or toys for the children, we give our North Dakota wheat and take their Austrian-blown glass or the German-made dolls.
 Already the milliner will tell you that the little fancy trimming stocks have begun to come from France, to her great delight, and the joy of her purchases, and there are stores which will admit the German agent has come in and asked t;iem if they will soon be ready to place few orders as previously to the war.
 With the signing of the peace, geographical lines will fade and the country will begin to stock up with what it wants, what it needs, and what it loves-the things that satisfy for beauty, wear or other method of consumption. All ac- tivities along these lines mean commerce These commodities must be handled by jobbers, sales men and retailers. They are con- tracted for by big merchants, they are handled by railroads and by ships and their tasks mean indus try and prosperity. It is part of
 the industry which will bring prosperity in vast volume with the coming of peace to the Uni ted States.
 A potent reason why the Uni ted States will feel prosperous when peace industries have taken the place of war industries will be the full employment of labor.
 There are unemployed people now, and there will be during the period of readjustment-of change from war to peace industries. But the great volume. of work to done makes it absolutely certain as the law of gravity-that be- fore many weeks have passed there will be job for every pair of willing hands and that the work will be greater in volume than the number of people to per form it.
 Immigration has. been shut off for four years. In normal times, this country receives from one to three million foreigners every year to become a fresh supply of labor. THIS COUNTRY IS PROF. ABLY AT LEAST SEVEN MIL LION PEOPLE SHORT OF ITS NORMAL SUPPLY OF LABOR. This is one reason why women and old men have been brought into industry during the war pe- riod.
 Even with every soldier demob ilized and back at some peace job, there will be loud cry from ev- cry industry for more help. Labor is planning to secure legislation to keep our foreign immigration. The employers, on the other hand
Bisbee daily review., 1919-04-13

will howl more loudly to bring in immigrants It is the way in- .dustry works.
 There are no hard feelings against the foreigner when it comes to needing a man with shovel. Talk will be heard even of bringing Chinese and other ori- ental labor. Already there is talk of bringing in women ''of the servant class" to do the dishwash- ing and the cooking. But, how ever, these problems are worked out, the one thing certain Is the fact that men or women willing to do any job will have no diff culty in finding the job to do.
 There will be little reduction in wages-probably none.

 We have had to slow up, stop and turn around so as to get back on to the highway of peace.
 This all takes time, causes con- fusion and a change of gears.
 When peace is signed it will be like the shout of the crowd at the race track, They're off"
 Ana we will look back on our period of confusion and depres- sion and repression and fear with some wonderment.

higher prise than we might pay a month or two later, but we have become accustomed to sacrifice for the couptry's sake, and this suggestion is made for the sake of the country.
 Buy only what you need, but buy it now" seems good patriot ism.
 The condition of the country is sound. The number of failures is small. The bank resources were never larger or more liquid. America stands. firmly on her feet without fear of the future. We have a great loan to face and heavy taxes to pay, but we shall meet them fearlessly and sue cessfully, and in a few months shall find that our faces are turned toward a bright and pros porous future.

COUNTY ROAD SYSTEMS.

We all feel that real start has
been made in permanent road con-
struction in Bamberg county since
the contractor has begun work on the
highway from Edisto river to Sake
hatchie river. Bamberg has about
as good roads as any county in the
State: in fact we have better roads
than most counties, but that is not
saving so very much, Still, we think
the county handling it's own road
problems to be the best solution. The
State highway project of building a
few hundred miles of concrete or ma
cadam roads at an expense of many
millions of dollars would serve to
benefit the various counties very lit
tie. What we need is a>general sys-
tenn of good roads, and in our opln-
ion the best way to get such a sys-
tenn is for each county to build it's
own highways, connecting important
points within the county. 1t is very
easy, after all, to affect connection
in building such roads so as to have
highways, just as Bamberg's link OF
government road will connect up the
Columbia-S highway.

While the city authorities are pre-
pairing to improve and beautify Main
street, let's not overlook the fact that
there are other improvements to be
made in Bamberg. There are some
unsightly-to say nothing Of unheal-
thy-ditches in Bamberg that should
be removed. And let's be certain OF
to forget those waterspouts on Main
street sidewalks every time it rains.
Also-we tremble to again mention
1.-THE awnings were never put up
on Main street to accommodate the
tall man, or the medium, for that
matter.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES?

