We Must Blame Ourselves.

The cotton farmers are in trouble
because thousands let the good price
of cotton make them lose their head
and plant all the land possible in
cotton.
One would suppose that the farm
ers of the South had had enough
OF that experience in the past. If
one-third the area had been planted
In cotton on good farming basis, and
the same big crop had been made,
there would not have been anything
like the trouble there Is, because
the cotton would have been grown
at lower cost, and other crops in
the rotation would make up the
difference and the farmers would
be getting cash for oats and corn
and hogs and cattle. The best plan
is to make a good rotation of crops
and stick to it and never let cotton
run away with your land because

of New York syndicate TO lend
southern cotton growers $50, 100000

prevailing can be obtainer were
made public here tonight by w. H.
Stayton, OF New York, who represen

In this statement M. Stayton says:
In a general way my people are
ready to advance $50, 900 to sup

are as follows:
mo. 1. The cotton owner will
deliver his cotton to the usual cot
ton buyer in his locality, who will
ouy the cotton and take title to it
Immediately.
mo. 2. The owner will receive
$25 per bale in cash on account, an
ficate setting forth the interest
which the owner has in whatever
price may thereafter be received for
the cotton.
mo. 8. The cotton owner may
at any time prior to January L,
l913, name a date when he wants
TO finally fix the price he Is to re-
ce1ve and on that date that he so
names, settlement will be made with
him on the basis of the prevailing
quoted prices for that date.
NO. f.. On this settlement the
farmer will be allowed the prices
MS cotton is worth on the date
named and from this sum will be
deducted the S25 ALREADY advanced

and also one dollar as the cost of

quarter OF the rise in price which
Will be the syndicate's compensation
for its services.
In other words, If the price does
not go up, the syndicate gets moth

insurance, etc, and If the price is
advanced through this movement

or the advance and the cottoner
the other three-quarters.
"Of course, 1t is not possible for

Peace or Senatorial Dignity.


The feeling that the senate is cap
tious about its treaty-making powers
seems to be growing, in view of the
objections raised in the senate to the
proposed arbitration treaties with Eng
land and France. The Saturday Even
ing Post puts 1t rather sptly in asking,
(which is the country most anxious
to maintain, peace or senatorial dig
nity?"
President Taft In his Hartford
speech rather exposed some of the
senators to the charge OF hair-splitting
in this utterance:
In what different way is the treaty
making power invoked when we ask the
senate TO concur in a treaty which agrees
to submit all justIciable differences TO
arbitration and when 1t is asked to agree
to submit 20 arbitration the question
whether difference arising Is 1ustlciable
or not under the treaty? I confess that
cannot see the distinction.
And neither can some of the rest OF

ity of such things. Certainly 1t will
hardly do to say that the constitu.
tionalist in the White House would
care to transgTess the organic law by
forcing out of the senate's hands any
power that belonged in them. by thil
or any other means. 1t may be settled
then, that so far as the president II
concerned he is as eager to preserve
to the senate every right 1t has in tn,
solemn function OF making treaties al
is the senate itself. But nothing is Il
be gained by being captious of thos,
rights.

by the president, the matter of sub

A Chance to Follow Up.

1t is given out that the state fire
warden will soon be in Omaha to
check up on the buildings condemned
some time ago under the new Nebraska
law requiring the removal of struc-
lures that constitute an undue fire risk
for their neighbors.
How to get rid of unsightly shacks
and tumble-down firetraps is a prob
lem with which Omaha has been grap-
ping unsuccessfully for years, and
when the state fire warden offered to
come to our relief the assistance was
hailed with delight. Most of the build
ings, however, that have been slated
to go are still in ocular evidence, and
1t is plain that a mere notification to
demolish served upon owners or agents

A Case Of sneedy Justice.


Assuming that the jury made no
error in reaching its verdict, the con-
viction of Beattie, the young Virginia
wife murderer, stands as an example
of speedy justice worthy of emulation
in other states and communities. The
crime was committed in July and in
less than two months the trial is over
the man found guilty and sentence
pronounced. OF course, the gauntlet
of appeal is yet to be run, but 1t must
be run quickly, for the execution is set
for November with stay of only
ninety days.
1t is not the appalling fact of a
young man going to his doom, even
for the commission of crime SC
heinous, that commends this case to
favorable consideration, but rather the
fact that simple justice seems to have
been the only objective In the process
of the arraignment and the trial
Technicality had to give way to it, un
necessary delays and continuances were

speedy and impartial trial." as the
organic law vouchsafes to every mar
accused of crime.
The truth was bad enough in thii
case, and the court and lawyers II
charge of the hearing seem to have
agreed on the importance Of keeping
out all the salacious features possible
excluding the nonessentials and goint
straight to the center of things. Ever
the defense seems to have done thi
with more than usual consistency, ant
undoubtedly 1t did not, in SO doing
lessen its effectiveness in behalf Of thu
accused.
The moral effect of this proceedinl
down in the primitive little court hous
in Virginia may be felt there and else
where. II not only dignifies law Il
enforce it promptly and firmly, but /
tends to discourage the commission o
crime. At least, the loose administra
ton OF justice has married many
mans respect for law.

