Our unwise. unethieal Neiahbor

The Republican does not often concern itself with the conduct of it's contemporaries and it does so usually for their betterment and edfcaton in cred. We moved now, however. take cognizance of afternoon neighbor by it's l-advised enter prise in sending after The Republican carriers yesterday boys to distribute places where The Re- publican was thrown, copies of the mid afternoon edition of the day before the first page which there overaid in red ink the information the edition contained all the telegraphic be found in The Republican of yesterday morning.
 That was not only unethical unneghbory rural and backwoods, but it also unspeakably foolish. lt should have been assumed by mid afternoon contemporary that all of the subscribers of The Re- publican read and have sense It was there fore dioc on the part of contemporary to invite their comparison of it's small three and a half hour Associated Press service with the full and complete Press service of The Republican.
 Here was difference that amount of red ink could explain away when the attention of readers thus specially invited by our contemporary It equally foolish the part of neghbor to at tract attention to the acknowledged superiority the local news service of The Republican. Ink however carmne does not add to the volume of telegraph nor does convert United" Press into genuine tele- graphic news.

He believed, however, that the second ballot with the release of many. delegates from their obligations would swell the Hughes vote to such propor- tions that his nomination would almost certainly be made oi, the third ballot. Many of the Hughes supporters were even more optimistic and said they thought that before the result of the second ballot was announced the drift would be apparent to all delegates and there would be enough changes of votes to bring a nomination on the second ballot.
 The Hughes managers expect Ari- zona, second on the roll of states. to yield to New York so Governor Witt man may place Justice Hughes in nom nation. AT one time it was said Ala bama would yield to New York, but it developed that the. delegation was divided between two or more caRdi- dates. and having no candidate to c:fer. would pass when the state was called

 It seems practically certain the pro S. essive convention will again nomi- nate Colonel Roosevelt as their chief standard bearer, and it is not at all unlikely that Governor Hiram John son also will be drafted, so that their ! ticket will be the same as it was in ! 191H-Roosevelt and Johnson
 Many of the progressive leaders arguo that they have no course other than to name their former ticket, as eff rts to reach an agreement with the republicans for return D the older party have failed. The more conservative republicans of the pro- Sressive party hope to forestall action in ,neir contention until Friday.

 might name a candidate other than Colonel Roosevelt and that later if the !. republicans named Justice Hughes and his speech of acceptance proved sat isfactory, the progressive candidate could withdraw in the interest of har- mony and united front to the dem ocratic party at the polls would be pledged.

It is dangerous pick up the of language without due consideration, for English has more quirks than most of dream of and the big dictionaries stand back of of them. distressed correspondent recently wrote the Hartford Courant and remonstrated with it for using the word team as including the idea of the vehicle but he hardly got the best of the argument. The Courant had spoken of a boy having been injured in jumping off of team,' an expression that smacks somewhat of New England. The person offended in his literary was referred by the Courant to the Standard die tionary which defines the word team" used in this country to the animals harness and hcle. He might also have been sent to Webster the Century which give similar definitions. The language we use is of a flexbility that comrnends prudence to the hypercritical

Learning About South America

The American Consul at La Guaira which is the chief port of Venezuela, South America, reports that the number of American firms attempting to handle their Venezuelan trade through South American branch located Buenos Aires appears, unfortu- nate to be increasing" He learns that when Ven ezuelan merchant writes to an American house the communication is apt to be referred to the latter's office at the celebrated Argentnan capital This is about as sensible as it would be for English porter getting order from New York to handle it through agency United States located at San Francisco.
 Our government representatives at La Gura and other American places should be charitable in their criticism of the ignorance of their fellow cit izens at home. We have only recently discovered South America and have hardly began assmilate it yet
 As for Venezuela, it is strange if we have not advanced far enough in our geographical and com mercial education to realize that that country with Colombia, lies within sphere of influence, right on the American Medterranean-the Caribbean sea- With half dozen steamship lines operating regularly between ports and theirs, communication is about as quick with Western Europe. It is further inn portant consideration of course that Venezuela is nearer Atlantic commercial ports than it is to Europe a trade advantage which is thrown away if business is handled through South American branch below the equator

VESTS WINTER WHEAT CROP
WILL BEAT EXPECTATIONS
Possibility of Damage to Spring
Through Black Rust inNDakotas

CHICAGO, July is. From Western
States come reports today OF a winter wheat
crop that will beat expectations, but of pos
sible heaSy damage TO spring wheat through
black rust in the Dakotas.
Bernard Snow, crop expert for one Of the
biggest Chicago brokerage houses, returned
today from an inspection trip through the
Northwest. He said the winter wheat crop
will be something like 500, 900 900 bushels
and. although under last years record yield
will still be bumper output.
Weather conditions for harvesting and
threshlng the winter wheat are ideal" he
said THE quality Of the yield is un-
usually good"

good. 1t all depends now on the weather
for the next three weeks. II weather is
available 70 development OF black rust
much OF the crop will be a loss. II il Is
not favorable TO the rust the damage viii

Snow said black rust had appeared
throughout South Dakota and In scatter

weather so far has been ideal for il.
Clouds of grasshoppers are damaging

tame opening on the Cotton Exchange this

tation in North Carolina simulated de-
mand on which prices rose 5 to 6 points

some Atlantic and Gulf coast stations.

STEEL BUSINESS FOR FIRST HALF
OF PRESENT MONTH is ABOVE JUNE
Activity Almost Entirely Due to Foreign
tion of Deliveries Disappears Trading Remains
Quiet on Local Stock Exchange

The first half OF July, according to
leading steel trade interests shows an in
crease over the corresponding period of
the previous month SO far as actual orders
are concerned. While the first week of
this month was not up to the same week
In June, the contracts placed during the
last week or so have more than made UP
for this drop, and at present the total
business shows gain
This is almost entirely due TO the ac-
tivity Of foreign interests in this market.
These purchasers are now displaying re-
newed activity and whereas heretofore
the question of deliveries was draw
back In many instances to the actual
closing of the business this feature has
disappeared, and in virtually all the in
quiries recently the buyers have expressed
willingness to accept the best that
sellers could offer
The rail mills are booked until after the
first half of 1917 because Of the many pur-
chases made for export, and the indications
are that additional contracts will be placed
for foreign account for this product as
well as many others, such as wire, she'll
steel and plates. 1t is interesting to note
that Great Britain has become buyer of
rails here, despite the oftrepeated boast
that the rails for English railroads could
be supplied by home plants.
There is no doubt In the minds of steel
authorities that more buying of rails for the
Allies can be looked for, providing deliv.
cries can be made reasonable enough to
suit the purchaser. The Allies in their Of.
fensve movement are said to be construct.
ing railroads in the rear of their lines to
facilitate the movement of troops and pro-
visions to the front.
