CONDITION or THE Coyrrox c,pop

Inc Bureau report of the condition
of the cotton crop which was made
public yesterday was of a character
to make spinners think it advisable
to get what cotton they could at pres-
ent prices The report showed the
condition of the crop to be SAT as
against 951 for the month of Nav
This drop of more than 10 points is
somewhat alarming. but the fact that
the report was based upon informa
ton gathered before the effect of the
recent rains became apparent must be
taken into consideration.
The cotton of pretty nearly the en-
tire cotton section was injured by the
dry weather and high temperatures
which prevailed throughout the month
OF June. One close observer takes the
position that the crop made scarcely
any Roadway during that month. and
that If fairly good crop is to be
made there will have TO be in sixty
days a growth and fruitage for which
ninety days are usually required.
For the balance of the season fire.

perature are needed. Heavy down.
pours would have tendency to in
Jure the plant. 1t is too much to ex-
pect of course that the temperature
and the moisture will be Just right
throughout the balance of the season
in all parts of the cotton section. Ow-
ing to the setback it received in June
it is hardly to be expected that the
crop will be what is called a big one.
even if the season should be late-that
is, if there should be no frost until
very late.
There has been complaint of damage
from lice and other insects, but in the
opinion of some of those who are quail
fled to speak on such matters the dam
age from these causes has not amount
ed to much as yet. Notwithstanding
the fact that the crop is late timely
showers and favorable temperature
will bring the crop out and insure a
yield Of which cotton growers will have
no reason to complain.

On an elevated train to-day, says
the New York correspondent Of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. a small boy
stood before a huge pile of newspapers
that occupied one of the seats. he
was sorting them and dropping a
package upon each station as 1t was
reached for the newsstand located
there The car was crowded and seats
at a premium.
A fussy old man watched the boy
for a time. Then he touched him on
the shoulder and said in a loud and
arrogant manner: See here, my son,
what right have you to keep those
papers on that seat when passengers
are compelled to stand up?"
The boy looked up and politely SAID:
DO you object to my having the pa
pers on the seat?'
Il certainly do" said the man. I
have paid my fare and have right
to sit down"
The boy carefully removed his pile
of papers from the seat to the floor
a small bundle at a time. The pro-
testing passenger stood in an expect
ant attitude, the spectators looked on
with absorbed attention.
When the seat was empty the boy
turned about and sat down. Looking
up at the man he said quietly; Il
paid my fare, too, and l guess this
seat belongs to me"

Now how can we make him see what

to warn you never to do what he has

The peaceful slumbers of Justice of

rudely disturbed a few nights ago by

The highest court in New York, the
Court of Appeals, has decided that a
person hasn't such a right in his fea-
lures that he can prevent the publ
cation of his picture in a respectable
paper or periodical or the use of his
picture as an advertisement. The case
in question is known as the Right of
Privacy" case. 1t was brought by Abb
gail NJ. Robinson, a beautiful girl of
Rochester, N. Y, against two compa-
MES who used her picture on two
brands of -four as an advertisement.
She claimed damages to the amount of
$4,000
1t would seem as if there ought to be
some way to prevent the use of a per-
sons picture for advertising purposes.
If Miss Roberson's picture is so beauti-
full that it is valuable as an advertise
ment she ought to be paid for it, and
should have the right to fix the price.
That would of course mean that if she
refused to sell her picture it could not
be used for advertising or For any other
purpose.
The court seems to have gone into
Miss Roberson's case very thoroughly.
The chances are that the decision would
have been in her favor if it would have
affected her alone but a moments con-
sideration will show that a principle
would have been established that
would have applied to newspapers and
periodicals which make a practice of
publishing pictures of persons. Per-
mission to publish picture of a person
would have to be obtained, in order to
avoid claim for damages, if the prin-
ciple contended for in the case of Miss
Robertson had been admitted.
In the course of its decision the court
said:
while most persons would much pre-
fer to have a good likeness of them
selves appear in a responsible periodical
or leading newspaper rather than upon
an advertising card or sheet, the doc
trine which the courts are asked to
create for this case would apply as well
to the one publication as to the other,
for the principle which a court of equi-
ty is asked to assert in support of a
recovery in this action is that the
able in equity. and that the publica-
ton of that which purports to be a
portrait of another person, even if OBJ
tanned upon the street by an imperti-
nent individual with a camera, will
be restrained in equity on the ground
that an individual has the right to pre-
vent his features from becoming known
to those outside of his circle of friends
and acquaintance.
The court came to the conclusion that
the so-called right of privacy had not
as yet found an abiding place in the
Jurisprudence of New York, and it is
safe to say it has not in any other
state. AS rule the pressure to get
pictures of men and women in the
newspapers and magazines is much
greater than it is to keep them out

