Aug. 26, after which it gradually increased again. This year there will be enough money to carry the state for several months. The states finances have not been in so good a condition for several years. Why it is so is a question for the politicians and the states men. There will be different O. pinions about it, and the people may take their choice. One thing is certain, and cannot be denied,
 if, Gov. Hays had not vetoed sev-
 eral hundred thousand dallars in
 appropriations, the state wou.d
 not be out of deht at this time.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
 IS VERY PROMISING
Merchants Optimistic Over Reports that Got
 ton Will go to 2Ocents

Little Rock, Aug. 22. There are two predictions that stand out clearly in the consideration of business prospects for next fall and winter. One is that the prices of most commodities that enter into the economical life of the state must advance rather than decrease. The other is that the market value of the farmers products, including cotton, must also advance to figures that have not been known tor years.
 There are some optimistic folks who are predicting that cotton will go to 20 cents, and even 25 cents. Other farm products are advancing in proportion, and the farmer who raised a big crop of wheat this year has a mint of money.
 Little Rock jobbers, returning from the eastern markets report that prices are advancing, and that it is already almost impos- ibie to secure some lines of goods on account of the demand being much greater than the supply. Again it is the European War Jinx that is to blame for these conditions. Merchants are putt ing Tn heavier stocks than usual in preparation for the coming of higher prices.
 There is more money in the banks than ever before and gen eral conditions are prosperous. We hear no reprts of the great armies of unemployed, such as were common several years ago. All industries are at work, and have held up through the dull summer season without the cust- omary summer slump. The lum- Der mills have been specially ac- tive, and new industries are be- ing added every year for the u- tilization of the States Resources and the employment of it's labor.
 Merchants are most optimistic over the future, and are predict ing that the comming fall and winter will witness the greatest season of prosperity the state has ever known.

WHY SUCH UNNATURAL
POLITICAL ASSOCIATES

To the Editor or THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir.-ln reported interview with
the saying as following:
Every voter should take a stand
for a free Republicansm and clean
politics, which means a stand for bet
ter and more representative govern
ment in village. city. and State. As
one of the many thousands OF Della
ware Republicans whose aim Il is to
put an end to machine rule. etc, etc.
Mr.. DUPONT. we understand, has just
entered Delaware politics, and hopes,
in the very near future. to become one
OF the leaders. Of the Republican par
ty in this State. We. therefore, most
heartily commend him for his lofty
ideals as to "A free Republicanism
and clean politics" especially In Kent
county But Mr. Editor, was not
Mr.. Alfred l. dupont a potent factor
in Republican politics at the last Re
publican primaries. and also at the
state Convention. which was held in
Dover on April H. last, and was he
not represented at both the primaries
and the convention by J. Frank Alice,
who. the Dover Index says. has prob
ably ridden on more political band
wagons than any man In the State OF
Delaware. Howard Hudson, who, rur
NOR says, was willing TO sacrifice the
candidacy Of the late-lamented Alvin
3. Conner for the Governorship OF
the State Of Delaware for the reap
pointment OF himself as Oyster Rev
enue Collector; George Walheater,
who. It is said. built more bridges un-
der a certain Democratic Levy Court
man than all other concerns COM
bined. and few other men Of like
calibre. whom we may mention later
II Mr. DUPONT was so represented
and If his henchmen were acting un-
der his guidance and by his express
orders, and using, or attempting to
use. the means which they thene'lves
we're supposed TO have obtained from
their so-called political Boss" then

deliver us from his idea of a Free

are the ones Alfred I. dupont is gun

accepts his word they are not worthy
to be leaders and directors.
Alfred /. duPont's plan. as made by
