t6H~ne cotton crop in Mississippi II
At least s3 Us per cent. on from the
promise OF July. This statement was
the summary Of the Governors OBJ
sersaiions made during = trip TO
the Delta country last week Item
izing the observations he made, Gov
ernor Vardaman declares that there
is no middle crop OF top crop, but
a fairly good bottom crop. ! saw
great many acres of the most fertile
land in the Delta that would make
a third of a bale OF cotton-some
of it that had not been we'll cultt-

TO four acres" In view OF the
gloomy crop prospect, Gov. Vardaman
advises the farmers of Mississippi

together. market the crop gradually
they can force as high a range OF
prices for this year as were pa'e
last year."

to teach our working people that men

Another Plea for Capitalization,
The strengthening OF the antitrust
law is demanded upon both moral and
economic grounds. Our purpose in
strengthening 1t is to secure more eff
fective control by the national gov
eminent over tho business use of tho
vast masses of Individual. and espe.
cially of corporate, wealth, which at
the present time monopolize most Of
the interstate business OF the coun-
try: and we believe the control can
best be exercised by preventing the
growth of abuses. rather than merely
by trying to destroy them when HEY
Nave already grown. In the highest
sense of the word this movement for
thorough control, of the business use
OF this great wealth is conservative.
We are trying to steer a safe middle
course. which alone can save lis from
a plutocratic class government on the
one hand. or sociallstic class gov
eminent on the other. either of which
would be fraught with disaster to our
free institutions, state and national.
We are trying to avoid alike the evils
which would flow from government
ownership of the public utilities by
which interstate commerce is chiefly
carried on. and the evils which low

In sane manner try to remedy this

When with steam and electricity
modern business conditions wens
through the astounding revolution
which in this country began over hair
century ago. there was at first much
hesitation as TO what particular gov
ornmental agency should be used to
graphic with the new conditions. Al
almost the same time. about twenty
years since, the effort was made to
control combinations by regulating
them through the interstate com.
merce commission. and to abolish
them by means of the antitrust act:
the two remedies therefore being I'm
part mutually incompatible. The In.
terstate commerce law has produced
admirable results. especially since II
was strengthened by the Hepburn law
two years ago. The antitrust law.
though 1t worked some good, because
anything is better Than anarchy and
complete absence OF regulation, nev.
erthe!oss has proved in many respect $
not merely inadequate but misch,ev.

corporate power mad produced almost
every conceivable form of abuse. and
had worked the gravest injury TO bus.

cases to restrain the state from exer-
clsing power which 1t was clearly
unconstitutional as we'll as unwise for
them TO exercise. but which neverthe.
less the national government itself
failed to exercise. Thus the corpora.
tons monopolizing commerce made
the law for themselves, state power
and common law being Inadequate to
accomplish any effective regulation.
