WOOL AND COTTON.
Southern Farmers Should Have Con.
troll Of Both Products.

troll or 6otn Froouctss
An Alabama farmer, Col. ]. B.
lKillebrew, thinks that it Is high time
for the southern farmer to devote time
and attention to wool raising. He
thinks that increased wealth and re-
duced labor will come with the sub
stitution Of wool, to a certain extent,
for cotton.
He does not say that wool should
supplant cotton, because to do that
does not appear possible. However.
there is much in his observations,
printed in the Southern Farm Maga-
zine, to engage the attention OF
thoughtful men Of the south. He
says:
Wool and cotton are the two great
est textile products Of the world and
give employment In their manufac-
ture to more people. Every human
being In the civilized and in most Of
the savage countries, wears fabrics
woven from one or both Of these pro-
ducts Of nature. They are the foun-
dations for the most extensive and
useful manufactures of the earth,
and there is no reason why the south
should not produce wool enough to
keep the growth of the manufacture
of this important staple on a par with
the manufacture of cotton. The rich
grazing areas that abound on the SUM-
ny slopes of the Allegheny mountains,
which pass on down from West Vir-
ginia- through Kentucky, Virginia,
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama; the
extensive plains in Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana that grow
Bermuda grass and the broad prairies
of Texas, where the mesquit. buffalo,
Texas bluegrass and many forage
plants grow in unrivaled luxuriance,
not to mention the bluegrass regions
of Kentucky and Tennessee. offer
such advantages for sheep husban-
dry that no other country can sur
pass. If equal them, in these manifest
advantages for the fiockmaster. 1t
would be a reflection upon the intelli-
gence Of the southern people to doubt
that in course Of time fiocks Of sheep
will be seen in greatly increased num-
bers roaming over these rich pastures
and will be a source Of profit wherever
grasses grow and waters flow. This
Is a resource that would make the
heart of the planters glad with new
property. Nor should they engage in
sheep husbandry to the exclusion of
the cotton and other crops. In fact.
one supplements the other.

SQUIRRELS mt the white House.

Squirrels are of comparatively re-
cent date in the White House grounds.
They first began making their homes
there four or five years ago. Across
Pennsylvania avenue in Lafayette
park the squirrels have become so
tame that they will get within grasp
ing distance The same is true of the
capitol grounds, where the little ami
mails are often fed by visitors and
where they have learned to be angry
IL visitor does not present them with
something that is appetizlng. Only
last summer visitor was badly bitten
on the neck, ears and face by an angry
gray squirrel in the capitol grounds.
This visitor had teased the squirrel by
pretending to have some food and had
then tried to capture 1t. When he
turned around to walk away the SPUR
rel dashed upon his back and bit him
q number of times.

In the frequency and abundance of spots

approach to periodicity. At intervals whose
average length is eleven years climaxes are
reached, after which a subsistence to appar-

TIE HOOKER VERDICT.

Justice Warren b. Hooker won technical
victory yesterday when the Assembly failed to
| cast a two-thirds vote for the resolution re-
moving him from office. hundred votes were
necessary and only 76 were given against him.
Legally the charges of unfitness presented have
failed, and Justice Hooker can fill out his term
without fear of further legislative censure or
prosecution. He still has eight years and
half to serve, and it now rests with him to de-
termine whether, after the unsparing scrutiny
to which his acts have been submitted and the
Assemblys rather dubious verdict on those
acts he continue TO administer justice in
our courts either to his own satisfaction or TO
the satisfaction of the general public
We have more than once said that the charges
brought against Justice Hooker would have ex-
cited little or no comment forty years ago. when
the spoils system in full force and pracd-
caIly every politician was-and thought he had
to be-a spokesman. 1t was the ex-Congress-
mans misfortune to have applied in his office
brokerage transactions certain standards or
conduct which we have happily begun to con-
slider out of date His chief fault was In I'M
dervaluing the forces which have lifted the
public service to a cleaner and higher level,
and what prejudiced him most in public opin-
ion was the insensibility he has shown to the
real gravamen of the accusations against him.
We have never held that Justice Hooker COM
tude AS a judge his record has been in no
wise assaiIed and his associates on the bench
have freely testified to his judicial integrity
and capacity. 1t is agreeable to know that II
he elects to remain a judge the State will be
officially we'll served. We are as willing as
any of his apolOgsts to distinguish between
what he has done as a judge and what he has
done as a politician. The legislature was not
asked in fact to remove him for anything he
did or failed to do while sitting as a court.
1t was merely requested TO pass sentence on
his personal qualificatons-tO decide whether
or not his methods and practices as politician
had not untitled him to wear the judicial err
mine.
On this point the Assemblys verdict is far
from satisfying. Justice Hooker is acquitted.
1t can hardly be said, however, that he is vim
dicated. An actual majority in the lower house
voted for his removal. More than half of the
members of the Assembly-n spite of infiu-
ences which must have strongly inclined them
to lenency and charity-have gone on record
as believing that he is morally disqualified to
hold his office. We do not doubt that more than
in that opinion. Justice Hooker has lost the
confidence of the public. and in the face of the
Assembly's vote-technicay abortve though it
is-t is hard to see how he can expect to
enjoy the respect and honor which should at
tach to any one discharging high judicial func-
tions.
A Judge to do his work judge, should
be above reproach-above the shadow of sus-
picion of personal unfftness Justice Hooker's
record is still darkened by that shadow.

"THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT"

dhe conference Of colored men Just held at
Niagara Falls, under the inspiration Of Professor
W. E. B. Dubois, of Atlanta University. has
organized for protracted agitation and issued
m address which reflects In large measure the
well known views and somewhat impatient
spirit OF Professor Dubois. That highly edu-
Gated and brilliant man. who might be one Of
the greatest Of constructive forces for the ad-
vancement Of his race, seems TO be hindered by
personal and racial self-consciousness In
$Tbe Souls Of Black Folk" we are made to feel
that he is thinking more Of the trick fate played
on him 10 not making him a white man than of

dipons that surround them and grow to be
proud Of being black men. This representative
ness narrOws his view and prevents him from

The address reflects that temperament. 1t is

ceptions its demands for the negro are no more
than in abstract justice and with strict logic he

confront them. The address. while protesting

4 LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION.

Governor Higginss determination TO let the
legislature undertake an investigation of the
life insurance business of the State if it should
see fit TO do so. has caused both surprise and
qualification. The Governors decision may not
have been recently reached, but it certainly has
the appearance of suddenness; for many uncOn-
tradicted statements had led TO the belief that
he saw sufficient reason for authorizing a
consideration of the subject Of insurance at fhe
extra session. There is however, in any case,
inconsistency in the Governors action. He
has not been convinced heretofore. nor does he
now seem to be convinced that a legislative in
vestigation in addition to the departments in
quiry and the expected proceedings in court is
required to put the legislature in possession of
the information required for a judicious revision
of the insurance law. He very properly con-
cluded, however, that the legislature ought 10
be enabled to decide that question for itself. 1t
is question which the legislature decided at
once and without difficulty, and we may hope
that in the interval before the regular session a
solid basis for wise action will be provided
The quality of legislative Investigations varies
widely and this State has had close acquaint-
ance with all varieties. In the present instance
the result may show that the Governor was not
mistaken in his belief that the labors of joint
committee were not Indispensable. But even if
that should prove to be the fact, it would not

into account at this time. There is. beyond
doubt, very strong and prevalent desire for
thorOughgOing scrutiny of the insurance COM
panies by legislative authority, and a refusal
TO yield TO the demand would have been re-
sented. Moreover, it is a fact that the Insur-
ance Department is not perfectly equipped for
the work which it has been carrying on of late,
and il is not safe to assume that the courts will
supply, within the next few months. the de-
fciencies which Superintendent Hendricks con-
cedes. In order TO act wisely the legislature
must possess complete knowledge, which it will
obtain if the joint committee does its full duty
without fear favor.
great responsibility rests upon the joint
committee, and 1t will be held to a strict ac-
count 1t possesses virtually unlimited power
for the purposes of its inquisition. To use that
power, to whatever extent circumstances may
require, without abusing ii is a grave and deli
cate task. There is no doubt in any quarter
that the Insurance law needs TO be amended In
the interest of policyhOlders and the general
public. and the preliminary process which the
legislature has ordered will be regarded with
satisfaction, though not without solicitude

THE zEMsTTo CONGRESS-.

The ZemStvO Congress commands ana well
deserves our admiration by both its courage
and it's discretion. 1t displays courage of
high order In meeting in spite of oppressive pO-
lice prohibition and in doing so publicly, in the
presence of the Chief Of Police and his aids.
There is no attempt at cOncealment- The dele
gates are even eager TO reveal their names to the
police and 10 assume the fullest responsibility
for their acts. That is the course of men who
are thoroughly in earnest who have the cour-
age of their convictions and who have counted
and are willing TO pay the cost OF their pro-
ceedings
Their discretion is however, equal to their
vaIor There is no violence of act or of speech.
There is no wanton defiance of authority There
are no illegal acts but only manly inSistence
upon legal rights against caprcious and arbi-
trary repression. The spirit is not that of the
anarchist but rather that of John Hampden,
and the contemplation of it inspires lis with re
newed and Increased hope for the future of the
Russian people. Men who do as these delegates
are doing deserve to attain their ends.
Admirably discreet, too, is their attitude tow
ard the Bouligan scheme of a national assem-
bly,. They criticse If. They point out its de-
plorable nadequacies Nevert S,ss they rec
ognize its good features. they perceive that it's
adoption would mark long and rreversibIe
step forward, and they are not expect
ing all things in an hour" they are willing to
make the best of H. If it is the best they can at
present get. That too, is the spirit of patriots
and Of statesmen and we cannot doubt that i'm
the end it win prevail.
We shall watch with interest to see what the
police will do about it. They have taken the
names Of the delegates and have prepared sum
monses or warrants for their arrest That they
VIII serve the warrants seems incredible. Some
