CLEAN OUT CROP BUREAU.

Assistant Secretary of Agricul- ture Willet N. Hays has taken hold of the affairs of the bureau of statistics, with instructions from Secretary Wilson approved by President Roosevelt, to cleanse the bureau of the stigma left by the cotton leak scandal. His author 5ty Is unlimited. He has been told that he may have whatever cler- cial force he needs and if there are any employees whose services he thinks should be dispensed with they will be discharged. It is re- garded as extremely likely there will be complete reorganization of the force employed in the sta tistical department as we'll as q thorough revision of the orders governing the monthly crop re- ports, the latter having already been outlined in circular issued by Secretary Wilson. In that re- gard Secretary Wilson said that hereafter if there are accusations against the integrity of the bureau 1t must be directed against him self or Assistant Secretary Hays, ss he has no intention of allowing any other person access to infor- mation that might be used in stock iohbing.

ARRESTED IN CALIFORNIA
D. P. Terry, Absconding Bank Pres ident From This State Will be
 Brought Back for Trial.

D. F. Terry, formerly president of the Howard County bank at Nashville, who absconded two years ago after having embedded the funds of his bank, has been captured at Los Angeles, Cali, and will be brought back to Ark ansas for trial.
 Terry was we'll known through out Arkansas and his dedication and flight caused quite q sensation. 1t is supposed that he went to Mexico and located somewhere in the vicinity of Monterey.
 Terry was about 40 years of age and had d family He k said to have taken his family with him when the bank over which he pre- sided became crippled.
 The capture of Terry in Califor- mia two years after his flight from Arkansas is regarded as evidence of the effectiveness of the meth ods of detection employed in cases of this kind.
 When Terry disappeared from Nashville in April, 1903, the de- positors of the Howard County bank at that place, charging Ter ry with wreckmg the institution, met and offered 8 reward of S50s for the arrest of Terry.

TWELVE CTS FOR COTTON
Secretary of Southern Cotton Assoeia- tion Says Cotton Will Sell for
 12 cts This Fall.

Richard Cheatham. secretary of the Southern Cotton Growers As sociation, says there are abundant reasons for believing that the cot ton crop of this year will aggre- gate less than ten million bales. This opinion, he says, lis bas- ed upon several facts. In the first place the crop was planted at least three weeks late, owing to adverse climatic conditions. Sc much rain had fallen in many To- caIitie sthat 1t was impossible to make the usual start. Excessive : rainfall also gave the grass. and weeds unusual opportunity and | good many fields had to be aban- doned since 1t was impracticable to clean them.
 It must also be remembered that vigorous campaign for the reduction of the acreage had been made, and over the entire South there must have been reduction this season of at least Is per cent in the lands planted in cotton.
 The United States government reports put the reduction at II per , cent, and even accepting these fig- ures, one can see how short this years production will be compar- ed with last years yield of l3, 900, OO0 bales.
 As the worlds needs amount to fully 1000, ,O00 bales the short. age in sight is bound to send ur the price of raw material to at least twelve cents a pound.
 Another reason, and an inn portant one, for decidedly short crop, k that there k not in the Southern cotton belt q supply ot labor adequate for the working oi a big yield.
 Everybody knows that the blacks have been going away from the farms to the towns in droves, and that they can no longer be re- lied on for agricultural service. My prediction is that We shall cer- tainly see l2-cent cotton, if it does not go even highnr, for the law ot supply and demand K memorable, and what the world needs and can't get enough of k bound to be of enhanced value.

JONATHAN SLAUSON

1t is fitting and proper that the
earthly remains of Jonathan Slauson
should lie in state at the city hall and
that every opportunity be given the
public to pay a tribute of respect to
his memory. Mr.. Slauson's splendid
philanthropy, his public spirit and his
loyalty to Southern California made
of him conspicuous figure in Los
Angeles for many years. He was de-
voted to the welfare of this city and
gave to the municipality his best
thought and effort. He refused no
tasks assigned to him by the general
interests and he at all times eXerted
himself to make of Los Angeles the
beauty spot of the world. His large
heart and generous nature gave him
sympathy for the poor, the needy and
the distressed, so that his purse was
ever open to meet the wants of the
suffering. Such a man would be missed
from any community, and to Los An
geles his death is a source of particu-
lar sorrow and regret

