The optimism of spring gives way
to the hard cold fact of harvest.
Early estimates of billion-and-a
quarter bushel wheat crop must now
be toned down to something like a
billion bushels or less. The psychol-
ogy OF crop reporting, as a professor
would state it, is such that 1000
farmers reporting upon the prospects
OF wheat in May will estimate a
greater crop than will be threshed in
July and August. The green fields
look like more bushels than are ever
yielded. Early spring estimates are
quite often overestimates, yet we sell
dom discount the actual crop reports
enough to meet the actual measured
yield
The great Kansas wheat crop, es-
timated in June to be 229,OOO.OOO
bushels, has shrunk in a month, by
the estimates of the same correspon-
dents. to crop OF only about 159,-
OOO, 900 bushels, which will bring
that states crop below the 1914 re-
cord of 180,000,000 bushels Secre-
tary Mohler. Of the Kansas Board of
Agriculture, says: Never before per
haps have the growers been so gre
viously misled by prospects just pre-
ceeding harvest as has been the case
this year" Only the weather can be
blamed, since the sudden period of
high temperatures is responsible for
the shrinkage in some sections. Wet
weather which fostered the develop
ment of plant disease also worked
great havoc.
Along the Atlantic Coast an excel
lent crop OF wheat was Just being
harvested when the constant rains OF
middle July came on and millions of
bushels were damaged beyond recov-
cry by sprOuting in the shock. Farm
ers in this section lost not only their
wheat and rye, but early potatoes
sproutcd in the ground and began to
rot.
The consuming public whose short

to correct its impression with the
Kansas crop at 100000, 900 bushels

farmers who have lost all or part of
their crops and must wait year to
retrieve the situation. They remem-
ber only the guaranteed price, which
they think Of as a guaranty to hold
up the price to the farmer rather
than fixed price TO hold down rather
price to the consumer, which il really
is. Some wheat is actually selling at
premium OF twenty-eight cents over
the government basis, showing the
eager demand for the very best wheat
In the Western market; but such pre-
miums are the rare exceptions rather
than the rule.

 We shall have to get the gambling joints in another way. It may be easy direct evil dence against them. As matter of fact it is never easy. But there is such thing indirect or cir cumstantal evidence and it is frequently employed in Why may it not be used against gamblers?

Surely there must be way of proving that knowledge the satis- faction of jury If a half dozen men found in that has been by common report regarded gambling joint: if persons willing to swear that they have gambling there; if the character of those in charge of the place is such as leave the presumption that the place would be for other purpose than gambling think jury would be justified in arriving at definite estimate of the character of the place.
 If there is anything in laws against gambling prevent the conviction of persons following it, by circumstantal evidence, the should be changed. We suspect that ordinances and statutes against gambling not they finally passed. intended suppress but rather protect gambling. They called anti gambling ordinances and laws only to fool those people who easily fooled part of the time, and that is the most of the people.

Down in Tennessee a judge asked a poor working girl, accused of taking dress, to furnish bond in the sum of s5,OOO, and she couldn't do it. So she has been in jail tor three months waiting for the courts to do something with her case.
 And in Ohio judge asked a strong well dressed man, accused of holding up bank, to furnish bond in the sum of $2.000, and he did it. So he isn't in jail waiting for some judge to fin- ish his summer vacation and hear the case.
 Looks as though it were better to be accused of bank robbery in Ohio than of dress stealing in Tennessee.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
English Eeerage"

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir: As a reader of your paper I take the liberty of replying to the edi- torial on English Beerage."
 In the first place, I cannot conceive how the article in question could pos- sibly concern Americans, that is, the majority of them, and now I would like to point out that on certain occa- sions, to-wit: The kings birthday and New Years day the prme minister Of the party in power advises the king to confer certain titles on certain people.
 We will say, for instance, it is a brewer, or soap manufacturer or someone else who makes glue. AL though they are wealthy and desire to enter society, they must have a title. So. what do they do? They give a sum of money to the political party they support (give t privately. O, course). This goes to what is called the party fund. What it is and what is done with the money do not know. but the giver gets a knighthood or a baronetcy or is created lord, accord ing to the sum subscribed, not be- cause of the merits of the beer, soap or glue.
 Now, I would like to point out to you that there is such a thing as the

The Growth of Phoenix

Phoenix is not the only town with housing problem the only one where rents exorbitant. Everywhere in the country where people to live the same general conditions prevail-houses scarce and rents going out of sight. We wonder. though, whether in many other places such rentals are charged for shacks hardly fit for human habta It is almost certain that such condition could exist only such climate for in less mild one, many of these places would be uninhabitable
 The urban congestion throughout the country is not easily explained. It not entirely It be- gan to be felt more than two years ago. In almost any city it was difficult to secure a at hotel without long wait upon room clerk. Houses be- came everywhere and rents began to soar. It could be understood why this was manufacturing towns where industries succeeded but that does not explain why it in towns, such Phoenix. untouched by war industries

 In the whole list, embracing several hundred towns, there is none which has shown so great a proportionate growth Phoenix has made since 1s1O-of more than 25o per cent Its school popula- tion by the way in that time has increased 2S5 per cent.
 We believe that are yet only in the beginning of our most rapid growth. combination of eircum- more rapid development. There is more building go- ing in Phoenix than ever, in spite of the higher prices of materials. but building nearly fast enough We must make more room for the peo- pie who are coming and must make room for them at living rates of rentals if them to stay
