dent. This means Burton In the ditch
at the first chuckhole. And Burtons
friends know IL. Willis's statements to
ihe contrary notwithstanding, his fu.
ture course is most problematical. And
we predict regardless that Burton
won't be the Republican nominee. We
hope he won't because we would rath-
er see some Republican without Ohio
get the drubbing that's coming to who
ever is nominated.
The decentralization" of the agricul-
tural commission is complete. Last
year more than 1900 boys entered the
lists for corn boys prizes In the jun
ior contest and more than 800 OF them
secured free trips to Washington
through the commissions activities.
This year less than 1000 entered, and
while the official conduct is secret, it
Is believed that not more than 80 free
trips were offered. And the money
that was intended by the Legislature to
give the girls a course at domestic
science college has been spent by a
wasteful board to provide sinecures
for political barnacles.
Governor Willis toured the west as a
presidential candidate. But he's i'm
partial He's going to tour the east
as vice presidential candidate. It's
all the same to us, but he's going on
the big Pennsylvania excursion, this
year misnamed the corn boys tour
Money Talks is the title of an edi-
torial in the Portsmouth Times, which
reads:
"Last state campaign pack of Re-
publicans, papers and politicians,
headed by one who was not then our
good young governor, because he could
bay and bark louder and longer than
all the rest put together, roamed up
and down this rich and plethoric com.
monwealth, yelping that the odious
Cox machine had bankrupted the state.
and when only those whom God ap-
pointed should run the government
went into the capitol they would find
an empty treasury"
Then the writer tells how the gov
ernor kept up the fraudulent outcry
for months, though Auditor Vic Dona-
hey presented unanswerable truth to
the contrary. And now he points out
that Willis's compatriot, Treasurer
Archer, Republican, let's the cat out of
the bag in a report which shows that
he has collected $4,000 interest for
one year, which is on principal of ap-
proximately $1O,OOO,OOO. And the edi-
tor continues:
"a matter of balance of 100000
is not close to bankruptcy, but if the
average of last years state G. o. p. can
didates had come that many miles
near the truth they would have made
startling record for veracity."

By HOLLAND

New York, April 22.-(Special)-An in vestment of s20,000000 for new equipment ana other purposes. long delayed, by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, confirms what business men and railway managers have been saving since about February l. They then looked for signals which would be thrown out by railway com panies in mid-spring, and would be ac- cepted as symptoms of returning busi- ness prosperity. President Ripley of the Atchison, Kruttsehnitt of the Pacific sys- tem. Thomas of the Lehigh Valley and. somewhat cautiously, Howard Elliott of the New Haven system. at one time or an- other since February have spoken with encorra cement of the outlook and have intimated that railroad activities in the purchase of equipment would signaize the beginning of prosperity.
 Yet from the business point of view in- formation which tells of the commercial activities of the house of William R. Grace & Co. is quite important and gratifying as have been recent railroad developments. This is purely commer- cial house. At least 20 years ago William R. Grace, then the founder of the house,
  city, and whose early business life was in Peru, said to the writer that there would be developed, provided there were navigat ton between the Atlantic and Pa cifc, either across the Panama isthmus or by the Nicaragua route. a very great trade between North and South America MT. Grace looked not only for a large interna tional trade between the west coast of South America and the eastern coast of the United States, but he also believed that very great commerce would be esta blished between the gulf ports, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston, and Chile and Peru. He foresaw the development of commerce between our Pacific coast states ana the west coast of South America What he a few years before his death was able to picture forth in his imagination his son. Joseph P. Grace and those associat- ed with him are now realizing.
 This commerce will mean much to the lumber interets of the northwest, which only a few days ago Julius Kruttschnitt spoke of as being somewhat demoralized. Lumber and other commodities originat- ing upon the Pacific coast are to be trans ported in large quantities by the Grace fleet of steamships to the west coast of South America There should be heavy return cargoes also. This recent develop ment of Pacific ocean commerce is not the least of the impressive business revela- tons which have been made within a few weeks, for it points to great commercial activity now promised and soon to be realized between Peru and Chile on the one hand and the United States upon the other.
 Coincident with the news of commerce now beginning between our Pacific coast and the Pacific coast of South America, other developments justify the inference

