EUROPEAN WAR ONE I YEAR AGO TODAY t $$ OCT. 27, UH I A rebellion against tho Govern ment of tho Union of South Africa, led by General Do Wet and General Bevcre, breaks out In westorn Trans vail and In Ornngo Frco State. In tho fighting in France and Bel gium tho Allies contlnuo to ndvanco betwocn Yproo nnd ltoulcrs. Almost all tho Germans who cross ed tho Yser havo been driven back to tho other shore. All attacks of tho Russians south west of Warsaw nro repulsed and a now Russian army crosses tho Vistu la north of Ivnngorod. Tho Austrlans clnlm to havo tnkon thousands of Russian prisoners In tho fighting nround Ivnngorod. Gorman troops forcibly invndo tho Portuguese provlnco of Angora, West Africa. Massachusetts, according to tho gov ernment estimate just compiled. These states, however, are but ona-thirty-fifth of tho area of the entire country. If all our territory should bo as densely populated as tho four named, Unclo Sam would have a fam ily of 875,000,000 person. What is tndro to tho point tho beBt part of the nation is the most sparse ly settled. Tho west la richer in na tural resources and has a better cll mato than tho cast or tho middle states. It Is wholly logical to ex pedt that in timo tho west will be more populous than tho east. After tho war has closed and tho world equilibrium is restored tho northwest will witness great gains In population. It is safe to antlclpato this chango will not come about with a rush. Tho development will be gradual but It will be as certain ns tho law ot gravity. Stories of State Elections To be Held TMs Year & n PROSPERITY ON THE WAY 1 THE PIMPLE MAKE THE CITVu d CIVIC interest hooihh to bo at n low ebb in Marshflold. Less than hair tho voters of tho cVty havo registered. Tho last day for filing nominations for tho primaries with sovoral vacancies, has passed without n alnglo namo bolng filed for tho positions of two councllmon and n mayor. Tho Individual citizen and tho po litical unit whothor this bo tho Na tion, tho, Btnto or tho municipality aro linked togothor. As either ris es or falls, ho doco tho othor. Tho citizen Jh tho political society lit tho making and In miniature, tho utngo and the city tho organized nggro gatu of nil citizens in their political capacity. Tlio highest development ot each Is had through tho fullest development ot tho othor. Lot tho citizen decamp from fulfilling his du ty In public affalrBj then tho com monwealth and tho community suf fer. Lot tho city bo inoltlclont or unproeresslve; than tho citizen Is hampered and handicapped In suc cessful prosecution of his Individual Interests. Marshflold takes prldo In Its llvo progrcsslvencsB mid tho general vim with which local prnbloma nro lmiirt led, Tlaco tho city government i the hands of nion Imbued with some motive othor than sincere sorvlco to tho city and 1(h best ideals and the town will reap tho penalty In misrule and possible chaos. It Is time for tho Individual citizen of Marshflold (0 do boiiiu thinking. THE prosperity chorus continues to lucrcaso in volume. Not war orders alone but peaco or dors, nro responsible for tho rising tldo of business betterment. From St, Louis comes tho news that the shoo factories nro overloaded with or ders, and now comes tho Dry Goods Economist, which isn't given to base less prosperity rhapsodies, mid in its last lssuo says: "In practically cvory section of the country both tho lmme,d!ato situation and tho outlook afford decided ground for oncouragoiuent! And this Is truo allko of agricultural dis tricts and manufacturing centers." In anothor column Tho Times prints nows that tho lumber trade, tho last to feel tho lmpotus ot improv ed conditions, Is nt last emerging from tho pnulcy shadows into the 'sunlight of prosperity. Crops nro far bigger than over bo- fore, and nro worth far more. La bor, reports tho Economist, is "well employed," and "tho tendency to economize, is less marked than It was up to about sixty days ago." Col lections nro gonernlly satisfactory which moans that people have money enough 'to pay their bills, and aro suro enough of tho futuro so that they don't hosltato to let tho money go. Retail merchants aro buying moro freely. A largo movement ot fall and spring merchandise is re garded ns assured. Tho Pacific coast, which until lat ely has complained of dullness, re ports abundant crops and a returning spirit of confidence. Tho south, re cently so pessimistic, Is said to bo "facing on era of prosperity unequal led In her history." Tho west and mlddlo west, of course, are profiting grently from tholr j agricultural blessings; and tho manufacturing cast, with war orders and a reviv ing domestic market, Is moro bouy ant than It has been for years, A Boston business man writes, "Wo all doploro tho possibility ot a .boom; yet, in splto of ourselves, wo may hnro ono." Tho nation needn't do any great nraouut of developing Just yet. Wo can stand quite u llttlo prosperity without losing our hoads over it. Anyhow, we're glad of tho chanca. and willing to run tho risk. EIGTK STATE ELECIONS Eight states, Now York, Massachu setts, Maryland, New Jcrsoy, Penn sylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, and Miss issippi, will hold olectlons on Tues day, November 2nd. 1 Jn four of theeo states, Massachu setts, Maryland, Kentucky and Miss issippi governors aro to bo otected; in six states, Now York, Massachu setts, Maryland, Now Jersey, Ken tucky and Mississippi the state legis latures, in wholo or in part, aro to bo elected, and in five Btates, Now York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, important constitutional lssuos aro to bedded.
