LEGISLATION INIMICAL TO COTTON.
‘•There Is fsr more denser to the lesitlmato oottoo interests of
the South In the current tendency of lestilotlre thought tn the
Southern states than there Is In bumper crops and m»r»«* ma
nipulation. because laws such as those now pending In Alabama,
Arkansas, Texas and. Tennessee, which do not discriminate Be
tween necessary trad# facilities and onnecaasary bucket shops,
cannot fall. If enacted, to offset adversely the farmer sad spot
cotton merchant by fenfiangnUr placing both at a disadvantage
tn marketing the crop."
The above statement Is made by Colonel Henry -C. Heater, superin
tendent and secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. He need*
no Introduction to the cotton world, because he Is known wherever cot
ton is bandied. His name never appears In print as a "bull" or a bear
on cotton. Neither does tbs “dope artist" send out the tip that “Hester
Is long” or that "Hester Is short of cotton—look for a rise," or a "de
cline." as the case may be. Ha Is a statistician—has a world-wide reputa-
tatlon as such. He Is the Southern authority on the movement of cotton
from the farmer to the market and from the market to the spinner, and
has given many years of study to this subject. He knows cotton and Is
thoroughly competent to make the statement quoted above. What be has
to say should be carefully considered by tha law-makers In the states hav
ing bills to prohibit dealing In futures under deliberation, and. If possible,
only such taws should be passed as will giva the seller an equal footing
with the buyer.
The buyer Is an Important tnd absolutely necessary person when
cotton begins to move; but as It takes two to make a trade, a seller Is
also n necessity.' After cotton leaves tha farmer's hands, his responsi
bility ceases. Not so with the buyer. There are now some ;,(>00.000
bales of cotton in the visible supply, a large portion of which la held by
the buyer. Tba coat of carrying this enormous amount of cotton Is con
siderable. Tha farmer haa already received a aatlafactory price for It—
has made his profit. The buyer Is entitled to a Jiroftt. and In order to se
cure It. he has had without hindrance a safe method to protect himself
against loss. The law has allowed him to “hedge.'' This els** of trad
ing Is called legitimate by Colonel Hester, and Is undoubtedly a benefit
to both buyer and teller.

MU8I0 "DEMOCRATIC" AND "REPUBLICAN."
A correspondent of The New York Times protesta against the sfupld
custom of drowning Ibe voices of singors pith tho braying orchestra.
He wrltea:
We pay good money to hear the alugera primarily—the orches
tra secondarily, hut the reverie la forced upon us.
I haven't beard the voices In • climax the past live years.
"I wish," groaned one sufferer at the opera the other day.
"that whenever the alngers approach a climax half the orches
tra would become -temporarily paralyzed—”
. "And the-Otherhalf faint away," fervently chimed In hla com
pfft■ 'th»«i mg iwullif hair I lift vnlftft* ins|fllll nf flddlea Slid

Is there not some way to convince managers and conductors
that the sound of the Instruments should constantly be kept far,
far below that of the voices—more particularly In climaxes?
Anybody who can and will acrompllsh reform In this respect
will have Carnegie nr Rockefeller beat to a frazzle as a philan

Now. ordinarily this Is not In our line. We are quite sure the musi
cians will declare that it la none of our business, and will answer any
thing we may say by the remark that we don't kuow what we arc talking
about.

THU LAW AND THE ."UNION,”
Judge Cavanaugh, of Chicago. In getting together a Jury last week for
the trial of an Important ciise. found upon the panel a young man who
■tated that lie was a “Union man."
"Well." said the Judge, "would that interfere with your Impartial
Judgment aa a Juror?"
"Yes." said the young man boldly. "Tbe union Is my best friend
and ir n union men was on trial before the Jury nnd I Wes on It, I would
give the union man the best of it, no niktter what the law or the facts
might be."
Nothing could better Illustrate than this Incident the difference In the
character and caliber of the material North and South from which Juries
■re drawn. There Is no union man In Georgia and wo doubt If there le one
In the South who would entertain or express such sentiments as these of
the Chicago Juror.
