PERFECT OUTLOOK FOR FARMING

Summer, almost here, finds agri-
cultural conditions more perfect than
at this date in years. The reserves
of moisture in soil and subsoil are
larger and more universally distribut-
ed throughout the country than at
this time since similar conditions in
1896 resulted in the bumper crops
Which ushered in the good times that
followed.
Now, as then, stocks Of goods on
merchants shelves are small, people
have liquidated their indebtedness,
money is easy, winter wheat is in
more than perfect condition, a full
acreage is being planted to other
crops.
With ample reserves of moisture,
frequent cultivation will insure even
against drouth. The great crops now
in prospect, together with reason
able degree of peace at home and
abroad, indicate healthy improvement
in business from now until harvest, to
be followed by renewed activity in
commerce and industry. Indeed, the
business prosperity which should fol-
low anything like a full harvest may
exceed all expectations.
Conditions justify confidence, OPP
timism and wise preparation for ex-
banding business.

The Optimistic Rooster and the Pessl-
mistic Man.

mistic Man.
A rooster Tapped his wings and
crowed,
His notes were loud and cheerful;
A man next door got up and swore,
His" notes were loud and fearful.
The rooster crowed because he knew
The sun would soon be shining;
The knocker swore because his life
Had been confined to whining.
The rooster scratched around tbs
ground
And filed his empty gizzard:
The man look out and saw cloud
And feared there'd be blizzard.
The rooster crowed and. went to bed.
To dream of life tomorrow;
The man sat up and scratched his
head
And talked of pain and sorrow.
The rooster won the worlds esteem,
For he was up and doing;
The man was voted low and mean,
With trouble always brewing.

THE MARINE

The marine is a man of all seasons
and all services, a fighter, soldier
and sailor in one, and for all the
colors. When the warning came OF
trouble with Mexico the marine corps
was the first branch OF the fighting
service to get into print. First in
print and first at the front. And so
if has been with the marine in every
foreign row in which the United
States has been engaged, says the
Chicago Evening Post.
Years ago an officer of marines and
twenty-one privates doubIe-timed i.

CRIME AND PUBLICITY.

Commenting upon the execution of
the four murderous gunner at Sing
Sing few days ago, the New York
World says:
It is well that the description OF
the quadruple execution has been
printed in full. There was nothing
theatrical in the way in which The
gunner" shuffled to their death.
There was nothing about their man
ner of dying to inspire any Of their
kind with desire to meet a similar
end. Hundreds of young thugs in
New York will have sohered sense
of their responsibilities under the
law such as they have not had since
they broke away from all restraints of
family and the religion of their faith
ers.
The point made by the World is well
taken. There is much ridiculous chat
ter about what should and what should
not be printed in The daily press
Newspaper standards in this country
are high. The tendencies Of the press
are constantly in the direction of
cleaner and more wholesome ideals.
but there Is nothing truer than tina.
the press is the most potent factor of
modern times in the exposure of
crime and the detection Of criminals,
says the Des Moines Capital. The
law-violator and all the unholy and
sometimes revolving circumstances
connected with his career must now
and then be revealed to the public
gaze. There are times when the
