Two week after adjournment of the general assembly that "let-down" feeling ia becoming- on presslve, and a stoady flow of pessimls tlo talk bodes badly for a business-Ilk distribution of the many millions voted by that body. A day or two after adjournemnt of the legislature. Governor Morrison an nounced to the newspaper men th there would be no effort to aell bond in a market that la so little dlspoaed to bid sow. He thought material would eoma down so radically that It would ba wholly a piece of waste to undertake building- road at 140,000 mils when he felt morally sure that a cut of 40 to 60 per cent would ba pos Bible. The courcil of state agreed with him and that . Institution must face the finances when any facing la to be done. Among some of the delighted bene flciaries of this legislative munificence ia the most hopelessness. Hundreds of people looked complacently on the leg Islative doings simply and solely be cause these opponents of the big pro gram believed the selling of these bonds would be Impossible under a year or two, perhaps three. Meanwhile they expected to hear from home by indirect referendum. But Institutions which need money for new building are afraid that the bonds have been given them 'when bonds can't sell. When the leaders In the big program give ev dences of panic, those who followed an. certainly are sure to stampede. There are evidencea that the big pro gram hi going to be fought. Events are shaping themselves for a grand on- elaugh;. The Fabianism of the council of state Isn't reassuring. The hop of getting through the program sufficient ly to show that the 1921 general as sembly was wise rather than profligate, depends wholly on speed. If 2 county capitals can be hooked up by hard sur face between now and tne 1121 ie tlon. the croakers will weary of their noise. V"- Croakers Are Croaking.

Bruce Craven, who sees things In Xorth Carolina, or thinks h do which la luat as satisfactory to him self, has "aaen" this and hammered It Into the large head of Governor Cam Monriaon. Of course Craven waan't entirely polite about It, but the Ran rintnh inanro-ent la nothing if not im n.ttinnt What he aaya will be thought by a lot of people.

March 10 Th British gov. eminent nas decided to open a pub ilolty department In Dublin caatl. which In reality will be a propaganda department established with the Idea of counteracting the efficient Sinn feln propganda bureau to which is credited much of th pro-Irlh sentiment In America. Undoubtedly ther Is a feel Ing among a large peroentase of En gliahtnen that the decision ha com too late to be of benefit to the govern ment.
