No wonder Col. Greene was angry
with Mr. Thomas W. Lawson! At
their Boston conference the other day,
It is said, he produced checks to the
amount of $4,300,000 which he said he
had paid out in two days in con
sequence of the slump in Greene
'stocks, and this slump‘he attributed to
Lawson's bear attack. A man with a
grievance of that size may be excus
ed for ‘‘blowing off a little hot air."
It is generally the case when a very
rich man dies that his estate is found
to be much less valuable than it was
believed to be during his lifetime. But
an exception to the rule is found in
the case of the late William L. El
kins, of Philadelphia. Mr. Elkins, was
supposed to be worth about $20,000,000
to $26,000,000. The reports of the exec
utors show that he left an estate of
above $31,000,000.
Congressman Livingston the other
day introduced a resolution calling on
the Department of Agriculture for all
the data in detail upon which the de
partment's cotton report of Dec. 3 was
•based. Following the publication of
the report, it will be recalled, there
was a marked decline in the market.
Congressman Livingston says that the
slump, occasioned by the bureau's re
port entailed upon the cotton planters
a loss of not less than $76,000,000. He
wants to know how the statistician
reaches his conclusions, in view of the
Act that such Immense Interests are
Involved.

REMEDIES FOR COTTON CHOP
EVILS.
Mr. D. A. Thompkins of Charlotte,
N. C., in his paper read before the
boll weevil convention at Shreveport,
La., advocated warehouses for sur
plus cotton. Among other things he
said: “The difficulty of offering the
world a big crop, then a little crop
and then a moderate crop, and then
a big crop, and so on, will have to
■be remedied by devising a system of
warehouses in which the surplus of
a big crop may be kept and carried
over to a time when it is necessary
to supplement a small crop. This can
be done and it will be done. Cotton
should never vary from 8 to 16 cents
in any one year. There is ample cap
ital in this country to carry stored
cotton at a fair rate of interest, and
not have it vary 100 per cent, on
speculative movements. Nothing Is
needed to do this, and thus get aver
ages instead of extremes, except the
facilities to put cotton in shape to be
a good bank security.”
It seems to be us that Mr. Thomp
kins’ remedy is based upon the sup
position that the next crop after a
big crop Is certain to be a small one.
Suppose instead of a small one it
should toe a big one, or at least one
large enough to supply the demand?
Suppose there should be three big crops
In succession? Three such crops are
r.ot at all Improbable. Wouldn’t the
fact that there was a big surplus of
cotton stored in warehouses depress
the price? Asa matter of fact does
It make much difference In the price
whether the cotton is in warehouses,
on the farms of the farmers or in the
warehouses of the spinners if the quan
tity is known? As soon as the size
of a crop is known is not the price
of cotton approximately fixed? The
demand can always be pretty accu
rately determined and the price de
pends upon the supply and demand.
The prices of wheat, and corn vary
about ias much as the price of cotton,
and yet there are great warehouses
for storing them, and the banks are
always ready to lend money on wheat
and corn certificates.
There is no doubt that the warehouse
system assists speculators in making
corners in wheat and corn. Would it
not do the same thing in respect to
cotton ?
As there seems to be a strong sen
timent In favor of the warehouse sys
tem for cotton it ought to be thorough
ly discussed. A mistake would prove
to be costly for both cotton farmers
and investors in warehouses.
IS SMOOT DOOMED t
Those who are following the tes
timony that is being given by Mor
monsl in the investigation of the
C harges against Senator Smoot of
Utah, that is being conducted by the
Senate Committee on Elections, have
probably come to the conclusion that
there Is very little chance for him to
retain his seat. The impression is
gaining ground that the committee
w ill report, almost unanimously,
against him.
It has been pretty clearly shown
that a Mormon, especially an officer of
the Mormon Church, cannot be a good
citiaen. He takes tan oath which
binds him to serve his church before
his country. Besides, the church
doesn’t confine Itself to religious mat
ters. It undertakes to control all Mor
mons in all their relations of life. It
dictates to them in political and re
ligious matters. In the recent elec
tion, for instance, every Mormon, ac
cording to the testimony, was direct
ed to vote the Republican ticket, not
only In Utah, but in all of the ter
ritories and states in which Mormons
have a residence. This was done prob
ably for the purpose of placating the
Republican party and getting the Re
publican majority in the Senate to
permit Mr. Smoot to retain his seat.
It wouldn't be surprising if the
committee having charge of the in
vestigation should say that the time
will come, tf the present conditions of
affairs in Utah and other Western
states and territories, in which Mor
mons have a habitation, isn’t correct
ed, when the governments of these
states and territories and the .national
government will have to say whether
they rule in them are only second in
importance to the Mormon Church,
and that this question might as well
be settled now as at some future
time.
There is no doubt that polygamy is
practiced by the Mormons and their
officials with as much impunity now
as at any time in the past. Neither is
there any doubt that the Mormon
Church teaches doctrines tpat are
inimical to our institutions. That be
ing the case, it would be a serious
mistake to give Senator Smoot a soat
in the Senate. He would simply use
his position to further the designs and
purposes of the Mormon Church. The
thing to do is to make the Mormons
understand that if they remain citi
zens of the United States they have
got to obey the laws of the United
States.
OUGHT OI R DOORS BE Ol*E\ TO
THKMf
The Brooklyn Eagle makes a strong
plea for keeping open our doors to the
Japanese. It points out their good qual
ities and says there is no reason for
apprehending trouble from them.
There is no doubt of course that they
make the very best kind of servants,
and that as mechanics they cannot be
excelled. And they are Industrious and
peaceable.
But there is the same objection to
them that exists to the Chinese As
a matter of fact they are no better
workers than the Chinese, and are no
more willing to obey the laws of the
land. We have shut out the Chines#
because they threatened to come in
such numbers se to practically mo

