Cotton and Prosperity
philadelphia Record.)

The last five cotton crops have been
worth for the lint alone a little less
than three billion dollars. Ten years
ago five crops were worth less than
billion and half. In a decade the
value of the cotton crop has almost
exactly doubled, comparing not sin
gle years, but periods of five years
each. This is a greater gain than
any other crop can show. Although
the South is expanding its CONNER
cial interests in every direction, this
increase of the value of the one
great money crop is the chief cause
of the Astounding prosperity of that
section
But the value of the lint is far from
being the whole value of the cotton
crop Last year the cotton was
worth $619,000,000, and the seed was
worth 100000. In the past five
years the seed has been worth $419.-
100000. 1t is not many years since
the seed was mere waste. A little was
fed to stock and a little was spread
on the ground for fertilizer, but far
the greater part of the seed was worse
than waste; it put the planters to
some trouble to get rid of it.
Commercially the seed had no
value before 1870. 1t had very little
for many years after that. Not till
1882 did the amount of cotton oil
produced reach 100000 gallons. Not
till 1894 did it exceed 100000 gall
Ions. Last year it exceeded It's, 0OO.-
600 gallons, and nearly two million
tons of cake and meal were produced.
These are among the most valuable
foods for cattle The value of cotton
oil exported has exceeded ten million
dollars in every year from 1898,
and last year it reached $4,000, 900.
The cake and meal exported last
year was also worth $17000,00O, and
two-thirds of the cake and meal is
consumed in this country. The utili-
cation of the seed has led to saving
the lint which is not removed from
the seed in the ordinary process of
ginning, so that considerable amount
of cotton is saved that went to waste

INTEREST IN AMERICAN POLITICS

kilograms from abroad show that
an unusual interest was manifested
in the Chicago convention, the for
eign papers giving considerable space
to details of the speeches and the
proceedings of the convention in gen
eral. The same will be true, al
though perhaps in a less measure.
when the democratic hosts gather
at Denver. Rooseyelt's and Taft's
personality, and their participation
in world wide politics in the past
few years, have naturally created
greater interest in them than is felt
in Mr.. Bryans foreign trip though
the latter's foreign trip made him to
public men in Europe
1t has not been many years since
American politics were, outside of a
very limited circle, regarded with
Indifference. The Spanish-American
war, with our retention of the Philip
pines as a result, changed this and
today American political develop
ments are watched and followed with
great interest among the educated
classes throughout Europe.
Referring TO this change in for
eign attitude, the New York World
says:
For a hundred years after Wash
ington our Presidents failed to i'm
press the imagination of Europe. JEFF
ferson's name was known in England
and France, Jackson's in England at
least; Monroe's became tardily link
ed with his doctrine of American i'm
munity from aggression. The names
of Lincoln and Grant were known
over Europe but scarcely penetrated
the East
The world knew almost as little
of the President in the day of Fill
more or Pierce, Hayes or Arthur, as
today it knows of the President of
Peru. Mr.. Clevelnad was talked
about abroad not because of his
brave home administration but the one
international blunder of his term,
the Venezuelan cessage.
Things have changed greatly in
the last decade. Mr. Roosevelts per-
suitably d1u pO1lllCS are more QlS-
cussed abroad than Lincoln's-almost
as much as the Kaiser's. The Lon
don papers devote columns to the
Republican Convention and it's can
didate. Germany expresses satisfac-
ton with the nomination. Paris
praises Taft but has qualms about i'm
peralism. The nomination is well re-
ceived in Rome.
The Filipinos, according to Man
liza dispatch, hail with delight, the
nomination of their great and good
friend, and Japan, sealed so lately
against outside influence, receives
the news with qualification because
of the popularity of Mr.. Taft" Truly
the world grows smaller as America
grows big.

President Andy Johnson.
Washington Post.)

