Stock market flurries come and go durlng periods of great prosperity u well as In times of severe depression, and are Influenced by extraneous dltlons, so that It Is scarcely fair to accept them as an Index to business, Minr causoa operate to change the status of speculative trade in a twlnk- ling and Wall street Is a barometer rather than a cause In the business world. Railroad gross earnings form a sure index to actual conditions ma this being true, we must conclude that real business Is on tne upwara grade, for railroad gross earnings are inclined that way. Taking fifty-three of the leading railroads the country over, the Financial Chronicle, a weekly publication decidedly friendly to the railroads, shows an Increase In aggre- gate gross earning of 18,856,824, or 16.14 per cent for the month of June over tne corresponding momn iai year and these receipts exceed any for a June since 1907, when every record was broken. But, we find from still later compilation, that this increase Is still going on and for the first two weeks in July there was a total railroad gross earning of 1 1 5.- 418.8T1, for all roads reporting, which repreeenta a per cent gain. The relation of the railroads to gen- cral trade Is so close and sensitive as to preclude the possibility of serious discrepancies. Wall street does not admit tnat conditions are bright, but it could find some evidence If it chose.

As a matter of fact, in spite of the common notion that w are being overrun by them, this number of 1,041,670 is 90,000 less than the number' of Immigrants the year before, a tremendous falling off. This undoubtedly will be a mat ter of much surprise to the general public "because a million foreigners a year looks so large..

Crop rilarei Hare Value Adversity generally brings its own recompense and so crop failures, par- tial or in whole, are of value as teach ing people the lesson pf thrift and economy. This year In certain sec- tlons pf the country some crops will not be up to normal, though we seem to have got past sucn a thing as a complete crop failure. Already there is ample evidence to prove that not only farmers, but others are going to derive much profit from this partial failure, profit, which may not be sub ject to computation In dollars and cents, but which, nevertheless, has an Intrinsic money value. Continuous bumper crop seasons have enriched farmera and others, but at the same time they have made them a little less thoughtful of the tomor- row. Money has been spent for many things not altogether needed on the farms, and banks nave been exceed- Jngly generoua with their loans. Now they art drawing in very decidedly on that policy, while farmers are likely to spend only wnat money tnis year tbey need to spend. It should hot be desirable to pursue tne lines or frugality to the limit ot crippling any form of legitimate business, but it Is pot crippling business to discourage waste or excessive expenditures. Nothtng has done as much to bring about scientific, intensified methods pf farming aa crop failures. They have driven farmers and scientists to the necessity of devjslng means of in- creasing outputs. . They have led to a better system of treating the soil, selecting the seed and harvesting the product, as well as marketing it. The old way of farming was to plow, sow and depend oa the rain and sun to do the rest. Today we are producing many fold more per acre with com per a- tire Indifference to toe sun and the rain; we are going to the soil, with con-hwhlch we hare become more or less acquainted, and treating It In such ways as to compel it to give us what it has. And this never would hare been brought about so speedily and successfully without crop failures. riayinr Politics. Governor Shallenberger will deceive no one but Himself in nis latest maneuver. The evidences of bad faith In his assault on the fire and police commissioners and the chief of police of Omaha is the most apparent feature of the case. He has carefully singled out the republicans on the board, omitting any reference to Mayor Dahlman, whose public pro- nouncementg certainly entitle him to be considered along with the others M oeing oppose to me governor 8 pet. theories of law enforcement. Messrs Hoye, Hunter and Wappich have con slstently and persistently stood for the enforcement of the Slocumb law and the daylight closing law, while Mayor Dahlman has persistently and Insist ently declared in favor of a wide-open town The animus of the present outburst ia easily understood. It Is simply an effort on part of Shallenberger to strengthen himself against Dahlman In the primary fight. Several weeks ago the . governor delivered himself of a spectacular "warning" to Omaha's au- support at the primaries In Omaha and Douglas county. It Is, therefore, his plan to go before the state and parade Omaha as an iniquitous center of law breakers and law-deflers, and to prove at least, has proceeded as far as the of the Fire and police board, elected by the citizens of Omaha, be removed from office Two years ago Governor Sballen berger played both ends to the middle and was elected to his present office by a combination of the anti-Saloon league and brewery support.

