A Hint for Cry
Baby Railroads.

1t is a melancholy admission
made by the president of a great
railroad in his annual report,
that both political parties seem
minded to make the "sins of the
railroads" a leading issue in the
campaign. 1t implies that the
issue is a very popular one.
Probably not one voter in a
hundred is really sensible of any
injury to himself arising from
freight rates that are either too
high or discriminatory. Who,
buying a gallon of oil, ever con-
siders that he might have got
ten it a little cheaper if rebates
had not crushed competition d?
Who, selling a steer or pig, is
aware of the part played by
railroad charges in fixing the
price?
Railroad rates, we mean,
touch the great mass of the peo-
pie in an indirect way; not in a
way to arouse warm resent
ment. Generally, the individuals
direct experience of railroad
rates is rather favorable. He
pays a dollar to have a crate of
goods hauled a long distance, or
goes on, an excursion at a cent
and a half a mile.
But if you start the subject of
railroads in almost any typical
gathering of common people you
at once begin to hear stories of
mean and arbitrary usage-of
the package lost in transit
which the carrier would not set
tie for except at its own price
and its own sweet will; of the
grumpy employe; of the appeal
to reason which is met by a top
lofty and conclusive statement
that the company's rule is So
and-so. The railroad appears
to the average man as an all
powerful autocrat.
Ii we were absolute king we
should try to be exceedingly DO
lite, to appear always the most
sweet tempered, open and rea-
sonable of beings. Then we

Paying the Military Piper

1t seemst hat we haven't any
army to speak of. The ranks
too meagre even with their pre-
scribed complement of men,
are nowhere near full. A cor
poraPs guard oes duty for a
company, a regiment is about as
numerous as a company should
be, and the muster of a brigade
could be held comfortably in a
town hall. At long intervals,
upon our vast coast line, a big
gun or two frowns lonesomely
above Anticipated and ill-man-
ned battlements, and we must
cherish our scanty ammunition
as a small boy does his last
bunch of fire crackers on a
Fourth of July afternoon.
Y Some military authorities, it
isl true, take a rather more
cheerful view; yet our scandal
-lous baroness on the military
side is universally conceded.
I'D 1t must be so. But we Won
sder what has become of the
money. In the eight years since
the close Of the Spanish-Ameri-
ncan War we have spent on the
War Department nearly thou
: sand million dollars, or over 80
per cent of our total War De
npartment expenditures in the 28
: years from 1869 to 1898. Ex-
Guiding river and harbor i'm
provements, War Department
expenditures in the eight years
still top eight hundred millions.
In the last five years, including
river and harbor improvements,
they amount to about two-thirds
of the War Department expendi-
lures of England.
III This is good deal Of money.
The eight hundred millions, ex-
Guiding river and harbor i'm
provements, that has been spent
% on the War Department in eight
years would have paid the cost
of instruction in all the public
schools of the United States for
the five years 1901-5. AT least
we should have a corking good
) military band to show for all
this. Ds9 8f

Cotton Crop
Shortage.

j. A. Taylor, president of the
National Ginners' Association,
has issued a circular to the gin
ners in which he says:
"Your reports show that there
has been ginned 10,952,000 bales
up to February &c. And you es-
innate that there are yet $4,000
bales to be ginned, making a to-
tai of 10,918,000 bales. There
will be about 100000 bales of
linters, and about $4,000 bales
city crop, making a total of ILL.,
.263,000 bales, the commercial
crop, if it is marketed freely, as
usually has been for the past
two years.
The indications are now that
there will be probably 100000
bales of linters carried over, as
there is no demand for them. 1t
is also apparent from your re-
ports that a large amount OF cot
ton stored in warehouses will
Is cents will be carried over I'M
less very much higher prices
prices come before September 1.
This makes the shortage on the
crop over 2,250,000 bales COM
pared with last year. The India
crop is now considered short l.
100000 bales, so that the supply
from now until the new crop
comes on will be very short, and
every bale will be needed. So it
is up to the farmers who hold
the balance of the crop. If they
stick together and hold a few
thousand bales off the market
until July 1 | feel very sure that
they will be paid for their
trouble.
The trade has been rather
poor, but is improving right
along, and if it continues to i'm
prove it will not be long until
the spinners will have to run on
full time. So far the weather
has been favorable for farm
work in Texas and Oklahoma.
But in the other States there has
been too much rain, and very lit
tie farm work has been done. If
the weather does not improve in
that section soon it means an
other late crop. On my recent
trip to Texas and Louisiana II
found the weather has been very
favorable to the boil wevils and
they have coem through in good
shape, and chances are very
much against even an average
crop in the weevil districts of
Texas and Oklahoma, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi.
This is our last report for this
season, and 1 thank you all for
your promptness and correct
ness in reporting this season. l
feel very proud of your years
work, and especially our report
on the total crop on November
l. Our estimate was 11,123, 900
bales, not including linters. On
December l it was 10,662,000
bales, and now it seems that both
figures are very close to the ac-
tual crop. I feel very sure that
we, shall be able to do even better
than this next year, as have
more confidence in the system
now.

Washington, April 29.--On Sunday.
April 10, President Roosevelt signed the
widows pension bill, which proyide
for greatly extending the number of

the reason is that, as would seem to be
