The Price Of Cotton.

Some day perhaps the southern
farmer will admit that the price
of cotton is controlled by the law
of supply and demand. The
wheat grower of the middle and
western. states has already learned
lesson from the law that fixes
the price of a commodity as it
passes from producer to consumer
and has rrofitcd by It. In years
Of ovcr-production the surplus
wheat crop is stored in elevators
and huge warehouses and is hand
cd ont to the world rs it is called
for. The result is a steady mark
ct with an upward trend. Tn; is
what the world {: lis common
sens. TN" business nan calls it
practical business me,uod:.
Thr"c is no difference i'll wheat
and cotton, save th"j cotton is
more bulky and requires greater
STORAGE caDacily. But The same
law that fines the price of one fixes
the price of the other.
The southern pr,plr--cspccially
those whose very existence depends
on the price OF volton-know this
but they prefer not to believe it.
Instead, when the price goes
down they protest against buck
et-shopS" and an imaginary ring"
of cut-throatS that controls what
is known as the pit" in the New
York cotton exchange.
The ring" it is true, takes
advantage of the fluctuations of
the market and brings about
a reaction in the price of cotton,
but the ring" is not respon-
sible for those fluctuations; they
are Caused by the producer him
self who tries to force upon the
world something it doesn't need
and doesn't want.
Speculation had nothing to do
with the recent rise in the price
OF cotton. The world is getting
short and the consumer is knock
ing al the door OF the storage
warehouse. The surplus is in
the hands Of men who are not COM
PEELED 10 sell and as the knocking
gets louder the price goes higher.
This should be evidence enough
that the warehouse plan is the
only solution of the cotton prob
lem.

A strong plea for the direct nominal.

declared 1t progress In the line or

federal provision Tor election OF the
senators by the legislatures. he regard

There is n strong growing belief
among our people that United States
senators should be chosen by direct

hearers that the individual citizen

co Messina. In letter describing the
nrst visit she expresses the opinion
that the city can never be rebuilt.
In all the pathos of IT," she writes.
"one has feeling OF satisfaction over

absolutely complete.

My deepest sympathy goes out II
the italian authorities. They have a
hard problem, both on account of
| physical conditions here and also be.
cause OF the Sicilian character. and
the official brain is not of the species
that we call practical Had palace

say addio and start life fresh in new
scenes.
The people who escaped death in
Messina we're the hut dwelers, so to
speak. 1t is estimated that less than
one-fourth Of the refugees were of the
small merchant class, the others be,
ing laboiers and slum people. All
who could live in the better kind OF
dwellings persisted.
"An American who has been en-
gagged In relief work here for three
months said to me. 4 feel as n had
given my time to the very unscientifiC
work of aiding In the survival OF the
unflttest, and with the best possible
motives | have thus been hindering
human progress
The bulk OF the people now here
are better housed, better fed and may
get higher wages than before the
earthquake. Yet many Of them had
rather prowl about the ruins in the
hope of finding treasure than to earn
good pay in helping to build quarters
which outside benevolence has placed
here. The surviving masses lack self
respect, and there Is among them
much dishonesty and envy and vicious
ignorance. At first | was all sympathy
for them, but with increasing contact

WILL DECIDE
SULTAN'S FATE
Today's Poll of Parliament Indicates
Certain End of Turkish Rulers
Reign-0ficers To Be Shot.

CONSTANTINOPLE. April 26-
Grand Vizier Tewnk Pasha today
handed to parliament the designations
or himself and cabinet.
A pool was taken OF parliament to-
day and the opinion was almost unan.
inIous that the sultan's deposition is
absolutely necessary. The Young
Turks have agreed that parliament
should decide the fate OF the sultan
ana today's poll therefore, indicates
the certain end Of Adults reign.
The Sheik-UlIslam has prepared
a religious decree approving of the
deposition Of the sultan. which will
logalize any action that parliament
may take.
The only mooted question is whether
ABDUL should be given he formality
OF hearing. II this privilege Is
granted, II will be merely TO give his
deposition the appearance of regular
lily and cannot influence the result.

brother. may be declared the ruler al

SALONICA, April 26.-The YOUNG
Turks have established a court-martia
here at which will be tried all OF the
participants In the revolt against tbs
Constitutionalists. Train loads OF
prisoners are expected TO arrive here
soon from the capital.
Ii Is the general impression thai
the common soldiers who participated
In the revolt will be simply dismissed
from the army. but that their officers
will not be shot.
One report is that between twenty
and thirty OF the leaders IN the revolt
were summarily executed In Constan
tinople yesterday. This report Is not
yet confirmed. but Ii is generally be
lieved. inasmuch as the leaders oi
the Young Turks had promised death
to certain OF the army officers who
had proved traitors to their cause.
There was a report here today thai
the Young Turk leaders plan a repuo
lie. but this is considered unlikely.
