We canrot agree with Tom
Watson that the farmers union
should adopt a platform. OF
course, it will be necessary from
time to time for the union to ask
for certain things, as any body
of citizens has the right to do,
but the moment it adopts a Sc
ries of demands or. a platform,
then it will be heralded abroad
as a political party, and will lose
its great influence for good, as a
non-partisan organization.

The Price of Cotton.

lle fapAQ decline In the price
of cotton during the past ten
days has caused much perturba-
ton in the minds Of many. Cot
ton almost always declines at
this period of the year when the
crop begins to move in earnest,
although the price last year re-
NAMED quite steady under the
liberal movement, and gradually
| progressed as the season advan-
ced. But it must be remembered
that at the beginning Of last sea-
son the price was little above 8
cents, while at the beginning Of
the present season it was Is
cents.
Evidently the reason for the
decline is found in the fact that
on the Atlantic coast cotton is
both early and plentiful this
year, and current prices being
too great a temptation to war
rant waiting for the Is cent
mark, the producers there seem
determined to take advantage of
the present price and supply the
spinners with as much cotton as
they will take at present figures.
1t remains to be seen whether
the project advocated by the
Farmers Associations of holding
the crop for Is cents will work.
1t is to be hoped that Is cent
cotton will be a reality this fall,
and we see no reason why it
should not be, provided the far
mers all stick together. In COM
menting on this subject, the
Southern Sentinel says in part:
The crop is chort and the spin
ners will bid for it. Everything
else is high, and why not put up
the price Of cotton, so farmers
can live and save a little surplus
for their loved ones? Farmers
will never be able to get what
they are justly entitled to have
out of their cotton crops until
there is a complete organization
of the bonded warehouse system.
First they must have it for the
purpose of protecting the cotton.
and next in order that they may
sell in bulk to the spinner direct
and cut out the middleman Or
Spectator, who coins into sordid
dollars the sweat of the toiling
masses and the tears of hungry
children. The price of spool
thread has been advanced twen-
ty-five per cent within the past
few weeks. Why? Not because
a high price was paid for the
raw cotton. Not because the
manufacturer was not making a
profit at the old price, but sim
ply because they knew the teem-
ing millions of the earth must
have thread and would pay the
advanced price because they had
to pay it, Here are the figures:
The average price paid for long
staple cotton in the South last
season was about Is cents per
pound or S125 per bale. One
pound of long staple cotton makes
Sc spools of thread which, at six
cents each, brings S5.76. Now
there you have it! The farmer
sells his pound Of long staple for
Is cents and buys it back for
$5,76 What h. sells for one
quarter he buys back for %
quarters. In other words he
pays the spinner and the spec
ulator S5.5l to spin a pound OF
cotton into thread. Now, it oc-
ours to the Sentinel that the
price paid for the raw cotton
could be doubled and the price
of cotton remain as it is and
still an enormous profit would be
made + 4 +

"Why, Father Benl," said the pretty

THE CASH BOY TALKS.


Say, boss remarked our cash boy
this morning, my paw is red hot for
minnesickle ownership. don't know
what that is, but paw says everybody
Is going to own everything and divide
up the profits. He was telling ma
about it last night
Ma asked him where the people
would get the money to buy those
things, rs they would cost millions of
dollars
Paw said, Issue bonds
Yes, said ma, but how will YOU
pay the bonds when they are due"
Issue more bondS.' said paw.
But how about the interest" said
ma. won you have To tax the people
for that
why, no" said paw. Pay the in
terest with bonds
81 don't see how you could do that

You don't, ch" replied paw Now.

wait until the minnicSiCklc ownership

to work. We will all be NandcrblltS.
Won't you be proud of your hubby
when he becomes part owner of all
public utilities? You see, madam, there
are some things you don't know
And then paw looked wise Ma
stood and gaZcd at him for some time

Yes, there are some thin@S don't

LONG LIVE THE EOcS!


Position lmpregn able.
referring to the recent announcement
that J1,146 persons are ON the payroll
of New York city. the Newark Adver-
tiscr declares that in the event of mu-
nicipal ownership of street RAILWAYS,
electric light and gas II ,uts. ferries and
other public utilities TIE city employees
would constitute Il political army that
would make a change of admnistra-
ton impossible
1t recalls the fact that 25,O0O city
employees in Philadelphia kept Phila-
dclpEia in the hands of the corrupt
Durham machine for years, and only
Il great popular uprising ovcrthrew tie
grafterS.
"lf Durham had had control of the
street railroads and other public utili-
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership" it observes. 'I.e could have
laughed at popular uprisngs. Uo
would have been as absolute in his a
th0rity as the car"
The point is we'll taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would be as it
would in Philadelphia ana New York
Bosses may be ovcrthrown and
graftcrS turned out whenever the pub
lie will it at present. Public ownership
of all public utilities would end this.
1t would bind the people hand and
foot and deliver them into the hands

Encounter with Paris Apaches.

5 In an article on the Apaches-the
highwaymen of Partisan English cor
respondent tells of an attack on anEng-
lishman in the streets of the French
capital Two Of the ruffians fell upon
the visitor. but with stout stick he
was able to render a good account of
himself until the arrival of the police
who happened to be only forty yards
away. One OF the policemen was i'm
mediately placed hors de combat by a
savage kick from the Apache. but the
other stoutly grappled with his man.
A night Waterman and a concierge
went to the assistance of the police,
and both footpads were carried off to
the police station, not however. before
the Englishman's hand was seriously
wounded in his endeavor to wrest a
file from his assailants. The file was
a particularly murderous instrument;
1t had been cut away to a fine point.
The other man carried a pair of seis-
sors. You know the object of that?"
the Englishman asked an interviewer.
IF an Apache has a pair of large scis-
sors in his pocket. he can not be ac-
eused of concealing arms, which car
ries with 1t a penalty; moreover, 1t
gives color to his contention that he