to accommodate them. If our doors
should be left open to them they
would come here, in ever-increasing
numbers, and trouble would follow.
The native laborers would make war
upon them and the European immi
grants would be hostile to them.
But that wouldn’t be the main trou
ble. They cannot be assimilated any
more than the Chinese can. They
would form colonies of their own, and
very soon they would have Interests
inimical to the white people. This
condition of affairs might not come
about in less than a score of years.
Perhaps not in less than half a cen
tury, but It would come.
It is evident therefore that in dis
cussing the question as to whether or
not the Japanese shall be excluded,
the fact as to whether they are peace
able and industrious is not the only
one to be considered. There are other
matters, matters of the greatest im
portance to the welfare of the nation.
A JAMESTOWN CELEBRATION
I’ROIIAHLK.
While Congress will hardly appro
priate $5,000,000 for an industrial ex
position at Jamestown, to celebrate the
first settlement of the English in this
count ry. the indications are that it
will favor an appropriation for a cel
ebration of some kind. The sub-com
mittee which has the matter in charge
favors an international naval and
merchant marine demonstration and
exhibition in the harbor of Hampton
Roads. A celebration of that sort
would be much more popular than the
one first proposed. As we said some
time ago. the country is tired of great
industrial exhibitions, and if there
should be one at Jamestown, modeled
on that at St. Louis, the chances are
it would be a failure pecuniarily, if
not in other respects.
A great international naval and
merchant marine demonstration, how
ever, would be something new, and
would attract attention. No doubt
Congress will favor something of the
kind, and if it does it will have the
approval of the entire country. It
would be a mistake, however, to at
tempt anything like that which was
seen at St. Louis so soon after the St.
Louis celebration, especially as there is
to be a similar exposition at Portland
next year.
CARNEGIE HEROES.
Much interest has been aroused in
all parts of the country In the hero
fund established by Mr. Andrew Car
negie. Heretofore, there has been some
doubt as to what would constitute a
Carnegie hero, but now there has been
made public a statement that tends
to elucidate the matter. No awards
will be made for some months, and
then only to those who have volun
tarily and out of the line of their duties
risked their own lives to slave others,
or have perished in the effort to save
life. Each case is to be investigated
by the trustees of .the hero fund, and
there is to be no haste in any case.
Some sixty cases are now before the
trustees in proper form, but it is not
in the least likely that all of them
will receive aw'ards. It is strongly sus
pected that some of them are fraudu
lent, while others are trivial and still
others the work of cranks. All cases
must conform to the rules. The mere
saving of a life will not entitle the
saver to a Carnegie medal if the life
saving was incidental to the
regular routine of duty. Thus the men
of the Life Saving Service will not
be entitled to Carnegie medals if they
rescue shipwrecked crews as a part
of their regular duties. Nor will the
young man who swims out and saves
the life of a woman floundering beyond
her depth be counted a Carnegie hero,
unless it can be shown that he swam
into the very jaws of death, when it
was not his duty to do so, in order to
effect the rescue. In short, to be a
Carnegie hero, one must do an ex
tremely brave act entirely outside the
line of his duty and in utter disregard
of the consequences to his own life.
It is likely that the trustees of the
Carnegie hero fund will have to do
with more fakirs and frauds than with
heroes. Persons who perform real
acts of heroism are not actuated by
any desire for a medal or a reward.
The real hero Is modest, and Invariably
refuses to be paraded before the world.
Most of all would he decline to be the
means of advertising Mr. Andrew Car
negie’s wealth and so-called public
spirit. Under the Carnegie hero scheme
Carnegie gets the notoriety and the
hero gets a bit of brass or gold herald
ing the iron-master’s appreciation of a
brave act boldly accomplished, in
every instance It will be Mr. Carnegie
in first place, and Mr. Hero in second.
The commission in charge of .the fund
will be extremely fortunate if it suc
ceeds in avoiding the putting of brav
ery on a commercial basis.
REPRESENTATION BY YOTF.S CAST.
Notwithstanding the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution, all ap
portionments of representation in Con
gress and the Electoral College have
heretofore been based on population
as provided in the original constU
t.ution. Now, however, there are cer
tain Republican politicians, notably
Representative Morrill of Pennsyl
vania, who are endeavoring to fly into
the face of precedent and public opin
ion and have passed a bill apportioning
representation on the basis, not of pop
ulation, but of votes cast.
Suppose that the vote of a state were
to be mude the busts of rspr-sentation;
there is slight room for doubting that
the state of Pennsylvania would short
ly be represented in the lower House
of Congress by the majority of the
members. Indeed. it u quite
likely that the city of Philadelphia
would speedily be In a position to out
vote all the reel of the country in the
national House of Representatives.
New York city has thres times the
population of Philadelphia, and yst In
the last election Philadelphia polled
more than KM,WM votes in excess of
the vote of New York! The Balti