Has Controller Bay Been 0verdrawni
Secretary Fisher brings back from
Alaska the report that Controller bay
is neither the only nor the best harbor
for the outlet OF the Boring river coal
fields. Can It be possible that some
body has erred in presenting the facts
about Controller bays Importance in
this connection? II would be too bad
to misrepresent a situation of this
kind. The country had been led to
suppose that exactly the opposite Of
what Secretary Fisher states was the
fact.
Nor is that the only popular impress
sion the secretary of the interior OPP
poses in his unofficial statements. He
pronounces the extent and character of
the coal fields grossly exaggerated and
announces that his policy will be the
opening and developing Of the fields,
but not under restricted private owner
ship, which should be reassuring to all.
The people will begin to see after a
while that they have been led into a
good deal of unnecessary confusion
and alarm as to what has been going
on In Alaska, no doubt. President
Taft's statement to congress on the
Controller bay situation is being set
forth, apparently, in even stronger
light than it originally appeared.
Undoubtedly a good many things
have been done with respect to govern
ment property and control in Alaska
that should have been left undone, but
the actual facts have been buried
under an impenetrable cloud of animus
and political prejudice. II now, this
covering is to be lifted and the inside
facts laid bare, so much the better, for
it is time to define working policy in
Alaska, both as 70 the physical de-
velopment of the resources and the
government. We incline to the belief
that the broad basis Of protecting the
rights of present settlers and investors
and the interests of the nation, limited
at by Secretary Fisher as his concep'
ton, is the one on which the govern.
ment should proceed The needs Of
the present, as we'll as future genera.
tions, have to be kept in mind.

"MOna Lisa's" Sad Smile that of
Mother Bereft.
fozt4In.orn C,n
Baltimore Sun.


The Mona Lisa" of Leonardo da vinci
which has Just disappeared from its place
of honor in the Louvre in Paris, may not
be the greatest painting in the world, but
most critics, without doubt, hold it to be
the greatest portrait. Not only is II ia
nous itself and security for the fame OF the
Florentine who painted It. but II has also
made an epic figure OF the woman 1t
representative Mona Lisa Gherardini, third
wife of Francesca del Giocondo, merchant
Of Florence. Who was the Mona Lsa-and
why her cryptic smile7 Since the days of
the good Vasari answers without number
have been forthcoming, and all have tended
TO make the merchants wife a stupendous
heroine OF romance. We are told that she
was Leonardo's lady-love and broke his
heart. We are told. further, that she was
breaker Of all hearts, a vampire, "a
diver In deep seas" "a being of exquisite
passions" implacable. murderous, infinitely
to be desired. Walter Pater's golden prose
in THE Renaissance" gave her the last
touch of heroic mystery Ever since he
added her to his memorable gallery, she
has been Of the sisterhood OF Venus, the
Lorelei, and Helen OF Troy.
! But what OF the facts7 Alas. they have
been dug from the mold OF the past by
Dr. salomon Renach, an unsentimental
French archaeologist-and In the face of
them the ancient mystery OF Mona Lisa
vanishes! Was she a heart breaker7 Not
at all! Was she Leonardos love? BY no
meansl What was she then? Merely a some
what commonplace young woman Of Flor
ence, who married the middle-aged wild
over Francesca del Giocondo in the year
1886 or threabout, and bore him a daughter
in 1889 Two years later on June /, 1901 that
daughter died and was buried in the church
OF Santa Maria Novella at Florence. Before
the year was ended Leonardo, a friend OF
Francesca, began TO paint Llsas portrait.
The smile in that portrait-the smile that
has enchanted the critics and sent the poets
into eestasies-is not the bitter smile of a
vampire, "a diver in deep seas" "a being
OF exquisite passions" but the sad smile
OF a young mother bereft.
Thus DR.. Reinach has robbed the world 4

its old romance. But its beauty re-
mains and a new charm shines from

glamour Of Gautier's and Pater's Lisa, but
she becomes thereby a nohler and more

GimIet Fiend in Hotels.

from burglars who carry gimlets. Gimlets
form a pretty effectivs means OF pro-
lection. With gimlets screwed through the
door and into the Jamb and through the
sash Of window into the frame 1t would
take burglar OF strength and resource to
effect an entrance.
Also gimlets are useful in constructing
fire escapes. A fire broke out in this
hotel one night about a year ago. The
guest who escaped with. least trouble was
man who travelled with a set of gimlets.
His door had been so securely gimleted
that he could not open 1t when he saw
flames and smelled smoke through the
transom, but one of the windows was
movable and he lust screwed two gimlets
into the sill, fastened rope to them that
he carried for such an emergency and let
himself down to the roof OF the adjoining
building. Gimlots are a source Of comfort
and confidence to the traveller, but to the
proprietor who has to stop up the holes
they are an expense and an evaporation. {"

Unless more honored in the breach than
in the observance the law which went into
effect in New York state September !
regarding the ownership and carrying Of
revolvers and other deadly weapons should
vastly minimize the amount of crime in
that state. The provisions Of the law are
very drastic, and its enforcement literally
will be difficult matter. Among other
things the law provides:
ANY person having in his possession a
pistol, revolver or other firearms of a size
that may be concealed upon the person,
without license, shall be guilty OF mis-
demeanor.
ANY person who shall have or carry
concealed upon his person any pistol, re-
Volver or other firearms, without license,
shall be guilty of felony.
Amy person, not a citizen of the United
States who shall carry firearms or any
dangerous weapon in any public place, at
any time, shall be guilty of a felony.
Amy person who attempts to use against
another, or who carries or possesses any
instrument or weapon Of the kind known
as blackJacks, slungshots, billies, etc, or
who carries or possesses a dagger, dirk
knife, is guilty of felony"
A license to own and carry a pistol may
be obtained on payment of so a year.
