Roger W. Babson, noted statistician, says that we are at the beginning of an upward swing to a peak of prosperity which will not be reached for two year s at least. B. C. Forbes has charts and fig ures to prove that the country is but entering the period of good times from Hip period of bad times which were the reaction from war infla tion. The Department ‘of Labor finds that the nation is calling for labor, and that the unemployment situation of a few months ago i s so altered as to be unrecognizable.

I want foreign ships to come in, as is their right, wet. Forty per cent of the passengers ar e foreigners and will not subscribe to our views.” “When we are in international business, we only deceive ourselves to think that " America rules the world,” the shipping board official said. The principal profit of ships com ing to American shores is the emi grant traffic, he said. The emigrant regards wine and beer as food as much as they do bread and water, he assei’ted. Liquor-bearing ships can obtain this traffic and upon ap proaching American waters can throw overboai'd such liquor as may b e left, although he said they could not figure to a barrel just how much liquor would be required by their passengers.

HARRIS PLANS TO SPEAK IN GEORGIA Senator Confers With Friends in Atlanta Over State Poli tics and Expresses Satisfac tion at Result of Primary. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21.—Senator William J. Harris reached Atlanta yesterday from Cedartown, gave his rather tart reply to Governor Hard wick’s bitter statement against him and announced that he would re ma:n in Georgia until November 20. when President Harding would call the extra session Af congress.

Hi■; headquarters at the Ansley Hotel were crowded all day and he was being warmly welcomed by political followers from every section. He did not attempt to conceal his delight at the outcome of the special senatorial primary of last Tuesday and seemed as keenly appreciative of the vote as Senator-designate George himself could have been. Announcement of speaking (fetes between now and November 20 were made by him, including Buchanan and CartersviHe, hom e of Senator Fel ton, the latter engagement being on November 6. ' Although his statements were that -lie merely wanted to discuss with the voters his record in the senate, polit ical observers here are inclined to see in h?s plans the beginning of his own campaign for re-election, which takes place two years hence; this feeling comes from the proximity of his tour to the recent primary and the active part he took i n that fight, together with the fact that in the closing days of it, Governor Hardwick seem ed to direct hi s fire against Senator Harris, rather than Candidates George and Wright. • Whether such is the case remains to be seen, but the aftermath of the recent prifary points to the bitterest contest i n the history of the state when Senator Harris does announce again and the senator is a fairly alert politician. * IMMIGRATION YET IS GREAT PROBLEM Country is Rapidly Awakening to Importance of Ne" and Bet ter Law on This Important Matter.
