and conduct insufferabie to self-respect!
If the civil courts must be appealed to at

WHY ask these people, should they not
have authority to deal Wit! every Praoti-
cal breach of the contract?
Those are arguments Of the advocates
of the so-called free divorce, so gen.
eral in this country that it may be
said to be the national policy, and they
are sustained by the practice OF our
American society, high and low, with
the exception of Roman Catholics
only. Among Episcopalians, Presbyter-
ians, Baptists. Msthodists and Protes-
tants generally marriage is regarded, and
practically treated, as civil contract
dis ,olvable for any cause allowed by the
laws of the States, without any regard 10
the law of the Church, Practically, the

high social examples to demonstrate how
prevalent is that feeling.

4 Case of Drowning.

With the capsizing of the schooner
yacht Estelle in the Sound on Monday
there were capsized also, in our opinion,
the entire crew Of freshwater or rather
'longshore theorists who have rallied at
the type of boat of which our Cup de-
tenders are the extreme illustration as
freaks and unhealthy The very
opposite of these berated modern boats
was the Estelle, an old-fashioned centre
board schooner, launched nearly thirty
years ago. She was skimming dish,
twenty-five feet wide and Of seven and a
half feet draught She was Of the kind
that defended the Americas Cup before
the American designer backed by the
metallurgst, threw her out Of his yard
and planned the deep-finned body that
to-day is the standard model for all
racing craft. When the Estelle got a real
hard knockdown she was without power
to right herself. and over she went.
Now look at the Cup defender in blow!
She laughs at ii. 1t never gets on her
shippers mind. You can choke her with
canvas, cover her rail with pure green
water, even take the mast out of her II
possible, lay her on her side, and the next
moment she comes up smiling, because
below her deck at distance equal to her
beam is the secret alike of her speed anu
seaworthiness- great lump Of lend.
The Estelle was towed to the shipyard
to be resuscitated, we suppose; but, all
the same, as practical fact, she was
drowned. The good ship Reliance and
her sisters, the so-called freaks, are
even now sailing over the sunken hull,
of the old-fashioncd skimming dish.

A Danger in High-Priced Cotton.

The speculative enhancement OF cotton
prices is enjoyable business, no doubt,
for those who are making money out OF it.
Yet it is, nevertheless, by no means de-
void of danger to the general welfare OF
the country The United States may be,
for the present, the Chief source OF the
worlds supply of raw cotton Nothing
would 30 speedily tend toward her loss
of that supremacy as continuance OF
artifcially high prices in the cotton
market.
Our Southern cotton belt forms only
comparatively small part Of the worlds
possible cotton area. Mexico, Brazil,
China, India, Japan, Russia, Peru, a good
half OF the entire continent of Africa,
large areas in southwestern Asia and
many islands in different parts OF the
world are potential cotton countries. In
some of them the industry is already ex-
tensively established, and no slrcr way
exists of increasing that establishment
than that of forcing high price for the
American product.
Germany is already devoting careful
thought to the utilization of her vast
West African colonial possessions as
cotton fields, with cheap ~ fir labor as
On important factor in cheap produc-
ton France is even now discussing
cotton culture in her African possessions.
and steps have hecn tuk"n by tie Fren"h
Government toward investigation and
experiment in regions where successful
cotton growing is little short of fore
gone conclusion FfglSnd's new dam at
Assouan on he Nile will undoubtedly give
n strong st mulus to cotton cultivation
in a country already large producer.
The higher the pric" Of tho American
article the greater the stimulus to a COM
petition which might easily leave us with
heavy stocks on hand and only the homo
market in which to place them. 1t is by
no means certain that this will not come
after a time, in any event. There is
hardly a country in the world which con-
not supply itself with cotton, either from
home or colonial production. All that is
required is little enterprise stimulated
by high prices.
Saying the best that can be said for
competition, it is not generally counted
as good business either to create it or to
stimulate it unduly If cotton can be
grown in our Southern States, as it can
be, at cents tho pound with fair
margin Of profit, to force it up to 10 or
II cents in a speculative market is only
a form of commercial suicide.
