sion Selects Chairman.
SUCCEEDS JUDGE KNAPP
New Head, Elected at Conference
Today, Is q Democrat.
FAv0Rs GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Has Always Stood for Protection OF
Public Against Illegal
Practice.

Judson c.. Clements of Georgia was
elected chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission to succeed Judge Mar
tin A. Knapp Of New York at a spe-
cial conference Of the commission held
today. Mr.. Clements is the senior pem-
ber Of the commission and is demo-
crat.
While the commission is composed Of
four republicans and three democrats, at
present, It has been the uniform policy
Of the commission since its creation to
elect its senior member as chairman en-
tirely irrespective OF his political af-
filiations.
It has resulted, therefore, that the
presiding commissioner at times was
republican when the democrats were in
majority, and conversely, a democrat was
chairman when the republicans were in
majority, as in the present instance.
Election Is Important.
The election Of chairman of the COM
mission is highly important, not only to
the transportation companies and to the
shippers, but also to the public generally.
He exerts a powerful influence upon the
operations Of the commission. and, what
is equally as important, he Is ex-ofiicio
one Of the mediators under the Erdman
act. which provides q means of adjust
ment Of controversies that may arise be-
tween common carriers and their en-
ployes. The commissioner OF labor is the
other mediator.
Judge Clements is q native of Georgia,
born In 1846. He served as member
Of the Georgia legislature from 1871 to
1880, being largely instrumental IN the
creation Of the Georgia railroad commits
sion. From 1880 to 1880 he was repre-
sentative in the national Congress. with
drawing from the contest foNrenomina-
ton in 1890 because. Of his opposition to
government ownership Of railroads, which
e majority OF the voters Of his district
advocated.
He WAS appointed TO the commission
by President Cleveland in March, 1888.
and has received three successive ap-
pointments
RSgarded - Conservative.
yudxe Clements has no hobbies except
10 IDEAL He - regarded as one Of the
consefvatives OF the commission. al
tlouxh tor many years he has advocated
vigorously In public speeches and before
Congress adequate supervision and con-
troll by the government Of common car
riers. His efforts have been directed, as
shown by his decisions, to the protection
Of stockholders, investors and the public
against practices declared to be both
legally and morally evil.
No decision OF his ever has been re-
versed on its Substantial merits by the
Supreme Court, and he has been as insist
ent upon fair dealing for the carriers as
for the shippers. He is regarded as a
conservator Of Justice and peace in the
commerce and industry of the country,
and il sQuare-toed in his belief in the
propriety Of aMording protection to prop
erty rights and in permitting owners Of
property to utilize 1t to their reasonable
advantage

enormous loss to the people Of the

l wonder if it is generally
known in the South that seed cot
ton held after picking for two or
three months before ginning seems
to continue to develop-the staple
growing longer and the seed
heavier. If | have opportunity
later ON l shall say something
more on this subject.
My business in Texas at present
in the introduction and CONNER,
cialization Of the Price-Campbell
Cotton Picking Machine. It is
now perfected. 1t does the work
of from thirty to forty hands and
does better work than hand pick
ers at about one-tenth Of the cost.
Its general Introduction means less
hardship, more intelligence and
greater profits to the farmer and
the community. More than this,
and most important of all, it
means normal and refined lives
for the women Of the South, and
education and intelligence for the
children that they have borne.
It has been examined and in
dorsed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the
Texas Department of Agricul-
ture, and hundreds of prominent
men, whose written opinions we
can supply on application.
l shall be glad if all the men in
the South who sympathize with
me in ne ideals I have set before
myself in this enterprise will COM
municate with me.
| would like every man IN the
South who is interested in cotton
to see the Cotton Picking Ma
chine at work. Unfortunately I
can not carry it around and ex-
hibit it, but it is commercially at
work in the vicinity Of Dallas,
and is also on exhibition picking
cotton at the State Fair at Okla

at work at the State Fair in Dali
lag from October IA to Octaber

to see it.-Theo. T. Price.

FOR CHEAPER LIVING.

The movement against the mid.
Idlemen and commission trust
which, in fact, is a movement for
cheaper living is becoming nation
wide. The first step was taken
when the Farmers Alliance es-
tablished a great market in New
York City, and it has been fol
lowed by the labor unions Of Chi
cage with a cooperative store for
the supply OF food. 1t Is said
that three years ago an effort of
this kind failed because the rail
road companies worked with the
commission merchants to ruin the
enterprise.
Labor unions everywhere, +"
says the Indianapolis News,
could form a most potent aid to
the effort to reduce the high cost
OF living by rescuing the markets
from the trusts that now have
control Of them. No one is more
interested in the success Of the eff
fort than the workingmen, and,
as they have the organization,
they can become a powerful help
in this movement Of the people to
get fair play. It is no more local
affair-ne more Shower It is a
movement that extends from New
York to the Far West, and Is
starting up with a spontaneity
that shows its genuineness and
stamps it as being Of the people,
for the people"
1t is expected, Of course, that
will be made in the be-
ginning; but when the people are
determined to be no longer de-
frauded it will be safe to be OH
their side. From Chicago comes
the news that producers are now
getting more for their products,
while the consumers are enjoying
lower prices.-Exchange.
