, than %c. below that of midding. The
i revision committee realized, what most
of its critics seem tonable to do. that in
| the long run it is spinning value that
counts, rather _ than the temporary
ideas of Southern cotton traders. Anil
just in the same conservative spirit
that it handled the question of low
middling, the revision committee treat
ed the question of the grades above
middling and the grades below low
middling. For the time being the
values of the higher grades were pur
posely fixed lower, relative to mid
dlings. than panic-stricken short-sell
ers of these grades were paying in the
South; and the values of' the lower
grades were fixed higher than those at
which the panic-stricken holders of
these grades in the South were dump
ing them on the market. But perhans
it will appear in the long run that the
revision committee of the New York
Cotton Exchange with the long and
satisfactory experience of the exchange,
with its ample information as to the
genuine commercial value from the
manufacturing point of view of the I
different grades of cotton, has been *
fairer to the Southorr cotton producer
than his orntorb " nds have shown
themselves.”
He ridicules the prevailing notion
that the seientiflcaih- educated nhysi-
eian must be superior to the, ordinary
practicing doctor. H> catsightos the
vulgarity and "cne e k" of the voting
physicians scientifically educated nnd
iheir contempt for the old. Equally
reprebenrible is. the growing practice
of accepting the dicta of these young
men as something inspired. It is like
a comedy, he declares, to see venerable
graybeards drinking in words of wis
dom from these youths. He wants a
comic poet to do the suject full justice.
— Doctoring is an Art. j
“If doctoring were only a science.”
he go(?s on. ”if the principles of the
doctor’s calling rested only on science,
woe to the patients. Humanity would
long since have died out had its sick
been treated scientifically. Doctoring is
rather an art, one of the highest arts.
Historians have told us, and will tell
our grandchildren, how often science
las changed its chameleon appearance
and how often that has been proved to
he erroneous which was once held as
unassailable truth. Things remain
eternally the same. The changes in
science the changes in our knowl
edge show one thing clearly, and that
is that our knowledge and science of
today is just as erroneous as it was
yesterday and as it was a hundred
years ago. Only art is young and eter
nal. The physician is an artist, or, to
he more exact, only an efficient physi
cian can be an artist. The practice of
doctoring is the exercise of an art. not
the practice of a science."
"Doctor and Patient” is a most
markable chapter, a treasure house of
pointed golden sayings.
‘It is not every physician," he
serfs, “who can be the physician of
every patient. The question for all is.
and it is a terribly serious question;
Can the sick 'be given clearness of
vision? If lint. can. the physician take
the responsibility to remove ‘the veil
and show the man consecrated to death
what his fate is?"
Schweninger has heard in consulting
rooms and clinics and hospitals words
used, often thoughtlessly and without
comprehension, which pronounced arbi
trary sentence of death on listening
patients.
Treating of universities as establish
ments for training physicians, Schwen
inger says caustic things:
•The universities are an old survival.
Their teachings may serve as orna
ments for scholars, philosophers, phil
ologists, jurist; but they still remain
high schools with a curriculum for
cramming into empty heads. What is
tile use of all the memorizing and ex
aminations for a physician? Physi
cians are to be trained, not crammed,
but if you take away the cramming the
world will not believe in you and the
supply of medical students would fail.
But those who would come would jus
tify their existence. They would not
be hunters after posts: would not be
blackmailers of the sick, exploiting
them to the top of their bent; exagger
ating trifles and multiplying visits and
prescriptions to fill their pockets. They
would not make milch cows of patients.
They would be few, but they would not
be beggars appealing to the State for
assistance. And the State in their
view is the money bags of the citi
zens.
“We are not in the world for our
pleasure nor our own profit. Therefore
let us bear our burdens more worthily
as individuals not as a flock nor as a
trade. Let us be lofty and at the, same
time humble.”

1 HiS SECRETS
REV. DO. WSA. PADEN
“If you do this you will quickly come
to the conclusion that we are about
the only people on the face of the earth
with a monopoly who have never got-
the result of the pos
Not only have we failed to
make money out of it. but we have
remained poor.
