day. He continues:

There is no place in American lis
for a secret political society, by what
ever name it may be known or what
ever principles it may advocate.
When political issues and govern

ed on the hastings by men WITH uncoV-
cred faces but are determined in secret
conclave, in the darkness of night ana
by men whose identity is unknown to
the general public then indeed IS tn 3
Republic in danger and its institutions
in peril.

His appeal is forceful and eloquent,

Heavy snowfalls and zero weather
have held the northwest in grip for
the past week with only one sign
of moderation of temperature, and
that during snow storm Saturday
evening. About six inches more snow
fell over the prairie, followed by a
drop in temperature to below zero.
The cold snap, however, is not as
severe as that of last week, when
low mark of % under the cipher was
recorded here and colder ON Camas
prairie. Following the snow storm of
Saturday night, the skies cleared and
Sunday night the temperature drop
ped to zero. Monday night, the mer-
curry went to sixteen below, moderat-
ing to several degrees above during
the day.
Tuesday night a temperature of
twelve below was registered; slight
moderation in comparison to the night
before. A prediction offered by local
weather prophets that the rnermome-
ter would drop to thirty below, and
that strong wind from the north
would arise, proved wrong.

Come Back Of Agriculture
Revives Spirit of Nations
Future Progress.

New York, December 23,-That re-
cent advance in prices of farm pro-
ducts and revival of agriculture indi-
Gates that business faces process
sion of years" of unusual prosperity,
was the opinion expressed by DIR.
David Friday, formerly president of
the Michigan Agriculture College and
now professor of Economics at the
New school for Social Research in an
address tonight at the annual din
ner OF the New York faiiroad Club.
DIR. Friday, who is leading au-
thority ON agricultural economics
compared the situation now existing
with that existing after the depres-
sion following the panic of 1898.
"The depression of 1S93-1S96 was
brought to an end" he said, "by the
rise in wheat prices during the elec-
ton year 1896, and by continuation
of that rise in the next year. Produc-
ton then increased at an amazing
rate. Within four years after 1897,
the traffice of the railroads had in
creased 30 per cent. In ten years it
had doubled.
Business depression is never fully
over until agricultural prices have re-
vived, and until the purchasing power
of the thirty million people on farms
has been restored You may have a
temporary business revival, such as
occurred in this country in 1922 and
1923, without an agricultural revival,
but in the long run it is the latter
, which brings abiding prosperity.
"This is the fundamental fact in
, forecasting what the future holds for
the railroads. Business prosperity, of
, course, produces better profits, pric-
es which tend upward rather than
downward, and substantial wage pay
ments But the fundamental fact un.
derneath, the essence of prosperity, Is
large volume of production. When
production is large, railroad traffic
is large; and when traffic is large
there is employment for railway labor
and profit for the railroad investor.
"The Industries of the United States
are at turn of affairs such as
comes only once in a decade or two.
We have just seen an industrial de-
preston, brought to its close by a
dramatic revival in agricultural pur-
chasing power This revival is real
and thorouglIgoing, and it will have
the same consequences this time that
came with agricultural revival after
the depression of the seventies and a.
gain after that of the nineties.
"Both the raw materials and the
finished product must be carried by
railroads. What the period of business
revival which confronrs us means for
the railroads, then is a growth of
tonnage and of business. The year
1925 should see a new high-water
mark in American railway traffic"
