THE SOUTHERN MO-
NOPOLY OF COTTON.

he British Cotton Growers |
Association is doubtless behind the
scheme, reported from Manches-
ter, to enlist the enterprise and
intelligence OF the Japs in grow
ing cotton in China. In the hope
OF becoming independent OF the
American supply, the British spin
ners have been trying to develop
the cotton growing industry in
many OF their tropical or sub-tro-
pical colonies, but with poor sue
cess. SAYS the St. Louis Republic.
With cheap coolie labor under
Japanese direction they hope to
do better within the ATTITUDES OF
China corresponding to the cot
ton belt of the United States. The
scheme looks we'll on the face OF
il, but its promoters do not claim
that ii is yet anything more than
an experimental enterprise.
And a doubtful experiment it
Is. Though the cotton plant is in
digenous to the tropical regions
of both heInispheres, the cotton
belt OF the United States, living
mostly between the tWenty-sixth
and the thirty-sixth parallels. is
the only portion OF the globe in
which ii has been founud posi-
bic % grow cotton OF the right
kind in sufficient quantity to keep
the SpinnerS Of the civilized world
busy.
The cotton of Egypt Is good
but there can never be enough OF
1t. The crop of India Is hardly
more than a quarter Of ours anC
the fiber Is too short for the Eng
fish mills. Possibly China ma,
do better than India. but 10 MAY

When Rossetti was student Of art
he che dag happened to go with some
fellow students to the east end Of Lon
don. There at Il wharfside inn he saw
an immense canvas OH the barroom
wall. After laughing at it for some
time and thus provoking the innkeep-
er's wrath the following conversation
took place:
'Where did you get that picture?
''Oh, never mind. young man, where
l got itv' ....-. r.. ..<
"What price do you set on it?'
More than you can afford" @f -
Indeed said Rossetti. Nov, how
much?" ~
'Three thousand pounds" replied the
innkeeper. - e~,
AT this there was a loud burst of
laughter from the young artists,
"Do you know how much would
give yoil for your $4,000 picture?'
How much?" asked the innl1eeper.
"rhrce pounds" said Rossetti.
Done" said the innkeeper promptly.

Louis Ludlow, writing from Wash
ington, says: 1t is war to the knife
between the house and senate, and
Speaker Cannon and "Whip' Wat
son were in close consultation Sun
day over the legislative program.
The speaker has sounded a call to
arms. The Senate has killed the
Philippine tariff bill pulled a lung out
of the statehood bill and is threaten
ing to emasculate the railroad rate
BILL The speakers "dander is
up.' He takes the position that
now is the time for the house to as
sert itself or else concede that the
senate is the whole thing in the ma
tional lawmaking body.
The speaker and Whip Watson are
planning to hold a caucus this week,
probably OH Thursday night, to put
the screws to the house insurgents
who are threatening to break on the
program to reject the senate state
hood amendments.
The speaker declared that not only
will the statehood bill be sent back
to the senate with the emphatic disap
proval of the house, but that the ia
vorite measures of the snators, the
ship subsidy bill, shall die in the
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries.
There are lovely times ahead for
the statesmen and Watson will be in
the thick of the fray.
The president has sent for Hill
and he will go to the white house to-
morrow morning for a conference.
The Legislature situation has taken
queer shape, the house and the
president standing together as
against the domination Of the senate
and hoping yet to have something out
of the wreck Of measures III which
the people are interested.

BE a lightning Calculator.

Multiplication is the most Important
OF the fundamental rules Of ari tlmetic
In large accounting departments men-
tai arithmetic is often used to very
large extent, and the one who cannot
perform this task without resorting to
figuring the long way on paper has
but small chance of gaining a posi-
ton worth having. Here is one little
lesson in lightning multiplication. Sup
posing you want to multiply 50 by 81.
First, multiply units by units, thus:
3 are II, set down the 2 and car
ry 1. Multiply tens by units and units
by tens, adding the l to carry to the
first product. then add the two prod
ucts together, thus: 5 are 20 and
to carry, 81, and 8 3 are "A. and q
and "a are IS, set down the 5 and carry
4. Now multiply the tens together and
add the you had to carry, thus: 8 x 5
are 40, and makes A. Set this amount
down in the answer. and you will have
the correct result-4.452.

THE sENATE's GRUDGE.

President Roosevelt, in a telegram
to Major General Wood, congratulate
ed him and his men on their recent
victory over the Moros on the island
of Jolo, in which some nine hundred
Moros and fifteen Americans were
killed. The Senate now proposes to
criticise this message, claiming that
the victory was nothing more than a
slaughter, that it is not an affair over
which the President ought to feel
proud. Tt is safe to say that Pres
ident Roosevelt does not feel jubilant
overthe death of nine hundred Moros,
but is lie to he blamed for. feeling
proud that four hundred American
soldiers accomplished the death of
these Moro brigands, in the face of
what were almost insurmountable
odds? Did the Senate hold an in
dignation meeting when Tracy, the
bandit, was killed, and declare that
his death was deplorable slaughter?
No. Then why should they criticise
President Roosevelt for congratulate
ing American soldiers who have WHIP
ed out of existence band of nine
hundred outlaws, each one of whom
was as bad as ten Tracys? Simply
because the Senate is "sore" at the
President for the way in which he
has shown it up to be nothingmore or
less than a crowd of grafters, DELHI
erately misrepresenting the people in
favor of the railroads, corporations,
and other special interests. The
Senate, envies and hates him for his
popularity with the people whose
champion and president he is, and
would do everything in their power
to dim his popularity. That IS the
true reason the Senate is criticising
the President for congratulatng a
little army of American soldiers, who
have succeeded in defeating and kill
ing more than double their number
Of Moro outlaws. ~ Il

Up a Shot Tower.

"It was a strange experience" said
the huntsman "As | assembled the
spiral stairs Of the tower saw shot
falling like rain, around me. The shot
tower was 200 feet high. At it's base
there was tank of water for the shot
to drop into. If it fell on the earth,
you know, it would be fiat instead of
round. On top of the tower was huge
boiler iillcd with molten lead. The
manager ladled the lead into perco-
lator. kind of strainer, and thence it
fell into the cistern of cold water 200
feet below. 1t took it three seconds to
fall. They made different sizes Of shot
on the tower by using different perco-
lators-big holes for big shot. small
holes for fine shot, and so on. The wa
ter in the cistern had to be changed
every little while. 1t would have be-
come so hot otherwise that it would
have kept the shot soft."-New Orleans
