Tho huge electria" industry in all its branches will celebrate Electrical Prosperity Week, Nov. 29-iec,4, in an optimistic attempt to bring back prosper ity and good times throughout the country. The stimulus this great industry can give toward prosperity will go fur to bring back the good old times. The t hree billion dollar electrical in dustry of the country is back of a na tion wide celebration of Electrical Pros perity Week scheduled for Nov. 29 to Dec. 4. Local electrical interests will celebrate. An electrical engineer, affili ated with tho Society For Electrical Development, explnins this prosperity campaign ns follows: "The mere mention of the word 'prosperity' brings a sense of warmth and contentment over the average man. Wo have been so fed with the word 'depression' since the outbreak of European hostilities that today we do not know what is prosperity. The word and condition flew out the na tion's window when we fell to think ing and wondering how the war, legis lation and other influences seemed to conspire to kill business. From figur ing retrenchment we espoused timidity, and from timidity sprang business stag nation." Prosperity is returning in us hv .t tne reverse chain of thought with the lighting circuits, as has been success idontical psychological links, the mind fully carried out iu several western -ku.ii jn-nurming mo operation. The electrical industry viewed the nation wide business depression and decided to switch off peonle'a minds ftrfd tn make "prosperity" spell something real nnd true. The eloctrical industry said: "Lot'e WOMEN SUBJECT TO KIDNEY TROUBLES! I beg to Bay that I have been a con stant sufferer with severe pains in my back and was on the verge of nervous proseration roBulting from kidney trouble and other complications. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root as a sure cure for these troubles. Acting upon her ad vice I began taking Swamp-Root and began to improve before I had finished the first bottlo. I continued its use nn- til I hud taken several bottles awl con tinued to improve until completely cured. I nm happy to say that I am as well as any woman on earth and have been so for the past nine years, thanks to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Hoot, and 1 cheerfully recommend it to all who suf fer from kidney troubles.

The GRAND MONDAY, DEC. 6 8ELWYN It COMPANY FreeenU THE LAUGH FESTIVAL TWIN BEDS (Not Moving ricture) Iff Clean It's Eumaa and Oh, It'i runny PRICE SO CTS. TO fLCO hava an Electrical Prosperity Week in every city and town in the United States. Yon can't halt business in this country any more than you can stop the rush of Niagara. There 's no rea son for depression. Let's wipe the 'hard times'' howlers off the map! " And so it started. The electrical in dustry turned its tremendous broad Bide on depression. People's minds hatted in their gloomy forebodings. A stimulus in foreign trade developed, and we Degan to think of profits to the big and littler manufacturer. We figured returns at last on investments, and we thought of dividends and high prices for our securities. The prosper ity train was back on the track. We watched the stock market. It attract ed, and new business enterprises sprang into being. Thus we passed through nn unbro ken and logical chain of influence that made for the fullest returns of pros perity. Already we have reached the hitfh tide of a 1 ,000,000,000 trade bal ance. So, you see, wo get prosperity by reversing tho process by which we got depression. One good thiug to remember is that prosperity, going or returning, does not depend on our exports. Our exports amount to about 2 per cent of our busi ness, and if it ran up to S per cent it would not revolutionize business here. We lost prosperity when we stopped trading among ourselves, and wo stop ped trading when we began to soak away savings in the kitchen stove. Kvery time a period of national pessi mism sets in we lose 40 per cent of our business. Electrical Prosperity Week was the logic, of a prompt return of business. It will do more to restore prosperity to a firm aud permanent basis ill America than millions of dollars gain ed in exports and even a doubling of tho trade exports we now enjoy. That is why the Week has ''caught on" everywhere and why nil tho other in dustries ure working hand iu hand with the electrical industry to make the campaign the greatest trade resto ration celebration in America's indus trial history.

Self govern- mcnt, without complete independence for some time, is the administration's Philippine policy, according to tho con struction generally placed today uul Secretary of War Garrison's statement criticising ix-President Tutt s recent utterances on the island policy. Garrison declared' tho administra tion's "independence" hill is misnamed; and provides merely for all possible1 local self government in tho islands. Statements from Taft and others ho, termed "mendacious in character and I misehexiuus in intent." He suggested) thut republicans are merely trying to, make campaign, capital of tho isluiul! situation. His attack on Taft was aroused bv an anti-administration article in an Oakland, California, paper recently j bearing on the Philippines, biter cir culated with an introduction by Tnf as a pamphlet. Garrison charged that the writer of the original article also sought to find where bo could place articles favorable to the administration. Taft admitted this claim tended to reflect on the credibility of tho writer. He maintained that his own criticisms of the island policy were based on fact, such as the 'administration's 'sardonic pleasure" in turning out of office men capable of handling affairs aud substituting untrained men. De moralization, he claimed had resulted therefrom. Selecting Material From Oregon Exhibits (Capital Journal Special Service.) Oregon Uuildiug, P. P. I. Nov. 30. E.
