THURSDAY, NOVEMBER ?,v 1913. RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT.; ' The voters of the United States elected Woodrow Wilson President be- causejthey wanted a change, a radical change. The Nation has become con vinced that Republican policies and principles, especially with reference to. the high protective tariff and the trust and currency: questions, have led to the centralization ,.- of wealth , and the high cost of living. The multi-millionaire, class controlling the trusts and monopolies of the country pro ducing tariff-protected goods has mul tiplied its wealth .from the pockets of the consumers of the country -who have been forced to pay prices un warranted by, the values, but arbitra rily fixed to return the greatest gains to the monopolists. The people had awakened to the causes and they re alized that they had the power to change 'things. The- election of Tuesday 'was not won during the last few weeks of the campaign. It had been in the pro cess of winning for two years or more. The Democratic victory was indicat ed when a majority was secured in the House of Representatives two years " ago and even before that the leaven -was working, stimulated by the failure of President Taft and a, Republican Congress' to live up to the promises upon which they were re turned -to power. Meanwhile the newspapers of the country, Democrat ic, independent and some Republican, and several of the great . magazines published articles and editorials ana- lyzing the situation, showing the causes cf the high cost of living and explaining how the Republican tar iff, our antequated currency system kept in vogue by the Republicans, the Republican party's attitude " towards trusts7 and its other policies led . logi cally to the 'piling up of wealth by a ' comparatively few men already weal they beyond the dreams of Croesus while the poof er classes of the coun try found it increasingly difficult ' to make" ends-meet. : ; .-... - There is to be a readjustment. The present, artificial condition will end. And yet "big business' is not making any fuss about ' it. In fact "big busi-nessT-has already begun to adjust it self tot meet ; the .changed conditions,' It is accepting the inevitable with ap parent cheerfulness and with good grace. .' There will be no big failures and shut-down factories. The Individ uals and corporations who have been enriching themselves with illegitimat gains will In the .future simply con tent themselves with reasonable pro fits such as will be allowed under the new -tariff , and other ' policies of a, Democratic administration. f ; There is no fear of any hasty or ill advised, action by 'the In-coming Democratic administration. President Wilson has at all times shown poise and deliberate purpose. Once again in power; Democratic leaders of i less poise will be slow to take any action that does not promise good for" the country. In fact, the leaders in both the House and the Senate are all old and tried"; statesmen in whose hands the destinies of the country are entire ly safe. . . .v . .' - It now seems that the original Wll- f son man was not a man at all, but a woman, a .

THE GRANITE INDUSTRY. - According to the reports of ' the United Sttes Geological- Survey, the granite produced in the United States in 1911 had a value of $21,391,878, an increase of $849,911 over -1910. Four teen States produced granite valued at more .than $500,000, in the following order: . Vermont, Massachusetts, r Cali fornia, Maine, Wisconsin, Washington, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Geor gia, Maryland, Minnesota, North Car olina, Oregon and Connecticut. Of these States the first seven produced granite valued at more than 11,000,- 000, and six of the 14 Vermont, Mas sachusetts, California, Washington, Rhode Island and Connecticut show ed an-increase in the value of output. There was an increase of 1,029,704 paying blocks In 1911 over the output of 191Q, when the production, was 57,- 089,399, and an increase of $36,059 in value over the value of the 1910 out put, which was $2,823,772. A large proportion of the output of Wisconsin, the largest producer - of these blocks, goes to Chicago; the, blocks for New. Tork and other large cities' are sup plied by Massachusetts, Maine, New Tork, North 'Carolina, New 'Hamp shire, New Jersey, Georgia and other granite-quarrying States near the -Atlantic, seaboard, and . the L demand on the Pacific coast ja met by " the local quarries. - . ... The lpeOple of ' this country. sho&id expect large benefit from the comple tion of the Panama Canal - and espe cially the people of the agricultural sections. ,The' Toronto, 'Can., 'Globe says: "The wise policy for the people of the West is to 'expect great benefit from the canal and to begin at once the work of preparing to take advan