Progress is Now the watchword

Everybody in this campaign except possibly ex-Speaker Cannon and Sen ators Penrose and Lodge desires to be considered a progressive. Few indeed are willing to admit that they are re- actionaries.
 There are, itis true, many kinds of progressives, but when the trend of public sentiment is almost wholly in one direction it is plain that the spirit of progress is, like the schoolmaster, abroad, and the country will secure progress in government.
 It can be truly said that in this re- markable campaign all parties contain progressives. Even MT. Taft says that he is in the swim---that he is op- posed to stagnation and least of all to reactionary movements. The country does not stand ready to take him at his word, and is plainly look ing for a leader who has a clearer and more definite record of progress behind him.
 Even men of middle age can recall campaigns in which both and all par ties hastened to lay claim to the title conservative. Not so now. All are progressives. All want progress, and many cannot have too much of it. The voting on constitutional amendments in California and Ohio has shown be- yond all doubt that progress is in the air, and all are hastening to get in the procession. The times change and men indeed do change with them. The people, however, are the bottom of the great change.

Cotton Mills in the South

During the cotton year ended Sep tember 1 the southern cotton factories spun and wove 2,S17, ,622 bales of raw cotton, while the northern mills took but 2,665,0 bales. The ascendency of the south in cotton manufacturing will be maintained, for this section is adding year after year about 500,000 spindleh to its equipment, f
 The three great spinning states are Georgia and the two Carolinas, and Alabama is poor fourth, for the last named cannot yet boast million spin dles. The fourth state is, however, nearing the million spindle mark. The building of big new mill at Syla- cauga is full of promise. It shows that cotton mills can be built and profita- bly conducted in Alabama.
 AS a matter of fact no state has more hydro-electrieal energy capable of development, and all modern cotton mills prefer that kind of power to any other. When the Alabama power company has it's plans well adavnced there will be every known advantage in this state for mill building. Cotton is grown in every county of the state and electricity will yet be carried to every county. The number of cotton mills in this state should be doubled in the next ten years, and perhaps the Alabama power company will take steps to see that the number is ac tually increased 100 per cent.
 The south will never attain its true place in the economies of the world until it ceases to export raw cotton. Every pound picked from southern fields should be turned into merchant able products in the south. At present two thirds of each crop is exported in the raw state, and yet no we'll man. aged mill near the cotton fields fails to earn good dividends.

How ever. after great labor and much rag chewing on the part of the economist In the House, the Senate has been in dueed to build only about TOO feet of this railway. with the road bed in the middle of the subway where hereto fore the we'll known electric automo- piles for the convenience of Senators have run.
 The road will be monorail system in effect. The car will hold F United States senators, or 3s Senate pages, or perhaps 40 plain peop1c-that is if they are very plain. It will run this TOO feet astride a single rail below. but wi1l be balanced by broad rail on the roof of the tunnel, from which the power will be gathered by means of hinge arm, 1t being really species of trolly pole. The power. unlike the power of the Senate. will be electricity--that of the Senate being natural gas.
 The House of Representatives will not have this little "joy rider" They must walk. The democrats being in the majority and having spent so much lung power about economy if they were to put themselves in one of these little dinkey railroads to ride TOO feet, their constituents might develop a prejudice about them coming back to Congress, which might grow embarrassing The people are sometimes queer about such things. Champ Clark Is very much against it. Champ inherited an auto mobile which former Speaker Cannon had, but no auto for Champ.

 Representative Sisson of Mississippi raised an awful "holler'' about the ap- propriation of the Senate for their llt- tie railroad. He made it an issue in his district, 1t is said, and he promised the people of Mississippi that his voice should ever be raised to protest over such useless waste of the .peepu's" money. So when Congress reassembles there promises to be nice little scrap and all about the nice little 'private line" for our dear senators"

As to Apathy

Early in the presidential campaign, when all indications pointed to the eiec- lion of Woodrow Wilson, democrats were reminded that there was always danger in over confidence. As cleo tion day approaches it will dc, no harm to repeat the warning but, judging from the outlook today, Wilson and Marshall will receive the largest popu- lar vote ever polled by the democratic party.
 The feeling that victory is assured has made it difficult for the demo- cratic finance committee to raise funds. but then it is hard to see how there can be any apathy when It comes to the matter of voting Roose- velt's followers will keep up their en- thusiasm to the end and will poll large vote. Notwithstanding the split in the republican, party, which re- suited in the organization of Roose- velt's progressives, the dyed-in-the- wool republicans will not stay at home. Thos who boast of loyalty to the repu- 1ican standard will be at the polls to cast their ballot no matter what hap pens and, it is safe to say that the total popular vote will far exceed all previous records.
 No matter how sure the democrats may be of Wilson's election, every democrat should feel it his duty as well as privilege to cast his vote and help swell the total. And every democratic voter should likewise be clad to make a contribution to the campaign fund. Six or seven hun dred thousand dollars must yet De raised in order to meet legitimate campaign expenses. Many generous contributions have been reported but there must be many morei Every democrat will be ready to participate in a jollification meet on the 9th oi November, and every man who has contributed a dollar or more to help on the good cause will be in all the better form for the general rejoicing.
