First Bale of Cotton.

Last year the first bale of cotton was received on the first day of July; this year it was brought in on the 18th day of that month Nor is this all It came this year from county pn the Mexican border, farther south than the county that furnished last years first bale. This first bale thus makes good the statement that the crop is three weeks late
 So 1t is, but if August should prove to be as favorable to the growth of the plant as July has been, the late ness of the start will count for but little July and August are still the scotton-maEing months, and they can make amends for May and June, and thus far they are proceeding to do it.
 The lateness of the growing crop and the statistical position are bull arguments, but tho July weather has not been on that side. The critical month Is, however, August, and it will this year, as in most other years, de- termine the size of the crop.

Government by Injunction.

When you find judge or any other man who is not ever ready to exalt and extend his office, you will be able to catch a weasel asleep. Judge Brewer of the United States Supreme court is no exception to the rule. He defends government by injunction. He wants more of it, rather than less.
 But the judge condemns congress because it gave judicial powers to administrative officers, and he wants a board of pardons so that so much power will not be vested in one exec utive officer He wants, it will be ob- served, less power everywhere except in the cases of judges. and these, he thinks. should have more powers. He may be inconsistent and illogical, but he is very full of human nature. His doctrine is sumed up in these words: rAs the population becomes mere dense and as the interests grow and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-22

crowd each other. the restraining pow CT of a court of equity is of far greater importance than the punishing of a court of criminal law" He believes in the doctrine, "To him that hath more shall be given"
 It will be observed too, that he has swept away the old-fashioned idea of equity-the plan of the founders, namely, the use of equity only when a remedy at law should be lacking. But Judge Brewer entertains no such notion of the uses of equity at all. He wants more equity and less law-more government by injunction and less by legal and ordinary process. Judge Brewer seems to think society would gain if all power were concentrated in the judges-power over facts as well as law with the right, of course, to deal out restraints and punish ments ad libitum.
 His disease is very natural, but when his desire is gratihed, not only will the republic of the fathers dis appear, but freedom will shriek worse than it did when Kosciusko fell.

PUT ON THE BRAKES.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
 Judge Stafford at Salem yesterday ap- piled a most sautary check to the growth of the notion that laws regulating the speed of automobiles on the public high ways are made only to be disregarded To be sure, the fines which he imposed were not so heavy as to embarrass the wealthy persons who had violated the law or to stand as exemplary penalties; but it was a warning. We think, also, that the sentiment of the summer residents along the north shore will fully sustain this judicial vindication of the supremacy of the law above individual fancy.
 It is observed that one of the offenders, who went to the trouble and the con- siderable expense of bringing the Hon. Nathen Matthews on from Boston as counsel to defend him, has appealed to the higher court from the decision of Judge Stafford. We advise him not to prosecute his appeal. Let the matter drop. The law was made to stop scorch- ing. and 1t will be stopped. If the Police court fine does not stop it. there are fur ther resources.
 The best thing for strenuous automobil- ists to do is to put on the brakes. Be satisfied with such use of the public highways as other people enjoy. The laws in Massachusetts mean something, and they will be enforced.

NEW YoRNs FREE BATH HOUSES
Over a Million Dollars Will be Expend ed to Develop Public Bath System.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Borough President Jacob A. Cantor at a cost of one million dollars is preparing eight new public baths. Two were to be opened within the next month. The Riv- ington street bath has been the only one open winter and summer.
 Working with a committee on public Improving the Condition of the Poor, MT. Cantor has made start toward proyid- ing every crowded section with free bath Ing facilities, In a preliminary report this committee said:
 ''The city should proceed at once to de- velop It's public bath system by building baths that will be open the entire year, it being inadvisable to increase the num- Der of floating baths on account of the pollution of river water by sewerage" l." The committee suggests that the city build each year three bath houses.
 The new baths are to be placed as fol- lows: On East Seventeenth street, Tenth street near Tompkins square. East Six ty-seventh street. East Twenty-third street and Spring street. But for the East One Hundred and Ninth street, and one at No. 349 West One Hundred and Forty-first street, would now be open. Another is to stand at 133 Allen street.
 Most of these baths will accommodate 103 bathers at a time The Rivington street bath has a capacity of only seven ty-seven. Each day thousands of appli- cants crowd about 1t.

WOMEN GAMBLERS WIN s12,ooo.

Houston, Tex, Telegram to the New
 York Sun.
 The largest gambling place in Houston was put out of business temporarily by two women yesterday morning. They ap- peared at the gambling house at 10 o'clock The place was crowded and they made stir. They began operations at the crap tables, playing with success. They then staked gold pieces, of which they seemed to have an unlimited quanti- ty, on roulette. quitting the game about $400 to the good.
 They ended up at faro, playing the limit After an hours play they had won all the money in sight, breaking the bank and causing the proprietor to close down for the night. The won in excess of s12,- GOO at faro. After putting the bank out of business the women left the place and were driven to the Grand Central Sta tion, where they boarded train west bound. At the hotel where they stopped they registered at Lavinia Jayne. Chi- cago. and Louise Dulcet. San Francisco but the names are believed to be fictitious

MANS BEST FRIEND.

