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

I beg to Bay that I have been a con

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

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.

LAURA HOPE CREWS
rhis Secretary of War Garri
son Says Is the Policy In
the Philippines
Washington, Nov. 30. 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. T. .lucid is here making a choico of
the many materials in the soveral Ore
gon exhibits for the permanent state
exhibit provided for by the last legis
lature. The exact detail of tho pro
posed exhibit have not yet been work
ed out, but certain it is that tho best
of the excellent showings hero will go
far toward making an effective exhib
it to show homeHeekers when they coino
to the stato's metropolis. Various of
the railroads want some of the grains
and grasses for permanent eastern ex
hibits. The well known DoMoss family, who
hail from Tho Dalles, hnvo been sing
ing and playing nt tho Oregon building
each afternoon for a week. They are
now euroute to Los Angeles and will
continue their concert tour until the
good old summer time. Tho DeXtosscs
have been sinning throughout tho na
tion nnd Europe since 1H50.
A social event nt the building father
ed by (limniissioner C. J. Ilawlcy wus
a reception and ball open to every Ore
irnnian who would register for a card.
While this w s somewhat "common"
for many of the grand dames of the
exposition, it fitted in with Mr. Haw
ley's idea of the eternal fitness of
things when Oregon money is being
spent for entertainment. The Oregon
Society of California assisted the Haw
leys and Hostess Gray and tho occas
ion proved a delightful social success.
Thannsgiving at the Oregon building
brought the first closing of tho build
