The Helpful Policeman

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: On lower
Fulton street this afternoon restaurant sign was
blown over and lay across the sidewalk. IL was a
wide wooden sign resting on four feet with the
bill OF fare chalkcd on II. II fell on Its edge and
lay obstructing the sidewalk, leaving space only
a foot wide the curb for travel In both drec-
tons, except for agile young people who could
make a running Jump over IL.
policeman was near and called his attention
to II. He gave II less than momentary sid glance
and walked another way. He did not say word
take any further notice OF the matter and words
are inadequate to describe the calm. easy. insolent
contcmptuousness with which he carelessly saun-
tered OF, leaving the obstruction lying there.

Questions for n Weak Brother.

The programme of the Odell candidate
for Governor is not sufficiently clear
For example, Mr.. HIGGINS said at Olean
Suggestions will be welcome. dictaton repealed,
and in the end my individual judgment alone must
determine my ofI,cial actions"
Does this mean, Mr.. HIGGINS, that il
you are Governor your attitude toward
Odellism and its projects and interests
will undergo a change from what it has
been during your time as legislator and
Northumberland
If you mean to be understood as prom
ising a change of attitude and q new in
dependence of dctation, then you must
also be understood as confessing that
while legislator and Lieutenant-Gover-
nor dictation has not been repealed and
in the end your individual judgment
alone has not determined your official
action.
Now, what sort of a guarantee of
future independence is such confession
of past subserviency?
If, on the other hand, you mean to be
understood as declaring that no change
in yourself is required and that your
backbone needs no stiifening for the
office of Governor, what promise of indie
pendence of ODELLs dictation does your
past record on all the principal Grocery
measures afford?
Point out, or get your friends to specify,
single important instance when your
view of official duty clashed with the
plans and interests of the Grocery and
in the end prevailed.
Another phrase from the Clean pros
pectus is this,
pledge myself unreservedly to all the citizens
equivalent for every dollar spent"
Do you mean the same sort of eqliva-
lent that they had for the $ls,6ls paid
to Mr. E. II. HARRIMAN's Furnaceville
Iron Company for excavating soft dirt
on section of the canal at rock exca-
walton rates?
We're you not the leading member of
the Odell Canal Board when, in face of
the conclusive evidence presented by the
Attorney General to show the fraudulent
character Of that item, the board passed
the same for the benefit of the Furnace
vile Iron Company, the contractor? And
was it not your vote which alone made
possible that diversion of the States

Don't Write Your Indignation on
the Ballot.

The Grocery has taken pains to inform
to mark the official ballot for a split
ticket, and that if they attempt TO pre-
serve their self-respect by voting against
Grocery candidates their ballots may be
thrown out
Futile warning! Even tho Grocery
sees the handwriting on the wall. Its
silly warnings, by some regarded as
threats of an intention to steal the cleo
ton, will not deter the voters from their
duty to their country, their State and
their party. The voters mean TO stamp
out the Grocery.
But there is one thing against which
voters should be cautioned. In 1901,
when feeling ran high against ROBERT
A. VAN WICK as a candidate for Justice of
the Supreme Court in the First Judicial
district, many citizens opposed to him
invalidated their ballots by placing on
them marks other than the legal cross
(X) marks prescribed by the statute.
Voters wrote upon their ballots such
phrases us mo Ice!' Down with the
Ice Tr,istl' "A cold day for the Ioemanl"
and the like. The presence of such mes
sages on the ballots was contrary to
law and those 30 marked were properly
thrown out.
In this way many voters in the First
Judicial district managed to disenfran-
chise themselves. Throughout the State
this incident should be remembered by
every citizen next month. No matter
how indignant they may be. no matter
how great their contempt for the Gro

seeks senatorship and forpets everything

The South Capable Of Supplying the
Worlds Demand for Cotton.

At the suggestion of Mr.. RICHARD H.
EDMoNDs of Baltimore, European cotton
spinners have been invited to visit the
Southern States and personally to OBJ
serve the methods of cotton raising and
the almost limitless opportunity remain
ing for an increased production.
Last month the Cotton Growers Asso-
citation at st. Louis passed a resolution
containing such an invitation. At the
recent meeting of bankers in New York
a resolution to like effect was intro
duoed by a Georgia bank officer, and
various other organizations at the South
and in the North have joined in the invi-
tation. English cotton manufacturers
look favorably on the project, and it
seems settled that the party of obser-
walton and study will be formed on a
large and representative scale.
The plan is to carry the visitors through
the Southern cotton section at some time
during the present month, exhibit to them
the agricultural regeneration which has
been effected there of late years, and
then to hold sort Of international cotton
spinners' convention. The originator of
the scheme and all those familiar with
Southern conditions are confident that
the foreign spinners, together with those
of the North to be joined with them, will
be convinced by personal observation
that the Southern cotton region is easily
capable of producing all of the staple
needed by the world now or likely to be
needed for many years to come
Incidentally it is hoped that one of the
results of such an inspection will be
stimulation Of immigration to the South,
where there are many millions of acres
of untitled lands capable of producing as
much cotton per acre as does the land
now under cultivation, while at present
there is no population sufficient to till
them.
The Southerners have no doubt of
their ability to demonstrate to the in
specting visitors that cotton raising in
the South promises better for the farmer
than agriculture of any kind elsewhere.
At meeting of the New England Cotton
Manufacturers Association last month a
Southern cotton planter predicted that
if the requisite additional labor supply
shall be introduced the cotton crop will
be doubled inside Of twenty years.
This is not a fancful outlook; there is
no exaggeration about it, Not merely
10 there vast body of additional land
available for cotton cultivation, but the
methods Of cultivation also are suscepti-
BILE of improvements which will largely
increase the production of the land al
ready titled. The industry needs re-
organization after tho agricultural sys-
tenn pursued on the vast grain raising
farms Of the West. In discussion of the
subject several months ago Louisiana
planter spoke OF the slight changes in
the methods of cotton cultivation which
had been made in half century and
pointed out the profit which would accrue
from more scientific system.
The Southern cotton associations are
undoubtedly right in contending that
the South Is capable Of producing all

State and Nation.

The greater strength of Democratic
candidates in State as compared with
national contests has been frequently
noted. In the election of 1892 in Oregon,
the Democrats were successful in elect
ing Governor CHAMBERLAIN, though the
Republicans won the other offices. The
present Governor of Rhode Island
LUCIUs F. c. GARvIN, Democrat, was
last elected in 1903 when the other candi-
dates chosen were Republican. Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, overwhelm-
ingly Republican, have had Democratic
Governors; in Massachusetts, WILLIAM
f. RUSSELL for three terms, and in Penn
syivania, ROBERT +. PATTIsoN for two
terms of four years each.
In the State of Washington the Repub-
Leans were successful in 1900 but the
Democrats elected the Governor, choos-
ing JOHN r. ROGERS by 1000 majority
when the Republican electoral ticket of
MCKINLEY and ROOSEVELT was success
full by 10000.
New York in 1888 chose the Republican
electoral ticket and the Democratic State
ticket, the Republican electors by plu-
rality of $4,000 and the Democratic Gov
ernor by 10000
There are many voters who, while sup
porting Democratic nominees in State
contests when the Republican candidates
are Objectionable or unworthy, are reso-
lutte supporters of Republican national
tickets, This fact is not without applica-
ton to political conditions in New York,
where many thousand independent Re-
publicans are in revolt against Odellism.

candidates for electors Of President and

If any additional mark appears upon

aid and comfort to the Grocery.
