THE PRICE OF COTTON.

Inc tohiSichNS VI SONcAiuiS -
which was held in New Orleans
to consider ways and means of help
ing the farmers to boost the price OF
cotton, ended in talk as all
such conferences generally end.
There is really very little that ths
governors can do, except to attempt
to create public sentiment against
the suicidal policy of southern farm
ers of rushing their cotton on the
market as soon as ii is. ginned, glut-
ting the market and forcing the price
down TO point where spectators
can take advantage OF the farmers
and the business interests of the
south.
There are several ways of stopping
this suicidal policy of the cotton
farmers. The hest way would be
for the farmers TO make cotton side
crop and raise enough OF other crops
to make them able to hold their cot
ton for a time after it is ginned-
Another way would. be for the farm
ers to organize and cooperate with
each other in holding their crop. II
the farmers were efficiently organ
lied, there would be little trouble in
securing sufficient capital TO aid them
in holding their crops. The childish
prejudice OF the farmers against or
ganization loses for them hundreds
of thousands OF dollars every year
that goes into the hands OF specula-
tors who take advantage OF the help
lessness OF the farmers acting as in
Idiyiduals. Another remedy that has
been proposed Is state aid in the
holding OF cotton. Such plan is
almost entirely Impractical unless
the cotton farmers were organized,
and even then. IL would be hazard
Gus venture for the states that would
likely be productive OF dangerous
consequences. AS long as the farm
ers persist in cutting their own
ihroats. financially speaking. there
can be very little hope for them.
To blame the present low price Of
cotton on the spectators is foolish.
The price of cotton. like the price OF
all other commodities. is controlled
BY the memorable Law OF supply and
demand. All the Spectators in the
world combined could no more con
troll the workings Of this Law. except
within very narrow limits. than thes
can control the Law OF grayitatIoH.
Spectators can anticipate the results
OF the workings Of this law. The
only reason that the price OF cotton
i SLOW at this time is because thu
supply that is being thrown on the
market exceeds the demand. Ths
prospect OF a crop that will more
than supply the demand Of the worlf
has also operated to reduce the prize
someuhat. Were this supply he'll
back and placed on the market onli
as the demand iustifes. the price
you'd be from two TO Eve cent
hlrher than at present. This add

Miss Jane Addams will deliver an ad- dress on settlement work Saturday aft ernoon at o'clock, the place to be announced later Members of all philan- thropic associations. public school teach CTS, ministers, and others interested in settlement work are cordially invited to be present at the lecture.
 Miss Addams was asked by members of the Free Kindergarten association to emphasize the significance of settlement work in her address during the National Child Labor conference held last week. Not being able to do this. and deciding to remain in the district during the week, Miss Addam. graciously offered her services to the association for lec- ture on Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
 It has been the plan of the Kindergar- ten association to emphasize settlement work as phase of public school life as soon as the Kindergarten was incor- porated in the public schools. The past year has seen such progress in the de- velopment that the association sees It's way to greatly aid the settlement work already begun in the Paul Hayne and Avondale schools. in the former by Miss Heu and the latter by Miss Pope.

TAFT PLAYS GOLF
 IN DR|zz[|NG RAIN

Augusta, Ga., March 14-It was cold and damp on the links of the Country club today, but President Taft was out bright and early with his golf clubs for a round of the IS holes through a drizzling rain.
 No comment was obtainable here today on the Mexican situation Tn general or the assurance by the state department to Ambassador De La Barra regarding the movement of American warships along the Mexican coast. It was stated the President was leaving the handling of the situation to the officials of the state de- partment.
 President Taft and John D. Rockefeller met today for the first time since the Presidents arrival, despite the fact that they have been fellow guests at the same hotel since Saturday morning last.
 The meeting occurred on the golf links near the eighth hole. MT. Rockefeller and his party passed the President, who was playing with Ansly Wilcox of Buff falo, N. Y., about 200 feet away. Mir. Rockefeller quickly recognized MT, Taft and called a greeting to him.
 Good morning, MT. President" he called.
 The President was about to drive and looked up surprised. Why, good morning, Mr. Rockefeller" he answered.
 The President and the oil magnate waved their hands at each other and the latter passed on.
 President Taft has approved Secretary Dickinson's plan for appointment to his trip to the isthmus of Panama.
 It is stated this has nothing to do with the mobilization of the army along the Mexican border. The secretary of war proposes to take up and settle a differ ence of opinion between the officials of the Panama railroad and the steamships oper- ating between New York and Colon as to freight rates.
