The Country's Prosperity With the election now over and the national as well as the state and county politics settled, as far as doubt is concerned, the people are looking forward to the time when the new party will take overvthe reins of the United SUtes government, and conduct the business affairs to suit their tastes. Much speculation is being voic e l by the press ana other m- fi tential writers, as to the out come, and with the control of n arly all the legislative power, the new party should De in a position to meet the demands of the country and it is to be hoped that they will in a way that the country will continue to be as prosperous during the next four years as they have been the past, a id it should be to the interest of all to work to that end. It is evident at a glance that the country is riding on the high ti le of prosperity. As the crops are harvested, it becomes neces say to raise the estimates of thjir volume. The increase is general throughout the northern h ?misphere, but theUnited States a id Canada are the chief contrib utors to this increase. The ability of railroads to carry the traffic offered is already taxed tit . ana tney are swamping the car builders with orders. The steel mills have orders for months ahead and the steel trust's earn ings tor the last quater show an increase of 20 per cent over the preceding quarter. The supply of cotton goods is so short and the prospects 6f large consumpton are so good that manufacturers are indifferent to possible tariff reduction, being confident that mirket conditions w'll maintain pric is irrespective of the tariff. The woolen trust shows some alarm, but well it may, and it has been ampy proved that the wool tariff can be materially re duced without depriving it of any legitimate profit. Wilson and his party call their tariff system a tariff for revenue only, but every tariff has the effect of giving protection, by whatever name we call it and whatever be the professed pur pose of its authors,. On the other hand, a protective tariff must be a revenue tariff. The scorned Payne-Aldrich tariff has increased a revenue until it yields a surplus. Then the difference between the two parties resolves itself into a difference as to the degree of protection to be given and as to what industries shall enjoy protection. Wilson' tarrif f plan more close ly approximates to Taft's than does Roosevelt's. It involves no s ich extension of Federal power as would arouse fear of a cen tralized, bureaucratic govern ment. It would welcome any disposition of ihe trusts to break up their organzation to the extent required by the laws he proposes. It would thus restore normal, competitve conditions by a pro c S3 of readjustment rather than b ' drastic means which would cause a violent shock to business. Such a policy, however we may disagree as to its details, implies no menace to business except the tf sts be'ieve should be menaced. The country can prosper while such a policy is being applied in prac ice with the large crops men tioned and the general prosperous feeling felt all over the country, the expression of many financial men, to the effect that there will be no great change, confidence will continue to prevail. About that Democratic Election The following taken from the Oregon i an takes up the matter of statistics and figures relative to the election of Wilson as com Dared Iwith that of the vote for E Brvan at the last national elec tion as in 1896, 1900 and 1908: "Mr. Wilson was elected Presi dent of the United States because of the division and disorgani zation of the Repubican party, and for that reason only. He has no more votes in the aggregate than Bryan had in 1908. The availabe figures, though incom plete, show that the aggregate Wilson vote is about 6,400,000 al most exactly the total given to Bryan four years ago, when that great loser had 6,409,104. The "landslide'-! to Wilson would have landed him precisely where Bryan landed in 1896, 1900 and 1908. if a Republican candidate had been able to hold his party to- gather. Governor Wilson did not defeat the opposing candidates; they defeaed themselves. The aggregate. Roosevelt and Taft vote appears to be about 7,700,000 almost the same as the Taft vote in 1908. There was a considerable stay at home vote, evidently, and an increase for Debs, the Socialist. Anybody could have been elect ed president on the Democratic ticket this year; nobody on the Republican ticket, with Roose velt as a third candidate. With the help of Republicans by the thousands and hunderds of thousands, Wilson runs as well as Bryan; with the loss of many Democrats, Bryan runs as well as Wilson, evidently an the Democarts do not regard Wilson as a real Democrat. It is just as well." ALWAYS The Subject That Routed the Interttt of Every Woman Preea'nt. Elizabeth Jordan, who recently fin ished n play the eocond net of which is laid in n beauty parlor, was talking tho other day about women beauty parlors and conversation. "Thcro aro n good many things that n good many women are Interested In," she said. "But thcro Is one Biibjcct of conversation that will draw every wo man's attention.

