BRITISH BANKERS HAD ID BACK DOWN They Had to Have the Cotton
 Anyway COMMENTS ON BUSINESS Keen Observer Finds That More Auto mobiles Are Purchased for Utility Purposes Than for Sheer

COMMENTS ON BUSINESS
By PRESTON c. ADAMS

New York, October 29.-(Special1-I called attention recently to the changed attitude of men at the head of great affairs towards the rights of the public to a view in the management of busi- nesses which in their nature are semi public. An instance of this change of base is found in the advertisement of a great railway system appearing in the New York papers.
 AS the motto of the company apparently appears these words in quotation marks For the public service"
 It has not been very many years since the head of this same company gave utterance to the historic proposition The public be d-m
 Somewhat different attitude these days.
 The British bankers appear to have backed down on the cotton bill of lading question. The date when these bills will not be accepted unless guaranteed by an American bank has now been set for ward to December 31 By that time the great bulk of this years cotton crop will have been marketed. If the British spinners are pretty well stocked up by that time, the bankers may stand out for the guarantee. If not it would not be risky to prophecy another postpone ment As a matter of fact the British bankers went up in the air on this question and took an unsteady position. Men in business must take the risks with the profits and this they did not want to do Then we had the cotton and they had to have 1t, which hardly placed them in the position of dictators.
 One exasperated foreign exchange banker. on being told that the bill of lad ing dispute was not yet fully settled, ex- claimed: Let the foreigners come over and swim home with the cotton strapped to their backs.

 Sidney s. Brock in Leslie's.
 Although but 21 years of age, Oklahoma ranks seventh among the states in cattle production, ninth in horses, ninth in mules and twelfth in hogs. The cotton crop has been estimated as having a value for 1910 of from sSo,0o0,000 to s100,000O0O. Corn, although cut by dry winds in July, will net the farmers nearly $60,0O0,000, while wheat will yield $26o0o.0oo. and oats s20. eco. .0o0 in 1910. From all agricultural and livestock sources, with poultry and dairy and truck farming products, in- cluded, Oklahoma farmers will receive in 1910 about $4O0,O0O000. Oklahoma carries off other honors as a wealth-producing state She ranks as follows in the pro- duction of minerals; First in gas, first in gypsum (having plaster mills with a capacity for providing an output to sup ply the world) first in glass sand, first in oil. first in asphaltum, first in cement. second in lead and zinc, third in coal, third in salt, fourth in granite, fifth in building stone, fifth in clay and slate, seventh in marble. The present conserva- tive estimate of agricultural and mineral production in Oklahoma for 1910 exceeds $500, ,000 900.

 There are about 800 commercial bodies in the state, all striving to carry on "city building in a strictly modern sense. In the lead of all these organza- tions is the chamber of commerce of Oklahoma City. Nearly 20 years ago this organization sprang into life, fathered by about dozen dauntless, public-spirited men, It has grown till a membership of 1900 has been attained.
 Twenty-one years ago Oklahoma City was a watering station on the Santa Fe. The 1910 census shows a population of GA. .2o5, an increase from the 1900 census, which was 10.037, of 54.16S a gain of $40 per cent. the largest percentage of growth by any city yet reported by the census bureau. Oklahoma City's four trunk lines reach S5 per cent of her trade territory without use of the joint rate. Two thousand travelling men live in Oklahoma City, over 1000 in their own homes. and in 1909 the concerns they represent distributed at wholesale $45, 900, 900 worth of goods.

1.-THE CENTURY IN ART
Remarkable Growth of the Illustrators
 Art

From the Century Magazine.
 When the first number of '"rhe Cen tury'' was issued in November, 1S70 the field of periodical literature in America was occupied by only one pictorial monthly of prominence. That magazine, following long established custom, drew its pictures to a considerable extent from illustrations made by publications on the other side of the Atlantic For a short time this magazine in slighter degree pursued a similar policy partly from necessity, since in that day Amer ican artists with the ia cle touch essen tial to illustration were few, and wood engravers were fewer. AS process plates were then unknown, even line drawings and etchings could not be printed with text on an ordinary power press until they had been reproduced by wood en- graving.
 As this magazine at the outset sought better art and more refined engraving new aspirations and stimulated faculties came into play, with the result that in the short space of five years the whole character of the pictorial field was changed. A most important innovation was the use of photography in trans ferring a drawing to the wooden block This expedent encouraged an artist to express his most subtle skill and delicate feeling, and these, in turn, made new demands upon the engravers, who in their medium found scope for the incest skill inspired by artistic sense. Young men and women brought new enthusiasm to the pictorial field, and the older artists, who mostly had been educated abroad, found in the wider horizon thus created

