of the authorship of q malicious false

able to get the money. He was In
danger Of losing his business. Sam
son spent the day investigating the
affairs of the merchant. His banker
and others spoke well of him. He was
said to be a man of character and
credit embarrassed by the unexpected
scarcity of good money. So 1t came

lots he owned were then worth less
than when he had bought them, but
his faith In the future Of Chicago had

He wrote a long letter to BIN re-
counting the history of his visit and
frankly stating the suspicious to
which he had been led. He set out

Election of Jane Adams.

The election of Jane Adams of Chicago to
the presidency Of the International Women's
congress should be very gratifying to the mil
lions of her fellow countrymen and country
women who have long held her in highest
esteem for her many noble qualities OF head
and heart
The election was at Vienna, where the con-
gress has Just concluded the most important
meeting in its history and was by unanimous
vote of the delegates representing nearly every
nation in the world. Aside from the great per-
sonal honor involved in the election, it was
significant in its bearing on the many efforts
for world peace that are going forward. Miss
Adams is devoting all her great powers to this
cause.
The most important action taken by the
congress was the adoption of a resolution de-
signed to line up the women Of the world for
non-participation in any activity that would
increase the danger OF war.

Ingratitude of a Nation.

The story of nations cold ingrattude to a
man who has been in the army most of his life
comes from Fort Thomas, Ky. It appears that
Sergeant Samuel woodnn has served in the
regular army more than 30 years. He went
overseas with the American expeditionary
forces He served with more than ordinary
distinction. He attained the rank OF captain.
He was devoted to duty. In the tragic strug-
giles in which he engaged he personally killed
10 of the enemy. single-handed, captured three
machine gun nests and three prisoners in ad-
dition TO the ordinary routine, risking his life
in numerous conflicts.
This hero Of the war returned home after
the signing of the armistice and a grateful
republic, in the reduction of the army, denoted
him to his pre-war rank OF sergeant Senator
Ernst of Kentucky. feeling the injustice of such

New Drive on Liquor.

1t lis announced that Commissioner Haynes
has begun q new drive under the Volstead law
to make the final cleanup OF the liquor bust
ness. There are serious doubts as to whether
this will he the inal cleanup, but the end is
not very far away, and the next generation
will wonder why there was much disturb
ance in connection with the cleaning up Of the
liquor business, anyhow.
The progress made in the United States
against the liquor traffic since the enactment
OF the 18th amendment should be very crafty
ing to the friends Of temperance when the sit
uation is properly considered After long
downpour of rain It takes the ground a good
while to dry out and stagnant pools remain
long after the downpour has ceased. So it is
with the liquor traffic. There was a continual
production of an unhindered volume of liquor
in this country for a good many years, and it
is only natural to presume that the whole
downpour could not be completely wiped out
in day, nor all the pools OF liquor dried up
in a week.
While there are some people who claim
that there is more liquor consumed now than
before the constitutional amendment was
| adopted prohibiting the continuance of the CAL
rying of the liquor business, these people
who make this statement are only whistling
to keep up their courage while passing through
the woods
Before Rock Island went dry there were
some ninety saloons in the city. Each saloon
| required the whole time of average of three
persons whose undivided attention was given
| to the disposition and sale of liquor Does any
body assume at the present time that with all
the bootlegging that is reported there is enough
liquor disposed of to require the undivided at
tention of 800 persons in the city OF Rock Is
land for the sale alone of the liquor besides
the time Of those whom 1t would be necessary
to be employed in the manufacture OF these
Illicit spirits? The high prices of booze. which
are growing higher right along, will, in the
course OF time, stop the sale of even the worst
brand OF homemade liquor.

Among men best qualified to speak on the
subject there seems TO be general agreement
that an era of unexampIed prosperity is at
hand. In the opinion Of Samuel vauelaini.
president of the Baldwin Locomotive company,
we may look for a revival Of business activity
on large scale not later than November in
this year. Less precise to date, but equally
cheering, is Judge Ebert H. Gary's declaration
10 friends in the steel industry that. unless
grtyious mistakes be made, prosperity is not
far distant. Judge Lovett, basing his expec-
tation on conditions in the railway world, is
convinced that distinct revival of prosperity
will be made evident before the first of August.
Ali these representations of dawning era of
prosperity are based on an appreciation of the
enormous natural resources OF the country and
a more active exploitation of these resources
as soon as world economic conditions become
stabilized.
1t is difficult to see how one who even
family realizes the magnitude OF our natural
resources the extent and fertility of our agri-
cultural lands, the petroleum wells within
our own borders whose output runs into the
billions of dollars annually. our rich iron ore
and copper deposits. our wealth OF forests and
cattle and sheep on 8 thousand hills and plains
to say nothing OF our store of precious metals
can help being, in the phrase of the elder
Morgan, "a bull on the future OF the United
States.
Nevertheless We are forced by the logic OF
recent events to recognize that there is some
thing lacking when-despite our marvellous
richness in natural ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
