Agricultural Prosperity.


Signs multiply pointing to another
year OF agricultural prosperity From
Every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer
ing. The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great grain-pro-
ducing states, and announces that
the years wheat crop will be a
bumper one, despite reports of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
most wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage ever
planted. with the growing grain classi-
ned at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har-
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition of winter wheat
Is 100. while Minnesota and South Da-
kota seem certain of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in I'M
usually fine condition. In some parts
Of the middle west there has been a
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought. but the general outlook
IL most reassuring. And a big year
for crops means steadiness and conf
dence in commercial circles.

This is a question that has been
brought out forcibly by the great
strike of keymen.
Even assuming that the tele-
graph is an instrument of inter-
state commerce" said one of the
commissioners, land that it was
the intention Of congress to include
it under the regulative authority
conferred in the Hepburn act,
what of it? 1t would not help in
this situation. The Hepburn act
does not give the commission any
power to take possession of an in

imperative by strike or otherwise.
''The commission would have, at
most, no more than power to regu-
late charges on kilograms sent, and
to make rules in regard to the
kind of service to be rendered the
public. The commission has no
authority to regulate wages Of rail
way employees or to adjust wage
disputes between common carriers

OLYMPIA, Aug. pa. w. Per-
ley, inspector of tracks and safety
appliances for the railroad commits
sion, has filed report in which he
complains about the practice Of
the Northern Pacific railroad of
hauling bad order cars, even after
receiving notification not to do so.
In his report Inspector Perley
says that on July chained-up
cars were hauled out Of Seattle, the
train being in charge of Conductor
Mckinley and Engineer Reed. Aft
er this train had pulled out, Inspec-
tor Perley says he notified the
master mechanic, w. B. Norton, of
the practice of hauling bad order
cars contrary to the law, but in
spite of that notification the same
crew was sent out on July with a
train In which there were 10 chain
ed-up cars, Gin defiance" says the
inspector, "of my protest"
Inspector Periey also gives a list
of 13 bad order cars hauled from
Pasco to Ellensburg on Aug. 4, and
II bad order cars hauled out of Ell

and master mechanics have been
notified by Inspector Perley of
these movements of bad order cars.

The English view Is nowhere bet

"Mr. Rockefeller's view is prob

toriously timid. 1t is this nervous
ness, rather than the Rooseveltian
policy, | should say, which Is re-
sponsible for whatever unrest there
may be In American financial cir
cles."
Lord Welby is considered one of
the most reliable financial experts
in England. He was Gladstone's
mainstay when the G.. o. M. was
of the exchequer, and for
years was permanent secretary to
the British treasury.
