ALMOST OUT OF TIE WOODS.

The financial, commercial and in
dustrial interests that have been lean
ing hard upon the crop prospects as
the main leverage for the uplift of
business, which has been below nor
NAL for some months, may s~traighten
up and take a long breath. There is,
of course, always an element of uncer-
tainty in the crop yield, but, with the
end of August but a few days away,
most of the risks have been passed and
the outlook is now most assuring for
one of the greatest crops in the coun-
try's history.
the wheat crop has passed. The win
ter wheat crop has been practically
harvested and will reach the promised
total of 425, 900, 900 bushels, The
spring wheat crop, the harvesting Of
which is in progress in Minnesota, the
Dakotas and in Canada, is in fine con-
dition,' with a yield about up to the
average of the ~ten-year period, which
will bring the total wheat production
of this country for the year up to
zoo, 000, 900 bushels. The only Gle
ment of risk to this crop is the danger
of excessive rains during the thresh-
ing period.
Cotton conditions come next in tie
point of uncertainty in the yield.
Prospects are for a yield of about a.
600, 900 bales, we'll above the ten-year
average, and reports show the cotton
to be in splendid condition. It will
be ready for the picking within three
weeks and is in danger only from
storms, which often rage in the cotton
belt country at this season of the
year, when the cotton bolls are open
and easily ruined.
With an indicated yield of 2,716,-
900 900 bushels, the corn crop
promises to be the largest in the
history of the country, with the
exception of the bumper year
Of 1906, and all conditions are now
most favorable for the maturing of the
crop. The caring process has devel-
oped well into the milky period and
the rains of the last ten days, cover
ing the entire corn belt, has removed
practically all danger of the shriveling
effects of dry weather. An early frost
Of the blighting variety is about the
only element of danger to the corn
crop.
The conditions that have assured
a bumper corn crop have also made
certain a hay and forage crop that
will be of great value to the farmers
and stock growers. in furnishing food
for the cattle without making a too
heavy drain on the corn yield, which,
even as large as 1t promises to be,
will command a price that will prevent
it's liberal use for feeding purposes,
While some elements of uncertainty
still remain, all chances are that the
crops will be unusually large, and that
will be cause sufficient for a general
revival in all lines of commercial and
industrial activity.

become an all too certain refuge for
the guilty.
To remedy the abuse, the commit
tee recommends that no writ OF error
returnable in criminal cases to the SUI
preme court be allowed unless the
justice at that court shall certify that
there is cause t believe that the de-
PENDANT was u~njustly convicted. The
committee proposes this remedy to pre-
vent the granting Of appeals based
upon mere technicalities and upon err
rors of trial judges in trifling points of
procedure and the like which do not
affect the question of guilt or limo
cence.
Mr.. Taft made a similar recon-
mendation in his address, but he went
further and asked for changes which
would expedite the disposition of civil
cases, in which the amount involved Is
small. The committee of the Bar as
ISOLATION confines its recommendations
to criminal cases, but the adoption of
the reform in that respect would be
certain to exert a wholesome influence
in correcting other abuses of court
procedure. Any proposition to end
delays and reduce the cost OF litiga-
ton is worthy of the favorable ron
sideration of the American Bar asso-
citation.

RESPONSE TO MACEDONIAN CRY
Candidate Bryan and the Great Dollar
Contributor.
Chioapn ENnpnIpar

Chicago Examiner.
The suggestion of a popular dollar
campaign fund, made early in the Bryan
campaign and quickly followed by a
Macedonian cry for more dollars, has not
met with the success so brilliant an idea
seemed to warrant.
= II was a great thought. At once Mr..
Bryan, not to mention Chairman Mack,
saw the dollars pouring in. So many demo-
cratic votes, so many dollars. Let others
strike the plutocrats, the corporations, the
trusts, II they would. A million democrats,
81 100000. Three million democrats, SO, 200. 600.
Even the leftover Parker fund was a
bauble in comparison.
But somehow the dollars did not pour.
The sturdy follower of Organism, to whom
a dollar was presumably the merest in
d~lcation of good feeling, declined, forgot
or neglected to part with it. Not that he
may have loved Bryan the less, but evil
IDENTIFY he loved a dollar more-a fine, sound
American dollar, worth 100 cents and a
good thing to carry in ones purse or
trousers pocket.
1t had been urged that this was to be
a campaign of cheerful and honest con-
tribution, a poor mans campaign, a cam.
paign of love and 81 contributions, defying
the bloated corporations and appealing to
the poor but patriotic wage Garner. And
from this desirable and influential source
the expectant Mr.. Bryan already saw the
dollars leaping on their frolicsome way to
the democratic treasury.
Mr.. Bryan was not altogether wrong.
This is indeed a campaign of the poor and
intelligent wage Garner. 1t is a campaign
in which the dollar-a-day man is vitality
interested. But If results and indications
speak with any accuracy it is not. and is
not going to be, a campaign where the man
with the dollar is prepared to lavish 1t in
furtherance of Mr.. Bryan's aspirations. His
eyes are not set steadfastly in that di-
rection.
Ninety-six dollar men have responded
to the suggestion and the Macedonian cry
in Nebraska. Another great idea gone
wrong. Another experiment in sounding
human nature miscalculated. Mr.. Bryan
appears to have made a mistake in figur-
ing out the component parts OF his follow
ing.

CURE FOR THE LAWS DELAT.
Going we'll with Mr.. Taft's demand
for greater expedition in the admins
tration of justice is the recommended
ton to be made by the committee of
the American Bar association to stop
the interjection of purely technical
points to defeat the ends of substan-
tial justice.
At its approaching meeting two
special committees will report on sub
jects previously assigned to them.
One will deal with plans for a revision
of the code OF legal ethics, the report
OF which was made public a few weeks
ago. The other committees report,
just given out, deals with the granting
OF appeals on purely technical points,
This committee follows very closely
along the lines suggested by Mr.. Taft
in his recent address to the Virginia
Bar association. II expresses the be-
lief that the one evil which seems the
most serious is the tendency OF many
jurisdictions 10 dispose of appeals or
writs of error, both in civil and crimi-
nal cases, upon technical grounds
rather b a upon their merits. Thi5,
