CONSERVATISM NECESSARY.

The situation is still one that calls
for conservatism in business opera
lions. Neither at home nor abroad Is
there any abatement Of the social and
political unrest which Is at the bot
tom of present business inertia. This
unrest, as everyone knows. has BEEN
seriously aggravated by the continued
high cost Of living. Food prices have
risen still higher during the last few
weeks. both at home and abroad,
owing to partial crop failures arising
from the extreme heat and drouth
OF last summer. Prices Of nearly all
of the necessities of life are high,
since in few instances is there any.
thing like an adequate supply to meet
the requirements Of increased popula.
ton. In a few cases. says Henry
Clews, commodities have declined
markedly, particularly cotton and
steel. where supply greatly exceeded
demand. We now hear less and less
about the increase Of gold as fac
tor in high prices. and In this connec.
ton It is worth while noting that the
worlds production in 1910 amounted
to $454, 7OO. 900. compared with $45A.-
100000 in 1909. an insignificant in.
crease. So good an authority As Direc
tor Roberts OF the mint thinks there
is longer any reason for uneasiness
over the gold situation. He believes
that no further import mt increase Of
supply is in sight and that with grow.
ing population and increased absorb
ton of gold its inflationary effect has
probably reached high water mark.
II this theory proves correct it means
that producers. especially farmers.
must increase their product in order
that the relations between supply
and demand become more normal. and
We shall then have some relief in sight
from the present high cost Of living.
which. as already said. has had so
much to do with public distemper.
At home the political situation con-
tinues the chief deterrent to renewed
activity. This disturbing influence
must probably be endured until the
political horizon becomes more clear.
Some uneasiness has been shown at
the prospect Of investigating the So
called money trust" but this has been
lessened by hope that the investiga-
ton will be postponed until after cleo

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-Arkansas held
its accustomed place in the Demo
cratic column, giving the Wilson
and Marshall electors a plurality
which, it is expected, will be in
excess of that given the Democratic
ticket in 1908. In spite of the fact
that the ticket in this state was short
and the counting consumed compare
lively little time, the returns were
slow in coming in from the country
districts This is accounted for by
the fact that the campaign aroused
less interest in Arkansas than in other
states where the contests have been
closer. 1t probably will be several
days before the complete returns are
available.
Col Roosevelt showed unexpected
strength in Arkansas and the indiea-
tons are that he will run far ahead
OF Taft throughout the state. In Lit
tie Rock and Pulaski county the Bull
Moose candidate made an impressive
showing, running about 600 votes
ahead of Taft He also led Taft in
Hot Springs, Helena and other cities,
from which complete returns have
been received.
The returns indicate that in addi-
ton to the election of the Democratic
electors by a plurality that probably
will exceed 10000 the Democratic

elected in the first and sixth districts,

Owing to. the fact that the election
of the Democratic electoral ticket was
conceded, interest in the election in
this state centered chiefly in the size
of the plurality given the Wison-Mar
shall ticket and the comparative
strength shown by Taft and Roosevelt.

New Orleans, Nov. 6.-Returns from
today's election show that the Demo
cratic ticket has carried the state by
a good plurality over both the Repub
lican and Progressive nominees and
Louisianas vote in the electoral col
lege will be cast for Wilson and Mar
shall.
Returns from all over the state in
dictate that Wilson has carried Louis
lana by about 10000 plurality. Roose
velts vote is larger than had been
expected and he is running far ahead
of Taft.
The fate of large number of con
stitutional amendments which were
submitted at this election was of more
interest in this state than the vote on
the national tickets as there was lit
tie doubt about the success of the
Democratic electors.
The amendments that excited the
greatest interest were those proposing
a complete revision of the revenue
laws of the state. These amendments
were adopted by the General Assembly
at a special session held in September,
Hard fights have been made for and
against the amendments throughout
the state and the result has been
awaited with great interest. The
early returns show a comparatively
close vote ON the amendments and are
too meager to show conclusiyely
whether or not they have been
adopted
The Democratic nominees for con-
gress had no opposition in any of the
eight districts. The nominees for con-
gress on the Democratic ticket were as
follows. First district, Albert Estop.
inal. second Garland II. Dupre; third,
X. F. Broussard; fourth, John T. Wat.
kins: fifth, Walter Elder; sixth, Lewis

The size of the vote secured by
Roosevelt and Johnson was the most
uncertain thing about the election in
this state and was responsible for
contest than is usually shown in gen,
eral elections in Louisiana. This was
one of three southern states which
were claimed by the Progressive ma.
tional leaders to be doubtful but this
claim was not taken very seriously
by the Democratic leaders. The Pro
gressives made a vigorous campaign,
