The Solid South.

Chairman Hays in his landslide pre-
diction speaks Of. bright republican
prospects in the south. The solid south

states-will. he thinks. be broken this
time. 1t may be. But if it is broken
the achievement will be an extraor.
binary one. q
Just how extraordinary, the figures
Of four years ago show. In@1916 the
two old parties in the states mentioned
recorded themselves at the polls as

Skies Frightening.

Trade reports and masters OF indus
try quoted in the press leave no doubt
as to the stability and soundness OF
American business. Those persons
who have been predicting the economic
tragedy called a panic are not so nu'
merous as they were a few months
ago. Neither are they so strident IN
their wailing There has been no
shattering postwar slump. There
seems to be setting in price-deseent,
but it is at a gradual and not a dis
turbing rate. The price cuts started
at the sources of production, and have
already extended in some lines OF COM
modities to retail distributors. This
has been brought about in part by the
initiative and foresight OF large pro-
ducers and in very large part by an
unorganized strike of the pubic
against what it knew to be nearly pro-
hibitive prices and believed to be un-
warranted prices. General consump-
ton of goods was being cut down to
the lowest terms-that is, to positive
needs. The result Of price reductions
is to stimulate consumption and the
balance between producers and con-
sumers may soon be restored.
The note to be gathered from many
reports and news items is that during
the year there has been a marked les
sening in the absorption Of those COM
modities commonly classified as lux
uries. The extravaganza and riotous
buying, no matter at what price,
which might be-, observed during the
war has subsidized. Crops In most Sec
lions are abundant and the prices gem
orally are giving a profitable return
to the men that grew them. q
The lowering cost Of goods and the
indisposition Of merchants to carry
extraordinary stocks during the price
transition period, and the indisposdtion
Of banks to make loans On stocks Of
unusual size. inyentoried at top prices,
is having its effect ON the money mar
ket. High money rates have discour-
aged borrowing, for speculation and
for most purposes except the urgent
expansion Of production facilities
These and other causes are bringing

which resulted in the occupation of
the village of Kozatin, southwest of
