TIMES BETTER:The Cleveland Plain-Dealer says: “The New York Tinies Monday used seventeen columns of closely-set type rs report business conditions throughout the country. It went to the sources of the information desired, interviewed bankers, manufacturers and merchants by scores and covered the situation in each of the important branches of industry. The result is an optimistic survey pleasing to every friend of prosperity. “As the Times itself summarizes its voluminous reports, ‘there is apparent, running through the entire mass of reports, a feeling of confidence in the immediate future. This is not the least perfunctory optimism that is easily tapped, but rings true and is supported by conditions cited in the replies. , “Reports like these —and they are appearing every day—are the despair of partisans who had hoped to effet a political overturn by the hard-times cry. It will not work. Facts are against them.” The play ground fund has not grow i ( any this week and it will not unless I some of our enterprising citizens let loose of some of their change. If this was started we are sure the fund I would soon reach a sufficient size.

Look over our columns each day and you will find many inducements which if taken advantage ot will huvh you money and a “penny saved is a penny earned.” Marshall Schmidt has been removed and Mark Storen put in his place and the republican and bull moose papers are making more fuss over this one incident than was made over all the twenty years. it evidently makes some difference whose bull is being gored. Talking about the times, we notice from the July issue ot The Valve World, a magazine published in the Interests of the iron and steel workers, that the Brier Hill Steel company has just opened a new open-hearth steel plant at Youngstown, Ohio, making' four plants there with a capacity of eleven thousand tons per day and it makes one wonder what they want with more big plants if the business has all gone to the dogs. The truth Is that the future for the steel and iron ■ industries is brighter now than it has i been for years. Huerta has given up and there are signs of peace in Mexico, big business admits that the indication for the best times in history were never better, general conditions are splendid, the crops are big, the prices are right and every thing points to an era of prosperity never equaled. President Wilson sits calmly at Washington and guides the ship of state with a steady hand The democrats are proving their abil Ry to conduct the affairs of state and they have improved the conditions for the men of all classes.
