\ Panama Canal Convention.

The Chattanooga TradeSman.
 The commercial organizations of New Orleans, acting through a joint execu- tive committee, have authorized the calling of q convention to be held in that city on April ,, 6, [.
 The objects of the convention are to take proper steps for the development of trade and commerce through the port of New Orleans that may in any way be reached through the Panama Canal at it's completion or pending it's construction. The convention will, therefore, consider all the industrial and commercial interests of the Mis- sissippi Valley and the South. The call will probably have been given to the public before this issue of The Tradesman appears and will speak for itself regarding all matters that will come before the convention and who will constitute It's membership.
 As We are at present advised, how ever, the call will include representa- tives from commercial organizations, mayors of important cities, Governors of Southern States, members of the press and such others as may tend to aid in the general purposes of the con vention, and which are primarily to build up the South and along the ter ritory of the Mississippi River and its tributaries for q Southern gateway of commerce for the Orient, Central and south American points.
 It is designed to effect a permanent organization that will become as it were. a watch-dog over the interests of the South Atlantic and Gulf ports, during all the period of the building of the Panama Canal, so that no advant- age may be taken in any quarter of those natural advantages which the canal will give to the territory men toned, when it is completed.
 Tffe necessity for such convention was disclosed during the convention which met in Washington City on Jan uary IT, last, in the interest of the Rivers and Harbors. The New Orleans Board of Trade sent q delegation to that convention, and these called on Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts of the Panama Commission in relation to the purchase of supplies for the ca cOnditiors were discovered that tended to give New York an advantage over southern ports ard that delegation on ed the calling of a general convention

ONE RICH MAN.

The latest estimate we have seen of John D. Rockefeller's wealth puts the total at one thousand million dol- and the only way to get a conception of it is by comparison and division. Let us suppose, for example, a child born on the game day the Savior was, and still living, then let us suppose that each year during that long period half million dollars had been deposited to his credit and that all those de- posits remained intact to the present day; leaving out the interest, he would not now have as much money asl Rocke- feller is reputed to be worth. It would require two thousand years 30 accu mulate a thousand million dollars in that way.
 Again, If Rockefeller's wealth were invested in four per cent bonds his income would be nearly s1AG.o00 day, or $4,5sO an hour, or $76 minute. Of course no man has use for that much money, nor can any man spend 1t in any ordinary way. The only way to get rid of it would be to shovel it Into fur mace, or some such process. Rich as Croesus" is a saying which has been used for centuries to denote unlimited wealth but the ancient Lydian would be a poor man alongside the modern Croesus.
 Can such vast riches be any real pleasure to a man? We doubt it very decidedly All the qualification 1t can be to him is the pleasure of getting, and that must pail, soon or late. All he can do is to add to it, or let It add to itself, and each added million must add to the care and work of watching it and investing it. Give me neither poverty nor riches" was the prayer of Agur, the son of Jakeh, and he was evidently imbued with a proper con ception of the subject. With all his many millions Rockefeller is less to be envied than is the man who works each day for living. -:

WHERE IS HE.

Where Is the man? is the, question being asked by some esteemed con- femporaries in connection with the discussion of a Southern Democrat for the presidential nomination. We sus- pect that quite a number Of volunteers will be ready to get on stump and cxciaim, 'T am It." but win a national convention agree? That we have Dem ocrats in the South qualified in all re- spects to fill the office creditabIy is not 10 be doubted. but we must have a man on whom Northern and Southern Dem- ocrats of all shades of opinion can agree. Where and who Is he?
 We tell the optimisr that the man may be hard to find; not that 1t will be difficult to find a Southern Democrat fully competent in every way, for sev- eral could be named who possess the character and qualifications needed to make a good President, but the one selected must be able to unite all eie- ments of Democracy and hold them to- gether. Unfortunately the last decade has witnessed grave differences of opin- ion among Democrats, in the South as elsewhere, and some of these dlfrer- ences have been on vital points Good and true men have differed. not only on essential principles of Democracy and Democratic policies, but on matters of vital importance to good government. ITO insure success VIC must have a man who can weld all the elements of the party together into q harmonious whole so that we can meet the enemy with a united front. If candidate and plat form are such as to draw 10 them good Republicans who arc tired of the radi- caiism of their own party so much the better. We are hopeful that all this can be accomplished and that Southern Democracy may again put safe man in the Presidential chair. for the need is great, but where is the man?

Letters to The Editor

 The oft discussed question now is will the farmers plant for large crop dr d small crop of cotton.
 If A, R, C and D intend to plant large ly of cotton. confidently believing that F, r, and q will plant d small part or their crop in cotton, the result may be, that all of them may plant all cotton;
 The wise thing to do Is for eacIl and seVery farmer to cut down the acre. age enough to insure small crop, no matter how the yield may be.
 Were 1t not for it's bad effects upon the whole country, 1t would be money in the farmers pocket to raise only one fourth of an average crop, prOyloed: however, he used the three-fourths or the land in raising home supplies;
 No one, l suppose will deny that V as a full crop to the farmers ana oS the same parity of reasoning the one fourth crop will be equal as money False cotton, q patriotic duty, but not n duty to make more of 1t than the world needs. s. ,,u..,.

