"HUSINESS DEPRESSION PASS ING." The Oregoniau of Saturday ban this to say editorially In regard to tbe opinions of President Lovett and the conditions both east and west. The brighter outlook will Interest the noodle of Grants Pass and es pecially bh It Is heralded by the man ager of the Harrlman system which must of necessity have to do with the Romie River valley. The Oregonlan editorial is ns follows: "President Lovett returns east as a bearer of good tidings from the wenl. The general improvement in business, of which he tells, will spread eastward until It covers the whole country. Prosperity is as In fectious as depression, and It can not but Inspire courage for new ven tures among the timid. "Huslness depression Is largely a stale of mind. It often prevails when none of the causes known to economists over-production, liqui dation following a period of Inflation, uncertainty as to war or politics exist. There Is reason to believe that the depression of which Mr. Lovett notes the passing was due mainly to an attack of the sulks among leading men In business. Rail road mN were soured because for bidden to raise freight rates. Man ufacturers were out of sorts because President Taft would not relent In liis assaults on the trusts and be i huso both political pnrtles showed a determination to reduce the tariff. They protested until I 'icy realized that the purpose of tin people was unchangeable. Now they show a disposition to accept the Inevitable and to udjust their affairs to new conditions, actual or Impending. The change In their state of mind will bring about the chango from depres sion to activity. It Is helped along by the depletion of supplies caused by greuter shrlnkago In production, by the growing necessity of improve-1 merits long neces.snry, but postponed while the men who should have made them Indulged In their fit of the sulks. "Capital, like a. child recovering of the sulks, lias learned that It can not have Its own way, and Its face now breaks Into ft smile In the hope of winning an answering smile from the strict hut often Indulgent parent."
