Southern Gold and Southern Cotton.
Before 1S49 the south furnished the
chief gold fields of the country, but
since that date the south has not been
in the running. This section has been
outclassed by California, by Colorado,
by Nevada, and last but not least by
Alaska In the last fiscal year Alabama
produced gold to the value of $41,20O
and silver to the value of 5000. This
state was outranked in gold produc-
ton in order by North Carolina,
Georgia, and South Carolina, but
no one of them turned out enough
gold to make the round figure of $780,.
900. The entire production of gold in
the south in the last year was $780,
400 and $273,000 in silver. Nearly all
the silver was mined in Texas.
1t is pretty plain that Alabama and
all the rest of the south can get more
gold out of the soil via the cotton boil
than it can dig out in the gold mines
proper. The climate and the soil can
in that way be coined into gold. The
method is trifle more circuitous, but
1t yields in cotton alone more money
nine times over than do all the gold
fields in the country, for the total
yield of gold in the last fiscal year
in this country was but 1914, 56O,OO0.-

John I. Sullivan, the former cham

matches that are nothing less tnan
prize fights are held frequently in 10
eaiities popularity esteemed much less
benighted than Reno.
It cannot be questioned that the cir
cumstances of the mil at Reno and the
aftermath of it have given a setback;
to prize fighting One thing that has
more than anything else done this IS
the senseless and inane injection of the
race question into the situation. Moth
ing could be more foolish than to i'm
agine that any question of the superb
Ority OF one race over the other Is in
volved IN this. Probably the indefen-
sibIe race riots which have occurred in
many cities have done more to disgust
people with the prize fighting business
than the actual occurrences at Reno
in themselves They were not much dif-
ferent from those of other big fights.
except that there was even more
greedy commercialism than usual, that
the national holiday was converted TO
base purposes and that the contest
was 50 one-sided as scarcely TO be
worthy the name Of a real battle
One of the Indirect results OF the stir
ring up OF race riots viii be 10 check the
sale of prize fight pictures, thus hit
ting at the profits of the promoters,
though they viii be amply rewarded
for their pains. But 1t may well be
doubted If prize fighting Is anywhere
near the end in this country So long
as gOod-sized fortunes are made out
OF it and the great bulk Of the public
gets wildly excited over a champion
ship event, 1t looks ike an excess OF
optimism TO expect 1t TO die.

SENATCR TAYLOR OF Tennessee, one

CONSUNfPTIVES MADE VIC
TINS OF FRAUD.

It Is almost beyond human power to
believe there are, anywhere IN the
world. persons who are willing 10
thrive on the despair OF those who. al
tiicred by the great white plague
turn 20 any remedy that holds out
even the faintest hope Of life and
health According 20 the statements
Of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
however, there are such, and their
revenues amount TO SI5,0oO,0OO d year
This society has Just announced that
100000 Is spent annually to adver-
tise quack consum JJion cures, and tn I
SO -0UO. 600 Is the tribute drawn from
consumptives for remedies that have
been proved worthless
The regrettable part OF the state
ment IS that it Is probably true. We
can be tEankfuI that knowledge con
corning consumption Is being gained
by TIE masses Of the people rapidly,
and that the time Is speedily approach
in- when this great, useless outlay viii
be cut down. but We cannot escape the
conviction that such frightful waste
Is weIl-nich criminal
There are Just three remedies for
consumption There are positively but
three, and they must be taken simui-
taneously- They are fresh air, rest,
and wholesome food Any other treat
ment Is a fraud, and should be Stunned
by every consumPtive who has the
sIirhtest desire to live.

RIGHT TARIFF WOULD NOT
NEED \ DIAGRAM.

Representative Nicholas LongwOrth
of Ohio. son-in-Iaw OF former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has been explaining
the Pavne-Aldrich tariff law 10 his
Buckeye constituents Mr. Longworth
says that when the people understand
the law he Is sure they VIII indorse It.
The trouble, according 10 him, Is that
the masses don't know how the tariff
law works
Mr. LOngworth ISN'T the first stand
patter who has given. expression TO
such views in the last ten months. His
words have been the burden Of the
standpat song from Maine TO Cali
fornia- The people have been deceiv-
ed They don't know that the tariff
has really been revised downward
When it Is explained TO them every
thing viii be- lovely
Maybe It viii and maybe II won't
This much Is certain The people are
now skeptical- and give every indication
of continuing to be skeptical, OF law
that has TO be explained That's Just
what's the matter with the new tariff
The people have no evidence that 1t
has been revised downward except the
words of the men who tinkered with L.
If the people had been able to discover
a reduction in the prices OF the things
they buy 1t would not be necessary
now for Mr. Longworth and his stand
pat colleagues to draw diagram OF
the Payne-Aldrieh bill In order TO in
duce the people TO believe 1t Is what Is
pretends to be
