Following are the official 1912 club records of bases on balls and strike outs, graded according to the great est number of bases on balls and the least number of strille-outs, re- spectively.

Raising Cotton.

Ever since the United States block.
AIDED the southern ports early In the
Civil war European countries have
been trying to raise cotton In their
Asiatic and African possessions. In
half century they have not succeed
ed In doing enough to make any par
hcular Impression upon the worlds
cotton markets. The area OF the Nile
valley Is very limited. Cotton of a
short staple Ii raised in India, but
only In moderate amount, and the
culture shows little tendency to In
crease. Russia has long produced In
her Asiatic possessions a moderate
amount OF cotton, and the little dis
pute over passports for American Jews
increased the desire Of Russia to re-
duce it's imports from this country.
to which end the minister of agricul-
ture has just visited central Asia, but
he has returned convinced that little
can be done to increase cotton culture.

SENATOR MASSEY LnD
Tile COMMERCE COURT

-t,l q =. ! atr
Driven to desperation, the hand
full Of republican politicians who.
have been handling Senator
Massey's fight in this state. have
resorted to misrepresentation.
The charge has been made by
democratic orators that Senator
Massey voted to sustain the iniqui-
tous commerce court on August
FL, 1912, on the final show down,
when the president had returned
the appropriation bill with his veto
because it still contains in section
9 provision for the repeal of the
act establishing the commerce
court" That alone was the objec-
tion snfl theIpresident to the passage
of the bill, so the matter was put up
to Senator Massey directly There
is no way he can dodge this vote.
The records are clear that he voted
to sustain the presidents veto when
this alone was the question at
issue. This was done on August
FL, 1912, and it was the vote that
retained the commerce court. Ii
was the last vote. on that measure,
too.
Mark well the date, August 81,
for the misrepresentation of the
republicans would have you believe
that the vote was taken on August
18th, when other riders were at
tached to the bill. The vote of
August l9tn was not the decisive
vote. The decisive vote came on
August, 81, and it meant either the
abolition Of the commerce court or
it retention. That alone was the
question involved. And Senator
Massey voted to retain the court,
to sustain the presidents veto, and
he lined up with the stand-paters
in order to vote agai nsr the
interests of his own state. He
chose the company of Guggen-
heinm, SmOot and Root rather than
line up With suck men as Bristow,
LaFollette, Poindexter and other
who are always against corporation
rule. Massey voted decisively
against the people Of his own state.
To deny the record contained in
the Congressional Record of
August 2lst is to utter deliberate
and knowing falsehood.

DECLINE TO TAKE
Up CHARITIES

Evidently unwilling to assume the
responsibility of regulating the city's
charities the trustees of the Chamber
of Commerce, at their monthly meet
ing yesterday afternoon, tabled a re-.
port of a special committee ON the
subject
The committee, which was com.
posed Of w. r. Castle w. a. Bowen
and f. c.. Atherton, recommended the
appointment of a permanent commit
tee of five, three members of which
should be members of the chamber
and the other two experts in handling
charities. One member should be a
salaried secretary who should be re-.
quired to gather data concerning all
the various charitable institutions Op-
Grating in the community, with
view to systematizing the eXpendi-
lures for these purposes.
1t was pointed out that at the pres
ent time there is much duplication Of
effort, and business men are being
constantly appealed to to subscribe to
objects concerning which they know
absolutely nothing. An organized COM
mittee could be in position to pass
uDon every appeal for aid and with
out the committees endorsement the
business men could feel safe in turn
ing down any appeals for assistance.
The report estimated that the ex-
pense of the first years work would
not exceed $500 per month, one-half
of which amount was already in sight.
