The charges made by Secretary
Of the Cotton Associa-
ton parties Ia the cotton busi-
ness in New York were receiving
information as to the government
bureau report before it was made
public have been fully proven
and Assistant Statistician Holmes
dismissed from the service as
the guilty party. It was an easy
matter for the New York broker
to get the information. He could
make money by having it and
the party on the inside could make
money by letting him have it,
so a trade was easily made. The
disclosures are not a great sur
prise to the public. It has been
a noticeable fact for some time
that New York traders were on
the right side when the change
in the market brought about by
the report made by the govern
ment, took place. At this end
of the line the trade was not so
fortunate; he did not have a
cinch when he put his money up,
but in most cases was an easy
victim to the rascals manipulating
the market with the aid of gov
eminent officials. Many of the
most reliable cotton men oppose
the issuance Of an estimate by
the government and the press of
the country is beginning to fight
against it. No good has come to
the cotton business from it ano
the department scandal in con.
nection with it should cause its
abandonment.

The present price of cotton
furnishes a clear demonstration
that a short crop will tend to adj
vance prices. At the opening
of the season the Southern Cot
ton Association was organized
with the view of reducing the
acreagefor the purpose OF saving
the cotton producer from the
result of having two large crops
following each other. The orga-
nization was Instrumental to
some degree in inducing the
farmers to cut down the ac-
reage, but the weather came IN
and completed the job already
begun. Now, we can readily
draw a most valuable lesson from
the conditions now prevailing.
The purpose and objects OF the
Cotton Association were with the
best intention and for the protec-
ton Of the farmer. A reduction
of acreage through organization
would practically have brought
about the same advance in the
price of cotton that has come
from bad crops. The efforts OF
the Cotton Association met With
more success than has been ac-
corded Il andsthe association IS en-
titled in a measure to the present
rise.

Where The South Leads.

No one section of this country
has a monopoly of civic virture
but there is some foundation for
the claim of a Southern temper.
airy that the average Of official
morality is higher in Southern
cities than the Northern num-
cipalities.
At least the South has had no
such scandals as those which
have rendered Minneapolis and
Philadelphia notorious. st. Louis
has a record which is not sweet
in the n~ostrils, but st. Louis is
more of a Northern than a South
ern city. The South has a pref
ty good record in this respect.
We may go even further than
Southern newspaper referred to
and admit that the South can
afford to challenge comparison
in the matter of state legislatures
also. The scandals in these bodies
are relatively few in the Southern
states, and so far as recollection
may be relied upon. there has
been no talk of venality in the
choice of United States senators
in the South since reconstruction
days. It is hardly necessary to
say that so much cannot be as
serted of a good many Northern
states.
It may be said, in short, that
the idea of personal integrity is a
influence in Southern
official life. It is an influence
of the law and this is true in the
private as well as the public life
of the South. When the point of
honor is raised the law receives
scant consideration.
Thus the same influence which
tends to raise the standard of
Southern official morality also
tends toward disregard Of law
in matters where personal dlsad-
vantages as well as advantages.
It may be conceded, however
that the South has the advantage
of some sections of the North
in the matter of freedom from
official scandals as it has Of all
sections of the North in the
same c~ourtesies and p~oliteness
of life which we in the North
are too busy apparently, to cul-
tivate. Chicago Chronicle.

Judge Mcdonald of the Coast
District announces that he will
hereafter impose a Jail sentence
in all cases of conviction for
carrying concealed weapons. The
practice of carrying concealed
weapons is the prime cause of
much of the rimeo of the day. The
law prescribes certain conditions
under which a man may go armed
and when he is caught armed with
out a good and lawful excuse he
should be put on the country
farm and kept there until he
gets a little common sense in his
head. Pistol toting should be
severly punished; it is a useless
and painful practice.

The Increase Of Homicides

VI llIlllldl OLdIlNGlNo S0CAAOAN w
during the past twenty years
reveals the fact that homicides
have increased to an alarming
extent while the punishment Of
the guilty has not kept pace with
the increase of violation of both
human and devine law. That
the courts should be hedged about
with restrictions which stand in
the way of convicting and me
ting out just punishment to the
guilty should be deplored by every
one who is opposed to the wan
ton taking of human life. But,
it is not always the technicalities
of the law that turns the guilty
loose. The juries fall far short
of their duty and wholly disre-
gard their oaths in many in
stances, and many a red-handed
murderer, as guilty as the gull
test, goes forth to STAY again
if he be so inclined, simply be-
cause the juries lack the back
bone to say he is guilty. So, in
charging failures to the courts
it should be understood that the
juries are. to blame for turning
loose in many instances those
who are guilty without the shad-
ow of doubt. In speaking along
this line Secretary of War Taft
recently drew the following COM
parison between the enforcement
of the laws against murder now
and twenty years ago.
He says: "The institution of
trial by jury has come to be.re-
garded as a fetch to such an ex-
tent that state legislatures have
exalted the power of the court in
hearing of criminal cases. The
function of the judge is limited
to that of the moderator in a
religious assembly. The counsel
for the defense, relying on
the diminished power of the
court, creates by dramatic art
and by harping on the import
ance of unimportant details, a
false atmosphere in the court
room which the Judge is power
less to dispel, and under the
hypnotic influence of which the
counsel is able to lead the jurors
to vote as jurors for a verdict
which after all the excitement
of the trial has passed away they
are unable to support as men.
And what has been the re-
suit? Since 1885, in the United
States, there have been 131, 951
murders and homicides, and there
have been 1926 executions. In
1885the number of murders was
1908. In 1904 it had increased to
8,482. The total number of execu-
tons in 1885 was 108. In 1904 the
number was 116. This startling
increase in the number of murders
and homicides as compared with
the number of executions tells
the story.

platform in gorgeous robes. 1t was

conductor could give out nothing tan.
gible about this strange passenger,
who occupied complete section of a

His appearance on the platform set
the people there agog with wonder.
He was tall, dark, with straight black
hair. Big rings hung from his ears,
and turban encircled his head, the
many folds Of which made broad
shade for his eyes. A long Oriental
robe covered pair Of American trou.
sers and these were his only conces.

man conductor, read to San Fran
cisco. The Oriental-What-Is-It gazed
with naughty disdain on the curious
ones and replied to all queries as tc
who and why he was, with few
snaps of his fingers. He even made q
face at the reporter who essayed tc
learn his pedigree, etc, and grinning
showed set of hideous looking teeth
which were sufficient to cause the lat
ter to take to the tall and uncut.
