THE LITERARY DIGEST has asked hundreds of authorities covering the entire country comprising business leaders, professors of economics, and financial editors Of daily papers for their opinion as to the prospect of prosperity's return and when. The answers are published A in this week's issue, and people who can see nothing but gloom all around the horizon may revise their ideas hen they glance over the returns. Of course, it is very much like a survey of a bat-' tie-field, "but it is a battle-field where the forces are already "rearming and reforming, and are here and there beginning to advance again. Moreover, the American business army is one that has never known defeat, and the reason why is evident in the tone o unconquerable optimism that runs through even the casualtyreports. , ' - "Actual business recovery to begin about April 1st;" "expect gradual improvement from now forward ;" "expect business recovery gradual until Inauguration then rapid ;" "expect business ; recovery to begin probably in spring;" "recovery is already under way;" "conditions will improve from now on."

Mr. Bryan said that he had : not known that a definite date for the launching of the movement had been set, as announced by Judge Roper. People Must Rule. "My theory has ,been that democracy is a government in which the people rule, and a democratic party must recognize that authority conies up from the bottom and not down from the top," he said. . "Politicians try to use the party organizations and the voters for their own benefit, while the volcrs try to use the party organization lor the advancement of the public good. ' Must Become Active. y do not expect much of any surface movements, 'that is, nioye mrnts among the party officials!, Progress will come through' activ ity among the voters and they can not act until they have a chance to select committeemen. Prior to thii they can organize among Jhemselvcsj discuss questions, pick out spokes meu and gct ready for effective ac tioil when the time for the selection of the committeemen comes. This, I think, they should do, and this is what I hope to contribute to through my paper. . ' "If the proposed meetings of tha subcommittees or the full committees have no higher purpose than the boosting of some particular aspirant for office they will do little. If, how ever, the membership of the commit tee want to outline a constructive platform and call upon the rank and file for an expression of opinion much may be accomplished."