In New York City a young cashier geta away with 1(00,000 and a mere bookkeeper of a trust company in Louisville wipes out the company's entire surplus of more than a million doUarg by a series .of mlsapproprla- tlons. In each case the defalcations covered a long period of time How can such thing he done? Is the question that must force itself upon the public. How is it possible that a cashier, to say nutting of bookkeeper, can rob a bank blind without the responsible beads of the bank finding it out? And 1n neither 0f these cases, no more than in many othera, Is there any suggestion that of fleers higher up -had any previous knowledge of the peculations. n is difficult to read of these frauds without coming to the con elusion that the system of business that makes such things so easily poa I ,ibie is wrong, rsdlcally wrong and that higher authority than the man wu0 commits the deed Is to blame for not removing the possibility. Banking should Jbe so fortified that no in- dividual, subordinate or otherwise, could carry on such a system of peculations. It seems strsnge that Wtn all the splendid science and klll we put into the business of banking, w have so long left this channel cf temptation and potential crime open, yjiere should be no delay In closing It. rrrrr?Trrr The efforts of the reformers to st cure what they call a "clean city" would appear much better in public If the complaints had been taken to! the police court and sworn to Instead of being filed with the governor. The reports in the recent conven tions held in Omaha are most gratify ing. Not only were the visitors hand somely treated by the cltlsens, but the committees In charge of the events find that their cash balance Is on the right side of the ledger. Omaha's reputation as a convention city has al ways been of the highest, and a few more such successes as those recently recorded will place the city in a class by itself. The frantic efforts made at .Grand Island to agree on a straddle Is an in dication ot the purpose of the Ne braska democratic leaders. They know full well that they cannot win if they take a positive stand on either of the great Issues, and hope to secure success by again practicing deception This is their stock-in-trade.

"I trust It will be many years before I have to wear crape on my sleeve," said the city salesman, quoted by the Sun, "but when that sad time does come perhaps I shall profit by a tip I picked up the other day in a tailor shop. A customer gave an order to sew crape n his sleeve while he waited. ' " "Who is deadr the tailor asked. " 'My wife,' said the man. " 'First or second?' said the tailor. " 'Second,' said the man. "Without further remarks on either side the tailor sewed on the crape. When the man put his coat on he looked at the mourning band doubtfully. " "What did you put it away down there forr he said. 'Why didn't you put It in the usual place between the shoulder and elbow r " 'Because that Isn't the proper place for mourning for a second wife,' said the tailor.

" When the Empire City Racing association closes Its gate on August 3 it is considered certain that New Tork will have seen the last of thoroughbred racing for a long time to come. True there will be the regular thirty days, meeting at Saratoga and there is also a chance that the futurity will be run over the Sheepshead Bay race track on August 30, but there will be little com fort for the New York rgce-goer in this. The big game Is at an end in this state and the victory rests with Governor Hughes. Horse racing. It is now admitted by the owners of the tracks, cannot suo ceed without betting and when the re cently enacted laws go into effect on Sep tember 1, it will be impossible for the bet ting fraternity to continue to lay odds. The new ' law makes "oral betting" as much of a crime as "bookmaking" and the track owners are held responsible for violations. Heretofore the mere posting of signs stating that gambling was not per mitted has protected the owners, but un der the new law the individual directors are now held responsible for the enforcement of the statute and none ia willing to take chaooe, so the fall meeting Will 1 be de clared off. This means the end of the rac ing industry as a money making propo-4 aitlon.

One of the Taft pollclea which will be universally approved is that of two months' vacation for everybody. The president could not have chosen a better time than the end of July to promulgate xni at tractive proposition nor a better place than Bar Harbor, where two months is counted only a short vscatlon. It is true that midsummer I th only time when the" denizen of war Jtiamor are called upon to exert themselves, but that illustrates all the better the merit of the general proposition. It i expected, of course, that during the two months' sus pension the Innkeepers, boatmen and gen eral purveyors should continue te work; but they can take thoir holiday at any other time of year. If they can confine a year's work to two or three month the rest of u might get it into ten. At the more leisurely pace of former generations, the human machinery easily ran fifty weeks In the year; now we run so fast and run down so soon that w need at least two month in the twelve to "tank up." Since not all of u earn enough in ten month to last us for twelve,' or can easily be spared so long from our places In the general organisation, the only truly economical plan would be for us ail to atop together.
