Tho Grand Young Man.

All summer the Hon. ALBERT JERE-
MIAH BEvERIDdE, Indiana's Grand
Young Man, was hidden in impenetrable
wilderness from the publicity which he
hates. He did not advance upon Ports
mouth. His whereabouts were I'M
known even to NICHOLAS II. Not till he
shone on Sycamore Hill the other day
like morning on the mountains did the
world learn what work the Grand Young
Man was doing, what thought churned
in the mighty vessels OF his brain, what
words were pounding at the doors Of his
delivery room.
Mr.. BHvERIpGE has been writing q
book for boys. Good news for good and
earnest boys who wish to be BEvER-
lDGEs when they get little older. The
dew Of youth still glitters in the eyes Of
that Hoosier chief, young in years, but
In sage counsel old; and those boys, Of
whom he often seems a contemporary,
will be voters before long
Il don't know anything, gentlemen, l"
said Mr.. BEvER1DGE when he came out
OF the bush and was attacked by re-
porters. This humility Of world states
man is as gratifying as it is uncommon.

State and Church and Education,

State and Church and Education.
We have received this letter from a
distinguished gentleman in a town of
Ohio, making point which he seems to
regard as both important and unde-
cided:
ITO THE EDIroR OF THE SUN-Sty: In the dis
cussion In THR Sun over parochial schools. the
bottom question: whether Church or State should
control the education OF the children Of the State
seems not to have been raised. But that II sooner
or later will be raised Is quite certain. A.J.w.
MARIETTA. Sept. g."
That question has not only been raised
already, but has also been decided, so
far as concerns the support Of education
by the State. With such schools the
Church has nothing to do. If, however,
any citizen desires to have his children
educated by the Church he is free to
send them to school supported by
the Church.
The State cannot control the educa-
ton Of the children Of the State, in the
sense Of prohibiting them from receiv-
ing education by the Church, though,
as the Constitution of the State of New
York provides. it can prohibit the ex.
penditure Of public money for Church
schools.

Power Of a National Committee.

In 1900 the Republican national COM
mittee and the Republican national con-
vention took up the quarrel between the
Republican factions in Delaware and
decided that ADDIcKs and his adherents
were entitled to recognition as the
legitimate organization in the Blue Hen
State. Many wise men shook their
heads solemnly and prophesied that by
this action the doom Of the anti-Addicks
following was sealed. 1t was predicted
freely that ADDICKs, with the backing
Of the national organization, would
overcome his enemies and succeed in
his campaign for the United States
Senate. But ADDlCKs did not succeed
and, in spite Of the attitude Of the .na-
tional councils Of the party, he has been
ousted from his position Of importance
in the Republican party.
In 1904 the Republican national COM
mittee and the Republican national
convention settled the quarrel between
the La Toilette Republicans and the
Stalwarts in Wisconsin by throwing the
La Toilette faction out of court. Again
the wise men said that the end Of polit-
ical leader had come. LA TOILETTE
was finished. His race was run. Three
months after the convention, however,
LA TOILETTE was on top. recognised

surely TO assume that ignorance is more widespread

Fixing Cotton Prices.

II we accept the view expressed in
recent advertisement by a prominent
Spectator in cotton, that staple is the
keystone of the arch which upholds all
that in this world makes life worth living.
Mr.. D. j. SULLY, recognized authority
in the field of industry and the realm
of ethics, declares that cotton is "the
emblem Of purity and the foundation Of
morality He asserts that it is cotton
which enables Christianity and civiliza-
ton to move onward and onward, hand
in hand He describes cotton as "the
essential factor Of all industrial life"
and the creator, developer and the foun~
dation of all commercial advancement.
Doubtless from highly altruistic motives
Mr.. SULLY, imbued with an earnest love
for his fellow men, would convince us
all that if there were no such thing as
cotton the world would relapse into
barbarism.
All this may be gospel truth, but We
are more inclined to the view of the
Southern planters, sundry mill owners
and spinners. and fair proportion of
the intelligent public, namely, that the
worlds standard Of morality. as well as
it's economic welfare, would be mate
rally advanced if the incidental and
useless factor of cotton speculation
could be removed entirely from any
and all connection with product which
Mr.. DANIEL J. SULLY says lis and always
will be the supreme factor in molding
the destinies of the world"
From such nonsense as this we turn
to the saner proposals Of the gathering
at Asheville, N. c.. this week. We are
not inclined to credit the attendants at
that meeting with any broad gage mis-
sionary spirit. They are doubtless moved
primarily by consideration Of their
own personal interests. Yet those in
terests involve and may be contributory
to the interests of all. Although not
very clearly defined, it appears that
one purpose OF the Asheville meeting
concerns the institution of system of
cotton distribution under which the
growers and the spinners would be
brought more closely together. Pre-
BuUlHOIy OllC ICoulV Va VIC ClOscT Teld-
tions Of these two groups would be the
squeezing out of speculation and the
Spectator, most desirable consum-
nation.
On the basis OF decade or semi-decade
averages, it is clear that the worlds
cotton crop is sufficient for the worlds
needs, and that the increase in produce
ton 10 duly commensurate with the
worlds increasing requirements. The
yiald varies from year to year. and
market prices, strongly influenced by
the element Of speculation, fuctuate
widely. Thus in February, 1898, up
land middling cotton sold at sic cents
per pound. Six years later, in February,
1904, the same staple sold at 1871 cents.
The prices Of finished products are not
quickly responsive to the variations in

by tho national committee and more
firmly intrenched than ever before. He
was reelected Governor, and six months
later he had been chosen United States
Senator, to succeed an eminent Stall
wart, one Of those who defeated him IN
national committee and national con-
vention. The State Legislature enacted
the laws for which he fought, and the
Stalwarts were Of less account than the
Democratic minority In Wisconsin.
In 1904 the Republican national COM
mittee also decided, though not formally,
that under no circumstances would it
accept the candidate for It's chairman
ship whose election was urged by a
gentleman now residing at Oyster Bay.
Chicago, the city in which the committee
met, was full Of talk about what the COM
mitteemen intended to do to thwart the
gentleman now at Oyster Bay. What
they did do was to take tho candidate
named by him and elect that candidate
unanimously.
Various candidates for the Republican
nomination for President are greatly
disturbed over the prospective attitude
Of the Republican national committee
toward their highly creditable aspira-
tions for public honors. A little study
Of the records ought to convince these
anxious Statesmen that perhaps the
committee is hardly as potent and power
full an influence In shaping the destiny
OF the nation as they have imagined.