A lawyer Of Memphis has written a
crazy book about John Wilkes Booth
in which he makes the silly statement
that the assassin of Lincoln was never
captured, but lived till 1903, and then
committed suicide in Mexico. This
foolishness is not at all original, for
in 1868 Brick" Pomeroy insisted on
the nomination of Booth for Vice
President by the Democratic national
convention, asserting that the assas-
sin was then sound and we'll and

This book of the Memphis lawyer
parades the infamous story for the
Johnson was priyy to Booths insane
act and doubtless there are Writings
to believe it.
Only the other day a leading Amer
lean newspaper spoke Of Johnsons
I bibulous appetites as though it sup
nQsed that the seventeenth President
of the United States was an habitual
drunkard 1t is unfortunately true
that Johnson sometimes took cup
too much, for he was a man who
could make more reputation for
/, conViViality upon the consumption of
a gallon than many a man upon the
consumption of a barrel.
Lately retired statesman with an
imagination as eXuberant as water
woodland az Worthless-wrote a
book dealing conspicuOusly with An
dy Johnson, and laid against him the
charge of personal cowardice. His
torian has rarely given truth more
brazen defiance.
In 1861 Johnson faced a hostile au-
dience in Tennessee, speaking for the
Union. 1t was time of passion and
of force. Many there would have
gloated over his dead body, and hun
dreds jeered him and threatened him.
Suddenly pistol was discharged and
all was confusion, save the GOODNESS
of the orator. Sitting the gesture to
the word Johnson, as calm as a May
morn said: These eyes have yet to
look on the man this heart fears"
Every man there knew he spoke
truth, and thus he commanded res
pect and got a hearing.
Johnson had his faults, but he was
a patriot and entirely devoted to the
Constitution. His last request was to
be enshrouded in the flag he loved
so we'll and that he had risked otsra-
cism to defend
William s. Groesbeck pictured the
Andrew Johnson as history will hand
him down when he made that grand
peroration of his speech In the
impeachment trial.

EX-PAST0R RAN
AMUCK:: WAS SHOT
Mania for Shooting Brought
Ills End.

Hermann Mo-, June 23.-The Rev.
Valentine Strauss, eX-pastor of the
German Evangelical Church at Sto-
pie, Mo, was shot and killed by some
of his parishioners yesterday during
a recurrence of homicidal mania
from which he has suffered for two
months. He recovered his sanity for
a brief period before he died, and for
gave the men who killed him.
1t had been his habit since the dis
ease came upon him to roam the
country at night armed with a shot
gun and rifle, and to shoot prOmis
cuously at whoever he saw. His wife
at such times has been in the habit
of running ahead Of him. warning
the villagers and others that he was
suffering from an acute attack of his
malady, so that they might protect
themselves against him.
Yesterday, when he started from
his home at Stople, fourteen miles
southwest of here, for Fredericks-
burg, three miles from here, with in
tent to kill, his wife ran before him
shouting a warning to neighbors.
At the blacksmith shop of Max
Knieche, where the tragedy occurred,
she was but few hundred feet in
front of her husband. She shouted a
warning to the men in the shop as
Strauss turned and fired at her. Then
he turned his rifle on Kniche. Again
he missed
Kneiche and dozen armed men
who were in the forge with him ran
forward toward the minister, who
was again preparing to fire. Some
of the men fired at him.
Although mortally wounded, he
staggered across the roadway into
a pasture and sank under large
oak tree, where he had held his first
religious services in Gasconade coun-
ty. He said a few words to his
wife, and then turned his eyes to the
bare-headed men kneeling about him,
with the still smoking guns by their
sides. He forgave them and died
Mr.. Strauss was 40 years old, and
had been in Gasconade county for
fifteen years, most of the time as pas
tor of the German Evangelical church
at Stople.
! When his mind weakened and he
was relieved from his pastorate, he
ordered rifles and shotguns from st.
Louis, and Sheriff Strack found his
house was a regular arsenal when he
went there today. There was a dozen
weapons and hundreds of cartridges
in his study.
Last Thursday Deputy Sheriff
Charles Germann and Morris G. Num-
brauer went to the home of the min
lister in an effort to capture him
and have him examined by lunacy
commission. He appeared at the door
with a rifle. By his side was table
with three more guns and several
boxes of cartridges.