This actually happened: "Ono day last winter 1 was at a din ner whero thcro wero fifteen or twenty other women guests. When wo went to tho drawing room after dinner, leaving the mon to their cigars.

It seems that two gentlemen whose ages were along about the mark of three score and ten, were discussing the political sit uation, the tariff and the results of the election, when one of the gentlemen, remarked that he un- 1 1 i t rrt t . a a t aerstooa tnat lait naa re ceived 378 electoral votes, and im mediately the other gentlemen spoke, and tapping his friend on the shoulder said, "partner, haven't you made a mistake, that number was Taft's .telephone number". ALL OBOWDEO AROUND CS. were left nlone. I've forgotten but that's tho way It was. "We -were talking of a subject In which we were both Interested, and we were having a bcnutlful time. But it occurred to tho hostess that one or both of us might feel neglected. So Bho called out from the other Bide of the room: " 'Why, Miss Jordan, what aro yon and Mrs. Blank talking about all by yourselves?' " 'Mrs. Blank la telling mo how she lost ten pounds,' I replied. "Well, you ought to have seen tho center rush! Every woman In the room made a wild dash for our corner. and all crowded around us. The eyes of every woman were all alight with eagerness. And from every woman's throat burst the ono impassioned word: "How? "New York Times. The Scrap B OOK A Malediction on Mathewson. Soon ufter tho baseball season open ed last spring Christy .Mathewson of the New Vork Giants received a letter from a gentleman in a small town reading after this fashion: Dear Sir Will you kindly give me somo advice right away? With the bases full and Hi Hecker. the demon batsman, at the bat. I contend that I ougnt to throw him my slow out droo. My mnnagur Insists that I ought to give him my high In up. This emer gency Is liable to arise at any moment and I would like to bear from you right away." MatbewBon forgot to answer, and three weeks later ho received this let ter from his correspondent: "Sir I asked you an Important ques tion like a gentleman, and 1 exnected that you would answer it irke a gentle man, but you did not do so, und what Is tho result? With three men on bases I threw m Hecker my high In up, and he knocked tho ball over the fence. I hope tbo next time you face Joo Tinker ho bats you out of the box." Saturday Evening Post. Cold That Kills and Cold That Cure. In England severe cold generally kills n good many people. In certain narts of North America cold still mora severe puts new life Into them. It re quires no argumentation to show that there must be a definite reason for this. Tho chief reason Is that English cold Is mostly damp, while In North Amer lea It Is mostly dry. There Is the great est difference In the world between dry air and damp air. Tbo former Is usu ally air pure and simple, possessing a full quantity of oxygen and ofteu charged highly with ozone. The latter consists of air mixed with the vapor of water. When the former air. fully oxygenated. Is breathed It stimulates more powerfully than champagne. The latter, less oxygenated and charged with vapor of water, not only does not stimulute. but depresses. A Night of Terror. Few nights are more terrible than that of a mother looking on her child chocking and gasping for breath dur ing an attack of croup, and nothing in the house to relieve it. Many mothers have passed nights of terror in this situation. A little forethought will enable you to avoid all this. Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy is a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fail. Keep it at hand. For sale by all dealers. Tho clouds Llfe'a Triumphs. Each Ufa has one grand day. may lie Along tho hills and storm winds fiercely blow, The trrcat red sunshine like a tlilntr of woe And death's sad skeleton stalk grimly by, lot none or tneue, no matter how they try. Can shroud the perfect triumph we shall Know Or dim the glory that some star will show, Bet far away In depths of purple sky. Sweet love may bring to us this day su preme. Or It may thrill our souls through art or song Or meet us where red battle surges foam: Hope's stranded wrecks tho barren coasts may gleam, And weeks and months dash by a somber throng. But somo time, somewhere, It will surely come. -T, 8. Collier. Abstract Report H. J. Healy to G. V. Stanton Sh NE, NE NE, SE NW 12-12 13 $1. D. P Rea to Hiram P. Andrus Eh SE 23 m SW 24 10 13 $3300.