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PAYS LOVING TRIBUTE

At special meeting yesterday of the
board of directors of the chamber of
commerce, called for the purpose of
adopting resolutions on the death of ex-
President Slauson. the following were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, In the death of J. S.
Slauson the city of Los Angeles rightly
mourns the loss of one of it's most use
full and honored citizens. Broad and
inclusive, both by instinct and in prin-
ciple, few citizens have brought them
selves into closer touch with all sides
and phases of the journal life. social,
public and municipal than our departed
friend.
"In the chamber of commerce he has
for many years rendered sturdy service
for the general good. His record shows
that he Joined the chamber in 1894;
served as director in 1895, as second vice
president in 1896 and 1897, as first vice
president 1897 to 1S99 as president in
1900 and again as director i'm 1901 and
1902, besides serving as chairman OF
several important committees.
"Pre-eminent among this varied pub

mid-winter fair at San Francisco, and
indeed all the expositions occurring dur

TAKING STOCK

Just at this, the closing season Of the
year, the shrewd business man has a
habit Of taking stock" lie has an in
ventory made of every article in his
place. figures its cost, allows a certain
rate for depreciation or shrinkage, esti-
mates his expense, strikes o balance
and closes his accounts. Then, having
ascertained his exact standing, he is
prepared to plan for the coming year.
He knows where and how he has
gained; he sees where and how he has
lost. This move, he decides, was n
wise one; that was foolish or wrong
one Here, he could have retrenched to
advantage; there, he was conservative
where boldness was demanded. And
thus he scrutinizes his years career,
and blocks out on It's basis that of the
one ahead,
It behooves everyone. at certain times
In his life to take stock Of his mental
and moral worth. No better opportun-
ity affords than the coming Of Il new
year. Then the calendar changes and
openings appear for revisions and starts
anew. Like the wise tradesman, the
keen, shrewd person at this season sits
him calmly down and takes stock of
his affairs of the mind and the heart,
strikes his balance and ascertains his
status. Quietly and in seclusion, he
opens up his ledger OF life, and on its
pages, filled with the accounts of deeds
good and bad. OF thoughts fine and low,
of actions high and mean, he draws his
lines, makes his fastenings, sets down
his results, and in the grand total of
profits and losses ascertains wherein he
Is strong, that he may build on that
strength, and wherein he is weak, that
he may bolster up his weaknesses.
And then, having patiently figured
out his status, the wise man plans out
the changes in his life's policy which
will tend to it's betterment. Not all
not even many-of these will he be able
to carry out, but the advance in each
one will help that much toward the bet
ter balance next time. Every good
thought and deed and act will go to the
credit side of the ledger, and thus the
deficit Of omissions and the loss of op-
portunities will be in a measure offset.
So that, year hence, the real true,
strong man will show a greater credit
balance, despite untoward failures, and
that after all, is the real test
This is the best season for balanc-
character. Within the next two or
three days is the time in which to do
it. BE wise-close the accounts for this
year and start afresh on the new one.

RUSSIA MAKING HISTORY

Present indications are that the
revolution" in Russia is only revolt;
that one by one the disturbances will
be crushed out that the bulk of the
army will stand by the czar and that
in the end at least sembance of peace
will be restored. Not without frightful
loss in blood and treasure will this be
accomplished, but that seemingly will
not worry the government, whose re-
sources are tremendous, and whose
qualms or conscience over slaughter
are nil.
But also, unless present indications
fail, the series of revolts will not have
been in vain. Much has been gained in
the way of betterments by the mass of
the Russian people-doubtless all they
are now ready for A measured suffrage
a constituent assembly, a semblance
Of freedom, possession of the lands,
fewer and lighter taxes and more gen.
eral education are certain results of the
bitter struggle, and perhaps may also
eventuate in the overthrow of bureau

ducal regime, the drawing closer of the
czar and his people and his becoming

yet have no choice Of his rulers; free

when it is convenient. But contrast
what has been won with conditions pre-
ceding, and few countries can boast OF

with so little cost. For only "a year age
