be destroying the value of their neigh

II Is a matter of little concern to
us that our efforts to establish fair
price for cotton, according to the law
of supply and demand, were neither
realized nor appreciated by those in
terested last season. That is now
past history, but to allow this crop to
rush TO market without first warning
the producers of the costly mistakes
they may make and the advantages
they stand to realize with wisdom
would not be just to the cause we
espouse.
Nor do we forget the ultimate con-
sumer. He does not believe 1t, but 1t
is true, that the price of raw cotton
affects him but little. Prices remained
virtually unchanged to him last year,
In the face of the advance recorded
on the cotton exchanges, and there is
every reason to believe that the actual
consumption last year was larger than
the year previous What we must ad-
just ourselves to is a gradual yearly
increase in price to supply new indus
tries and growing population the
world over. But this increase will
make itself felt gradually in retail
prices. Cotton could advance enor-
mously before the appreciation would
be felt by the ultimate consumer.
Most of the cost of the finished prod
uct bought by the ultimate consumer
is accounted for in the many and va
ried processes of manufacture, trans
shipments and rehandlings.
What rules the producer, though. is
not the cost of manufacture, but the
law of demand and supply. and to him
we say that, in our belief, crop OF
ll.50O,O bales would readily be con-
sumed this season at 20 cents.

TO PREPARE BALLOT.
Secretary of State Discusses Steps tc
Taken by District Chairmen.

Austin. Texas, Sept While dis
cussing the returns of the various dis
trict chairmen of the state. Secretary
of State Townsend declared that seri-
GUS difficulty may arise relative to get
ting the names of the nominees of the
different district offices on the official
ballot for the November election. He
calls attention to section ia of the
Terrell election law, which provides
that the district chairmen shall certify
the nominations TO the secretary OF
state, but does not direct him to fur
nish the county clerks of the counties
composing the district with the names
of said nominees, it having always
been the custom for the district chair
men of each district to notify the
county clerks in each county of the
names of the various district nomi-
ness. Nor does the law specifically d.
rect the district chairmen to furnish
the county clerks with the names of
the nominees. but, as stated above, 1t
has always been the custom.
The attorney general has held that
it is not the duty of the secretary of
state to notify the county clerks and
this leaves II to the different district
thairmen or the nominees themselves

IGNORANCE OR WORSE.

The majority report of the select
committee of the senate on wages ahd
prices of commodities, which is signed
by Senators Lodge, Gallinger McCum
Der. Smoot and Crawford, gives as
the first reason for the enormous in,
crease in the cost of living
increased cost of production of
farm products by reason OF higher
land values and higher wages"
The astute republican politicians
who signed that report are evidently
ignorant of the most simple laws of
political economy, or their purpose
was to deceive the senate and the
people of the United States DR..
Thomas Nixon Carter, professor of po-
litical economy in Harvard university,
says of that report: "A student would
fail to pass the Introductory course In
economics in Harvard university who
would make such blunders as are con
tanned in that report"
AS to the first cause. DR.. Carter
says:
This is a perfectly clear case of
putting the cart before the horse. Ev-
cry student of economics knows that
the high price of land is not a cause,
but the effect of the high price of farm
products. Let the price of farm prod
ucts fall to the unremunerative level
and land values will disappear, for the
simple reason that farm land then be-
comes undesirable property. Let the
price OF farm products rise still high
er. There is no reason why land
should command high price for
farming purposes. except rise in the
price Of farm products or fall in the
cost of cultivating the land To say
that farm products are high because
land values are high is quite as fool
ish as saying a tree is tall because
its shadow is long"
Nearly every other statement made
by the republican senators is shown
to be equally fallacious by the minor
ity of the same committee in their
report, and the evidence they adduce
Of its deception is from republican
sources. This ignoratio elenchi of
.hese republican lawmakers throws
liscredit on all their statements

TO THE COTTON IN
TERESTs OF THE SOUTH
New York City, Aug. 81, 1910.

