iester's Statement.

New Orleans, May. 2.-Secretary Hes ter's weekly New Orleans cotton ex- change statement, issued before the close of business today, shows a decrease in the movement into sight compared with the seven days ending this date last year in round figures of 31.0o0 bales, an in- crease over the same days year before last of 14,000 and a decrease under the same time in 1899 of 10,0O1.
 For the two days of May the total show an increase over last year of 5000, an increase over the same period year before last of 5000 and an increase over 1899 of 6000
 For PA days of the season that have elapsed the aggregate is ahead of the 244 days of last year 266OOO, ahead of the same days year before last of 1,0SS,0 ,0O0 and behind 1899 by S76,0o0.
 The amount brought into sight during the past week has been S0,234 against 11O- s93 for the seven days ending this date last year, 66037 year before last and 90,- 024 same time in 1899. and for the two days of May it has been 21,O6O against Is, 493 last year, 1s973 year before last and lo,744 same time in 1899.
 The movement since September 1 shows receipts at all United States ports of T. 226.S75, against 6,852 6SS last year. 6960.826 year before last and S,006,349 same time in 1899; overland across the Mississippi Ohio and Potomac rivers to northern mills and Canada 999.S against S92s679 last year. l, ,109, ,522 year before last and 1,201, ,472 same time in 1899; interior stocks in excess of those held at the close of the commercial year 131 176. against 21, 40 last year, a decrease under year before last of 26,746 and an increase over the same time in 1899 of 296, ,446 southern mills takings 1,2Ss,0O0 against 1,122,96O last year, 1,164,S13 year before last and 1,01S013 same time in 1S99
 These make the total movement for the PA days from September 1 to date 9.645.- 96S, against 9379,737 last year. SS68,3 1885 year before last and 10,522 4O3 same time in 1899. Foreign exports for the week have been 82,323 against 136,950 last year. making the total thus far for the season 5,945, ,732 against 5,539, 346 last year, an in- crease of 4061S6. Northern mills takings and Canada during the past seven days show an increase of 3233 as compared with the corresponding period last year, and their total takings since September l have increased 194 456.
 It must be remembered that the weekly, monthly and seasons comparisons in Secretary Hester's reports are made up to corresponding dates last year, the year before and in 1899. Comparisons to close of corresponding weeks are misleading, as totals to close of this week last year would take in PAS days of the season, year before last 246 days and In 1899 247 days, against only PA days this year.

NO STOCK SOLD.
Commission Men and Stock Raisers
 Prepare to Fight Decline in Prices.

Denver, Col. May 2.--Not a single head of cattle was sold in the Denver market yesterday and the commission men al- most without exception will wire their customers in all parts of the West not to ship a single head of cattle. hogs or sheep to the markets in this city. Kansas City. Omaha or Chicago. Commission men in other cities are understood to have taken similar action.
 Many thousands of head are on the way to market and three or four days will pass before the effect of the order is felt, but at the beginning of next week, 1t is thought little or no stock will be offered at the packing centers. Commis- sion men and stock owners say they have taken this radical action because of the decline in prices of stock.

Ny friend, Professor Slaton, rendered
the decision in his usual happy and felici-.
tous manner, adding, as reported, this
doubtful statement: THE speeches We're
OF equal ability. but the Baptist boys had
the best side Of the question"
Probably a majority of persons con-;
slider this statement warranted, but IN;
asmuch as a majority do not deeply conf
slider questions of this nature we may
safely examine the evidence.
The growing power and influence Of the.
Socialists has induced in Germany, and
elsewhere, a considerable degree of con-
cession to the demands of those who wish:
to restore TO the people that which has
been taken from them by war and usur-
patton; these extreme advocates desire.
that all things should be possessed in
common after the manner Of primitive
days.
1t would seem to be the part of wisdom
to adopt 50 much Of their cult as tends to
human advancement, thus enabling us
to reject and overcome so much as tends
to evils
The practical working, so far, Of gov.
eminent control is undoubtedly good.
Whether the pressure is great enough
to warrant like action in our own land IS
an open question, but if not now need
it must become so as we move forward
and access to the land becomes more and
more difficult.
For those OF US who have witnessed the
ease and facility with which railway

These lads win in few years be called
upon to pass upon these questions not
in the debating club but as controlling leg

of our railway commission" which con-
trolls without ownership, is practical
recognition of the right and desirability
of fuller power, on the part of government
in the matter of public utilities.
On the whole, / am convinced that IL the
lads will give careful study to this and
other economic questions. there win be
found room for entertaining the belief
that our present system is inadequate for
present needs. and that there must be
radical change.
Suppose from its inception government
had owned and controlled all railways
and other utilities. and suppose some tai
ented promoter, desiring to advance pri-i
vate. rather than public interests, should
propose to transfer from present sys-
tenn to private or corporate control, how
many of US would consider the question
debatable?
Truth is, we have grown accustomed
to present evils and dread to attempt re-
form lest greater evils come upon us.

