THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The opening of the fall season
is not accompanied with that
bouyancy of spirit that usually
characterizes the first Of Sep
TENDER. The only evidence that
the first has come again IS the
usual number of moves being
made by families and business
people who change at this season.
At no time since the Civil War
has the south been confronted
with a more serious business out
look. The time has arrived when
the cotton is seeking a market
and no market is offered. The
war in Europe has shut off all
demand by foreign mills and the
domestic demand is limited. Just
how long this condition will pre-
vail depends upon the length OF
the war. That will be determined
by the ability of the contestants
to continue it. With our chief
source of revenue cut off we are
confronted with higher prices for
many Of the necessaries of life
than have prevailed for several
years.
Sugar has advanced from five
to ten cents and flour has gone
up nearly $500 a barrel.
The only consolation we of the
south can find in the situation is
that we are all in the same boat.
Nobody should Try to put his
neighbor overheard.

Making King George P~unctuaI.

I hear that the clocks at Bucking-

dences, which in King Edwards reign
were always k~eptahalf an hour fast,
are now set to Greenwich time every
day at noon.
The idea was, / believe, that there
would be less danger of the king or

appointments, but tits one OF those
ideas which ought to be kept to one
self to be of any value. Once the

they say they can see no remedy short
Of forcible demand from the public
that business be expedited The con.
grcss has now been in continuous ses-
sion for over fourteen months In
that time only three distinctly import.
ant measures have been before the
senate. These are the tariff revision
+ bill. the bill for federal reserve law
tand the canal tolls repeal bill The
house disposed Of each of these meas.
ures with It's usual promptness.
As a matter OF fact. the lower legis-
lative branch has not been actively at
work one-fourth OF the time since
April =. last year, the date on which
this congress assembled.
Within recent years the senate
seems TO have lost all sense Of re-
sponsibility as TO doing things with
reasonable promptness.
The public has come to understand
that the body can not be expected 70
dispose OF any really important piece
of legislation short of three months
This is about the average time devot-
ed 10 the tariff bill. the federal re-
serve bill and tire tolls bill. Persons
who are disposed TO criticise the SEN
ate somewhat severely for wasting
tllUt ftdulil tuuttut lfidl II usually
improves on the work of the house OF
representatives The tariff bill was a
better bill after the senate had gone
through il, and the federal reserve act
was materially better Indeed. il is
generally the case that thf house
turns over to the senate the unfinished
product. confident that the upper
branch will put on the finishing
touches.
But. after all. there does not seem
to be any excuse at all for the SEN
ate taking SO much time for the con
sideration Of legislation. House bills
are almost invariably perfected in
committee after they reach the SEN
ate. The tariff bill really underwent
no changes of consequence after II
was reported To the senate until II
reached a conference representing the
two houses and the same thing Is true
OF the federal reserve act. So as a
matter of fact the long drawn out de-
bate on those two bills was In reality
a waste of time. Senators knew how
they would vote even before either
bill was reported from committee.
Rarely. IL ever. does a speech change
a vote in the senate. and Yet sena-
tors go on making them day after day.
month after month and year after
year.
