WHEAT HITS TOP PRICE
IN YEARS AT CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The war was
reflected in the wheat pit again yes
terday by an excited advance In
prices, in the course of which May
wheat sold at $1.25, the highest In
four years, and 80 cents over the
price just before the start of the
big European struggle.
The various options at their best
were from S% to 5% higher than
they were when the market closed
Wednesday. The purchase of small
lots was sufficient to boost prices
a penny at leap and the aggregate
of business was small. Scattered
sales by holders to secure profits
wiped out the grain and the closing
prices were " to Vs. net lower with
May selling at $1.19A.

Indian Summer Yet to Come

The recent period of warm weather was not Indian summer, although it was often referred to as such. It was more like real summer-hot enough to be reminder of July or August. It was beautiful weather and every body enjoyed it except the clothing and dry goods merchants, who found it unreasonable from trade point of view.
 Birmingham Indian summer is yet to come. This little cool snap is most welcome, but it will be followed soon by rising temperature and then we may expect those warm days of blue, hazy air-those balmy days of which poets write and which bring joy to every lover of the beautiful, the typi- cal Indian summer of the sunny south
 We may have a foretaste of Indian summer before the end of the pres ent week. It will be with us in Mo- vember in all its dreamy atmosphere and warmth of color.

To Be Strongly Democratic

The Sixty-fourth Congress will be strongly democratic, although the majority in the House will not be quite so large as it is in the present Con- gress. In the Senate, however, the democratic majority which is now 10 will be increased to 12 with a very good chance of increasing it to IA or even 15.
 In New York Senator Root will be replaced by democrat, James w. Ge- rard. the United States ambassador to Germany, and in Kansas Senator Br1s- tow will be succeeded by democrat. There are three doubtful states-Ohlo- Illinois and California-in each of which the democrats have a strong candidate for the senatorship.
 In the congressional districts ln most of the states the democrats will easily hold their own. The only state in which the democrats will lose sew eral representatives is New York. They now have 31. The republicans have II, and the progressives one. In the next House, from the present out look, New York will do well to have 25 democrats.
 The democratic canvass for the lower House is being made chiefly on the strong record made by the party in control at Washington. President Wilson's administration, popular year ago, is even more popular today, and that fact alone will mean many vote for the democratic candidate in whatever state he may be, yet despite the esteem in which the administration is held the republicans in certain dis tricts in New York will, from one cause or another, stand to win. But the democratic gain III the Dehd'e VIII be compensation for the small falling off in the House.
 Next Tuesdays elections will cer- tainly be accepted as pronounced vim dication of the party in power. Not since the civil war have the democrats won such a congressional victory be- tween presidential elections as they 1 are scheduled to win on November 8.

cNE GREAT Ex-PREsIDENT

From the New York World.
 If it cannot be said that Mr Taft ranks among the greatest Presidents. most people will admit that he has gained high place among ex-Presidents Ills life. his utterances and his atti- tudo toward public problems since ha retired from office have been dignified. helpful and in most cases free from part isanship. A man who has had the highest honors that the people can be- stow upon may do as much later in Private station to justify that distinc- ton as was possible with him in the days of his great authority.
 Praising the foreign policy of the Wilson administration yesterday in hts address before tho American Bar asso- oiaticn. MT. Taft took issue with nal row partisans of his own political household but he honored his country and himself by so doing. In the same way, his approval of the new antitrust legislation, though critical, revealed profound knowledge of law and decent respect for the motives of party ad- versaries who are responsible for the Clayton act. The ex-President who recognizes some obligations to the whole body of the American people, and refuses to become an agitator, q factionist of a common scold, merits commendation as Q pattern for all who may succeed him.
