There Is no reason to fear what we terra "hard times" as a result of the war. Surely there is no danger of such a condition within the next Ave years If the American people are prudent and resourceful. They have not been prudent always, but they never lacked resourcefulness. In the last few years, they have shown a prudence greater than they were supposed to possess. Expansion, Jiot Contraction. ' America's present problem Is not ene of preparing for contraction In , business, but very great expansion In ' business. No nation ever had such opnTtunltv as this one haa today. . Let us take a look at America. v Here in our 48 states we have more than 100,000,000 people all, practi cally considered, speaking one lan guage, all animated by the same ideals and purposes, all within reach of the literature put o.ut by our great national publications, all easy to sup ply through our transportation sys tems of railroad, trolley,-and atitomo blle. ' Nowhere In the world is there so big a market for the manufactur er and supplier to reach so quickly and so easily. Our domestic market- has been so big and our growth has been so rapid that heretofore we have given atten tion", to the foreign market only in periods of local depression. So soon as those passed we have neglected the foreign market and been satisfied with our domestic trade. Now. whether we want 'to or not, we must supply the world. Nowhere on earth Is. there so much raw ma terial so easily obtained as here. Our wealth In Iron ore, in copper and other metalllcs deposits Is eollossal No other nation has so much arable land. No other nation haa such manufactur ing facilities. No other nation has constipation. I would (From a letter to Dr. Mrs. Will H.

Days of Tribute Gone. Now, for the first time in history, we are becoming, possessed of a mer cantile marine of a sice commensurate with our world position.

In such foreign, trade as we de velop hereafter we will not have to pay tribute to others for carrying -our goods, for marketing our products or j for furnishing financial- accommoda tions for our business. Heretofore the foreigner has been t doubtful about the Airerican. He has considered him an upstart, a wonder ' fully successful person but bumptious and not to be trusted. He has not j been eager to trade' with the Amer j lean, for the Americans haa been un 1 willing to conform to the foreigner's business forms or caprices. He has considered the American arrogant and to a large degree money 'mad. The war has changed the foreigner's view, . , - . He has seen America pour out its wealth of men and money on the altar t of human liberty.

Now -that the biennial elec tions are over It Is believed the case against LaFollette , will be speedily dropped. The opinion prevails that no action will be taken and no further Inquiry made. ; . . LaFollette now holds the center of the statre, with a bright spotlight on him. He Is essential alike to the. re publicans and democrats after March I.
