is expected that the usual amount of trading\will
be done for the early July period and, unless there
is continued bol spell, the summer travel will by

The shrewdest observers, or at least the ma
jority of those who accounted such, believe that
the business prospects are good. There notice
able few months ago reaction, but it proved not
TO be of much Importance, and any prospect OF a
crisis seems now TO have passed.
One interesting fact is that in nearly every
trade in this country the sales of the first six
months of this year exceed those of the first six
months of last year. In Canada the returns show a
similar condition, with even better prospects for
the fall trade than last year. There seems to be
everywhere noticeable confidence in a big fall
business and that means strong belief in the win
ter trade also being good
AS for cotton the reports from the South all
show the crop to be in good condition, though rain
is interfering in making it hard, with scarcity OF
labor, to keep the fields clear of grass. Cotton
goods at New York remain unusually firm. Wool

There is an organization in Ward that calls
itself the Seventh Ward Democratic club, and 1t
has distributed circulars containing this statement
"The Seventh Ward Democratic club indorses
For attorney general, Edward M. Sullivan; for
United States senator, Col Robert II. |. Goddard /;
for governor, James H. Higgins; for mayor. Patrick
J. Mccarthy" This is excellent platform, SO
far as it goes but what is the matter with Repre-
sentative Myers The Republicans want to defeat
Mr.. Myers and the Democrats who served in the
last general assembly more than anything else. Ii
consistent the organization will endorse Myers,
pretty promptly. He deserves endorsement.

Gov. Higgins is quite right when he appeals
to the employers to allow those under them who
are members of the national guard to have the adj
vantage of the week in camp. Some employers are
prone to look upon the encampment as mere va

the case While the best of good times are enjoyed
by the men, they obtain there education along
the line of discipline and military tactics which
goes towards the efficiency of the state troops.

Maxim Gorky in attack of spleen" says
that the Whitechape district did not surprise him,
as he had seen the East Side in New York. Gorky
certainly has his hammer out for America and no
mistake Probably there is other individual
who thinks seriously, and who has been in both the
above districts, but would disagree with Gorky.
Beyond doubt the East Side in New York is bad
enough, but it's not quite down to the Whitechapel

The use of Niagara Falls power for run
ming street cars in Syracuse comes pretty
near to being failure. 1t has become an
altogether too frequent occurrence for the
cars to stand still In the streets for 10 or
30 or 80 minutes or so. The juice gives
out and nobody seems to know why, al
though there are reports now and then
Of a storm along the line or something OF
that kind. People are obliged to walk
because the cars do not run They do
not want to walk and they gladly pay
their fares to ride.
The Syracuse Lighting company pro-
poses to utilize Niagara power in the
course of a few months, and a number of
manufacturing plants will get this cur
rent What are these plants going to do
when the power goes off every few days
because of the mythical storm along the
line? Hands will stand idle and the
product be delayed because of the experi-
ment of using Niagara power with sim
gle wire for transmission. People WILL OF
course. learn that they are at the mercy
OF the electric monopoly and will begin to

HUNT PUSHES
 H|S. RESOLUTION Constitutional Amendment Resolution Authorizes Cit, ies and Counties to Issue Improvement Bonds.
J JEFFERSON TO FRONT
Hunt Says This County Will Build One Ilnntred Niles oi !le Best tour- t} Road Arhan>a~ Has Ever Had.

Mr Hunt of Jefferson called up Joint Resolution No. which pro- poses an amendment to the constifil- ton to the effect that counties and municipalities may bond themselves for Improvement of the highways.
 Mr. Hunt succeeded in having the house pass fayorably on his proposed amendment to the constitution resolu ton. This is the first proposed amend ment that has found favor, except the one which presents for the second time the question of the poll tax qual ification. Mir. Hunt made a splendid pleading for the adoption of his reso- lution, stating that if the purpose of the resolution We're in effect, ,Jeifer- son county would take the initiative and build 100 miles of the best county road that Arkansas ever had.
 ! \ vigorous speech Was made in de- l fense of the resolution. Tn Jefferson county, said MT. Hunt, we spend S3700o every year to keep up our roads, and at the end of the year there is nothing left to show for the ill1- l provement. Ii We could issue bonds and spend $300,000 for 100 miles of good solid road we would have that road forever, and the money that we keep pouring on the roads would bring a permanent result. MT. Hunt stated that Jefferson county would take the initiative if the resolution were adopt ed and would show to the people of Arkansas that good roads could be constructed when it is gone about in the proper manner
 The resolution was adopted in the house. being the second one of this nature to find favor in that body. The vote of the house or that question was 62 to 9.
