OF steel and iron products.
one or the most interesting OF econo-
mic theories is that the consump-
ton of food stuffs is rapidly outstrip-
ping production as shown by the in
creased value of increased crops, and
further, that the areas yet available
Tor growing food stuffs are definitely
limited, whereas the consumption will
go on increasing progressively without
limit. The truth herein involved has
been strongly illustrated this year in
the cotton market. The price of cot
ton has been steadily advancing from
around cents per pound to this high
level. BY the statement has been
steadily advancing is meant to be con-
Veyed that over a period of years the
average price has been rising. Only
three years ago 10-cent cotton was a
vision that caused the downfall of
Price, Mccormick & Co., who failed
for $14,000,000 in the midst of a bull
campaign in that staple. Ten-cent cot
ton appears now to be a thing of the
past. When the staple crossed that
price many months ago through the
efforts of manipulative interests who
anticipated conditions which have since
been generally realized, conservative
interests were loud in their denuncia-
ton of these same manipulators and
predicted that great disaster would
overtake them. But one bull clique
after another has been in control of
the cotton market, elch retiring with
enormous profits. First it was the
Price clique; then it was the Sully
clique; then the New Orleans party
took the staple up where Sully left
off and bulled it further. The New
Orleans clique got out with Ohormous
profits and where it left off the Sully
clique began again. The trouble is
that the consumption of cotton is out
stripping the production. European
buyers refused to believe the advanced
prices of cotton were genuine and held
off for months and months, but finally
bought on an enormous scale so that
our October exports of cotton were
the second largest in history, while
the value of this same commodity was
much higher in the average than ever
before. November exports of cotton
will be larger still. Our cotton is
best in the world and COMMAND.
6upSllOI plICSSs All lillS is
very disastrous to the spinning indus
tries of New England and the South.
Cotton goods prices will have to go up
in order to leave a margin of profit
for the manufacturers. The production
of cotton has about reached it's maxi
mum. 1t has reached it in this coun-
try. Other cotton producing areas in
various parts of the world not only
produce an inferior staple, but are lin
tied as to any increase. Egyptian cot
ton has been much exploited of late,
but the possibilities there are limited,
owing to the fact that the available
area comprises only two narrow strips
along the Nile. One might venture the
opinion that the result will be a sub
stitute for cotton.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Board of
Health figures lately given out show
that the deaths by accident on the
streets of New York were only 1865
in 1908 instead of between 500 and 600,
as reported earlier. Commissioner
Greene is almost jubilant over the
better showing of the later figures, but
it isn't very good after all.
Three hundred and sixty-tive deaths
per annum is one every day in the
year, and the figures over which Com
missioner Greene takes so much COM
fort, 1t seems to the thinking citizen,
are anything but creditable to the
management of the town. One of the
big papers showed the sentiment of
the public concerning the matter in
an extremely clever cartoon last Sun

substantially than Ray Stannard Ba-

has figured so prominently in the con-
troversy over Leonard Woods confir-

When Coxey of good roads and
hobo crusaders memory got ready for
his memorable march to Washington,
some seven or eight years ago, Mr..
Baker was a reporter for one of the
Chicago papers. He had not been
connected with the paper very long,
and he was overjoyed when assigned
to go to Massillon, o., where the march
was to begin, and continue with the
army as long as It should be on the
move.
II was at Massillon that the present
writer first met the young reporter.
His way of reporting the sayings and
doings and movements OF Coxey, his
fanatical assistant, Brown, and the
