BETTER TIMES COMING
"The business outlook is
good," "Europe is calling for
wheat ami woolen goods" and
other headlines, heralded by the
press, indicate that there is an
opening up of tratlic that will
bring about better business in
terests in this country, and as a
matter of course, better times.
The starting up of the steel
works at Chicago and of other
businss institutions indicate that
there is a better prospect ahead.
When the outlook ahead is
doubtful business institutions
close and labor is thrown out of
employment, money ceases to
circulate at its usual pace and
we have a money stringency.
When business begins to revive
it must li'ive time to get currency
to circulating and the places
furthest removed from the busi
ness centers will be the last to
feel the effect.
We hear the remark made
that money matters are close,
and we can expect that they will
be until such time as labor is
called into action, as labof is the
medium through which money
is started circulating. However
the indications are brightening
and the next few months should
bring better conditions.
Teaching Thrift In School .
Everyone is familiar with the
reputation for thrift which the
French peasant bears. The
same attribute, though perhaps
in lesser degree, applies to the
German, the Swiss and the
Scandinavian peasant.
Whether or not the condition
of this particular class in those
countries is better than that of
the average worker in this coun
try is not so important and does
not prove so very much. The
advantages and opportunities
here are so much better and
greater, that there is hardly
necessity or even the desire to
practice the same degree of
thrift. But if we were to make
the practice of that virtue pro
portional to the opportunities
and advantages we enjoy, from
that very fact itself we would be
pretty nearly panic proof and
and some of our most perplexing
industrial and social problems
would well-nigh vanish. We
are at times reminded of this in
the amazing facility for getting
on 6hown by the foreigner who
lands in this country with very
little money, and begins his in
dustrial life here with his foot
scarcely on the bottom rung of
the ladder.
We would do well to teach
thrift as part of our public school
education. That is what they
do in France and in Germany,
strengthening the National hab
it by National instruction.. In
at least one of the American
states M ass a ch usetts such
teaching has been incorporated
in the school system; and we are
told by the Massachusetts Savings I
Insurance I,enguo that the re- (
suits after a little more than'
three years' trial are encourag
ing. The matter is not taken up in
the Massachusetts schools mere
ly as a sociological theory to be
tried out; but as an intensely
practical branch of public in
struction, calculated to bear
fruit from the very first. There
is no reason why such teaching
should not be practical, no rea
son why it should not be made
effective. Considering its one
aim. to create a National habit
which will give to the average
man a greater measure of self
reliance and independence, it
should be r movement entitled
in every way to commendable
regard. Telegram.

Sign Advert ising
The Southern Pacific Compa
ny, through its agents, is calling
the attention of manufacturers
and others whose places of busi
ness are located along the com
pany's right of way to the ad
vertising advantages that would
accrue from the judicious use of
signs on their establishments.
Factories and industries sitiu
ated near the Southern Pacific
tracks enjoy a preferable location
from an advertising viewpoint.
The railroad annually brings
out West thousands of people,
most of whom get their first im
pressions of the Coast from what
they see from the trains. They
are always interested to know
what factories in the various
communities produce and as
things are now can only learn
by haphazard inquiry that is
not always answered correctly 01
sufficiently. Especially will
travelers be interested in 1915,
when the greater number of
passengers will be sight seers.
There are many manufactur
ers who might move West were
they sure they could find raw
products in the Western market,
just as there are others who
would be interested to know of.
some Western establishment that
could handle their own raw
products.
Business signs identifying
the various enterprises on the
railroad right-of-way would be
unquestionably an excellent ad
vertising medium.
Strike Zone Will Be Dry Again
The six months proclamation
of the Governor of Colorado for
bidding the sale of liquor in the
northern strike zone of the state
will expire on December 9. but
there is every prospect of its be
ing renewed. The prohibition
of the sale of liquor has been
productiveof increased proficien
cy, better order, and the develop
ment of a more peaceable dispo
sition. The saloons and brewer
ies are bitterly fighting the re
newal of this order.
