THE CROPS.

The Minneapolis Tribune sizes up
the northwest crops in July as follows:
Perfect climatic conditions in July
have achieved wonders for the north
west crops. Had the weather been es-
peclally ordered as n might prescribe
a tonic for an invalid, the effect could
not have been more wonderful.
From a June Of ~unfavorable develop
ment, with vitality weakened by frosts
and impaired by drought, July has
marked a steady recovery, SO
ed that exaggeration is now more like
Iy to lie on the side. Of the optimist
rather than the pessimist. Rarely has
a July been so cool with enough mois-
ture to bring out the fullest response
OF the plants and to provide ideal fill
ing conditions. Since the first of the
month there has been no strain on the
growing crops.
The Improvement continues to be re-
Elected in ar easier price tendency. but
the selling. pressure is largely the re-
suit OF a speculative r~-discounting
OF the early prospects for a small
wheat production, which has now been
~Ilquidated. and the further swing of
the speculative pendulum carried by
h momentum of the liquidation and
the resultant bearishness which de-
velops on all such movements. The
absorption of this wheat by milling in
terests Indicates that at the current
level prices are attractive and the lib
eral decrease in spring wheat stocks
with cash wheat at a premium compar-
ed with September, Is evidence of a.
broad and active commercial demand.
over the southern half OF the north
west the small grain crop Is almost Sc
cured. Harvesting is becoming we'll
advanced in South Dakota and is un-
der way in southern Minnesota. Spor-
anlc cases OF black rust have been dis
covered, as they can be every season
In a section on both sides of the Mime
sofa and South Dakota boundary, an
area where the disease appear to be
endemic, but not to a degree that has
occas1oned any alarm. 1t Is possible
that some damage will be done to the
equality Of the wheat by this pest, but,
~ND
generally speaking, the reports from
the southern half of the spring wheat
belt indicate excellent quality.
The badly spotted condition Of the
North Dakota crop makes 1t very hard
TO estimate. From the reports, it. IL
gathered that the per acre yield will
be moderate, but that the aggregate
production will be- fairly large. The
crop has come back in q wonderful
way the last three weeks and has still
time to improve further as the bulk OF
the grain is, at least, two weeks from
maturity. Weather developments can
make or mar it yet, but, for a crop
that hi a come through on the low vi
tally it was credited with, it must
have both great resistive and recuper-
ative powers.

Fire Escapes Laokina,

New York Tribune: The one thing
lacking at Binghamton was exits
secure from fire and large enough to
permit of the rapid emptving of the
factory. Had the Binghamton build
ing possessed such means of egress,
in the form Of fire escapes and fire
proof inclosed stairways, no lives need
have been lost. And yet after the ter
rible warnings. Of the WASHINGTON
place fire the Legislature failed to re-
iquire these means of safety in build
tings like that In Binghamton, four
stories or less in height.
The legislature listened to property
owners n exempted buildings like
that. in Bingharnton from proper safety
requirements. This law goes into ef-
feet or Oct. /. With the terrible les
son of the Binghatnton fire before it's
eyes the legislature should amend 1t at
once so that there will be no more
legalized factory death traps.

really consists OF a few rArting
anarchists, made an irruptiort into the
place and took possession.
It has g been made to appear
that wages were too low or conditions
were bad in the mills, or that there
were wrongs to be righted, because
the avowed purpose OF the /. W. W. Is
to destroy capitalism and put labor in
possession OF the means of production.
Its method is not to make inquiry and
determine rights or wrongs, but to
foment strife and induce strikes, and
demands that may then be made as
terms Of peace. The inevitable result
Is disorder and violence whenever
there is a large number of ill-inform-
ed operatives Of foreign origin, as
there was at Lawrence and later at
Paterson. .,. -. .
What might have been accomplish
ed by intelligent negotiation and bar
gaining or by any civilized method Of
proceeding cannot now be judged, but
IANc Hill dLIlLuuS Alld4nldluSu Dy the
employers and the public authorities
wore the strike out n covered the
/. W. W. leaders with deserved defeat.
The loss OF the work people in wages
is estimated at $5,250,000, and after
much excitement and privation they
go back to their spindles and looms
without any advance and with a poor
chance for the future, on account of
the loss to the employers. How much
the latter amounts to Is not known,
but it is sufficient to impair their
ability to pay better wages and it
furnishes an inducement for l~essening
cost and increasing price so far as
practicable to make it up. 1t has cost
the community a good deal in MAIN
tanning order and in loss Of business,
and the silk industry may be perman-
emily injured at Paterson. The de-
feat Of the I. w. W. gang may be
worth the sacrifice, but 1t falls in the
wrong place. Paterson and its people
have had to pay the cost for the bene-
fit Of other communities which were
liable to be similarly afflicted, but the
offenders get off virtually free of
penalty. 1t is to be hoped, however, |
that their power for mischief is fatally
broken.
