Harvest Outlook.

A dispatch from Marshfield says
Crops taken as whole in this locality
are satisfactory. The winter grains
are looking exceptionally well, but
those planted this spring show the
effect OF excessive rains in low and
poorly drained farms. Light frosts
occurred two nights last week, which
damaged beans, corn, and tomatoes
somewhat. Hay is going to be the
banner crop in this section, the yield
promising larger than in many years.
Winter wheat and rye promise big
returns also Vegetables of all kinds
are backward on account of continued
rains during May.

HEATH KEEPS HIS JOB.

The Republican National Committee will stand
behind Heath until after the National Convention
Sulcnly, manifcsting 10 enthusiasm whatever, the
committeeman intimate that they will back Roose-
welt solidy for the nomination. Here is a peculiar
contradiction; the kind of harmony that spells
inner dispute and confusion.
The President is convinced of Heaths connection
with the postal frauds. and it is no secret that lie
was after evidence which would secure the indict-
of the former First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral. Unable to effect an indictment, the Presi-
dent officially assailed Heath in the commentary at
tached to the Bristow report Having done this, he
came forward in his abrupt and imperative manner,
demanding that Heath be fired from the National
Committee
It. occurred that in this particular onslaught
Roosevelt collided with Senator Hanna. The shock
was heard all over the nation, and everybody ex-
pected to see something tumble. But Hanna cleaves
to his friends, such as they are. and SO far from
firing Heath, seemed inclined to fire Roosevelt out
of the White House in 1904. From which it ap-
peared that fight was the only possible issue.
Now the breach seems to be patched up after
fashion. The committee will accept Roosevelt be-
cause they fear to do otherwise but they will also
sustain Heath.
Any possible construction put upon these facts
does not reflect creditably upon the committee. If
Heath be the type of politician which the Bristow
report proclaims him to be- the committeeman put
themselves upon his level by continuing him rs their
secretary. If In doing his usual bull-in-thechina-
shop act Roosevelt gave sanction to an unjustfable
denunciation OF Heath then 1t would seem that
Hanna's friends would forward like little men
and back him against the present occupant Of the
White House.
Just what It was that moved Senator Hanna to-
adhere determnedy to Heath is part of the dark
of the affair, but certain it is that Heahs re-
tention indicates the Ohio mans strength. The in
teresting point now is to know whether the Prest-
dent has knuckled under to Hanna has abated
his demands for Heaths dismissal in order to
placate some of the committeeman. In any case,
the factors underlying the reported union upon
Roosevelt are so much ut variance that his political
future is still uncertainty
When the National Committee of the party in
power assemblies Congress fades into the back
ground. In many ways this committee is the third
house. Of which many speak, Already, before any
of the real business Of its present sitting has been
transacted, its mancuvers have developed situa-
ton Of significant interest.

THE POODLE DRAMA.

The mclodrama builder who has constructed
play with intensely absorbing Doodle plot has
made the legislative agent the rchvillain the legls
lator's wife an accomplicc in bribery conspiracy
the legislator an innocent fool and wealthy cattle
man from the Ozark Mountains a magnanimous
hero. By the average standard of emotional appeal
the legislative agent and the legislators wife should
get the Misses the noble specimen of manhood from
Purityville the cheers and the honest legislator a
bucketful of weeping.
1t seems that the archvllain had bank account,
which he wished to exchange for street railway
franchise in st. Louis. and that member Of the
City Council, who was without guile, had a wife
who loved fine raiment more than she priced her
husbands honor. The wife was willing to exchange
her husbands reputation for costly apparel and the
legislative agent was willing to help her. The
simple unsuspecting, inexperienced Councilman
knew nothing Of the conspiracy against him and
was about to become easy VICTIM when stall
wart mountaineer, wiser than an ordinary legis-
lator, came to his rescue from the goedlands
The playwright has conceived what might be
styled prose idyl in melodrama concerning street
railway franchises and the fine clothes Of legis-
lator's wife, but he could probably have done bet
ter, in dramatic sense, If he had served in the
PostOf Department, or been member of one OF
the old St Louis Doodle assemblies. He has sur
rendered many sensational situations with which
q tabasco sauce drama might have been concocted
He could have Incorporated n scene showing the
boodlers at a birthday party; scene showing the
boodlers taking the Thieves Oath; n scene showing
the flight Of the boodlers to foreign parts; scene
showing boodlers operating mine; n scene show
ing boodlers in far-away prisons; scene showing
boodlcrs counting the Doodle; scene showing boo
ders turning pale in the presence Of the Grand Jury;
a scene showing boodlcr in the act of telling his
wife that lie had made flew thousand on the
stock market; q scene showing the boodlers vince
ding Doodle from the man from Purityvile; scene
showing the legislative agent in the act Of getting
the Doodle from the franchiseseekers scene show
ing the legislative agent and the booers depositing
the Doodle in a safedeposit vault in trust COM
pany, and so on. From this material quite stir
ring play might be arranged.
Mr. Frohman might take the hint and have
strong Doodle play written-or constructed. He
might engage the notorious political bosses and
boodlers Of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
st. Louis to play the principal parts and use real
Doodle in the production. And, at that, he would
not have to search the rural districts for honest men
for honest roles.
