When the world ts expecting America to know what she 1s about and lead straight forward, to have her stop to settle the intrignes of one party would be an absolute calamity.” “Quite apart from who 1s leading the hosts of Democracy, Just because the hosts of Democracy are faced toward the light and toward the progress upon which the future depends, at this time when the world needs some weight in the balance, some quiet, compelling force to keep the scales from tipping the beam, it is important that the United States should hold steady. It is particularly important that the United States jhould say: We will cast out of our politics every suspicion even thr: any foreign influence can control the results of ous/election.” “We are our own masters, wo are the captains of our own fate, and the policy of no other Government, the policy and interest of no other nation, Is to be injected into the determin tion of our own destiny action.” “Everything com is this great people to stand steady, to stand together, and, above all things else, to resist invita- tions to change.”—President Wilson at Shadow Lawn, —— ee ae Can even the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts find no better Republican campaign material than cock-and- bull stories from disgruntled ex-members of the Administra- tion? 6 ———$———— WHO'D CHANGE THIS OUTLOOK? ACTS and figures presented by The Evening World to show the F number of new factories and business etructures now in process of building or projected are of extraordinary interest. The enormous total of $4150,000,000 is going into building which means directly or indirectly more jobs for wage-earners in this country. Here in Greater New York business construction plans filed so for this year call for outlays aggregating $60,000,000.

Here is solid proof of permanent prosperity independent of war stimulus. ~ It means that thousands of Americans will be able to find work et good wages. It means that thousands of American families will be ~fn a position to live better and still put something in the savings bank. 3% means that thousands of American children can go better clothed © and maybe get the extra school terms that mean so much for their futures.

We venture to say the number of New York professional men who are at their desks before 10 o’clock in the morn- ing is not half what it was a generation ago, Yet nobody would assert that less work is done or that brain-workers are lazier than they used to be. The obvious explanation is, of course, that labor-saving devices, like dictaphones, typewriters, index systems, etc., enable the modern business or professional man to use the time his father spent pushing ® pen or studying ledgers in concentrated, rapid-fire attacks upon the day's work which dfspose of it in half the time.
