COTTON CROP STATUS
Commercial Appeal Shows Bad Con-

Improvement Elsewhere.

Memphis, Tenn, July 18-In its
weekly summary of crop conditions
the, Commercial Appeal will say to-
morrow:
Excessive high temperatures pre-
vailed throughout the week except
along the Atlantic seaboard; the rain
fall was poorly distributed, some Sec
lions, as Southern Georgia, getting
an excess, while other sections re-
ceived none at ALL The cotton crop,
however, improved everywhere ex-
cept in Texas and Oklahoma In Ar
kansas the rainfall was better dis
tributed than elsewhere, although
beneficial, and the prospects of the
state are good.
East of the Mississippi river, save
in localities only, the crop has been
put in a good state of cultivation, but
it is irregular. Some fields look well,
but the cotton that was worked out
late is small and the plant has not at
tanned to thriftiness.
In Texas and Southern and West
ern Oklahoma rain is badly needed.
The growth of the plant and the fruit
ing has been arrested and in Central
Texas shedding is beginning. The
situation is growing more serious.
The hot, dry weather has, however,
checked the ravages of the boil
weevil
The work of laying by the crop is
in progress in all districts. Where
the plant is advanced enough to fruit
it is generally doing so satisfactorily.

WILL SUGGEST CHANGES

1 hope TO be able to submit at the
first regular session of the incoming
CONGRESS, in December next, definite
suggestions in respect to the needed
amendments to the antitrust and the
interstate commerce law. and the
changes required in the executive de-
partments concerned in their enforce
ment.
1t is believed that with the changes
to be recommended. American business
can be assured of that measure of sta
biiity and certainty in respect to those
things that may be done and those
that are prohibited which is essential
to the life and growth of all business.
Such plan must include the right of
the people to avail themselves of those
methods of combining capital and effort
degree of economic efficiency. at the
same time differentiating between COM
olnations based upon legitimate eco
nomic reasons and those formed with
the intent of creating monopolies and
artifcially controlling prices
The work of formulating into prac-
tical shape such changes is creative
work of the highest order. and requires
all the deliberation possible in the in
tervaI. / believe that the amendments
to be proposed are just as necessary
in the protection of legitimate business
as in the clinching of the reforms
which properly bear the name of my
predecessor.
A matter of the most pressing i'm
portance is the revision of the tariff.

Then, too, there are expenditures Of
government absolutely necessary II our
country is to maintain its proper place
among the nations of the world. and Is
TO exercise its proper influence IN de-
fense of it's own trade interests, in the
maintenance of traditional American
policy against the colonization or
European monarchies in this henai-
sphere, and in the promotion OF peace
and international morality. I refer 10
the cost of maintaining a proper army
proper navy and suitable fort1hca-
tions upon the mainland Of the United

We should have an army so organ

traditional American policv which bears
the name of President Monroe.
Our Notifications are yet In a state
of only partial completeness and the

usual annual appropriations Tor our

for maintaining under arms great
army. but 1T does not take away the
requirement of mere prudence. that
we should have an army sufficiently
large and so constituted as to form
nucleus out of which a suitable force
can quickly grow.
What has been said of the army may
be affirmed In even a more emphatic
way of the navy. A modern navy can
not be improvised 1t must be built
and in existence when the emergency
arises which calls for its use and
operation. My distinguished pred
ecessor has in many speeches and mes
sages set out with great force and
striking language the necessity for
maintaining a strong navy commen-
surate with the coast line. the COVER
mental resources and the foreign trade
of our nation; and I wish 10 reiterate
all the reasons which he has presented
in favor of the policy of maintaining
a strong navy as the best conservatOr
of our Deace with other nations and the
best means of securing respect for the
assertion of our rights, the defense of
our interests and the exercise Of our
influence in international matters.

POLICY TO PRoMoTE PEACE

Our international policy is always TO
promote peace. We shall enter into
anv war with a full consciousness of
the awful consequences that il always
entails. whether successful or not. and
we, OF course. shall make every effort,
consistent with national honor and
resort to arms. We favor every in
strumentality, like that of The Hague
tribunal and arbitration treaties made
with view to it's use in all inter-
national controversies, in order 70
maintain peace and to avoid war. But
We should be blind to existing coudi-
t1ons. and should allow ourselves 10
become foolish idealists. if we did pot
realize that with all the nations of the
world armed and prepared for war.
we must be ourselves in a similar con-
dition. in order TO prevent other -
tlons from taking advantage of US and
OF our inability to defend our interest IS
and assert our rights with a strong
hand. In the international contrOver-
sizes that are likely to arise in the
orient, growing out OF the question
of the open door and other issues. the
United States can maintain her inter-
eStS intact and can secure respect for

able TO do so, however. ii it is under
stood that she never intends to back
uD her assertion Of right and her de-
tense OF her interest by ANYTHING but
nero verbal protest and diplomatic
note. For these reasons. the expenses
of the army and navy and OF coast de-
1enses should always be considered
as something which the government
must pay for. and they should not be
cut of through mere consideration OF
economy. Our government is able 10
afford suitable army and a suit

and fear OF additional taxation ought

TARIFF ACTION NECESSARY

The proposal to revise the tariff made

the business community to count upon
it, necessarily halls IA those branches
are most important. 1T disturbs the
whole business of the country. IT is
imperatively necessary. therefore. that

accordance with promises made before
the election by the party in power. and
as promptly passed as due considera-
tfon will permit Tt Is not that
the tariff is more important in the lon @
run than the perfecting of the reforms
in respect to antitrust legislation and
interstate commerce regulation. but
the need for action. when the revision
of the tariff has been determined upon
is more immediate to avoid embarrass-
ment of business. To secure the needed
speed in the passage of the tariff bill.

other legislation at the extra session.

wholly within its discretion.
In the making of a tariff bill. the
prime motive is taxation, and the Sc
curin~ thereby of a revenue. Due large
ly TO the business depression which
followed the financial panic of 1907. the
revenue from customs and other sources
has decreased to sncn an extent that
the expenditures for the current fiscal
wear Will exceed the receipts by $780,
100000. 1t is imperative that such a
deficit shall not continue. and the
trainers of the tariff bill must of course
have in mind the total revenues likely
to be produced by il, and so arrange
the duties as to secure an adequate
income. Should 1t be impossible to do
SO by import duties. new kinds of tax
alton must be adopted. and among
these ] recommend a graduated in
heritance tax, as correct in principle
and as certain and easy of collection.

FAvORs FEDERAL ECONOMY

The obligation on the part of those
responsible for the expenditures made
to carry on the government. to be as
economical as possible. and to make
as possible, is plain and should
be aff1rmed in every declaration of
government policy. This is especially
true when we are face to face with
heavy deficit. But when the de-
sire to win popular approval leads to
the cutting off OF expenditures really
needed TO make the government effec-
tive, and to enable il to accomplish it's
proper objects, the result is as much to
be condemned as the waste of govern
ment funds in unnecessary expenditure.
The scope of modern government in
