During the greater part of the
month of May weather conditions
were most favorable to wheat
growth and the prospect as now
estimates by the correspondents
shows an improvement of two per
cent, over the prospect reported
one month ago, or "a per cent.
compared with an average. This
is most excellent showing and
assures heavy average yield per
acre, although, as stated in previ-
Gus reports, the total area seeded
is below an average, which fact
must be taken into consideration
in anticipating the total yield of
the harvest. The prospect over
the state is quite uniform, not
county in the state repor ting it at
less than 80 per cent, while last
year at this time there was wide
variance in percentage estimates,
ranging from Is per cent. to 96
per cent. On May l, 1907, the
average wheat prospect for the
state aa whole was estimated at
~ per cent, Whlle Tor that harvest
there was produced an estimated
average of 15.4 bushels per acre.
BY comparison with the present
report it is shown that wheat pros
poets in Ohio are most encourage
ing.
Oats prospects are estimated at
80 per cent. compared with an
average. Corn planting has been
retarded by unfavorable we ather
conditions.
The scarcity of corn, conse-
qnently it's high market value,
accounts for the small average
number of hogs being fed for sum-
mer markets. Their condition is
reported at 30 per cent. compared ,
with an average.

All Eyes on Chicago,

The Republican national con-
vention is attracting about all the
attention of Ohio politicians at the
present time and this condition
will doubtless continue until after
that great body of federal office
holders adjourns. The Taft con-
tingent at Columbus, and this in
cludes all of the horde now on the
state payroll, as we'll as those who
expect to get on, are particularly
Interested in the results Of the
Chicago convention If Taft wins
the nomination their ability to
distinguish bandwagon from
hearse will be demonstrated, but
if the heir-apparent falls down
some fellows who regard them
selves as nightly big politicians
will be in the down and out class
and ready for the political scrap
pile. After all, the convention is
not, as popularity supposed, to
make the nomination for president,
but this job will be performed by
the national committee, whose de-
cisiOns in the numerous contests
will decide the nominee and whose
work will simply be ratified by the
convention. The number of dele
gates whose seats are contested
added to either the Taft strength
or to the Taft opposition will con
stitute a majority of the entire
body and for this reason it will be
seen that the Republican cand idats
will be named by the national c,m
mittee and not by the delegates.
While the fight for delegates he.
tween the factions has been a
fierce one the struggle for control
of the committee has been much

SECRETARY TAFT makes his bru.
tai insult to the memory of Grant,
spoken at that hero's tomb, even
more callous but adherent by his
lame explanation. Had his aim
been to point the moral of conquest
by self-will over weakness there
was no reason for the peculiar
minuteness Of specification and
roughness and rawness Of itemiz
ing the successivs failures of the
young officer. When one reads
again his speech in it's advance
printed copies amazement follows
the more careful ptrnsal of the
barbarous sentences. 1t ia the
gloating apparently of surviving

CONGRESS is trying to agree on a
day for adjournment without hav-
Ing accomplished any legislation
to relieve the people Of trust high
prices. The Republican leaders
fear to allow the tariff and trust
issues to be discussed, 80 have de-
termined to standpat, and by
threats and caiolery have kept
their followers in subjection. With
business depressed and wages de-
clining the cost of living has not
come down to meet these condi-
tions, for the trusts are still pro-
tected by the tariff in charging the
same old top notch prices On such
necessities as the ordinary family
consumes. Some things, such as
meat, are even dearer than in the
height of the boom times. How
will the Republican spell binders
be able to reasonably explain this
standpat attitude, when asking
the voters to endorse Republican
policies. How can Republican
congressman ask for endorsement
when they have actually done
nothing of service?
