Mi'vcti better than th?* prosperity we have enjoyed ? luring thi" thive jrars of war abroad provided, ?>f course. thnt our <-oun t.\ is not ln\ adcd aiul lu\ msUhi Is iiu likely. Within a few hours after CongresM authorized tin- declaration of war, plans wen* under way to appropriate live hiilion dollars, as an initial war ^appropriation. < >f this, about three I >i I lion will he turned over to our Al lies and tile other two hiilion will be s|H?nt for National defense. And thl.s menus something more than buy i iik Cannon and guns and cartridges. It means millions of dollars in pay for the soldiers. it also means the pur chase by the < ?o\ eminent of every conceivable kind of merchandise re i|iiired by (lie men in the field ami camp, men ami women in the hos pitals. in the Navy Yards, detention camps, and aboard the ships. It means medicine and canned j>ork and beans and motor cars and medals of honor ami hundreds of other things as well as soldier clothes and muni tions. And all these things will lie bought fronl the American i>eoplc? from you and me and the rest of us, ai*cordlng to our ability to deliver the goods. And a large part of the three billion dollars that go to the Allies will also bo s|h*nt here for supplies for them. The South, will Ik? mar velously prosperous immediately? just watch it. So, the declaration of war itself re leases for circulation among the j>eo ple an abnormally large amount of money, and practically assures to ev ery man, woman and child that can work, a liliernl remuneration for the fruits of their labor. Because every body will work now ami will have to make production keep up the demand. If any proof were needed in sup port of the argument that war with < ierinany w ill improve business condi tions, it could Im? found almost at our own door?in Canada. The present situation in Canada is remarkable. In spite of the war. in spite of the with drawal of -l< H?.(H?? men from jkmicc ful industries, the country was never so prosiMTous Six hundred factories are engaged in making munitions. There is a ready market for every thing that the farmer can grow, for all the lumbermen can produce, for all the fisherman can draw out of the sea. As the chairman of the Hoard of Munitions told tin* Ottawa Canadian Clgb, the country is "almost drunk*' with prosperity. v< When the war started in P.U4 there was enough money in the savings hanks in Canada to show a credit, if equally divided. ?>f to each Ca nadian Now. after three years of war, there is enough money in the ? ami'li.i i savings banks to show a < red it >'f .<bJ.'Jo to citch Canadian. Canada has only eight milliou jiopu 1 n:ion. and notwithstanding the fact that t?m?imm? .?f her men arc actually at war. tin- Canadian p??ople have 'added one hundred million dollars to their hank accounts in 1P1.">. and over two hundred million in besides subscribing over two hundred million dollars to war loans, and extending ? redit to Ureal Britain to the extent of two burnln^l and fifty million more. If rhi:? may he said of a country with only eight million souls, and at war. what hi" the possibilities in this Re public with its enormous wealth ami |N>u?'r and over one hundred million people? Then, too?l?H?k at the now pro>i?erous condition of the great working class of Kngland as against their former unemployment. strikes and poverty. The call to arms i< not only being answered by the soldier boy wh -boulders his gun. It is also being answered by the vast aruiy eotni>osed of millions <>f farmers and farmers' lads who will plant inoiv intensively and extinsively than American form ers have ever planted before. Thou sands of acres of farm and garden that never felt the tickle of the plow or the spade will be made to produce its <|Uota of fresh food for the soldiers and for you and me to eat "Produc tion" is the great National motto now. Here in America?not in any one sec tion, but all over the Cnlled States? the |>eople are working to produce this year as they have never ? dreamed of producing before. Hut some doubting Thomas will ask: How can these things Ih- done when our men are at the front, or lighting? Just stop and think. We are a Nation of over one hundred mil lion. In the presidential election in lOlJ there were nearly fifteen million votes east. .Many men did not vote. Approximately there are, i*erhnps from eighteen to twenty million males, nineteen years of age and over in the country. Supjiose we take one or two million out of our domestic and in dustrial life and put them to lighting, what would be the effect? Such a >tep uoimi hardly have any tangible effect ii|H.n ottr productivity when all the ..ther millions are keyed up to e\:r.t effort. We could semi two mil lion \- tii.g men to war and never miss 'hen. -commercially, of course.

Manning for the pnr|H>se of Is'ing restored to citizen ship. Ilolleman was serving a sen tence of two years in the State i>eni tentiary, lm|H>sed by Judge llaync F. ICice, on February i>. 11>17. following Moileman's plea of guilty in the Court of (?enerul Sessions of Anderson county to the charge of breach of trust with fraudulent intent. J Judge ltice has said: "1 do not hew- j itate to say that I am sure Mr. Ilolle man had proved himself a useful aud | excellent citizen until the time of his j unfortunate breach, and that if par-j doijed he will again prove himself to I be ii useful and excellent citizen. I do not wish to be understood as rec- ; ? Mumeiuling pardon, but in 110 sense do I 1 op|h?se it." ' | Kurtz P. Smith, solicitor of the Tenth I eircuit who was present at the time j of Mr. llollcman's plea of guilty, has | said that "he heartily concurs in the! Petition for his pardon." More than f>,000 citizens of Anderson ! and lMckcns counties, and some from adjoining counties, signed the petltiyus j urging the (iovernor to grant a full pardon. About eight years ago Ilolleman] used the funds ?>f the Hank of An- i ilerson, of which he was cashier, for speculative jnirposes, intending, ac cording to hi.s statement, to replace the money. The amount grew too large and he lied, explaining the matter to , the president of the bank in a let- ' tcr. Since that time he has Ihhmi a j fugitive from justice and has replaced part of the funds. During his exile, says Mr. Ilolleman in his signed state ment to the (iovernor. "My conscience' scourged me like the lash of scorpions and 1 knew no peace, waking or sleej> ing. At last I found I could have no; r< st till 1 came back and publicly' confessed my sin.' and so voluntarily I came home and publicly entered a plea of guilty to the charge of breach of tru--t."

Johnson, the greatest corpora tion lawyer of this or any other coun try. Rrady hunted publicity. Johnson sincerely evaded all forms Of publi ctiy. Johnson never gave an inter view. never had a photograph taken. When he died Saturday, no one in Philadelphia knew his birthday. The year of his birth was known but no one could tell the day of the month. His wife was dead, his mother was dead. lie left no children. He did not belong to a single solitary club or other organization. He was simply a lawyer, a lawyer all the time on the job and the lawyer with the biggest and richest corporations in the world for his clients. .no was twice ofTered a place on the United States Suprvnx Bench and refused both offers as well as all other honors. And yet this blf man, if the humor so1z?h| him, would take tiie case of softie jxK>r jhtsoa. worry u whole day over it ami keep millionaires worrying and ooolln* their heels outside his ottice door. Just as a sample case, not long since a special train was sent from New York for a big conference. He sent word several times that he was "busy" and the train was kept In the stution. Af ter six o'clock h? turned up at the depot and was carried to New York It' that si>ecial train. All day he had been occupied with a case in court of less than a bund red dollars in value Some jKXH* woman had managed to get his ear and his symi>athy. John | son was truly an intellectual pant i He probably deserved the title, the } "greatest lawyer in the Knglish-speak ing world." Diamond-Jim Brady was just the opposite. He rose from the humblest (ranks to bo one of the leading busi ness men of New Y'ork, accumulated a fortune of around $20,000,000. left no family save a brother and a sister, cu(? off the brother with a bequest of seven hundred dollars, gave his sister | tin* income from $25,000 and left all thQ balance of his big fortune to friends and to charity.
