The sending of cotton from the south

The sending of cotton from the south
to San Francisco for reshipment thence
to China and Japan is one of the anom-
allies of commerce. Cotton for the ORR
ent has hitherto been shipped entirely
from New Orleans and Mobile. but the
demand has increased so enormously
in the last year that those ports alone
can no longer supply it. and it has been
found necessary to send vast quantities
overland by rail to San Francisco. II
our cotton can pay this heavy freight
age and still compete profitably in
China and Japan with the product of
India and Egypt, it is plain that a new
and enormously valuable market Is un-
folding in the east for the American

Sweet minstrels of the field ard grove

Are moved to song by magic touch
OF strange, mysterious thing.
The mellow whistle OF the quail,
The iark's clear note OF love.
The medley Of the mocking-bird,
The coo CT mourning-dove.
Are cadences OF melody
Which Nature sets 10 note,
And when the proper key is struck
Sweet strains Of music float
Within the human heart q chord
All hushei and silent iingers
Until attuned by baby kiss
And swept by baby fingers.
Then music floods the joyous heart
As freshet does the stream.
When on the melting drift OF snow
The sun directs his beam
And not Apolio's silver harp
With golden hairs all strung,
In olive groves OF ancient Greece
To sweeter strains were rung-
Nor yet the famed Orphssn Tyre.
That moved the trees and stones,
Was ever touched 10 harmony

STRIKE AND SPARE NOT.

The war upon the speak-easies cannot
be prosecuted too vigorously. 1t should
not be conducted spasmodiea lly or period
ically, but increasingly and unrelentingly
until the unlawful Iiquor-sellers find it
more profitable to go out of the business
than to stay in it. To break these places
up is duty which the authorities owe to
the community in general, and the licensed
sellers of liquors specially. Not TO ma ke
strenuous exertioDs TO suppress the Illegal
traffic is an Injustice to the men who pay
large fees for permission to carry on their
business, and whose income is materially
diminished By the existence OF the speak
easies. The raids upon these places are
not among the most pleasant duties Ut the
police. for the officers frequently encounter
such desperate resistance as fell to the
share OF Sergt. Daley the other day when
that diligent crusader against speak-easies
made descent upon one of them.
There are moral reasons, more powerful
than all others, why speak-easies should
be broken up, and why tie police should
be unremitttng in their efforts to doso. The
fact that their mere existence is in viola
ton of the law would be ground enough
for action, but far stronger Incentive
than this is the circumstance that they are
the favorite haunts OF the very dregs Of
the population, the most rrequeuted resorts

definite can be given out by Messrs. Rounse-

there will be DO mills in the regular line

Although many mills are still outside

The people generally can do much TO
aid the police. Speak-easies are not such
desirable acquisitions to neighborbood
that the residents care to keep them there
any longer than is absolutely necessary
Wherever such places exist information
should be conveyed to the police, SO that
an investigation may be set on foot, and,
IL the facts warrant it, a raid instituted.
Special instructions should be given to the
police OF every precinct to make the
alleys and courts their special objects
OF scrutiny, for it is there the speak
easies flourish like noxious weeds In
dark places. After the beginning of the
new fiscal year, when the police force
will be increased by q half hundred men,
such activity should be displayed against
