Electoral Votes Next Year

Way back in May-to be exact. on May S--the House passed reappor- tionment bill. The Senate has held that bill month and not peep has been heard from it. It is, however, sitting on it and at some time no doubt it will be heard from. Even if the Senate does pass this bill it will not go into effect until March 3, 1913. and it will not therefore affect the electoral college of the 1912 cam paign Nothing can affect that col lege except the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as states, and the old guard does not propose to do that at the extra session.
 The electoral college will probably stand unchanged in 1912 We give the figures subject to the possible ad- mission of New Mexico and Arizona, as follows: Alabama, Il; Arkansas, g; California, 10; Colorado, 5; Con nectitut, 2; Delaware, 3; Florida, 5; Georgia, 13; Idaho, 3; Illinois, 27; In- diana, 15; Iowa, IS; Kansas, 10; Ken lucky, IS; Louisiana, 9; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 16; Michigan, IA, Minnesota, II; Missis- sippi, 10; Missouri, IS; Montana, B; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, 3; New Hamp-

HE FOUND OUT

From Answers, London
 The stars twinlkled as only stars can twinkle The moonbeams beamed as only the moonbeams can beam. The lovers sat and throbbed thrilingly as only lovers can sit and throb thrllingly.
 Suddenly as night owl snored above them. his overfiowing soul flowed over.
 "Muriel," he exclaimed waking the night owl from it's slumbers, T cannot what you see in me to lover
 The night owl hooted In disgust, and went to sleep again Even Muriel, as her soft eyes dwelt upon the planet Venus, looked little disappointed. But she knew he was too earnest to be fishing for a compliment, and she pressed his hand as she dreamiy replied:
 pear Artiel That's what they all say"

The Financial Situation

Henry Clews, in his Saturday review, says in part
 "A further broadening tendency has been shown in the financial situation this week. The market for Stock Exchange securities may now be regarded as nav ing reached the stage where it is per forming its usual function of discounting not alone the agricultural prospects but also the improvement in trade and in dustry that in turn will follow the sat- isfactory yields of our farm lands that are in prospect. On Thursday the gov ernment issued it's grain report, showing conditions as of June 1. As usual there was some deterioration in winter wheat during the month of May, but the outlook in view of the increased acreage this year is for an out-turn of approximately 4so COG, 900 bushels This, if fulfilled, will mean harvest that has not been equal ed since 1906. It is worth recalling that at this season the winter wheat crop is fairly well assured
 General business, it is true, has not yet shown appreciabe increase in volume, and the iron and steel industry seems to be awaiting to some extent on the re- suit of the congressional investigation, that is now in progress, of the position and influence of the United States Steel corporation. The market has been tenn porarily Influenced from time to time during the week by reports that the gov ernment had decided upon legal actions in connection with the operations of the Steel corporation. But these reports car red their own refutation in the fact that as long as the investigation was in prog ress and no report had been submitted bv the committee that is conducting 1t, it is highly unlikely that the department of justice would take definite steps in instituting new suits With the favor able harvest prospects, however, there is every reason to believe that a demand from consumers for the products of in- dustry will begin to make itself felt in the near future Stocks of goods in the hands of wholesale distributors are not large, and investigation In retail circles shows like condition. Therefore, when the consumer begins to purchase mer- chandise to meet his actual requirements he will be apt to start a movement in merchandise distribution that will prompt ly extend through the various channels from retailers to producer and not only will retail stocks have to be increased to normal proportions, but the various other channels which have been drawn upon in the day to day demand that has been the feature of the last few months will necessarily be readjusted to the ur- gency of consumers accumulated require ments This means, in its turn. sud den advance from present unsatisfactory mercantile conditions to distinct activity, for in due course the filling up to normal proportions of the various avenues of dis tribution must take place colncidently with the commencement of the actual de- mand. We have, therefore, in sight d period of mercantile and industrial ac- tivity which needs but slight encourag ge- ment to assume large proportions"

 Increasing Optimism
 "A few months ago there was bear ish feeling in the east. but now one hears bullish talk and sees sings of business activity" said w. T. Hartley of Boston.
 Business conditions in New Eng land are very good indeed, and within the past two weeks I visited New York and Philadelphia where 1 met more op- timists than usual The railroads have been prospering Their fiscal year ends the Soth of this month. and most of them will make fine showings. The fact that net earnings have been good, taken in, connection with the splendid crop outlook, conduces very naturally 10 general feeling that the last half of this year will witness marked pros perty in all directions. The iron mar ket is still low, but July will bring an improvement no doubt. l do not see how any industry can fail to thrive after the railroads get well started in buying needed material
 Regarding the Consumption of Liquor
 "Prohibitionists usually explain the increased consumption of liquor in the United States, as shown by the internal revenue receipts, by saying that in the great states of New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois where there is eompara- lively little restraint drinkers imbibe more freely now than ever" said temperate man who has never taken any stock in finaticai movements.
 Tt is doubtless true that the liquor traffic in the threeestates named stead fly increases, but prohibition statisti- clans must not lose sight of the fact that in the statutory prohibition states the consumption of liquor continues to be enormous Take Alabama for in- stance. where prohibition laws are more rigid than 1T other states. Even when the lid Is on tight in city like Bir- mingham the blind tiger traffic ir car ried on to some extent at least, and to offset the minimzed total of blind tiger stuff the stocks in private houses purchased in distant cities where pro- hibition does not obtain are larger than in former times In other words home drinking has increased. it is believed, at a rate proportioned to the decrease in the local retail traffic.
 "The moral effect growing out or changed conditions l will not under take to discuss, but knowing as l do that the volume of liquor sold in the United States is larger than it was 10 years ago I am inclined to think that a limited number of saloons strictly reg ulated are better for the morals Of cities than prohibition. Radical prohi- bition has proved a failure everywhere, or rather 1t has failed to accomplish the reform that was promised. The man who is inclined to abuse liquor will get it in spite of everything. Moral suasion Is the only way to make sober man of one who drNks to ex- cess. only the unsophisticated as a rllle believe to the contrary.
