Principal Countries of the World is
the title OF this truly comprehensive
document. From it we learn, AMONG a
thousand other things, that the popu-

that the aggregate annual value Of its
commerce is 10000. 900; that the
stocks of money in civilized countries
amount 10 $4,000, ,OO0,0 900, and that the
total Indebtedness Of these countries
is approximately s34,3s9,000,0 900.
What do these figures mean?
They mean that the average amount
of actual money possessed by every
man, woman and child on the globe
exceeds IS; that the international
commerce amounts to about sl4 per
capita; that each person bears a lia-
bility Of S21 as his or her share Of the

Win ExperIment WIth EarIy cotton

Tishomingo, |. T., Jan. 21.-W. H..
Murray, president of the Tishomingo
institute has called a meeting Of all
the farmers of the Wichita valley at
Tishomingo on January 2 for the pur-
pose of securing the introduction OF
an early cotton from North Carolina.
Mr. Murray wants the cooperation Of
enough farmers to secure a carload
of seed and get it planted as an exper-
iment.
II is claimed that this cotton would
prove very successful in the Wichita
valley; that it will mature in 120 days
and thus give a crop early enough to
escape all danger of frost and to be
picked with less expense in August.
Experiments with this cotton made
in the boil weevil districts of Texas
last summer demonstrated that it
withstood the weevil better and made
more cotton TO the acre than did the
ma i've plant. Many farmers believe
this kind of cotton will greatly in
crease the output in the Chickasaw
nation.

AS IT LOOKS TO-DAY

The past two weeks have witnessed
a marked change in the attitude OF
Republicans toward the state ticket.
Here in Grand Rapids and Wood
County those who we're disposed to
resent what is termed machine
interference are coming to realize
that the experiment OF wreaking
vengeance through the medium OF
Democratic victory is altogether toe
hazardous to the general welfare OF
the party, the state and the nation.
There is no guarantee in the past
record of that party that it will meet
its promises. and republicans are
wisely concluding to stand by their
guns AID effect all necessary reform
through the medium of their own
party. United effort is all that is
required to effect that result and in
due time it will be forthcoming. Mr.
La Lollette's manly declarations OF
his purpose to be guided by the best
interests of the people and to approve
any reform measure which may
reach the executive Office has been
re-assuring, and confidence in the
election OF the entire state ticket is
now general.

IT IS BEING DISCUSSED

We are glad that this question OF
primary reform is being so much dis
cussed. We are glad the duties OF
citizenship are being over and over
again reviewed. Even good laws will
not enforce themselves. II, during
the coming two years and four years
and other years to follow, interest and
desire on the part of the people OF
Wisconsin in favor OF honest methods
and fair dealing in the handling OF
our nominating system shall continue,
letter results than our state has ever
known will be. secured. Whatever
may be the means through which the
ideal In such methods is to be brought
about, there should be no disagree
ment in the desire for state laws
which will to the fullest extent
possible, secure the better results
desirable The existence of such a
spirit is of far more value to the state
than mere legislative provisions could
possibly be. But the statutes Of our
state should make il as easy as pos
sible for the legitimate desire of the
voting citizen to be expressed, and as
difficult for trickery and illegitimate
influences to find successful operation,

THE COUNTRY PRESS

One Of the finest tributes to the
country newspaper that has ever been
rendered was contained in recent
address by Senator Chauucy M.
Depew before the New York Press
Association. Mr.. D-pew said: 81
pay my respects TO and express my
admiration for the country newspaper
and the country editor. His lines are
not cast in places of the great and
profitable organs Of the metropolis,
whose profits are reckoned often by
the hundreds Of thousands of dollars
every year. But the country editor
lives in and is part Of his community
His virtue is not so much in what he
prints as in what he refuses to print.
He could easily destroy the peace of
the community bv admitting to his
paper the scandals and gossip Of the
neighbors. But he stands as censor
and a guardian of public morals, and
l know of DO conditions under which
the puplic is appealed to in certain
measure where the utterance is SO free
from criticism as the general tone of
the country press" The old fashioned
newspaper organ is rapidly becoming
extinct. Successful and influential
newspapers of to-day in cities, both
large and small, are distinguished
for the fairness with which they
discuss political opponents.