By Will Carlton, in Everywhere. He was strong and trim and good-
 sized cur.
 giant of dogs. with soft silk fur, Poised head of an intellectual size And two straight, luminous hero-eyes. tall whose gestures were eloquence; bark with germ of common sense. And this dog looked, upon the whole. As If he had gathered some crumbs of
 soul
 That fell from the feast God spread for
 map-
 Looked like line of the human plan. There went with his strong, well-balanced
 stride
 dignity oft to man denied. Gods humblest brutes, where CT we turn, Are full of lessons for man to learn That night that he crouched In the yield
 ing door,
 Ind two grim murderous thieves. or Had bribed the locks with their hooks of
 steel,
 He fought with more than henchmans zeai:
 For sleeping loved ones treasures and
 life
 He conquered rogue and bullet and knife. He saw distress with a quick. sure eye And heard the half-choked drowning cry; A living lifeboat, soon he bore A half-drowned man to the welcome shore.
 And when the wife of the rescued one Wept him her love for the great deed
 done, And fondled him a warm embrace. . He talked with his fondest. kind old face. And said: 'I have shown you nothing new; It is what we live for and love to do. On lake or river or sea or bay, My race are rescuers every day. In the snowy gulfs mid hills above My race brings life to the race we love" The soul of the humble brute has ned; The grand old dog lies still and dead. Oh, mankind brain and godhke heartl You were made to carry noble part. You did, old dog. the best you knew, And that is better than most men do; | And if ever get to the great. just place IT shall look for your honest. kind old
 face.

Elevator Boys.

"The elevator service in the Woodward building Is first class" remarked we'll known citizen, "but some persons think it would be improved if the elevator boys would familiarize themselves with all the occupants of the building, so as to tell elevator passengers at which floor to get off. Persons who entertain that idea would change their mind if they only stopped to think. The boys who operate the elevators have instructions not to act as directories of the building. A directory Is placed In a conspicuous place or the ground floor. and 1t is the business of strangers to the building to inform them selves as to the floor on whicl the per son they wish to see is located. If the elevator boys were required to tell them too much of the formers time would be taken up. The elevator would be delayed and that would be unfair to the other pas sengers."

HIS NEW ORDERLY.
Admiral Rogers and a Replica of Gen.
 iaI Handy Andy.

From the New York Mail and Express
 Admiral Rodgers lately returned from China to the command of the Brooklyn navy yard He always makes 1t point to select his aides and orderiies from among the officers and men who appear well set" and well groomed.
 One day on the China station while he was inspecting his flagship, the cruiser Brooklyn. his eye fell upon a well-buiit young man who wore the uniform of a marine. He was we'll set. and his uni forms was the acme of cleanliness. At once the admiral concluded he had found just the man he wanted to act as his or- derly and before the day had passed the marine was assigned to that task
 But 1t turned out that the admiral had selected a raw recruit, true son of Erin, who knew nothing of the sea or ships. Pretty soon the admiral summon ed him and asked:
 Has the mail come on boardY'
 "Mail?" echoed the orderly, looking thoughtful. q dunno. I'll see, sor."
 Fifteen minutes later he placed a large dish of steaming oatmeal before the ad- miral saluting, he explained Iris all the male l could find on board, sor, and the cook didn't want to give 1t to me-
 The admiral was so surprised he did not know what to say. Finally he told the orderly to take 1t away.
 Bring my letters letters! Do you rn- derstand7t he repeated.
 'Ehme. sor, I do." said the orderly, rubbing his head in a wandering way. In half an hour he returned with one of the small Jacobs ladders and placed 1t on the table before the admiral.
 Iris the only ladder I could find, sor." he said
 The admiral could stand it no longer and called the executive officer. Then he learned that his mail had been given to the orderly more than an hour before. So the orderly was summoned once more and asked what he had done with the bundle of papers Immediately he went to one of the small gun racks and got the package. When asked what he in- tended to do with 1t he explained, When I had time I was going to open them, and what I did not want for my own reading I was going to give to the other fellows"
 And now the admiral has mentally framed this maxim: When you are looking for an orderly. don't always pick the best looking man until you have had a chance to talk with him.

NEW FIELD FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Erom Harper's Weekly.

From Harper 5 NNeShlS.
 A considerable number of young women, according to rural observer, are engag- ing in the poultry business. and seem, from all accounts, to be making a sue cess of it. A correspondent tells of being in Chicago dry goods store on a Satur- day afternoon, not long ago, when she saw one of the salesgirls receive her wages for the week. She was paid S2, having been in her place in the evening every day; 1t was necessary for her to be well and more or less expensively dress ed. to be constantly on her feet, and to keep her temper and her self-possession. frequently under trying circumstances. On the other hand, says our observer, take the case of the farmer girl. None makes less than $2 per week and many make s5. They work only two or three hours a day; their surroundings are conducive to good health and cheerfulness, and they can dress as they feel Inclined. The writer mentions the case of two young girls who sold last year an average of s5 worth of eggs every week during the spring and summer. Nor did they sell all they might have disposed of, for they raised over 400 young chickens besides.

