REAL PROSPERITY.

Tho wa injected a lot of wind and

. Measured in terms OF dollars n
size of many of our business transac-
tons have been enormous, and our
profits in dollars have been proper
~tionately large. Prices are falling, and
the figures at theNbottom of the led
ger sheets are not as Imposing as they
were. Hence there is anxiety.
During the war, partly ecaus OF
it, and partly in spite of it, this coun-
try was really prosperous. In a meas
ure, prosperity was forced upon 1t:
But much of what was called pros
perity was fictitious. The figures were
there, but there was nothing behind
them. Now the normal relationship
between figures and fact is in process
of being restored. The figures did
not change the facts in the first place,
nor do they do so in the second place.
Consider some of the facts.
The United States, recently a great
debtor nation, has become the greatest
creditor nation in the world. We have
paid all our debts abroad, and there
are due us from abroad balances
which total more than double the en-

The United States produces more
than half of the worlds iron, copper
and petroleum.
The United. States supplies to the
rest OF the world more food products
than does m other single nation.
This country produced one-third of
the manufactured goods produced in
the. world.
Our people are better fed, better
housed, better clothed and better ed

American labor is not only better
paid in dollars than is~ the labor of
any other country, but the American
laboring man is able, out of the pro-
ceeds of his industry, to supply him.

other land.
These are only a few of the things
that represent real prosperity. The
manner in which they are indicated in

we are now enjoying a substantial
prosperity which needs only industry
and sanity to be Increased many fold.

to furnish $50 fpremium money for

A LABOR LEADER SPEAKS.

John H. Ferguson, president of the
Baltimore Federation of Labor, re-
Gently sent in his resignation to that
body. Radical methods adopted by
the unions brought about the break,
and in his letter of resignation the
~'autocracy of labor" is scored in no
uncertain terms. To quote his own
language: +
~"Organized labor should about face.
The way to progress is not to pull ev-
erything down to a level of medioc-
racy. Rather you should stimulate
individual effort and strive to raise
the general level of we'll being"
Mr.. Ferguson is rot the only labor
leader who has recognized the dan.
gerous trend in labor organizations.
Within the past year we have seen a
convention of the American Fedora
tor of Labor cheering to the echo
Samuel Gompers while in the very
act OF repudiating his leadership COM
"hlttlng itself to radical doctrines
which that great benefactor of labor
had opposed with all his might. The
revolution was brought about by the
studied persistence with which the
radical forces carried out their policy
of boring from within" until they
1elt able to overwhelm the construc-
tive forces in the federation.
Neither the labor that is represent
ed oy the wage Garner nor the labor
thas Is represented by the activities
OF the employer can exist in harmony
with an element such as modern rad
1cailsm, which is the avowed enemy
OF both honest labor and honestly ac-
cumulated capital.

on the occasion in question was a Nd.
Mantoux, who appears to be a man
of remarkable ability in his special

words and forms of speech in one

for instance. Two years ago Mr..
Townley gave his unqualified endorse

ticket was successful at the primary,
and was elected in November. Within
considerably less than two years five
oficials/ elected on that ticket have
either repudiated Townley or been re-
pudiated by him. They are the at
torney general, the secretary of state,
the state auditor and two railroad
commissioners. Within an even
briefer. time four others, all c~onspic-

NO CHILDREN.

children in the house to play
1t must be hard to live that way!
l wonder what the people do
When night comes on and work is
through
With no glad little folks to shout,
No eager feet to race about,
No youthful tongues to chatter on
About the joy that's been and gone?
The house might be a castle fine,
But what a lonely place to dine!
No children in the house at all.
No fingermarks upon the wall,
NO corner where the toys are piled:
Sure indication of a child :
No little lips to breathe the prayer
That God shall keep you in His care,
No glad caress and welcome sweet
When night returns you to your street,
No little lips a kiss to- give
Oh, what a lonely way to live!
No children in the house! fear
We could not stand it half a year.
What would we talk about at night,
Plan for and work with all our might,
Hold common dreams about and find
True union of heart and mind,
II we two had no greater care
Fhan what we both should eat and
wear?
We wi knew loves brightest flame
Until the day the baby came.
And snow we could not get along
Without their laughter and their song
Joy is not bottled on a shelf,
1t cannot feed upon itself,
And even love. II 1t shall wear,
Must find its happiness In care;
Dull we'd become OF mind and speech
Had we no little ones to teach.
No children in the house to play!
Oh, we could never live that way!
