ROBERT n. HOFFECKER,
Editor and Business Manager

The depression of Presidential
Years. of which we hear so much, is
discovered in no important table OF
statistics except one-the record of
commercial failures. Go back to
1884. the time Cleveland beat Blain.
There were in that year 10, 968 fail
ures. with liabilities of more than
1925, 900, 900 as against 9. 184 failures
with liabilities of S172, 900, 600 for
the preceding year. In 1888 there
were thousand more failures than
in 1887 but the liabilities were
smaller by $40, 900, 900. The year
1892 is an exception, as the failures
were fewer in number and less in
amount than in either 1891 or 1893.
In 1896-well, here is good place
for little history. The "Presi-
Dental year" business scare has
appeared on schedule every four
years for nearly century, but it did
not assume its present proportions
until 1896. In that year a great
many business men honestly and
sincerely believed that the election
of Bryan over Mckinley would mean
silver standard and ruin. Out of
the earnestness of that campaign
proceeded the huge scare that has re-
vived in every succeeding qusdrenni-
back to the record of
commercial -fahnres. In 1896 there
were Is, 088 failures, a record never
exceeded but in two years, 1893 and
1908. The liabilities were 1926, :
O95, S34, record exceeded only three
times, in 1873, 1878 and 1893-none
of them election years-and equaled
only by the election year of 1884.
In 1900 and 1904 the failures were
only slightly in excess of the
preceding years, and it was not un-
til the last Presidential year, 1908,
that they again exceeded the nor.
NAL. In the latest campaign year
the failures were Is. $50, or more
than in 1896, while the liabilities
were over 1922. 900, 900. or within
1000. 900 of the record of 1896.
To repeat, the only set of statistics
showing Presidential years at a dis
advantage in business are those o!
commercial failures. And hest
show that the worst years were 1895
when there was a close fight between
Mckinley and Bryan, and 1908, wheI
Taft's triumph over Bryan was uni
versally conceded among busines
men. Is it not barely possible tina
the bad records of those two year
are to be charged to the panics tina
preceded them? is asked by Hamp
toms Magazine. And, in view 0
the fact that in both of these year
actual business operations wer
greater in volume and represente
more money than in the years in

to infer that some of these failure
were caused by the contraction {

Good Roads A Paying Investment

Within the last five years evidence has
mot been lacking OF marked growth in
the strength Of the movement for good
roads. Every part Of the country has felt
the impulse II is hardly to be denied
that the increased use Of the automobile
has been largely responsible for this de-
Fvelopment of public sense Il is equally
true that the enthusiasm has not been
confined. byfany means, to the city
bred owners of what not SO very long ago
was regarded as luxury used only by
the man Of means. able 10 CRAFTY every
passing within or fancy. The well-to do
farmers Of the country have come to
realize the value OF good roads quite as
much as the ur san dwellers who are fond
of developing boulevards and driveways
for the qualification of their taste for
speeding.
The hard-headed tiller of the sell fully
understand good dependable highway
Is far preferable to dirt road as a.source
OF financial profit II is said by those in a
position to speak authoratively that more
and more automobiles are being sold to
farmers as the mouths and years go by
which, of course, is an additional reason
why they should have added interest in
the subject of good roads. From the
Boston Globe. which is conducting q
vigorous campaign along the line Of i'm
proved highways in Massachusetts, we
learn that New England FARMERS have be,
come firm believers in good roads. 1t
adds that ssif there are any still uncon-
WINGED we desire to call their attention to
the tale of an agricultural in Wisconsin
told BY the State geoiogist. The man
had thousand bushels Of potatoes in the
cellar which be was holding for good
prices An offer of 90 cents came in
March, but, as be expressed it, the roads
were so bad that the only way ne could
get to town was by telephone. By the
time the roads drie ont he obtained only
80 cents bushel for his potatoes. Bad
roads cost that farmer over 5000, sum
much more than sufficient to have paid
his share Of the expense had all the main
highways of his county been improved. !"
This. II may readily be believed, is an ex-
ceptionaI case. Nevertheless. there is not
the possibility of doubt that bad roads
are real handicap to farmers not alone
in Massachusetts,, but everywhere. valu--l
able time is lost in driving over poor
roads. while the money expended on
broken wagons aud other equipment due
to that cause would provide good, smooth
