MILL MEN
IN SESSION
IN BOSTON

Boston. April 27.--A discussion OF sub
Iects OF interest and OF value 10 the trade
was arranged for the annual convention OF
the New England Cotton Manufacturers
association which opened here today for
two days session BY invitation OF Presi-
dent Henry #. Pritchett OF the Massachu-
setts Institute OF Technology. the pro
ceedings were held in Huntington hall
IN one OF the technology buildings. After
the election OF Officers and the reports OF
secretary and treasurer President Prftch-
EFT delivered an address OF welcome TO
the delegates
In his annual address as president OF the
association Herbert e Walmsley OF New
Bedford said that one OF the most press
ing questions engaging the attention OF
the cotton world today was that OF the
DEVELOPMENT OF the resources OF tha south
srn cotton belt. He hold that IL was es-
sential 20 the interests OF the United
States, as a producer. manufacturer and
exporter az cotton that the supply from
our fields be increased and It's cost re-
duced so as to retain an enormous source
OF wealth TO the country. He expressed
the opinion that the trade will never be
free from undnly high prices. speculation
and unsatisfactory and harmful fiuctua-
tions until there n an ample supply or
the raw material. This was the ...ly possi-
BILE cure for stagnation OF trade and IL
would prevent. he said. TO a great extent
the precious traffic OF "cornering."
Mr. wsrmsley added that he thought
that the result OF the disastrous II months
they had passed through with its shortage
OF cotton and its speculative manipulation
would ultimately prove a blessing In dis
guise for the entire manufacturing world.
1t was unreasonable. he said, to antici-
pate a revival of trade at remunerative
prices and a return TO long period of
prosperity
Speaking OF the labor problem the presi-
dent stated II might be long time before
a uniform working day was esta blished In
the United States but when the necessity
for II was realized he said II would inevi-
tably come He pointed out that the mar
gin OF profit In cotton manufactured VIZ
now 30 small that such a difference as
exists in the working hours In different
states particularly between the north and
south was enough to compel a move to
the states OF longer labor days or else q
OF business altogether.

A proposition is to be submitted to
Congress asking for an increase in
the pay of soldiers in the infantry and
cavarty branch who qualify as expert
sharphshooters and expert rifiemen.
The great value of a soldier who can
hit what he shoots at over one who
cannot, is so self-ev ident that it seems
very strange Congress has not already
recognized this fact to the extent ask.
ed for by those who propose to present
the proposition TO that body. In hand
to.hand conflicts. weight of numbers
tells. but with battles fought at from
500 to 1000 yards, a thousand expert
marksmen are worth ten times their
number who can only fire at random.
No one can dispute the fact that an
expert rifleman or sharpshooter would
be qualified as skilled laborer in civil
life if he possessed an equal amount
of skill in any other trade OF course,
the proposed increase in pay will re-
quire legislative action, but no better
investment can be made by Congress
in the allotment of public funds than
that which would make the position
of the soldier more attractive to the
Intelligent and industrious young men
of this country and that which makes
it worth while for the soldiers to do
their best with their weapons.

There ought to be a wholesome les
son to every young man in the signal
manner in which political honors, re-
wards and responsibilities come to the
man with sound physique and steady
nerves No sort of a man can win
the laurels and carry the load that is
their price. This is true of every
shining post in the realm of affairs.
Il is only little more conspicuous in
politics than elsewhere. While ascot
icism teaches us to despise the body,
the lesson of politics is that the body
is rather more important than the in
tellect. If physical strength can do
no more, it can do so much, it can en-
