EDITORIAL COMMENT

The condition which made this prize
fight tolerated in Hartford at this time
was the same spirit which carried
through the last Legislature an act
making the highest possible bid in the
way of special privileges, including
absolute immunity from public super
vision, to corporations all over the
world whose organizers will help the
people Of Connecticut pay the expenses
of their State government.
1t was the idea of bringing a few
dollars into Hartford that made this
Thanksgiving innovation possible. The
money amounting to several thous-
and dollars, was brought here by the
sports" of New York, Boston and
other places, and placed in circulation.
This financial fabrication, together
with the moral edification which some
citizens have found in the fact that
the contestants in the ring would
pound each other good and hard, ="
and not try to fool the spectators with
a mere boxing match" which was the
pretended character of the exhibition,
explain why a Thanksgiving Day prize
fight was permitted in Hartford

IN POSITION TO HOLD COTTON

Just at the beginning of the planting
season, when farmers are considering
the acreage to be devoted to cotton, the
following sound advice by the Manu-
facturers Record will not be amiss and
should be given careful consideration
by our planters:
''It is announced that Mr.. James
Nj. Smith of Oglethorpe county, Geol
gia, has sold at Augusta 1900 bales of
his cotton for 100000. On the eve of
the planting season such an announce
ment is likely to give and impetus to
the movement toward enlarging plant
ing, indications of which have been
noted here and there in the south. 1t
is one of the biggest crops of cotton
ever sold by farmer. The men, how
ever, who are preparing to pitch IN
creased crops under the spur of the
gratifying prices brought by cotton
this year must not lose sight of the
fact that Mr.. Smith received this hand
some price because he was able to hold
his cotton for it. He is able to hold it
because he is accustomed to raising
his own supplies, filling his barns
from his own fields and his smoke
house from his own hog pens. Such
farmer is the only one really INDIE
pendent of the market; and the only
one who can afford to venture upon in
creased acreage when cotton has been
running high He can only afford to
do so if he has determined to persist in
his policy of raising necessaries on
the farm. Cotton farmers have during
the past few months come into the
daylight They have had hard strug-
gle, but prices ranging from eight to
ten cents pound have been a great
relief to them Many of them have
gone ahead of expenses for the first
time in many years. Any theory that
will lead to put all their surplus into
enlarged acreage, and perhaps to incur
new debts in the expectation of getting
similar prices for the new crop, is like
ly to set them back again They have
now splendid opportunity to put into
effect the rule of more cotton to the
acre instead of more acres for cotton. :"
