But If il be the true one: If the very pros

If prosperity depends upon the certainty of
Republican success. prosperity would be shak-

Is the panic? Why does it remain in hiding?
II Mr.. H1les and his imaginative ad writer's
are correct the country should now be In the
throes of industrial depression. IT is true
that prosperity is not equitably distributed,
the country is now prosperous. There is
much TO be done, but prosperity is as univer-
sal as it ever has been under Republican
administration and 1t ever can be. The

The business world has made up its mind
that Wilson will be elected. II knows that
tariff revision steadily and unhesitatngly
downward is inevitable. and yet We see no
signs OF crash. We no signs, for there
are none. There are no visions of soup-houses

THAT PANIC.

Staring defeat In The face and in desperate
straits for an issue with which TO appeal TO the
American pntifc for votes, President Tafr and
his managers are revamping the time-worn
cry OF business and industrial depression in
the event of the election OF Democratic
president. 1T is better 10 be safe than sorry
Is their cry the old, old cry of the sluggish
since the time of Adam II is the slogan of
every timid man. the slogan with which those
trying to stay the march OF events have
always used and which has always failed to
rally the hosts OF the obstructionists and
which will fail now.
One trouble with Mr. Taft, Mr. HIles and
their friends is that in predicting panic IN
case Of Tafts defeat they uncousciously and
irevitably contradict themselves, Pointing to
the panic OF 1898 TO prove that Democratic
success means Industrial crash they are met
with the facts OF history, TO wit: The panic
OF 1884 had its origin during Republican
administration and was Democratic heritage
rather than Democratic creation. The an

JUDGE SCOTT ADJOuRNS BODY
OVER TO MEET AGAIN ON
NOVEMBER 9Th.

Believing that il would be beneficial
to Henrico county 10 allow the tax
payers more time in which to make
proper tax returns, the special grand
jury yesterday in Henrico Circuit
court adjourned until November sth.
BY that time all who have not made
the proper corrections will be indicted.
The grand jury reconvened yester-
day morning and on going over the
revenue commissioners books 1t was
aseeftaiaed that more than sfee, etfe In
the valuation of property had been
added TO the returns. This shows
that large number Of residents of
the county had heretofore. either
through ignorance or carelessness,
made Illegal returns, but there are a
number yet who have failed 10 make
the proper corrections. !.
The grand jury adjourned about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and sub
rnitted the following report 10 Judge

rico Circuit Court:

follows
The special grand jury met today
and received corrections from those
taxpayers who. having made improper
returns, through ignorance or over
sight, desired to raise their figures.
The aggregate addition in incomes
and personal property has so far
reached 100000 in taxable values. In
view of the foregoing, and because
the undersigned believe that other
voluntary assessments will yet be
made. we respectfully petition your
honorable court to adjourn the special
grand jury until 10 o'clock November
Sth, at which time the special grand
Jury will reassennhle and investigate
the failure OF taxpayers to properly
list not only their incomes but their
personal property. both tangible and
intangible In reference to Intangible
property. especially stocks bonds and
notes, the special grand jury has found
great and apparently irreconcilabis
discrepancies
