THE HARD TIMES ARE OVER.

ALMOST OX EVERY HAND are evidences of a genuine business revival. The steel industries are opening up, railroads are enjoying better business. Taft's letter of acceptance has been received with genuine satisfaction in all parts of the country. Whatever of shadows that hung over the property of the country are disappearing. The days of the "calamity howler" are being numbered With the prospects for a good crop and excellent prices, let us get ready to meet and enjoy the coming of good times. Merchants who have been hanging back in doubt and uncertainty should no longer hesitate. Get ready for the business that is almost at your doors. Have you some prosperity in business? Cultivate it, hold on to it, be prepared to enjoy the fruits of your patience and whatever sacrifices you may have made the Autumn days will usher in good times, work for all and the contentment of the people. Look not gloomily backward but forward to the rising sun that ushers in the dawning day of plenty. INSIST ON GOOD SUBURBAN SERVICE.

THE THIRTY-THIRD WARD has prepared its bill of particulars of concessions wanted from the Illinois Central road. The South Chicago Business Men's association have appointed a committee to urge the necessary improvements in the local suburban serviceChief among them is a waiting room at Eighty-seventh street, lights and protection along the right of way, improvements at the South Chicago station, gates and gatesmen at the various crossings and a ten cent fare to and from South Chicago to their clown town stations. The Cheltenham Improvement association have followed the footsteps of the other clubs and have appointed a committee to act in conjunction with each other. With the help of the alderman from the two wards, many, if not all of the concessions will be secured. The temporary permit for the Kensington & Eastern road will not be granted except upon written request of a majority of the aldermen from the Eighth and Thirty-third wards. It seems that this is the first time, this section has ever had good reasons to expect real consideration from the Illinois Central road. It will be well to take advantage of this condition; not an unfair advantage, but to demand and insist upon necessary and proper protection to life and safety and the improvement of all those features that are necessary to give this section a suburban service that will stand second to none in the city and as low a rate as is reasonable and right to expect. SIGNS OF A DULL CAMPAIGN.

THERE IS XO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT that the present presidential campaign is going to be a very lively one. The week has not been rich in political developments. The republicans ore satisfying themselves with Taft's letter of acceptance but there is quietude in the democratic camp- There are no symptoms that we are to have a noisy campaign. There is not the alignment that there was in lOftO or even 1904. One editor says: "There is, however, nowhere any symptom that we are to have a humming campaign. This is accounted for partly by the lack of controversial issues between the parties, partly by the preoccupation of the country with efforts to fan the flame of rekindling business. The campaign of 1898 was enlivened by one of the liveliest issues ever put before the people, and business was at a standstill. In 1900 Bryan was the only important issue, and trade was so good that politics failed to engross public attention. The present campaign wears a somewhat similar aspect in respect to the questions before

the people, and they are very much taken up with their own personal affairsTrotraction through the summer and fall of the outright depression of the spring would probably have been propitious for Mr. Bryan, since any promise of a face-about would have seemed acceptable to the thoughtless idle. The change for the better that is beginning to make itself, coming under the administration which had to bear the brunt of the panic, deprives the democrats of a weapon borrowed from their enemy's arsenal, and tends to decrease general eager interest in the campaign. "There is time yet, however, for unexpected developments which may cause a commotion, and we are still too far away from normal business conditions to warrant public rejoicing over a complete turn of the tide. Sufficient for the day is it to notice that the politicians have given us precious little to think about thus far in the campaign."

A WOMAN'S WAIL. "I am a victim of consumption, so my physicians say, induced by drink aud drugs. I am abandoned of my friends and living on the charity of a great city. I am alone. I am In the depths of despair. " 'Late! So late! But we can enter still?' " 'Too late too late! Ye cannot enter now!' "How the despairing wail rings In my ears! My young life is spent. All my hopes are withered. I cannot turn back. It is too late too late!" The cry of ngony is not taken from a novel. It is a chapter from real life, the wail of a once famous actress. There Is in it a fearful warning. And you do not need to read this poor little sermonet to find it. HoweverIt taay not be out of the way to emphasize this warning to the woman or girl who is just beginning to take an occasional drink because she thinks she needs it or because she is tired or blue or discouraged or who takes a drink just for "fun" or because ber "set" does this thing. I wish this editorial might lead you to read again the wall of the poor woman and burn into your soul the consciousness of the irremedial evil of the use of drug potions and drink stimulants Because students of social conditions say the drink custom and the drug habit among women are alarmingly on the Increase. It is not strange that a woman should contract an appetite for stimulants. The habit is not more abnormal than the male habit. Especially are those women tempted who keep late hours and indulge In social dissipations. But they are not more tempted than the poor woman drudge whose vitality is spent in ceaseless toil or because of poverty or of ignorance or of abuse. Nevertheless The curse is the same whether upon man or woman, "for at the last it biteth like a serpent and stlngeth like an adder." It is also true that the effect of liquor or drugs habitually used is worse in its effects upon woman. Her finer sensibilities are the more easily ravaged, the fine edge of her keener sense of delicacy the more easily blunted. If she Is rich, she may hide her growing coarseness in a sheltered home or disease may take her to a premature end. If she is poor, humiliation may drive her to suicide or poverty may lead her to something worse. There is an awful warning in that despairing cry, "Too late too late!'

of Europe. In 1S96 he was married to Princess Maud, third daughter of King Edward VII. of Great Britain. There was considerable opposition to the marriage, as Maud was the daughter of the future king of England and Charles was only a Danish prince. At that time no one dreamed of the brilliant future in store for Prince Charles. After the marriage Prince Charles was well received in England. Ills father-in-law became proud of him and often employed him in delicate and important missions. AVhen Norway severed her connection with Sweden and decided to have a king of her own the name of Prince Charles was the only one seriously considered in connection with the throne. In 1905 Prince Charles and Princess Maud were crowned at Trondhjem under the titles of King Haakon VII. and Queen Maud. The royal couple ltave one child, little Prince Olaf, now in his sixth year.
