CUTTING THE ACREAGE.

The falling off in the sale of fertill-
zers indicates thatthe planters intend
to carry out to the letter the program
laid down in the recent New Orleans
convention, ard emphasized by later
manifestoes of the officials of the
Southern Cotton Association, with
regard to a cut in acreage.
The lightest sales in many years
are reported. The decrease in sales
for January of the present. year, it is
learned upon reliable authority, is SO
marked in comparison with the
number of sales in previous years,
that even if the railroads were to be
taxed to their fullest capacity it
would be i'm possible at this date to
deliver the usual amount of ferliti-
to the planters between III 5 and
planting time.
This is a Concrete indication tina,
the Organization of the cotton asset
ton is already bet my fruit, i,
planters haV", Wi h the mosi >n-
Couraging un~all-nilty, grasped iii
essential idea. They tetiiZe thai 20
hold the surplu1cr ep alone for better
prices will moi have the desired Ell
feet upon the market; that along
with the holding movement must g
a cut in acreage if the day is to be
fastened when the control of cotton
shall be vested in the section which
produces it. If there is a surplus of
two million, or three, or four million
bales over the normal annual con
sumption of the world, in the pos
session of the planters at the present
time, a corresponding cut in acreage
must be effected, for the present crop
if the average Of the crops of1904 and
1905 is TO be the same as the average
of the worlds consumption for these
two years. No matter how perfect
the arrangements for holding may
be, holding alone will not bring
profitable prices if there is too much
cotton in the world.
The planters are showing in the
most expressive manner that they
intend to adhere to the program of
the New Orleans convention, and
take the advice of the cotton associa-
ton. If they obey it to the letter
they will work ont their own saliva
walton. Cooperation and good faith
will turn the trick.

AN INDEX OF PROSPERITY.

Railroad earnings generally form
an unfailing index of prosperity or
adversely as the case may be, for
they are quickly affected by favor
able or unfavorable business condi,
tions. In view of this fact, it is
gratifying to note the statement of
fourteen prominent Southern lines
for the last six months of 1904. These
statements furnish, as the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record says, con-
elusive evidence of prevailing pros
perity throughout the field of trans
portation in this section of the coun-
try, and they also indicate a contin-
rance of profit and progress during
the present year.
These statements are from the At
lantic Coast Line, the Southern, the
Georgia Southern and Florida, the
Central of Georgia, the Chesapeake
& Ohio, the Norfolk & Western, the
Louis Vile & Nashville, the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis, the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific, the Alabama Great South
ern, the Illinois Central, the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley, the Mobile
and Ohio and the Kansas City South
ern.
All of these lines report increases
III gross earnings as compared with
the corresponding period of 1908,
al d all but one of them also shows
gains in net earnings, yet in this one
Instance where a profit from opera
ting was not realized the decrease
Was comparatively small and was
doubtless due to expenditure. This
was on the Alabama Great Southern,
part CT the Queen and Crescent route;
yet the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific railway, another por-
tinn of this route, displays gains il
both gross and net. The increases il
nearly every case are of excellent di
mansions, some of them being very
large.
The South is doing well and the
outlook for 1905 is most promising.

LESSONS OF THE WAR.

The lessons of the war Waged by
Japan are by 10 means confined to
victories and remarkable skill and
endurance in a Titanic struggle. We
do not alone have TO study the pre-
pareduess for war, or her early con-
troi of the sea, Or her use of torpedo
boats, or her use of the bayonet and
the night attack on the part of dis
ciplined and fearless troops. All of
these are significant and valuable,
but there is another direction in
which Japan has won imperishable
honor. We refer to the sanitary and
medical work done in her armies.
By careful preparation and by the
use Of modern skill in her army aud
navy Japan has reduced the deaths
from disease and from lack of care to
the wounded to a minimum. Usually
sui deaths far outnumntr the num-
anr E,ila,i III battle. In our war
s. ain fourteen desd from dis
tur ..ery one killed in battle,
.:.s. when the Wrench sent fifteen
th,n~- nd men tt Madagascar in
1891, twenty nine We're killed ir
battle, and seven thousand died
rom disease The japanese have
.e,;uced such losses almost to moth
inc.
Not that thew possess any better
methods or any superior knowledge,
but in their honesty of purpose and
patriotism they apply what they
know with unapproached thorough
ness, care and system. They have
taught the western nations a valu-
BILE lesson.
The truth is, the world has never
seen such patriotism as Japan is
manifesting daily in the war with
Russia.

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESS
SION.

The succession act of 1886, which
superseded the imperfect act of 1892,
is itself very imperfect. It provides
that the Secretary of State shall take
the place OF the Vice President in
succession if the President be dis
qualified, and it provides also for
succession down the cabinet lines in
Ease the Secretary of State shuld drop
out.
So far so good, but the act of 1886
i. imperfect in the fact that it settles
nothing. A member of the cabinet
who becomes President in succession
must convene Congress within twen-
ty days, if it be not in session, and it
becomes the duty of Congress to Or
der a special election to fill the va
cancy..
There p many objections to this
plan. 1t Expresses and perplexes the
people, and it would altogether alter
the presidential order, for the people
shus brought to the polls would elect
q President and Vice President for a
full term of four years. They are
not elected for a less term.
It does not seom to be at all neces-
sary to call a special election in case
of the incapacity of both the Presi-
dent and Vice President. The Sec
rotary of State would be presumably
a ft man, and he would certainly be
a man whose politics would be in
accordance With public sentiment as
expressed at the last presidential
ell Lection.
The entire special election provis-
TO- is q mistake. When a mai is a
candidate for President he should be
one that the people would trust to
name a Secretary Of State who would
make in a contingency an acceptable
President. No one would object, for
example, to the service of John Hay
in case Mr.. Roosevelt should be rem
dered incapable, and there is no rea-
son why a special election should
ever be called for the selection of a
President.

OF BIG B~ATTLESHIPS

The government is building at the
Brooklyn navy yard the battleship
Connecticut, while contractors at
Newport News are building the bat
tleship Louisiana. The two ships are
much alike, and up to the present
time the Connecticut has cost the
experimentation one-third less than
the Louisiana. It may be too early
to say what the final outcome in the
respect of cost will be, but the belief
is that the government can build its
own ships at less cost than it cal get
them at the hands of contrac-
tors.
This would certainly be the case il
the government would build armor
plate mills. II should make armor
plate just as it now makes its big
guns. The price of armor is r.dicu-
lousy exorbitant, and if Con
gress would disregard the lobby and
put up an armor plate mill, it could
build battleships at reasonable prices.
The chief robbery in connection with
battleships is the price of armor, and
the steel trust practically monopo,
Lies its manufacture. The Midvale
company put up an armor plate mill
without mourning a great expendi-
ture, and the government should dc
likewise. 1t must do so if it pro,
poses to build b~attleships at reasona.
BILE prices.
