POLITICAL DRIFT.

Norman Mack's democratic magazine is
to be decorated with a portrait of Thomas

Some Texans are wondering what they
will do with all that oil money. BY the
time counsel for the plaintiff and the state
house crowd get through with It, there
will be no occasion for perpleXity.
Senator Chauncey Depew, starting on
the last quarter of his century run, gives
no heed to the suggestion that he is ripe
enough to adorn private life. If the sug-
gestion was conveyed to him by a bunch Of
lively Young Turks, perhaps-but whats
the use? New York is not Saloniki.
Pittsburg congratulates itself on the
strength of its moral uplift, which has
secured the seventh conviction in the
municipal graft cases. The last victim is
H. NJ. Bolger. who solicited the money with
which the wheels Of legislation were
CREASED.
The recall mayor of Los Angeles is in
danger OF getting his neck I'm the recall
halter. According to reports from the cap
ital OF the ozone belt, the mayor found the
city civil service commission an effective
road roller, responsible only to the con-
tractors push button. AS an exemplar Of
civic purity the mayor could not tolerate
discrimination at the pie counter and sent
the commission and the road roller to the
political junk pile. The mayor proposes
constructing a machine Of his own design,
whereat the bounced roar and threaten

THAT OLD RED BARN.

I've wandered to the homestead, Jim;
I've seen the old rcd barn,
Where you and I, In boyhood dim,
Once played with "Gee!' and Darn
The loft, them times. was sweet with hay.
The sunbeams sianted through,
And from their stalls the white and bay
Would nicker, How de do?'
There amt no Prince nor Whitley. lad;
There amt no bloomin' stalls:
There amt no harness, good and bad,
A-hangin' on the walls.
There ain't no hay up in the NOW
There amt no musty scent.
They keep their gasoline there now
I'm sorry, jim, ! went,
There amt no place to romp and hide;
1t amt a haru no more.
It's a garage, all slicked inside,
With regular cement floor!
Them obweb soft that used to swing.
Them specks that used TO flot--
They're gone. There's not en- old thing,
Not cen a single oat!
Where Jed, the hired man, dumped round
With fork or broom or comb
An oily. tink rim char ] found
Had made ! isself to home.
He looked so strange, where Jed had been!
A leather suit he wore,
And carried off the blame machine
A-lsyin' on that floor!
It's changed, old pard. They've cleaned

Nor yet a mouse can play!
/ wonder how those kids who live
Where's such q bleak consarn
Can get along; and what they'd give
To have an old red barn.

max a comparison over a ten years in
terval as fair as possible we will average
three years at the beginning and end Of
the period. The average production. then,
for the years 1se6-7-s was 2,545, o00.0OO bush
els, and for the years l9Oe-7-s It was 1854
OoO.0OO. Here lie an increase OF 7O9, 600 900
bushels, so that even If the estimated in
creased need OF 5000. 900 bushels annually
is too low the increased production has
been much in excess of any probable in.
crease in consumption. TIL crop OF 1907
was less than that of each of the two
previous years; let us assume. therefore,
that there was little or no wheat carried
over to 1908; II we compare the single year
1905 with 1895 we find that the increased
production is 2S2.0ooyOO0 bushels.
Beeebohm gives the worlds visible sup
ply OF wheat April !, 1909, at $4,000 BUSH
els above the supply of a year ago and
100000 above the average at that date for
ten years. Even supposing that the excess
sive supplies OF some previous years have
been consumed in the last two, we fail to
see and statistical basis for great alarm
over wheat on hand less than two months

An analysis OF the latest ma
tional bank statements cannot but
be gratifying to those concerned
in the growth n progress o.
Omaha. The call Of the comp
troller was totally unexpected at this
time and the showing, therefore, is
that Of an assuredly normal condition,
for the banks had no time to put their
houses in order. even were they so dis
posed. It was only a few years ago
that Omaha was pluming itself that
one of its banks showed deposits ex-
ceeding the ten million mark, but
three OF them have now passed that
figure by a most substantial margin
and the total deposits OF the national
banks are in excess of $4,000. 600,
with an increase of S4,79O,OO0 since
the February statement and $6,424,-
600 over one veal ago.
Taken in connection with the
weekly clearing house reports, the
bank statements are a most reliable
index of the business conditions of the
city and tributary territory whose
business passes through the local
banks. Measured by either or both
standards the comparison will stand
against any other section of the
try Of equal population. The sound
ness of the banks reflects the sound
ness of the agricultural and industrial
pursuits of the west as wealth pro-

Where America Leads.

