AMERICAS is MECCA OF
FARMER With BALES
Receipts Here to Date Exceed
Hundred Bales

With probably more than one hun
dred bales cotton of the new crop
weighed at her warehouses already,
almost that number having been re-
ceived yesterday alone, Americas IS
quite the busy cotton market Of in
terror Georgia and will so continue
as her daily receipts run to the thou
sand bale mark.
The warehouses were scenes of more
than usual activity yesterday as the
feecy harbingers of prosperity pour
ed in, and very soon cotton money
was in evidence in trade circles.
Before noon more than sixty bales
had been brought in and, for the most
part sold, as Ground II 1-2 and y
cents, there will be no concerted
holding movement among the farm
ers, particularly when a little new
cotton money is needed for meeting
current expenses.
The severe drop of % points the
day before put the local market at the
II IL cents notch yesterday, and
most of the cotton sold here was at
or about II IL cents. But even this
is considered a good price and it is
only hoped that the market will keep
at that high level until the early crop
comes in.
There will be no bumper crop
but a good one, nevertheless, and Il
IL cents is not a bad price at all.
Yesterdays receipts practically
opened the cotton season here as
while, the official opening is not I'M
til September list, Americas will have
received several thousand bales BY
that date and the market will be y
full swing. Probably 5000 or $500
bales will be brought to Americas dur
ing August.
During one season several years
ago August receipts went well above
$500 bales, and that, too, when con

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
II has been pointed out repeatedly
during the past few weeks how the ex-
penses of this and other cities are made
large through numerous unnecessary
office jobs" These positions are filed
by politically-favored persons, drawing
good salaries. That is about the extent
of their efforts. So far as the real
work of the municipality is concerned,
they take no part in 1t.
Why not appoint a state commission
to Inspect he municipal departments
throughout the State, with the power
to remove those who only add to the
expenses? It is a well-known act that
this is the condition of affairs, and it
is a wonder that the taxpayers. who
have to pear this unjust burden, have
not insisted on some concerted action
to wipe out these unnecessary offices.

JOSEPH PULITZER.

IN PROMINENT figure is removed from journalism by the death
NV of Joseph Pulitzer. For many years editor of the st. Louis
Post Dispatch, he bought the New York World when it
was an oldfashioned conservative Democratic paper and completely
reyolutionzed it's methods, ultimately making it a power in jour
naHsm. Mr.. Pulitzer had been practically blind for many years,
but kept in constant touch with the policy and operation of his
paper. The career of this man is illustrative alike of the oppor
tnnihes of talented and ambitious young men in our country and
of the quality of many of the immigrants who come to America
with no capital except their hands and brains. Mr.. Pulitzer won his
citizenship by enlsting in the army in the Civil War, and when
the war ended he was so well Americanized that he entered jour
nalsm AMI politics, served in the Missouri Legislature, was elected
to Congress and became a prominent public man as of the manner
born. He instituted a new school of journalism. His gift of a
million to Columbia University for a school of journalism will
doubtless be matched in his will by munifcent public gifts out of
his great private fortune.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I observe that It is proposed to re-
move the body of that brave New Jer-
sey soldier, General Philip Kearny, to
the National Cemetery at Arlington.
It is well known that he was killed
soon after the second battle of Bull
Run at or near Chantilly. The spot
was directly IN the Little River Turn
pike, and several people in this sec
ton can identify the spot.
l make the suggestion that the spot
should be marked by a of
some kind or. better still. by an eques-
trian statue. l am Informed that the
owner Of the and has said he would
give an acre OF lane for that purpose.
Or it might be located near Groveton

REFORM OF BANKRUPTCY PRACTLsEs.

m STATEMENT of the objects of the newly formed National
IN Legal Reform Association relates to reform of praetises
in bankruptcy cases that W in their nature knayish and
fraudulent and are morally as bad as crimes against property that
come within the puryiew of the criminal law. What better is it
than criminal conspiracy for attorneys in coHusion to force busl.
ness men into bankruptcy to destroy their credit and the value
of their property, and then, manipulating their affairs, to squeeze
out the last dollar. leaving the bankrupt completely stripped, the
creditor getting a fraction of his claim? Practises like this tend
to create a prejudice against the legal profession, and all the more
because they are carried ON with apparent impunity by the few who
are unscrupulous enough TO engage in them.

Ing to assemble all the men of war
that can conveniently be spared in
New York harbor for advertising pur-
poses e1cites interest. Secretary Meyers
way OF distributing men of war wher-
ever a craft would float was an en-
tirely new departure, and he ave to
many people their first view OF a war

probably valuable, out whether 1t Is a
good thing to have a navy kept up for

magnificent outlay will be brought
forcibly TO the minds of the people, and

A FIGHT BETTER THAN SUSPENSE.

IT r the Morgan and other great interests can hold up rue market
against the downward pressure due to the government suit
to dissolve the steel corporation it will probably be because
the management of the big combination and the stockholders, large
and small, feel on the whole relieved that the question of the
trusts status under the Sherman law is to be tested and settled
after long suspense. The governments case against the steel trust
does not look as dmidabe as those against the Standard Oil and
tobacco trusts, but there is one very strong point for the prosecu-
ton in its attempt to prove restraint of trade, and that is the way
in which the steel trust by moral suasion' and the Gary dinners
prevented concessions in prices even when duh times cut down the
demand and after the panic of 1907. The steel trust managers pro
fess that they welcome a fight in court and now that it must come

AMERICANS IN THE CARDLNALATE.

cT1 HE creation of three cardinals by the Holy See at Rome was
entirely unexpected by the Catholic world in the United
States and the news came as a great surprise. For years
American Catholics have felt the injustice of a single representative
in the cardinalate. With preates distinguished in Europe as well
as in America for their learning, piety and yea, the church in
America has had but one voice in the Sacred College, that of Cardi.
nal Gibbons. In no other country in the world has the Catholic
church grown and prospered to the extent it has in the United
States, where it is entirely unhampered by government, and there
exists in no European country as loyal a devotion TO the church.
1t has been = matter of wonder that year after year there was no
announcement of the creation of another American cardinal. The
wonder ceases.

control of the waterway. Railroad interests opposing the barge
canal project are now energetically working to defeat the constitu

appropriation of about %$20000,000 for canal terminals and facii
ties. A companion amendment forbds the sale or lease of canal
basins or docks to private interests, to secure the terminals from

To the EDITOR OF the Evening Star:
Allow me to comment, on moral
grounds, tho attitude of the STAR in
giving so much of its valuable space
to reports covering the trial of divorce
suits.
It is publicity that the evil-doer in
the domestic circle fears more than
anything else and publicity Is often
the only deterrent to actions that lead
into the divorce courts. The state
recognizes the fact b. compelling the
parties in such causes to appear in
open court whenever there is a defense.
Even In cases where there is no de-
Tense, while the proceedings are usu-
ally before a master In chancery, they
can be heard by anybody.
But all these public hearings amount
to little or nothing unless the facts are
published in the press. L. L.
