GuesseS versus Stats tics.

The estimate cfacreage, condition
and yield OF the cotton crop made bs
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of agriculture have been inves-
tigated by the Keep commission.
The commission hius there Is moth
ing arithmeticdl III the making ii
those estimates-that they are in fact
reached by 1.-THE exerLise of judg-
ment,' which means that they are
simply gaesses. And yet $1,000 per-
sons assist in the making Of those
guesses. The final guessers are, how
ever, but four persons living in Wash
ington, where no cotton is grown.
Very likely the four never saw cot
ton patch.
The Keep commission has little
faith in the work of the $4,000, end
it recommends that the entire bust
ness be transferred to the census
bureau. This is the common sense
Of the situation. The entire army OF
individuals and town correspon-
dents should be cut off, for they
furnish nothing of value-nothing
that is needed even at Washington.
"Not only" said the Keep COM
mission," should the acreage plant
ed be determined by the census
bureau by process Of enumeration,
out the ginning statistics of the cen
sus should be the only government
reports on the yield. By abandoning
the early ginning statistics of the
census bureau enough money can be
saved to enable the census bureau
to ascertain the acreage planted.
The Keep commission has simply
recommended what all intelligent
observers have long been convinced
of, namely, that actual statistics
gathered by the census bureau are
far better than the guesses of the
agricultural department., or of any
other organization. The guess busi.
aess is in disfavor, and the KeeI
commission has simply expressed
puplie sentiment on that subject.

Amend the Primary Law.

Senator James A. Frear advo-
Gates the amendment of the prima-
ry election law in several particu-
lars. He would limit the amount
of money candidate may use to
promote his nomination to a reas-
enable, specific sum; and would
have the names on the ballot alter
nate, instead of the present method
of placing them on the ballot in al
phabetical order. The arrange
ment of the names alphabetically
gives those whose surname COM
mences with letter nearest the
head of the alphabet the advan-
tage. Some put this advantage as
high as ten per cent of the total
vote.
Amendments as suggested by Mr..
Frear would improve the law some
what, but its most serious defect is
in that provision that requires a
plurality only to nominate. That
law should provide that a small
per cent of the vote should nomi-
nate an officer, which nomination,
when made by the dominant party,
is equivalent to an election, is an
absurdity, travesty on popular
government, where our proud boast
is that the majority rules.
