IT LOOKS LICE TURNING THE CORNER The state of business of the lumber Industry and of the railroads Is a pretty fair Indicator of the measure of the prospeWtyof the country. Earnings in these Industries the pasttyetir hks n'etibeen such afe to give ground forany over-optlhilstic 'feeling, but the turning point seems tojbfe at hand. The lumber business is showing a marked increase in the number of orders being 'placed. It is noteworthy that the mills, feeling the improved tone of the market, are not contracting for delivery very tar into the future. The de mand has hot feB yel, however, made any appreciable in crease in the prices, bdt If buying continues to Increase, prices naturally iwill rise to a poiut showing more nearly a fair return On the investment. , Locally, the mills are kept busy, and more mills in the vicinity of Springfield are beginning operations. Shipments are larger than for otoliths, although below the normal for more prosperous years. The tide is turning toward a brighter setting, however, and there is promise of even more activity in the lumber business. The railroads, too, are showing gains in their business. Taking the Chicago Tribune for authority, we have the statement that figures .covering 473 separate railroads show an. increase in gross receipts of one and a fraction per cent for the monthy of January as compared with De- ' eeniber, 'while 'the record for February for the same group ' of roads sholvs & de'cidecl gain. Taking the three months together the results are nearly 31 per cent better than for the year previous. This, as the Chicago paper remarks, may indicate that "lhV railroads are really "turning the corner"; and at all events it 'Is meet that Nve should take note of the improved condition and couple it up with all other thingswhich.Just At this time, are to be said for the good of the order. ' Itfls'the favorable and encouraging note in every branch " of industry and commerce "that we want to listen for, all A the time. There 'will be -enough and more than enough '" involuntary ringing of 'the changes oh every 'dfsmal happeh 1 irig, but it Is the Wight side "which incites to nope and action A. that counts. This little item of railroad news helps to make It brighter. THE" ETERNAL HUMAN ' . President Wilson on a Monday morning a short time ago, inaugurated the first transcontinental telephone line. : He talked from Washington with the head of 'the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. A striking event in the history of the telephone. As the President says, it stirs the imagination to think of the human voice finding Its way clear across the continent.

SOUNPNESS 0 PROTECTIVE TARIFF. (Walla Walla, Wash. Bulletin.) The soundness of the jirotocllvb 'tariff principle has been abundantly demonstrated by the effect Of tho European war, which has acted as a bar against importation of foreign goods and has compelled Americans to buy at homo. In July, 1914, when the war began, American Industry was going doWn the toboggan at a rato that would soon havo brought it to tho level of 1893-1. Tho rovival in tho last few months shows the advantage of shutting out foreign importations' of goods in order to Mteop American mlllB running, American laborers employed and American money at home.
