years before | began to perceive any

that | was becoming very nervous,

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised az
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dalton. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
Giction, good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to. contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditors office, has tabulated the list of
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

Alcohol Light.

Wood alcohol is coming into quite
general use for lighting in France and
Germany, where it is as inexpensive as
kerosene. The alcohol is led to spe-
cial burner by a wick, which does not
require trimming. and with a small
Welsbach mantle in slender glass
chimney, a smokeless and steady light
of forty-fiye candle power is produced.
This very brilliant light can be regu-
lated perfectly and is quite odorless.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like piay-
ing game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the
ruin of city, of a great manufactur-
ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
ton of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 20
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been a matter of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta-
ton rates in the world.

NEW PRIMARY LAW.

Judge Il. j. Herman, chairman
of the committee appointed at the
last session Of the General Assemb-
ly to draw up a primary election
law and submit it to the legislature
at the next session, has just re-
turned to Baton Rouge from sum-
mer sojourn in the Northern states
and in Canada. He announced that
he will in few days issue call
for a meeting Of the committee in
New Orleans.
Judge Herman will at once get in
correspondence with the members
of the committee, in order that a
date convenient to all may be de-
cided upon.
Several rough drafts of pri-
mary election law have been drawn.
These drafts will be considered at
the meeting Of the committee to be
held in the near future. Several
meetings will probably be held be-
fore the primary election law is
finally perfected, and made ready
for submission to the legislature
at its meeting in May.-Baton

right to lower rates on account of
water grades.
but let the government once con-
troll the rates and all this would be
changed. The port of New Orleans
and the South would at once be de-
prived of a great part Of their right
ful traffic, for with government con-
troll and the inevitable mileage rate
that is, rates based strictly On distance
the factors which have made for
the commerce and development of this
section would be menaced The South
is entitled to recognition of its right
full claims for consideration and CO.
operative development at the hands Of
the railroads, and this recognition it
to-day receives. But such considera-
tion would vanish with Federal con-
troll Of rates and the ensuing sectional
jealousies.
After the war and the abolish
ment Of slavery, when this section, in
its industrial struggle with tho north,
had to begin again it's campaign for
commercial supremacy, sectional feel
ing kept Northern capital from the
South for purposes of development.
Now, after forty years, the South is
again coming to her owr and railroad
construction is greater in this section
to-day than in any other part Of the
Union, simply because we are striy-
ing to gain our rightful advantages
from natural factors Of cheap trans
portation.
Federal control Of railroad rates
with the mileage basis which would
surely follow, would mean for the
South, first, surrender Of all those
natural advantages which we now en-
joy, and, second, return to strife
with the North in any body which
might control these rates. According
to all my study Of natural and politi-
cal economy preponderance OF pow il
has always gone hand in hand with
preponderance Of wealth and popula-
ton, 50 that any Federal rate max ing
body. through the greater wealth and
power Of the North, would, in its

which contributed to the growth OF
New Orleans before the war enter
just as largely into the question to-
day. New Orleans, as the greatest
port Of the South, continues to enjoy
the benefit of cheap transportation
arising from natural causes and water
grades. All the railroads entering
here reach the city with practically a
water grade. There are no mountains
to cross and since freight can be
moved more cheaply on the level than
over mountains or eh grades it
stands to reason New Orleans
and the South shG Id continue to en-
JOY lower rates in the form Of the ex-
listing differentials than do points
euui distant from the west and north
west which can be reached only
through more expensive hauls over
heavy grades. Under present condi-
tions the commerce Of the Mississippi
Valley naturally comes to New Or
leans, since the railroads recognize its

NUMBER IS
FIFTEEN CENTS THE SLOGAN.

The two most reliable sources OF
crop information being practically
the same and both estimating the
yield about ten million, and in ad-
dition to this the preponderance OF
all crop reports from private sour
ces being IN favor of short yield,
it is indisputable that the few high
estimate reports are made to mis-
lead the people and hammer down
the market for selfish purposes. |
have been in the East for the past
ten days investigating Spinner's
supplies of raw cotton and jobber's
supplies of cotton goods.
Careful inquiry reveals the i'm
portant fact that spinnerS both in
America and Europe are short Of
spot cotton and that jobbers are
unable TO secure their goods owing
to the unprecedented demand for
cotton fabrics in all parts Of the
world. Nearly half this crop has
been sold around ten cents If bal
ance is held for fifteen cents, the
average price to the mills at inte-
rior points would be only IL cents.
Not another bale should be Of
fered in the market for less than
fifteen cents.
Cotton goods are abnormally high
and mills have sold ahead for many
months and they must have the
staple.
The Southern Cotton Association
now calls upon the entire people of
the South to demand Is cents for
the remainder Of this crop.
1t calls upon the bankers to assist
in financing all those who have
cotton to hold and who need assist
ance.
1t calls upon all the holders Of
spot cotton to sign the pledges now
being sent out demanding fifteen
cents and that no cotton be sold for
less price.
Cotton is no longer cheap, it is
the most valuable agricultural pro-
duct in the world to-day and the
South holds it's complete monopoly.
Tie up your cotton and refuse to
sacrifice the staple at present low
prices. The Association wishes to
secure pledges for at least three
million bales at once, on the fifteen
cent basis, and when this becomes
known to the consuming world,
prices will rapidly advance and
great victory for the cotton grow
ers of the South will be won.
The Association will now make
the most active campaign in its
existence for higher prices, and
earnestly asks the cooperative
support of all other organizations,
business interests, and the people
who hold the balance of this crop.
We can get it in 60 or 80 days,
by fixed determination not to sell
for less. Send all pledges prompt
ly to
