There IS little reason why the far

IMPROVEMENT EVERY
WHERE IN EVIDENCE

That there is a marked revival in
business activity throughout the
country cannot be questioned. II
is seen on every hand. The produc-
ton of iron is on a record-makine
basis with the probability that this
years output will be between TO-
100000 and 100000 tons, or the
largest in any calendar year in our
history. Prices have been advanc-
ing and iron concerns are begin
ming to make money. The demand
for steel products is so great that
the steel plants of the country are
crowded to their capacity, and
bonuses are being paid to secure
prompt delivery.
In the cotton goods market inn
provement is in evidence, and this
industry is in better shape than for
several years, both as to the vol
ume of the demand for cotton
goods and the margin of profit to
the mills. In fact, for two or
three years the balance-sheet of
most mills was on the wrong side,
but now many mills are making
fair earnings and are in very much
better shape financially and as to
the demand for their output.
After some years of depression
and improbable business the lum-
Der industry is picking up and, like
cotton and iron, it, too, begins to
show a much greater demand and
a much better financial condition.
The railroads of the country are
realizing that the traffic is growing
Eastern than their facilities. Here
and there are signs Of shortage of
cars, with a possibility of conges-
ton of traffic even before crops be-
gin to move freely. With a view
to meeting this situation and pre-
pairing for the future, railroads are
ordering heavily of locomotives
and cars, and the indications are
that the rolling stock builders will
have a larger volume of business
during the canning II months thar
they have had for four or five
years. Already locomotive plants
and car-building works are becom-
ing crowded. Railroads are like
wise ordering steel rails for mex
years delivery more freely thar
for several years, realizing TIN
necessity of improving their road
bed and of being prepared to NEE
the demand for extensions and bet
terments.

On some soils and under certain

profitable crop for the farmers IN
this section Of New York. On a
large proportion Of farms certain
fields are better adapted for the
growth of this crop than for other
grain and during many years when
the springs work is pressing there
are certain to be some fields that
cannot be seeded with oats, corn
and other crops that we grow IN
our regular rotations. Thus, IT is
essential that a catch crop be en-
ployed rather than SOW spring

The acquittal OF the Myrtle Hawkins sus-
poets in North Carolina ends bit Of criminal
pr ess agenting that is the more remarkable
because of the talent in this tine disclosed IN
an obscure mountain town. The entire coun-
try has been regaled for more than year with
accounts of the Myrtle Hawkins tragedy, with
arrests of suspects, with solutions and near
solutions of the mystery, with all the detail
and suggestion that can be excused only when
real interests are affected, or q really great
crime stands forth
4 On the contrary the fate of the Hawkins
girl was the fate of hundreds of young women
throughout the country. 1t deserved. at most,

city, it would have received it's ten lines and
been forgotten But to Hendersonville 1t was
an event, The town evidently held news

little to write about. Thus it happened that
Myrtle Hawkins, poor, obscure, insignificant
and weak, came into her pitiful fame.
A recent magazine article described the de-
yelopment OF the press agent to the point
where one of the most prominent OF the pro-
fession found it necessary to appoint a press
agent for himself. In many cases 1t Is wor-
thy profession. But when it reaches the stage
that the great papers be induced to carry
their columns, and the whole country to read
them, concerning rural scandal that ought
to have been heard and determined In days
trial; when State goes to the expense of an
extended murder hearing to aid the sensation;
when dozen attorneys break all oratorica
Marathons over one OF the most ordinary and
vulgar Of tragedies, ii Is time that we should
commence to devise plans in restraint of manu-
featured publicity. Myrtle Hawkins, for the
sake of the story, was invested with wealth"
and prominence" She was endowed with
social position" But the acquaintances who
| were tried for her murder were BARRIERS mani
curists and fortune telers. Outside of the

vent those who work for the city from serving
as election officers or on the standing committee
of the party, or from being in any way unduy
active. can have only the one tendency OF bet
tering the service by fixing the attention of the
city's servants more upon doing their work than
holding their Jobs. In so far as 1t is possible
to bring about state of affairs in municipal
government which will operate to take away
the club of political influence by which the
employee eompels his employment. such an
ordinance is most gratifying. In too many
ways In the past 1t has been made apparent
that the sentiment of the army of city servi-
tors has been that they had property in their
positions which they proposed TO defend by
Furnishing all who, for one reason or another,
questioned their title deeds to jobs that ought
to be given ON purely economical consideration.

tied decided awakening to laxities In govern

Administrative Board. This has proven valu-

more work done in better way, and at a