This is fact no one can truthfully deny. and yet it is be- iteved there are men who will close their eyes to the plain voice of reason and do all in their power to place q I2 or 13,0O0.0O0 bale crop on the market next fall and thus plunge the farmers into financial ruin.
 The world is willing to pay F l-2 cents for cotton and not only willing but able to pay 1t. Then please toll me, why not so reduce the acreage in
 A move all along the line to reduce acreage in cotton, and increase acre age in food crops, would benefit every man In the cotton States who tills the soil, while on the other hand. refusal 10 cut down the acreage will bring dis satisfaction and untold loss of millions in money to the men who justly earn
 If we, as farmers, refuse to walk in a path so plain and go on and fill ev- cry warehouse with 5 cent cotton. no one ought to be sorry for us, if we have to live on cotton seed and pumpkins.

 Very recently, Judge Henry S Bar ker of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, in these words:
 An independent press does more day by day to crush out crime and restrain criminals than all of the organized and paid constabulary of the State; the searchIight of it's investigation into the conduct of public officials Is more dreaded by the corrupt and the vicious than all of the sanctions of the penal law; and as an upbuilder and sustainer of an enlightened public opinion 1t constitutes a large part of the founda- tIon of civil liberty. Those whose faith is sufficiently optimistic to indulge a hope for the permanency of our in stitutions and civilization must rest it, in large part at least. upon confidence of the quickening influence of an un- trammeled press upon the public con science.

 Because of the liability of the ein- ployer for all injuries to the employe, more attention is paid to the protec- kion of the workfnen in France ana otn- CT European countries. possibly, than in America.
 Tn France the law presumes that the accident Is due to the negligence of the employer. A workman receiving permanent injuries. jncpaacItating him from work. Is entitled to an annual income of two-thirds of his salary; for temporary ncapacity he is entitled to claim one-half of his salary. If the workman dies from the result of an accident his wife is entitled to a yearly income of twenty per cent. of her late husbands salary if she does not re- marry. and a child receives fifteen per cent of the deceased workman's sala- ry until arriving at the age of sixteen; if two children. they receive twenty five per cent; If three, thirty-flve per cent. and if four or more. forty per cent
 It will be seen, therefore, how great ly 1t is to the interest of the employer in France to seek for and adopt safety devices in his factory. It is also aa di- rect object to builders to make safety to the operator an important consid- eration in planning of machines. The French machinery builders have al- ready brought safety in machines to B high degree of perfection.

 The newspapers of Alabama are md state in the results of the administra- ton of Governor William n. Jelks, who has still nearly a year to serve. They point out that although at the begin ming of his term. five years ago, re- duction in the tax rate added to the responsibilities of his office, and though the expenses of the state have steadily increased, the appropriations for education, for instagce, during the past five years having amounted to E., ,424, S26 against $3.436,f62 inSthe pre- ceding five years, the finances of all the branches of the state government are in q healthy condition. This Is attributed to the quiet, earnest and systematic leadership of Governor Jelks, which has been reflected in g general policy of thoroughness, energy and ability, as The Montgomery Adver- tiser puts 1t, and that paper finds that he has had no ambition but to serve well and faithfully the people of Ala Iy into this or that social or education al movement that for the moment seemed popular, but has, nevertheless, shown that he is really an educational statesman and deeply and personally concerned for the welfare and happi- ness of all the people of the state: He has not played with doubtful policies or used his office to build up a politI- cal machine as a means to win other and will be honored for the way in which he has filled it. He has not been heraided broadcast as a reform er' or as q business" governor, but he has wrought reform and has given his state business administration.

 A permanent exhibition of practical appliances to prevent accidents to op- orators of machines in factories has been established in Paris at the Con servatoire des Arts ct Metiers. This exhibition was officially opened early in December by M. Loubet, President of the Republic.
 In the exhibition are installed the more common machines found In fac- tories The machines are in motion, and a practical demonstration IS given daily by an official in charge. The various machines have been chosen by inc administration of the conservatoire as representative of their class, and are equipped with the most improved ap- pliances for the prevention of acci- dents to the operator,
 One notes first of all that the ar engagements added to protect the oper- ator improve rather than inture the appearance of the machines. In eV- cry instance the safety appliances are graceful and slightly; at the same time they are arranged with the great est possible simplicity and economy. and 1t Is apparent that the improve ments, though of great value both to the employer and to the employe. must add but a small per cent. to the cost of the machine. A brief recital of some nf the more common mucnlneS Iounu III the collection will give a comprehen- sive idea if the scope of the exhibition and the general idea elaborated.
 FlywheeIs within the height of the operator are surrounded by high screens of substantial wirework. If inc wheel is small and screen inn practicable the spOkes of the flywheel arc hidden by light plates that make it impossible for the clothing or per son of the operator to become involv- ed in the wheel.
 Horizontal saws are entirely protec- ted by an ingenious arrangement some- what on the plan of the sticks of an ordinary fan. and can readily be swung backward or forward to admit work of varying sizes. Ribbon or band saws are incased in angle pieces or practi- cal boxes wherever it is possible for the operator to come in contact with ths~blade
 All gearing to lathes is enclosed. and a pr;Icticable and readily detachable casing over the end gears permits the change of these gears in the screw cutting machines.
 Emery wheels are closely lncased and the operatop protected from inju- I.v from the dust and flying particles.
 Drills. blaming or mOrtising machines are closely protected at all parts and it would seem that d determined ef- fort would be required on the part\of the operator to secure injury.

Commenting on The Advertisers ac- count of the destruction of the valuable library of MT. owen short while ago The Charlotte Observer gives warning that the State and Supreme Court Li- brarles of North Carolina are not by any means safe from destruction by fire, and that if the documents and records therein should be burned their replacement would be impossible.
