TIE NORTHWEST is ALL RIGHT


Special adviees from our Washing
ton correspondent in Fridays G o e
gave an interesting review of the de-
partment of agriculture's reports on the
crops in Minnesota and Dakota. After
matter of some three months, the de-
partment discovered what everybody
knew at the time-that its early pre-
dictions were wide of the mark. We do
not blame the federal authorities for
not foreseeing the damage to be done
by rust after their estimates were is
sued. We do blame them because their
estimates, when issued, not taking flu
ture injury into account, were grossly
exaggerated. They put the crop of the
country much higher than there was
any reason to suppose that it would or
could be, and the farmer felt the in
jury in lower prices. For weeks or
months grain prices were based upon
the incorrect prediction of the depart
ment, which information in the pos
session of intelligent men in touch with
the crop situation could have corrected.
The farmer paid the penalty. This fail
ure by the department to tell the truth,
easily ascertainable, ought to be in
vesugated and properly punished.
The figures now given out are by no
! means discouraging. If we had had
them last spring, they would have Gre
ated a sensation. No one at that time
could have imagined the enormous adj
vance in wheat prices that has oc-
CURED, making the return to the farmer
greater than ever. The department
places the yield of the entire West, in
Guiding seven states, Minnesota, the
two Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon, at less than 200,-
100000 bushels. This, when We con-
slider the ordinary yield of Minnesota
and the Dakotas, is a great falling off.
It shows still more plainly in the av-
els for North Dakota as against 1871
last year; 9.3 for South Dakota as
against 1873 last year; and 1913 for Min
nesota as against 1871 last year. All Of
this loss is made good for the farmer,
however, by an increase in price, which
so offsets the decrease in yield as to
leave him money in pocket.
This is confirmed from all quarters
by authorities national as well as local.
We published lately a statement by the
general manager of big manufactur-
ing company, whose business stretches
throughout the Northwest, showing
| that conditions were never better in
this territory. In fact he says that the
prosperous state of affairs is not con-
| fined to any one line of trade, but that
the farmers are receiving SO much cash
| for their crops that buying on a large
scale is more general than ever before.
This is the final and satisfactory index
of prosperity The Northwest has
money in the bank and money to spend
this year, and all lines of business feel
| the effect of it. 1t is time for en-
coura cement all around, and for a gem
eraI expansion of business activity to
meet exceptionally favorable conditions.

IN A PANIC

1t looks as IL the Dunn managers nau
lost their heads in the tremendous
panic that has overcome them, and yet
we do not know that they could have
done better. They have to contend
against rising tide so irresistible that
it will sweep everything before it. They
are sending campaign speakers every
where, and canvassing this state with
a thoroughness scarcely seen in the inn
portant doubtful states Of the East.
That they are making no Roadway is
due to the insurmountable facts of the
situation
Over in Hennepin county they long
ago realized their situation, but are
only just now making it public. Hen
nepin county is going to give John A.
Johnson the biggest majority that it
ever gave to any candidate. Opinion
there is pretty nearly unanimous. New
er in any political campaign has any
thing like it been seen. Republicans Of
lifelong party standing, men who are
active in the councils of the party, even
those who have been and aspire again
to be efficeholders, are outspoken in
their intention to vote the whole Demo-
cratic ticket. So far has this gone that
the Republican newspapers in Mime
apolis are suggesting the sacrifice Of
local candidates to save Dunn if possi
bic. This does not make the local can
didates feel comfortable, and the whole
party is by the ears.
in Hennepin county or in the state
at large. This is no temporary ebulli-
ton of feeling, it is no local discomfort.
but a strong and general determination
to transfer the control of political af-
fairs in Minnesota from the Repub-
lican party to the Democratic. Only
the other day a man with whom Re-
publicly in street conversation that
for the first time in his life he was 60
ing to vote not only for John A. John
son, but for the entire Democratic
| ticket. He said that he would do this
as Republican, not only for the good
of Minnesota, but for the good of the
Republican party as he saw it. He be-
lieved that Republicanism could be
saved from disgrace and extinction in
Minnesota only by discipline which
should teach it that it must not toll
crate either the men or the methods
that have obtained and that are now
seeking control.
This is why the movement in favor
revolt, but revolution. This is why all
| the efforts that Republicans may make
will be absolutely unable to check it.
1t is not fractional, or individual, or
| sponsored by i'll temper or disappoint-
ment, but deliberate, we'll judged and
almost universal. At last the machine
managers can retain their composure
no longer, admit the deplorable condi-
ton of their affairs and send out cry
for help. 1t is too late. The people of
this state have made up their minds
and decided rightly. They are not to
be moved by frantic appeals at the last
moment in the name of party. Thou
sands who are strong Republicans and
expect to remain so believe that they
can save their party only by repudiat-
| ing everything for which is now stands.
They cannot be cajeled or coerced or
changed in the last few days of, the
campaign from their thoroughly pom
dered decision. The Republican cause
in Minnesota is a failure this year.
Dunn and his associates are surely
beaten.