laborer at housebuilding and painting But he had good mind In a strong body sleepless ambition and indomitable cour- age and will. and he kept on reading and studying till he gained admission to the bar; and then he continued to read and study, and became a successful lawyer went to the state legislature, and then to congress, which he voluntarily quit after 12 years thereto become governor of his native state.
 General Coates craved the light on glory's plume. He yearned to ''climb the steep where Fame's proud temple shines,'' and set the stars of glory on his brow If he had been with Napoleon, he might have become a Marshal of France, There was something about him that reminded me of Ney of Macdonald, just as Clanton reminded me of Lannes or Junot I doubt whether he ever reached the point in life where he felt as Edmond Burke did when he declared he would not give "a peck of refused wheat for all that is called fame and honor in the world" For many years I had been meeting General Oates at intervals, in Alabama, in Washington city, in Georgia, and was under engage ment to visit him at hfs home in Mont eomery when the electric wires flashed over the land the news of his death,
 The soldierly form, seen often Ion the perilous edge of battle when 1t raged,'' is now at rest under the sod of the state that gave him birth and for which his blood was freely shed; but 1t is hard to realize the stilling of the virile, vivid personality I have known so long, and knew first in that little Alabama village-around which cluster some memories that make it dear as the schoolboy spot we neer forget, though there we are forgot"

the present idea of getting every possible cent from the convict's labor should be discarded. The convicts should not be exploited commercially A big financial return from the convicts as retribution for their wrong-doing may seem at first glance to be very desirable, but it is a Shylock method and the state of Ala bama is in a poor way if it can't support it's schools and pensioners without the revenue from this source. Part of their earnings should go to their destitute families when the bread winner is re- moved to prison.
 Let us hope the next legislature will enact the needed legislation along these lines. It is the outy of every citizen to think of these things and help to ad- vance Alabama with the humane spirit of the day until she stands well to the front with her sister states in the treat ment of her criminals. Instead of ex- acting only the pound of flesh as at present, let your ideal be to send each discharged prisoner forth into the world better man with a firm determination to go and sin no more. Respectfully,

Boston Women Appreciate Music

From the Boston Post.
 The one time of all times when the music lovers of Boston show that their love is genuine is the occasion when the rains descend upon the opening public rehearsal of the Boston Symphony or chestra.
 At o'clock in the morning a young woman appeared on the steps of Sym phony Hall with a camp stool under one arm and copy of a magazine and an umbrella under the other arm. She ar ranged her camp stool. opened her mag azine, adjusted her skirts and sat down to wait.
 By o'clock there were 2o women on the steps By 10 o'clock 50 more had ar rived. At il o'clock there were nearly 200 grouped upon the steps, chattering amably with each other while the cas- cades of water trickled from their shining black umbrellas.
 When the doors finally opened nearly 400 women, all of whom had waited in the rain from one to five hours to be sure of hearing good music from good seats at reasonable prices, crowded in out of the wet.

Husbanding the Nations Manhood

The United States has no national board of health. The department of agri- culture looks after the health of pigs and COWS; nobody is charged with care of the human species s ~
 Is there a place, need, in the United States for some such attention to the propagation of high-class human stock as is given to the breeding of pigs, fish, and cattle? Is there a demand for con- servation of human resources also, while We are exercising our souls about timber, water-power, coal and natural gas?

for home effort an expanding impulse which in these 40 years has achieved for American art a worldwide recognition. A file of this magazine, from November, 1870, will show, without argument. that in it's pages were first revealed the inno- vations and advances in engraving, illus trations and printing which have resulted in the preeminence of American illus trated periodicals. Today we may still contend for leadership by the zealous pursuit of our old, widely accepted ideals in art and printing; but the race is no longer reserved to few competitors, and
