Sherman a Roosevelt Creation.

Mr.. Sherman's nomination to the
vice presidency was made with Mr.
Roosevelts approval. Mr.. Roosevelt
controlled the republican national con-
vention absolutely; it's work. in all re-
spects, was his work. If Mr.. Sher-
man is now undesirable, in any way,
as a figure of the administration. Mr.
Roosevelt more than Mr.. Taft is to
blame. For Mr.. Taft merely accepted
his running mate. he did not select
him.
Mr.. Sherman's elevation to his pres
ent Office was not pleasing to many
republicans. His nomination seemed
at the time to be q needless conces-
sion to Mr.. Roosevelt's opponents and
1t must now be regarded as a cheap
kind of political expediency. But the
Taft administration, through no fault
of it's own, has the vice president to
carry and to treat with at least the
respect betting the second office in
the epublic.-Springfe Republican

who, without claiming to represent the
church, evince the spirit and the work
of Him who claimed to be the head of
the church. Even brief contact with
such persons has impressed me that
they are living not simply to have a
good time or to pile up money, but
to do good to others, to find out and
carry out the will of God. and to pre-
pare themselves for the life hereafter.
This general type of people was
much in evidence at the great world
missionary convention in Edinburgh in
June. That was not a gathering of
cranks, or visionary enthusiasts, but
of sober. capable, resolute, devoted
with the idea that this. world is in
time, and perhaps sooner than some
of us think, to be made over so that
tyranny, greed, lust, injustice, ignor-
ance brutality shall everywhere be re-
placed by order, decency, justice, puri-
ty, unsel1shness, love. Many of these
persons and thousands like them who
stayed at their post while their breth-
rem and sisters went to the conven-
ton, are actually delivering the
goods" lifting China and India out
of their stagnation, bringing about a

force is the power we call faith, the
vision of the purpose of God, and of
a redeemed humanity
When passed from the noble cap
ital of Scotland, with all it's learning
and brilliant life, to the little Ba-
varian mountain village, called Ober-
ammergau, found myself in the midst
of an entirely different scene, a people
speaking a foreign tongue, and a form
of Christianity to which l was unac
customed, and a far more motley COM
pany gathered also from the ends of
the earth to see the Passion play.
There they were Americans, Austral-
ians Europeans. Asiatics, Protestants,
Anglicans, Romans, Greeks, assem-
bled to see 500 natives of this Ba-
varian town, who live by faith, not
only once in ten years, but every year,
and whose faith and love have led
them to produce one of the most re-
markabe scenic productions the
world has ever seen.
You could not be in this town
day. or sit out the nine hours per-
Torrance, without being tremendously
stirred by the fact that faith is today
a living thing in the thoughts and
purposes of these simple peasants.
There. thousands of miles from the
land where Jesus lived in tongue
which He did not speak, you found
His words on the lips of wood carvers
and farmers; His cross on their hill
Sides His spirit in their hearts. How
did the Christian ideal, the Christian
personality, ever cross the seas that
divide Europe from Asia, ascend the
high hills and doInesticate itself as it
has done for hundreds of years in this
mountain town? How have these
things gone round the world? Tell
US, Mr.. Philosopher. is not the true
answer: There is nothing so vital,
so persistent, SO endowed with con-
quering possibilities as the Christian
faith? THE PARSON.

PRICE AND PROFIT IN COTTON

PRICE AND PROFIT IN COTTON.
The south is not likely to be fooled
by the antics of Wall street with cot
ton When 20-eent cotton was sprung
i'm Wall street the highest price which
had been bid in the southern cotton
market was Is IL cents.
Mr. II. f. Stockbridge, editor OF the
Southern Ruralist, is no novice in this
field. and in a letter to the Atlanta
Constitution he warns the planters
not TO be fooled by this sensational
nonsense. He says:
THE men who are making such ex-
aggersted claims, as to present condi-
lions, forget the fundamental econom-
&C. law that cost of production deter
mines profits.
Because Of this fact the recent
comparatively high prices received for
cotton have been misleading. Fifteen
cents is not really a high price. 1t is
not even a luringly profitable price.
Every man who has actually grown
cotton for ten years with real bust
ness management knows that there
was more profit with cotton at cents
than there is today at IS cents.
The Scent crop was grown with
mules costing 500 to s125, corn 40
cents sidemeat cents. and other
supplies in proportion. The labor and
raw material, including fertilizers,
entering into the Scent crop, aver
aged much less than half the cost Of
the materials going into the present
crop.
Another point is overlooked by the
theorists who figure out great profits
for cotton growers at present prices.
Their paper estimates of the cost of
production are based on the possibili-
ties OF large yields per acre. Yet it is
the actual average yield which de-
termines the real profit to the aver
age grower. 1t is easily seen that the
cost Of growing 200 pounds per acre
about our average yields the same,
except for picking and ginning and
possibly fertilizer. as would be the
cost Of producing 450 pounds on the
same acre.
II cents is the cost of growing
the bale per acre, it is obvious that the
average crop must cost the producer
nearly twice as much.
The plain fact is that the average
crop is not very profitable at present
prices. 1t puts tens of millions of
dollars into circulation. 1t enables
the grower to meet his obligations,
but he is not getting rich.
THE man who is really making
money under present conditions is not
the man who grows the cotton. but
the man who receives rent or share
cotton-the same quantity he received
ten years agO-which now sells for
double the former price.
These actual facts can hurt no one
The constant assertion that cotton
prices are high and the growers are
making great profits can only tend to
depress prices and injure the grower"

