Columbian Treaty.

"a good deal Of adverse COM
mentary has been evoked on the
part of Republican, Progressive
and half baked Democratic pa
pers at the Columbian treaty.
We admit the Columbians drove
a hard bargain, but the penalty
for the infraction of the political
as of the moral law is justly fol-
lowed by the punishment.
Uncle Sam, the author, promul-
gator and keeper of the Monroe
Doctrine, by virtue Of that doc
trine, has been placed in the po-
sition of locus PARENTS of the
Western Hemisphere. Now,
Uncle Sam wanted the strip of
territory known as the Canal
Zone. The political drafters of
Columbia, knowing that the I'M
speakable Teddy, through trans
continental railroad influences,
would never agree to the Near
auguan route, the sanest, health
lest and best of the trans-Isth-
milan routes, saw their opportu-
nifty and kept raising their price.
Teddy, who. it will be remem-
bered, with the musk of Booker
7. still clingipg to his right arm,
branded the South's greatest
statesman as a traitor because
he led the constitutional rights
of the South to secede. Yet,
hardly was the ink dry on his in
famous utterances when he
aided and abetted Panamians in
their revolt against their mother
country at a time when we were
at perfect peace with that coun-
try, and it is known to all men
that, without the influence of
our government, the Columbians
would have squelched the seces-
sionists. The course of the
United States still more embit-
tered the entire Latin America
against us, and jeopardized the
spirit and usefulness of the Mon
roe Doctrine, already badly jar
red by our colonial policy in the
Philippines; it was, therefore,
meet and proper that the mo-
ment that Democracy came into
power they should make an earn
est effort to win back the friend
ship of Columbia and allay the
hatred and suspicion which our
acts evoked in all of South
and Central America: the price
may be high, but in the end it
will be cheap, measured by ma
terial interests. In a moral sense
we had to pay the penalty to
preserve our reputation for hon
and fair dealing.
Regardless of political afilia-
ions, every honest citizen should
ommend the State Department
or having done SO; the more so
ecause Columbia is a weak and
significant power. Had it ]

Good Times Ahead.

The New York Times has recently
concluded q nationwide inquiry into
business conditions. The responses are
published in two solid pages of the
Times under the general heading
Business Men See. Good Times
Ahead"
The editorial in which the Times re-
views it symposium will give a suffic-
emily comprehensive idea of the gen.
eral tone of comment:
The reports on the business situation
all over this country which are printed
in the Times this morning carry an un-
mistakable message of good cheer. The
statement of the bankers, manufactur-
ers, and merchants are not academic or
theoretical. The truth is not evaded or
CLOSED over There has been depress-
ion in many branches of trade. But in
these statements Of the views and ex.
periences of the business men of all
sections there is evidence of an obvious
and justifiable feeling of confidence in
the future. The idea that we have
reached the turning point is not found.
ed on personal optimism, and is shared
by nearly all, even by those who have
felt most strongly the recent trade de.
preston. OF course, the abundant
crops have much to do with this hope
full outlook, but not all. Trade is al.
ready better in branches which have
suffered least, and is picking up in
others. The condition of the steel
trade, in which the signs are now en-
couraging, is assuredly better index
of economic conditions than that Of the
motor car trade, which is verbally
booming. The facts set forth in these
we'll filled columns are indisputable.
The opinions are sound and unprecedented.
The result does not justify over.en.
thusiasm. There are difficulties yet to
be encountered. General prosperity
has not yet set in, but there is no doubt
that the worst has been passed and the
good times are coming.
There will be disposition just now,
on the heels of political convention,
to discredit this cheerful forecast as
manufactured for political effect.
But there is nothing to indicate that
the Times has any other purpose than
to faithfully reflect the sentiment of
the business community. The
responses, at least, are from business
men and not from politicians.-Des

l could not learn of single cotton mill
or wooden mill or textile mill of any
kind, nor pulp mill, nor paper mill

rhe harvest of the tobacco crop is

able help at command and the close of
the present week will See the bulk of
the crop under cover in the curing
sheds. While a good deal of scouting
is being done by buyers during the
harvest and little nibbling around
the edges, no organized effort to start
field buying has yet developed. Local
buyers, however, are credited with hav-
ing placed contracts for possibly a cou-
pie of hundred acres of the choicest
crops, mainly in the northern sections
at prices ranging from 10 to 13 cents.
The larger operators claim they have

The clash of arms on the other side
of the great Atlantic pond luckily finds
no disastrous vibration in our leaf mar
ket. There is no powder wasted on
unwilling captives. For everybody who
is now invading the leaf market is will
ing to capitulate and to pay his tribute
to obtain the wherewithals of his busi-
ness existence. The demand for all
kinds of wrapper leaf remains un-
abated. Connecticut Broadleaf is SELL
ing fast and so is Sumatra. Trading
in the latter type continues very brisk
as manufacturers are realizing the
shortage of a near supply. Our do
mestic shade-grown leaf is likewise
finding quick takers. Last years crop
represents some of the best growth and
being reasonable in price it naturally
attracts patronage. The horrors of
war can have no effect on our cigar in
dustry. While it's record last year was
not the most promising, the prospects
of an unprecedented price for our food
stuffs cannot but have most eXhiler-
ating effect on the country's activity
during the coming fall and winter and
naturally also on freer and extended

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. %, 1914.
A terrific storm which swept the to-
bacco belt from one end to the other
last Friday afternoon caused damage
only here and there. Loss was occas-
stoned by the wind as we'll as by scat
tering hail, but the whole will not ex-
ceed 500, 900 or. .$25, 900. This figure in
cludes damage to number of tobacco
buildings. It was the luckiest escape
in years.
week was suffered in the Housatonic
valley. Fridays storm was the third
hailstorm in three days. Even here
the damage was not heavy considering
the possibilities for loss, and will not,
it is said, exceed $4,000.
The northern part of the tobacco belt
suffered a $50, 900 hail loss, about three
weeks ago, which the daily newspapers
of that part of the country consider
ately overlooked. The greatest dam
age was in parts of Sunderland, Mass,
where, according to those who have
passed through the district, the grow
ing crop was badly cut. Several hun
dred acres of tobacco were in the path
of the storm.
New England growers had pole
sweat scare last week and some crops,
it is said, suffered damage from this
cause. Many growers avoided pole
sweat loss by resorting to firing. !"
The pole sweat damage is not exten-
sive, according to reports.
Last week was a disappointment
from the standpoint of the amount of
tobacco harvested. So much rain fell
that the working hours of tobacco help
were greatly restricted. An immense
acreage of tobacco is still unharvested
and after another week frost danger
must be faced
Buying is less active. Probably from
20 to 80 per cent of the entire New
England crop has beer sold. Prices
have considerable range.

SYRACUSE. N. Y. Aug. %. 1914.

In severe hail storm which followed
a series of thirteen thunder storms in
forty eight hours in the Chemung river
valley, it is estimated that fully $3.50,
600 damage was done to the growing
tobacco crop in that section. In some
sections the tobacco will not be fit to
cut at all, the leaves being stripped
right off from the stem. The tobacco
was about ready to be cut when the
storm came on. This is certainly a
great loss to the growers who had con-
templated getting high prices for their
crops this year which they pronounced
to be the finest crop grown in many
years.
