Back to the Issues.

This campaign hadn't reached the
stage of even threatened interest in
the issues, when Mr. Hearst quite I'M
expectedly tossed a tire-brand into the
magazine and set off the entire lot
of rockets. The country instantly sat
up TO watch the performance. 1t had
ten days of excitement. Now it is
showing disposition to settle back to
ennui. The question of whether Hearst
has some more hot ones, or of whether
Cubs OF Giants will win the pennant-
these are again coming upPermOst in
public thought.
There are only four weeks more of
the campaign, and it is only fair to
claim for the great issues involved in
1t a reasonable division of time with
the questions of the merits of the
league pitchers and the proprieties of
receiving gifts from Mr.. Archbold. Mr..
Hearst, who isn't running for Presi-
dent, even though he is running minor
party; Mr.. Haskell, who isn't running
anything, but is sitting very still; Mr..
Foraker, who is fast fading into a pa
thetic reminiscence-these gentlemen,
after all, are incidents, not issues.
The election ought to be decided on
the issues. The truth is that the coun-
try has had the smell of kerosene in
its nose so strong that it is fearful of
taking off the elothespin. But its
duty is to get back TO the issues, to
stop and consider what it IS going to
vote on, and how it will decide After
all, nobody approves stock market
bunco- steering, or acceptance of brides,
or the giving II them No possible
outcome of the election will indicate
popular approval of either the cor
rupter or his too willing victim.
But the country is concerned about
the issues. 1t is concerned about how
the tariff shall be revised, and whether
it shall be revised at all. 1t is con-
cerned to know whether constructive
craftsmanship or magniloquent VERDI
age shall dominate it administration
for the next four years.
Right now, instead Of getting down
10 the issues, the voters are invited
to excite themselves about bad smell,
or whether either national committee is
getting any real money. What's the
difference about the money, Mr.. Aver
age Voter? Did you ever get any OF
it? Did you ever realize that it even
influenced you? Your business is TO
decide, as a partner in this Govern
mental institution, on which side you
will align yourself

We Pause for a Reply.

As an incident TO its Founders Week,
Philadelphia is preparing to post 800
signs indicating the historical associa-
tions of certain spots within its Dor
ders. In about twenty-five instances
the present owners of the property,
which once had more patriotic tenants,
have refused to permit the legends to
be displayed. Wherefore, the thou
sands of visitors whom the City Of
Brotherly Love expects will pass by
ignorant of the association which has
given those twenty-five buildings their
extra interest.
Washington has likewise several hun
bred buildings about which history las
conferred some distinction. Among the
owners and tenants of those buildings
it is unlikely a single one could be
found who would object to a suitable
Specification of their history. Yet
save for a few dilapidated survivaIs of
the Roosevelt Inauguration or the G
A. R. eneampment of l9O2-none OF
them are marked.
Do we need a Founders Week? Must
such a contribution TO Washington
charm for the visitor be the fruit of q
special occasion? Is there not enough
enterprise locally either to wiring some
action out of Congress or to act on its
own resources?
As the old-fashioned orator would
say: We pause for reply. The pros
pect is that We will pause a mighty
long time.

The Place Washington Found.

Pittsburg is l5G years old, and the
inhabitants of the city are making
merry so far as the smoke will let
them. The parade that marked the
beginning of the celebration has served
to remind students of history that
Washington had much to do with the
foundation of the place, for in 1853,
when serving as commissioner to in
vestigate what the French were doing
along the Ohio, me stood upon the site
of Pittsburg and pronounced it Sex
tremely well situated for a fort"
Fort Pitt was the result, and Pitts
burg was the result of that Later,
after the wars, came the emigr1nts.
1t is deemed worthy of note in the
annals of the city that on April 3,
1888, there passed Pittsburg the May
flower, "the first boat with New Eng
land emigrants bound for the mouth
Of the Aluskingum." The manufacture
of glass, an industry destined to make
the name of Pittsburg famous through
out the country, began in 1895; the
first iron foundry, the forerunner of
the huge plants that nave made Pitts
burg so smoky and wealthy, followed
in 1904.
The celebration now going on ap-
pears to be doing full justice to the
historical and industrial glory of
PlttsbTg. The Daughters of the
American Revolution have dedicated a
tablet at the Block House. Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks attended to deliver
statistics on the growth OF the city's
commerce and population
But where is the Pittsburg Four
Hundred? Where are the gilded
youths that have been trying to paint
the whole world red? And the ladies
who give swimming parties in their
'palatial" homes? The celebration is
sane and sober in every respect, as
becomes a thriving and still promising
community Perhaps after all, even
in spite of Mr. Sinclair's Metropolis
some of these stories about Babylonian
life on the banks Of the Monongahela
are overdrawn.

The Peoples Cotton Bill.

Sometimes statistics are Of general
interest. For instance, there is the
subject of cotton. Almost everyone
uses cotton in some form. Probably
a good many people, noting the up
ward tendency of prices, have won
dered how the expenses and profits
are divided. One of the speakers at
the convention of the National AssO-
citation of Cotton Manufacturers at
Saratoga this week took up the sub
ject.
On basis of 100000 population,
he stated, cotton costs every man,
woman, and child in the country
$3.50 a year, or, piling all the sales
together, a round billion dollars. OF
this billion, about % per cent goes to
the farmer and the factor who gets
the raw product TO the mill; about p
per cent goes to the manufacturer, who
pays pretty high for oils, starch, dye
stufTs, labor, and the like, but never
theless manages TO squeeze out rather
handsome dividends now and then; and
the remaining 30 per cent of the billion
dollars that cotton costs the people
every year is divided between the com
mission house, the jobber, and the re-
taller
The commission house business is
said TO have undergone an economical
reform in recent years; also, that the
iobber Is content with small returns
but, on the other hand, the expenses
been increasing 1t is estimated that
the retailers get fully SO l-3 per cent
of the Sl,OOO,OOO,OOO the American PEG
pie pay annually for domestic cotton
But it should be considered that the
retailers expenses are more likely to
increase than to decrease from year
to year.
Doubtless few of us think much
about the waste of time and labor that
goes on, with no means of stopping It
in the big stores. We ought to think
now and then of the person who take;
an hour to buy a yard of cloth-or
perhaps. to decide that some other day
viii do for the purchase
On the other hand, the plea is made
that the $3.50 per capita the manufac
turer receives is modest compensation
considering his expenses and risk
Nothing is said about the farmer, bur
we assume that he is satisfied with hi
quarter of a billion dollars return OF
his investment. As for the people, they
