The Business Outlook for 1908.

The banking house of Henry Clews
in it's weekly circular, which is a most
reliable authority on matters financial
takes a most cheerful view of the new
Years prospects. 1t says that while
the boom" period has passed, the in
dustrial, commercial and agricultural
interests of the country are enjoying
great prosperity and Wall street is not
indulging in any excuses. Mr.. Clews
that the volume of business continues
on an enormous scale. The growth OF
ity among the masses mean a great
consumption of the necessaries and
comforts of life, to say nothing of lux
uries in demand by the wealthy. The
spirit of lavishness is abroad in sharp
contrast with a former spirit of econ
omy; and this alone is a tremendous
trade stimulant. In many cases pro-
duction, rapidly as it is increasing in
various lines, has failed thus far to
overtake consumption, and so prices
continue high. All the chief industries
are actively employed; and, if profits
are declining, the volume of orders
shows 40 dminution. Everyone has
been expecting a reaction in the iron
trade; yet the great steel corporation
is still rushed with orders and has
plenty Of business in sight for months
20 come in spite of increased compe-
tition; the development of the country
and new uses for iron setting aside all
calculations based upon former stand
ards. The same is true in many other
lines of industry, old establishments
and new ones being fully employed
with no immediate prospect of over
supply.
In the agricultural field similar con-
ditions prevail. Another crop 0ilure
like that of 1901 would have been dis
astrous. Instead, we have been ia
vored with large crops and good prices,
so that the farming classes are unusu-
ally well-to-do. Throughout the West
there is great activity and astonishing
development. This is demonstrated by
the congested condition of traffic on all
the principal railroads, as we'll as by

Boothby has been suggested for the
presidency and would doubtless re-
ceive the support of all the boards.
There are some objections to Mayor
Boothby, not personal, however. in
Which it was thought that he would
not accept the position While mayor OF
Portland, but II must be remembered
that the annual election of the state
board is not held until next September,
and by that time Mayor Boothbys
term of Office will be nearly over. The
next meeting of the State board will be
the seni-annual, which will be held i'll
March, and it seems very probable that
Mr. Blanding will be elected secretary
to fill out the uneXpired term, regard
less of the fact that it will give Bangor
the two highest officials.

The journal and the Legislature.


The Journal extends a cordial greet.
ing to the members elect of the list
Legislature and hopes that their stay
in our city during the weeks and
months of The coming session may be
pleasant to them all. The Journal Of
flee is open, day and night. and there
any hour. We want them to feel free
to call in any time and inspect the
pla mt and it's work.
During the coming session of the
Legislature, as for the past half CEN
fury and more, the Journal will en-
deavor to give it's readers complete
and faithful review of all legislative
proceedings In it's columns. will be
published the stenographic report of
the sessions, and special representa-
tives will prepare, each day, full re-
ports of all committee hearings and
our columns the advance notices of all
committee hearings will be published,
and thus not only members but citi-
zens all over the State can keep
| thoroughly informed as to when mat
| ters of interest to them will come up
for consideration.
| While the Journal aims thus to be
an impartial mirror of all the legisla-
! tive work of the session, it does not
| feel that il can open it's columns to
communications from members or 9th
ers on subjects before the Legislature
for consideration. To make it's col
umns a forum for the discussions that
would follow were not such a rule en-
would be beyond our space taxed as il
will be to the utmost during the SEES
sion by the extra demands made upon
it by the official reports, and would
be in large measure a duplication OF
much that will have to be published il
the reports of the committee hearings
and of the sessions of the two bodies.

The Presiding Officers.

AS a leading feature of the organi-
cation of the list Maine Legislature,
this morning, it will be the pleasant
duty of the Senate and House to ratify
the nomina lions made in the Repub-
lican caucuses, last evening. While
there were spirited contests over the
nominations for some of the subordi-
nate positions in the two bodies, there
was complete unanimity in naming
the most important officers, those who
will preside over the two branches of
the Legislature during the weeks of
the coming session. 1t is no small be-
ginning toward making the work of
the winter success and credit to
the State when presiding officers are
chosen who are eminently fitted for
the position by natural ability and leg
islative experience, and of whose
integrity, fairness and sound Judgment
no question can be raised.
The Republicans of the Legislature
uiuSC SAOScH WISELY, anu III fIluhfitS
Hon. Harry Rust Virgin of Portland,
president of the Senate and Hon. Oscar
+. Fellows of Bucksport, speaker of
the House, both bodies are assured of
presiding officers possessing these
qualifications Mr.. Virgin, was men,
Der of the last Senate and earlier than
that was in the House, serving on the
most important committees and TAX
ing an active part in the work of the
sessions. He is no stranger to the
chair, and will meet all the require
ments of his important station in a
manner worthy of its highest tradi-
tons. Mr.. Fellows, like Mr.. Virgin is
an able lawyer and has had valuable
legislative experience. He won a host
of friends during the session of two
years ago, and it is a safe prediction
that he will keep them and add to
their number during his career as
speaker. AS far as presiding officers

The FIST Legislature.


The members-elect of the list Legis-
lature will meet at the Capitol, this
morning to organize and take the first
definite steps toward the work for
which the people of our State have
chosen them. The excellent nominal
lions Of last evenings Republican eau
cuses will be confirmed in both
branches, after the oaths have been adj
ministered by the governor, and other
routine work of organization DONE
Tomorrow the second Inauguration OF
Governor Hill will occur and upon the
message which he will read to the
Legislature the work of the session
will be largely based. Various State
officers will be chosen in joint conven-
ton, as nominated at the Republican
caucus to be held, this evening, after
the announcement of the standing
committees, adjournment will probably
be made until early in the coming
week.
The work of the Legislature which
will thus be organized and made ready
for business, today and tomorrow
promises to be of much importance.
While there is no one great matter,
overshadowing all others, crowding
for attention, there are many matters
to J,n
State awaiting it's most careful atten-
ton. We are confident that the men,
bers approach the work of the winter
with a full realization of the great re-
sponsibility placed upon them, and a
determination to do their work thor
oughly and impartially, keeping ever
in mind the best interests of the whole
State and the fact that their work is
for the future as well as for the pres
ent.
The list Legislature is made up of
strong and representative sons of
Maine. men fully able to maintain the
exceptionally high standard held IN the
past by our legislators among law
making bodies. Both branches have a
good number of members who have had
valuable Legislative experience, and the
new members are leading citizens of
their respective communities, men who
know we'll the sentiments of the peo-
pie and who are here this winter to
act accordingly. Maine is justly proud
of the fact that its legislatures have
been famed as Intelligent, honest, con-
sentative and public spirited bodies
never befouled by the scandals that
have shamed not a few of our sister
states, and there is every reason to
believe that the list Legislature will
be the peer of it's predecessors in all
these respects.
In accordance with a custom, as
credtable as it has been continuous
an overwhelming majority of the men,
bers of the present Legislature are Re-
publican in politics. Happily there is
little or nothing that is purely political
to engage the attention, and nothing to
prevent the members of all parties
from working together for the adj
vancement of the interests, the pro-
motion of the prosperity and the pro-
lection of the rights of the whole peo-
pie.

The round, rosy backing of old.

The drowsy heads hIddled around 1t at

In the darkness the winter wind signing
Make the flame take a ruddier glow;
The sparks up the broad chimney flying
Like witch-eyes that cleaned in the

And the comfort and joy of the wild win
