One might fill some pages with reports
substantially like the above. But, as a
matter of fact. that the individual consumer
the country over has more money than ever
before. and is buying accordingly, Is not
seriously doubted by anybody. excepting
possibly some Wall street bull whose re-
cent experfen have been of nature to
make him doubt everything seriously.
How could it we'll be otherwise?

dollars a year, and the prospect Is good
for an average crop this year" The Orange
Judd Farmer foots up a total farm pro-
duction for 1908 slightly topping seven bill

of September 7. thinks the outturn this
year will be about 10 per cent greater. 1t
puts the aggregate farm value of six lead
ing crops (wheat corn oats, cotton. hay.

at seventeen billion dollars. against nine

II, therefore, you ask, "Is there anything

depend mostly upon the locality. In the

the answer will be. Nothing. whatever."
The man who looks to primary buying
power sees a splendid condition. and that
covers so much of the area of the business
situation that, perhaps. he does not think
it worth while to inquire further.

.HAGERTY WILL PRESIDE
OVER POLICE COMMISSION
Selection Is Said to Have
Been Made at Meeting
Yesterday
LEAHY is DISGUSTED
VIII Not Accept Leave of
Absence and Wants to
Be sRid of 1t All"
LEAHY is DISGUSTED

Commissioner Hagerty is said to be
slated for the presidency of the police
board when Commissioner Leahy re-
tires. The three commissioners, Hag-
erty, Finn and Wallen. met in Chief
Dinan's Office yesterday afternoon and
the selection, 1t is reported, was de-
cided upon.
Finn said: II was surprised when
heard that / was mentioned as the
next president of the board. 1t is not
up to me- Commissioner Hagerty is
the oldest member of the board and
there is no reason why he should not
be the next president"
Commissioners Wallen would not ex-
press an opinion, but he agreed that
the Oldest member of the board was
entitled to the chair. When asked IL
he had sent in his resignation, he re-
piled: why should /? 1 have done
nothing that / need be ashamed of. and
no reason why / should not remain
member of it,
Friends of Hagerty, who are close to
the administration, say that he will
make an excellent president. He is
possessed of good executive ability and
clear judgment.
1t Is known that the mayor is reluc-
tant to accept President Leahy's resig-
nation and would be willing to give him
leave of absence. When the posi-
bility of the mayors granting him
leave of absence was mentioned to
Leahy a few days ago he said Il don't
believe in that. 1t would lead to COM
plications. When George A. Newhall
was president of the board he got so
days leave of absence and the time was
extended. The result was that when
one of the three remaining members
was unable to attend a meeting of the
board no business could be transacted.
as there was no quorum.
ITO prevent repetition of that un-
desirable state of affairs l have urged
the mayor to accept my resignation
and appoint man in my place, owing
to the existing conditions in this city.
l want to be rid of the whole business
