COTTON MAINTAINS THE
BALANCE OF TRADE.

The Southern Commercial Congress
has compiled statistics showing that
1t Is the cotton crop of the South which
has enabled the United States to main
tain the balance Of trade for nearly
40 years The total value of all ex-
ports from the United States during
the period from 1870 TO the fiscal year
ended with June of last year amounted
practically to $4,000, 600 ,OOO-a sum
so large tEat 1t is difficult to com
pTehend 1t. The total balance in favor
OF the United States during this time,
we are told, has been 6,436,II4.566. A
considerable amount OF money to be
sure, but comparatively small in its
relation to the total of our exports.
How much of the gold brought back
to the United States was sent here
IN payment of cur cotton cropg The
Commercial Congress- tells Us that It
amounted 10 Sl3,59s, 353.0 s6. and It Is
to be borne IN mind that this was
merely III payment Of our raw cotton
The manufactured goods, the cotton
seed and cOttOn-seed oil, which have
attained to large proportions in value
during recent years, are left out Of the
reckoning altogether 1t Is easy
enough 70 see, however, that II It had
not been for the cotton crop of the
South the balance OF trade would have
been against US during all these years.
It Is the staple money crop OF the
country and has played a conspicuous
part IN bringing the United States 10
the position Of commercial prosperity
1t now enjoys.

POLITICAL ARCADIAN'S
AWAKENING.

A Georgia ATcadIan has retired from
politics a saddef and very much wiser
man. The State is now in the midst
OF a campaign for the Democratic nom
ination for governor, which Is equiva-
lent to an election. Gov. Joseph NJ
Brown is being opposed by former Gov
Hoke Smith, whom he defeated two
years ago. Hoke Smith stands for a
strict regulation Of the railroads and
other corporations, while Little Joe"
Brown, who was dismissed from his
position on the public service commits
sion of the State by Smith during his
term as governor, Is supposed 10 be
friendly to corporate interests. Broad
ly speaking, Brown IS a conservative
and Smith Is a progressive But the
factiOnalism for which the two men
stand runs through practically every
department OF the State and cOloTs
every issue. The campaign Of two
years ago was one of the bitterest IN
the history Of Georgia
When the two men SHE'D their cas-
tors this year and prepared for the BIZ
ennial battle, Attorney General John
Hart felt 1t his patriotic duty TO enter
the race IN the interest Of peace. He
wanted 10 heal the ancient wounds,
and stepped forth, Ike Arnold Winkel-
reid, to receive the full charge of the
political battle. He Is a high-minded
citizen and everybody believed IN his
sincerity. He started his campaign,
but he could hardly get a bearing
Wherever he went he found that the
people were for Smith or Brown ana
were ready to stone the Peacemaker-
He has now announced his wI.HdTaw-
al from the race IN terms which are
almost pathetic. He says the people
do not want peace, but war, and there
Is no reason why he should undergo
further humiliation He has learned
more OF the temper of politics IN a
few weeks than he had learned IN all
his life as mere lOOkeT-On-
His Arcadian eyes are opered, and,
having resigned his position as attor-
nev general as one OF his preliminary
sacrifices, he retires to private life TO
mediate
The incident furnishes an interest
ing commentary on popular sentiment
In politics The fact Is that the people
at all times and everywhere have a
great deal OF the primitive Inst for
conflict, and even while shouting
Peace peacel" they want no peace
They chant militant Thanksgiving to
the power which ''teacheth my haEss
to war and my fingers to fight" De
plore 1t as we may, It Is a stern fact
that conflict Is the essence OF political
campaigns, and that the Arcadian has
a thankless task IN attempting to
make II a parlor game

SELF-CONTROL THE SAVING
PART OF SWIMMING.