In that wild composite conglomeration of peoples who make up the
citizenship of Chicago, all Just conception! of the duties and responsibili
ties of the cltlsen In a republican government are too frequently hurled
In the blind prejudices of class and organization that touches the Imme
diate and selfish Interest of the Individual. There Is no appreciation of
popular government and no hereditary or acquired resiiect for the law
made by the people themselves.
It Is much to the credit of Judge Cavanaugh that he did not grow an-
grv in hla rebuke to the Ignorant and monstrous eoufesaloti of the dis
charged juror. He spoke to him kludly and Instructively In these words
of wisdom and guidance which make good reading anywhere.
"Young man." said he, "I can scarcely believe that yon mean
Just what you aay. You may have many friends among union men.
but they should nol stand before the lew. There Is no other
friend yon have who Is as good a friend to you aa the law.
"It made provision for you before you were born; It enables
vou to wear that coat on your back, those shoes on your feet, or
aome one stronger than you would take them from you. Tbe law
makes It itoaslble for you to earn wages; without It you could
not collect your wages even though you earned them. It Is a
guard over your house: It atands guard over you. your property,
vout reputation, your life, and If you are tick and friendless It will
take care of you audieok after you. If y ou are dying. It will pro-
tect your body.
"Amen may be friendly to labor unions—yea. but no labor union
has jver been the friend to you that the law has been. There Is no
organization' that haa been the friend to you that the law has
l-een. You ought to hare respect for the law above any other In-
Mltutton."
Thoughtful people who read the statement of the young Chicago Juror
<>r foreign birth, will realize In pari some of the apprehensions which
move The Georgian tn go slowly and to urge caution and rigid discrimi
nation on the part of our Immigration agents who are bringing new peoples
from other countries to take part iu the future making of our laws, the
rendering of our verdicts and the establishment nf our clvlltutlon.
We ean get better foreigners then the dese to which this man lie-
loogs. l,ot us tee to It that our agents do not bring us any like him.
And we are too well proven a friend to labor not to suggest that
tbla wlae aud kindly lecture of Judge Cavanaugh be (ranted lu Its lodges
and read In the public meetings wherever public crises or private quar
rels between classes make ll necessary to keep the majesty ol the people's
law above all other causes sud considers Hons.
IN jusnas TO pOtTKCmtAK TAYLOK.
Councilman Taylor's resolution Adopted at tbe session of council held
Saturday has brought down upon Ms bead more criticism than teems to be
due him Individually. ^
' While It seems to be true that the working out of bis suggestion In
volves tbe removal of tbe dead podr. bit resolution wsh to tbe effect
that a committee be appointed to Investigate the conditions surrounding
certain pane of tbe burying ground (a question, and It was 1 unanimously
adopted by council, which thus aeeumed responsibility ao far as the pri
mary Investigation le concerned.
The Georgian‘g editorial of Tuesday gave our view* on the subject
of removal of tbe dead for poaelbly selfish ends, but Councilman Taylor
should not be made an Individual target for critlclajn In the matter.'
If the proposition Is Ill-advised, aa now appeari to The Georgian, there
will be ample time and opportunity to avoid It when the special commit
tee of Investigation shall have reported to council. Ik tbe meantime.
Tbe Georgian. In Ite desire to be entirely Just to Mr. Taylor and to council
■■ a body, shall refrain from further comment on the matter.
TBE CONSERVATIVE VIEW Of IMMIGRATION.
The notably Urge attendance and the. keen Interest manifested et
tbe Immigration Convention In Macon Is fully justified by tbe vast Im
portance of the subjects under discussion.
We ere passing now through a transition period In the industrial aud
social life of tbe South. The idleness tad sblftlessnes* of tbe negro,
hie steady exodus from the fields of agriculture to the cltlea, and bit
Increasing Indisposition to manual work have upaet the entire labor sys
tem of tbe South.
Tbe scarcity of labor has further been Increased by tbe prnsperoue
conditions of the workingclasses which have rendered .It possible for
these men to live and prosper upon lighter work In other tines. We are
in need. too. of better and more tklllful belp In our domestic life and ser-
vice. 7. \
Tbe ^abor problem furnishes the largest justification for tbe Interest
manifested in immigration, and the neoeasIHes of our people In thle de
partment ere so great ai to tempt ne to overlook many prudentUI and
far-seeing precautions which ought to surround tbe bringing of new peo
ples Into this most conservative and moat American of all section* of oar
country.
