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."

why,
Speaking about the election
and the results, the writer a few
days since heard a story that ap
pealed to mm very iorciDiy, as
being in line with the pubic sen-
timrnt.
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-

spoke, and tapping his friend on
the shoulder said, "partner,

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

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:

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

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,

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

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.