The farmer in America has been no
~toriously behind the farmer in Europe
In making the most of his opportuni-
ties. With a virgin soil he has drawn
against the future until the yields
have commenced to decrease, while the
farmer of Europe has raised more per
acre on naturally poorer land which
has been farmed for centuries. The
thoughtful and. ~farseeing in America
have taken note of the inevitable re-
suit and with characteristic energy
have set to work to solve the prob
lens of the future, science being far in
advance of its practical adoption.
So great have been the achieve
ments of II scientific agrtculturists
and plant breeders that they have at
tracted the attention OF, foreign gov
ernments, which are continually send
ing their experts over here TO observe
and study the work. Germany is par
ticularly active in this direction, every
year detailing men of the highest at
tainments TO, visit the United states
there now being a party Of this kind
| starting in with the eastern agricul-
tural schools and intending to work
their way west.
The American farmer has been par
TALLY aroused, but if he does not keep
moving the European will take advan-
tage of American scientific research
as soon as he does.

Beerbohm's computation OF the worlds
wheat crops shows that the crop Of last
year was only an infiritesimal amount
below that OF the year before. II was de-
ficient by a somewhat larger margin COM

washington HOHl,
In a democratic house of representatives
largely d~emocratic-in 1884, Samuel j.
Randall, of imperious will and consum-
mate leadership, could muster but forty
two of his party to vote to strike out the
enacting clause of the Morrison bill OF the
Forty-eighth congress. The Randall forces
were less than one-fourtli his party.
How is it now in a republican congress?
In the consideration of the Payne hill no
less than 102 democrats voted for pro,ec-

that is to say, the 1O2 were for rrotec-
zion for their districts and opposed TO it
in other districts. The late David Turnie,
in debate Will tho late Senator Mitchell
Of Oregon, hazarded the opinion: you
can't run a government on conundrums:'
but how are you going to run a party by
extorting protection for Nhat you have to
sell and demanding free trade in that you
have to. buy? It Is easier TO make a gov
eminent out of conundrums-if you had q
Socrates to boss 1t.
How can a democrat from Florida, who
demands protection for citrus fruits. re-
fuse protection when asked for by a re
publican from Massachusetts for a kit Of
mackerel? How can a Texan, who votes
for protection for wool, refuse the Yankee
who makes blankets, protection for his
product? And so through the chapter, II
It is sound doctrine to protect one thing

No one need worry about the pro-
fessional abilities of George w. Craig,
running for city engineer on the re-
publican ticket. He is a member of
the American Society of Civil En-
gineers, whose doors open only to men
in high standing in their profession.
Mr.. Craig's membership rests on his
experience and ability in designing and
constructing municipal public works.

ample, that to build a filtering plant

issue of water bonds contemplate pro-
viding money to pay off accrued by
drant rental, which already amounts
to $4,000 Another issue OF bonds

Greenleaf for CITY Clerk.

The republican nominee for city
clerk, Sam X. Greenleaf, is conceded
to be entirely competent to fill the
place. He has served in a subordinate
capacity in the city clerks office and
has learned the routine of the work
performed there. He is active and
alert and when elected may be de-
pended on to attend strictly to bust
ness, Mr.. Greenleaf showed his popu-
larity by winning out in the republican
primary against two of the strongest
candidates who ever went to the front
in competition for that office and the
same vote-getting ability then dis
played ought to make him a sure win
ner at the coming election when he
goes up against the present democratic
city clerk.