tage of it. In any event as to the fu ture of the . new route the effort to make ready for its inauguration , will be its own reward; it will add to the permanent efficiency of western Can ada as a great Industrial communi ty.. It will certainly J promote the growing of wheat because that .lends itself very aptly to transportation, and even to trans-shipment. It will prob ably promote. ', mixed -, farming, . for wheat is by ho means the only farm product for which there is a steady European demand, v It . may possibly promote manufacturing also," because raw materials can be " inexpensively transported by means of, an unbroken sea route. - After years of discussion, Chicago is at last to acquire, the lake . front now, occupied by the Illinois ' Central Railroad. Certain concessions are to be made to the railroad company in return for, the surrender of its ripar ian" rights, but . when "the agreement is ratified, the way will be open for the development of -the, water. front for the use of the peopte, from Grant Park , to Jackson 'i Park. Plans have been made that include a boulevard tfrom one park to the' Other lagoons and fountains,, recreation piers . and the erection of the Field Columbian Museum on a site accessible, from all parts of the city. When these, im provements are ' made, the park sys tem of Chicago will be of unusual ex cellence. Few, if any - other cities have ' such a comprehensive plan for municipal improvement. , It is expected that when Presidents Wilson and a Democratic House. and Senate get busy that the high cost of living will be considerably reduced. However, with gasoline .up to "and about to pass the 20 cents mark, dia monds soaring and champagne show ing no inclination ;to flow-at less .than the present price, . the . cost of high living will probably remain at least as high as it is now. .... The people in Charlotte who v are feeling best and are best satisfied with themselves . are not those who voted for President Wilson and Senator Sim mons, but those' who have aided and are aiding the cause of ' the new T. W. C. A. building. From nothing does one get such sincere" satisfaction as from a good deed cheerfully done A scientist informs us that the num ber, of plants raised ..by man is over 3,000.

The United States Geological Survey announces the early publication of a report on mineral resources - of . the United States and the' advance sheets tell interestingly; something. iot v the process of preparing 4 sand for glass making. Sand is' the" main 'constituent of glass, constituting, from 52 to 65 per cent' of themass of the original mixture, or 'from 60 to 70 per cent; of the finished product after melting has driven off the carbon dioxide and oth er volatile materials.' .On the quality of the sand depends the' transparency, brilliancy and hardness of the glass. For the finest flint ware, such as that used for optical and cut glass ."water whiteness," .. absolute ; transparency, great brilliance and uniform - density are required, and only the purest sand can be employed, since slight impurl' ties,; especially small quantities ; of iron, tend to destroy these effects. For plate and window glass, ; which are commonly : pale, green, . absolute pu rity Is not so essential, but generally the sand should not carry, more than than 0.2 per cent of iron ;ovide. Green and amber glass for bottles, jars and rough': Structural - work can be made from sand relatively high -in impuri ties. An. excess of the chief impuri ties, iron, is usually avoided in the quarries by a careful selection of , the whitest sand, although the whitest sand is not invariably: the purest. Re peated washing tends - to remove ; the Iron. ' Magnetic separators also have been resorted to, especially when the iron' is present in the' form of mag netite. Clay materials are objection able because they .cloud ' the glass. Washing helps to remove them, sincej they occur usually in a very finely di vided -stite, .Magnesia, which is more apt to be introduced into glass mate rials through limestone than through sand, is troublesome because it ren ders the batch less fusible. In exam ining sand in ' order to ascertain its value for glass -making, inspection with a magnifying glass is the best preliminary- test. - The following points should be observed: The sand should be nearly white and of medium fineness (passing a 20 to 50 -mesh horizontal sieve); the grains should be uniform in., size, Jeven,-. and angular; less preferably they may be rounded. Less than .900 people of Charlotte contributed the first $40,000 of the $60,000 building fund of the T. W. C, A. These figures show that there are many i hundreds of people in the -city who are able but who have not yet availed themselves of the opportunity to help along a cause that Is as good as the best.
