A Cheering Sign Of The
Times.

The war waged on gambling in
New York, in Cincinnati, and in
many other cities, is sign of the
times, and a mighty cheering one
too.
There are few misguided folks
who insist that a city can only
prosper with the lid off," that
visitors to great city naturally
expect to find a good deal of re-
taxation, and that they seek the
place where there is the greatest
opportunity for a good time
That is nonsense. 1t is also a
reflection on humanity.
Why should the opportunity for
a stranger to lose his money be
considered a municipal! asset!
The truth of the matter is that
from one end of the country to the
other vice is becoming all the time
less privileged. Those who are
wise do not expect perfection.
They realize that where people are
herded together there is bound to
be some immortality. and they do
not expect or demand blue laws or
puritannical methods.
But they do expect the enforce
ment of sane laws, the punishment
of those who do wrong and, as far
as is possible, the removal of temp
tation from the paths of mankind.
The official who is strong enough
and courageous enough to do his
duty finds more backing from the
public than he ever had before,
and there is less maudlin sympathy
for those who disobey the laws
than there has been heretofore.
There is almost constant warfare
in New York ON vice. The fo ul
thing that contaminated the police
force and made great city noted
for sin has been compelled to fight
for its very existence for years,
and the fight gains strength as it
progresses.
The crooks, and gamb lers, and
bribers have suffered, while the
greatly city has grown greater and
prospered more than at any time
in its history.
To say that a city must be bad
in order to grow and flourish is the
veriest nonsense.-Omaha Daily
News.

VICTORY FOR ASSOCIATION.
Looks Like Southern Farmers Are
Winning Out.

Mr.. E. D. Smith, president of
the South Carolina division of
the Southern Cotton Association
and field agent Of the general
association, is just back from a
trip through the southwest and
has given out the following in
terview as to the situation:
"In the letters sent to the
press from the West I did not
in any way exaggerate the con-
dition existing there up to the
18th of May" said Mr.. Smith.
.There was scarcely one
third the cotton in Texas plant
ed at the time I was there.
Through the State Of Louis
lana, from Shreveport to Vicks-
burg, conditions similar to those
in Texas and the territories ex-
listed. In Mississippi the condi-
tons were no better.
Throughout the boil weevil
section of Texas, unless the cot
ton is planted the latter part of
March or the first of April, it is
practically useless to plant it at
all; because in normal years the
boil weevi1 comes out Of its
habitation about the first of
July, and under these conditions
a crop Of bolls is matured suf-
fciently to guarantee a partial
crop. This year the conditions
have been ideal for the propa-
cation of the boil weevil. Excess
sive heat and humidity are con-
ditions necessary for the prolific
crop on this basis. Already he
has appeared on the scene.
s'Prof. Cornell, editor of the
Farm and Ranch, was shown
specimens of the adult weevil
about the first Of May, which
show that he is from four to six
weeks earlier than normally.
Under these conditions to plant
cotton now would be absolute
folly. The government report
bears out this statement.
GAS to the farmers Of Texas
keeping the pledge of The New
Orleans convention. I find them
as determined and enthusiastic
as any part east of the Missis-
sippi, in fact more so. I found
in this state, and in fact in most
of the Western states, the need
of warehouses for protection of
the crop was more acute than
here. In those vast cotton fields
there is absolutely no shelter to
protect the cotton, and their
method of storing it is to en-
close a space with barbed wire,