Pennsylvania, and with the liberel
spirit with whbb that law Is admin
faMeied, M would be Just as easy to

there he any dould of tha truth of
this assertion. In Philadelphia the Re
publican machine registers and votes
dogs, cats, chickens, names on tomb
stones, book titles, and names from
fiction, history and the Bible. ”At re
cent elections.” says the Sun. “it has
been said that the professional voter
in Philadelphia was reproached if his
patriotic activities did not result in
the casting of sixteen ballots on elec
tion day.” So anxious were the au
thorities to see that the patriotic vot
ers performed their full duties that
policemen were detailed to accompany
them to the polls and assist them in
depositing the full sixteen votes each
required of them. Why shouldn’t the
authorities and the police require of
the patriotic voters 100 or 1,600 votes
each, In the place of 16 votes? There
is no negative reason. Under the bill
of Representative Morrill of Pennsyl
vania, there is no reason why Pennsyl
vania, In the hands of “the gang,”
should not dominate the national
House of Representatives on the basis
of apportionment according to the
number of votes cast.
Before 4,000 leading Episcopal church
men in Chicago the other day. Bishop
Anderson invited attention to the
needs of the city in which they were
gathered for missionary work. He
pointed out that Chicago contained
7,000 saloons; that last year showed
there were 17,000 boy prisoners in the
various penal institutions; that 85 per
cent, of the juvenile criminals of the
city had no religious teaching. “It
is time,” he said, “that the churches
and citizens of Chicago were waking
out of their fancied security. Crime
is frightfully on the gain.” He ex
pressed the opinion that paganism
threatened the prevalence of Chris
tianity in the city. While all of this
may be true, it is probably just as
true that Chicago contributes more to
foreign missions ‘than It does to the
weeding out of sin and shame and
suffering within its own borders.
Somehow the heathen in Japan, or
China, or Africa, always appeal to us
more powerfully than do the heathen
at our own doors.
The Raleigh (N. C.) News and Ob
server contains an editorial under the
headline, “Raise Hay and Bacon.” But
why should our esteemed contemporary
trouble itself with respect to the ele
vation of the Secretary of State and
the Senator from Georgia, when it
must know very well that there is no
possibility of further advancement for
either of them? Secretary Hay is not
a politician in the ordinary sense of
the word. He probably couldn't con
trol a corporal’s guard of delegatee at
a national convention; and the chances
are that he wouldn’t want to do it. And
Senator Bacon was born on the wrong
side of the Potomac river to hope to
achieve a higher position than that
which he now has. If it were possi
ble to raise Hay and Bacon we should
be only too pleased to give assent to
the proposition. Meanwhile we are
ready to agree to the suggestion that
the farmers can do no better than give
especial attention to hay and bacon.
It is just like Senator Cockrell of
Missouri, to accept the $7,500 Interstate
Commerce commissionership, when he
might have had the $12,500 Panama
Canal commissionership. It is con
ceivable that an Ohio statesman would
have taken the job paying the smaller
salary ?

