A correspondent writes from
Bar Harbor to a New York news
paper that in all forms of immor-
atty the United States is the
acknowledged superior of any of
the effete civilizations of Europe
The New York World makes a
happy reply to the correspondent,
and while it trims the writer in
sound fashion, there are other
effective arguments which may
be added to what the World says.
In England, Wales and Scotland
statistics show that there are
about $1,000 illegitimate births
every year, and that this rate is
several times greater than that OF
the United States. In Scotland
the illegitimate birth rate is about
ten times higher than it is in this
country.
The suicide rate of England and
Wales doubles that of the United
States, and in Australia, an un-
crowded British colony. it is triple
that of the United States. AS for
divorce, a parliamentary report
states that more than 1OO,OOC
couples in Great Britain are living
permanently apart. The consump-
ton of liquor per head in Great
Britain doubles that of the United
States.
The Bar Hurbor man has sizeo
up the conditions in this country
by what he saw at Bar Harbol
during the summer resort season
but it wont near do to Judge the
whole United States by what {
person may observe at one of oul
fashionable eastern summer re.
sorts.
Then, again, the writer of the
Bar Harbor letter may be a British
subject who is disappointed in his
chase of the millions of an Ameri.
can heiress, and he wrote through
spite.
Whoever he may be, and what
ever may have been his motive, i
is certain that he didn't adhere t.
facts in his statements.

AN ACT OF BRlGANOAGE

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
in discussing the policy of Italy in
declaring war against Turkey
under the above caption says:
Italys frecipitancy in declaring
waraeainst Turkey on the instant
Of the expirati0rnf The time limit
fixed ii the ultimatum to the
Porte, and in spite Of the concilia-
tory tone of the Turkish reply
makes unnecessary any further
pretense as to the motive for the
negotiations to secure safety oil
Italian interests in Tripoli.
There will be no two opinions
as to whether Tripoli will be
better off under It tlian rule than
under the nominal sovereignty OF
the Ottoman Sultan. The Italians
will at least bring on to the Arabs
the blessings of European civiza-
ton, establish peace and order
among the tribesmen, open the
country to commercial intercourse
and pave the way for its increased
prosperity. The continuance OF
Turkish domination, on the other
hand, would mean the exact op-
posite OF these things, and there
can be no doubt that the greater
good for the greater number will
be served by the action which
Italy has taken.
But viewed as an act of nation
al comfy, the declaration of war
against Turkey and the seizure Of
Tripoli.is none the less an act of
brigandage, the taking from the
weak of a possession that was
coveted by the strong"

It is evident the cotton spinners
of long staple cotton have organ
lied to lower the premium on
staple cotton. A couple of weeks
ago cotton ranging from | 3-16 tc
38 was eagerly sought in the
market for 81 10 % cents. Short
cotton has only declined a cent a
pound, yet the buyers are now
offering only Is to Is cents for
the same sort of cotton they paid
81 and % cents.
This is 5000 a bale decline!
Something is wrong.
The staple cotton crop will GER
tainly prove many thousands OF
bales less than last year. The boil
weevils are over all of this rich
Y~azoo-Mississippi country, and
next year will see not much staple
cotton in the Delta.
Hence it looks to us that the
Delts planters and farmers should
organize at once and agree upon
a price to sell this crop for. II
can be done easily. The banks
will lend the farmers money or
bales of cotton just like they lend
to cotton buyers. The banks car
and will carry this cotton unit
next spring.
But that will not be necessary
If some prominent planter OF
planters will call a meeting of the
staple cotton raisers at the cour'
house the house will be full and
cooperative plan will be agreed
upon and the spinners will take
the staple cotton at 20 cents ane
better.
