The folks in New York who supposed to hand the literary standards for the rest of the try think he's just awfully realistic. They ought to know for the majority of them who amount to much of anything from small towns.
 It all depends what you on Main Street. Mr. Lewis lot of dulneSS tedious inhabitants. minds and SmugneSS. the horrible slime of ~mugncsS ering everything.

Matthias Ezberger is not likely to get very far ill his proposal for general colscrptiOn of labor in Germany. That country certainly done with its troubles yet and really be what will be the ultimate fate of the nation which lightly set the world fire in 1914.
 But any lover of liberty will pause before he assens to such proposal compulsory labor even for the Ger It is true that the idea has many aurng phases. As Ezberger these workers could be utilized for farming state domains cutting forests reclaling the swamp lands and mining coal

THE SILVER SITUATION

One of the important features of the silver st
 tlon Is the fact that India is trading off its bulk of gold for silver the offering of the white metal in the markets being small possibly of the United States absorbing all of its producto this country being the original of supply for export India and Asia
 London which has been the great for gold and silver has lost it's position rupees having gained strongly despite the fact that sterling much lower than few months Much concern has been expressed among the brokers of London the direct shipment of silver from San Francisco to India and China This really the first time in history that England has allowed silver purchases to be made direct by the Indian the Indian business This is probably due to the fact that India is somewhat locally governed having been accorded better governmental position naton and hereafter that have strong the fal cal world If this is true find market for silver if there be such thing that will make s mining lucrative business to follow. England ing should be brought together in effort combat this giant evil It the holding down of the s level and the forcing of nations to gold stand ard that gave England the financial advantage that she has enjoyed for the past hundred years and this advantage the loss of the who delved the earth for gold and silver Now the time change this condition The United States Mexico and Canada have the whip hand if they would but unite fixed price for the precious metal. England. noiproducer. has the price every produce of every country in the world and it is about time that the producing
 tries sold their product price that accorded them reasonable return for their labor
 Should the United States and her associated tries in the production of gold and silver the price u ward above the present purchase level England would surely lose her grasp the trade of the world and We would gain it. India and China need high priced silver which do business and nE"and only do business when silver is low.
