Since the national campaign closed we have heard less about the fear some prospects for our national fu ture. Predictions that the termination of the war is certain to leave us in the doldrums, if not to send us all to the poor house, have practically ceased. We will hear nothing of them until the next campaign, unless the republicans organize the lower house of congress and open battle for an other Dingley tariff act. financial jousnuis? uiv !Mn,,r un.-vj now to an optimism with respect to our future which they did nt for. like exploiting while the plea l'r special privilege was at its height. One of them candidly directs atten tion to the growing interest of Amer ican manufacturers in export trade. It ravs that our past failures to win an.l j , hold f reign markets, because of the An.crlv.an disinclination to meet for ci'"!! conditions, have taught an iff re live lesson. Published richt on Wall street this voic? of the financial thus foregoes its tacit aliegiar.ee to special privi lege long en uch to say that suitable Germany and Fiance, "from which i1 will be difficult to eleminate us.' It concedes that those eountrie: will make strenuous efforts to recovci their lost vantages, "but fortunately we have great advantages in enor mous plants, high efficiency, greater adaptability and. improved banking fa cilities " As a matter of fact, tin only new items in the foregoing list are improved banking facilities un the desire to conform our supplies tr the wishes of consumers in othei lands. Further it says, with charming car. dor tor a v all street oracle, that "it is unnecessary for us to have anj fear of so-called dumping, for Europe will have no surplus to waste in this fashion for many years, and costs c-i production there must remain high be cause of the scarcity of labor, high taxation and other handicaps, the leg acy of the war.'' Coming from Henry Clews, this i: indeed a cruel refutation of arguments advanced in the recent campaign uper which the people put the 'bad order' stamp.

Some of the hostility to the pro posal io hold a constitutional conven tion is cpuite sure to be abated by the warning given by Mr. J. B. Haynes of Omaha that such a conention may result in the injection of the single tax into our revenue system. This warning is specifically directed to the farmers, who, as large land owners, have habitually misunderstood the single tax, and as long as they continue to believe that this tax is upon land areas instead of land values, ruth an alarm may prove effective. But to many that kind of an alarm will not be an unwelcome one, for there has been a strong trend of senti ment toward the single tax in recent years. It is those who understand "t who believe in it and advocate it 'I hey believe that the day is nut far distant when the wisdom of it, and the economy of it. will appeal to the great majority. It is a system whereby the burden of taxes for revenue is placed, not up : v. lands, as ir too commonly misun dr r. teod, but upon land values, to the end that land that is employed is not tared for the benefit of land that is idde and unproductive.- It is a sys tem whereby the farmer who improve? his land is not fined for doing so. to the prof', ef the speculator who pots no improvement upon his land, v hilo others are by their own im ;: venients making hi.; land valuable.

Some of the nation., many of are avowed ex- tr.'.n 1!1 p'U'j:: .;.T.ts of the plinciple. In many states sentiment for the single tax ha been so strong that the issue has made its-If felt. Curiously, this senti rr eut has been strongest in states rt- ;nlzed as ultra conservative. Fonulai discontent with existing tax sv stems, grow ing out of their mani fest and always exasperating hihpui ties. seoms to afford some assuran-e that any suggestion of a change, made with the purpose of creating alarm, may bear fruit of a sort different from that anticipated.

That is on a par with many other re ligious epigrams and nonsensical say ings long since deceased. :o: A Standard Oil man in Chicago has been arrested for having three wives. If he is able to support three wives in these days of the high cost of liv ing, while many a man is not able to support even one, in decency, why, let him take on a few more. Sometimes when a man considers the pi ices w hich articles have now reached, he wonders why it is neces sary to mint any small coins at all. :o : Sympathy fo- the d-ad and wounded hi an automobile contest is so strong ..hat one idvips the harrowing details to rind out who won. :o: It i ; announced that a couple ke'pt tin ir marriage a secret for two years and finally broke down and confessed.

"All I have Faid about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is th? whole truth," says Mrs. Fannie Eads, of R. F. D. No. , this town. "I suffered with vromanly weakness, and rains in my back and limbs for two Ions years. I was so bad off, I could hardly wallc at alL My husband advised me to try Card'ui, the woman's tonic, and I con cluded to follow his advice. After tak ing Cardui according to directions, I now feel like a new woman, and can do all of my work. Before taking Cardui, I was a walk ing skeleton; now I weigh loO pounds. I recommend Cardui to everr suf fering woman, for I know what it did fo me. Mv dresser is never without a bottle of Cardui on it." There is no reason wny Cardui won't help vou, just as it has Mrs. Eads, as well as hundreds of thou sands of other women in the past o0 Vears.
