NEW YORK, April 26. 90 After a
strenuous day Of straightforward
shoulder attacks upon Col. Roosevelt
in the Bay state President Taft de-
livered a dinnerless after-dinner
speech last night to more than 500
newspaper publishers, editorial and
business workers of the Associated
Press and the American Newspaper
Publishers Association at the an
mal dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Never before had the President
SPOKEN quite so directly to the men of
the press, for he confded his speech
directly into the private ear Of each
and every one of them, even though
he, physically, was not present at the
dinner at all. Physically President
Taft was in Boston. Thanks to the
East performances of Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell, inventor of the tele-
phone, who was at the guest table last
night, the President was able to make
use Of the long-distance telephone, two
wires of which had been set up spe-
cially between the Waldorf and the
Arena in Boston-one to carry the
Presidents voice to a telephone re-
ceiver at the elbow Of each of the
500 diners, and another, equipped with

special train of sleepers and dining

over 10000 miles, to visit sixty-three
cities and to take about ninety days

this great distance is a striking ex
ample of the wonderful triumphs over
time and space which have been
achieved by human ingenuity and skill
within the past quarter of century.
During that time the development
and progress in all things material
have been infinitely greater than these
which have been attained in any cor
responding period of recorded human
history. 1t must lie admitted also that
the average standard of living among
the great mass of the people he's
greatly advanced during the same pc.
riod, and that the reasonable COM
forts of life are enjoyed more wide
ly than ever before.

BETTER YIELDS TO THE
ACRE, BUT NOT A BIGGER
TOTAL YIELD.

There are few individuals so
dull of understanding, or so per-
verse, that they cannot see hat
an effort to produce better yield
per acre is in no sense similar to
the production of more cotton
than the world thinks it needs.
We should produce more cotton
per acre. 1t seems impossible
that any one would deny this, but
it is also certainly true that we
do not need more cotton In the
aggregate. The solu, ion is, only
plant those lands to cotton thai
will bring profitable yield.
There is only one possible way
Of making cotton production pay,
and that is to make large yield
per acre. The acreage will, in
the future, as in ahe past, be chief
ly controlled by the price it
brings. Any one can convince
himself Of dhis fact il he will but
study the recorded facts. When
the price of cotton has gone too
low a reduction of acreage has
invariably followed. On the olh-
er hand, the price must not go too
high or the consumption will also
be reduced. 1t has thus far
proved impracticable to control
either the acreage or the price to
any large extent.
1t, therefore, follows as plain
ly and surely as the night follows
the day that cotton growing as q
general proposition can ouly be
made profitable by increasing the
yield per acre, and this is largely,
almost entirely, within the con-
troll of the individual farmer
