MINISTER HAS
NO PASTORATE:
ENDS Ills LIFE

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Rev. Albert
H. Trick of Brooklyn committed sui
eide in the Mills hotel at Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirty street, this
city, today by shooting.
The reason given was that owing to
falling eyesight Mr.. Trick was unable
to support his two young sons.
He had held no regular pastorate Tor
several years
To his children the man had written:
II have gone to join mother"
His wife died fourteen years ago.
II have never been able to conquer
an inborn contempt for the place money
has in this world, though knowing so
well how absolutely a fair amount OF
it at least Is necessary to all or u.s. !
could never adapt myself, in view OF
my early ideas, to the methods by
which money is made. They are so
transparently selfish and more or less
unscrupulous, whether used by the
church or the so-called world
could never worship Americas trinity
success, pleasure and gold.
Il rejoice In the better day dawning
when society with its superStitions and
errors, like all the other religions of
men, shall have passed away and re-
liglon itself, free and simple-religion
that has a passion for truth, justice,
love and liberty, purity and humanity
shall prevail. Ye gods, what does
the church care for these things-for
truth, etc. 1t twists all the facts, phil
osophy and expressions Of liberty to
make them square with their petty
traditions and systems of a day. The
day viii soon come when the world
will prove that, sacred as the place
that Jesus holds in the worlds esteem,
they are no more bound by what He
taught, did and thought than they are

MARKETING COTTON.

Without yonturug an opinion as to
what is fair price for cotton this
year We heartily commend the plan
of the Farmers union for marketing
The crop gradually
ia the bread sense and in the final
analysis, the law Of supply and Dc
maud must control prices. But two
important factors are 10 be consid-
cred iu securing the logical market
price under this law. one is 10 have
accurate knowledge of the supply
and the demand and the other is to
so handle the supply as not to give
the appearance Of oycrproduction.
Both points are comprchcndcd IN
the unions plan.
II is true that The government re-.
ports reflect the supply. II the farm
crs can ascertain through an alert
and Intelligent agency just about how
much cotton the world will consume
they will have the most reliable In.
dnX to the fair price. Under some cir.
cumstancos. 2OOO,0OO-balc cotton
crop would be too much. and under
other circumstances too little. It is
easily conceivable that the extremes
of trade conditions might cause va
riaron OF 10 per cent or more than
a million bll,s in the actual demand.
without q knowledge Of those condi-
tious surplus might pc presumed
when 1t did not exist and prices
would fan far below real value. or
vice versa
The spinner Is sure to know with
approximate accuracy how much cot.
ton the farmer has produced. Now,
let the farmer strive to ascertain
with approximate accuracy how much
cotton the spinner wants. Then the
farmer will be on even terms with
the spinner
That point determined, II will re-.
main for the farmer to market his
crop gradually instead Of rushing It
to market before Christmas. The
spinner is not going to manufacture
It all in four months, ana there is
no good reason why the farmer
should sell it an in that time. Indeed
when he does SO he puts himself
at a distinct disadvantage. lie ere,
atcs the impression Of big crop, he
tcmuts the spinner to buy supplies