MT. Leopold Loeb, Head of Lovendn, Joseph 6 Loeb Millinery Department, Talks About the Midsummer Styles
Fashionable Birmingham Sees Exquisite Modes Yesterday at Display of Headwear- Transparent Effects Tules Ma
 lines Nets and Wings Used Effectively

That Dame Fashion has fairly outdone herself in the matter of beautiful millinery modes was demonstrated yesterday at the handsome display of midsummer head wear at the fashionable millinery par lors of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb.
 Hundreds of women visited the depart ment and saw the beautiful hats, and the general comment was that no more equis- ite assortment of styles had ever been shown in Birmingham.
 One of the pleasures of the day was af- fcrded by the fact that Mir. Leopold Loeb, who for couple of years has not been connected with the millinery department of Ioveman, Joseph & Loeb, was again present and with his usual affable, agree made the occasion a momentous one in many ways.
 MI. Loeb's beautiful taste has Always ben a source of pleasure to the fashion able clientele which the millinery depart ment at Loveman's has enjoyed, and when hes advises a style the utmost confidence may be put in his decision, because he has made a study of fine millinery and knows that business from start to finish, and his hundreds of friends in Birming- ham are delighted that he is once more at the head of the department at Love- man. Joseph x Loebs.

In speaking of the "mid-summer styles" Mr. Loeb said, among other things. yes terday.
 'The flmiest and the most diaphonous materials are being used for this season s hats and bonnetts. Large hats especially arc coming into favor, and while the sailor effects are very smart, the un- even brims and slightly indented brims beeomirgly modelled, are the choicest things. Tulle ruffles. maline borders and net edges are the very last word in mil- liiery effects, and the smartest hats are those on which are used profusely these filmy materials. Wings are very much used also, and make a very stylish trim ming"
 Among the attractive models shown was wonderful black hat of medium size with hemp crown and diaphanous brim. with a single handsome paradise spray at the front and tiny sprays surrounding the crown
 A stunning sailor was of white straw, faced with white satin and a huge white wing fastened at the side.
 A pale blue hemp formed the crown of a very smart hat with which was used two ruffles of pale blue maline for the brim. A band of black velvet and cluster of vari-colored French roses on each side was the stylish trimming.
 The midsummer millinery display is yers lovely at Loveman. Joseph X Loeb S. and the fashionable world will miss a rare opportunity of seeing the very latest and newest modes if they fail to visit this popular emporium today

 A Different Story
 Two or three weeks ago, reports reached New York that business con ditions in Pittsburg were far from sat isfactory. That industrial community was spoken of as one of the dark spots upon the map which symbolzed the business life of the United States. But almost coincidently in point of time with the great increase in quotations for securities dealt in upon the stock exchange come reports that Pittsburg is likely to prove one of the bright spots upon the map. Orders which are not exclusively for war materials are pouring into Pittsburg and within d few days the aggregate is said to have been somewhat in excess of S30000, 900, although, of course, this is only an esti- mate
 Another factor in the improved busi ness situation is found in the calcula- tion that the increase in the price of food products which the war in Europe has caused means an increase of not less than S200. .000. 900 in the gains of the farmers of the United States for their 1914 harvest. This should stimu- late business.
 Many of the large manufacturing in dustries are now receiving orders which undoubtedly are indirectly due to the war although they are for commodities which are not of themselves war ma terial. In business circles the report has prevailed for some days that two at least of the belligerent nations are preparing to buy peaceful commodities |fh great amount in the United States
 Some three weeks ago the manager of one of the great wooden commission houses ventured to ask banker if there were any prospect of improved busi- ness conditions. He said that in 30 years experience as a woolen merchant he had never known such prostration as has prevailed in the past 12 months. The banker called his attention to the report of bank clearings in the United States for the week previous. It showed a decrease as compared with the sams week of last year of a little over 6 per cent. He argued from those figures that there was no improvement in business. but really falling off Yet it has been pointed out that this banker erred in thinking that conditions which were set forth by the statement for clearings of a single week were to be relied upon at this time as an index of business These are not normal times. Business is beginning to improve and if there were falling off of per cent in the aggre- gate of the clearings for a single week this year as compared with the like week of last that does not justify the belief that business is still depressed. There are evidences that it is improv- ing and those who are best qualified to speak are now confident that business cannot longer be restrained. It will even overcome adverse political condi- tions if there are any.
