OUR IMPORTS OF COTTON.

- y
1t seems strange to see the greatest
cotton producing country of the world
bringing raw cotton half way around
the globe and importing it for use in
her own manufacturing industries. 1t
is nevertheless a fact that the United
States, which produces practically
two-thirds of the worlds cotton,
brought from China during the last
fiscal year Q91D more than million
pounds of raw cotton, at cost in that
country Of more than 1 million dol
lars and from India in 1910 about 1-2
million pounds, at valuation of more
than half million dollars. Other
distant sections of the world were all
so drawn upon-Peru, 4 3-4 million
pounds in 1911; Dutch East Indies, in
1909, nearly a half million pounds;
Haiti in 1911, nearly a half million
pounds. while other contributors in
clude Venezuela. Ecuador, British
West Indies, Santo Domingo, Mexico,
Panama, Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
while from Egypt, the chief source of
supply of long stapled, high grade
cotton, the imports in 1911 were larg-
er than in any earlier year, amount
ing to SS million pounds In addition
to this there was imported from Eng
land about z 1-2 million pounds, pre-
sumably chiefly East Indian, Egyptian
and West African, since England, of

ton importations in 1911 were larger
than in any earlier year, amounting
to 113,768,313 pounds, valued at $24,-

High prices Of domestic cotton are

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?
Some Facts About Both
There are a half million young men
CALIFORNIA-..KANSAS

There are half million young men
and women in Kansas over 81 years
Of age who have never seen saloon
in that state.
There Is not Kansas newspaper
which publishes a liquor advertise
ment
Onethird of the counties of Kansas
have not prisoner in their jails nor
a pauper in their poorhouses.
One-half Of the counties of Kansas
did not send convict to the peniten-
tiary last year.
Kansas stands first in the per capita
valuation of assessed property.
In recent speech Judge Mcdaniel
gave the following figures: five hun
dred criminals in Kansas state pris-
ons, $500 in California state prisons;
600 insane persons in the asylums of
Kansas, 5000 in the asylums Of CAL
ifornia. About the same population
and about the same wealth in the two
states-one dry, the other wet. Seven
times as many criminals and 10 times
as many lunatics in the wet state as
in the dry. And this does not include
the lunatics in California who believe
the abolishment of saloons will ruin
business.-Home Alliance.
A resident of California, who recent
ly traversed the state of Kansas, says
that this story is not overdrawn, that
in addition to the inmates in the asy-
lums that there are 1000 lunatics in
private sanitoriums in California.

The Jail bill for dieting was $1165.OO
for one month this year. a year or
more ago Bakersfield elected a mayor
who had enough civic virtue to under
take to reform this city His efforts
brought into the fghst an element with
certain facts and truths that ought
to be known to all men and women,
that are struggling to rid the earth of
the curse of liquor, (Although these
conditions exist in every community,
more or less), to wit: Northern capi-
talists have immense holdings at this
place, as they do ali over the Pacific
Coast. And wherever they have gone
they have carried their develish So
cial influences. Wherever the hench-
men of these moneyed nabobs light
down, as they have done in the great
oil fields around Bakersfield, working
with great salaries, they go to work
to surround themselves with all the
concomitants and pharaphernalia of
vice dissolution, reverly and debauch-
cry. The saloon must always be in
reach, wine, women, music, vaudeville,

men and women have been married

nese and Indian cottons are as rule
of shorter staple than that Of the
United States. and as consequence
are rated at somewhat lower price
In the worlds markets, fact which
accounts for the large growth in the
importation Of these cottons in the
recent years in which American cot
ton has commanded exceptionally high
prices. On the other hand, Egyptian
cotton which is of longer staple, high
er quality, and therefore higher in
price than that Of the United States,
still forms large proportion Of the
imports, the quantity imported direct
from Egypt in 1911 being So million
pounds out of total la million
pounds imported in that year, and it's
value 20 1-2 millan dollars, out of the
"a 3-4 million dollars worth of cotton
imported
Cotton importation has shown a
steady if not rapid growth, especially
during the last 10 years. Prior to the
Civil War the quantity imported sell
dom reached more than million
pounds per annum. During the war
the quantity imported was quite large
ranging as high as SO million pounds
In 1865. but dropping to million
pounds in 1866 and less than L mil
lion in 1857. BY 1870 the total impor-
tation of cotton was / 2-3 million
pounds; in 1880, 1-2 millions; in 1890
1-2 millions; in 1900, G7 millions; in
1910, SO millions and in 1911, 113 Sd

These millionariesl with the liquor
power direct (1t is always on hand to
fight prohibition or restriction) went
into 1t and defeated the mayor, using
corruptive funds and importing voters
Now vice and immortality have full
swing. This is wickedness In high
places.
The enemies of temperance in the
South have labored in vain to make the
people believe that the fight for bet
ter things-for closing the saloon-is
of Northern origin, they have called
it a Yankee hoax" cor heresy", then
remembering that the liquor is manu-
featured North, and in order to eXtri-
cate themselves, they proclaim that
the liquor men can sell more where
prohibition prevails than where it
doesn't. Then again they find them
selves confronted with the undeniable
truth that in every fight against the
sale of liquor, this same greedy, un-
godly and constituencies liquor power
is found with its ill-gotten money.
No prohibition is in reality a South
ern product. Wickedness in high plac-
es amongst officials, low saloon poll
tics, aggregated corruption, assisted
by a few good but mistaken men in
Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile
and the wicked cities on the gulf may
hinder or defeat statewide prohibition
in these states. the penicious and
farreaching influence of Atlanta, Sa-
vannah, Mobile and Augusta may bring
some seeming reaction in Georgia, but
thank the Lord there is enough civic
virtue remaining in the boundless
areas of the rural districts and small
Ter towns in these, and South Carolina,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi
Oklahoma and others to forever put a
ban upon the trarc. The gentleman
who gave us facts about California
and Kansas drew a vivid contrast in
conditions in the twin cities of Kan

Not a night without murder or some

These things exist to meet the de-

petites, low vices and sordid wretched-
ness, encouraged and permitted by
wickedness in high places.