“I am not talking of course, about
cotton brokers, or merchants, or bank
ers. or people in other lines of busi
ness. but about the producers—rho.qe
who actually grow the cotton: the men,
women and children who actually plant,
cultivate and gather it.
“What do you think of the fact—and
it is a fact—that only n few of the
many producers of cotton, were they
left wholly to their own resources,
would be able this year to grow any
cotton at all? How does that strike
yon? Owners of a monopoly, nnd yet
unable to grow a crop without assist
ance?
"How would that sort of business,
for instance strike John D. Rockefel
ler - ’ Did you notice the peculiar and
interesting coincidence the other day
when he gave $32,009,000 to the cause
of education? Within two days the
price of oil had gone up' 13 cents a
barrel. At that rate it won't take long
for him to get it back.
“This is not the first coincidence of
this kind that has come to my atten
tion. Reports of these largp gifts from
the beneficiaries of our protected in
dustries have been so constantly con
nected with a raise in the prices, that
I always stop to (bonder just how
much of this or that particular'dona
tion was my own. It was a mite, of
course, but mites from many people
ultimately make millions.
“And so it might be with the cotton
crop. It Is our own natural monopoly,
and there is no reason why wo should
not get together, and make it pay our
price.
"In the next place, let me call your
attention to the fact that cotton is al
ways a gold-commanding crop. The-
exporting and sale of it in foreign
countries means a return of golden
dollars to us.
“Two-thirds of the South's cotton
crop goes every year to foreign coun
tries. which is nearly equal in value
to the world’s total output of gold.
Think of it. Southern cotton growers
supplying the world every year with
values equal to the total output of
all the world's gold mines!
“And yet the people of the South
cannot grow this crop without assis
tance—and assistance which, when ex
tended this spring, will he \used next
fall to bear fhe price of our cotton!
“Now I submit again that no people
with hut one money crop can afford to
be a debtor people. Your country is a
creditor nation, solely due to your cot
ton. Why shouldn't you be a creditor
people Instead of a debtor?
"Another thing to which I wish to
call your attention is that all of us
who "have -to do with cotton and its
products are engaged in one common
industry. Cotton growing, spinning,
weaving, knitting, bleaching, dyeing,
finishing and garment making are but
successive stages of one industry. Yet
for all of these various stages there is
but one producer—he who grows the
raw cotton, as there is hut one con
sumer—he who wears the cotton goods.
"Raw cotton may be cheap, yarn
dear, and cloth dearer, which is the
situation now, but the average of these
prices, affording each branch of the in
dustry a fair division of the profits, is
only fair and just. What we want is
a natural and fair price for cotton es
tablished by the balance of supply
from the primary producer and the de
mand from the. ultimate consumer of
cotton cloth.
Is there not every reason, there
fore. for co-operation on the part of
American spinners with the producers
of raw cotton? We need it. are en
titled to it. and should have it, not
only from them, but from each and
every business man and every indi
vidual in the South.
“The South, the United States, owe
to the cotton producers debts which
they will never pay. Is there
a. Georgian so indifferent to the splen
did victories of our association since
January. 1905, and to the possibilities
of its great work in the future, who
will not aid us in combatting the
wrongs which are being heaped upon
us through this compulsory tribute to
others?
“Does not every condition, every
thought upon the situation as it con
fronts you. call aloud for and poiat to
the necessity of organization? I ap
peal for organization and a fight to
the finish. M. L. JOHNSON,

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.—The final re
port of the special committee appointed
by the board of directors of tho Penn
sylvania Railroad Company nearly a
year ago to examine into the facts con
nected with the acquisition and owner
ship by officers and employes of the
company of stock or other interest in
any company, the holding of which
could affect the performance of their
duty or the company's duty to the pub
lic. which report was made public to
day, says in brief:
"A mistaken public opinion, misin
formed as to the facts, because of the
publication of portions and not the
whole, of the testimony of the witnesses
before the interstate commerce com
mission and therefore, basing its con
clusions upon insufficient premises, has
done grave injustice to the whole serv
ice of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. That service is of more than
sixty years* growth: it is constituted,
in the main, of educated, trained and
self-respecting men, whose honorable
lives have won the esteem of those
who know them best: it has its tra
ditions of loyalty; and it has had. in
the successive officers, examples of
unselfish devotion to duty and stead
fast adherence to the right.
