AS the foreign delegates told of
their losses of years, the American
growers were, many of them, amaz-
ed. They were shown photographs
of pyramids Of American cotton on
the piers at Liverpool, broken, soiled
and crushed. The remedy, it was
said, lies in gin COMPRISING and I'M
form bailing. and the Americans
were made to see where an enor-
nous saving lies in adopting the
Egyptian method of bailing advoca-
ted by the visitors.
In reply, the Americans said they
have been told by the compress own
ers that the foreign spinners would
not receive the gin-compressed cot
ton. This the foreign spinnres de-
MED, and said they preferred the gin
compressed cotton if it was properly
packed. Now that the farmers know
exactly what the spinners prefer,
they should make an effort to fur
nish it. Especially so, as it would
enhance the worth of the cotton crop
of the South several millions of dol.
lars. The old compress people will die
hard, but as they have outlived their
usefulness it would be a good rid
ance, and the quicker they go the
better.

A Gloomy Outlook.

Both the religious and the secular
press are taking gloomy outlook
regarding religious prospects. just
at present they are concerned over
the decreasing number of iclergymen
and their rapidly diminishing salar-
les. One paper goes so far as to say
that, men cannot be expected to de-
vote their lives to the ministry when
remuneration is insufficient to pro-
vide comfortable living. The average
salary of clergymen in the United
States is a little more than $500 a
year.
The Chicago Tribune has been in
vestigating the situation with spec
ial reference to the Methodist church.
some Of it's discoveries are sufficient
to warrant the concern now being
felt. In the Des Moines conference,
for instance, 81 of the 217 pulpits
are vacant because Of insufficient
salaries. In the Indiana conference
living has increased 40 per cent. in
the last few years, while there has
been less than 10 per cent. increase
in salaries.
In the Wisconsin conference 20
pastors receive less than $4OO a year,
and several of them have to preach
in two places at that. In this con-
ference there has been q decrease OF
20 per cent. in salaries during the
last 35 years, while the cost of living
has increased so per cent. Other IL
Illustrations might be cited, but these
are. sufficient to show that the situa-
ton is not such as to be inviting no
matter how desirous men may be of
engaging in the ministry. Besides
the cost of living, there are other
demands on the income of clergymen
which have to be made in the course
of their administration.
What is true of the Methodist
church is also true of other denomi-
nations, and the situation is not so
much reflection on clergymen as 1T
is on church members and the gen.
eral public. 1t is fact that the re-
straining influences of the church are
not appreciated as they once were,
and TIE prospect is that, unless there
shall be increased interest in relig-
ious matters, the people will pay
dearly for failure properly to support
the church.

Stealing Bryan's Thunder.

IF some one does not head off
President Roosevelt there will soon
be no platform left for Democracy
to stand on in the approaching ma
tional campaign" says the Augusta
Chronicle, which cannot be classed
as a Bryan partizan. This is liter
ally true. The Chronicle then goes
on to say:
"Time was when there was as
much difference between the meas
ures adv ocated by the Democrats
and the Republicans as there is be-
tween the poles. But that was be-
fore Roosevelt trimmed his sails
and went flying over the seas OF
popular disapproval into the waters
that had been opened up by Mr..
Bryan.
The Nebraskan discovered all the
planks now groaning under the
tread of the Sage Of Oyster Bay
and his balloon d'essai, the peace
maker. Bryan has cried out against
this plagiarism, to use a mild term,
but his agonized pleadings have had
no effect on the heart of the Rough
Rider. A platform must be had
that will meet the approval of the
people and as Bryan seemed to have
it, then from Bryan it must be
taken. And that it has been, there
can no longer be any doubt. Z
Mr.. Bryan, we believe would be
perfectly willing for Roosevelt to
steal his thunder if he would make
use of it for the benefit of the peo-
pie. But this Roosevelt does not do.
He uses Bryon's platform to get in
office and make him popular with
the people, but he does not attempt
to enforce any of the good ideas ne
purloins from Bryan. Roosevelt
makes great pretentions about what
he is going to do but its all talk.
He has no idea Of hurting a single
trust. they put up two much mon
ey to elect him to be hurt by him.
Bryan's ideas are all good, but
thew need a man behind them liko
himself to make them of any bene-
fit to the people, and we hope next
year they will commission him to
put them in execution. Roosevelt
is a talAer while Bryan is doer OF
things. Roosevelt is under obliga-
tions to the trusts for campaign
contributions, and consequently will
not hurt them. On the other hand
Bryan is free from entangling alll-
ances with trusts or any other mon
ey power, and would be in position
to enforce the law impartially. Bry-
an should be given the chance to car
ry out his own platform.

Growing and Handling Cotton.

In the Cotton Spinners and Grow
ers Convention at Atlanta last week
discussion on the subjects of bet
ter cotton, through seed selection,
improved ginning and COMPRISING
and uniformity of bales, brought out
that the losses to foreign sp;nners
from faulty bailing and damage in
transportation are so enormous that
steps have been taken by the spin
ners to increase the output of for
eign fields, to the jeopardy of the
American expert trade of raw cot
ton.
