Poor Crops and Prosperity.

Twice since the war clouds burst over Europe
the people OF this nation have been favored by
good crops. But all reports indicate that the
third crop will be a disappointment. These re-
ports apparently not having the damaging
effect on business that might be expected under
normal conditions. In fact the industries of the
nation not even casting a sidelong glance at
the crop reports. The industrial plants are run
ming full blast and every month seems to bring
more prosperity than the preceding month.
The very fact that the last two crops have
been heavy alone is almost sufficient cause for
expecting a light crop this year The nation,
however, does not confront what is called a crop
failure. The crop is light enough to cause an
increase in prices to the consumer and forms
one of the many for the apparently end
less demands for higher wages.
1t is estimated that drought has cut down the
corn crop to approximately $500, 100000 bushels
and that the total yield Of wheat will not exceed
the needs of this country. 1t is predicted that
the cotton crop will not exceed 100000 bales
the crop having been damaged by the drought
west of the Mississippi which followed the East
ern floods
Whatever pessimsm might have been created
by the poor crop outlook has been almost entirely
dissipated by the continuance Of war orders The
entrance of Roumania into the war with the
probability that Greece will unsheath her sword
daily growing stronger have created predictions
that even more renewals of orders will be given.
The shadow of nationwide railroad strike
having passed, the hesitation that gripped bust
ness has been supplanted by confidence
and experts declare that the crest of the wave
OF prosperity yet is to be attained. Foreign debts
are being reduced, products finding a way
into new markets, new industries being Gre
ated and capital is being accumulated.
The Republicans insist that the end of the
war will bring hard times if the Democrats
still are in control, but most of the people seem
to be too busy making money to listen to the
warning

AFTER-DINNER POLITICS
One Trying Inauguration Day.
By DIR. Il. J. EDWARDS.

On March T. 1873, Ulysses s. Grant for
a second time took the oath Of Office as
President. His experience upon that day
was such as TO lead him TO say that he
oeheved that IL would be expedient, II
II could legally be done TO change In
auguration day from March to April 30.
II was day Of a violent icy storm.
blizzard-like in some Of its characteristics.
PRESIDENT Grant was especially concerned
over the sunerfnEs OF the West Point
and the naval cadets who went to Wash
ington to take part in the parade. Some
OF them suffered from frost-bitten ears.
some were In danger OF serious illness.
Years later, Col. Fred d. Grant told
me that he often heard his father speak
Of the suffering occasioned by the storm
Of the 9Th OF March. 1s75. saying that
he wondered whether IL would not be
wiser In case of storm to abandon the
outdoor ceremonies and, instead. have the
Inauguration in the Senate chamber or in
the House of Representatives. Better yet
would be legislation, II it could be Sc
cured, whereby Inauguration day would
be postponed until late April, usually a
balmy season in Washington.
Many years later, a storm Of like Sc
verify prevailed in Washington on the
day Of the Inauguration of William H.
Taft, as President II was felt that IL
others who were brave enough TO stand
In front Of the East Wing Of the Capitol
to endure the miserieS Of that storm.
Therefore, decision was made to hold
the inauguration ceremonies in the Sen
ate Chamber. It was then said that this
was the FIRST time that a President OF
the United States had been inaugurated
indoors.
President Taft, however. was informed
that his Inauguration did not make a new
precedent. Up to the time Of the in
auguratiOn Of President Andrew Jackson
there had been several indoor Inaugural
tons. Not from the time of the inaugu-
ration OF Jackson until that Of William
II. Taft did the ceremony take place.

y hich he died. few weeks later It was
bitterly cold and Indictment day. Presi-
dent Harrison had prepared the longest
inaugural address ever written or de-
Iivered. Fully an hour was needed for
the reading OF IT, and he stood exposed
in all that time TO the cold blasts and
TO the rain. Had he needed the sugges-
ton OF some Of his friends and accepted
their proposition that he be inauEurated
indoors, the probs bilities are that his
health would have been Unimpaired-

The action of the Board of Education in de-.
aging the opening of the public schools to guard
