The OptilniSt.

The optimist, while he see: much

good: He sees more Of the beauty,
hears more cf the music; his mental
vision is keener. his spiritual In
sight deeper. His whole view Of life
lie one of pronist When the prob
lens. yeXations, ana temptations
come, he stands squarely in his path,
and by attitude and expression de-
clares his firm belief in that ulti-
mate good. He has many expert
ences, and sometimes he fails; but
he rises stronger in resolution for
having discovered weakness. There
is In him something that never yields
He looks upon evil as something to
be overcome. Ffe makes effort. IN
proportion to this does he elevate
him self to a higher plane of life.
He has 4 mission in the world, and
proceeds to do his work. TITS is
usually done without demonstration.
His force is like the sublime forces
of the universe--silent. but always
acting. Like the pcssimist, his life
and thoughts are contagious; un-
like the pessimist, he is always well
come. If the two come face to face
he will never yield to the latter's
influence. He knows that eternal
truth and goodness are working
through him. and he believes in their
ultimate triumph.

american Mills Being Buncosed.

According to Mr.. Richard H. Ed
monds. editor Of The Manufacturers
Record, the foreign spinners are
chuckling with glee over the curtai!-
ment plan of American cotton mills,
because this Just suits their scheme
of>,buying the pick of the American
crop before the American spinners
wake up to the fact that they have
been led into trap. In support OF
Mr.- Edmonds' theory, it may be seen
that the foreign spinners are tumb-
ling over each other to buy cotton.
Our ports daily advertise their swell
ling cargoes But along with 1t all
comes In further curtailment from
eli sides among the American cot
ton mills, The Charleston Evening
Post commenting on the mill situa-
ton says:
1t is the argument of the mill own
ers that until they get a better price
for their manufactured goods they
cannot pay the figure which cotton
nov brings. And so the Georgia
mills have cut their time twenty
Eve per cent, and the Lowell, Mass
mills announce very calmly a cut
of twenty minutes day. At Union,
South Carolina, the nine mills Will
continue to run full time. A slight
inconsistency In the position of the
manufacturers Of course does not
matter. 1t is the apparent futil'ty
OF their united action that causes
the deeper sympathy for their thou
sands of employees who are depriV-
ed of q portion Of their wages oy
this reduction, Of time.
But will the price of cotton fall
because the American mill owners
are trying to "bear" the market?
In the very nature Of things now cot
ton can not we'll help staying high.
A short crop, lively and increas-
ing demand from foreign spinners,
on air of general prosperity, which
carries along with it higher prices
of living. and a stable consumption
OF manufactured goods promise to
make the stand taken yb the Ameri-
ran cotton onfnanufacturers Intellectual,
not worse.
Very naturally the mills are COM
batting the increased price Of raw
material with every weapon. In their
combination! TO break the market.
Their properties represent large In
vestnents and large interests. On
one hand are arrayed the stockhold-
ers and ;bondholders, the vested in
terests, with che usual proportion OF
widows and orphans in the game
against the great army Of cotton
growers and mill employees.
While the ultimate consumer
is going to, bear the brunt, of this
fight. because Of dlscreased retail
price of f,manufacturedi products. with
raw material rising and mills cur
failing, it. would be a pity to see
the foreign spinners reaping the
harvest to come from these con-
ditions. II the foreign spinners
keep up" their buying pace, and the
American spinners continue oalk-
ing, the farmer need not worry. But
we sincerely hope that they have not
overlooked the possibilities OF Mr..
Edmonds' little talk.
