A great man has said that the hab-

a year. This is true not only in a
financial way, it is true of ones own
enjoyment of life and also OF the
worth of ones life to others. A glad
heart gets UNNECESSARILY more ont of

day brings its benedictiOns. II II Is

and of Thanksgiving. Let Us learn to

RoosEvELT's VIEW AS TO THE
NAVY,

An article which is announced to
appear In the forthcoming number oil
n monthly magazine will be READ
with acute inter, st by everyone inter
ested In the strengthening Of the
country's naval defense.
Recent dispatches. from Washing
ton and other points have tended TO
create the impression that practically
every question appertaining to the
naval establishment had been amicab-
" and definitely settled at the New
port naval conference few months
ago. DOUBTLESS this is true so far
as technicalities OF design and con-
struction OF warships are concerned,
but some doubt exists as to whether
the facts have been publicly disclos-
ed as to the determination reached
on these points.
This subject. however. Is not touch
ed upon In the article in question.
The writer is Mr. Henry Reuterdahi.
who became noted year or so ago
because Of his criticisms OF the gov
eminent naval architects and board
of construction at Washington.
Mr.. ReuterGahl has recently been
In conference with President Roose-
welt and his contribution purports to
reflect the executives views with re-
gard to the Increase CT the United
States naval forces and changes in
the administration OF the service.
He quotes the President as follows:
Il have from time to time recon-
mended the reorganization Of the navy
department. 1t Is absolutely neces-
sary. and We will work and work IN
al We get It, and we shall get it,"
Mr.. Reuterdahl declares that the
President Is alive to the necessity for
maintaining a strong feet in each
ocean, and that the COMMANDMENT
chief favors younger men for COM
mand grades.
HE believes implicitly" the writer
goes on, that We must learn what
preparedness means-we need sub
marines. iestroyers, and Golfers, and,
10 far as auxiliaries are concerned.
the President thinks the feet is still
deficient. He says again that We
must replace the old ships with new
ones when they are worn out and
that We must keep the ships In con-
tfnuous training. and above all. our
men must be kept interested and hap
py, because II they are not they DO
net work weIl.''
The assurance that the Presiden, Is
alcrt to the pressing need Of an ef-
Acicnt feet In the Pacific should b.
regarded as the salient point set forth.

SOUND ADVICE.

1t will be we'll for the Mississippi
planter to make the crop this
year with nine cents per pound in view
as the price cotton will bring next fall.
The price may be higher and then it
may not, and the expenditures for
making the crop should be kept within
reasonable bounds to avoid loss.
The Greenville Democrat, pub
lished in the very heart of the
greatest cotton growing section
in the world, gives the above
sound advice to cotton growing
readers, and we reproduce it to
show what others think the price
will be at the opening of the next
cotton season. The continued de-
cline in spot cotton is not brought
about by the condition of the cot
ton market, as the holdings of
spots in all cotton centers is COM
paratively small. The opening of
next season will find but little
cotton the market, although in
some cotton mill sections many
of the mills have shut down. The
decline in the price is due to the
present condition of business.
There has been for the past four
months but little doing, espe-
cially in cotton goods, and the
holdings of the mills are large.
If the cotton grower would look
particularly to the growing of a
large crop of other products, he
would do more than he could in
any other way to bring the price
of cotton back to the profitable
mark. If the country could be
filled with corn, pork, peas. hay,
potatoes and sorghum, times
would be easy again. and the
question of the price of cotton
would not make so much differ.
ence. The secret of fixing the
price lies in first providing all
the necessaries of the farm; the
price will then be satisfactory.

The fight led by John Sharp
Williams and the democratic
minority in congress to remove
the duty on wood pulp and print
paper should meet with the hearty
support of every newspaper in
the country, regardless Of party
afiliation. The protection af-
forded the manufacturer of
newspapers in this country is
one of the most outrageous fea-
lures of.the Dingley tariff and
the publishers of newspapers
periodicals have been held up and
robbed under it. tits impossible
for them to advance the prices
of their publications, but at the
same time they must pay the ad-
vances on print paper, which
does not come from any cause
except to crafty the greed of
the paper manufacturer. 1t
seems that with a congressional
and presidential race on the press
should be able to reach enough
congressman seeking a re-elec
ton to have those duties remov-
ed. Every congressman failing
to vote for the relief, be he dem
ocrat or republican, should be de-
feated if possible.