and even in conservative Great Britain,
and much of light will come to them and

NATE SALISBURY, SNOWMAN,
DEAD AT LONG BRANCH

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Nate Salisbury,
one of the country's best known showmen.
principal owner of Buffalo Bills Wild
West show and a heavy stakeholder in
the Barnum & Bailey company, died last
night at his home, in Long Branch, n j.,
says the New York Herald. He had been
in failing health for a long time, but did
not retire from the management of his in
terests until about week ago, when ILL
ness made it imperative. Stomach disease
caused his death.
He was very wealthy and had lived in
lavish style in Long Branch for several
years with his wife and four children
He was known as the father of the style
of entertainment known as farce comedy,
and the inventor of as many kinds Of
amusement as any other person in Amer
lea He was a horseman of ability, a w.t.
an actor inancier, a lover of all kinds
of art and a thorough cosmopolitan. with
friends in every English speaking country,
and admirers in every city and village in
the country.
Born in Freeport, ILL.,. in February. 1916,
he obtained his education in the public
schools Of his native town. At the age Of
seventeen he enlisted in an Illinois regi-
ment and saw hard service throughout the
war. He fought in many battles, and
earned the praise of his officers on many
occasions. One time he was pointed out
by his colonel, who said: with a regi-
ment of one thousand men like Salisbury,
l could whip an army of three thousand.
AS an actor he was success; as a bus
mess man he was a greater success. He
toured Europe and other parts of the
world where English is spoken, and Wis
tied every city in America. 1t was while
on the road that he met Buffalo Biz
and closed negotiations with him for the
formation of the company which is now
known as Buffalo Bills Wild West COM
pany His fortune began to grow from
the time this company started.

FINLAND'S SAD PLIGHT
CALLS FORTH SYMPATHY

The average grain crop gathered in Finland
is valued at $sO,0OO,Oo0. The estimated value Of
While The loss is generally distributed
throughout Finland, says the Boston Globe, II
is almost total in the northern third Of the
country Peas and beans generally have failed
and the potato crop has not been gathered;
the hay has rotted or been swept away by
foods.
The disaster is due to the late spring, the
nearly continuous chilly rains and the early
frost. In the north there have been only half
a dozen days when 1t did not rain. The rains
also spoiled the fishing.
So complete was the failure of vegetation
that dead birds by the hundreds have been
found In the forests. The present crop fail
ure is the worst that has been experienced for
the last 80 years.
There are all told about 500 parishes in Fin
land; 1914 Of these parishes are now nearly des
titute. The agricultural board has received
reports from 40 of the 1874 parishes showing
that 1O6 have food supplies which will suffice
them until Christmas only.

their boarded savings. Such bread contains

al of Finland, issued an appeal for help in
Russia. A voluntary reiief committee was or

out the country. The Anglo-American church
here is affiliated with this committee.
The senate has decided to construct public
works at an expenditure Of 1915. 600. and it has
allotted $500 900 for the purchase of grain, which
will be sold to the people at cost. Seventy
five thousand dollars will be used to encourage
cottage industries. The provinces and certain
cities of Finland have voted various sums for
relief work, amounting in an to $500, O00
The voluntary relief committee has received
SIPS, 600, but it is understood that all this sum
has been already expended.
Pastor Kilburn of st. Petersburg has just
returned from sedge journey through Kupuio
province. He found 1900 school children who
were in need of food. OF this number 1, 1856 were
totally destitute
It is estimated that 100000 will be without
food after Christmas. Business in Finland is
suffering: up to November II, go 156 persons had

stables that are light. ventilated, and free
from stored forage crops over the domes-

The Citizen AS a LaWrnaker


nifty of English law has advanced till from
a struggling existence among the con-
quered Saxons of Britain IL now stands
side by side with the imperial law of
Rome.
The great difference between the two
systems is that one was written the other
unwritten; one promulgated in final and
finished form by the ruling power; the
other developed in the minds and memo
ries OF the people step by step, precedent
by precedent. In the one the written rule
is the guide, and the Interpretation of it by
the judges have no binding effect save In
that particular case. In the other there
was no written rule, and the opinions ana
reasons of the judges in interpreting that
rule defining IL, declaring it, modifying
it. were binding not only in the particular
case but in all similar cases thereafter
The French lawyer today examines his
statutes or code or learned text book.
The English lawyer examines the decis-
ions OF his highest court. The American
lawyer is more greatly blessed. He may
indeed must, not only consult the decis-
ions OF some fifty or more other nigh
courts, eacn OF which has it's own ideas
OF the law to establish, or its own indie
pendent dignity to vindicate.
In both systems, the one the produce
of legislative action, the other of custom
and judicial precedent as well as some
legislation the established rule is, in the
last analysis, the outgrowth of the needs
of the people to whom it is applied. This
is particularly true of the English sys-
tenn It is peculiarly a growth from the
wants Of the common peopie-the great
body Of the people.
Under this system, therefore, every citi-
zen is in large and fundamental sense
law-maker
Thousands of men ignore the institution
of law till suddenly they have to appeal
to it. and then they curse its weakness
and the folly of the men who make it.
The most powerful agency in this country
today is public opinion Public opinion
crystalizes into law. In the formation of
that public opinion every man has a re-
sponsibility from which he cannot es-
cape.
Some of the men whose influence has
been most powerful on our laws have
not been educated, but their influence has
existed in spite of and not by reason of
their lack of education. The rule is that
the final form and effect of the law is CIV
en- by the educated or intelligent element
among the people. 1t is the man who
to a strong sense of right, justice and
honesty. adds an enlightened mind. who
leads in the making of public character
and the forming OF the law. The greatest
measure of responsibility, therefore, rests
upon the educated man. All men realize
that the public character of people is
