PRESIDENT WILSON SUMS UP BUSINESS PROSPECT. “A Future Clear and Bright, With Promise of the Best Things.” Nov. 17—"A future ith promise of the Dbest things,” was the way President Wilson summer up his view of the business prospect tonight in a letcer to Secretary McAdoo of the traesury department congratulating him upon the opening of the new federal re- serve bank system. Mr. Wilson referred to the new tarift law, the new.currency law, the new trade commission law and the labor Ppro ions of the new anti-trust law as the means through which the soil has everywhere been -laid bare, out of which monopoly is slowly to be eradi- cated- He added that “undoubted.y the means by which credit has been set free is at the heart of all these things: is the key piece of the who'e structure.” The president’s letter, which was in reply to one from Secretary McAduo announcing the opening of the new reserve banks, said in part: “The tariff has been recast with a view to supporting the government rather than supporting the favored beneficiaries of the government. A system of banking and currency ls- sues has been created which puts credit within the reach of every man who can show a going business and the supesvision and control of the system is in the hands of a responsl- ble agency of the government fitself. A Washington, clear and bright trade tribuna! has been -created in which those who attempt unjust and oppressive practices in business can be brought to book. Labor has been made something else in the view of the law than a mere mercantile commod- ity, something human and linked with the privileges of life itself. The sofl has everywhere been laid bare out of which monopoly is slowly-to be eradi- cated. And undoubtedly the means by which credit has been set free in at the heart of all these things, is the ki piece of the whole structure. 'his is the more significant because of its opportuneness. It is brought to its final accomplishment just as it 1s most imperatively needed. The war which has involved the whole of the heart of Europe has made it necessary that the Upited States should mobiiize its resources in the most effective wax possible and make her credit and her usefulness good for the service of the whole world. 1t has created, too, special difficulties, peculiar situations, to be dealt with, like the great em- barrassment in. selling our immense cotton crops, which all the world needs, but against which, for the time being, the markets of the world are ia danger of being artificially shut. That situation the bankers of the country are meeting so0 far as possible in a businesslike fashion and in the spirit of the new tide which is opening be- fore us. The rallroads of the country are almost as much affected;, not so much because tl:eir business is curtail- ed as because their credit is called in "question by doubt as to_their earning capacity. There is no other interest so central to the business welfare of the country as this. No doubt in_ the'light of the new day, with its new under- standings, the problems of the rail- roads will 21so be met and dealt with in a spirit of candor and justice.” “For the future is clear and bright with promise of the best things. While there was .agitation and sus- pension and distrust and bitter -com- plaint of wrong groups and classes were at war with one another, did did not see that their interests were common and suffered only when sep- arated and brought into conflict. Fun- damental- wrongs once righted, as they may now easily and quickly be, all difficulties will clear away. We are all in the same boat, though apparent- Iy we had forgotten it. We know the port for which we are bound. We have, and shall have more and more as our new understanding ripens, a common discipline of patriotic pur- pose. We shall advance and advance together, with a pew spirit, a new enthuisasm, a new cordiality of spir- ited co-operation. It is an inspiring prospect. Our task is henceforth to work, not for any single interest, but for all the interests of the country as a united whole. “The future will be very different from the past, which we shall present- ly look back upon, I venture to say, as if upon a bad dream. The future will be different in action and differ- ent in spirit, a time of healing because a time of just dealing and co-opera- tion between men made evil because of the law in fact as well as In name. I am speaking of this because the new banking system seems to me to sym- bolize all of it. The opening of the federal reserve banks seems to'me to be the principal agency we have cre- ated for the emancipation we seek. The sixteenth of November 1914, will be notable as marking the time when We were best able to realize just what bad happened. ‘ “In the anxious times through which we have been passing, you have, my dear Mr. Secretary, ‘been ablé to do many noteworthy. things to strengthen and afcilitate the business operations of the country. Henceforth, vou.have & new instrument at hand which will render parts of your task easier. T heartily congratulate you wupon the part you yourself have played in'its conception and creation and upen the successful completion of the difficult work of organization. A new day has dawned for the beloved country whose lasting prosperity. and happiness we S0 earnestly desire. “Sincerely Yours” “WOODROW WILSON." EUROPE’S CRY FOR FOOD I8 ANSWERED BY UNITED STATES.

Tales from Over Seas. Stories of the raw but patriotic re- cruits are getting numerous in Ensg- land, and one is being told on the Liverpool cotton exchange just now with respect to a voung fellow who was stopped in the street for failing to salute an officer. The volunteer con- fessed his ignorance of the regulations, whereupon the officer explained the proper mode of procedure and they parted. The recruit had only gone a few steps when he was recalled by the officer, who inquired, “By the way, what company do you belong: to? “The Wigan Coal and Iron company, sir?” was the prompt response.
