WHO PEODUCES WEALTH? ;. , The people of Belgium are often said not to be, V solf-supporting, since they Uo not produce from ' t their own acres more than a fraction of the food they consume. Yet up to the time when the Ger mans invaded the kingdom they lived in much com fort', consuming as much fopd as most people. As a matter of fact, they wore just as truly self supporting as are the farmers of America. They wero engaged in taking coal and iron and other; minerals from the earth, and producing from them and from (he products of the farms and fordsts ar ticles just as essential to civilized life as food. They are now reduced to poverty merely because they are not allowed to work and dispose of the fruits of their labors. "We are sending them food in (lie name of charity instead of in the way vi trade, because the Belgians, instead of being productively employed making things we need, are under the blight prophesied against another people by Isaiah when he said : "For it shall be that as wandering birds, as a scat tering nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Anion." In this scattered nest, before the German tempest struck it, work went on in which we as Americans were being served in a thousand productive ways. The tempest struck, and the Belgians ceased to jvork for us and with us. This shows the intimate way in which all of us are interested in the prosperity of each of us. This is a war, not of the nations actually engaged in it, but against every producer in the world. Farm f? - and ivircsHle. 'v. - if -' &&- B - rr? f ' PROFESSOR TAFT.

And who shall say that he is not ' exerting any influence that is worth any man's ef forts? He has been so wholly sane, so just and tol erant and broad-minded in all his attitudes, even toward his own-defeat, or rather slaughter, at the hands of politicians, that he has won back to him self the confidence and even love of all the people, lie is radiating national geniality and common sense. He is the one highest expression of what is best in a great American manhood. When the poli ticians began to quarrel ho seemed almost helpless, for vicious strife and contention is not to his na ture, but now he stands serene, and high and clear and conspicuous in the American limelight, and there is none to say that he does not stand the beating of the light. lie is a great American citi zen, an asset in citizenship, scholarship and lucid thinking and speaking free from .all rancorousness. Being such, it is a safe guess that they would not Being such, it is a safe guess that he would not chance or every one desired him so to do. Cedar Rapids (la.)

In so doing he wrote a message which the "wots" have been usin.g ever since as a campaign document. Now Mr. Patter son is in the employ of the Anti-Saloon Leaguo of America, and is making speeches in favor of na tional prohibition. He once said that prohibition was fundamentally wrori. Now he declares that prohibition is all right and that Patterson was all wrong when he wrote that message. But the "wets" are not letting him forget it. Recently ho has made a number of speeches in Kentucky and in almost every instance somebod' has drawn his nti prohibition message on him Frankfort Stato Journal. It now costs' 50 conts raoro to got it did last week. Why? Because tho now war revenue lncasuro provides for a 50-ceit'tax on ca,oh marriage license issued by tho Coutity Cleric and tho license is no good unless it is in there. People will get married and tho framers f tho act took that into consideration when they passed the bill ; they know it would bring revenue. ( There are so many things that ij-cquiro tho war revenue stamps on them thflt one i&att hardlylfeeTp up with the matter, About tho oihy thingS. that escape are fat'men and old maiis. And "every body loves a fat man," and we all know there arc really no old maids. Stamps for this, stamps for tjiat, stamps for everything; "but it was necessary. Tho law will raise an enormous amount of revenue for the gov ernment to supplant that formerily supplied by. the import duties. There is ono consolation, the act will not likely be in force more than a year at the least. Jackson -(Ky;.). .Thn.cs SORRY TO HEAR THIS ABOUT CHAMP. When Speaker Champ Clark was trying to ad dress the Detroit Board of Cothmorce after he had been invited by the secretary ito leave, the lights were turned off in an effort to! suppress him. It is rep6rted that the Speaker was wabbly, that his gestures Were flabby and his tijngue lame and lispy. Afterward the secretary apologized to what re- f mained of the audience, and told them their money would be refunded.

Tho Enaulror has" rop6atodly pointed out that tho Increased prosperity of tho agricultural districts of tho..' United States meant such an onormbus growth fn the rlirchnsing power of tho inhab itants of thoso districts that it would tell heavily in tho onlargcd demands for tho outputs of tho establishments of tho industrial districts. The manufacturers and tho mer chants of this country are now begin ning to appreciates tho valuo to them of this combined domestic and foreign dumnnd for tho merchandiso and com modies held in tho United States, and iu nearly every portion pf tho country tho unemployed labor is being rapld Ij reduced In numbers. With every month that war lasts the demand for our farm products, for the outputs, of our nulls and shops and factories, for tho stockB of merchan diso on hand, will grow more insistont, with a tendency to hlghor prices. Immigration to this country for tho timo being is well nigh ondod, as tho eutrnl countries of Europe, llko Hol land, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Spain, have- fow surplus peoplo, while every othor country iu Europe is either engaged iu tho war or preparing for bvontualities, so keeping Its malo pop ulation at homo for military sorvico. It is said that even in Great Brit ain nnd Ireland conscription is very likely in tho near future, nnd .that menus that no moro immigration to Pity important extenl will bo received from theso islands until after decla ration of peace. If business in tho United States, Keeps moving forward for tho nexi CO days like- it has in tho past 00 days, ovory man who wants to work will find employment waiting for him. Tho inauguration of tho new fisenl rtystem of our country is loosening up currency supplies, and is certain to pro duce tho utmost activity iu commercial, industrial and real cstnto and construc tion affairs throughout tho United States. Safe and sound enterprises in tho hands of compctont men can how be financed to nn extent that will carry them forward to successful results. Not since the United States was or ganized has thero been such financial support ivailablo to legitimate busi ncss in every sound lino of extension, development nnd expansion of trade. As tho operations of tho Federal ro serVo currency system are moro fully understood by our business mon, thoy will perceivo with greater clearness the far-reaching and beneficial character of its Jegalizcd work and tho advan tages and facilities it offers to them.