The suicide of DR.. Wilkins in New
York State the other day presents an
interesting problem in psychology.
The doctor had been tried and con-
victed of the murder of his wife. He
stoutly maintained that he was inno-
cent. Shortly after his conviction by
the jury, he succeeded in procuring a
rope by means not yet known with
which he hanged himself in the bath
room of the Jail in which he was in
careerated.
The psychological part of it comes
in when one tries to figure out wheth-
er the doctor suicided because he was
guilty or because he was not guilty.
He left a note proclaiaing anew his
innocence, saying that he preferred
to be his own executioner and would
save the judge embarrassment in the
anticipated refusal of new trial.
Will a man preparing to die make a
false statement? Or, would an inno-
cent man commit suicide?

A BAMBERG WHITE WAY.

That the commissioners OF public
works plan to have white way in
Bamberg was a pleasant announce
ment. Folks here, especially the
Younger ones whose future is still
before them, long to see Bamberg
take a strong and decided step for
ward. The old town has been here
for long time, and it will probably
be here long time yet, even though
the streets never get paved and at
tractive lights are never placed on
Main street. Many men have made
money here with the town just as it
is, and many will doubtless continue
to make it, whether the town makes
real progress or not. But, while we
are living here, why not make the
town attractive and beautiful? 1t
makes no difference whether anybody
ever makes a cent more money or
not. People pay thousands Of dol
lars to have attractive homes to live
in. We have but one life to live;
let's get all out of it we can. All
of US will swell our chests with pride
when we can stroll down Main street,
with attractive walks and paved road
way. under the rays Of attractive
street lights. Now won't we?

WE'LL PLANNED ESCAPE.
How French Nurse Foiled German
Third Degree.

Condemned to death by the Ger
mans for her efforts in behalf of
fugitive French soldiers Mademoi
selle L'Hotellier, directrice of the
General Hospital at Cambria, was
spared, but she was fated to undergo
all that Prussian ingenuity could de-
wise to compel her to betray her
associates. She was hustled from
one German prison to another and
subjected to the grossest hardships,
but her spirit never quailed, and fin
ally she escaped, triumphantly re-
turning to France still guarding her
secrets. Her own story, one of the
most gripping of the innumerable
tales of French women's heroism,
was given Ida NJ. Tarbell, who re-
counts it in the July number Of the
New Red Cross Magazine.
Of her escape from Valenciennes,
Mademoiselle L'Hotellier told Miss
Tarbell:
'I was so frightfully i'll they all
thought I would die but I meant to
live-I meant to live and escape.
For six months worked on my plans.
AS I grew better I could walk a lit
tie ard they let me go into the gar
den. Finally I asked them to let me
put on my nurses costume, for curl
ously enough in all my wanderings
my belongings had gone with me,
even to my umbrella. I walked in
the garden day after day quite natur-
ally, until the guards we're used to
me. Then one day I walked out of
the garden into the town. The guards
did not notice. The sisters closed
their eyes. I did this often always
returning until one day I walked out
as usual, nothing in my hands, and
did not return. I walked on and on
through Valencinnes into the country
toward Belgium. Everybody suppos-
ed me lady on an errand of mercy.
Sometimes I asked a lift from the
Germans themselves. rode in their
canions; I slept sometimes in their
quarters.
In the midst of her flight the ar
mistice was signed and Madamoiselle
L'Hotellier found it possible to repair
directly to Cambria. There she found
her hospital uninhabitable but she
was still directrice and her staff raj
lied about with the greeting: eve
knew you would come; we knew they
never could conquer you," and short
ly she was again at work for the
wounded and sick in new quarters,
| for all the world as though nothing
had happened.

shows what little things the Amer
ican mind can busy itself with while
big things are going unnoticed every
day. The jay bird was in the church
and insisted on squawking, and it
was simply a matter of whether the
bird or the preacher was to entertain
the congregation. The preacher de-
cided that he had the privilege OF
the floor and downed the jay. That's
all there is to it. All the excitement
seems to have been elsewhere.
