If a man will only stay dead long enough without the people forgetting him, he is pretty apt to be awarded the place in history he deserves. Rep- resentative Gillett, of Massachusetts, a man of fine character and great use- fulness, remarked in the house of rep- resentatives the other day: “One hour of Cleveland or Roosevelt would have ended this trouble,” referring to the threatened strike on the railroads of the country. Colonel Roosevelt we have with us and we trust for a considerable time, but Mr. Cleveland has been dead a good many years. long enough to be spoken of in this extremely kind man- ner. But that was not the fact whén he occupied the office of president. No man ever occupied that office who got severer treatment. Fe was not only constantly alluded to as “the stuffed prophet,” hut scandalous stories were told of his private life. His preten- tions of industry were ridiculed, his ponderous langunage scoffed at and the quality cf his courage scorned. It is the fashion in this day and generation to single him out as one of the few great presidents, who knew how to steer the ship of state through the wildest storm. Tt should have been d of him then, for he was then ex- actly the man who is being eulogized {today. A man of sterling integrity jand spiritual vision, it was inevitable that he should finally be awarded the place in history to which many knew he was entitled and would get, while others should lose a place in history to which they were never entitled and ought not to have enjoved, even tem- porarily. The outrageous manner in which the greatest of all Americans, Abra- ham Linceln, was treated is still fresh |in the memory of older citizens. He was “a baboon” in the estimation of many, a man of no vision whatever, an ignorant lout and enemy of ‘his country. Men with retentive mem- ories do not fail to dwell appreciativa Iy upon the treatment great men have | received iIn their day of brief author- | ity and to listen with misgivings when the great men of the present day are denounced in a like manner.

(New York Commercial). No better proof of the prosperity of the whole country can be given than the absence of talk about the empty dinner pail. The only work- | people out of employment are those | on strike and even the garment work- ers of New York could fina plenty to ‘ do if they would turn to something else or go elsewhere.

Never before in living memory has the full dinner pall falled to materialize as a campaign cry. The pail is full to overflowing this year | and is likely to remain so. | It is probable that prices of mer»‘ chandise will decline when peace is restored in Iurope, but lower prices | will stimulate consumption and lower | the cost of living.

In- flated prices do not help domestic business any more than do unprofit- | able prices. Fair prices are best for all though business men naturally and | properly sell in the best market.

The future will look brighter the dav after the Novem- | ber elections no matter which side wins. After the war is over we will have two or three yvears of good trade in peace products including live stocks, cotton and other agricultural products while the restoration of Eu- rope is in progress.
