ARE
BRIGHT IN THE
BUSINESS WORLD
Serious Reaction and De.
preston Seems Impossible
If Attitude of Caution
Is Maintained

New York, Oct. 22.-Business pros
poets are unusually bright, both in
the United States and abroad, Ebert
II. Gary, head OF the United States
Steel corporation, declared in an ad-
dress before the American Iron and
Steel industries here today.
Although this Is a time for cour-
age. composure and caution" Mr..
Gary said, 1.-The business skies are
practically without clouds. AS always
there may be shower from time to
time, but there is nothing in the at
mosphere to indicate the approach Of a
dangerous storm.
If there should be serious reac-
ton and depression, he continued,
which now seems improbable, 1t will
be the fault of those who are con-
nected with the business operations
or others who, by reason OF official
position, improperly interfere, and not
because OF any fundamental deficien-
cies in our resources and opportun-
tiles.
without referring to individual
cases or lines Of general business, !
believe In many instances prices have
been outrageously high. This obser-
vation applies more especially to mid
dle-men, so-called, and to smaller de-
partments Of industry. 1t also in
cludes employees in certain trades,
but il does not pertain under present
conditions to the masses OF work
men.
"The present tendency Is found In
the fact that every individual Is per-
fectly willing that all others shall,
make reductions-the larger, the bet.
ter. Now q general public. including
particularly those who are neither
buyers nor sellers to any large ex-
tent, will in one way or another
bring about fair and reasonable
adjustment OF prices. The law oi
supply and demand will be the princi.
pal factor.
The people OF the United States
have reason for confidence in the
business future. They need not bt
discouraged nor impatient"
Speedy recovery Of industry ir
| France and Belgium from the ravages
OF war is predicted by Mr.. Gary. He
described in some detail his recent
trip over the battle fields of the two
countries, where the surface OF the
ground was churned into great masse:
Of rough and irregular shapes" ex
pressing surprise that any apprec!a
bic progress toward habitauon hat
been made.
Rehabilitation was made possible
Mr. Gary said. BY the spirit Of the
French and Belgium people-'the
good na,ured. grim, persistent anc
splendid effort 10 succeed TO restore
and to recover"
II think France has one of the best
administrations she has ever had.
Mr. Gary continued. The president 1,
strong. resourceful, honest ana ha:
the confidence OF every one. The
cabinet is made UP OF good men. The
shall see great progress economically
financially and commercially, durinl
the next few years"

THE SIMPSON LETTER

It seems that the Republican ma

widely certain sections OF letter pur-
porting to come from the sales man

election of Senator Harding in the
coming campaign.
A number of letters were received
in this city by local democrats and
Arthur Carpenter took occasion to
write to the United Drug Company
enclosing the simpson letter" asking
for more information on the subject
Yesterday Mr.. Carpenter received the
following reply from the executive of
flee Of the firm at Boston. which Ia
self explanatory:
Mr.. Arthur Carpenter,

Ardmore, Oklahoma,
My Dear SIR
The letter OF Mr.. II. l.. Simpson,
sales manager OF the United Drug
company upon which you address
ed your reply to the United Drug
company OF Boston, before me.
Please permit me TO assure you
that this letter was totally un-
authorized by the United Drug
company, and Furthermore, thar
the manner in which IL was re-
produced and circulated BY the ma
tiona, Republican committee was
totally without authorization by
the United Drug company. I have
been assured by the national Re-
publican committee tina, a full and
complete retiaction OF this letter
disavowing any part in said prop
aganda BY the United Drug COM

In closing let me impress you
that the United Drug company
never permits the use OF It's name
or influence In any matters per-
tanning TO politics. Its stockhold-
ers comprise just ns many true

prcciate that II is far from the
