The rcgistrat ton under the new Consts-

the boards of registrars adjourned after
sitting fifteen days, dividing their time
between the different precincts of their
respective wards.

Disappointing The number has been re-

larger part of this difference is in the
colored vote. Only 760 succeeded In quail

had their names entered on the registra-
ton books while under the registration
held in 1898, during the Bryan campaign,
6.427 colored citizens registered and voted
in the November election following.
This remarkable falling off of 1861 negro
voters will be a revelation. Each regis
trar was chosen after careful considera-
tion and all were tried men, who were
honorable. and gave the negro every
chance allowed by the law. which was
stretched at times to let them through.
and yet only 76O measured up to the
standard required. The figures are start
ling-76O against 6,427-but they speak for
themselves.
The white men did not show up as well
as was expected. Several thousand
names are dropped from the old regis
tration books. Much of this decrease can
be accounted for on. the score Of change
of residence. Many men did not take

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Appeal from President.

At the meeting Friday, the line of ap-
proach toward settlement of the strike
will be an appeal by President Roosevelt
to both sides to come together as men,
and not to allow false pride or feeling
of obstinacy to stand in the way of ter
mination of the great strike, which is
fraught with such threat of misery to
thousands of people. It is stated by one
Of the Presidents advisers that beyond
this the President cannot co. He has no
power of compulsion to bring into play
against either side. and he must rely upon
his persuasive ability and his appeals to
their sense of humanity. if anything tangi-
BILE is to be achieved.
The President intends to lay before his
hearers the situation as it appears to
him, with all the prospective horrors that
will follow a fuel famine, and will urge
them, in the interest of. humanity, to
open the mines and supply the demand for
coal. The President has taken this action
because he feels it to be his duty to do
so as the Executive head of a nation
threatened with great peril. The Presi-
dent has, in a sense, taken upon himself
the burdens of an arbitrator in this great
dispute between capital and labor. and
though the arbitration is not compulsory,
and is not even known under the name
of arbitration in any of the invitations

C0TTONN MANUFACTURERS.
"Wor1d's Supply and Consumption'
Of the Staple-Other Papers.


Of the Staple-Other Papers.
NEW YORK. October 1-To-day's ses-
sion of the convention Of the New Eng
land Cotton Manufa acturers Association
was devoted to the reading of papers on
technical subjects. A paper of general
interest was that on "The Worlds Supply
and Consumption of Cotton" by 8. D. N.
North, superintendent Department of
Manufactures, Census Department, Bos-
ton. Among other things, Mr.. North
said:
.:If the South shall continue it's pres
ent proportion of the supply, it will be
growing fifteen million bales of cotton in
1925, the greater part of which will come
from the fresher lands west of the Mis-
sissippi river. where cotton can be grown
from l 1-2 to cents a pound cheaper
than in the States of the Atlantic belt
The conclusion is warranted, therefore,
that the future of the cotton trade is se-
curely within the hands of the Ameri-
can producers, if they choose to have
it So Equally clear is it that in order
to retain the control of a crop which has
been worth four billion dollars to the
South since 1878, there must continue to
be a gradual increase, and not curtail-
ment sof the southern acreage.
