THE COTTON BOOM.

Students of the cotton mar ket eX-
press amazement at the unparalleled
prospective prosperity of the South
by reason of the peculiar situation
the spinners of the world are placed
in with reference to raw cotton
supplies. The farmer holds, of
the old crop, about l,500, 900
bales, now worth about II cents
per pound. Every ponnd Of the
new crop will bring in the open
market about that much. More
than twelve millions of bales of
the old crop have been sold at an
average of about So cents, Thus
the cotton producers aud the South
ern interest dependent upon them
are now in fair way to enjoy a
period Of the greatest prosperity
they have ever had, for the world
will need every bale of the old sur
plus and every bale of the new crop
to meet the unprecedented demand
for manufactured goods. At least
for the time being, the day offarm
mortgages in the South has passed,
and one year from to-day the South
ern farmer who hasn't a snug sum
in the bank and all debts paid will
be singularly alone, and except in
very rare instances, without an ex-
cuses other than mismaEagement.
The responsible agents are the
excellent trade conditions of the
world; continuous bad weather
which has prevented another glgan.
tic crop, and the holding of cotton
by the farmer and thus preventing
the speculator from controlling the
markets.
Unquestionably, the South as 9
whole is on the eve of great pros.

of New York children go to school
underfed This statement caused aston
ishment and doubt in some quarters.
But contend that any trained physician
who will note the very large percentage
Of anemic faces among the children as
they issue from the public scho0lhouses of
this city will agree with me that Mr.
Hunters estimate of 10000 underfed
children is most likely far below the mark.
The Children's Aid Society and other
charitable organization maintain num-
ber of industrial schools for poor children
in this city. The total daily average of
children attending these schools is l0,707.
Inspector Lecktrecker recently made a
thorough investigation into the condition
of these children. Mt. Leektrecker's re-
po,t goes into great detail. Summed up,
the report shows that of the l0,707 child
rem attending these industrial schools
S,S52 are actually uuderfed by reason OF
poverty at home. II was found that the
best breakfast that any OF these S,o52
children had was a piece of bread and a
cup of tea or coffee. A diet not only in
adequate for nourishment, but actually
destructive to child's nervous system.
A grownup person only requires enough
nourlshment TO repair tne waste, wear
and tear incident to the daily activities OF
brain and muscle. A child not only re-
quires this, but it requires added nourish-
ment for the growth and development of
all the tissues of its body. No wonder we
are raising up class of people in this
city which have called in another place
"Newyorkitics No wonder there is an
ever increasing procession of broken-down
brains and nervous systems heading for
the hospitals for insane. No wonder that
crime is on the increase. What better can
be expected from adults whose brains and
nerves have been starved and stunted
from births
But what exactly is poverty Destitu-
tion of property; indigence; want OF con
venent means of subsistence; need. That
is what the dictionary says poverty is.
Want of convenient means of subsistence
Is the want Of some one or all OF the fve
chemical substances called proximate
principles, which we take and must have
to sustain animal life. The continual abb
senee of these chemical substances from
the human stom ach, together with lack OF
clothing sufficient to protect the body

The report Of the State Board of Chari-
ties for New York State shows that an
average of about 26 per cent. OF the pop
ulation were aided, by both private and
public charities, during each of the three
years 1897, 1898 and 1899; and according
to the report of the official statistician of
Boston for 1903 more than 90 per cent. of
the entire population of that city were
aided by the public authorities alone.
This does not include private charities.
In fact, all statistics of charitable works
are defective, because they can never in
elude the efforts to relieve suffering and
poverty made by those who do not let the
left hand know the right hand is doing.
Commenting on the above statistics
from Boston aud New York State. Mr..
Hunter says: "lf the figures are correct
as published. the persons in New York
State in distress in 1897. and in Boston in
distress in 1897, and in Boston in 1903,
would equal proportionaiely the number
OF those in poverty in London.
Here aie other facts abeut poverty

widespread poverty. there have not been
for over half century in England so few
panpers, either actually or proportionately,
as there are now. The population of Eng
land has increase from is, 900, 900 persons
in 1851 to 10000, 900 in 1889 During
this period the number of paupers actually
fell of. London has lost in pauper popu.
lation fifteen times as fast as she has
gained in general population
On the other hand the returns from the
almshouses in The United States show
that the number Of paupers increased al
most as fast M population during the
decade from 1880 to 1890. In Hartford.
Conn, which is said 10 be the richest per
capita city in the United States, the num-
Der of paupers increased so per cent.
during the same decade.

ADVICE OF SENATOR BEVERIDGE.

Senator Beveridge, of Indiana,
thinks the young men of the coun-
try do not take a sufficient interest
in politics, and ne undertakes i'll an
article written for the Saturday
Evening Post to advise with them
on the subject Among other things
be says:
''Be one of these precinct com
mittemen, or county committee.
man. BE Il member of an active
political club which is working fol
your party's success. There are
such clubs in every ward of our
cities They are the powerhouses
of our politieaI system. Party SEN
timent finds its irst expression
there-often it has IFS beginnings
there in The free sations
which characterize such American
political societies. You will find
the "leaders" gathering there,
too; and in the talks among these
men those plans gradually take
form by which nominations are
made. "
We doubt very much if Senator
Beveridge's advice is as good as he
thinks it is. Unqnestionably young
men should take an interest in pol
tiles to the end that there shall be
good and efficient government,
local, State and national, but it is
not necessary in order to manifest
such an interest in political affairs
for all young men to become pre-.
clnct commltteemen or members OF
an ''active political club" 1t is
quite true that through such as.
sociations they will get acquainted
with the men who serve as "lead.
ers" and learn how the nominating
machinery operates, but it is very
doubtful if they will get anything
else that will really be for their
good and benefit. On the other
hand there is grave danger that
they will gradually imblbe the idea
that Office holding is the main bust.
ness of life. This is an idea that
has spelled the ruin Of thousands
of young men who have contracted
it through the political club OF
precinct committee business. They
neglect occupations that would
make them happy aud useful citi.
zens to become mere hangers-on OF
the party machine, and like Micaw
Der, wait constantly for "some.
thing to turn up" A very large
city in this country is full of wrecks
of this kind.
All intelligent people, of course
understand that under our system
Of government there must be pol
iticans, the men who attend to the
business of politics, who arrange
the plans for primaries, conventions
and the getting out of tickets, an(
who stimulate the interest of voter!
and prepare rnles for the election
These men are known as "lead
ers," but they really are the serv
ants Of the people, and if they dt
things they should not do the faul
is with the people who fail to exer
else proper control over them ant
their actions. We agree with Sen
ator Beveridge that young men o
all political parties should take al
interest in politics, but we thinl
this interest in great measure
should be confined TO the punctua
discharge of their civic duties ans

to deciding which set Of candidates
at the primary should be voted for
and which set of principles should
prevail. The votes of such young
men will control the leaders, the
political clubs and the committee
men through the fear of defeat If
their action is not right, and by ad-

the town did not get ahead faster.

he found that others had been max
