Today All Over, Nearly. 11 to 1 at the Last. Business Is Cheerful. Owe Church $3,000,000. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. The day before election found business men cheerful. Govern ment bonds were high, the Liberty .114 per cent, that pay no income tax, established a high record. Chicago is having a little private stoA boom of its own. The great mail order houses announce the biggest business and greatest pros perity for years. Several of the most important Chicago stocks es tablish new high records. When farmers have money it pours into Chicago, and the farm ers have it now. Cornelius Cole, who knew Abra ham Lincoln well, died yesterday in Los Angeles, aged 102. He prac ticed law when past 100. Newspapers always mention the death of a man that begins his sec ond century. The time is coming when to die younger than 100 will be the exception. Los Angeles says, “If you want to live till 102, come here.” Two of New York City’s Fifth avenue churches will unite and build for $3,000,000 one tine church in Fifth avenue. One cler gyman will be rector, the other will be rector “emeritus.” It is inter esting to see the American combi nation and “merger” idea spread ing even to the churches. The new church, to be opposite the Carnegie residence on Fifth avenue, will doubtless supply to many, pleasant transportation from a delightful and fashionable spot on earth to an infinitely delightful spot above. North and South Carolina should huild a big monument to Jamea B. Duke one of these days. A map of those states, with little round blue spots, each indicating a power sta tion, shows as many of the little spots as there are fliea on a crowd ed flypaper. Each spot indicates power sufficient to run 10,000 spin dles. Within two years, it is said, 200, 000 additional horsepower will be developed by Mr. Duke and put to work grinding out goods and em ploying labor. The mistake of a tower min aent a coal car into a crowded trolley car, slicing off one end of it, killing 10. The towerman admitted that he had been drinking, and a flask of moonshine whisky hacked his state ment. The towerman will be punished, and ought to be. What about the man that sold him the whisky? In that case the bootlegger did not merely violate the prohibition law. He committed murder. Wouldn’t it be worth while to do something about that? A cablegram tells of 3,000 crows near Nevers in France chasing an eagle into a French chateau, where it was killed by the keepers of the place. That should interest Uncle Sam. The eagle is his bird. And the day is coming when eagles and crows are not the only fighters in the air. The sight of a noble eagle pur sued by 3,000 miserable crows, and finally killed, isn’t pleasant. There might be more unpleasant sights, in this country, if we had war and our enemies east or west began releasing their flying ma chines to deal with the American eagle here. (OoByrl*ht, !»!4.)
