EGYPT'S COTTON "BOGY".

News comes again that if the Southern
farmers continue to take the high prices
that are offered for their cotton, the Brit
ish and German people will go into the
cotton business on so large scale as to
seriously cripple the Southern cotton
grower. They are also threatened with
great increase in Egyptian cotton. AS a
matter of fact, no matter whether cotton
sells at five or fifteen cents, the Euro
pean countries will grow cotton in their
African colonies if they can do So They
tried very hard during the War Between
the States, and failed. They may succeed
in their new effort. If so, and the South
ern farmers are injured thereby, they Will
have to bear the injury as best they cam
But. until the land, with the right sort
of climate, is discovered for growing cot
ton, the Southern farmers will continue
to sell their cotton at the highest market
prices, and rot insist upon giving 1T away
for fear that England and German colo
MES will run them out of business.
AS to the danger from Egyptian cotton
We print elsewhere an interesting letter
written by william E. Curtis to the Chi
cago rd-Herald, in which he gives
facts and figures that dispose of the
Egyptian cotton bogy.

the roseate tints that adorn the resplend

on which the great game of selling this

The conditions urge and the prospects
invite the farmer to do his utmost Truly
the situation is an interesting one AnC
| difficulties are not wanting when it comes
to determining what it is best to do. Bat
easy problems interest easy people; the
difficult ones interest those who glory in

sense which has helped so many Southern
farmers to succeed in times Of financial

them under present conditions Of fairer

There is a safe way. In the days wnen
cotton was five and six cents men planted
literally, but did not reap profits bounti-
fully. They learned however to raise
cotton economically The safe way is
not to depart from the principles of thrift
and economy. There's money in cotton
al fifteen cents, good money, big money.
The prudent farmer will plant all the
cotton he can reasonably hope to pick
out. Then he will raise his own sup
plies. He will practice his usual economy
in fertilizing, cultivation, and harvest
ing He will raise both cotton and sup
plies for the smallest outlay consistent
with good business principles.
And then if cotton brings a good price.
he can sell and get his money; if it is
too low, he has raised his supplies and
put himself in condition to hold for bet
ter prices. The thing for the cotton
planter the South over seems to be to
fix himself to keep his cotton off the
market and then raise all the cotton he
can.

There is some question as to whether
the advice given by the News and OBJ
server, in the foregoing, is to be taken
literally. Yet there is no doubt that it
contains advice which should be followed.
1t would scarcely be good idea to abolish
the readers altogether from the schools,
but it would certainly be well to supple
ment them with newspapers OF = proper
kind. 1t is not well to follow the text
book too slavishly, but it is quite as dan
gerous not to have anything to follow
and to pursue such a desultory course
of study as would probably come IN case
the readers were abolished and newspapers
substituted We are heartily IN faVor OF
using the newspaper more generally IN our
schools, but care should De taken IN the
selection of these papers, so that no paper
should be brought into the schools which
might be hurtful to any child attending
them

SENATOR SIMMONS AGAIN.

Elsewhere we publish from our Wash
Senator Simmons. OF course, the treaty
will be ratified. The editor of this paper,
in a signed article from Washington on
January 14th, said there was no doubt
that enough Democratic Senators would
vote with the solid Republican majority
to ratify the treaty. All this paper has
said since has been written with the
knowledge that the treaty would be rati-
fed. But the result does not at all affect
the moral aspect Of the question. We
regard the conduct of the President in
handed usurpation of power in the his
tory of America. Instead of condon;ng
such executive usurpation it should lie
pilloried.
vote for the treaty. He criticized the
P, esidents policy in his speech printed on
Sunday, but his vote will be taken as
condoning it. His interview does not add
strength to his position. Of course MIR.
Roosevelt did not officially order the
American, Frenchman, Indian and five
natives to secede, but they knew that the
American army and navy would stand by
them. Two days before the secession
farce was enacted, battleships had been
dispatched to Panama to deter Colombia
oh PIIt
this administration would back up Pan
anna, there would have been no secession.
Senator Simmons already feels called
upon to defend Roosevelt from the charge
that the revolution was gotten up in this
country but he does not make out
case. The circumstantial evidence that
Roosevelt, or some person near to him,
who knew his views and knew what he
wanted, is as clear as any piece of cir
cumstantial evidence upon which any
man was ever convicted. Mr.. Roosevelt
is too smart to put on record any evi-
dence that the eight men in Panama read
his mind and proceeded to act upon their
ability as mind readers.
We are glad to see Senator Simmons
say it is not necessary to vote for the
treaty to get a canal constructed. The
only argument in favor of voting for the
treaty that we have deemed OF weight
was that if the treaty failed no canal
would be dug Now that Senator Sim
mons says that failure of the treaty would
net kill the canal, we see no reason at
ali for supporting the treaty. AS TO the
effect on the Democratic party, we have
our Judgment, it will njure the Demo
cratic party much more to vote 20 pal
late, excuse, condone, or take The fruits
of executive usurpation than il
will to let the Republicans say See,
we arc building the canal, despite the OPP
DC sition of the Democratic party and the
defeat of the treaty When the treaty is
ratified, if there is any glory in it, Roose
welt will monopolize it, and he will be
eI titled to whatever of glory there IS be-
cause he will be the real father OF Seces-
SIGN, Coercion of Colombia, and Senate
Approval of Executive Usurpation. Later
on, too, when the Panama scandals core
reeking from that malarial country, let
Roosevelt too bear the blame of that.
