COTTON KING.

A BULLETIN recently issued from
4 the census departments bureau Of
manufactures indicates that the south's
old claim that cotton is king" is amply
justified by the facts. The estimated
value Of the 1902 cotton crop was near
" $500, 600 COO. Only one other crop,
corn, exceeded # in value, the corn
total being 1921, 600 900. The wheat crop
OF 1901 was the largest on record, yet II
was valued at only S467 900, 600.
We are informed that raw cotton
easily holds first place among our ex-
ports. During the fiscal year that
ended June 80, 1902. cotton worth $3.50, -
651S19 was sent abroad, which IS ST.
100000 more than all the breadstuffs.
and $50. 600 more than the third
greatest export, provisions. including
meat and dairy products" But the
showing made by. cotton is even better
than the figures given above would in
dictate.
II we include the value Of all cotton
exports. such as raw cotton, cotton
manufactures and waste and cottonseed
and its products, we get a total OF S34s.-
479.74T This is more than one-fourth
of the total value Of all the exports
made by the United States. It viii be
seen that the cotton exports are OF
enormous Importance IN the settlement
Of foreign balances due by this country,
for the money from cotton can. it is
asserted. be depended upon to a degree
not possible with any other agricul-
tural product.
Now many people who are not intf-
mately acquainted with Utah's re-
sources know that this state ranks with
the cotton producers In the southern
part OF the state cotton is raised on a.
small scale. In 1901 1850 pounds were
raised. The report for 1902 has not been
completed.

PRESIDENT AND SMALL BOY.

A DISPATCH from Yosemite, Cal,
"A speaking OF President Roosevelt
says:
Then he passed under the arch and
rode, unaccompanied by anyone, down
the street Of Yosemite village. A small
boy said. 'Hullo, TeddyP The presi-
dent stopped his horse and a frown
darkened his face. He rode up to the
boy, the dignity Of the president gone
and in its place the face and severity
Of the father and parent. He gave the
yOungster a short lecture on manners
that he viii never forget"
Good for the PRESIDENT He did the
right thing exactly. And, 90 you know,
It was rather a brave thing, too? He
Tisked a torrent of impertinence from
the small boy, he rislzed a loss of his
own dignity when It would have been
so easy to pretend that he didn't hear
the irrepressible. It is a pity Presi-
dent Roosevelt didn't forget himself
just a trihe longer, say long enough
to have administered to the lad a neat
spanking. Doubtless that is what he
felt like doing, and he must have had
difficulty IN restraining himself
However, IL this lads parents are
ordinarily good people they viii see to
# that the rod is not spared, which is
perhaps, better than a presidential
chastisement. It is quite apparent to
even the casual observer that the aver
age American boy or girl is not as re-
spectful to adults as boys and girls OF
a generation ago. We seem to be out
growing the sensible old suggestion that
Children should be seen. not heard"
Your small boy or girl Of today cuts
into the conversation with the sang
froid Of an old-timer; they insist on
being noticed, and often they are no
ticed when they have no claim to
notice.
Tine Herald does not expect children
to/be angels. Nor do we think they
cAn reasonably be expected to keep
perfectly stiu in TIT. presence Of their
elders until they are spoken to- But
it is fair to insist that they pay a
proper amount Of respect to their
seniors at ali times and under all cir
cumstances. The presidents treatment
of the California boy may cause an
awakening along this line.
If it does. the impertinence Of that
young man may not have been in vain.
one thing is certain. That is, he viii

BASES OF PROSPERITY.

A WRITER in the Worlds Work for
n May discusses the prospect for a
continuance Of the prosperity which we
are told the country is enjoying. He
asks the question: Are the bases of
our prosperity secure?' But he does
not give a satisfactory answer to it,
allowing US to draw the inference that
he hopes we shall continue to be pros
porous. After speaking of the vast
amount Of specializing that has been
going on in New York and elsewhere,
the writer tells Of syndicate sDecula-
ton
when it is said that at the begin
ming of this year there were 793 indus
trial trusts and natural mOnopclies,
I having a total capitalization of $13,-
750. ia ,517. some idea is obtained of the
mass of stocks and bonds existing,
other than railroad securities. Of which
there has been an immense increase.
In the last three years the additions to
the listed and unlisted departments Of
the New York stock exchange have
| aggregated s., SEQ, 1920 This is nearly
One-third of the total amount of Sc
| curities now admitted to dealings in
! the exchange.
Not only this, but there has been
authorized, by 100 companies in the
last six months, new capitalization of
more than 81. 500, 100000. We now begin
} to obtain some conception of the enor-
nous burden imposed on the credit ca
pacity of the country. There
has been far too much underwriting Of
companies with inflated capital 1t IS
difficult to get comprehensive statistics
/ covering this point, but the twelfth
census reported 183 industrial cOmpa-
MES, whose stocks and bonds, amount
ing TO S3,OS5, 200, S68, represented only ST.
ass, 522. 573 in actual value in money or
property"
It is admitted that the situation is
a serious one and that it calls for the
greatest caution. A hopeful sign Of
the times is found in the fact that so
many prominent capitalists and fnan-
ciers are talking about the possibility
Of hard times. When a danger is rec
Ognized in time to prepare for it, the
battle is half won before the first gun
is fired.
People generally, however, viii not
be very deeply interested in the threat
ened panic This is true because the
people who viii be most deeply affected
are those who have gone mad after
over capitalization. Great trust COM
| panies that have underwritten the Sc
! curities Of giant corporations now find
those securities hard to get rid Of The
result viii be that business viii be re-
adjusted on a more sane and sensible
! basis. companies viii be capitalized for
I what they are worth and no more, and
/ when an investor goes into the market
! for a certain stock ne viii know that
/ stock has value behind it.

footing was going on. the police point
ing out the houses Of the Jews to the
mob"
AS indications of the fendish temper
of the mob. few instances of diabol-
tcaI cruelty are related. It is said that
/. a Jewess was found with two nails,
each seven inches long. driven into her
brain through her nose One man was
found with one hip. both legs and both
arms broken. his hands severed and
his feet hanging by shreds Of skin. A
carpenter found az his bench was
trussed up while the mob sawed off his
hands with his own saw.
Such instances as these and many
far more horrible could be multiplied.
Now what are the civilized nations go
ing to do about it2 What are the pow
ers that rule in Russia going to do? In
the face of the fearful Offenses related
no punishment would seem sufficient
