This is the wall that the wind to-
day, whines to me as you tramp your
way, JauntiIy wearing a new fall hat,
secure in the knowledge that no fresh
brat will shout Bang! Bang!' as you
pass him by Ugh! but the prices of
hats are high!
Woe to the Iuckless neglectful bloke,
who woke this morning to find in
soak his overcoat and his winter
lid, and thought OF the words the poet
said:
Cool winds Of late September
Sweep Ger me like a shock.
NJ felt hat, / remember,
And my overcoats in hocki
Lots of things make me sad today.
The summary summer has passed
away: the open trolley's too cool for
use, and the leaves on the trees are
coming loose! The ice mans bills
may have passed away. but the coal
mans bills start up today. and So,
September the 18th drear, is the sad
dest day of the long. long, year.
But the saddest thing that I feel to-
day is the slaughter Of straws along
the way, for It's open season on hay
stuff lids, and you can't get away from
the gleesome kids.

Lam i'm on de top!

Explanation On Cotton
By Director Durand

Explanation is made by Census
Director f. Dana Durand. in a circular
just issued, that the apparent differ
ence in the production of cotton dur
ing the year 1910 as shown by the re-
port of the Tariff Board and that Of the
Census Bureau, is but a mistake in
Interpretation. Mr.. Durand says that
the figures were all taken from the
report of the Census Bureau.
1.-THE statement has been made" ex-
plains Mr.. Dura1d. that the Census
Bureau issued report giving the cot
ton production for 1910 as Il, 4S3, 900 bales
and that the Tariff Board gave the
production at 1855, 900. AS a matter of
fact, both of these figures are taken
from the census reports, the first, H.
$4,000 bales, is the net amount of cot
ton produced, including linters. ex-
pressed in equivalent 500 pound bales of
the 1910 crop. The 10,3S6,0O0 bales is the
total number of running bales, count
ing round as half bales and including
linters. for the crop Of 1909.

OWN decision in the whisky case, and
return that whole matter to an un'
handed chief chemist with instructions
to do what is right about whiskyi
More than that is still necessary.
The Remsen board of appeals in
chemistry is clearly, manifestly Illegal
There is no warrant in law for its
creation or continuance.
Will the President demonstrate his
good faith, his substantial devotion to
the law, by doing away with the Rem
sen board, admitting that 1t was all
wrong, and RETURNING TO WILEY
THE QUESTION OF BENZoATE OF
SODA FOR DETERMINATION AC-
CORDING TO THE LETTER, THE
SPIRIT, AND THE INTENT OF THE
LAW?
Will the President direct that all
regulations for branding, preparation,
and composition of food products which
have been made under the illegal and
dishonest organization which has pre-
vailed for five years past, shall be
wiped out, and that the food authori-
ties constituted by THE LAW shall
have full powers restored to them, and
directions to get busy correcting the
mistakes of the pastf
Will he make it possible, in short,
for Wiley to undo the wrongs that Nc
Cabe and Dunlap and their associates
have perpetrated!
For the time being, President Taft
has played a pretty bit of politics. 1t
is the more creditable, because a piece
of good politics by him is So entirely
at any time.
He has given popular decision in
this engrossing case, just as he starts
on his swing around the circle seeking
support for denomination and re-elec-
ton. But he has need to make his de-
cision and his intention a good deal
clearer.
To find that Wiley has stolen moth
ing and connived at stealing nothing,
is long way from restoring the food
law to it's proper function of protect
ing the people.
Does the President mean to give the
substance or only the form of vindi-
cation to Wiley and the food act?