Beyond the labor stringency there U a material demand for Immigra
tion along other lines.
Our people desire an increase of populaUon, because of the general
desire to live In a populous state and to outrank our nearest state rivals
lit numbers and Importance.
Our people desire an Increase of population because we have much un
occupied territory which we desire to see settled and Improved.
We desire an Increase of population because more people paying
taxes will reduce the per capita of taxation to tbe-Individual citizen.
We desire an increase because these new peopfes will dveate a larger
market end an increasing demand for our manufactured product*, for our
raw material, for our wholesale and retail etores, and for all tbe things
which our people have to sell.
_ We_wl»h Immigrants to come to Georgia to establish now industries,
-aud In tarmac nnr supply nf all products lo meet the demand orour~dwir~
and other states.
To sum It all up wo are inviting new people* here, because, pros
pering and prosperous as we arc, we went to get rich faster sud prosper
more abundantly than we are today.
All of there are good and natural reasons for sustaining and helping
the Immigration movement which Is being earnestly planned at Macon. All
good citizens must feel an Interest In the outcome of that convention.
If we are looking only for today and for the Immediate tomorrow,
there need be no prudent reserve and no holding back In the fullest and
and most unhesitating pledge of co-operation In advance with everything
that tbe Immigration Convention may do.
But there are questions Involved here fully as deep end In many re
spects even more vital than tbe material considerations which are mov
ing the enthusiastic friends of Immigration. - —— :
We are not to poor or ao needyln Georgia that we should rush un
thinking and unguarded Into pollciet that may bring ua trouble In the fu
ture. We are growing faat enough to aatlafy any reasonable people. We
are getting rich and richer every year. Our numbers fire enlarging by
Our territory Is being-settled wholesomely If slowly, and every year
— Will multiply the Increeee of our own people who In the course of time must
forex a population os dense as Germany s and create a demand for every
aorc of our land and all our work that la to be done. We need not fear
that the coming years will see our farms In weeds or our workshops de
serted.
We In the South are by common couseut the most representatively
American, and the moat Intelligently cohaervatlre part of the American
people. Thta la a fact of universal recognition. It means much to ua
now In repute and dignity, and In the future It will mean more to ua of
safety and progress along high lines of civilization. The people of Chi
cago and New York and Cleveland and puffalo cannot boast of an'electo
rate aa clean and American as that which holds In Us bands the present
solution of our Southern problems. That Jargon of foreign tongues In
these great centers la not hareber than tbe discord In sentiment and
ideals between the natives and the aliens who must compromise their
wide differences as best they can In public affairs.
It 1* worth more than any thoughtless man can ever conceive, that
the civilisation of this American and rapidly growing South should be
kept faat In the traditions of the native born who have made It and hold
it today.
We aay earnestly and honestly that there la no lutontlou In these
lines to handicap or discourage In any way the notable movement for
bringing more people to Qeorgta.
This le the single suggestion we would make.
That because we are doing ao well and grading so prusjieroualy as a
purely American people, we can well afford to gd slowly and carefully In
making any rbauget In our populaUon. Wc do not need to sacrifice any
principle or any policy to do this now.
We can eliminate the elements of haste and eagerness from our Im
migration plans. We can well afford lo be severely select and discrimi
nating In our Immigrants. We can go slowly, choose our new settlers
with great care and absolute Independence, and under no circumstances
should we rush to eager and pndellberate competition In the great mar
ket of men who are waiting to be brought tc our shores.
l-et us gq.out after worthy Immigrant*, for wc need them, but let us
vigorously bar all the cranks and paupers and lams which Europe is
glad to disgorge and which have Impaired the imlltlcnl suggestion of Chi
cago and other American cltlea.
No matter how long It takes to get good immigrants, let ua remember
that we can afford to do without any save good immigrants, and that wc
have plenty of time to examine their Illness to be a part of ti*