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
“The protestants against the seating
of Smoot of Utah as a member of the
United States Senate seem to have es
tablished thus far that the apostle
took an oath of loyalty to his church
and has kept it, and also that he
wears underclothes. If these things
bar him from eligibility to a Senate
seht he would be cast out without
further ado. The Constitution must be
upheld.”
The Houston Post (Dem.) says:
"The South nominated Parker, and It
gave him a greater plurality this ye(ar
than it gave Bryan in 1900. It was
the Democracy of the great North
that went to pieces. Apparently, the
Northern Democracy is a* unable to
rally to a conservative candidate and
platform as It was to a radical candi
date and platform. It would be use
less to speculate as to what line of
party policy might bring about cohe
sion. but It is evident that the suc
cesafui plan has not been evolved
yet.”
The Columbia <R. C.) Record (Dem.)
says: “The truth of the matter la that

Filling a Long Felt Want.
“If you’ve got a minute to listen to
me,” said the caller, a man in a faded
black coat, according to the Chicago
Tribune, "I think I can interest you in
an idea for anew card game. Its an
improvement on these detective games
they’re playing nowadays."
“The market is glutted with that
sort of thing already,” answered the
publisher.
“But this is different. Its entirely
new. For the ground work of it al
most any kind of card game will do.
The scheme is to make the real win
ner of the game the fellow that has
the fewest torn cards after its over.
Each one will try to tear all the oth
ers' cards. See?”
“There’s something in that,” mused
the publisher. “It will make business
livelier. But ”
“That isn’t the real nub of it, though.
The feature I'm banking on is this:
The player that stops yelling a single
moment, and gets caught at it, is ruled
out of the game.”
“That's the idea!” exclaimed the pub
lisher, enthusiastically. “That’s all
right! There’s a million dollars in
it. Sit down and let’s come to terms.”
Cause for Encouragement.
A Southern representative, who is
good natured and always tries to make
the best of everything, was discussing
the one-sided election last month with
a number of friends in the cloak room,
says the Charlotte Observer.
"My friends,” he said, “we have no
cause to be discouraged, for we have
something left yet. The Republicans
didn’t quite take all, though they came
dangerously near doing so. I am con
soled by a story I heard of a young
fellow down my way who got the Tex
as fever and went West several years
ago. He couldn’t hold his own with
the cowboys, and after a time he came
home—just how I can’t stay, ibut he
managed to get on the outskirts of his
home town, and he sent a note to his
father, saying:
“ ‘Dear Father: Please send me a
suit of clothes, a shirt and a pair of
shoes. I have a hat.’
“Now, friends, the opposition took all
except our head-gear—our name—and
we can cling to that.”
The Wedding Was Pulled Off.
The gay, Impressionistic way in
which the country editor may write up
the affairs of his constituents is il
lustrated in the following from “The
Oskaloosa Independent:
‘AI Mennifield and Mrs. Hodge-Page
were married last Monday night.
Judge Davis performed the ceremony.
Through some misunderstanding, Men
nifield was kicked out of the home by
‘Andy’ Hodge, son of the bride, earlier
in the evening, and went to his own
home out of humor and out of the
notion of marrying. The other Iboys,
however, went out and pacified him,
and gave him, such assurances that he
came to town and went through the
ordeal. ‘Andy’ exhibits new half
soles on his shoes, and says the old
ones were tom off when he kicked his
future pa, and declares that the lat
ter soared ten feet through the air.
‘Andy’ makes some dire threats yet,
but it is hoped he will be reconciled
and peace will reign.”
A Cbic Retort.
Mr. Choate’s quickness at repartee,
says Lippincott’s, is well illustrated by
the following story; During a “week
end” at an English country house his
neighbor at breakfast one morning
chanced to be a pretty American who
had come to misfortune in trying to
manipulate her egg in the English
fashion. With face full of dismay she
turned to him:
“Oh, Mr. Choate, what shall I do?
I’ve dropped an egg!”
“Cackle, madam, cackle,” answered
the ambassador.

the New York Tribune.
“Where my money? I want my

“How I know where yo’ money?”
said the president contemptuously.
"Where de money when de white folks’

The sick man had called his lawyer,
says Judge. ”1 wish to explain again

The attorney held up his hand re
assuringly. “There, there!” said he.
“Leave that all to me.”
The sick man sighed resignedly.
“I suppose I might as well.” said he,
