The famous cotton bull, Daniel j.
Sully of New York, spoke before a
large meeting of farmers in Metropoli-
tai Hall yesterday. Mr.. Sully is not a
orator and makes no ~pretensions in
that direction. He is well posted in
M sers pertaining to cotton prOduc-
IT, marketing and manufacturing.
His speech yesterday was short and
very pointed.
What he said nay be summed up in
a few words: Hold your cotton; you
can control the situation and control
prices if you will; the European fed
Grafton of spinners will grind you down
to the lowest price at which you will
sell. Don't let them rob you" Mr..
Sully's remarks are quoted fully in
another part of The Post this morn
ing.
Coming as it does, from a man of
the reputa ton of Mr.. Sully, his ad-
vice will help to strengthen the de-
termination of the farmers to hold
their cotton for a fair price. With the
exception of the knowledge he has
gained by experience there is little in
the advice he gives that has not been
given many times in the editorial col
umns of this paper. Our advice has
been to hold cotton, watch the mark
cts and dispose of the staple judicious-
iy. The cotton farmers of the south,
where eighty per cent. of the worlds
supply is produced, can control the
situation absolutely. with thorough
organization, such as has for the past
year or two been going on.
The farmers are wide awake now
and constantly on the alert. All that
is needed is to keep it up for them
to know and control their affairs like
the bears know and control theirs.
We have often said that the interests
of the producer and manufacturer are
mutual, in that it is best for both for
the price to be fixed and staple. Wide
fluctuations in money values Of any
commodity are dangerous to any bus
mess enterprise handling that COM
modify and there is no industry per-
haps in which this is nearer the truth
than in the cotton industry.-Ral-

REGULATION REACHES $3.50. 900
of N. C. DOugherty of the
Peoria School Board.

Peoria. Ills. October In. c.
Dougherty realized $4,000 in three
years by using the name of A H. An
drews & Co. of Chicago. This fact de-
veloped before the grand jury today
when r. J.. Merle secretary Of the
testified before the grand
jury. While the business done by the
school board with the firm had been
comparatively limited. for two years
or more Mr.. Dougherty's use Of the
firm name in forging checks n
school scrip had been almost unlim-
tied.
In n case he forged a check for
s1.57. In another case there was a bit
of unconscious humor, the name of
s'F. Dupe & Co." beir~ forged. The
most fantastic names were used by
Dougherty. and he seems to have used
no system whatever. The latest esti-
mate placed ON populations by means
of the padded pay rolls places the
amount at ~S25O.000.

RELIEF FOR THE DYING
Miss Hall Favors Legalixing the Adj
ministration OF Anaesthetics TO Per-
sons Dying I'm Agony.

PHILADELPHIA October 1i.-Miss Anne
S. Hall. OF Cincinnati. startled the
American Humane Association today
by proposing the adoption Of a resolu-
ton favoring legalizing the admins
tration of anacsthetics to persons dy-
ing in agony. Miss Hall said there
were often incidents In time OF rail-
way wrecks when trainmen and pas-
sengers were so injured that their II res
could not possibly be saved. In such
cases, Miss Hall thought 1t ought to
be permissible to administer aneastnet-
les to relieve their sufferings. She also
favored the use Of anaesthetics when
persons were dying Of incurable dis
eases. in which they suffered agony.
In the discussion one woman said that
she would not hesitate to shoot a per-
son who might be dying In agony in
a railroad wreck. but she did not think
laws should be passed comforting upon
any one the right to determine when
any person should die by giving an
anaesthetic. The resolution was ruled
out.
Child labor formed the subject OF a
paper read BY DIR. s. NJ. Lindsay. OF
this city. secretary of the national
child labor committee. Mr.. Lindsay
referred particularly to the indiffec-
enee to the child labor laws In the
south.

PROFESSORS BRUCE CRAVEN
Contends That the Spirit Of Infldelity
Prevails I'm An Our Educational IN
stifufions.

superintendent Bruce Craven. Of the
MorgantDn Graded schools. is attract
Ing a great deal Of attention by his
contention that the spirit OF inTIdelity
prevails To an alarming degree In all
our educational institutions Here are
some specific instances which he ed-
duces 10 show the general trufhfulness
Of his allegations:
1. Boys convicted before the facul-
u OF gambling We're given a .presiden-
tial lecture" which To them meant:
Hereafter be more careful about get
ting caught"
, There is a college graduate in
North Carolina who is a professed
pantheist and who says he went TO
college a Christian and that in four
years the faith Of his fathers fell be-
fore the teachings of a single profess
sor. While his religion was changing,
many other seeds were sown and are
bearing today fruit of which we know
not.
3. There are professed infidels,
guiding the Undertaking i'm our state
today.
1. There are hundreds of teachers
so indifferent TO c~onsecrated godliness
as TO daily impress the students with
the belief that philosophy and litera-
ture and kindred things are the only
gods.
5. There is a boy who went to col
lege a Christian and from a Christian
family, who knew not the allurements
of Wine and associated vices. At col
1ege he became so dissipated as to lose
his mind and character, and he told
me in his asylum cell that he would
not have lost himself and the hopes of
his life if there had been any spiritual
guidance or restraint when he was first
subjected to the novel temptations.
This happened at a 'relif us college"

in the state for religious -fuence, but
like all others it depends tor much on
the christian atmosphere" resulting
from Il pious lives of men too busy
to lend a helping hand to pull a Pill
grim from the slough of despond.
There is certainly food for some
very serious thought in what Profess
sor Craven charges. And it seems to

Proverbs of the Chinese.

The verbal wisdom of the Chinese
has become proverbial. and, %appropri-
ately enough. it shows itself promi-
nently in their proverbs. Many OF
these have already been translated into
English. but here are a few more. from
a collection by Herr Bruno Navarro,
published in Heidelberg, which may be
welcome:

ers before sailing from Colon for New

tract awarded TO J. E. Markell of Oma-
