Prosperity Ahead

There is much comfort to be had
from the statement recently oi
Judge Ebert H. Gary, head of the
United States Steel corporation
the greatest business concern the
world has ever produced.
Judge Gary says loug period
of wonderful prosperity is just
ahead of the people of the United
States. When he opens his mouth
he is in the habit of saying some
thing and never says thing un-
less he knows what he is talking
about.
He has been a wise prophet in
the past, because he possesses the
ability to read conditions and pos
sibilities as they are. There is no
reason why his prophesy should
not be one of wisdom in this case,
because there is no reason why we
should rot prosper and every rea-
son why we should.
Banks and fnanciers generally
state that we have passed thru our
worst period of depression and are
now on the up grade. Only the
rankest kind Of pessimism can hold
US back. And who wants to be a
pessimist when ever. human in
stinct spurs us on to optimism?
Let's demonstrate our faith in the
return of prosperity by recognizing
the fact that it is here, and by do
ing our share toward its mainten-
ance in this community.
A proportionate amount of the
prosperity of the country belongs
to the people of this community.
Let's get all we can and keep all
we get. Other communities will
be doing the same.

Watson to the Rescue

Thomas &. Watson, the new
United Sta senator from
Georgia, is to introduce bill IN
the senate making liberty bonds
legal tender. This would put them
on par with the national currency
J and restore them to at least par
value.
If the government ever hopes to
sell another bond in this country in
time of emergency it will do well
to protect the bondholders now.
1t requires simply an act of con-
gress to make every one of these
bonds legal tender. That would re-
quire every person to accept them
in pay ment of obligations just the
same as currency.
They would possess an added
advantage even to the small in
vester, whereas now they are but
despised and depreciating drug in
the market.

HEAT FRANCHISE
Plumbers and Steam Filters
Appoint Committee TO InvesH::.
gate Proposed Ordnance: ::

It was announced in the Herald
in a recent issue that the Steam
Filters union would meet Tuesday
to endorse the proposed ordinance
to grant the heating franchise. There
is no such organization in Duluth.
The plumbers and steamfitters are
In one union. 1t is known as LQ-
cal Union No. II. United Associa-
ton Of Plumbers. Gas and Steam
Filters of the United States and Can
ada.
That union met Tuesday evening.
A member brought up the ordinance
and it was discussed at some length
by both plumbers and steamfitters,
1t became a question as to whether
it would not be better in the long
run for the city to own the plant and
extend the service to all settled por-
tons of the city. =.
It was argued that the installa-
ton of a central plant supplying
only the business section of the city
would give employment to few men
during the constructing Of the plant
There would not be many steamfit'
ters employed as all the joints to be
connected would be welded. Screw
joints would be used on all expan'
sion. couplings. On the other hand
if the city owned the plant and ex.
tended the service throughout the
settled portion Of Duluth it would
create a constant derand for tit
ters in the installation of radiators
and pipes in dwellings now using
: hot air furnaces and heating stoves
The matter was referred to com
mittee to make thorough investiga'
ton of the proposal. H. R. Titrk'
, ham was made chairman of the. COIN
mittee. The election of officers was
put over until the next meeting to be
held Tuesday, January 3. A SIN oke1
will be given that evening. ..
