Mr.. T.. D.. Smith, the president of

? ed an important address, through a
special committee, regarding the erec-
ton of warehouses for the storage Of
cotton and for lending money on such
cotton stored in association ware
houses to the members of the asso-
citation. The address is of the great
est Importance to farmers, telling as
it does the plans to be worked out.
Mr. Smith accompanies the adj
dress with personal card as fol-
lows:
"Recognizing the fact THAT the
commercial prospect depends upon
the permanent basis, and in view of
the fact that we must have surplus
capital invested where it can be a
vailable for retiring this cotton, I
hope the plan given below will be
taken up by The several counties in

"We will begin an active campaign

"E. D. Smith"
Every fall thousands of bales Of
fc6tton are forced on the market re-
1 gardless of the price, because the
producers and owners have incurred
debts in making their crops, and have
no other means of meeting their OBJ
legations, other than by selling their
cotton. Tt is this very condition that
has caused every year unsatisfactory
prices to be obtained for the pro-
duct. 1t is useless to tell farmer
or owner of cotton what it is really
worth without giving him means by.
which he can realize its worth. The
people are demanding a practical,
simple, uniform plan or cooperation
! by which COTTON can be stored and
money borrowed, and the floating
Ecotton purchased and retired from the
market, so that the price can be fix
Lea and maintained Immediately. 1t
|is,. therefore, evident, that in order

MERELY A BLUFF.

The sensational discovery by the Po-
table Water Commission that the East
Jersey Water Company, since the
enactment of the Potable Water Com
mission act. has been taking more
water from the Passaic than the maxi
mum amount allowed to the company
under the law. without paying for the
excess, is well timed. 1t occurs about
two weeks prior to the election.
The object of this bluff evidently is
to make the public believe that the
commission is going to be a Cerberus
In its watchfulness of the States waters
against the depredations of private
water companies. The East Jersey,
which sells the Passaic water at prices
ranging from $50 to $3.50 a million gall
Ions and has no legal right to divert a
gallon Of water at Little Falls, is well
enough content to pay the trifing price
per million gallons that the law au-
thorizes the commission to accept, a
price so small that an East Jersey law
yer may have put it in the legislative
hill

NEW YoRK,s BANK TROUBLES.

The troubles in banking circles in New
York are of a local character and only
indirectly affect financial interests out
side of New York. Some of the New
York banks and trust companies have
been controlled by men identified with
copper and other highf1ying specula-
tlons and, caught in the slump in the
stock market, they have compromised
the standing of the institutions they
represented without, however, seriously
impairing their assets. There has been
a clearing out of these men, but the
process has disturbed confidence, in the
case of one large institution to the ex-
tent of causing a run on it's deposits,
which the officers were temporarily un-
able to meet.
A stock market now so sensitive and
timid that it is afraid of it's own
shadow, of course took new fright at
the temporary suspension of a trust
company, without reasoning on its
causes and circumstances, and down
went stock values to new low records.
Exaggerated versions of the trouble
cabied abroad caused a decline in Amer
lean securities in the foreign market.
The apprehension excited will
not be allayed probably for several
days, but the trouble, being due to local
and remedial causes. must soon blow
over. And it is well that the house,
cleaning of which this is an effect has
occurred at this time.
Hereafter there will be greater con-
fidence in the banks of New York.
With promoters and spectators driven
out of their chains of banks and trust
companies, the old conservative bank
ing Management which has always been
in control of most of the city's banks
will be restored to all the banks, and
business interests, and not speculative
interests, will now lave the preference
for the accommodations extended by
the banks generally.

rHE OUTRAGE ON OUR, CITY.

The Common Council would be false
to its duty if it did not use every legal
means to prevent the outrage contem-
plated IN the Potable Water Commits
sion act from being contaminated.
TIL resolution introduced in the Com
mon Council last night and unani-
nously adopted in%structing the city
counsel to examine this commission act
ai1d TO begin proceedings in the courts
to test its legality is well timed. The
efforts made in the Legislature to
amend this vicious act and strip the
commission of its mischievous and
Z dangerous powers failed because the
East Jersey Water Company lobby.
aided by public officials even of this
city. interfered TO prevent. The act
was passed n was signed by the
Governor by the urgings of men in
public office, including the Newark
city engineer, while members of the
Board of Works either favored the bill
or were Indifferent to II.
The price paid by the city for the
Pequannock water plant was $4,000, 900.
The present value of that plant is not
less than s2O.O 900, 900. The Water Com
mission bill actually strips from New
ark all this property value and prac-
tically turns the city out of the water
shed. The law gives to Newark exactly
the same rights as East Jersey Water
Company has used at Little Falls,
where it pumps water out of the river
without any legal authority to do so.
The Sc, 900, 900 of bonds issued to pay for
the ~Pequannock plant are left a lien
on the city, while the property pur-
chased by the bonds is confiscated by
the State. A great public wrong has
been perpetrated and that wrong must
be righted. IT is not enough to appeal
10 the Legislature ncxt winter for a
-reasess. The lash must be placed upon
the shoulders OF every man who was
instrumental in getting this extraor-
binary law passed and signed.

