TEXTILE TRADE IMPROVING
Yarn Prices Have Been We'll Main

The best indication Of improyCment
in the textile business, says The weekly
review Of trade for the Philadelphia

IN the fact that ynrn prices have bccr
maintained at the advanced level
While the cotton market and the yarn
market arc snid, at present, TO- he

prices can be readily advanced from
the present levels and dealers are look

rend. Strange that there are today no outspoken
and avowed advocates for a program of gigantic
ornaments both on land and sea; everywhere is
there heard the prayer for peace strong hearts are
eager for the laying aside of crushing loads that
can bring nothing of happiness nothing of prog
ress, nothing of enlightenment, nothing of service.
Civilization today demands better things of gov
ernments than the planning of how best to kill;
the arts of peace lead through far more pleasant
ways and to far better hopes and ambitions. Our
progress as individuals must necessarily be restrict
ed and hampered under the present suicidal pro-
gram and the same holds true as regards nations.
We are told that of every dollar paid to the gov
eminent for taxes. 80 cents goes for the purposes
of war. Then we wake up, say it is an outrage
but straightway lapse into the old ruts of national
prejudice ready to listen to and believe all the bad
things that are said of other nations by people
whose JOY it is to create spirit of discord and
strife. As has been we'll said, we must disarm
our own souls in spiritual sense before We can
disarm the nation and be safe.

ELECTION GOOD BAROMETER
(Florida Metropolis.)

State elections the best barometers by
which future national elections may be judged,
for these elections, in which party issues are
always predominant, oftentimes predomi-
nant than in national elections, are excellent
saunders of public sentiment, and reports from
all state elections held Tuesday indicate a gen
eral turning to the Democratic party. which is
the same party that went down under a cata-
cysm of votes at the polls last November
In its deeper significance this general result
does not mean greater faith in the Democratic
party as much it means less faith in the Re
publican party. Not having been in control of
public affairs, the Democrats have had no oppor-
tunity to prove the principles OF their party; but
in power the Republicans have ably demonstrate
ed the fallacies in their practices of government
Ohio the Presidents home state. went on record
as favoring soldier bonus which is an indirect
slap at the administration. because only this
week the Republican members of congress de-
feated bonus legislation for the second time al
though it was promised in no uncertain terms a
year ago when the presidential campaign was in
full swing Marion, the Presidents home town
elected Democrat for its next mayor In all states
where elections were held this same spirit man
Tested itself, and it is reasonable presumption
that other states are in similar frame of mind.
because the states which held elections Tuesday
are states where local politics reflect the trend
OF national politics. If the general political move
ment is Democratic these states fall in the pro-
cession, and if on the other hand the pendulum
is swinging to Republicanism, Republican candi-
dates ride to election on the tide of favor.
That the Republicans have, in national way.
made farce of their administration is pretty
generally recognized-and the reaction is setting
In The Democratic party defeated because
II injected foreign affairs into the presidential
race but II the Republican party fails, its fail
ure will be strictly in domestic things-and this
IS the real test of a party Reactions are swift
and overwhelming. The shadow is looming and
soon it will be impossible for the administration
to escape the cloud.

GOOD TIMES COMING

THE better times for which we banker will
come this way long" 1t was the good old
village banker who gave this dance and song
He sized up every sign and token, this safest of
all men, before the cheerful words Were spoken
that made me young again. While other people
may be driven to trampling logic fiat the village
banker isn't given to talking through his hat.
Perchance the tailor the plumber or other
thoughtless loon may think one swallow makes a
summer, and whoop around too soon; how diff
ferent the village banker, he backs no empty
boom; he is more apt to see the canker than
mark the gaudy bloom. So when he says good
times are coming, | feel that they'll arrive, and
take my Tyre and do more drumming than any
bard alive The bankers done lot of doping.
and weighed the pros and cons and SAYS the
night in which we're cropping will have the best
OF dawns. Conditions have been growing ranker
than voters well could bear, but now, behold
the village banker sees good signs everywhere
And who are we to crouch and grumble when he
who Yields the dough predicts a great and early
tumble in every kind of woe?

THE MASTERS
Golfers Weekly.)

Are we living in the Middle Ages? woman
asks that question. She wants to know whether
the same savage old prejudices are afame in
America that caused race massacres martvr
doms, and holy wars in older and unhapnier
lands
straight question deserves straight renv
Ihere are many meager souls who sometimes
out OF blind prejudice, sometimes for political
pront but most often for the mere flip of sensa-
tlon' condemn the creed or the race of their neig
Dor.
They are MASTERS.
They waste their time and thought. and
the time and thought of those who listen to them
Ihey snarl the social fabric of nation that
should be united in fact as it is united in name
Men OF every race and of every religion have
made their contributions to the planning and
dreaming, to the science and art and ndustrv
that have made America, in the ewes of an old
world 1aded by stale hates and endless feuds.
