What was the meaning of the ex-
uberant enthusiasm displayed at the
Republican state convention in De-
troit this week? Grown men, coming
from their daily routine OF business
details, do not leap to their feet and
shout with vehement uproar unless
they have a reason for their actions.
These delegates from every part of
Michigan were passionately In earnest
about something. They were ardent.
ablaze with desire-for what? When
the name of the president was spoken
they burst into vociferous acclamation.
When they heard the suggestion that
the Republican party continue its ad-
ministration they indorsed 1t by the
most emphatic utterance at their COM
mand. Why did they want another
term for President Taft? What is 1t
in the first term of this president that
aroused these sensible, shrewd men

Mr.. Taft's first term has brought

The Industries of the nation have been
safeguarded from disastrous compe-

STATES'S COTTON
WORTH S62,500,000
FIVE MILLION MORE THAN IN
YEAR 1911.
MILLION 5OO-POUND BALES
Seed Selling for Better Price This Year,
and 1t Is Estimated Will Bring
$l2,OO0,OO0 to Mississippi
Farmers.

Jackson.-Mississippi cotton crop OF
1912, with by-products, will bring the
farmers of the state about $5,OO0,0OO
more than that of last year, according
to Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee
The commissioner estimates that the
1928 crop in this state will be l,O0O,-
600 round or 500-pound bales. Accord
ing to the United States census report
few days ago $4,000 bales already
have been ginned in Mississippi, and 1t
is we'll known fact that ginning this
year is much nearer finished than ever
before at this time of the year.
In 1911 Mississippi raised 100000
bales. At that time cotton sold for an
average price of 10 cents a pound. This
year the average price has been IL Lee
which, with a 1912 crop OF a million
bales, gives the following figures:
Value of cotton crop, Mississippi,
1911, $50, ,15O, 900; in 1919, estimated at
$62, 100000.
The sale of cotton seed this year Is
expected to bring about $12,000,o0o, or
the same as was received for it last
year. While there was more seed last
year, as the crop was larger, the price
Of the by-product in 1912 is far in ad-
vance of what was paid in 1911.
Here are some more interesting fig
ures, giving the total vaule of the crop
with the by-products:
In 1911, value of cotton and seed, $72,-
100000; in 1912, S74 4,5O0,000. Value of
1912 over 1911, 50 100000.
Commissioner Blakeslee called atten-
tion to the fact that as the crop is 203,-
600 bales less this year than in 1911 it
is of course costing less money to make,
bale and market the staple. This, he
believes, Will amount to 50 100000, and
he arrives at an estimated increase in
value of $5,0O0,000 over 1911.

Jackson.-Assstant Attorney General
George H. Ethridge returned from OK
ford, where he went to represent the
railroad commission in the injunction
brought in the United States court by
the Iazoo and Mississippi Valley Rail
road Company, to restrain the enforce
mcnt of II recent order of the commits
sion. That order was passed at the No
vember meeting of the commission, the
effect of which was to put the complain
ant railroad company on the same basis
as other railroad systems, in regard to
the local rate on uncompressed cotton,
under the special tariff of 190S-9. For
reasons deemed good and sufficient at
the time, the commission had excepted
the Valley system from the provisions of
the order. After taking the question
of removing that exemption, in order to
get from under the possible ban of dis
elimination, under advisement, the COM
mission passed the November order, put
