A great prosperity envelops the United States. As never before in the history of the land, legitimate enter prise is assured of rich rewards. There are nobreadlines; there is nounemployment; the historic “dinner pail” is full to overflowing, and whether in field or factory, home or store, hope has been given strength and drive. It is only bad business that has been hurt; good business has been put upon the high road. They shame America and deny plain facts who talk of “war Rrofits.” The new prosperity is bedrocked in new capacities, lanufactured products have increased $9,400,000,000 in the four years of Woodrow Wilson. Less than one per cent of this vast total is contributed by munitions exports. During the two years of war, our foreign trade balance —the excess of exports over imports —has increased $2,130,000,000. The shining fact stands that our national wealth has increased $41,000,000,000 in three years. They say that this is “temporary prosperity;” we no more believe them than when they said prosperity was impossible. The answer is not to be found save in the financial, economic and indus - rial reforms effected by Woodrow Wilson.

Credit has been released, usury forbidden, ex ploitation checked and initiative encouraged. It is the creative genius of the American people that has been recovered. The leg chains have been struck from opportunity. Courage has had the bit taken from its mouth. The fear of panics is lifted. You know present conditions. Contrast them with past conditions. Do you want to go back to breadlines, unemployment, wholesale panics, government by greed? Do you want freedom to prosper as your energies merit, or shall prosperity be returned to the selfish control of the powerful few? The fight on Woodrow Wilson is the fight of those who owned the government before Woodrow Wilson gave It back Into your hands. It is the fight of great overlords of finance eager for a re turn to the feudal conditions that fed their lust for wealth and power. Fight back. Defend a prosperity that rreans health and hope and strength and happiness for you, your children and your children's chil dren. Send in your contribution so that victory may be given certainty.

In a number of cities, in cluding northern as well as southern towns, it is double that of the whites, and in a few places much more than double. For all registration cities in which the colored population formed ten per cent or more of the total col ored death rate in 1914 was 26,000 against 15,000 for whites. That contains about the whole story of a falling death rate, for un doubtedly the colored population of cities lives under less sanitary condi tions than the white.
