THE OUTLOOK GOOD.

Continued industrial activity Is pre-
dicted by the committee on statistics
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States in its annual review of
end-o -the-year conditions of business
and crops.
We are told by this review that
manufacturers have orders far in eX-
cess of their ability t, fill them, and
that in the retail trade of the country
there is a feeling of confidence,
The greatest source of prosperity is
found on the farms where high prices
of products have given the six million
farmers cash with which to make pur-
chases of necessities and Of improved
farm machinery and blooded live
stock.
Wages are high and laborers are
impossible for them before the Eu-
ropean war began.
In New Mexico, the outlook is good,
though we have not vet come to APP
preciate what our agriculture might
be made to do for us. Our rich val
leys are still largely undrained, and
frogs, tadpoles and mosquitoes are the
chief products of many thousands of
acres which might be made to produce
crops probably unequalled except in
the valley of the Nile.
While building is booming in the
east, people here have been waiting
for twelve months for reduction in the
price of building material Indica-
lions are that demand for buildings
has become so great that we shall dis
regard prices in the spring and build
as Albuquerque never built before.
This is q time for hope and faith
and go-ahead. 1t was Admiral Farra-
gut who said: Damn the torpedoes;
go ahead

ing of the conference by which the
treaty was framed This was in def
ference to Clemenceau, who is an
avowed atheist. The south still be-
lieves that God rules the universe, and
that His providence is actively diree-
tive in the affairs of men.
Therefore, the south is deeply dis
satisfied with the league of nations,
and in every state where there has
been an election a large percenta ge
of democratic voters have voted the
republican ticket as a protest. SO
deep is the dissatisfaction that Chair
man Hays has great confidence that
the republicans will carry North Car
odina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, in the 1890 presidential elections.
This is nearly sure to occur unless
the league of nations is settled in such
manner as will not make it an issue
between the parties in that campaign
