July s.—Capital will show no fight over the nomination of Woodrow Wilson. Nor would it have been stam peded by the selection of Clark, Under wood. Harmon or any other candidate. Capital's new policy is to woo the pub lic more and the politicians less. If it can square itself with the great mass of the people it will not spend millions in win ning over the good will of the politicians. "Thrice is he armed who hath his quar rel just." Capital is conscious that its position ts less open to condemnation than it was five years ago or ten years ago. There has been a financial housecleaning. All nooks and corners have not yet been swept clean —they never will be until a prescription for remaking human nature has been discovered. But in certain di rections the cleaning process has accom plished much. Take our great railroad corporations. How often do we now hear es them corrupting, the dominating state legislatures? How often are wholesale lootings of railroad properties attempted today? Have not the relations between the railroads and the public undergone remarkable improvement? w * * Then capital has become reconciled to real reductions in tariff schedules. It ex pects few favors in this connection from the progressive Republicans and fewer still from the Democrats. But standpat ism is no longer a fetich. What our fitianciers do not view with comfort is the prospect of three parties in the field for the next four months. The one thing that the financial world can not withstand is acute uncertainty. Once it knows what is to be done it can adjust itself in advance; but if it be kept gyess ing. if it be doomed to stay in the dark, it becomes nervous. The worst feature of the political outlook, from the capital istic viewpoint, in the confusion, the com plication. the doubt that a triangular con test will involve. There is still a feeling in certain influential circles that Roose velt will withdraw, despite his protesta tions to the contrary. Today optimistic interviews will, no doqbt, be* given out by Wall Street peo ple assuring everybody that everything Is all right and that Wilson need not be re garded as a menace. But it will be pass ing strange if no outburst of nervousness is witnessed between now and November 4 Incidentally, should the stock mar ket suffer a severe slump, a great many potential investors would act promptly. Quite a few are waiting and hoping for just such a break. •» * - Here is the philosophic summation of the politico-economic-financiai situation Irawn up by one of New York's promi lent investment banking firms: It is evident from the political de velopments of the last few weeks that the lines of cleavage between the two established parties have become less sharply drawn on the old issues, and that in their stead ’new forces are being created which, for better or for worse, appear destined to determine tn what extent the so-called "pro gressive" politics are to govern the attitude of the nation toward vested capital. That business itself is not worrying over-much about the future solution of these problems is evident from the steady flow of trade inu.cated by the increase in total clearings (notwith standing the great reduction in activ ity on the New York stock exchange); by the material advance in basic metals; by the increasing demand for labor; by the decrease in the number of idle cars, and. to mention no other, b> the volume of our foreign trade, which reached during the fiscal year just ended the enormous total of four billions of dollars, easily the largest total in the history of our country. As these results were achieved while the general complaint of indifferent business was being pretty generally voiced all over the country, it seems pertinent to ask whether a more active development would really have been healthy. Ate are of no two minds in assert ing that anything in. the shape of a boom would have produced a much less sound condition, and would in evitably have laid the seeds for fu ture retribution. • • • l-nanimlty politically has not yet been trrived at by Big Business. If all three candidates run "Wall Street" will have difficulty in agreeing upon a favorite. Real Estate For Sale. Real Estate For Sale.

That the Georgia cotton crop will he far below that of last year is indicated by the July report of the state depart ment of agriculture made public today. Commissioner Connor's figures show cotton prospects in the state are but 64 per cent of those of 1911. Corn shows but little better prospects, the estimate of the corn crop being 70 per cent. The estimate given on hay and forage crops is 86 per cent and on the potato crop 83 per cent. In discussing the present conditions. Commissioner Connor says: “In nearly every instance the reports show that the cause of present condi tion and prospect of the cotton crop Is due to excessive rains, cool weather and, In a great many cases, wilt or black root. Excessive rains ano cool weather have also greatly affected the corn crop. A great number of reports showed that bud worms are proving very damaging to the. ■corn crop.” TAFT PLAYS GOLF AT SUMMER HOME; CLUB MEN PAY RESPECTS BEVERLY, MASS., July s.—Presi dent Taft motored to the Myopia golf links today for his first game of the summer on his favorite grounds. The president sat alone in the machine with the exception of the chauffeur. Behind him as usual trailed three secret ser vice men in another automobile. The visit of the president had been anticipated and there were quite a number of club members to extend the compliments of the season. The presi dent was congratulated upon his Chi cago victory. Regardless of the heat President Taft enjoyed a lively golf game, after which he took a ride up the north shore. Mrs. Taft and her daughter. Helen, were In town doing some shopping in the cool of the early morning. They greeted many shop people pleasantly recalling their names readily. President Taft still has quite a few influ ential friends in financial circles. Roose velt. too. has not alienated all his old capitalistic backers. Nor Is the Demo cratic party without supporters below Malden Lane, for the course pursued by the Republicans has aroused the ire of many corporate interests. The truth is that no cut-and-dried program has been arranged by "Wall Street." Whether therp can be a "get-together” movement this time is somewhat doubtful, although birds of a feather do have a habit of flocking together. 9 9 9 A banker enjoying a high reputation for acumen made this astonishing remark to me the other day: "The big people down here have made all the money they need for the present. They can afford to let the people have their own way for a while.” • * • And it looks as if the people were de termined to have It whether capital ac quiesces or protests.
