in addition to the special sewer tax,
which the company paid, amounting

theorists, who preach but do not act: school teachers, who understand Latin and Greek much better than Ameri- can commercial law; free traders, who have made their pile under the pro- tective tariff and are now eager to make every dollar of 1t buy two dol lars worth of farm products, and at least two if not more dollars worth of labor.
 In looking back over the great prog ress of our land under the protective tariff laws. one should not lose sight of the fact that free trade is a child of idle southern slave holders. Free trade was born in the brain of the men who owned thousands of acres of sum- kissed land and hundreds of sunburn- ed slaves. Free trade was always ad- vocated not only here but in other lands by either the land and slave owners, or landlord class.
 Free trade is all right for the veal thy. Free trade means low wages, if any, at all. for the skilled American mechanic who today gets better pay here than anywhere else on earth.

rHE COLON ourLooK.

Bumper crops in one section of the country do not necessarily mean rec ord breaking crops of all kinds. In this connection the cotton crop in the south is being given much attention, and as an aid to its development the holding off of the frosts should be of great advantage. Whether cotton is still king or not. 1t is an important commodity, and its price is regulated by the law of supply and demand Whether the amount raised is suffi- cient to meet the normal requirements determines to alarge extent the price It is figured that between fourteen and fifteen million bales will be required to meet the needs, and it will be getting a big harvest if the lower figure is reached.
 In figuring 1t out in advance as to the amount liable to be received. the Wall Street Journal says 1t Twill de- pend in large measure upon the ability of the four important states of Ala bamA Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina to approximate their performance of 1911 when they togeth- CT contributed 7,206,6ss bales as their share of the mammoth crop, although their average for the five years be- tween 1905 and 1909 was 4,640,872 bales, or Al per cent of the crop"
 There are conditions which are un- favorable to large crop. Many acres less than last year were planted. there was a late start and less was done towards securing large production, to say nothing of the floods and sim- liar bad conditions. Everyone would like to see a big crop, but the condi- tions seem to be against 1t.

Why Not for the Towns9

MT. Editor: AS considerable is being said in regard to increasing the scope Of self government in cities. may we of the country not venture to ask why this should not be proffered to the towns also?
 The principle of self government +, matters of local concern being admit ted, it is not easy to see why the towns should not be allowed the same advantages; especially by comparisop with recent as well as past develop ments in various of the cities of the country.
 If the people are to be considered competent to choose a chief magis- trate, and thus to determine the policy of the nation, they certainly must be capable to manage the smaller affairs of their own locality, with which they are more familiar, as well as more inn mediately concerned; not less in the rural than in the city divisions.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

Those who have been making a study of prison reform and advocating various honor plans for helping the prisoners, are given somewhat of a setback by the uprising which occurred at the Wyoming penitentiary, where the men took matters entirely in their own hands and concluded that prison was no place for them. It was the second which occurred within a short time, the first being the lynching of 8 prisoner, charged with murder. who had been placed in a cell for safe keep ing. This was allowed to pass with out much attention being paid to it the feeling being that they had sim ply hastened justice. Encouraged by such Iaxness of prison methods, it was but natural that they should turn con- ditions to their own good. and they did when they again broke loose and secured their liberty at the sacrifice of lives of prison officials and citizens is well.
 It was only recently that a governor ot a western state advocated putting prisoners on their honor. This policy Is one which might apply to certain prisoners, but 1t is evident that the rank aand file of the penitentiary oc. oupants are not to be so trusted. I. they could be they would not be there Conditions could not have been sever, in the Wyoming institution. else tn, first, to say nothing of the second uprising would never have occurred Gratitude is often expressed in strangi ways

MoNrENEeRo,s WAR.

From the early reports the Monte negrins are proving sturdy and crafty fighters in their war against the mighty Turkish army. For small nation they are showing much eager- ness for fight. but in their forward ness they well realize that they have the good wishes of not only the other Balkan states, but of a number of the powers. In the event of reverses it is known that these big brothers will not allow Turkey to crush her, or, in other words, it will not be fight to the finish. Therefore, she Is going bravely and determinedly ahead to make Turkey realize that the time Is 1t has been a kingdom but two years, is anxious to spread out and take Albania under her wing. The other Balkan states are likewise anxious to extend their borders. Turkey in the meantime while starting out under the rule of .the young Turks with prom ises of marked reforms, has failed to keep them.
 There were hopes that Turkey had realized her errors sufficiently to cor rect them, but none knows better than the Balkan states that such has not been the case. The Montenegrins are making excellent progress in their campaign and proving hard fighters even against the skilled and well trained fighting forces of the Ottoman empire. King Nicholas is heart and soul in the conflict, leading his forces and represents a people who are quick to respond to the call of the oppressed such as has gone out from country men in Turkey. Relief to the op- pressed and the gradual breaking UT of the Turkish empire In Europe is threatened if the conflict continues fol long.

THE HISTORICAL NOVEL.

The only great novel is the novel that is drawn from the authors own experience.
 After all, the only thing supremely interesting is autobiography; not diary. necessarily, but an authors own personality whether exposed in a dra- ma or story.

We do not hate the one who tempts us to do wrong. we often love him; we hate the one who tries to make us do better.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
HER BUSINESS VENTURE

Oh, that's a minor matter but since you ask, I'm blacklisted by the old clothes men of this city. l suppose if I were starving to death l couldn't give away brand new party dress or set of sables to themi My knowledge of human nature, however, has been enlarged.

 They demanded minute descriptions of what I had before they would con- sent to visit me. The man who ap- peared first was suave, smiling, dress ed to kill in cheeks and with several large diamonds of rood quality dis tributed over his person.
 He looked over my goods, he made jokes about the weather, he said the view from the windows was fine and I actually hesitated about bringing up anything so vulgar as the question of mere money.
 How much do you want? he asked at last. A slight veil had fallen over his melting eyes by this time. "'As much as can get I told him heartlessly and promptly. And I added, you might as well know that there's another man coming out to look at the things, and they go to tho highest bidder
