BELATED TRIBUTE TO ROSS
Kansas HOnOrs a Senator Who Had
the Courage of His Com
victiOns.

Time, the merciful. will pay its tardy
tribute Of Justice TO the memory Of z. G..
Ross, the United States senator from Kan
sas at the time OF the impeachment pro-
seedlings against President Andrew johnson.
This tribute may not come at the present
session of the Kansas legislature, but Il
viii come some day when the preiudiceg
and the rancor Of the stormiest period ir
our national life have been wiped out and
the people of an enlightened country will
view Senator Ross action in the broad
light OF patriotism and moral bravery. II
was the vote OF Senator Ross that saved
Johnson from impeachment and thereby
averted what students or history now be-
heve would have been a new revolution
and perhaps the final disruption OF the
union.
Representative Lambertson Of Brown
county has introduced In the Kansas house
Of representatives a resolution providine
for an official recognition OF Senator Ross
services TO his state and the nation, and g.
Is said that he is prepared to make a Wig
orous defense Of his action. The resolution
recites the smallest facts in that gres-
tragedy in the senator's life and recon
mends that the executive council be in
stTucted to obtain a bronze tablet bearnr
a bust figure OF Ross. with an appropriats
inscription, TO be placed in the state his
torteal rooms, and appropriating $50 To-
the same.
Representative Lambertson Is quoted a,
saying: Historians ~verywh give Ser
ator Ross credit for preventing the i'm
parchment Of President johnson. The,
also declare that # wa a great patriotic
duty he performed. and that he Is entitled
to much credit. Still the fact remains that
Senator Ross was ostracised by the peo-
pie OF Kansas and was forced TO seek q
home In a distant part Of the country. Now
we should right the wrong
II would be an exceedingly gracious thing
for Kansas 70 place this memorial tablet
In its Historical society rooms. Il is true
that there are stil many people In the
state who took part In the demonstration
against Ross and signed kilograms threat
ening his life II he returned TO Kansas
after having cast his vote for President
Johnson. But history has indicated his
course. He was a patriot who held 10 his
moral convictions against such a fierce
storm Of abuse and oppression as few men
have ever survived In the worlds history

THE FUTURE OF COTTON.
A Slow Increase of Acreage and Rapid
Growth of Consumption.

The United States in the crop
year Of 1908 added more than a
million spindles TO its consuming
capacity, although II took nearly
half a million less bales of cotton
for consumption than in the year be-
fore. This tendency throughout the
cotton textile world Of spindleage TO
run ahead Of actual consumption has
been feature Of the trade for the
greater part Of the past two years.
Out Of this relation is developing a
condition in the industrial world
which is giving no little concern 10
interests that had been counting on
a revival OF the trade demand long
before the beginning Of the cotton
planting season In the Southern

ment goes. Producing countries
enlarge their acreage much more
slowly than consuming countries add
70 their spinning capacity. As
the East and the Mediterranean
countries, and such rapidly develop
ing powers as Mexico take to manu-
featuring for their own domestic
needs as we'll as for exports, some
succeed in enlarging their cotton
acreage, but not correspondingly.
II is this difference in the tend
encies Of agriculture and manufac-
ture that presents TO the cotton
world problem Of much more vital
significance than the ordinary OBJ
server is inclined to give to it. At

oonservatively estimated. even on

acity of the mills, at approximately
Il, 100000 bales. And that was in

The potential consumption Of the
worlds cotton mills, with their in.
creased spindleage OF the past eight
or nine years Is not now less than
81 900, 900 bales. The demand has
meanwhile advanced 24.2 per cent.
Mill building goes on steadily ;
acreage is stationary or nearly so.
II must be evident that the present
dullness in manufacturing demand,
in which American spot cotton mid
dlings on either side Of the Atlantic
hovers about ten cents a pound, is
only lull in spinners competition

Fruit Still Safe.

Those who have examined the
fruit buds say the fruit is still unin-
jured. The untimely warm spell
that threatened to so develop the
buds as to insure their destruction,
was succeeded by the cold snap

will have a good fruit crop. 1t

places. An acre Of strawberries in
favorable season and on suitable land
may yield from 200 to 500 crates per
acre, and as high as 500 crates have
been taken from this area In a single
season. An average price per crate Is

consider that In ordinarily good years
about one-half Of the returns is profit.
Well managed plantations commonly
bring $500 an acre for the crop, and
this is often exceeded under especially
good care. With the exception Of har
vesting one man can tend about five
acres Of Strawberries.
In estimating the cost and profits
in this business II must be remember.