OF the score or more Of persons,
vounc OF old, who lost their lives IN
the water Sunday the majority prob
ably could have saved themselves by
a proper application Of the science OF
swimming
4 great many people know chow
to swim who do not really know how
TO protect themselves IN the water. It
Is very much ike this flying business
The Baroness de Ia Roche last week
came smashing down TO earth when
she lost control OF her machine 80
feet in the air. Brookins, the young
protege of the ooI-headed Wrights,
glided back to earth safely two days
later from a height of 600 feet after
his motor had become useless. By
keeping cool he was able 70 keep safe
Swimming Is one of the most health
full pastimes. It IS also, unfortu-
nateIv, one OF the most hazardous, for
too many swimmers have never been
taught how to take care OF themselves
IN emergencies, which are liable TO rise
at any time and confront anyone, even
the strongest
The swimmer who is not prepared
for these emergencies should stick 10
shallow water OF to the life line The
swimmer who loses his head Is very
apt to lose his life.

A NEW DISCOVERER OF THE
EASY LIFE.

The people of America said the
daring clergyman IN the presence Of
Colonel Roosevelt. don't like the
strenuous life. They don't like the
efficient life or the simple life. They
ike the easy life"
As 1t was said IN church, and in a
steaming atmosphere, the colonel did
not reply. But he might have re-
spOnded that 1t takes all sorts Of
people to make up a nation and that
all kinds Of lives may be met IN the
course Of a mornings stroll
Judging by what the nation stands
for In commerce and industry and
politics, there is no marked taste cor
the easy life But life may be simple
and strenuous at the same time. The
man who goes about his business sim
ply and without drawing the crowd
may lead a very strenuous If
But there Is a familiar ides that the
strenuous life has something to do
with bronchos and big sticks. This, OF
course, Is a faIIacy. There Is no such
thing as IN easy life except for rHeasy

TRACTION COMPANIES NOT
PRIVATE CONCERNS.

The sooner the managers OF the
Washington traction companies discov-
er they are guiding the destinies OF
public and not private corporations the
sooner viii they find themselves free
from numerous difficulties which now
enmesh them There Is . huge dit
ference between a dry goods store, an
Insurance company, a real estate firm.
or a bank and a street railway com
pany. ANY OF the former are essentially
private institutions They may follow
any sort of policy or may indulge in
any sort OF methods, but as long as
such policies and methods are legal
they are. Of no direct concern 10 the
general public. True, the companies
may suffer loss OF public patronage OF
good VIII, but no one but themselves
VIII be hurt and no one but themselves
can fairly criticise them.
This Is not true of street railway
corporation, of q telephone. gas. water.
OF electric light company. The es-
sential difference is found in the TACT
that these concerns utilize the public
thOTOughfares IN the conduct Of their
business Usually the difference IS
emphasized by the absence Of com
petition The public service companies
especially IN the smaller communities
generally enjoy a monopoly. The
public Is not free to decline to patron
lie them If 1t does not approve OF
their policies and methods. 1t must
patronize them This being true, and
1t being true that these companies use
the public's streets, alleys, parks. side
walks, and other commonly-owned
property. these corporations are prac-
tically public institutions, IN the ad-
ministrstiOn OF whose affairs the pub
lie has an inherent right to participate
Here IN Washington, while we have
two street railway companies, we have
very little street railway competition.
The city Is pretty evenly divided be
tween the two corporations In many
respects the service Is the same that
would be given II there was but one
company. in some respects. service
Is not Is good as 1t would be If one
company owned all the lines For in
stance, we would then get universal
transfers. So far as results are con
cerned, Washington enjoys few ad-
vantages from the fact that there are
two street car systems here instead
Of one. The right of the people, then,
TO be heard and. needed on street car
affairs because OF the mOnopOlistiC
character OF a street car company,
holds good in Washington as elsewhere.
Judging from their attitude toward
the people Of Washington, the mansg-
ers OF the traction companies consIueI
they are operating private concerns
in which the public has no interest
They not only refuse TO consider the
wishes and comfort of the public by
furnishing comfortable cars in hot
weather, but they even refuse TO tel
the public why they persist IN using

have open cars stored IN their barns

pieion that they don't care what the
public thinks and furthermore that they
propose TO 90 right ahead doing as they
please whether the public likes It or
not
1t would be well for the officials OF
the two street railway companies to
sit down and ask themselves seriously
whether the people of Washington are
not entitled tc some slight eonsldera-
ton.
