OF WOODROW WILSON
Hard Times VIII Not Follow His Re-
election. Says Paris.

The opinion pervading financial circles
that the election Of Hughes will insure
continued prosperity on Wall Street
whereas, the reelection Of Wilson will
jeopardize, the boom times. Is not unani-
nous, particularly in local financial
circles.
Albion K. Paris, Of the firm Of Crane,
Paris & Co.. bankers. last night regis
tered his vigorous disapproval of this
sentiment. Mr. Paris, In addition to
being a leader IN the local financial field,
also holds q prominent position as q
civic worker, having been associated for
many years with the Georgetown citi-
zens' Association
For years" said Mr.. Paris, st has
been customary In the business world.
and particularly IN financial circles, to
couple Republican rule with business
prosperity and to associate Democratic
administration with hard times. This
sentiment Is prevalent but based on fall
lacy 1T Is more Of sentiment than q
reality.
7 do not think that the election Of
Hughes would assure the business men
more OF prosperity than would Wilson's
reelection Conversely, I believe that
the reelection OF Wilson will give Wall
Street and the country generally as great
a reign Of prosperity as Hughes ever
could bring about.
The reason for all this Is that pros
perity is not determined by the party in
power, but by various other complex con-
ditions, too intricate for analysis. A
particular party may pursue policies bet
ter fitted TO produce prosperity than those
Of another, but no one can tell In
advance what particular policies a party
will put into effect. Platforms mean
nothing; they are scraps Of paper; they
are tossed aside after election time and
are forgotten. This situation makes 1t
impossible to rely upon parties IN fore7
casting national prosperity.
IF vote this year shah vote for
Wilson, merely because of the fact that
he has kept US at peace while the rest
of the world has been at war. Our pres
ent peace policy is the basis OF our pros
perity. This Woulo be the sole factor
in causing me to support Wilson"

Our Bread and Butter

Those who ask for free announcement
of affairs where admission is charged,
where profit is made for the publication OF
much stuff which is of little or no value
to the public might with equal grace and
consistency. ask the grocer to throw in
loaf of bread with pound of coffee
they are purchasing. The merchant is
not expected to give his goods away.
He couldn't stay in business if he did, yet
the newspapers give away hundreds of
dollars worth of advertising space each
year and rarely get "Thank you" in
return. There is one way to get around
some of it, but if somebody is going pro-
fit by the advertising then somebody
should pay the bill.
of course much of the practice is hand
ed down from an old custom, and the
public is not so much to blame for many
of the things done, but if our patrons
could be convinced that the lines of type
set in our newspaper Offices and the space
10 our columns cost us money and are
our stock in trade, our bread and butter,
are that with which we pay our help,

LOST MONEY BY DETECTION
Baron NordenskjoId, Tempted by Of
fered Honor, Made Mistake When
He Accepted IL.

When the late Baron Nordenskjoldt
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast
of Siberia he received a telegram.
from the Russian government asking,
him whether he would accept from.
the car certain decoration as an.
appreciation of his services to Russia.
For many days the famous explorer
wavered, as he was member OF
Bjornson's Authorization club, whose
members were solemnly pledged never
to accept any decoration from any
body.
Nordenskjold, however could not re-
sist the temptation. so he replied to,
the telegram in the affirmative. 1t is
not hard to imagine his disappoint-
ment when upon reaching home a,
friend of his, high official, told him
the following:
THE Russian government was we'll
aware of your antagonistic views in
regard to decorations and had there
fore placed in readiness 100000 rubless
to be paid you in the event of your
refusing to accept the insignia, but be-
fore paying that sum they wanted to-
try your tirmness. Russia is certainly
grateful to you for your failure to live
up to your pledge

Instinct of BIackbjrds,

While residing in the country some
years ago and walking out one evening,
1 found a nest of young blackbirds.
The young birds were almost fledged.
Taking them home with me, put them
in a cage and the next morning hung
them out under tree, and in about an
hour l saw the old birds at the cage,
evidently delighted to find their young.
The old birds came regularly every
two hours and fed them with worms
and grubs. This continued for two
days, the old birds trying all in their
power to get the young ones out. On
the third day 1 noticed the old birds
bring berry, which they gave the
young ones, two of which died that
evening and the rest next day. The
old birds then left off coming. The
berries on examination proved to be
the seeds of the Atropa belladonna or
deadly nightshade. This convinced me
Of what had heard about these birds
destroying their young if allowed to
feed them in imprisonment. 1 am told
that other birds have the same instinct.

The Bread Basket

The outlook for crops in this country
may not be an interesting subject just at
this time when folks are concerned in
politics, yet the condition of the nations
food basket enters more intimately into
the national domestic economy in these
times of high prices of commodities than
the question as to who is to be the next
President. Present indications point to
a wheat crop of 3OO,OOOOO bushels
smaller this year than that of last year.
The Department of Agriculture forecasts
prophesy winter wheat crop of 469,-
100000 bushels, 100000 less than
forecast from May l conditions, the de-
crease due largely to insects in Kansas
and Oklahoma, and spring wheat crop
of 246,OO0,OOO bushels, due to a de-
crease of eight per cent. in acreage from
last year and to the late, wet spring.
Crop conditions of June 1 indicated
less production than last year of small
grain crops, but they promise to be
about the same as the average produc-
ton for the last five years. Fruit crops
as whole are good, especially the apple
crop, which indicates that in Vermont
the crop will be above the average.
Indications are that the oat crop will be
smaller than last year by about 3O0.-
100000 bushels. This crop will be par
ticularly poor in most Southern States
and eOklahoma and central Kansas.
In Vermont hardly the average crop
may be expected, owing to rains and
cold spring. On the other hand, the hay
crop will be good one; grass looks fine
all over Vermont, and big crop may
be expected in that line

They Are Coming Again

The flow of immigration into the
United States halted, for time, by the
European war, shows a greater increase
toward normal with each succeeding
month. Figures just made public by the
Department of Labor show that $4,000
aliens reached American shores in March,
eleven per cent. more than in the preced-
ing month and forty-three per cent more
than during March of the previous year.
In March, 1914, 90, 500 aliens were adj
mitted.
Italy, with $50, sent more immi-
grants than any other country. Greece
was second, with 2,913; England third.
with 1854; Mexico fourth, with. 2.299,
and the Scandinavian countries fifth.
with 2,O33. Immigrants OF German ma
tionality numbered 1910.
There has been good deal of specula-
ton over immigration after the war.
Advocates of drastic exclusion acts con-
tend that this country will be flooded
when hostilities cease with an undesir-
able quality of aliens, who will thus seek
to escape further army service and the
burdensome taxation, which will be an
inevitable inheritance of the waste of
treasure for war purposes. On the other
hand, the supporters of liberal immigra-
ton laws assert that wages will be
higher, work plentiful and living condi-
tions better when Europe starts to re-
build. Time will determine this prob
lem, but the outlook is that veritable
torrent of aliens will sweep west when
the barriers to their exodus are let down.
