Perhaps the most encouraging fea- turc at present is the crop outlook says Banker Clews. The season IS fully two weeks earlier than last year, and weather conditions have been favorable for cultivation and planting. No damage has been reported from inc late cool spell cx- cent to fruits. Reports as to winter wheat are exceedingly flattering. cOn- clifton appearing to bc considerably better than at this time last year. Cotton IS also doing well. and 1dvices thus far received indicate TO decrease in acreazc. Good crops this year will accomplish more than anything else toward restoring business to normal volume and prosperity. Prices of all agricultural products are high and yield a good profit tp the grower. With chances. therefore, that there will be g good demand during tle coming year for everything which our farmers can grow there is every pr"s- pect for a very profitable year for ha agricultural classes

But many democrats are friends of the president, and on all non-political questions, friends of his policy, Moreover, they know that their constituents, although southern and democratic, are with lhe president from personal liking and on many political questions. The presi- dents strongest supporter ill the house, Representative Hobson of Al abama, expresses the views and sen- timents of his section when he urges appropriations for powerful navy. The house voted strongly against this appropriation. Members of the house also are hearing in most emphatic language from their constituents and though the senate has defeated the bill for additional battlcships at this session there can be no doubt that q policy for q stronger navy is fixed in the minds and hearts of the people and will find expression in future

Speaker Cannon and his cohorts, frightened at the tremendous bom- bardment of the president with his messages and by the democratic house leader with his filibuster, have about concluded to make pretence of pass ing a considerable part of the legis- lstion demanded by the president. For instance, Representative Payne, the republican floor leader, has intro duced an anti-injunction bill, which Representative Williams says amounts to nothing, but which the house lead CTS have been driven to after resist ing every inch of the way. So too, they will pass child labor bill for the District of Columbia, after vow ing they would not, and it looks as if they would pass the campaign pub licity bill, which they hate like poi son.

The reports regarding Mir Hearst and his Independence League are of a disuuieting character. It is assert ed positively by men in the confidence of Mir Hearst that he will put q na- tional ticket in tho field, that he will back it with the powerful influence of his widely circulated newspapers, and that he expects to run second in Massachusetts, New York and Illinois. The great wealth of Mir Hearst, as well as his widely distributed and more or less influential newspapers, render him power to he rcckoned with and while no unprcjudiced oh- server believes he can accomplish any material result toward clecting him. self president, there is no denying the fact that he can draw a great many democratic votes away from the reg ularly nominated candidate of the democratic party.
