CROP OUTLOOK BETTER.

Recent rains of a general distri-
button in the County, have materially
aided and advanced the prospects for
the corn and tobacco crops. While
corn is especially late, yet it appears
to have made wonderful improve
ment, even better gains than was
thought possible before the rains fell.
The acreage Is perhaps not greater
than so per cent of last years crop,
but with very late frost the quality
may be fully as good.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Presidents attention was call
ed by Senator Brandegrce at the
White House conference to the recent
testimony of Secretary Lansing before
the Foreign Relations Committee,
that in his opinion Japan would have
signed the peace treaty even if she
had not been given Shantung.
Now ! wondered whether Secreta-
ry Lansing was well informed about
this question or not" suggested Sena-
tor Brandegree.
"Well, my conclusion is different
from his" replied the President.
"You could not have got the sigma
ture of Japan if you had not given
Japan Shantung?" asked the Senator
THAT is my judgment" said the
President
In addition to running behind con-
siderable over billion dollars in a
wear in his public management of the
railroads, Uncle Sam has had stolen
from him something like $4,000, 900
worth of merchandise from freight
cars in terminals and in transit.
About $15,00O,00O of this was taken
in and, around New York City. A
great part of the stealing has been
done by organized bands under the
very noses of the government rail
way officials.
TeXual amendments relating to the
Deity and to the sovereignty and free
dom of Ireland in the league of Ma
lions covenant are receiving serious
Consideration by the Senate. Unlike
the Declaration of independence,
which voiced the right of freedom
for mankind, the league covenant
makes no reference to Almighty GUC.
President Wilson would not hear
to the crossing of ct or the dotting
of an g. in the original league OF
Nations covenant when he first re-
turned to America. But he had it
changed much as Root and other
Republicans leaders wished in regard
TO the Monroe doctrine. When h.
came back the second time he was
equally as obdurate Now he takes
the position that he has no objecttO /
to the United States, through the Sen
ate, interpreting the covenant in de-
clarations apart from the documeI
itself.
Pleasant colloquies occur in the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
as the result of the efforts of Sena-
tor Hitchcock, of Nebraska, former
chairman, to force the Presidents
earlier expressed wish that the peace
treaty be put through immediately as
means of reducing the high cost o.
living. When he threatened to move
on the floor of the Senate to dis
charge the committee, so that it could
hear no further evidence, Senator
Fall, of New Mexico, said he would
tolerate no more ''insolence and ar
rogsnce' When Ne sought to prove
by witness that the United States
did not go to the aid of Korea and
therefore should not go to the aid OF
Shantung. Senator Johnson, of Cali
fornia, made a reference to "hypocrit-
ical reasoning"
