FOREIGN COTTON GROWING

The wiseacres in the northern cities
are alarmed lest prevailing prices for
cotton shall induce other countries
to grow cotton in other lands. There
is nothing in such fears, or rather
next to nothing. Moisture and SUM-
shine are nowhere else SO happily
mingled for the production of cotton,
and these states will grow the chief
commercial crop of the world indef-
nitely.
Out of 16, 200, GOO bales grown last
year this country produced nearly
100000 bales, leaving about 81
900, 900 bales of the commercial crop
which grown in India, Egypt,
China, Japan and Korea, and Central
Asia. We grow fully two-thirds of
the worlds crop, and we will con-
tinue to grow that proportion of it.
The feecy product is spun by 1885,
600, 900 spindles, of which number
At. 600, 600 r possessed by Great
Britain, "a, 200, 900 by Continental
Europe, and %, 200, 900 by the United
States. About one-third of this coun-
try's spindles are located in the cot
ton belt. The vast number of spin
dies in England and in Continental
Europe must have cotton, and the
hunt for a new supply is by no
means of recent origin. It has been
going or a long time, but the search
is not a bit promising. The natives
of West Africa will not work, and
the small amounts of cotton produced
there are below grade. The West
Indies have tried to grow cotton, but
the amount of production is neither
significant nor promising. Possibly
some more cotton will be grown in
Egypt, but the limit of production
seems to have been reached in India.
After making all reasonable allow
ances, it is prudent to assume that
the South will continue to grow two
thirds of the commercial crop of the
world, regardless of high prices OF
home speculation.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
u An Injustice Y to an Immigrant.

/ C
TO the Editor Of The Journal,
Z he Journal of last Saturday con-
tains as news item the report that a
Norwegian woman with her child had
been ordered returned to her former home
on the ground that she was likely to be-
come a. public charge, notwithstanding
that she had a ticket to Granite Falls,
Mimi, where, she had friends and intended
to go to. work. Is such an action in ac-
scordance With the spirit Of the immigra :
ton laws? Does 1t not rather imply dan
gerous threat to the country, especially
the northwest, never intended by the
laws?
1t Is unjust to assume that person,
who has only the means of TRANSFORMATION
to field of labor is likely to become a
public charge. This state has been built
up by just such immigrants, who brought
nothing but sound bodies and Willingness

On reading the item one is reminded OF
the story Senator Knute Nelson told years
ago in a speech in the house of represen-
tatiyes, how he landed In New York, a
little boy, clinging to- the skirt of his
mother, lust such a poor Norwegian
woman. Has the state Of Minnesota, has
the United States been the loser because

pulous commissioner Of immigra ton

races do not. often become public charges

A COMPOSERS SAD DECLINE
Pail Mall Gazette.


All music lovers will be very sorry to
hear that the latest reports about the
health Of Giacomo Puccin, the composer
of La Boheme" and "Tosca," are very
far from reassuring.
1t Is now some months since he was
travelling one evening in his motor car
and was thrown out, his thigh bone being
badly broken. He was at once taken
home, and passed many weeks of suffer-
ing, but was cheerful and hopeful, and
all seemed going well. However. the
weeks passed into months. and they say
the months will pass into years. and he
still walks with crutches as the bone will
not knit.
Puccini was noted among italians for
his love of sport, especially shooting.
When his fingers were not on the key
board OF the piano they held gun, the
tramping and physical fatigue being not
the least of the enjoyment. That this
man, almost a giant in stature and
strength, should become a chronic 5inva-
lid must distress not only his nearest and
dearest, but also those who know him
only thru his music. Puccini shows the
marks OF his suffering, physical and men,
tai. He is gaunt and pale, with an ex-
preston which causes the eyes OF those
who know him to fill with tears, since as
the Italians say, his, life is finished

Street Cars at the Expo.

Now that the auditorium problem is
solved, at least for the present, the prob
lem of getting full houses for the same
looms up. No one will deny that the mass
of the patrons go to and from these con-
certs in the street cars, but if these same
cars are block or so away from the
hall the people will stay away If the even
ing be cold .or wet. But if the cars run
directly to the door then the people are
not afraid<to venture out. The exposition
hall, which will be the new International,
has the name of being bad location
chiefly I believe on account of the cars
being SO. far from the doors of the hall.
Get the street railway company to run a
loop or double loop directly to the doors
of this big building SO that we can step
out of the warm hall into a warm street
car and there will be no trouble in filling
the house, whether it be grand opera OF
the Philharmonic club that is to be en-
joyed; otherwise I am afraid there will
be some concerts to empty seats.

