rnAnE CONDITIONS GOOD.

The Commercial National Bank of
Chicago has just prepared review OF
financial and trade conditions, which
is based on answers to some $4,000 in
ouiries sent to bankers, business
houses and crop experts throughout the
West and Southwest.
The replies are all optimistic and
most encouraging. In part, the review
says:
THE overwhelming evidence is that
the business situation is sound and
satisfactory. Not one of the thousands
OF replies negatives this conclusion IN
definite terms. That there has been a
marked easing down from the tension
of the spring and winter months of the
year is generally admitted The coun-
try had been rushing ahead at q whirl-
| wind pace until the tax on credit and
capital accommodations compelled re-

A CALL TO VIRGINIA.

we nave great pleasure III TeplouuS-
ing to-day an editorial article from the
Lynchburg News on the political situa-
ton, in which it calls upon the South
to take leadership in the councils of
the Democratic party The News
thinks that the movement should be-
gin in Virginia, and to that end urges
the Democrats of Virginia to hold an
early convention and be foremost IN
presenting n declaration of political
principles whose soundness and
strength will prove model and inspir-
alton for Democrats throughout the
land"
We do not desire TO revive old
scores. but we cannot forbear to say
that this was the plan which The
Times Dispatch had in mind some time
back. when. in December last, it pro-
posed q conference of Southern Demo-
Gratis to consider the expediency and
desirability of nominating Southern
man for the presidency.
THE hope of Democracy" said The
Times Dispatch. sis in the South. The
fate of the Democratic party is in the
hands of Southern Democrats. If they
had deserted 1t in the past 1t would
have persisted. If they should desert
it now it would perish; and there is
reason to believe that If they do not
soon take hold of it and reorganize and
vitalize IT. ii viii perish in spite of all
future efforts to save it. What shall
we do. then? Shall we suffer the party
to drift along without chart or COM.
pass until it is wrecked in strange wa
tiers? or shall we, as true pilots, come
boldly forward, take possession, re-
claim and declare the chart. and steer
the good snip safely into port?
1T is a homclSe figure. but it is APP
propriate and forceful, for the Demo-
cratic party is very like a ship which
has lost herself at sea-without chart,
without compass and with no sure
hand to guide. We firmly believe that
the time has come for Southern Dem
ocrats to assert their leadership and
their determination TO save the party
This must be done, If at all. in advance
of the convention. The movement
should begin now, and a representa-
tive conference should be held in 1907. ,.
In another article we said:

With nm Apology.

Regretting that my own dulnsss
makes it necessary to ask some one,
hope you will answer for me n ques-
ton which one of my boys has been
bothertng about for month 1t is
this: How can one place nineteen oh

Also should be glad to know how the
rigid wheels of "a railway car take
curves when the outer rail is longer
than the inner? TEACHER
The first question Is very properly
accompanied by an apology, for we
have neither time nor space TO give
to puzzles. Our querist may. however
construct six point star, using two
equilateral triangies. and draw straight
lines Joining the opposite points of the
star. The six points OF the star and
the thirteen intersections OF the limos
will show the location of the nineteen
objects.

not fiat. and the larger diameter is
inside next the fange. When the car
rounds the curve. centrifugal force
throws 1t outward and the greatest
circumference OF the wheel travels on
the outer rail and the least on the In
ner. This consideration is of some
force. but the MISUNDERSTANDING back
--of the inner wheel is the main relief
of the situation.

Three years she grew in sun and shower.
Then Nature said: IA 1ovelier flower
On earth was never sown:
This child to myself will take:
She shall be mine, and will make
lady OF my own.
Myself will to my darling bs
Both law and Impulse; and with me
The girl In rock and plain
In earth and heaven In glade and bower
Shall feel an overseeing power
To kndle or restrain.
That wild with sNee across the lawn
Or up the mountain springs:
And hers shall be the breathing balm,
And hers the silence and the calm
OF mute insensnte things.
The floating clouds their state shall lend
To her; for her the willow bend;
Nor shall she fail to
Fen in the motions OF the storm
Grace that shall mould the maden's form
BY silent sympathy.
The stars OF midnight shall be dear
To her; and she shall lean her
In many secret place
Where rivulets dance their wayv.ard round
And beauty born OF murmuring sound
Shall pass into her face.
and vital feelings Of delight
Shall rear her form to. stately height.
Her virgin bosom swell:
Such thoughts to Lucy VIII give
Here In this happy dell"
Thus Nature spake. The work was done
How my Lucy's race run!

The memory OF what has been,
