The Southern Cotton association
has petitioned for a fraud order
against the New York Cotton Elk
change, on the ground that it deals in
futures without the ability or inten-
tion to make deliveries, and that 1t
uses the mails to convey false inform
alton designed to iniure the genuine
spot cotton trade and further the ends
of its own gamblers. The charges
are serious and If the association can
substantiate them, the postoffice de-
partment should deprive the exchange
of the privilege of the mails. Gamb-
lers whether with stocks, cards or
dice are entitled to no considerations;
but when the former actually dare to
Interfere with the welfare of legiti.
mate trade, it is time for drastic
OF course, the association
is inclined to favor New Orleans to
New York for natural reasons and is
liable to prejudice in the case, but the
postoffice department is not, and may
be relied on to act justly in the mat
ter.

The fact that President Corey. of

shows what a nice appreciation Pitts

QUESTION OF LEApERsHIP.


Taft's lack of availability is
to be found in the attitude of
the party organization in his
: own state. lie has never been a
- - nl-aetit.ess politician. He has
shown nothing like the capacity
for manipulating the machine
exhibited in Mr.. Roosevelt's ca
reer in New York state affairs.
He is antagonized by the recog-
nized leaders Of the party organ
ization in Ohio and no Republic
can has ever been nominated
for the presidency over the pro-
test of his own state. But what
now appears to be Taft's chief
weakness may ultimately be-
come a source of great strength.
Lexington Herald.
It is even so, as the astute editor
of the Herald has said, and backed
by the force Of the administration
which has ever moved in a course
contrary to the prescribed direction;
in political guide books, we may con.
slider the closing suggestion a proph-
esy. Always bearing in mind the pos.
slbility of unforeseen exigencies in
politics, we may expect the admins
tration's first move in the campaign,
provided Taft is the real candidate,
to be a test to ascertain whether the
persons opposing Taft in Ohio are
zeal leaders. A leader, we assume, is
one who leads. and Congressman
Burton. of Cleveland; Secretary Taft,
of Cincinnati; Mayor Brand Whit
lock. of Toledo, and the press of the
state are disposed to question the
right Of anyone to the title of leader.

zone of the marked characters
tics of the British house is the sharp
line of distinction drawn between the
employer and the employe. There
is a Great gulf fixed between the two.
In America the merchant feels that
the closer he is to his employees, and
to the department heads which SUI
pervise their work, the more valuable
may be the employees services. In
this manner the business become a
school for the production of business
heads in agreat house. In London
the possibility of such a condition is
least considered. The employee is an
employee; the heads of a house are
the employers of persons hired to do
a fixed duty. Suggestions born of
