| Representative McGregor of Har-
ris has introduced bill prohibiting
members of the railroad commission
| from becoming candidates for any
other state offices within two years
after their terms expire.
This will prevent a commissioner
from using his great business office
to arouse prejudice against the rail
roads 10 boom himself for another
office. The railroad commission Of

PREACHMENTS AND PRACTICES

The downfall of Senator Joseph
Bailey, the greatest constitutional
lawyer of his age, should drive home
to the heart and conscience of every
ambitious American the fact that
men are judged not by what they
preach but by what they practice.
Joseph Bailey stood in the great

more accurately, the official crimes

THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON

| Theodore H. Price, the well known
New York cotton operator. is out In
la statement concerning the outlook
for cotton prices, which affords pref
| ~ interesting reading. The theory
OF the writer IL that the cotton pro-
ducers of the south are about TO
come into a good thing in the form
of continued good prices for their
product. as result of the great IN
crease in gold production since the
decentralization of silver He thinks
that the initiation of gold values
is now so great as to ultimately lead
to gold decentralization, but predicts
that during the interim the prices of
cotton will go to 20 cents. He says:
further:
1t is plain think that the infla-
ton of our gold standard is progress
ing at rate that will ultimately
! lead to the decentralization of gold
as a measure of value; but before
that is accomplished the stimulus of
gold initiation will drive prices TO
heights that win make cotton at 20
cents a pound and corn at SO cents
Ia bushel seem reasonable.
Already the increased cost of liv-
ing" and the consequent advance III
wages eXemplfy the first stage OF
the process. And. although. if the
cost of living has doubled, the man
who earns $4,000 year and spends
$4,000 a year is no better off than
he was when earning $4,000 and
spending $4,000, he feels that he Is,
and this feeling engenders specula-
ton, and the continued anticipation
in word and deed of still great fan
cied prosperity.
Some two years ago | wrote that
the time would come when an Am
erican cotton crop of 10000, 0ot
bales would be viewed without
alarm as no more than equal 10 tbs
worlds requirements, and already
we seem to be in measurable dis
lance of the time when $1,000, Oct
bales are necessity.

POPE WILL PROTEST
 IN HIS ALLOCUTION
TO DENOUNCE THE ATTITUDE OF FRINGE AT CONSISTORY
 TO-DAY.

Especial Stress to Be Laid on Seizure
 of Documents at Papal Nunciature
 in ParIs--A Denial That Vatican Is
 to Issue White Book in Answer to
 Publication of Seized Documents
 American Ruthenian Catholics Grant
 cd Bishop.
 Rome, April 14.-In his allocution at to-morrow's consistory Pope Plus will devote an important passage to the conflict between France and the vati- can. It will be in protest against the conditions made for the churches and the methods of the French government and adopted all through the country, especially with regard to the seizure of the documents in the papal nunciature and their publication.
 The vatican denies that 1t intends to publish white book in answer to the publication of the documents of Mgr. Montagnini.
 The congregation of the propaganda has decided to grant the claims of the Ruthenian Catholics in the United States for the appointment of bishop, and has named Stephen Setere Ertyn- sky, who is member of the Ruthenian order of Basilians, as titular bishop of Dauns (Greece), with the mission to assist the Ruthenian Catholics through out the United States. His nomination will be announced at to-morrow's con sistory
 It is expected this concession will re- vive the claims of the Poles in Amer ica, who for years have desired their own bishops, but whose requests have been denied.
 Pope Plus having named Monsignor Lualdi, who will be made a cardinal to- morrow, as titular archbishop of the Church of St. Gregory, which has all ways been reserved for an English car dinal, it is believed that the Rt, Rev Francis Bourne, archbishop of West minister, is not likely soon to be given the red hat.

 Bridgeport, April 14.-A sermon by Bishop Daniel A. Goodsell, presiding over the sessions of the New York East Methodist Episcopal conference being held here at the First M. E. church, an ordination service at Wash ington Park N. E. church, services un- der the auspices of the Young Mems Christian association and an evening missionary service with Rev. F. w. Hannah of Brooklyn, M Y. as preach CT, filled out the day for the conference attendants. The pleasant weather brought out large gatherings at all the services.
 Bishop Goodsell took as his text Col. 1:27: Which mystery is Christ in you, the hope or glory" He began by say ing that the common acceptance of the word mystery is something the origin of which, the movement of which and the cause of which we do not under stand. The New Testament uses 1t in the sense applied to Christ, Christ d mystery even to his mother" She, said the preacher, could not under stand him and being human was un- able to comprehend him because he was inspired with divinity He spoke of the development of Christ's life, of how Judas kissed him on the lips, of how Christ could have swept him in to eternity with a breath" yet &C., cepted the kiss which meant his be- trayal The significance of the var ious miracles wrought by Christ had for the present day a spiritual signi- ficance and could be repeated in the spiritual transformations and attitudes of men to-day. He referred to heredity and to illustrate his point cited the in- cident of Bishop Phillip Brooks, who said that he could not find a resem- blance between himself and contempor- aneous members of his family but did one day come across a group picture of ancestors, and among them saw a great-aunt, whom he resemblei. So, said Bishop Goodsell, men are supposed also to resemble spiritually their an- cestors.

 MT. Bryan paid the highest tribute to Lincoln as man, orator and states- man. "Lincoln's heart" he said, link ed him forever with the common people and to-day his life should be the great est inspiration to every young man" He said the nations greatest asset is its schools and colleges where the raw material is turned Into the finished product of the best citizenship in tho world
