S0usa and His Band.

The tickets have been selling splendidly
for Sousa's band concert at Music Hall
Thursday evening and the program of
the concert appears in our advertising
columns. A few good seats are still left,
but it is safe to predict they will all be
sold when Mr.. Sousa lifts his baton for
the opening number.
When Sousa and his band recently
appeared at the Pabst Theatre in Mil.
waukee nearly thousand people were
turned away and the musical critic OF
the Free Press closed an appreciative
article with this tribute to the music
king:
And thus Sousa has been an educa.
tional mission, little as it is appreciated
by the craft. and by those who we're
surreptitiously converted without being
aware OF the benevolent ruse played
upon them by their idol. Sousa is as
conscious musician at heart, and as
such surely prefers classic music, Tor such
as goes under that app.llation), but
also too careful an educator to risk
popularity of his undertaking and with
it perhaps its educational influence, by
trying to force the issue as many we'll
meaning orchestra leader has tried, to
his sorrow"

work it has just accomplished in
cotton culture. This work has
occupied a number of years and
has just been announced. 1t
will be appreciated most readily
through the cotton belt where
the planters know that an eight
of an inch on the length of the
cotton staple means an increase
of a cent a pound in the value of
the crop. Rut even people out
side the cotton belt must realize
what it means when the length
of the staple is increased by half
an inch or an inch.
This has been done by long
and painstaking work in which
a large number of southern
planters have cheerfully cooper
ated with the Department and
helped in the work of record
keeping and selection. The
plants have been bred as care
fully as blooded stock and pedi-
grees have been kept in the
same way. Now the Department
has several strains of a fixed
type that will transmit their inn
proved qualities to their prog
eny. The supply of seed so far
is not large, but the Department
is ready to distribute it so far as
it will go and the result should
be that that Americas cotton
crop which is now the second
largest crop in the country and
the largest of our export crops
should be vastly increased in
value. The cotton crop is now
valued at 5000, 900, 900 annually
and if four cents a pound, which
is regarded as a conservative
amount can be added to it's value,
it is easy to e that the Depart
ment will have paid many times
over for all the money that the
government has ever expended
on it.

There is something after all in
the contention of ex-Chief En-
gineer Wallace, that it was the
government system that forced
his resignation. 1t may or may
not be true that the canal stands
a better chance of being dug by
private contract than it does
under the direct control of the
Panama Canal Commission. Gov
eminent ways are not contract
ors ways, and it is quite possible
that the work on the canal could
be more speedily done, as most
other great engineering works
are done, by letting out the ac-
tual digging and trusting to the
contractor to put the job through
on a basis that would reflect
credit on himself. The govern
ment ways Of supervising work
and admitting accounts are not
contractors ways. 1t has been
often said and with much show
of reason, that the government
spends a dollar to keep track of
a dollar spent. Government
bookkeeping and government
auditing are both decidedly diff
ferent from that an engineer on
a private contractor is used to.
1t may be better and it may be
safer so far as the actual ex-
penditure is concerned, but there
is a serious doubt whether it ac-
complishes things as quickly.
The Panama canal has been un-
der serious consideration for six
years and under supposed CON
struction for almost two. But
real work has scarcely been
touched. The public is getting
very tired of the eternal pre-
paration for work that is never
done, and it would be a relief to
see the work turned over to a
private company that would dig
the canal instead of making re
ports.

1t has become more or less a
habit to make fun of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Yet in the
past few years the department
has done a number of things that
would more than have paid for
itself from the beginning. OF
course there have been scandals.
The cotton crop leak was bad
enough, and there have been
other occasions when otherwise
good men have succumbed to the
temptation to make what looked
like easy money" But the de-
partment must be given credit
for the good it has done, and
there are a few things in that
line that will ever rank over the

OFFICIAL PAPER OF CUSTER 90.

After two days hearing in
New York during which it was
shown that there were all sorts
of misrepresentation practiced
in the freight shipping business,
the Inter State Commerce Com
missioners drifted back to Wash
ington with a garulous indecis-
ion as to whether or not there
would be any prosecutions as the
result of their Investigation. 1t
was shown that the freight con-
ditions in New York were about
as bad as they could be. The
vast majority of the shippers out
of the big city billed their freight
under the regulation schedule as
a matter of course. If they were
caught at it, no matter, they had
no penalty to suffer, and if they
were not caught, so much to the
good. Ii was shown in the hear
ing that there was an average of
1900 Corrections a month
made by the freight inspectors
in the bills of lading, and this did
not take account of the number
of cases that got through either
by collision or otherwise. 1t
was shown that the stealings at
tempted in this way were in the
individual case small, but there
we're enough of them in three
weeks to mark up the freight
bills of the railroads $4,000.
This was on corrections in the
bills of lading that rang from a
few cents to a few dollars. 1t
was in reality petty larceny on a
grand scale.
The Commissioners remarked
YEARLY when they came back
that they did not know whether
there would be any proceedings
against the shippers or not. The
individual cases were so trifling
and it was so hard to trace any
of them directly to the manag-
ers of the manufactures who
were responsible and to prove
fraudulent intent, But the fraud
ulent intent was there all right
and If there are no proceedings
it will only prove that it is as
easy and cheaper to be dishonest
in this country than to be honest.
The most serious phase of the
whole matter was put by one
member of the Commission when
he said THE sad part of it to me
is not that the shippers are
cheating the government in re-
bates, but that the moral sense
of the business community is so
low that cheap robbery of this
sort is winked at and merchants
habitually under bill goods
knowing if they do not make
their little profit this way that
their rivals will and thus under
sell them. 1t is a serious mat
ter when the moral sense of any
peopie is blunted enough to
make this sort of a thing looked
on as a matter of course and the
only way to successfully conduct
business" That is the serious
part of it. Common honesty and
business honesty seem to have
parted company. Decidedly this
country needs an honesty revival
in business circles.