TlLDEN SLOGAN FOR DEMOCRATS

Plttsburg Telegram to the Chicago Tri-
 bune.
 The old slogan of the democrats in tho Tilden campaign Turn the rascals out" probably will be the war cry of the demo- crats in the next national campaign. It was sprung today by former Gov. Rob- ert E. Pattison of Philadelphia in speech which he made before the conven- tion of the Allegheny county democratic committee.
 The former governor declared that there was no reason for the democrats to be discouraged. Taking up the post office investigation, he said How are the rascas to be turned out by the post office department if not by the demo- crats?
 That department of the government Is disgraced by the thieving and rascality. The administration has not yet made a particle of impression on the machine domination in the republican party and never will. It is up to the democrats to turn the rascals out of office"

BoreIIi's Comet.

Up near the north star between it and the Milky Way, immediately be low it, may be seen by the naked eye each night Borelli's comet, which has a tail three million miles long It can be seen between the North star and Vega, but it's tail is not yet visible. Each night until August 27 it will become brighter, and no doubt the tail of the comet will soon be wis. ible to the naked eye. It is seen to the best advantage at 9 o'clock in the evening.
 The comet was first seen by Bo- relli in Marseilles about a month ago. It was then apparent only to we'll equipped astronomers, and in three weeks it has increased in brightness seventeen times. Professor Campbell of the Lick Observatory predicts that the new comet will be one of the most brilliant of recent years.
 It is eight years since we have in- dulged in a comet as spectacular sky attraction, and the present one Is the brightest one we have had in twelve years, when Smiths comet swung around the circle in plain view The new comet has two tails. But these tails are twenty-six million miles away from the earth, which is much too far for a careful and com prehensive inspection of them. It is travelling at the rate of twenty-five miles a second, and is paying little attention, if any at all, to the earth, which is not the whole thing by any means.
 Our knowledge of comets is much like our knowledge of the sun-just about nothing at all. We know enough only to spin sea yarns about the heavenly bodies, but not enough to have any definite idea or even theory as to their makeup and uses. The comets are trife more mysterious than the planets and other stars, but in the last analysis they stand in hu, man knowledge on about one footing and in that footing knowledge Is pain fully manifest by it's absence.

POOR Lo GETTING GOOD.

From the Boston Transcript.
 It Is a cheery hopeful view that Miss Estelie Reel, superintendent or Indian schools, takes of the future condition of the Indians And since her opinion is based upon facts which she has been able to gather at first band, the rest Of us may take her viewpoint in considering the great question. If the "bad Indian has had his day. as she says the chances are that the rest of the race will attain as high a level morally as have the pale faces. It isn't likely, however. that the Indians will try to exceed us in being good" though in view of Professor James opinion of the educated class of today, 1t might come easier to him than he be- lieves possible

Car BuiIdina in the south.

The Jacquette syndicate has wrought destruction in a suburb of Memphis. and has injured Gadsden, and dealt Anniston a solar plexus blow "scuffling and juggling" says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, with great enterprises like this is too serious a matter. Too many peo- pie are affected" All of which is very true, and it would be well to as- certain, if possible, why and how so promising an industry was wrecked in so short time.
 The north has no right to monopolize the car building industry. Every bit of the raw material is procurable in this district at least-the iron and steel, the woods, and even the paint, and if 1t is anywhere asserted that a plain old seven-hundred-dollar box car cannot be proftably and well made in the south, it is a mistake. Such cars can be made here at lower cost than they can be made in St. Louis or Pittsburg, and the south should pull itself together for the pur- pose of seeing that a due proportion of them are made in the south. This Southern Car and Foundry wreck means nothing more than that some wild speculative plans have gone wrong. It does not mean\ that south ern iron and steel and southern pine cannot be profitably put into the form of box cars for use on southern railroads. It means nothing of the sort. The south and southern pro ducts do not stand condemned, be- cause a light-waisted speculative syn dicate has gone to pieces.
 The plants at Memphis, Anniston, Gadsden and Lenoir City should be re-opened-this time by a company with something behind 1t besides "hot air." and if Tennessee will do her part Alabama will fall into line, and a company can be formed that will carry on the great industry with profit to itself and with credit to this section of the country. Cars must and should be made in the south, and the failure of a syndicate that in- cluded no southern men should not be accepted as final, or even as way side testimony. The trouble was in the syndicate, and not in the local situation. Southern roads need cars, and they will place orders in the south in preference to shops away from their lines, and if Alabama and Tennessee will pull together the in- dustry can be re-established and placed beyond any sucn harm as has overtaken this crowd of spectators.

IT CAN'T STOP.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 The Kentucky republicans express with Kentuckian ardor their heartfelt ap- provai and admiration" of Mir. Roosevelt and heartily indorse him" for renomina- tion; and the resolution of approval, ad- miration, and indorsement was adopted by unanimous rising vote amid unani- nous cheers The little srags and sand bars that obstructed, but could not block. his boom in Ohio were not visible by the old Kentucky shore. So everything Is lovely and the goose honks high. The middle west smiles upon the adopted westerner of the middle east. The Roose- velt boom spins on with haste. and with out rest.