A VOTE FoR PUBLIC DOCKS.

A popular vote on the question of
public ownership on the water front
will now be taken, the Common Council
last night having authorized the cleo
ton. Municipal ownership of public
utilities. such as street railroads and
gas works. is impracticable in Ameri-
can cities. Public ownership of docks
and wharves is about the same as
public ownership of streets and high
ways. A city like Newark, situated on
a navigable arm of the ocean and next
door neighbor to one of the greatest
commercial cities in the world, is curl
ously recreant to its own material in
terest when it sits supinely down, neg
lects all development and permits its
great opportunities to pass into the
hands of strangers.
The law under which this election is
to be held is not altogether satisfactory,
but its defects can be remedied by legis-
lative, amendment. The object now Is
to make sure of the opportunity which
is afforded by the law. If this OBJ
ject should be defeated at the polls the
opportunity will pre- Y never occur
again and the people viii have lost an
estate of future priceless value.

Everything waits upon the November

are summed up. the active work of the
great national campaign of 1908 will

events of that year will be shaped by
the events of the coming election. The

may be influenced by them, and Mr.

FOE PRACTICAL FORESTRY.

A gift of two thousand acres of
forest land in Massachusetts to Har-
ward University by a number of Massa-
chusetts citizens is one of the most ac-
ceptable gifts that a great university
could receive at the present time. The
nation has adopted a comprehensive
have enacted forestry laws. The
American people have awakened to the
sale destruction of the forests that has
been going on unchecked. and states
men keenly realize the necessity for
adopting the regulations and methods
that obtain in European countries for
the preservation and restoration CT the
forest growth.
Forestry has assumed in this country
the Importance Of a science, and we
look to the universities to turn out
trained men to apply that science fol-
the benefit of the country. The forest
tract presented to Harvard will be well
adapted to practical training in all
branches of forestry, and it's treat
ment will make g valuable object les
son for owners of woodland. A SINH
lar gift to Princeton University would
not be amiss. Or the State Forestry
Commission and the university au-
thorities might arrange a plan by
which a tract or tracts of State forest
land could be placed at the disposal OF
The university for the use of students

PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN

Katzenbach as the Artful DOdger.
[FroIn the Camden Post-Telegram, Rep.l
The experienced newspaper reporter
usually is an adept in the art of extract
ing desired Information from an unwilling
subject Of an interview, Inc where he
fails it may be regarded as useless for the
average citizen to make the effort. One
of these persistently inquisitive gentlemen,
however, a day or two ago made a dismal
water-haul in an attempt to get a line on
Candidate Katzenbach's intentions with
respect to declaring himself upon the ex-
else question.
"Mr. Katzenbach," remarked the scribe
tentatively, as he furtively reached for
the pencil in his upper vest pocket, "the
excise question seems to be receiving a
good deal of attention in the
and among the people just at present"
so l have heard" was the bland reply.
And, Mr.. Katzenbach," continued the
reporter. II have heard 1t stated that
you will define your position upon that
question before the close of the campaign
lis that statement correct?'
'I may do So" vouchsafed Mr.. Katzen-
| bach pleasantly.
well, Mr.. Katzenbach," pursued the
reporter, does that mean that you will
| do so?'
Mott simply means that I will If I
do replied Mr.. Katzenbach, and then .he
reporter CONCLUDED TO give 1t up. Vs.
This incident is APPLY suggestive of the
anecdote of the Irish man-servant who
was told by his master, the Bishop, that
he expected to be very busy that day,
and that If any visitors should call they
should not be informed that he was at
home. Shall I say yer Worship's gone
out?" asked Patrick. ooh, no." replied
the Bishop, that would be a faIsehood.
JUS give some evasive answer-you un-
derstand. Patrick"
During the afternoon Patrick was sumo
moned to the door, where he was met by
a neighborlng curate, to whose inquiry
whether the bishop was at home he re-
piled, Sure his worship is always at home
barrin' the times whin he's gone out, an
thin times is sometimes wan time an
sometimes another, an We can niver tell
which it Is until We find out"
1t is a reasonable presumption that, like
Mr.. Katzenbach's inquisitive reporter, the
bishops caller gave it up. The vital diff
ference, however, between Patrick's eva
sive r~eticence and that 50 doggedly main-
tanned by Candidate Katzenbach consists in
the fact that the former was disinterested-
ly doing his best to benefit another, while
the latter, for his own personal
is seeking to hoodwink both OF TWO OIL

THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.

The fiscal year of the State ends on
Thursday of next week. On that date
all the accounts of the State for the
year must be closed and balanced, all
bills must be paid and all appropria-
lions accounted for. 1t is customary
for the State Comptroller, when the
business of the day is close on Oc-
tober 81, to send a brief dispatch to
the Governor stating the amount of
the annual receipts and the amount of
the balance or surplus remaining in
the treasury, and Comptroller Morgan
will doubtless be ready with his state
ment when the fiscal year ends. Last
year there was a s%hrinkage of about
$4,000 in the annual surplus, but there
is reason to believe that the balance
this year win show UP more favorably.