the public lands in the arid and semiarid
states. But the destruction OF the forests
without regard to agriculture makes more
difficult the work OF Irrigation, and the
monopolization Of the plains restricts the
national benefits of irrigation. A better
law than the stone and timber act would
greatly swell the income from timber lands
while preserving their value and future
usefulness. Besides the Irrigation fund
has already reached very respectable
figure. Possibly 1t is as large sum as

The Beggar a. Specialist.

to leave his treatment to special lists.

there are cases of charity or helpfulness
that can best be attended to by the Gift
zen without consulting anybody else.
There are cases which the individual APP
pealed to can handle better than any pro-
fessional philanthropist. But the peculiar
circurn stances make the citizen in such
instances a: specialist for the time being;
perhaps he knows more. about the petition

charity agent could learn in a week of
careful investigation, - q. r ~
But the citizen is apt to go wrong about
nine times out Of ten If he. acts on his gen

cases is credttable to the heart, but not

Defending the Land Acts.

1t was expected that there would be a
sharp fight in the irrigation congress be-
tween the opponents Of the stone-and-
timber and desert land acts and the COM
mutation clause of the homestead act,
and the representatives Of the interests
that have profted and are profiting by
them.
Congressman Mondel Of Wyoming
spoke yesterday as the champion OF
those who favor continued despoliation
of the plains and the forests. Mr.. Mon
dell's assertion that more land has been
reclaimed from the desert under the desert
land law than under all other laws is
probably correct, for it has been the spe-
cial means by which large corporations,
monopolizing irrigation opportunities, have
come into possession Of public land. The
assertion is as much Of an argument for
the act as it would for the stone tim
Der act to say that it has been RESPONSE
BILE for more forest destruction than any
other law. Possibly there was abundant
| justification for the desert land act In
earlier days, when there was little de-
| mand for irrigable lands and whole states
and territories Of humid land still waited
for the settler to come. Undoubtedly #
large tracts of land could not have been
secured capital would not have built ir-
rigation works. But that time is past.

land and not rent it or sell it to some per-
son not so fortunate as himself is press

Thus there is no longer need to encour-

A cRETAN MUSEUM

DR.. Arthur Evans has ceased, for the
time, his great labors in Crete, whereby
he is entirely reconstructing what is, to
US westerns, the most important epoch
In history. The question has been asked,
where are his treasures to be stored? and
many who saw his exhibition at Burlng-
ton house last winter have hoped that
some of them might find their way, con-
sidering Dr. Evans nationality, to the
British museum It is now reported from
Munich. however. that the foundation
stone of Cretan museum has been laid
in Gambia, wherein there will be stored
all the priceless antiquities which have
already rewarded DR.. Evans for his spade
work in Knossos. Remembering the shame
Of the Elgin marbles, we can only say
that this is well. Crete, to which we
owe debt that is as yet inestimable, is
surely entitled to the possession of those
great beginnings Of fine art and those
significant clay tablets with which she in
itiated European history $500, years ago.

The Presidents Good Deed.

In spite of raging storm the presi-
migration station. The good he did there
by was we'll worth the hardships of the
trip.
The tender feelings of people everywhere
will be touched by the account of how the
presidents visit turned despair into JOY
for poor family of immigrants from
Russia. The father with one child had
eluded the vigilance of the authorities and
had successfully set foot on the loved soil
of the republic. A son had preceded the
family by some years and was successfully
making his way in New York. But the
mother and three children had been re-
fused permission to land. Here was a
heart-rending drama.
These poor people had probably toiled
for years with but one bright hope in life
Ito move to America. And then, right at
the portals of the promised land, within
the very sight Of the longed-for goal, the
family found itself threatened with dis
persion--the mother and three children ia
go back to the miserable, hopeless Russian
III lie, gloomy career IIlduS uaTkeT SILL
by family separation. The American son
had resorted to habeas corpus proceed
ings to secure the release of his mother
and brothers and sisters, but without
avail. All hope fed.
At this moment, the dramatic moment
President Roosevelt appeared upon the
scene, and the distracted mother hyster-
ically appealed to him. The president was
deeply affected, Immediately reviewed the
case found no good cause for the further
detention of the poor woman and hen
children and secured their release. I'm
lgine. If you can, the overwhelming Joy
brought to the humble family by that sim
pie act Of the president.
Not only did the presidential visit dc
good in this case, but it will tend to cause
