Carl Thomas, Vice Pres. Thomas, Secretary dustry brings to light the fart that conditions are much better than some would have us believe. Con versations with several prominent factors confirm our previously ex pressed belief that the outlook is brighter than at any time in the re- rent past, and that business Is well past the low point, with Indications KESOKTINfS TO FAIXtFfCATlON Not satisfied with misrepresenta tion, exaggeration and Insinuation, the, desperate Republicans are now resorting to prevarication. Congress man Humphrey, of Washington, one of the most vociferous of the calam ity howlers and subsidy shouters, said In a speech in the House in an effort to create business depression: "Last April the balance of trade that the Improvement shown Is to be KKainBt UB wa8 810,000.000. the first permanent and of a steady growth.

The Gorman-Wilson tariff went off the statute books In 1897, and no yearly balance of trade ran against the country under it.

It is an easy matter for the head of a family to desert his home and leave his wife and children dependent upon their friends or public charity. So long as such deserters do not bring them selves back within the Jurisdiction of the local courts it is almost im possible to bring them to book. With the pressure of high cost of living, and more especially the coBt of high living, home desertion has become a serious epidemic. In 1913 thousands of husbands ran away and it cost the public and private organ izations of New York city nearly $1,- 000,000 taking care of the deserted wives and children. For reasons that are apparent on second thought. a great percentage of these recreant men were in good standing in bust ness circles. So long as they can es cape the notoriety of court proceed ings they seemingly do not care It is to give them notoriety that the court of domestic relations In tends to inaugurate an advertising bureau for missing husbands and fathers.