II is part of wisdom to recognize
that we are punished by our sins. The
penalty for violating the laws of
health, or the laws of our being. or
the law of God, is immediate,-we in
vite ii and cannot escape. Cleanli
ness and order are divine regulations
and who has to be told what happens
where disorder and uncleanness are
the rule. Where these laws are least
observed are the most disease and
misery and the highest death rate.
Intemperance in every direction is
violation of divine law. and it's pen
alties cover more than half the crime
and half the woes of man. The punish
ment to be averted is in the Now, not
in the by and by; and every man has
the power to guard and to keep him
self right and immune from dire dis
aster. The ways to degradation are
many, and thousands are walking
therein; not because they must, but
because they will. II man realized this
as he should. life would be better for
us all Life is what man makes it
and he creates the pitfalls in his own
path and the temptations and dangers
in the path of innocence

is his own worst enemy never blames
himself-he is one who fails to claim
that he is self made. He could make
such a claim better than some others,
but lacks the nerve. If some others
lacked the nerve, too, it would be just
as we'll. Misery isn't fond of itself
it doesn't enjoy itself but gathers
gladness from meeting something
worse-its pleasure. what little it has
is excited by degrees.
Our forbears had no occasion to
complain about high prices for they
bartered, lived plain, and waited long
for bargains. Every place was suffi-
cient unto itself and the home makers
sang and spun and made clothing and
kept the whole outfit in repair. What
would they have said to a tale about
the day when a horse would sell for
$500 or a COW for $4,000 or bull
dog for $4,000? These old mothers in
Israel would not have had special adj
miration or respect for women who
never wear a dress but once and do
not know how to get along on less
than 5000 a year-a sum that in
their day would have bought eight
counties. These are different times
but are they giving to the world great
er men or women? The old times were
not pointed at with alarm-but these
times are. The bead of modern life
is too intoxicating-lif has a swell
on that must subside.

it is so constituted that it holds it's Sc
renity when other souls do not It is
in fast colors and does not run-it
shows constantly the elements of
strength. not of weakness. 1t is a soul
worth having because it always stands
for the truth; and is as much at home
high up the mountainside as while
Competing woody aisles-it is the same
in high or humble station, in sun
shine or gloom. 1t Is the chosen color
for the laurel crown; and it appeals
to man with a constancy which no
other color does. The evergreen soul
is the soul of the optimist. the soul
of Christian, who. however heavily
burdened, never lost fath-it must be
the very soul of Hope herself, and to
be conscious of having such a soul is

THE ADVANTAGE OF SALESMAN
SHIP

1t is being noted that the growing
towns of the country are not the ones
that quietly sit and admire their nat
ural advantages. They get manufac-
turers to locate because they go after
them. Sixty-five of the towns that
were in the field to ca pture an auto
mobile factory have shown that the
day Of the chance growth of towns is
passed. that capital waits not only to
be invited but to be shown. Speaking
Of these towns, recent issue of the
Saturday Evening Post said:
The investors in the automobile
factory had made up their minds up
on another location, but courteously
gave time TO listen to the claims of
Texas. That decided the appeal from
the southwest. There were trained
statesmen who knew their town like a
book, all its good points and its poor
points, the chances for trade. the
prices for material, the costs of labor,
the distances to market and the most
intimate parts of the complicated sys-
tenn of freight rates. They got the fac
tory because they went after it. be-
cause they had good goods to show
and used craftsmanship in presenting
them An instance is told of the bus
mess men of a town hiring a train to
visit their neighbors. Each of the
sixty-five towns called upon was very
much like another, each had about the
same advantages and transportation
facilities and each nourished a great
desire for development. A member of
the party of travellers went over the
same ground year later and while
he found the ambition still unquench-
able in every one of the siXty-hve
towns only those had made gains
which had gone forth and drummed
up trade
The spirit OF the age is of the hust
ling variety. The advancing of COM
munal interests has become a matter
OF skill Live towns are now reaching
out for what they want, not sitting in
expectation that the good things are
going to be tossed into their laps.
