The Commercial national bank of Chicago has issued an elaborate "crop report and review of business conditions" based on replies to in- quiries made of over 1000 bankers, business houses and crop authorities in all the states Of the West and South, together with answers from bankers and business houses in the large cities of the East. It is found that the yield of the great cereals this year constitutes bumper record" and this "best all-round crop ever produced in this country" comes at an opportune time. The wreckage of the panic has been cleared away; the apprehensions which it aroused have disappeared, and our people are facing the future with an optimism and courage born of knowledge of the wonderful re- sources of this country. Shelves are bare of surplus goods and the coun- try has grown up to its facilities and equipment. It is recognized that the prices of all farm products, which have reached in recent months the highest general level known, have been oppressive to the consumer and the cause of much discontent, but the food crops of 1909 are so gener- ous in their proportions that a noticeable decline in the cost of liva ing may be expected, while the farm. CT will make up in quantity what he loses in price, and continue to be as good a customer as heretofore" All of us will welcome the coming prosperity with open arms, but the average man will be a little skepti- cal about the decline in the cost of living.

THAT TELEPHONE BILL FIGHT.


 session of Tuesday out to a point beyond the limit" but incidentally tested the good faith of the House, established a point of House cour- tesy," and emphasized the feeling among some of the House members that state of war exists between the Senate and the House. Incident ally, too, it gave the irrepressible and persistent Newtown representa- tive, Johnson, an opportunity to still further strengthen his position as a House leader with a following. Johnson admitted that he, as well as others, had been hoodwinked by former motion to adhere to former action in the passage of the tele- phone rate bill which the Senate haI turned dgwI. The confusion resulted from the distinction be- tween adhere and insist" which latter word would permit of con- mittee of conference and futher con- sideration of the bill. He moved reconsideration of the resolution to mecall, but was ruled out of order. He then moved that A committee he appointed to recall the recall from the Senate. His motion was carried by vote of 110 to GA, and the chair named Messrs Johnson and Forster as the committee. These gentlemen went ot the Senate Eafter the resolution, but could get no attention from that body, which was engaged in the discussion of the public utilities bill, and wouldn't drop It. The committee returned and reported. The House had by that time disposed of practically all its business and was ready to ad- journ. As adjournment would end all hope of reoonsidering the original resolution, MT Johnson pleaded with the House for fair play, and said he would rely on the honor of the House to remain in session till the resolution could be brought in. Then he made another pilgrimage to the Senate chamber. Immediately the young gentleman from East Wind sor moved to adjourn, which brought MT Ogden to his feet with a protest against such an insult to a member who had put the House on it's honor, and a scorching side-swipe at the Senate's lack of courtesy. The motion to adjourn was withdrawn. It took two recesses and a lot of par liamentary hot air to hold the f1UuoS III oSoolOu llll JOiluoOu lC- turned, triumphant, with his reso- lutions, and the motion to reconsider was made, with motion to table it. Thus the matter was rescued for further consideration, and thus Johnson added a number of leaves to his laurel wreath as a persistent and effective fighter. It was his most famous victory of the session. MT Johnson is confident that the rate bill will again pass the House, and that it stands a show of going through the Senate, on his repre- sentation that the original support CTS of the bill had been induced not to appear to favor it as the com mittee hearings, by promises from the telephone company that their in dividual grievances against the service would be remedied if they would drop the fight.-[Hartfort Post.
