THE gates of the jamestown EXPOSE
ton, held in honor Of The three hur-
dredth anniversary OF the landing of the
first Eoglish settlers in America, will
close tonight. The exposition in every
respec. save Financially has been q cue

While not 50 large as some Of the others
held in recent years the Jamestown Ex-
position wss admittedly one Of the most
attractive and from an historic and educa-
tional point Of view surpassed all of Its
predecessors. TIE buildings were band
some snd imposing, the exhibits the
very latest Inventions Of tho arts and
sciences, and the naval reviews the
finest ths. have ever occuTedin Amefl-
can wsters. Notwithstanding sll this,
but by reason Of bad management the
exposition did not draw sufficient
crowds to make it a financial success and
for this the world will pronounce it a
failure. Upon whom the blame will
rest Is not now known, but from the very
first tbe managers did not seem to pull
together; then came open dissentions and
fnslly whea the women became Involved
in the controversies, the exPosition's fate
vas sealed. But if it did not succeed,
il did more-it deserved success.

FARM PRODUCTS.

Mr.. james Wilson, In his annual e.
port as Secretary of Agriculture, states
thai the American farm production Of
1907 is well Up to the average 10 guam
THY, While the prices are higher and the
farmer gets more money for what he has
10 sell. He estimates the total value OF
farm productions in 1907 at 81 4l2, 0O0,
900, which is 10 per cent. greater than
the total of 1906. II per cent. greater
Than that of 1905, 20 per cent. above
that of 1904 20 PEI cent. in excess Of
that for 1903 and 81 per cent. greater
than tie total value for 1899. The animals
sold from farms and those slaughtered
on them in 1907 were worth about 81,
270, 900, coo, or nearly twice as much as
the cotton crop.
Speaking of the chief crops, the secre-
tary says that corn ranks first in import
ance, and while not as large rs that Of
1906 the vSlue of the corn crop Of 1907
10 greater, aud he figures that eight such
COPS would pay for duplicating every
mile of steam railroad in the United
States, with terminals, rolling stock and
all railroad property.

estimated to be from $3.50. 600, 900 to
1915, 900. 900. The crop is The third

Tbe wheat croo is 625, SIC, 600 bushels
5 per cent. less than the average quantity
for the FIVE preceding years. But the
value is about $500, 100000, or 81 per

THE breach between Senator Foraker
aud the President has been wideued, Il is
now believed, beyond the bridging linit.
The Senator ia a letter to Conrad J.
Mattern, vice president Of the Oaio re-
publican league, made public last night,
announces that he is a candidate for the
republican nomination for president and
will accept support to that end. Mr.
Foraker's action removes any uncertain
ty as to his attitude. Its most serious
hearing will be upon the chances Of Will
liam Fl. Taft, who has been accepted by
many republicans as President Roose-
velfs candidate for the nomination. Mr..
Foraker's announced purpose Of accept
ing support for the nomination is one Of
the greatest political sensations that has
been experienced for long time. Ii puts
away the plans Of President Roosevelt
and the friends Of Mr. Taft to obtain
unanimous Endorsement of the Secretary
of Wars candidacy in his own State of
Ohio, where Mr.. Foraker is strong and
where, 10 fact the movement for his can
didscy, which forms the text Of his an
nOuGcement; was initiated. The Seus-
tor If he is not able to secure the presi-
dental nomination for himself is in a
position most probably 10 prevent It's 60
ing to Mr. TAFT. Vengeance is sweet.
