tical Certainty.
New York Commercial.

new Ork Commercial
Either the price of cotton goods
must 90 up or that of raw cotton
come down, else the mills will be
forced to curtail production, if not
to reduce the wages of their en-
pluyes. BY July fully 90 per
cent. of the mills in the United
States will be curtailing their out
put in some way. There is no
question of the production of cot
ton in the United States and
throughout thc world being now
below the consumptivc demand.
There is need for an American
crop of nearly -, 900, 900 bales -
perhaps more-w hich should com.
nand not les? than s cents pound
for middling grade in the New
York market; and this price is
sufficient inducement for its culti>
vation, it rightly conducted and
a proper disposition made of the
seed.
From this point of view, of an
insufficient supply, it can be easily
reasoned that cotton should be
worth fully 10 cents pound and
1t would be if the trade could he
made to take the manufactured
product at corresponding value
But the conditions of trade show
no disposition to bring about this
relation of things.
AS matters now stand, the hol.
der of cotton has the advantage
over the manufacturer. The latter
cannot get all the cotton required
to keep his null in operation to it's
full spinning capacity. 1t is not
in existence, and what there is is
low grade and pos IDLY undesirable
for his neels. At the best he
must curtail his consumption and
to an extent, possibly, below an
econonIcal standard for the opcr,
atlo% of his plant, unless he is Wi
ling to put himself ut the mercy of
the vendor.
The worlds visible supply OF
cotton is 475, 600 bales, all kinds,
less han 1T was n year ago, and
there was n shortage then; and that
OF American cotton, alone, i: $50
600 bales less. This gives strong
statistical position to the market,
fortified still more by Il prospec~
tive commercial crop for the sea
son of 500, 600 bales of American
cotton less than the demands for
manufacturing, while the actual
amount of cotton grown is placed
by the Census Bureau at 100000
bales less.
Unfortunately, the gamers in
the recent advance in the price of
cotton ate not the planters. These
haye had none 'f the benefits in
the rise over 9 cents n pOupd

Preventive OF Divorce.

In view of the fact that it is no
uncommon thing for n divorce to
be granted in fifteen minutes, it Is
interesting to note that there is
occasionally to be found Judge
who will not grant ,some divorces
within number of minutes or
hours.
To this class of judges belongs
Judge John w. McElhenney of
st. LOUIS, who recently denied a
divorce on the grounds of insult
ficient reasons for such pro3e.
dure, and then outlined the ohli
cations of married persons in the
following six rules:
GA wife should he fully eman.
cipated from her mother.
"lt is the duty of both to for
sake father and mother and clcavc
to each other.
"The husband is the head of the
family, and it is tho wife's dity
to live where he chooses, in the
style he adopts and abide where
his station in life iustiies.
"Every presumption is in favor
of the wife's innocence; she is
probably surer of the path of vir
tue than he. Let him trust her as
he expects to be trusted and mu-'
teal confidence will inspire both TO
be true.
"Let the husband not toy with
thoughts of suicide. 1t is out of
date, well l,nigh obsolete. 1t is no
longer deemed evidence of brav-
cry, but is proof of moral cowar-
dice.
"The husband should not sulll.
lie should be proud of his wife,
if others admire her, instead of
being Jealous.
With the exception of the open
ing suggestion of the time>worn,
causeless, absolutely lnexcusable
mother-in-Iaw joke, the aole jur-
ist's rules, have much to recon-
mend them. There are few that
would be entirely inapplicahIe to
nine out of ten of the cases that
agitats the law courts, but there
can be no doubt but that distrust
and causeless jealousy form the
basis of many II legal separation,
and the evils of a course making
such menial attitude possible can
not be too pcrsistently pointed out
by those who are at least assumed
to be wiser than the majority of
their fellow men.

SOME FOOT BALL LESSONS.
INSTRUCTION TO Be GAINED FROM THE
CONTEST WITH GEORGETOWN
YESTERDAY.

In view of the fact that all the football
games now being played by the midshiP-
men are in the way of preparation for the
big contest with the Army next month it
may not be out OF place to call attention
to few lessons to be gained from the
meeting with Georgetown yesterday
These lessons may be summarized as
follows:
/. The Navy deserves the greatest Gre
dit for putting up desperate "last ditch"
game.
2. The Navy deserves the greatest Gre
dit for gaining fifteen consecutive yards
at the end of the first half, where they
were needed for touchdown
3. The score should have been. about
Georgetown, "a; Navy, o.
4. 1t is absolutely essential for a de
termination of the relative merits OF two
opposing teams that the referee and UNI
pire be chosen from neutral sources.
5. Georgetown was almost half a
second quicker getting away than Navy.
6. Our military athletic institutions
cannot hope to compete successfully
against civilian institutions unless they
have more time for practice.
7. 1t is difficult to beat the Celt at any
game, requiring strength, skill and train
ing.