“Of the 2.505 officers and employes
examined, including every officer of the
several companies whose individual ac
tion or whose individual order to ant-
subordinate chief on any discrimina
tion. 26G were found to have Interests
in coal or other corporations, or firms,
or with individuals. The majority of
those interests are In corporations,
whose shares are dealt In on the open
market. Of those 266 officers and em
ployes. 231 had acquired their inter
ests by purchase. The few remaining
officers and employes (15) received
gifts of shares or interests in various
corporations.
Regrets Acceptance of Gifts.
"The committee regrets that any o r -
ficer. or employe of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company should have so far
•forgotten that, which was due to tho
service and that which was also due 1 ■>
is own character, as to accept a gift,
hose acceptance might bring a sus
picion of conflict between his official
duty and his personal interest.
"The committee has reported to the
presidents of several railroad com
panies for appropriata action, the
names of those officers and employe-
who have within the judgment of the
committee been found to have failed in
the ’ performance of their duty.
-'As the finni result of its examina
tion of whole subject committed to is
fhe committee reports that, with few
exceptions, the officers and employes of
the companies constituting the Penn
sylvania railroad system have hern
faithful to duty." %
Officers and Employes Vindicated.
On the whole, the report vindicates
officers and employes of the Penn-
ylvanla system. It is found that in
the development of the company from
between 1899 and 1907 the interests
of the stockholders in every instance
have been properly safeguarded. Tt is
declared that the terms on which in
creases in share and debt capital have
been marketed have received the com
mendation of competent and inde
pendent financiers, so that as effect!!*'
competition as possible in work of
such magnitude was obtained in plac
ing the thousands of contract for
maintenance of way and new construc
tion: that no favoritism was shown in
the purchase of supplies or equipment
and that the officers of the railroad
companies, in all engineering and con
struction work, have been a* faithful
as they were skilled. As to allegation
of favoritism to certain shippers of
freight, mainly coal, the committee re
ports "that there has not been .and
as has not been on the part of the
railway company any discrimination ns
between shippers in the facilities giv
en for the exercise for that legal
right.”
As to Individual Cars.
Much of the trouble' which led to
the allegations, the committee says,
was due to the so-called Individual
ears. In 1906 there were 27,590 indi
vidual cars in service on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. For the use of these
cars the railroad pays six mills per
mile, loaded or empty, and charges the
regular freight on the loaded cars.
While recognizing ail the disadvan
tages, however, the railroad companr
has not yet seen its way clear to do
away with the Individual cars, mainly
because equipment cannot be pro
vided rapidly enough to meet the
growth of business. On charges of-
discriminntion to favored shippers in
the bituminous coal fields, the com
mittee quotes the report of a company
of expert accountants who made an
investigation of the matter. The ac- 1
countants’ report declares that "tho
officers of the railroad company have
fair operating or other reasons to
present in explanation of such seem
ing preferences and discriminations."
Investigated Car Distribution.
“In connection with the subject of
car distribution,” the report says, "the
committee has carefully investigated
the relations of the Berwind White
Coal Mining Company to their com
pany. The lease of Harsimus pier in
New York harbor is an arrangement
by which the railroad secures a prof
itable traffic of great magnitude: so
handles that traffic that cars can ba
unloaded with the minimum of deliv
ery and returned to the mines for re
loading, has performed, at a cost rea
sonable to the railroads, the railroad's
duty of transferring coal from pier
-to boat; obtains without cost to the
railroad an adequate coaling wharf
for its large fleet of tugs and lighters
plying in the port of New York; re
ceives an income at the rate of 4 per
cent, on the assessed valuation of the
ground leased: has received reim
bursement for the cost of building the
pier; gives to the railroad company
full use of its facilities at South Am
boy coal terminal for handling the
business of general and smaller ship
pers: and does not in any respect
constitute a preference to the Ber
wind White Company.
He stated that he did not like to ar
ray ciasa against class, but that he
would not keep still and see such
heartless discrimination made against
the poor.

that while this country produces

imported last year, to say nothing of
31.000.900 worth of waste cotton. Thi.--
