In the first place he must have

that what he feared was true abso-

he was a man and could do his own

that he unearthed a lot Of informa-

and worn with the responsibility,

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

One Of the leading financial insti-
tutions OF the country. commenting
on the pronounced movement toward
lower and more stable prices, finds
in the situation no u for worry,
and points out that this process Of de-
flation has been foreseen and has
been known not only to be inevitable,
but to the restoration of sound bust
ness conditions. OF the outlook it
says:
There Is SO much in the present
situation to inspire confidence and
hope for the future that it is little
short of criminal for anyone to paint
the picture so blackly, through either
ignorance or intent, that these vital
facts are obscurcd. To cite a few
pertinent facts: This country will har-
vest this a one of the largest crops
in its history; its transportation COL
gestion has been relieved Inc it's rail-
road system is for the first time in
q decade on a sound financial and
operating basis; We have passed
through a national election inc as
sured four years of sane administra-
ton of public affairs; our banking
system has withstood the greatest
credit strain in its history and is on a
sound and. workable basis: The ac-
cumulated surplus of five years Of
splendid prosperity is stored in many
ways for Dur continued USE; the
markets of the world demand our
products and a great mercantile ma
rine Is prepared to transport them;
this country has not been over-built
or o~vcr-extended in any of its under
lying activities, and faces no pro-
gram of readjustment along these
ines SUCH rs usually precipitates
panic conditions. We are in the
soundest financial, Industrial and po-
litical condition of any important ma
ton in the world. =. ,
These are the simple fundamental
facts OF u business situation, and
to consider the present reaction a.
anything but a temporary setback
from the destruction, initiation, ex-
travagance and unsound economic
conditions precipitated by the war is
simply not to reckon. with the truth.
1t remains true today, as it has since
this country was first settled, that
any mar who sells the United States
of America short" is in the long run
certain to lose"

more satisfactory way TO facili-
tate the count would be to simplify
the election by reducing the number
of onces to be filled by election and
by eliminating the encumbrance Of

POLICE SEARCH
FOR MURDERER
OF HENRY PIERCE

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 2s.-Local
authorities today continued their in
t~vestisation into the death of Henry T.
Pierce, eastern manager of the, Insley
Manufacturing company. whose body
with h head crushed by blows from
an iron wrench, was found yesterday
in the rear of his office.
They ave succeeded in tracing his
movements up to 1890 O'Clock satur-
day night, but. with this exception,
little progress has been made toward
q solution of the mystery.
The condition of the body indicat-
ed, according to the police, that he
was killed late Saturday night or early
Sunday.
The police are looking for a man
and a woman, who Pierce is said by
a business acquaintance. to have
picked up in the center Of the city
Saturday night and driven to his Of
flee in his automobile.
This man said he left the trio when

COUNTING BALLOTS.

County Auditor Tucker, of Cass
county. makes a suggestion with ref
erence to the counting of ballots
which is interesting, and which may
attract some attention. It is that in
addition to the election board which
we have now there be created a sort
of duplicate board whose business i.
shall be to count the votes while the
election is in progress. Our present
practice is to deposit the ballots in a.
sealed receptacle as they are handed
IN. and to open the box and begin the
counting only after the polls have
closed. Mr.. Tucker proposes that
when 50 ballots nave been deposited
the counting board shall open that
Dox and begin the count Immediately.
counting the contents of the next box
as soon as SO more votes have been
cast, and so on through the day. In
This way only a small number of votes
would remain to be counted when the
voting is over.
a plan similar to this has at times
oeen discussed, and we have an i'm
preston that 1t is actually in use
someWhere-where, or with what sue
cess we are unable to say.
IT Is evident that were such a plan
adopted attention would have to be
given to a number Of details. For
instance. our election laws require
n counting Of ballots h he
performed in public. If each batch
OF 90 votes were counted publicly as
soon as cast it might be possible for
persons having interests to serve
thereby to arrange certain voters in
groups Of SO and time their voting 40
that all their ballots would go into
one box. II the votes had been pur-
chasedsit would then be easy to prove
delivery, and the, lack of ability to
ovid this proof is one OF the things
which has almost eliminated direct
bribery.
MI: Tucker proposes to avoid this
dificuity BY having the count made

Solution Excess Profits Tax.

Congress made no revision
OF the excess profits tax.
Legislation in this respect
cannot long be evaded. for
aside from the inequitable
features of the tax, there is
the reason that as the condi-

called excess profits cease Il
exist the revenue will disap-
pear, and the government
requires a steady income from
a dependable source.
Of the substitutes suggest

Such a tax of one per cent it
