and on its own initiative.
THE end of the war is not yet in sight.
The defensive campaign is likely to be less
dramatic than the events of the last few
months, but 1t will be protracted and wear
isome even to the cosmopolitan financiers
who are so largely responsible for the
whole tragedy. Events involving prompt
action may easily happen in other quarters
OF the world where the interests of Great
Britain are far more vulnerable and i'm

No More Chinese Litter Bearers.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-General Otis
has rescinded instructions heretofore is
sued from the headquarters of the depart
ment of the Pacific, permitting the en-
ployment of Chinese as litter, or burden
bearers for troops in the field or on the
march. All Chinese still employed in that
capacity will be discharged from the serv-

to be revoked the order allowing
the expenditure of specific
amount of money from the pub

been taken of the said allowance.
The adjutant general received a telegram
to-day from General Otis asking authority
to allow Filipinos TO enlist as members
of the regimental bands in the Philip
pines. The request will be granted a
matter of policy.

of the Philippines which islands he visited
in his absence from home, he said that on

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE War De-

BIGGEST CARGO OF COTTON.

The largest cotton cargo ever taken
out of United States port in a single
vessel, and probably the largest cargo
of cotton ever recorded in the world,
was cleared on the new British steam
ship Mechanician, belonging to the
Harrison Line, on Wednesday. The
cargo consisted of twenty-six thousand
square bales Of cotton and, in addition,
the ship took thirty-two thousand
bushels of wheat in bulk and eight
thousand feet Of walnut lumber The
Mechanician is a new ship, and be-
longs to the class of mammoth carriers
which now set the pace in the carrying
trade of the world. She is five hun
dred feet in length and fifty-seven feet
three inches beam. She has thirty
nine feet five inches depth of hold and
has storage room for thirty thousand
bales of cotton. Wednesday was a red
letter day in the ports history. Eight
steamships were cleared at the custom
house for European ports, having on
board 76,757 square bales of cotton, as
well as 1921 round bales. These ships
also took out other cargo. 1t Is proba-
BILE that the aggregate value of all the
cargo cleared was not far from three
million dollars.--New Orleans Plea

How years ago, upon their ears the same

How, every time two parties came together

A lot Of frightened people said, "the coun-

My grandsire says that he observed the

He's known the time when dire dismay

DON'T 4IN.4LIZE.

Defeated candidates. from Bryan
down, will naturally be somewhat
sore" for awhile, but they will be sorer
than they ought to be if they keep
dwelling on what might have been and
why it wasn't. That was good advice
which an experienced old politician in
this region once gave young politician
who had been defeated, and couldn't get
over it. The young politician went often
to the old one for sympathy and coun-
sci. He bewailed and explained his sad
fate so often and so much that finally
the old one said: Look here, young
man, for Heavens sake stop Analysing
your vote"
Analysing the vote by which one is
defeated isn't very profitable. 1t doesn't
tend to peace of mind or faith in ones
fellow men.

THE TRUSTS,

Walter M. Page has something to
say in the Worlds Work about trusts,
and what he says is worth attention,
even though the campaign is over. He
points out that the truth Is, the aggre-
CATION of capital In large enterprises is
a phase of economic development that
was as inevitable as the gold standard
or the growth Of our exports or the de-
cline in the rate of interest. They have
not been especially fostered by stat
utes Except those great companies
that protective tariff has helped),
and they cannot be greatly hindered by
law. The movement is the inevitable
result of cheap and swift hauling, the
better organization of industry-the
general tightening Of the hoops of the
world. Wretched humbugs have come
in the general movement; individual
hardship has been inflicted; deal of
wild speculation has been done; and
honest men and honest enterprises
have now and then become victims of
a sort of juggernaut. But the intro
duction of all other machinery has
caused similar displacements; for the
so-called trust is nothing but piece of
Industrial machinery. 1t is, in fact,
only a large corporation. 1t must be
regulated 1t must be required to do its
work with publicity; 1t will at last sur
vive only in so far as 1t does a genuine
social service. And the social service
that it now does when properly direct
ed is enormous.
There is solid truth in this. The
