RECENT ASSASSINATION OF
ERZBERGER THE CAUSE
Bitter Political and Factional
Differences Smouldering For
Some Time Past Have Brok
en Out Into Flames, With
Very Serious Consequences
Impending.
Berlin, Aug. 29.—Political condi
tions in Germany which have assumed
a very aspect, were considered
by the cabinet meeting today, at
which President Ebert presided.
The assassination of Mathias Erz
berger last week appears to have set
the match to the piled up political
combustibles, which have been
smoldering for some time.
The cabinet is believed to have
found Itself in a serous predicament
after giving the situation thorough
consideration: viewing as they were
presented from every standpoint.
No public announcement was made
during the morning as to any decision
readied by the cabinet by which the
situation could improved through
the nation.
One of the features of the situation
troubling the government is the atti
tude of organized labor, supported by
the socialists and communist parties,
in demanding a definite suppression
of activities and mar-fetnatioßH of the.
pan-Germans who have been unusual
ly active lately 'holding battle anni

SURELY THE BUSINESS
PENDULUM SWINGS BACK.
Building up has always been the
chief ambition of man—he who
has genius to construct, whether
it be great edifice*, the develop
ment of industries or yet the
farmer who has learned how to
make two blades .of grass grow,
where only one grew before, that
man is a success"!
Then again, optimism is a great
builder; it builds up the mind
thought and it is a stimulating
factor in the every clay life of any
and all communities; the business
man who heralds pleasant tidings
who interprets the more cheerful
situation, after the storms and
tempests qf reconstruction—why
he is a blessing!
So this morning It is refreshing,
when a great business house,
handling building material and
hardware supplies comes to the
people with the cheery injunction,
‘•Surely the business pendulum
swings back." Read this message
of good cheer; it is worth the
reading and he speaks of a return
of the music of the "hammer and
the saw." ,i, / ,
*\ A >t r>
The young executive of this old
firm, once numbering among its
members a well loved former
mayor, and more lately a promi*
nent county official, is imbued
with the proper energy: he is a
builder of thought, because he has
the vision to see the rising tide
of prosperity at our very ioor.