New OTh lily, Aug. 81, lJlU.
The coming year. in our opinion, OF
fers to cotton producers an opportun
ity which is perhaps not fully appre
ciated Hence the following:
Last season we realized the crop to
be very short one, and Is cents ap
peared reasonable figure to us un.
der the circumstances. That price,
we may say, was maintained against
the combined efforts of the entire
world, and. indeed. the only reason
the price did not rule higher was the
fact that the crop then aavilable fol
lowed the largest one on record
IA. 000, 200. bales. Accordingly, there
were then very large visible and in
visible stocks in spinners' hands. as
we'll as large supply OF Manufactured
goods on spnners',, iobbers' and re-
tailers' shelves.
1t would have been impossible to
maintain last seasons price if that
price had not been justified in every
particular. All interests fought the ad-
vance strongly, so that this season
finds spinners. jobbers and retailers
with the smallest supplies known since
the war. In other words, the situation
in this respect is exactly opposite
from last year, at the same date. and
there is absolutely no reserve stock
to fall back on to supply any shortage
that may develop.
The world would require supply
of 10, 500,0 900 bales minimum this com
ing season to hold stocks for this time

strained than they occupy today. A
crop of 12,5OO.O0O bales would be
given away if sold under 16 cents. The
world would have to take it all at
even higher prices if it weee held for
same
And what crop may we expect? Last
year the state, exclusive of Texas and
Oklahoma, produced about 100000
bales, and there is no reason to expect
larger yield from the same states
this season. especially when the crop
is three weeks late. In fact. any in
crease must be extremely small. and
on the contrary there is a strong prob
ability that instead of an increase
there will be decrease. Texas and
Oklahoma certainly do not indicate
over 100000, and these figures also
are more likely to be reduced than
raised. Therefore, the total yield in
dicated is certainly not more than
from 11.5OO.OOO to 100000 bales.
Now at the opening this year the
trade is lowering over the market like
a vulture, hoping that the producer
will rush to market his crop. as he
has in seasons past, even il he can
get only ls cents for it. In our judg
nent, those who follow such a policy
will not only be robbing themselves
hey will be throwing away the oppor-
unity of lifetime; and they will also

Wildcat Currency
IN Circulation
Two Men Are Arrested for Passing
Doctored Bills on the
Unwary.

Away back in the sos when everybody
in the south raised cotton and tobacco to
the exclusion Of nearly all other crops the
state of Georgia issued a series OF paper
money, which in later years was banlshed
from circulation and which took the rather
uncomplmentary appellation of wild cat
currency.
That such currency could be passed upon
the erudite public OF this enlightened age
seems incredible, yet, according to the
United States secret service department,
that very thing has happened in ana
around Omaha several times during the
last summer
Paul Brady and Frank Markham are
under arrest charged with handling the
spurious money. 1t is said that Markham
is the arch conspirator and that Brady has
been working under his direction Brady
is in jail in Omaha and Markham was cap

SCHOOL CHILDREN STUDY FIRE
This Week is Devoted TO Subject Of
Danger and Prevention,
FRIDAY TO BE BIG FIRE DAY
Pupils of All Public schools visit Fire
Houses and study Text hooks on
Subject and Every Phase OF
the serious Matter.

This week in Omaha schools has been
dev oted to studying the dangers and pre-
vention Of fire, and Friday will be fire
day. Every school in the city will have
a program on the subject and fire drill
The opening exercises at most OF the
schools have been devoted to this topic for
several days. Visits have been made to
nearby engine houses and the children
have been shown by the fire captains how
the apparatus works, how the horses are
kept and how quickly run can be made.
AL, the details Of alarms and the signalling
system were explained to them, as well as
the quarters Of the firemeu and the way In
which they respond to a call.
The program for today will be very
interesting for the children and are de-
signed to impress upon them the danger
to life and property that lies in careless
ness with combusdbles
Some OF the children have been asked to
write short compositions upon the various
phases Of fires and their prevention. Five
hundred copies Of the text book issued
by the state fire commission have been
distributed among the teachers, and these
have been used as a basis OF instruction.
In these books everything is discussed,
from safety matches to stoves and spon-
taneous combustion, and all the rules that
are expected to govern action In times OF
danger are emphasized. The children are
to be taught especially the necessity Tor
prompt obedience to their teachers when
there is danger in the school The history
OF terrible fires Is related to them with eK-
plantations of how the loss Of life might
have been prevented
