BE READY FOR IT. There eeems to be a general opinion In business clrclea that business la "coming back" next spring. Nothing will d so much to make business "come back" as that opinion, declares the New York World. Shrewd business men who reach this conclusion will make haste to prepare. They will rebuild selling and producing organizations while unemployment is general and they can get the pick of the workers. Good business practice is to be ready in advance and ride the first breaker of the buying wave that must come Booner or later. If business is coming back next spring, now is the time to be getting ready for prosperity. The business man who anticipates the market is the one who profits by Improvement. Every preparation for expected business helps the business to materialize. Every worker employes to prepare for a buying market adds buying power to the existing market. If business is "coming back" now is the time to give It a boost and a good start.

work must be found for the idle or we are in for a winter of deprivation and suffering. Fortunately, by taking thought and acting promptly, work can be provided for those now Idle and many others who may be released from industry with the coming on of the cold season. Public works offer the way out. As everybody knows, many construction projects have been postponed from year to year for just seven years. Much public Improvement work, long held up. 6hould now move rapidly forward. A very great deal of this work can be done during the winter season. The directing ininds in the construction industry long ago learned how to cope successfully with cold weather. This is not only a way out of a bad situation but in the opinion of many it Is the only way out. The choice rests between action or inaction, between buildr ing or breadlines, between Vibltc works or public charity. Only a flabby and unjustifiable optimism will prevent public officials making the proper choice. Now is the time for some robvst and rational realism; if we dcn't take control of the situation In the only way available the coming winter will be one of suffering for the millions of unemployed and their dependents, the women and the children, the aged and the infirm. While It Is unpleasant to direct thought to what will surely happen if we go on waiting for providential, or congressional, relief, it is pleasant Indeed to point out that if public works projects be driven forward, now, useful work will be provided for those released from industry and great sums of money will be placed in general circulation, to the Immediate and substantial benefit of all lines of business.

THE GREAT JURY. The spokesman cf the railroad shopmen asserts that if a strike and tie-up of the railroads shall result from the reduction of wages, the responsibility will be on the railroad managers. Well, perhaps, but the responsibility will be fixed by the jury of public opinion, r.ot by either the employes cr employers. The public pays the freight, the dividends, the wages, and all other expenses of operation, and the public wants a tquare deal all aroiThd.

BUILDING OR BREADLINES? A certain amount of amiable optimism makes life pleasant at times, but It does not, of itself, sustain life. Just now a little wholesome and frank pessimism is In order. Two hard facts are staring us In the face: .The unemployed now number fully 6,000, 007J men and winter i3 coming on. says Municipal and County Engineering. It is all very commendable and very agreeable, up to a certain point (and also very easy) to rely on a favorable turn which will ease the Tiard circumstances of creature existence, but times come when It Is well to realize that few good things just happer? or are vouchsafed to humanity by a beneficent providence. The thoughtful are In agreement, now, that

LOSS OF THE ZR-2. How far we are from perfection of the airship none may say with assurance. Only a few days ago America read . this enthusiastic appraisal of the ZR-2 by an American officer who was to travel In the giant dirigible from England to our shore: "She is undoubtedly the last word in modern airship construction." But there was an explosion, the great balloon caught fire and dropped into the River Humber.

Thus ends for a time the dream of establishing

a new method of transit between the Old and the New Worlds. But this disaster will prcve but a temporary

setback to the success of an undertaking upon which

the determination of man is fixed. Whether or not the dirigible balloon ever shall be a practical commer

cial vehicle will be established by experience. That

a journey in cloudland across the Atlantic la feasible has been proven. The ZR-2 having traveled for 35 hours, there Is no reason to doubt that she could have

gone on for 100 but for that unforseen happening,

What was wrong will have to be searched out. Then

repetition of the error will be avoided. The, cost In human life of this failure Is deplor

able. Usually we regard it fortunate if accident over

takes an innovation before it is given over to the serious business for which it was designed. But In

this Instance disaster on the trial trip imperiled

twice as many lives as would have been lost had the

explosion occurred on the transAtlantlc trip. Instead

of only the American crew of 21 men. which was to pilot the airship westward, there were 3 0 British

aviators also in the craft.

All these were precious lives, for these men were

of the pioneer type so needful In the experimentations which lead to civilization's material advances

Thev were hercic adventurers in the cause of man, truly. Nor have they died In vain, for in consequence

of this disaster much better dirigibles 4ill have to

be built.
