Arguments Of lawYers.

to urge a lawyer to be brief in his
argument. AS a matter of fact" he
says, "the arguments length general,
ly is its sole reason for existing. BY
the time II is concluded the jury is
likely to have forgotten the evidence"
Mr.. Root tells Of lawyer whom a
Judge advised to be brief. Counsel
replied; How would II be II | con.
fined my argument to these words:
Your honor, my opponent is wrong.
| am right. You are an excellent
Judge"

Ten Cents a Fair Price.

The British cotton spinners say through President McAra that they have no quarrel with American cotton planters. All the former want, says Mir. McAra, Is eight-cent cotton. He seems to expect the New England spin ners to join him in the demand because the cost of the carriage of cotton to the New England mills Is as great as the cost of carriage by sea to Lan- cashire.
 The spinners, whether American or British, will not soon be gratified by return to eight-cent cotton. The grower is not well rewarded when cotton sells at eight cents. In this respect MT. McAra is misinformed. In no season is eight-cent cotton reasonably remu- nerative. Ten-cent cotton leaves a clever margin of profit in the hands of the farmer, but eight-cent cotton does not, and the demand for return to elght-cent cotton cannot be granted.
 It would mean serious reduction in the crop, and the spinners certainly do not desire smaller crops of raw cotton. If the price of cotton could be estab- H.hed at ten cents, the best possible results would be obtained. The farmer would secure a satisfactory profit, and he would proceed to make all the cot ton the world needs, and the spinner would simply base the price of his goods n the price he paid for raw cot ton. Why then should not the price be ten, instead of eight, cents?

 The discovery of the fever germ does not in the least relieve the fever mosquito from the charges preferred against her, for the doctors say;
 "Stegomyia, raised from the egg and fed on normal humans or bananas and some which were not fed at all, but all lowed to bite patients few days after birth, showed in smears made from blood obtained from the stomach the same bodies which we have previously de- scribed as occurring in the blood of yell low fever patients. In mosquitoes exam ined later than nine hours after feeding we could not demonstrate these bodes owing to the partial digestion Of the blood. Mosquitoes raised at the same time fed only on normal individuals and examined at the same intervals of time showed no such bodies. Results of studies on mosquitoes at later periods or infection will be reported later"

Senator Morgan on Ouarantines.

It is plain that federal quarantine for interstate and international pur- poses and a state quarantine for intra- state purposes would be confusing, in- efficient and unnecessary. One set or quarantine officials is enough in any state, and Senator Morgan thinks the best way to reach such re~ult is by joint action, say, among the gulf states to be ratified by congress. This would be a desirable adjustment of the quar- antine problem, within the terms of the federal constitution and the rights of the states.
 It is plain that Senator Morgan pre- fers a federal quarantine to banana quarantine, and his plan for securing joint action in the gulf states against yellow fever or other disease is alike feasible and reasonable. He desires to see the legislature in extra session to consider at least the quarantine and rate problems.
 Alabama and the other gulf states can not afford to be exposed to another visitation of yellow fever-to another course of concealment in the interest of the banana trade-and the remedy lies in an extra session. Beyond all reasonable doubt the fever was brought to this country Dy fruit ships, and its existence in New Orleans among fruit handlers was concealed until conceal ment became no longer possible-until the disease had gained in this country firm foothold. We can not afford to repeat the process. We can not afford to take the chances in this respect of single additional year, and Governor Jelks will no doubt give full considera' ton to Senator Morgan's valuable and timely letter.

Yellow Fever Germ Identified.

The Journal of the American Medi- cal Association, published on Septem- Der 23, contains very interesting re- ports on the microscopical investiga- tions of the physicians of the Charity hospital and the Emergency hospital in New Orleans. The articles are full of scientific terms, but the meaning Is that the germ conveyed by the yellow fever mosquito, with which it inocu- lates human beings, has been found and fully iden.-,.e..
 The discovery of the specific germ will enable any physician to recognize the disease in patient before he has shown any exterior symptoms of it. Heretofore a physician has been com pelled to wait upon the development of the disease in patient, but hereafter a drop of blood placed under micro. scope will tell the story, even before the skin has taken on the hue of jaun- ace.
 The discovery will aid the physi- clans in diagnosing mild cases which occur every summer, and in determin- ing at once what the disease is. Many fife will be saved through the utiliza-
