COTTON SPINNING AND PRINTING.

This country grows five sixths or
the commercial cotton crop or the
world, but it spins only one-fifth OF It,
Out of 130,000,O00 spindles in the
world, this country possesses but 26.-
900 900. The Foss syndicate in Bos-
ton is attempting to increase the spin
lies in Massachusetts and Rhode 1s-
land, and all through the rest or New
England there is conviction that the
time has come to put up more Amerl-
ran cotton mills. America is not keep
ing step with the rest Of the world In
this matter, especially with England
and Japan.
OF the 26, 100000 spindles in this
country about 100000 are located
in the cotton states amid the cotton
fields. New England has no intention
of abdicating in favor OF the South.
New England has no advantages OF
raw material, fuel or labor, and yet 1t
does the larger share of the spinning
in this country And SO far as Weav-
ing is concerned, the situation is even
worse: and so far as printing is con-
cerned, not yard is printed from one
end of the cotton belt to the other.
And yet William Hartley Chadwick,
az Providence, R. l., says there would
he good money in cotton printing in
the South. ..--.-s.-1--- ..

Homecoming of DIR. Cook.

New York, Sept. 2.-Preparations
already are afoot here to make the
homecoming of DR.. Frederick A
Cook an event of national and posi-
bly, international Importance. If the
plans outlined today by members of
the Arctic Club are carried out the
welcome home which DR.. Cook will
receive in New York will be an ova-
tion in which city, state and nation
will take part, while prominent ex-
plorers-Cook's former rvals-from
all parts of the globe, will gather to
pay their personal tribute to his
achievement.
Among the most notable of those
who in all probability will be here to
greet DR.. Cook on his return will be
Lieutenant Shackelton, the intrepid
Englishman whose recent explora-
tions in the Antarctic, during which
he succeeded in pushing nearer to the
south pole than had any previous ex
plorer, made him a figure OF world
wide prominence.
Members of the Arctic Club hope
that President Taft may himself bt
present as the nations representative
to welcome DR.. Cook.

..NO BABY, NO BALLOT"

Manv expedients have been tried as
a lroper basis for the granting OF
the franchise, but the editor-pr1esI,
Father Phelan, of st. Louis. comes
forward with new and startling
L,en.
He seems to be very much In ear
nest in making the family the unit OF
the franchise, and he has begun an
active propaganda with the slogan
No baby, no ballot"
To counteract any tendency towards
race suicide which may exist. he pur7
poses, in other words, to give the bal
lot only to those citizens VINO can
boast of baby in the house.
Since the reform bill in England, In
1882. many changes have been made
in the franchise qualifications from
forty-shillings free-holder to the
'latch-key' voter, which practically
means universal suffrage. Property
and educational qualifications have
been widely discussed and frequently
adopted, but never before, so tar as
we are aware, have we had the So
gan, "No baby, no ballot.
We have a shrewd idea that TINS
is a blow aimed secondarily II not
primarily at the woman suffraglsts
When the childless Nine. De Stael
asked Napoleon who was the greatest
woman in France-expecting him co
say "Mme. De Staep'-he replied,
"The woman who gives the most chill
dren to France"
She never forgave him.
The suffragists who are asking for
the ballot would probably be as much
stunned as was Nine. De Stael IL they
should find that they had been given
the franchise, but on the basis OK mo
baby, no ballot"
Father Phelan is not such dream
er as might appear at first sight.

"SURE, MIKE"

This district (the Third) having
developed three congressional cand1-
dates this early in the game, esteem
ed contemporaries in other districts
of the State are doubtless growing
green with envy, for there's. nothing
quite so attractive to the newspaper
hopper as political grist. And. by the
way, the situation in this district is
unusually interesting by reason of the
fact that one of the candidates is an
editor and another an ex-editor, and
should either of the two land the COW
eted plum we shall confidently look
for the introduction of bill in Con-
gress to pension the weekly press.
How about it, candidates ?-Mount
Olive Tribune.
Speaking for this deponent as to the
above we say "Sure, Mike!" And this
word to the brethren should be suf-
ficient.-Ed. Argus.

AMaRfgA,s HERirktlE.

It is a most pleasing ffiifg to note
ne disposition over the whole coun-
ry to appropriate as 'sour country
rem" all of those men who in times
past have displayed sterling manhood
md exalted virtues. without regard to
the lines that once divided sympathies
and checked generous acknowledg-
nent of fine characters.
The placing of the statue of Cen
eral Lee in the statuary hall at Wash
ington has furnished occasion for
many expressions whose tenor should
be known and appreciated in every
section Of the country.
! The Rochester Herald; for instance,
expresses the following happy and
commendable sentiment. 1t says:
''The men of the South would be
less than men if they failed to re-
member their heroes, and of their he
roes, General Lee is easily the first.
He is deserving of such remembrance
and honor. There was. no nobler man
In all the world than Lee. No one
has ever been able to point to sin
gle dishonest act or ignoble motive
in his entire career. General Lee rev.
erenced his conscience as his king,
and he always strove to do the right
as he saw it. His mind was large,
his character valiant. One can see
today that he was one of Lincoln
ideal men, with malice toward none
with charity for ALL He was ,op-
posed to secession, but when his state
seeded, he felt the call OF his people
and fought their battles.
Charles Francis Adams, of Massa-
chusetts, fought as a Massachusetts
Adams should have done, on the
Northern side, but he has sail that il
he had been in Lees place he would
have done just what Lee did. To cal
Lee traitor 40 years after, does moi
come graeiously from lips that eulo'
gize Washington, the other noted reb'
ell of Virginia, who dared to fight the
battles of his people against the Brit
ish king who demanded the allie
glance of the thirteen American colo
MES. Fortunately, we have reachee
the stage-at least, most of us have
reached it-when we can think of Lee
not as Virginian, nor as a Southern
er, merely, but as an American o
whom all Americans may justly b.
proud. He was one of US, and hi
valor belongs to our history Whel
some mischievous Englishman said t.
] Charles Francis Adams, the American
minister to England, and the fathe
of the Charles Francis Adams whom
we have quoted, Those Southerner
i fought well,' Adams replied: Yes
] they are my countrymen, and beyon
doubt he was as great a warrior
America has produced. His statue de
serves to stand in the old Senat
halls, and well shall it be if the yout
: of this land, of South and North alike
! consider long and earnestly the kin
: of man he was, and find insplratio
: in his life"
