The Campaign Poster.

England is represented as plastered with
posters during its Parliamentary cam
paign. Both parties have We'd in ex-
plotting their arguments through the vivid
art of the cartoonist. The bilboards are
reckoned by miles, so that the voters
may read as they walk or run. Many
OF these graphic appeals are addressed
10 the unemployed in cities. Thus the
Conservatives present a family starving
beneath the caption OF Free trade" and
the Liberals paint equal distress under
taxes on food, labeled Protection" The
Liberals exhibit dukes with coronets
squeezing tenants; the Conservatives re-
tort with grim exhibits Of the German
peril One Conservative candidate. who
IS brewer, does not neglect the oppor-
tunity to exploit the alleged physical
benefits resulting from a reasonable use
Of his product. II may be assumed that
these pictorial propaganda are addressed
chiefly to those who neither listen 20
speeches on the hastings nor read the
reports and comments in the newspapers
They are efforts 70 touch the emotions.
or the prejudices, or the interests of the
uneducated or unintelligent. II he be a
jobless man, he cannot fail to associate
free trade with a starving mother and
child, If the picture Of their distress stares
him in the face every day, at every turn.
Or if he beholds a big loaf of bread
labeled Free trade" and a smaller loaf
branded Protection" he may ACQUIRE
the belief that government revenue de-
rived from food means a dear loaf. Such
cartoons appeal 10 a mans pocket and to
his stomach; or, as in the case of the
German peril. they may stir his senti-
ment OF patriotism.
Much Of the force of such appeals lies
In their repetition day after day, in high
way after highway Reiteration may in
duce a habit of thought Such a method
is obviously more adapted to crowded

centers OF population than to rural
regions. An essential feature of the car
toon is that to be effective it must be
extreme, which means that in most cases
il must exaggerate the truth. But 1t is
possible that such picture may offend
and ALLEVIATE an observer Of some cultiva-
ton of brain. while its repetition may
awaken his active antagonism. Again
the lurid campaign poster may be resented
as an insult to the intelligence. It's ex-
tensiye use may resemble a monsuous
kindergarten, and grown men may object
to being addressed as children, The edu-
cation Of a democracy will enable It's in
dividual constituents more and more
clearly to discriminate as TO the sincerity
and truth OF such graphic appeals.

Alexandra County and the District.

will be fully warranted, if he approve the
reasoning in the brief submitted TO the
Senate, in taking the initiative toward
solution by the United States Supreme
Court.
The District of Columbia does not need
the whole Of Alexandria County. II may
never need it, The scheme of develop
ment of Washington is not dependent
upon the reacquisition Of that large and
valuable tract Ownership by the govern
ment of land comprising the Virginia
river front and certain other ground ad-
jacent to Arlington National Cemetery IS
most desirable. Mr.. Taft gave voice to
this desire in his speech to citizens OF
the District last May.
But the situation. apparently. offers no
basis Of compromise Either the act was
constitutional or unconstitutional, and
the entire area is involved. If unconsti-
tutional Alexandria County in its en-
tirety must revert 10 the District Of
Columbia, and become once more a part
of the original ten miles square II Con-
gress exhausted its power when it estab-
lshed the site Of the Capital and acquired
the land therefor, then the act of retro
cession was null and void if a quadrilat-
eral contract was broken. then it seems
equally clear that the original grants by
Maryland and the nineteen property own
ers would not necessarily hold. A singu-
lar phase Of the case is that the effect OF
the reuocession upon the contract or
agreement vas not taken into account
by the statesmen who debated the prob
lem in 1916 and others who have devoted
time and thought to it since.
As we have said the situation is dis
quieting at best All things considered,
a decision upholding the constitutlonality
Of the act would doubtless the better con-
serve the interests OF all concerned in
that it would permit the government TO
acquire from Virginia by equitable means
such additional land as may seem TO be
needed; but If the rerOcession was IN
constitutional, certainly the fact should
be established and the complications re-
sultant therefrOm adjusted now. and not
left for future generations to deal with.

The WabbIing of Cotton

From the point of view OF the pro-
ducer-the man who raises and sells the
fleecy staple at first hsnd-the wabbIy con-
duct OF cotton here OF late would appear
TO be highly unsatisfactory. A market
skyrocketng one day and tobogganing
the next day may be exciting for specU-
lators, but the spectators are the least
important factors in the production, sale
and manufacture of cotton-or. at least
they ought Of right, and on the merits OF
the case, 10 be.
The farmers of the South early in the
season set their eyes on Is cents as a fair
and just price for cotton. That seemed
not unreasonable. If 10 to y cents was
considered equitable ten years ago-and
il was-15 cents may be accepted as about
the correct figure for to-day. This leaves
a margin Of from SO 1-3 to 90 per cent TO
provide for the increased cost Of cultiva
ton and proper marketing, and also con-
siders the higher cost of living in general.
Therefore. the disposition Of the crop at
10 cents ought 10 have been satisfactory.
Unfortunately however. when cotton
reached 10 cents 1t did not appear to
impress the farmers as the altogether
lovely thing it promised to be when cot
ton was hanging down around Il or p
cents. At Is cents. 16 cents began 70
loom on the horizon as about the proper
figure; then at 16, II began to heave in
sight This. at least, is the broader
aspect of the matter. Then came a con-
centrated effort 10 boost cotton to 90 cents
per pOund-an absurd price, proportion
ately. Somewhere along the way above

and cotton slumped. all in a bunch. some

bale. Nowadays it is wabbling. lust

anything like stability. nobody knows. of
course. But 1t seems reasonably certain
that the farmer will not get. in the long
run. an average of more than Is cents

There are few buyers or sellers Of real

that might be approximately fixed at the
beginning of the season and held steady
to its close. Surely such a market would
be a wonderfully helpful thing to the cot
ton TaiseTS-in the main, small farmers
and people Of very moderate means.
They would then be able to calculate TO
a nicely the seasons fraction of income
and Outgo to be charged against cotton;
and it is the uncertainty Of these things
that has been the stumbling-block in
the way Of the cotton planters existence
down South for years.
