Washington. July 3.-Representa-
tive Flood, OF the Tenth Virginia
district, one of the leaders on the
Democratic side OF the house, gave
il as hiS opinion that il certain
contingencies arise the outlook is
Exceedingly bright for the next presi-
dent to be Democrat.
I'm the first place, " Said Mr.. Flood
Il am absolutely opposed to the in
definite occupation of the White
House by avn one man. President
Roosevelt. If he should be elected for
another term. will in my judgment
be serving i'm reality his third term
That is, as ! see IL. absolutely against
the spirit OF the Republican form of
government under which we are sun
posed to live. II he should be elect
ed for another term there is no reas
on. so far as | am able to see. why
a man should not hold on for an in
definite number OF years lust as
long, in fact, as he can secure the
nomination
II certain contingencies that
J look for happen the chances for
putting I'm a Democrat would be ex-
ceedingly good For instance. the
wheat, cotton and tobacco crops are
practically a failure and il will take
the most favorable weather I'm all
sections where those crops are grown
TO produce anything like good
yield. Now when the crops. what
ever they may amount to are market
ed this fall money is going to be tight
and hard to get The result OF this
Is bound 10 go against the Republi-
cans and in favor Of the Democrats.
II is only human.
Should the change OF feeling
come. and ] certainly look for IT, the
question will then be who can lead
the Democrats. In my opinion the
answer 10 that question can be found
in either Senator Daniel Of VIRGINIA,
or Culbcrson. OF Texas, for first
place AMI Johnson. OF Minnesota. for
second place on the i"kot.

their running mate we would have a

"As ] said ] believe that conditions
are going TO change in the next ten
or twelve months and in that event
prospects for a Democrat In the
White House would appear to be
especially bright
Should we be able TO win next

Britain's Foreign Food Bill is $1,000.
100000 Annually.

Great Britain's growing depend
ence upon foreign nations for food
is strikingly illustrated by the sta
tistics issued by the board of agri-
culture Twenty years ago the for
eign food bill for year reached a
total approximately of $5O),O)O, eco
In 1906 it amounted to 1000 coz, 600
an increase far greater than is &C
countable by the growth OF popula-
ton.
Detailed tables compared the inn
ports of food per head in SO and 1906
The most notable is wheat, the ig-
ures for which stand at 1l6 pounds
and 239 pounds respectively. Butter
and its substitutes stand at l., and
10 ga pounds respectively. Sugar
SO and sc pounds respectively. and
above all, meat at 20 ga AMI ~ Ia
pounds
In regard to meat it is noteworthy
that the figures not merely represeE'
great import but an immensely in
creased consumption. The report says
there is nc evidence of any diminu-
ton in the home supplies of meat
Thus the figures indicate that the
consumption per head has been more
than doubled, showing that the stand
ard of living has been markedly rails
ed in twenty years.

Widows Home is Blown Up.

The home of Mrs. Mary Mcdonald
widow of Montgomery Ind, was
wrecked with dynamite by unknown
persons at 3 o'clock Friday morning
The explosion awoke all the resi-
dents of the town and shook neigh
boring houses to their foundations.
Mrs. Mcdonald, it is said, has been
in the habit of sleeping in the rear
of her house, but, fortunately, she
changed her bedroom that night.
Notwithstanding she received injuries
from falling beam that may result
in death. When neighbors reached
the scene they found the rear part of
the house torn completely away and
Mrs. Mcdonald lying in bed, held
down by heavy beam which had
fallen across her body. The dyna-
mite had torn hole in the ground
several feet deep. and it is thought
at least two or three pounds of the
explosive must have been used
There is no clew to the perpetrators
OF the outrage and no known motive
for the crime.