MIXTURE TO DESTROY
PESTIFEROUS HOUSE FLY

PARIS, June 23.-Dr. Delamarre
an eminent army surgeon, has just
published the result of his investiga-
tons concerning the contagion- bear
ing qualities of the ordinary house
fly. Without hesitation he condemns
that familiar insect to death. He
points out that numerous plans for
executing this sentence have been
evolved by scientists of all times
and every country, but flies are APP
parently as numerous as ever.
He suggests a mixture composed OF
one part formol to nine parts of wa
ter. This may be put in ordinary
plates and placed wherever flies are
likely to congregate. Twenty-four
hours later, says the doctor, not only
the plates themselves, but a con
siderable space around them. will
be covered by flies and mosquitoes
which the mixture and emanations
from the mixture have poisoned. The
insects are attracted by the solution
as though it were sugar To be
perfectly effective it should be chang
ed every twenty-four hours.
DR.. Delamarre says that he has
been using this insecticide in the
hospitals under his control for the
past ten years and has never known
it to fail. In a single room contain
ing 521 cubic meters there were killed
during one summer an average of
1000 flies a day.
DIR. Delamarre's suggestion is par
ticularly welcome in Paris, for dur
ing the past few years mosquitoes
before practically unknown here.
have shown a great aptitude for be-
coming acclimated.

CUTTING DOWN NEGRO REPRES.
ENTATI0N.

No one questions the devotion of
the Springfield Republican to the
negro. 1t has read the South many a
severe lesson on it's alleged mis-
treatment of the race, lectures rest
ing on alleged information of a re-
liable nature, but rooted in the pre-
iudice and phariseeism that marks
the average New England yankee in
his attitude toward this section.
But even the Springfield Republican
sees the rottenness of the republican
system in this section which enables
a few white office holders, acting un-
der the whip and spur from Wash
ington. to corral the delegates from
the southern states and deliver them
to the administration candidate, as
was done in the case of Taft II
realizes the gross injustice of this
to the real backbone of the party
the great voting strength of the north
and west. Hence it expresses strong
sympathy for the movement at the
Chicago convention to limit the vot-
ing strength in future conventions Of
the party to the actual voting strength
as shown at the last presidential ell
| ectfon. This would hold down the
negro representation and lessen il
some measure the evil of a large mum
| Der of delegates representing nothing
but office holders and Doodle. The
| Republican believes this sentimen
will grow and that four years hence
an end will be put to the old system
under which a black horde poured
| into the national conventions, repre-
senting nothing of any value to thu
party but holding a balance of powe1
| that has frequently been diScreditabl!
| used
The Republican points out that thu
defeat of the movement at Chicago
was so close that it really became ;
moral victory. Says it:
After this test no one can doub
that, on the simple merits of the ques
ton itself, a large majority of tn
delegates favored the change for il
spite of the sharp opposition of tn
Taft managers the advocates of tn
new scheme were defeated by tn
very narrow margin of only 80 votes
A change OF Is votes would hav
carried the proposal. The Obi
| delegation alone could have done this
but Ohio refused to align itself witt
the great majority of the northern
states and supported the solid sou
thern delegation in defence of thei
present representation. The resul
confirms the original expectations
but the vote was so close that tn
moral victory would seem to b
with the advocates of the change
and in some future convention sucl
a change must now appear sure to b
brought about.

DOOLRY ON OUR PARTY

Our old friend Doeley has broken
loose again. This time he has ideals
with the Democratic party. As us
ual Mr.. Dooley says things that are
true. and some things that are only
half-true in a way that makes one
laugh and even while it stings.
there is good humored philosophy
mixed up with biting sarcasm. 1t
is hard to repel Mr.. Dooley's method
of attacking, for Mr.. Dooley has
bright smile and a genial clasp of
the hand even while his soft and
gentle voice is rasping the nervous
system with an analysis or diagnosis
that is too near the facts to be en-
tirely pleasant.
But here is what our old friend has
to say about the party of our dad
dies We will smile over it, but some
how we wish there were some things
that he says that he couldn't find any
basis for saying:
ut takes all kinds iv men to make
up tn Dimmycratic party, an thin

Being a Useful Husband.
(Atchison Globe.)

Now and then the Globe mentions
the case of some husband who occa-
sionally gets up and gets breakfast
allowing his wife to rest while he
prepares the meal In this respect
Robert Handke, of Walnut township,
is the most faithful example that the
writer of this is able to find. Getting
breakfast belongs to Mr. Handke's
regular routine of daily work, and
Mrs. Handke admits that she has
prepared only one morning meal dur
ing their ten years of married life.
Mr.. Handke is said to be a good
cook, too, and does not get breakfast
because he has to, but because he
likes to cook, because he likes to
get up early, and above all, be-
cause he has good wife and wants
to treat her right.
