THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

ANU
In a campaign speech several days

the magnates of the steel trust were
supporting the Republican presiden'

from prosecution this concern has
enjoyed under the present admins

occurred to many people as inexpi'-
cable why the department OF justice
at Washington persistently ignored

he will prosecute It.

Wealth In Cotton.
philadelphia Press.)

A Mississippi Congressman saws If the
South produced 20. 900, 900 bales of cot
ton the price would fall to five cents a
pound, and thus bring ruin to that en-
tire section of the United States. For
this reason large immigration of cheap
labor is opposed. With a growth of
only u, 600, 900 bales of cotton the price
can be kept at from 10 to l2 cents a
pound.
We wonder if this is good logic, after
all. Cotton is real solid wealth. 1t ac-
tuaily creates money where none exist
ed before. Is it possible to produce too
much wealth out of mother earth?
Only few years ago America har-
vested only 1900. 600, coo bushels Of
corn. Now the crop reaches 2, 500, OOO.-
600 bushels. Has the addition of that
extra 1000, 0O0,O 600 bushels brought
wealth or misfortune to the farmers
who raise the corn? The price of the
grain is undoubtedly less than if only
1,500, 900, 900 bushels were now grown.
but every farmer would prefer the big
than little crops with big price.
Would not the same sequel follow a
20, $1,000 bale cotton crop? Cheap corn
and wheat due to big harvests benefit the
consumers everywhere, and why should
not cheap cotton, if the result of a
greater yield, which would be blessing
to mankind all over the world, also add
new wealth to the South?
We do not believe that the South can
ever grow so much cotton that it will
hurt the South. On the contrary, ow-
ing to its cheapness, the demand for
that almost universal necessity would
surely increase with the yield. While
the profit on each bale would be smaller
the people of the Southern States would
be enriched by having a vastly greater
traffic for their railroads. The overturn
OF a big business at a lesser profit is
surely better for any community than
the overturn of a small business at a
big profit.
The whole United States is immense
lyb enefitted by the South's cotton crop,
so that the entire country is vitality in
terested in the size of it. But we can
not share the fears of those who believe
the States which are fortunate enough
to grow cotton can ever grow too much.
any more than the West can grow too
much wheat and corn.

Surplus.
philadelphia Press.)

The word surplus as applied to a cor
poration means only confusion to the
minds Of a good many people. They
know that banks surplus is cash, or
something which can be very readily
converted into cash. The mistakes and
confusion come when they think that a
railroad or industrial plants surplus is
also money or an equally quick asset.
If an individual ten years ago saved
500 from his $1,000 salary and spent
$50 of it in painting his house or buying
his wife a fur coat, he would today
hardly think of that money as surplus.
The other $50 which he put in bank or
invested in security he would count as
surplus. After a decade the paint would
have vanished or the coat be worn out.
Many corporations still carry under
the head of surplus money which was
spent years ago for minor improvements
and which long since have disappeared.
These things were once an asset, but
they can hardly be counted as such to-
day. Thus we see companies having on
paper big surplus, but which in reality
are overwhelmed with debts.
There ought to be clear-cut distinc
ton between a real available surplus
and something that was once an asset,
but may no longer be such. 1t would be
an easy enough matter for any corpora
ton to classify expenditures so as to
leave the minds of stockholders perfect
ly clear as to the precise state of its f.
nances. Nor do we believe that this
would be any hardship to the compan-
les, and certainly not to the vast major
ity of them, which can only benefit by
the freest publicity of their doings.

VERY GRATIFYING.
readers.

A Washington special says that a
Democratic senatorial conference, after
discussing the Bailey currency bill for
hours, made it plain that there was no
chance of harmonizing the widely differ
ent views of what a Democratic meas
ure should be. 1t is not very fiattering
to Democracy that its senators cannot
evolve a plain businesslike, common
sense plan of banking and currency re-
torm-that it hasn't a senator equal to
the demand which the financial expert
ence of other nations demonstrates can
be met. But it is gratifying to know
that the senators did not harmonic on
the Bailey scheme, which is first cousin
to greenbackism, hardly one degree re-
moved.-Richmond News Leader.
1t should be very gratifying to all the
people to know that the Democratic
Senators could not harmonic on a cur
rency bill. Their failure to agree shows
that some of them are beginning to
think intelligently on the currency ques-
ton. The past history of the Demo-
cratic party has proved that it was not
capable of evolving "a plain business
like, common-sense plan of banking and
currency" In the early history of the
party it was the founder of the State
banking plan which furnished the most
unsatisfactory currency this country
has ever tried. Since the late Civil War
the Democracy has been unable to
evolve anything in the way of currency
reform, except greenbackism and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
ratio of sixteen to one. First the Fed
eralists, then the Wings and now the
Republicans have been the only parties
that have shown any capacity for con-
structing sound financial policy fol
the country.

Rhea Investigation.
(Staunton Leader.)

With Governor Swanson and Hon.
Henry c. Stuart, the retiring Corpora
ton Commission, on the stand Monday
night the Rhea investigation at Rich
mond took on a more serious turn than
the defense had anticipated. The Gov
ernor praised Judge Rhea very highly.
but Mr.. Stuart, though very unwilling
witness, put crimp in his ambitions
that his partisans will find it very diff
cult to cover with whitewash. An effort
was made to exclude the testimony of
Mr.. Stuart, who is from Mr.. Rhea's
district, and who is considered one of
really big men of the State. The com
mlttee was almost evenly divided on
the admission of his evidence. but final
ly Mr.. Stuart's testimony was admitted.
he put new phase on the political
crookedness in the Ninth District. and
showed plainly that he was not in SYM
patty with the political tricksters who
endeavor to desecrate the ballot under
the guise of Democracy or any other
party, for their own emolument. The
negro can no longer be used in extenua-
ton Of stealing elections in Southwest

NoASh AliuSS-RSRlSJer.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
investigation now being made by a COM
mittee of the Legislature of the charges
preferred by the Republican members
against Judge Rhea, whose confirmation
as member of the State Corporation
Commission they are endeavoring to
thwart, we cannot help feeling that his
appointment by the Governor was an
unfortunate one. The charges may fail
to be substantiated, in which event the
Legislature will, of course, confirm the
appointment. When that is done we
believe that the greatest service Judge
Rhea could render his party would be to
hand back his commission to the Gov
ernor, whose loyalty to him during this
trying ordeal is a splendid example of
personal friendship and steadfastness of
purpose on his part.
