THE MAYOR'S FvNNy ADDRESS.

| Chicago, Sept. ~, 1908.
To the Editor: Mayor Harrison. In III,
Auditorium address, says party dis
cipllne ought to be like army disclp
line;" that obedience IL the first duty
Of the soldier" In other words. when
the machine puts up ticket there mus,
he no kickers. Suppose there are men
on the ticket who voted for the Allen
bill. will Mr.. Harrison vote for those
men! II he does, then his opposition
to that law looks suspicious. II he
votes against them he IL himself u kick.
or ana should be disciplined. What
says ex.GOv. Altgeld. III there IL u
man upon the Democratic ticket that
you believe to he n bOOdler. then vote
against that man." But, the ex.GOver.
nor IL u statesman. an honorable man
not con man. The Ex-Governor knows
well that bOOdlers ana spOilsmen are
not Democrats: they are simply u dan
gerOus class Of con men. who are wag-
Ing war on civil service In the dark. but
are afraid to attack 1t openly ut their
meetings. We expected Mayor Har-
rlsOn would tell us about the evils OF
civil service as well as the benefits ana
advantages Of the spells system. hut he
didn't. suppose he was ashamed or
afraid, or perhaps the subject was too
heavy to handle.
What Is the spells system but doodle
ana bribery! Mr.. Burke offers 5000
county jObs--gOod salaries nttached-ln
exchange for votes. Another worker
makes 1t better by $4,000 city jobs II
the party Is successful. How much
worse Is It to bribe the Council. 0r the
State Legislature, than 1t Is to brbe
the voting community? Why does
Mayor Harrison approve of that sys-
TEN of bribery ana corruption which he
knows all about. ana yet continually
keeps lighting the Allen law? Is 1t for
the benefit of the people? No; 1t Is to
make votes.
Mayor HarrisOn's Democrats made n
mistake In denOuncing civil service.
Now they are sorry they did It,. Seeing
the uprOnr everywhere In opposition to
the spells system, what that system
has done for our army should damn II
forever. Every advocate Of that sys-
TEN should he considered u public en-
envy. 1t poisoned the food ana pol
luted the water that brought suffer

beauties Of the system Mr.. Harrison
would give us in exchange for the mer-
it system. Yours, etc.

wool FROM PINE TREES.
a Novel Industry to BE Attompt.I Out Il,
Oregon.

Most mon would as soon think
or gathering figs off thistles as
wool off pine trees, yet that is
just what the promoters of a
new Oregon industry propc 20 to do,
says the San Francisco e ;aminer.
d. A. Cords is establishing a plant
at Grants Pass for the man fracture
of pine needles into a fal.ric very
like woolen cloth. There is nothing
new in this industry. 1t has boon
carried on in Europe for y ars, but
never before has it occU rred :,
anyone that in the forests of Ore.
gon is better material and moro of it
for the manufacture of pine wool
than any place else in the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cords are onthusi.
sasts, but are practical minded withal,
and do not propose to start in on too
large scale. They intend first to
make material of the consistency of
excelsior for mattresses; after that
thoy will manufacture the wool which
il used for under clothing, bandages
and other purposes where soft and
pliable fabric is required. Only the
irner fabric of the needles can be
used for the latter, and the process
is OFFENSIVE, but not more so than
that Of the manufacture of lambs
wool.
Mrs. Cords is familiar with the
process of manufacturing fabrics
from pine needles in Germany and
France, and in visit to Oregon
something more than year ago it
occurred to her that the pine trees
here wore better suited to the pur-
pose of manufacture than those of
the continent A little investigation
convinced her that it would be worth
while to try the experiment, and
with the assistance of her husband
she started a small factory at Grants
Pass. Machinery of the proper kind
was not to be had, and it was neces-
sary to send to Europe for it.

success, will place under control Of
the British Il vast area of land for
cultivation. Tho fact that nearly
every aero of this luud is capable of
producing cotton Of Il grado nll but
rs llnc as that grown on our sra is
'audS, IL sure to mako serious uddi
ton to the problems with which tho
cotton growers have to contend.
Tho whole secret Of Eng Sland's con
troll OF Egypt and her conquest Of
tho Soudan is hor desire to srcuro q
domain on which cotton can too pro.
duccd. Since tho !ntr war brtwcrp
the States during which tho English
mil owners suffered such heavy
LOSSES as the result Of their INABILITY
to procure cotton from the Southern
States, tho government oF Grcnt
Britain has been trying TO secure
territory which will produce cotton
equal or superior to that grown in
the South.
~ very large expenditure was madc
in India for that purpose, but it wux
found that tho quality would not
compare with that grown in .h,s
country. Experiments havc also
been made in Australia, but they
had to bo givrn up. Finally it wns
discovered that if Great Britain
would bo independent Of tho United
States, so far rs her cotton supply
is concerned, she must secure control
OF Egypt.
Those OF our readers who are i1ut
familiar with the various steps bv
which this control was secured are ut
any rate familiar with tho fact that
1t has boon secured. Within tho
course Of another year tho NTuhd,
will have been driven from the Sou

to invest in tho cotton industry ia
that largo nron, which comprises
sevon hundred thousand square
miles Of territory. On this land cot
ton can be produced which is about
equal in grade to that grown on our
soa islands, and it can be produced
at aprico which tho Southern plant,
ers cannot compete
Tho labor supply is practically un.
limited. The Egyptian fcllnhin nro
paid wages ranging from 8 to H.
cents day, and they arc very indus.
trlous workers. 1t seems, therefore,
that it is only question Of time
when by growing cotton in this terri
tory England will ho ablo not only
II produce her own supplies, but per-
haps sell to the manufacturers Of
this country ut less price than our
own planters can afford to grow cct-
ton.
meanwhile, the great question
here is not the promotion OF the in
