Good Citizens.

True words We're those uttered a

esteemed Judge John l.. Hopkins of
Georgia, a juriSt and legislator who
stands at the head of the Georgia. bar.
In a communication to the Atlanta
Constitution this Georgian Nestor IL

calmly and with deliberation, weigh

Saxon" Good words and true No
man liveth to himself and no COM
munity prospers which disregards the
communitys welfare as a whole. The
great thing is the recognition that So
ciety is unit. If part of the body
polite is bad the whole suffers and
is liable to deterioration. Judge Hop
kins pleads against the spirit of
hatred, rancor and reprisa1 and it is
good to know that the Atlanta Con-
stltutlon finds this sentiment endorsed
by the Georgia newspapers, court Off

city of Springfield, up above us on the

tirely to the heat that there is in that

COTTON GOODS IN LATIN AMER.
ICA

| Although the United States grows
| two thirds of the cotton consumed in
| the world, yet it supplies to foreign
| nations only a fraction of the manu-
| featured cotton goods they consume
| This is equally true of nations on this
| continent, where, by reason of proxim-
/ ity and other advantages, the United
! States should naturally control the
| trade.
To investigate this peculiar situa-
| ton, and find out what can be done
| to enlarge the share of the United
States in the trade of American ma
tons to the south of this country, the
bureau of manufactures sent w. A.
Graham Clark. an experienced cotton
manufacturer. to Cuba Mexico, and
the Central and South American ma
tons. Two volumes of his reports
have just been printed, and present
many interesting facts.
Cuba gives the United States a 80
per cent. preference on cotton goods
and 40 per cent. on knit goods. and yet
this country supplies only 10 per cent.
of Cuba's imports of such goods, the
United Kingdom furnishing SO per
cent. Mr.. Clark says that the United
States might have a larger proportion
of the trade if The exporters would
make a closer study OF the details
Mexico manufactures considerable of
the cotton goods consumed in that
country. but the mills do not keep up
with the growing demand. The Unit
ed Kingdom again leads in the i'm
port trade, the United States coming
second and Germany third. And yet
Mexico is connected with the United
States by both rail and water routes
and this country is her best customer.
Il
goods consumed the United Kingdom
furnishing one-half of the supply and
the United States. Germany and other
countries the remainder
The United States predominates in
the total trade of all of those coun-
tries excepting Guatemala, but leads
in supplying cotton goods only in
Honduras The United States sup
plies So per cent. of Mexico's imports,
II per cent. of Cuba's and AZ per cent.
of those of Central America, but in
cotton goods it supplies only II per
cent. of the imports of al lof those
countries.
Brazil is the second largest import
err of cotton goods in South America
The United States buys more of Bra
ziPs products than any other nation
but supplies her with only 235 per
cent. of her imports of cotton goods
the quantity having declined consid-
erably in recent years. The United
States supplies Colombia with only
one-fifth of her requirements in cot
tons, and there has been a decline of
over one-half in the exports to that
country since 1908. Venezuela gets
only thirteenth of her supply of
cotton goods from the United States.
Mr. Clark throws considerable light
on this condition Of things, and the
Bureau of Manufactures hopes for
better results after these reports have
been well circulated.

TAFT TO BOSTON BOYS AND

Boston had the honor of having
President Taft as its bright particular
star on the Fourth, and those who
believe in a safe and sane Fourth will
be pleased with his impressive little
address to the children of the Hub
when he said:
My dear boys and girls: 1 am de-
lighted to be here on the Fourth of
July and to@ congra tulate you on be-
ginning this movement in favor of
safe and sane Fourth. 1 always pre-
fer a live boy or girl to a dead or

may not be sacrificed in the foolish
desire TO make a noise. Goodbye.

A CANAL TO BOSTON.