Rhodes Not n womnn Halter

The late Cecil Rhodes is said to have
been a woman hater, charge which
is hardly borne out by one of the cur
rent anecdotes about him, says Les
Ee's Weekly. One day, it is said, when
he was showing some visitors the
splendid grounds of Groot Schuur, the
party approached a summer house
which had been erected early in the
last century by one of the Dutch Gov
ernors of the colony. Hush" said Mr..
Rhodes in a whisper, "hush,' and mo-
tioning his companions back he ad-
vanced on tiptoe, listened and then
called out, 'All right, you can come
on. The coast is clear" He explained
that he had discovered this summer
house to be a favorite resort of loving
couples, and that he always shrank
from disturbing them. 81 like" he said,
ito think that they can escape from
the ugly, noisy back streets of Cape
town and find here a fitting spot for
the telling of the old, old story"

STATEMENTS FROM HANNA AND
JONES

Senator Jones. chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee and Sena-
tor Hanna, chairman of the RepubH-
can National Committee, do not know
much more about the effect the Iegis-
lation Of the recent session of Con-
gress will have upon the Congressional
elections than the average congress-
man, but being the chairmen of the
rational committees of their respec-
tive parties. and having opinions on
the foregoing subject they have put
them in print over their signatures.
Senator Jones is certain that the
work of the recent session has not met
the expectations of the country. A def
mite policy respecting the Philippines
was expected. The bill that was passed
leaves the purpose of the government
respecting the islands in doubt When
Congress assembled there was a pro
nounced feeling in favor of reduction
of tariff taxation. A number of Re
publican congressman appeared in
Washington from the West, saying
that their constituents demanded a re-
protection TO trusts. Nothing was done
towards reducing the tariff. Then
there was an implied promise to Cuba
"a promise of a reduction of the tariff
on her products. That promise was not
kept And the trust question was pass
ed over without any action Taking
into consideration all of these omis-
sicns Senator Jones is of the opinion
that I'VE have opportunities to make
gains in the West during the coming
election, and we may have some sur
prises in other sections"
Senator Hanna does not go into par
ticulars. He says that Congress, at the
recent session, settled some of the
greatest legislative questions which
have arisen since The foundation of the
government, and that the Republican
majority demonstrated it's ability to
meet them ALL In his opinion the re-
suits will rebound to the best inter-
ests of the country. He says that the
Democrats attempted to manufacture
campaign material out of the Philip
generated into an attack on the Amer
lean army. They failed, therefore, to
make popular issue and are now
floundering around without an issue.
The Republicans, he says, reduced
taxes and permitted nothing to be done
that would have a tendency to shake
the confidence of the country. The
opinion of Senator Hanna is that
everything the Republicans did during
the recent session added strength to
that confidence and ENSURES for us
safe and sure election of the next
House of Representatives."
The foregoing views are stereotyped
views, and will have no effect what
ever on the political situation, so far
as it concerns the Congressional cleo
lions. Each chairman said Just what
he was expected to say, and doubtless
each believes what he said, but II
is doubtful if either said all he might
have said without doing violence TO
his conscience.
There is no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis have the best showing for sue
cess in the Congressional elections. 1t
Is fact that the Republicans were ex
travagant beyond precedent in the re-
cent session and they could not
be driven into touching the tariff for
fear that the trusts would be injured.
