said veteran official OF the Trea-
sury Department, that much time and
labor would be saved by creating IN
one of the several departments, bu-
reau to which all letters from the peo-
pie seeking public Information might
be addressed SO as TO insure the let
ter reaching the right department.
You would be surprised to see the
large number Of letters that are daily
received by the departemnts asking
for information which comes under the
jurisdiction OF another department.
The writer by reason of addressing the
wrong official, Jumps on" the admin
istration for not promptly answering
correspondence in public matters.
A bureau such as | suggest would
prove of value not alone to the people
at large but to the government. 1t
would facilitate the handling of CORE
spondence, which increases as the
country grows. and the average letter
would be handled but once instead OF
going through the hands of several
clerks as now required.

but for the farmers. They were seiz-
ed and flooded Congress with petit
lions practically demanding that the
farmers. who produced the wealth OF
the country. be given representation
in the cabinet.
When the farmers unite on legis.
lation they usually get IL. In 1889 the
department of agriculture was created.
and Commissioner Coleman, of Mis-
souri, was promoted to the secretary
ship. From the day the bureau as
sumed the dignity Of an executive de-
partment that day the work OF the
department began to expand. and with
II the appropriations began to graw.
Fran million dollars the depart
ment's budget now exceeds $4,000
900 annually. Under the administra-
ton of Secretary Wilson who has been

But In addition to promiting farming
and increasing the value OF farm lands
the department of agriculture looks
after the health OF the consuming pub

Secretary Wilson and his lieutenants
never sleep when suspicion is afloat
that some manufacturer Is putting on
the market misbranded and adulter-
ated food product, or a patent cureall
medicine that is lacking in virtue OF
qualities. One feature, perhaps the
strongest card of Mr.. Wilson's admin
istration Is literary bureau. With
the assistance OF a corps OF experts
he supplies the farmers of the country
with the latest and most up-to-date lit
erature on specialized farming and
tells them how to raise two bushels of
potatoes where only one was raised be-
fore. The secret of his stay in the
cabinet is easily explained. He under
stands the farmer. and the farmer is
the power behind the throne. The

partment exceeds. 1t is said. the mail

shortages in other directions. 1t Is
also to be noted with satisfaction that
the wheat yield is turning out much
better than at one time expected. The
poor condition of cotton is an old
story and has been amply discounted.
The worst feature regarding the crop
situation is its effect upon our for
eign trade We should have had much
larger exports of agricultural products
this coming year In order to restore
our trade balance to normal proper
tions and to strengthen our credit
abroad. Evidently we will not be able
to depend upon exports to accomplish
this desirable result: the July state

depression here is likely to check i'm
ports. and by such means we may at
least partly recover our loss OF sur
plus exports. Fortunately we have
been able to command European gold
because foreign takings OF ouru Sc
curities in the last six months more
than made good the loss OF commod-
ity shipments.
In business circles q very quiet and
conservative tone prevails. Some slack
ening in the demand for merchandise
at the hands of distributors is observ-
able, but no serious reaction. Manu-
facturers are moving cautiously and
in some lines of industry there has
been considerable lessening Of activity.
The iron trade has taken fulul share
of depression, due partly to lessened
purchases by railroads and also to
falling of in building operations, the
latter being estimated as much as %
per cent II all accounts prove true
depression has been keenest in struc-
tural lines. Our great textile indus
tries are quiet, but not unduly de-
pressed. The political situation con-
fuses business men to some extent, be-
cause they especially dread reopen
ing of the tariff question this coming
winter Upon the whole, however,
there is no longer any special cause
for anxiety regarding the business out
look. The general situation as a re-
suit of recent liquidation is much
sounder, and as soon as harvest is
over trade should again become nor

On the stock exchange a decidedly
better feeling prevails. Prices have

this be done quietly and gradually
rather than violently. This process

and if a few additional weeks of rest
can be endured by the impatient COM
mercial spirit of the country it will be
10 the advantage OF all concerned.
While the general situation is not
without drawbacks and uncertainties,
the tendency is certainly towards i'm
provement. The rest cure is at last
producing positively beneficent re-
suits. especially in the money mar
ket. Not long ago there was well
founded apprehension. both at home
and abroad. that a serious money
squeeze would develop this fall. For
tunateiy. however. such apprehensions
have already undergone considerable
modification. Extensive liquidation in
stocks, contraction in loans, conser-
vatism of bankers. liquidation in COM
modites, slackness n trade, liberal i'm.
portations of gold and continued ris-
ing OF bank reserves have all contrib
uted to afford real and perfectly nat
ural relief to the monetary situation.
1t was feared that, owing to the large
land and grain speculation in the west.
the interior banks would not be able
to finance the crops this season with
out unusual assistance from Eastern
bankers; but for the reasons just stat
ed these fears have considerably di-
minished. Some stringency is OF
course to be expected, and better
rates for money will probably rule
during the crop-moving season, yet
there is now no reason to anticipate
serious consequences. In all probable.

New York. Aug. 1s.-"I didn't fight
Al Kaufman simply because didn't
have time to get into shape" said Sam
Langford, the Boston tar baby, today,
explaining the Philadelphia fiasco.
Suppose l should happen to lose a
newspaper decision over there be-
cause of bad condition. I'd never get
a crack at Jack johnson. He's putin
difficulties enough in my way. Why
doesn't he ask $4,000 on the side
from Kaufman. Burns. O'Brien or Ket-
chel? He weighs 40 pounds more
than l do. l weigh only that much
more than Abe Attell or Ad Wolgast,
and I'll bet all the money in the
world at to l that l can beat them"
Langford appears as good humored
as bear with sore paw. He says
all the world is against him.
Kaufman still holds the center of
interest. however, by reason of his def
mite substitution for Ketchel in the
match with Bill Lang, the Australian
heavyweight. Billy Gibson Of the
Fairmont club has changed the bill
officially. as forecasted yesterday by
the National News Association.
Two hopes of the white race will
meet when the San Franciscan and
the Boshter get into the ring.
Hugh Mcintosh. the Australian pro-
moter backing Lang said today that
Lang would be the next white man to
face Johnson. Mcintosh who hurried
from England on the Lusitania to be
at the ring side last night, when the
ketchel-Lang fight was scheduled, has
gone to his proteges camp in Connect
cut.

Washington. Aug. l3.-Advocates of
. parcel post delivery are preparing to
push this scheme before the House
committee on postoffice and postroads
at the beginning OF the session OF Con
Eress In December. During the last
session Of the House this committee
had hearings on the several bills to
establish parcel post. but beyond a
reference Of the matter to sub-com-
n\'tce for further investigation, no
sc\1n was taken.
Officials Of the postoffice depart.
ment say that II would add bit little

should Congress authorize n parce,
post. as the department now has all
the facilities for handling small pack
ages such rs would be sent Indeed,
some OF the officials say that under
existing law a parcels post could be
established by executive order. But
the advocates OF the scheme say that
the better plan would be to authorize
the department to carry small pack.
ages by law. Then express companies
could not charge usnrpation Of pow
or on the part of the postoffice.
Representative Victor Murdoch, Of
Kansas, who IL making the fight for
. parcels post. says that II Ii clear that
under existing law the postoffice de-
partment has the right to carry small
packages. just as II has the right to
transport large bundles Of newspapers

Kansas statesman In a recent letter
to friend here says that when the
small country dealer comes to under
stand that a parcels post Is not a dis
elimination against him In favor OF
the large dealer In the city. there will
he no further opposition to the pro-
posed plan. and the demand for the re-.
CURED legislation will be practically
unanimous.
II used to be said that Of all the
