Gamblers Methods.

| Late estimates in regard to the cotton crop, which make the yield for the season 12,660,OOO bales, furnish another argument against taking the "crop killer'' too seriously. That prices declined S1.85 a bale on the issuance of this estimate shows that, notwithstanding the repeated lessons that they have had recently, the speculators persist in depending upon reports of so-called "crop experts'' who are sent out by brokerage houses for the express purpose of making re- ports to bolster up the side of the market on which they happen to be at the time. These paid experts first ''ruined" the wheat crop, and estimated" that the yield would be between D and 50 per cent of d crop. When thls was given the lie, they predicted heavy shortage in oats, and when it became evident that the oat crop would be a bumper one, they turned their attention to the corn crop, and predicted dire disaster in that direction. When this crop also turned out to be record breaker they finally determined to kill off the cotton crop. The encouraging ad- vices in regard to the cotton crop were all that were needed to fill the country's thorn of plenty" and mark the beginning ot an era of un- eXampled prosperity.

 "The Roosevelt is trying to carve out for itself an ineradicable niche in the archives of destiny"
 "What a noble and lofty purposel And how does the Roosevelt intend to accomplish his design?"
 "By opposing some things and standing for other things"
 "What then does the Roosevelt oppose?"
 "Everything that the Roosevelt does not stand for"
 "And what does the Roosevelt stand for?''
 "The Roosevelt stands for justice if not carried too far, for uprightness if it is not overdone, for peace if it is practiced in moderation, for equity if itsis kept within bounds, for right .eousness if it is not allowed to become subversiye of anything, for demo- cracy if it does not encroach upon the rights, emoluments, franchises and ambitions of the Roosevelt.
