New Orleans March 12.-Cotton fu- lures opened quiet at decline of 10 5 points on lower cables than expected ln- medately following the first call prices recovered and on the more active months stood to points over yesterdays clos ing. Offerings was limited, the moder- ate buying was based on the bullish weekend statistics. The weather map noted but few light rains in the ex- treme west of Texas but that state was dry elsewhere which gave the new crop months a good tone. On the call October stood points down, but in the first half hour of trading sold points over yesterdays closing.
 The market continued to advance until tho more active months were 10 points Up from the bottom and 6 to points over yesterdays closing. Late cables from Jiverpool were encouraging. The stated that the treatment given James A. Fat ten by Manchester brokers yesterday was taken in the Liverpool market as con- elusive proof that Lancashire spinners were very short of raw cotton The weather forecast for over Sunday was for continued fair weather in the western belt and this steadied the market late in tba session in the face of considera ble nrofit-taking by longs. The closing was steady at met advance of to points.

THE GRIND OF POVERTY.

Editor of The Farmer. Sir:-I read in the paper that Ex-Secretary Shaw at banquet of Bridgeport club declared We live on sentiment" '" robbery that makes the high cost of living. If I remember rightly it was this same MT. Shaw who declared a few years ago: Tt is a sign of our prosperity that we can pay such high prices for everything" The more money you have in your purse the more money the highwayman can get good logic that.
 There were some points in his speech last night worth serious thought. England, France and Ger many consume three-fourths of their manufactured products and search the world with subsidized ships, each floating the flag of it's respective country to find a market for their 25 per cent. of surplus. We manufac- ture $5,O00, 100000 per annum more than England, France and Germany combined and we consume s5 per cent. of it all and wait for the coun- tries to come after our five per cent. of surplus. They will not always come. Manufactured products must be marketed. Food products will sell themselves. We pay out as much in and knowledge of this fact is wide spread, and million immigrants an nually reach our shores to divide this wage. These seek our factories, not our farms. They must be employed or there will be trouble.
 "Macauley said that the testing of the Republic will come when men who have had no breakfast and do not expect dinner elect the congress and the president. I do not care where he was born; I care not what language he speaks, or with what church he affliates, the man who is shungry himself and whose family is starving, is an unsafe citizen, wheth- CT armed with a ballot or with some thing apparently more formidable though in fact less effective
 From the above it is perfectly clear that in America where wages are higher than in England, France and Germany there is only per cent. surplus of manufactured goods while in the latter countries there is surplus of 25 per cent. My father always said that the home market was far better than any foreign market to be had-and MT. Shaw's s statistics prove the statement. My remedy is very simple. In- stead of battleships and merchant marine we must remember that ''the laborer is worthy of his hire." Then there will be no surplus.
 The sound of the gong of pros perity was somewhat marred by MT. Shaw's words: eff my logic is cor rect we are fast approaching a calamatous condition when products of labor will exceed the home market and when factories will be closed and men and women by the million beg bread.
 Does he mean that our era of "phenomenal prosperity" will get a severe jolt in 1911?
 He spoke truly of the power of the ballot. Vote right and avoid the awful grind of poverty.

ONCE more the life of child has been
the subject for judicial decision. I'm
like Justice Gummere, who said the life
of a child had no pecuniary value, the
justice who had the last case In hand de-
cided that the value of the child was ST.
500, cutting out the jury's verdict of So
900. The child was II years old and was
killed by the falling of pole which be-
longed to the owner of the property oc-
cupied by her father. In the case where
Justice Gummere rendered the decision
1t was held that the child could not be of
any special pecuniary benefit to the faith
er, being constant expense in the way
of keeping, clothing and feeding. In the
last case the court seems to have taken a
different view, but says it Is impossible to
award an amount covering the value of
child's life to its parents. If a child is
not-ef any pecuniary benefit to its pa

court fix the sum of 1,50Of

CHEsrNur SrREEr THEArRE


IA Milk White Flag is at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, this week.
1t is by the late Charles H. Hoyt, author
of such eminent successes as "a Temper
ance Town" "a Contented Woman, :" and
the much talked-of "a Midnight Bell, "and
is clever satire on the citizen-soldier who
belongs to military organization because
of the prestige brass buttons have with
the fair sex, and the general good time to
be had in the way of dancing, bowling,
pool and billiards, camping, parades, etc.
But when there is rumor of fight they
vanish like chat before a stiff wind. In
fact, it is told that particular regiment
(The Ransome Guards hold in their vault
enough doctors certificates of illness to
excuse the whole regiment, with only the
small necessity of filling in the date. GA
Milk White Flag" as mentioned, is most
| ly dealing with the ''Ransome Guards, :"
military company composed of many
officers and only one private, who is en-
ployed to keep the CLUB Armory in clean
illness and because of his ability to sing.
The "Ransome Guards" have a rival
military organization in town, the 'Daly
Blues, whose chief aim is to Guido the
'Ransomes' in every social venture The
hatred or jealousy is mutual. The
ludicrous love affairs, interming1ed with
this superb satire, blend into rafting
good play-one of unusual type. In this
three-act comedy it is essential to have
several specialties, and the versatility of
the Orpheum Players will be used to ex-
cellent advantage.

DR.. John w. Webb.

DIR. John w. Webb, well-known In this
county, died on Sunday last, at his home
In Island Heights, aged 81 years. He has
been falling for the past year or more, and
death was not unexpected.
DIR. Webb for many years made his
home in Toms River, leaving here to &c

Gloucester county, at Clayton, thence tc
Camden, and finally returned to Island
Heights. He was the son of Stacy and
Katherine Parker Webb, and was born
September II, 1929, at Pointville. His
father was prominent farmer and &C
quired competence.
DR.. Webb, as young man, first learned

defendant would not only be absolyed
from any damages at all, but should real
~ collect from the bereaved father for re-
ieying him from the burden of the child's
support. N
Evidently the court does not apply the
rule strictly. To do so would be too In.
human, and so 1t compromises and axes
an estimate on q child's life which squares
neither with its pecuniary nor its senti-
mental value
1T is high time that this law, a relic OF
mediavalism, had been changed TO con-
form with modern thought and present
day values of human life. 1t may be
true that the value of child's life to its
parents cannot be estimated, but it is only
right that In making compensation some
regard should be had to other than the
mere commercial value of life. In
Islander and libel suits the law permits
juries to render verdicts for punitive al
well as actual damages; why not in cases
such as the abovef''
