Again the Crops.

Nature is doing her best for the Uni
ted States despite the adverse contrly-
ances of man to impair the prospect for
a return of prosperity. The July crop
report Is altogether one of the most
satisfactory exhibits that has ever been
made ut this season.
Attention Is of course directed chiefly
cipal grains. corn. wheat and oats. For
the first time this year there are olii-
clnl figures on the position of corn, al
together the most important of Amerl-
can agricultural staples. The corn con
dItion reported Is per cent. above the
ten year average at the beginning Of
July and denotes a yield of 2.S6s. 00O,-
600 bushels. There may he some dis.
appointment that the promise Is not
larger. hut if the present prospect is
sustained the yield will he the fourth
largest in the country's history.
A somewhat smaller acreage planted
to corn Is partly the reason why the
tokens of bumper harvest are lack.
Ing. 1nls IN turn is explained Dy the
remarkable way in which winter wheat
came through, and at every successive
return the situation OF winter wheat
has looked better. The crop is now es-
timated at 855OOO.OO0 bushels. The
indications for spring wheat are oT5,-
0OOO0 bushels, making total wheat
yield OF 03OOOO,oOO bushels. or still
nearer the billion bushcl mark than n
month ago. incidentally. the outturn of
oats bids fair Ia he in excess of 1900
100000 bushels. or the largest on record
except the tremendous crop of 1912.
There is more warrant in the annals
Of the season So far for expecting crop
Improvement than deterioration. Tn
der the circumstances Of politics which
have conspired to perpetuate business
and financial depression II is wholly
fortunate that the agricultural vista is
81 bright. for good crops are almost
bound To affect some regeneration of
volumes and values.

UNFAIR or MR.. WILSON.
In His Philadelphia speech He withheld
the Credit due the bankers.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sr. II In
cause for extreme regret that President
Wilson In his address last Saturday at
Independence Hall showed such lack Of
candor and fairness In his reference to
the banking and currency law. He said !:
It was universally admitted that the bank
Ing system Of this country needed reorgani-
zation. We set the best minds we could
hnd to the task OF discovering the best
method OF reorganization.
VIII Mr.. Wilson seriously contend that
the best minds" evolved the Glass bill
as II was introduced into the House?
On the contrary, some OF the best minds
opposed many features OF the bill when
the Senate began rs hearings on the pro-
posed legislation. Mr.. Wilson added:
We met with hardly anything but criti-
cism from the bankers OF the country.
And yet. Just so soon as that act
was passed. on the very next day. there was
universal chorus Of applause from the
bankers OF the United states.
Now, every candid man knows that the
bill was radically amended before II be-
came "A law. and amended In consequence
OF the criticisms OF bankers and the pub
lie spirited press. The President further
asked: Now. az Il 1.-The bill was wrong
the day before II was passed, why was it
right the day after II was passed. Every
man who followed the progress of the
Glass-Owen bill knows that the bill was
wrong the day before II passed because
1t held harmful provisions and lacked
many desirable ones. Important changes
were made In the measure after Senator

ton delivered in the Senate on December

clans. make his own canvass. and the
voters will write his name on the official
ballot and elect him.
2. No case should be heard from the

Judges on the bench. With our present
knowledge OF anthropology and the les
son or evolution IL II a blot upon our In
tellisence TO put persons and property In
Jeopardy OF the idlosyncrasies OF a Judge
