Looks of Things

The conditions at Washington
with regard to the tariff are daily
making the Democrats more conf
dent of the next hoHse. and the
more sanguine are even looking
forward to the presidency. Thous.
ands of letters have been received
10y the congressman from tbeis con-
stituents con6elnning the tariff bill
as II has been passed. All the rep
reser atives have no hope from the
senate, but that body is likely to
make the bad features worse. The
Pay ue bill, the deficit, and the issue
of bonds that are necessiated by
the deficit are counted upon to kill
the republican majority, and many
of the republican members them
selves are counting on losing their
reat at the next election.
Conditions IN a number of Re-
publican states looks very favorable
fol the Democrats. Indiana Is al
ready democratic, aud the Republi-

ic and Minnisoia seems even more
OF certainty for the party.
Most pleasing to the Democrats
are the conditions in New York
Governor Hughs is daily making
himself and ms party more unpopu-
lar by his too radical reforms. The
people are ready for reforms, want
them and need them; but Governor
Hughes has gone to the exhemes in

\ GOOD IDEA
The Daily Telegraph says:


THE new administration has ia
ken charge, and in doing so appoint
ed s. y. Worley commissioner of
finance, one OF the most important
positions on the Board of Affairs. A
statement of the receipts and dis
bursements OF the past year should
be issued, that all may kAow how
Mr.. Worley starts out and what has
been done by the old administra-
ton"
The Evening Leader heartily en-
dorseS the idea. We feel sure the
retiring administration will invite
the most careful scrutiny, and will
welcome the publication of full,
accurate statement of the condition
OF the city as il was year ago ana
as il now is II IS due the retir-
ing administration to show how
faithfully it has fulfilled its pledges,
and II is due to Mr. Woriey in or
der, that he may make a proper
showing. The Leader has confidence
In the absolute integrity OF Mr.. Wor-
ley and it trusts that he ny develop
into most efficient city servant.
He lacks experience. but ne is man
OF brain and enegry AMI will give
the position the careful study i'm
portant to success. For the sake of
the old administration. as we'll as
the new, let us have the statement
The taxpayers are entitled to it
anyway.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT.

The Roanoke Evening World is an
optlmist. 1t is always talking good
shines" and trying to impress its
readers with confidence in the flu
ture business. For two years the
World has had much to discourage
it in the actual conditions prevail
ing but in an editorial last evening 1t
presents facts and figures that can
noe be disputed, and which ought to
put new life and energy into the
most Respondent. The railroads are
business barometers and when they
substantial Improvement all along
the line. The prosperity OF the Nor
folk and Western means much to
this section, and we call particular
attention Of those who are pessimis-
tic to the figures taken from the rec
ords OF the company. Cheer up:
better times are in store.
Increase in passenger, mail AMI
express earnings. 10 per cont.
Increase in freight earnings, %
per cent.
Increase in total earnings. 81 per
cent.
Increase in operating expenses.

Increase in net earnings, "a per
cent
IF the adage about figures not
telling lies still applies, the above
from the April statement OF the
Norfolk and Western, in comparison
with the statement OF April, 1908, is
indicative of return OF better bust
hess on very substantial basis.
That the situation is in line with a
gradual betterment over most of
the country Is shown by the report $
or increases In earnings on the rail
roads generally. That business inn
prove over March of this year Is
also shown in the statement for that
month, in which the above items
showed respectively s, 22, 20, 10
and 40 per cent.
Everywhere the cheering music
of industry's moving wheels is be-
coming more evident. Railroads
have been buying equipment and
supplies, and this buying has TO a
large extent been the cause OF re.
sumption OF work in the big indus
trial plants. In turn othe~ buying
has been done for increased build
ing construction and other forms of
activity. With this Industrial re-
vival has come new energy in the
trade marts, so that the whole land
is bettered. To a great MANY the
tariff is still a bugbear, atnough F.
II. Hartman, before sailing for Eu-
rope yesterday, said he Didn't think
the tariff legislation would be of
much importance. Good weather
and good crops will have a much
greater effect on business than the
tariff, he said and he optimistical y
declared that the business of the
country is now on a very substan
tial basis Incidentally, Mr.. HarrI-
man gave an interesting personal
expression on the recent panic when
he said:
There was no necessity for the
1907 panic. That panic was directly
caused by the extraordinary Lands
decision and the general attitude
prevailing at the time against the
railroads and corporations generally.

IL further evidence of the rapid ex-

1t IS furnished by the report Of the
steel corporation for the third quar-
ter, and the appropriation of So

which shows the confidence shown in
the steady growth of business in the
future. The leading railroads CON
tlnue to make liberal purchases in
needed equipment.
The maintained high price Of wool
and cotton and complications to the
merchandising of textiles and tend to

new high records, and most Of the
active months selling about IA IL
cents on sensational bulIish estimates
Of the crop and reports that planters
were heading for higher prices. Both
southern and western bulls were cred
tied with being aggressive buyers at
times during the day. December cot
ton sold as high as 14.47 and May at
1853 during the afternoon. Realizing
caused slight reaction later but the
market closed very steady and from
3 to 20 points net higher. Two prom
inent southern authorities issued eSti-
mates of the crop, one placing it at
10, 20, 900 and the other at O,520,-