The new movement for the con-
struction of waterways as a means OF
cheapening freight rates has taken
hold of New England as well as the
west, ana the Worcester Telegram
wants to know what there is TO hinder
the construction of a canal from Wor-
eester to the Sound by way of the
Quinebaug. the Shetucket and the
Thames river. according to the plans
being entertained just prior to the
Introduction of steam and the open
ing of the Norwich & Worcester rail-
road. The Telegram, exploiting the
matter, SAYS:
Worcester men are taking more in
terest in canals since they have read
the announcement of the convention
of waterways advocates at Providence
the first of September. why can't we
have that old Providence canal open
ed?" would that be large enough
to amount to anything ~ why not
work for a canal from Worcester to
New London and then for an extension
TO Boston ?'' These are some of the
questions they are asking among
themselves. They are talking that if
the country is to pay for the inside
waterway as proposed from Maine to
Florida, the coast cities. like ProYi-
dence and Boston. are to get the nnbst
land cities, to move for a still larger
system of canals, and to Worcester
belongs the first move, because it is
the largest of the list of inland cities.
The outlook now is that there will be
something more than a formal dele
cation of Worcester business men to
attend that convention of waterways
promoters because it is near here
1.-THE chances are that there will be
nlr.a
suggestions as to what this city would
like in the way of supplementary ca
mails. One Worcester man admits that
he may go there prepared to claim
that the way through Worcester and
Norwich is the only right way to take
the commerce by a canal He has
gathered some ideas about distances
and possible expense of cutting ca
nails across Massachusetts, and he is
looking for more of them
He has been told that the canal
which is being cut across the neck of
Cape Cod will never be sufficient be-
cause it does not open the way for
ships far enough away from the ter
rors of the cape. Then it becomes
question as to how far away a ship
canal shall be dug to make it right
for all time, with the tremendous in
crease of commerce that is coming to
New England.
when that question is solved right
the canal may be a long ways from
ending in waters about Providence, so
far that it will extend direct from
Boston, through Waltham, to WOrces-
ter. and then directly south through
Oxford and Webster and down the
French river to Norwich and New Lon
don. That would be more expensive
than any Massachusetts canal that has
ever been given the name of Cape
Cod, but it would open the way to
more industry than is possible to half
a dozen canals anywhere near the
cape. That is the point for Worces-
ter men to consider, and that Provi-
denec session is the place for putting
it before the country under the head
of necessary waterways"

DON'T PUT THE OLD FELLOW
OUT.

Just at the close of the 18th round
of the Reno battle, this was the cry
of the friends Of Jeffries who desired
TO save him from the disgrace of an
utter knockout: Don't put the OLD
fellow outI''
This marks young man as old
fellow in the world of pugilisn1, for
Jeffries was only three years older
than Johnson-the battle was 50
against 35.
And how much better the spirit of
the fighting men at the rinssbde was
than the spirit of the sporting world
which raised disturbances and riots
in a dozen cities. The words of the
principals in the fight at the end were
manly.
Johnson, addressing the public:
I am happy and sad. Happy that
I won today's battle; sorry that 1
had to knock out such famous fighter
as Jim Jeffries
IT never was in doubt of victory. and
it came out just as L had planned
fought my own fight, a. waiting bat
tie, and have demonstrated I knew
my own way the best.
Il guess L have forever set at rest
all talk about yellow streaks' My
victory is not to be regarded as a
victory of color; color was not in
volved today. 1t was just plain box
ing science, stamina and punch. I
had all three"
Jenries' affirmation when the fight
was over was:
I lost fairly and squareIy. and there
IS nothing more to say. 1 did not
underestimate Johnsonss ability. It
was my own ability TO come back that
! was mistaken in. I have no excuses
10 offer for defeat. 1 believe I was
in perfect condition, but It is sure that
wasn't the fighter I used to be. I
thought could come back and failed
] am very sorry to have lost, and sor-
rier stiH to have disappointed the good
friends who relied upon me and back
ed me to win I did the best 1 could
but my best was not good enough.
Il congratulate Champion johnson
upon winning in a fair, square battle
Ills victory was honestly earned"
Johnson's egotism is excusabIe; JEFF
fries statement is honorable. Jeffries
is down and out, with a fortune that
should last him for life: and Johnson
has money enough and ability enough
TO leave prizefghting and to make his
mark IN more honorable pursuit
1t is some time since there was a
fight of this kind and the fact that
81 had to be fought in Nevada or
might have been pulled off in Texas.
shows how Gnited the territory is in
this great country where such mills"
can be openly carried out and presages
an end OF them in America in the near
future.
The Boston Post does not hesitate
TO say that 'the sentiment aroused
among the American people with re-
gard to the matter will undoubtedly
make itself evident in such amend
ment of the laws of Nevada as shall
bring that state into line with the
great majority. PrizefightinE as a
commercial enterprise cannot recover
from this experience. Those who saw
the Reno exhibition have undoubtedly
assisted at the final demonstration of
that magnitude in the United States"
