Purpose of Rhode Island Visit.

After talking the situation over with
members of his family, the senator went
to Rhode Island last Friday TO make the
necessary arrangements. He wanted to
confer with his Republican associates
and to insure a Republican succeeding
him.
And there is no doubt Of the re-
suit" be said. The party leaders have
canYassed the situation and d Republi-
can will take my place. All of my as
Soeiates in the state are as confident
as / on that score
It is a Well-knOwn fact it has been
the ambition of Mr.. Aldrich to crown
his legislative career with a thorough
reform of the currency system of the
government. II was with that end in
view he became the moving spirit in the
national monetary commission. He has
directed the work of that commission
since its inception and expects to con-
tinue mis- work along that line. al
though his retirement next March prob
ably VIII deprive him of the distinction
of having such currency legislation bear
his name.
There are now several former MEM
bers of Congress serving on the none
tary commission. 1t was formulated on
lines that contemplated continued serv-
ice of its original membership until
its work is completed. The foregoing
facts were brought out when Senator
Aidrich was asked what he intended
to do to supplant the present financial
system with an up-to-d law GOVERNS

possible to view HalIey's comet from
Salt Lake with the naked eye.
Heretofore that has been impossible,
although several persons have reported
that they thought they were able to
see il with the aid of the telescope.
Prof. Gibson surveyed the entire
field with Il telescope from O'Clock
Sunday morning until daylight, but the
comet could not be seen. He believes
another attempt would prove success
fuI.
A great deal OF interest - being taken
in the comet in salt Lake and there
has been serious discussion of the re-
port from several more or less prOmi-
nent ASTRONOMERS that the earth will be

through the tail OF the comet.
On that date the comet will be only

reaching its closest proximity TO this
planet Professor Frost of the Yerkes
observatory has found through eX-
periments that the comet shows pre-
dominant elements of sunlight in the
spectrOscOpe. This, he says, shows the
absence of the dangerous gases that
were present when the experimnts
were made last January and this leads
him to believe there is no danger TO
the earth on May IS.
Astronomers who nave studied the
history of the comet think the chances
for d brilliant display when 1t reaches
the western sky at night are good.
They point out that at the time of its
appearance in 1885 there were portions
of its orbit which showed no tail.

After Mr.. Aldrich has talked with Presi-
dent Taft and his close friends in the
Senate he expects to write a letter to Gov
ernOT Pothier of Rhode Island, setting out
in greater detail his reason for retiring.
That letter in all probability will be made
public.
Many of Mr. Aldrich's friends in the
Senate refused TO believe the report he
would not be candidate for reelection.

In spite OF the assurances of the
greatest astronomers that the chances
for any disaster to the earth when 1t

comet-if Halley's comet still has
talon May IS are SO slight as to be
practically nil. there still exists wide

comet
Strange theories and strange fears
concerning the comet have been adj

asters Of the year 1910 as evidence Of
the influence Of Halley's comet on the
earth
Comets always have been regarded
as harbingers of misfortune. The APP
pearance of a comet has been signal
for fears in people who have been
skeptical enough about other demon

forthcoming crop report
1t is at the crop reporting headquarters at
Washington that this scheme OF keeping watch
on the maturing cotton crop involves a task that
taxes human endurance. To convey an idea OF
it's magnitude 1t is only necessary to explain that
during the cotton growing season the statisticans
are in correspondence with more than sixty thous-
and public and private ginnertes and upward OF
fifteen thousand bankers, merchants and others
who are in a position to form opinions on the cot
ton yield The advices from all these volunteer
Intelligence officers" looked up as received
at Washington and kept closely guarded until the
day appointed for preparing the monthly report
Then the body of experts known the Crop Re-
porting Board is locked In a room and, taking all
the accumulated Information, goes over 1t and
prepares a general summary that embodies their
findings-the average as 1t were, OF all the re-
ports received from every quarter. Conditions may
vary greatly In different parts OF the country but
the general report will give the people of the
ton a birds eye view of the whole situation In
broad sense It is this report which at the APP
pointed hour is made public and inside OF a few
minutes is flashed to all parts of the country and
to foreign parts.

ing. Now 1t happens that 1t is only the national
government that has the necessary facilities for
keeping tab upon the progress and DEVELOPMENT
or each years cotton crop. Cotton Is raised in
so many states and over so wide an area that no
single firm or individual has the facilities for in
forming himself of the yield In all sections of
the cotton belt"
And yet accurate advance information as to
the state of the maturing crop is of the utmost
Importance to tens of thousands of American
citizens and other tens of thousands of people
over seas for, be 1t known, the whole world de-
ponds largely upon America for it's cotton The
business, commercial and financial world likes to
have peep ahead with reference to any agricul-
tural crop In order to make plans accordingly
but In the case of cotton such foresight is espe-
cially vital For, you understand, the condition
or q crop as reflected in the countrywide govern
ment reports tells everybody whether there Is to
be good yield a poor yield of cotton and
this In turn indicates to the grower whether he
will get high price low price for his fluffy
white product. And as the forecast hints to the
manufacturer whether he will get his cotton
cheap or not. so 1t signifies to him what he must
charge for the completed goods as It comes from
mills. And so all down the line TO the ultimate
consumer" the cotton crop reports carry In their
hidden meaning message OF low prices or high
prices.
