Cotton During July.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
printed in It's issue of July 81 re-
ports from correspondents through
ont tie cotton belt in which a COM
prehensive history of the cotton
crop during last month was given.
The service rendered by the Times
Democrat was particularly timely
and useful by reason of the uncer-
tainties occasioned in the public
mind by the trouble in the Stats
teal Bureau at Washington. Re
viewing the results of the investi-
cations made by its correspondents,
The Times-Democrat comes to six
interesting conclusions:
81. Taking the belt as a whole
the status is pretty much what it
was at the end of June. The change,
if any. has been in the direction of
slight improvement.
"2. The crop is exceedingly
spotted, sharp deterioration in some
districts being offset by equally
marked betterment in others.
$50. There mas been some further
abandonment of original acreage in
consequence of excessive rainfall"
"a. Generally speaking there is
too much weed and too little fruit.
"5. The boil weevil has made
its appearance in some parts of
Texas, but no important damage
appears to be expected.
$50. The situation may be summed
up by saying that the outlook is
critical. Perfect weather and a
late frost must be had to avert a
disaster. F"
These opinions are not, of course,
final, but they are unquestionably
valuable. The Times-Democrat
seems to have used the utmost pains
in collecting and collating its facts,
and it deserves thanks and appre-
citation at tbe hands of the cotton
Z interests of the country for this con-
tribution to the general understand
ing of situation upon which so
much depends ludustrially.-Ex.

One Cause of Federal Graft

"T here would be less grating IN
the public service if the President
and the members of his cabinet re-
NAMED in Washington long enough to
become familiar with the business of
their repective departments
This somewhat sensational state
meut was made by prominent
member of Congress, who has had a
wide experience in Washington. He
was commenting upon the sudden
spasm of economy on the pa TT of the
Administration and the half-he arted
pursuit of some of the small fry
graf;ers in the agricultural depart
ment and the Government printing
ing office.
'It is not surprising that depart
ment officials, in many instances,
are tempted to take advantage of the
opportunities afforded them to graft,
through the careleSsness of their
superiors,' continued the Congress
man.
"During my long experience in
Congress-" he added, Il do not re-
call any administration where there
has been so much absenteeism from
Washin gton on the part of the high
officials of the Government. In
private business affairs successful
men seldom get out of touch with
their own interests, and they are not
given to unloading too much indie
pendence upon employees, who ale
not supposed to shoulder extra
ordinary responsibility for the mere
love of work.
"Since Congress adjourned last
spring there has scarcely been a day
when the President and all the men,
bers of his Cabinet could be rounded
up at their posts of duty. 1t is all
very well for the President and his
Cabinet to visit, officially, all sec
tons IF the country at intervals to
better acquaint themselves with the
wishes and desires of the people
they are supposed to represent.
There would be no ground for com
plaint if it enued there, but the pres
ent administrator seems to be CT a
rowing nature, so that to-day there
are not more than three members of
the Cabinet in Washington, and two
of Secretary Shaw and At
torney General Moody-have just re-
turned from pleasure trip; which
had little to do with the public bus
