We are now in a stage of the year
when conditions are least favorable to
activity. IL is vacation time, and the
number of absentees is large. Our
harvest still possesses some uncertain
ties. and it is the period between sea-
sons when commercial operations are
gen rally at minimum. Such con-
ditions are, of course, not calculated to
stimulate activity. Nevertheless, the
tendencies are towards improvement,
and the inertia which now exists i'm

needed to permit of readjustment and

The greatest betterment has been
in the monetary situation. owing to
recent pressure exerted by banks in all
parts OF the country. prospects of a
money squeeze this autumn which
once caused considerable apprehension
have now been reduced to a minimum.
At worst there is nothing to be fear
ed except possibly local and temporary
stringency when the crops move. The
Eastern banks have greatly strength

ed would be required a few weeks ago.
The Improvement in the local banking
situation has been so pronounced as
to discourage further gold imports.

Fred w. Corbett of LANSING the
Prohibition candidate for governor
has opened his campaign with a
scathing attack on Amos :. Mussel-
man, candidate for the Republican
nomination. Corbett spoke at Flint
and devoted his oratorical efforts to
an arraignment of Musselman and his
stand on the temperance question.
'Musselman is simply attempting 10
becloud the issue i'm order to poll the
temperance vote" declared Ccrbett.
What can Musselman's position on
the liquor traffic be? In his booklet
under the title local option he makes
a proposition. He declares he would
sign a resolution for the submission
of statewide prohibition 20 the poo
pie. If Mr.. Musselman is At all fam
liar with the duties of the office he
is anxious to fill he knows that the
submission of state wide prohibition
can only come through an act of the
legislature and made directly to the
people; the act will not have to be
signed by the governor.
In another paragraph Mr.. Mussel-
man states that he does not advocate
statewide prohibition at the present
time. He wants it known that he,
himself makes no boast of total alb
stinence. In other words, Mr.. Mussel-
man promises To do what he cannot
and he refuses to do what he can.
mir. Musselman also comes out
strongly for home rule and for gov
eminent by majorities. He would fav-
or each county exercising home rule
and settling the matter for itself The
home rule proposition has already
been proved a farce and a failure. Mr.
Musselman's stand on the PROPOSE
ton is similar to Douglass popular
SOVEREIGNTY Like Lincoln, say if
it is a good proposition we all want
ii and if it is not Il good proposition
we don't want it. Messrs Kelley and
Osborn have judiciously avoided the
prohibition question. but Mr.. Mussel-
man has unfortunately attempted TO |
toy with it for the purpose Of gather
ing the temperance vote"
