SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Last week the National Association OF
Cotton Manufacturers opened its ninety
third ~semi-annual convention at New
London In welcoming the members K
the home State of Eli Whitney. who
created by the invention of the cotton
gin the greatest agricultural industr.
of the South. Governor Baldwin con
lcluded his address thus:
We welcome you to a manufacturing
State. in which her waters were early
turned into a factory power, though she
has long had TO supplement or replace
them by coal from distant States. W.
welcome You to a State whose pOpula-
ton is increasing facter than that. OF
the average, of the rest of the United
States, and increasing because there is
hardly a town without a factory. Con.
n~ccticut has passed since the days of
the Revolution from an agricultural
State. The United States as Il whole, is
moving in the same direction. The cot
ton factories of the South are becoming
almost as important as those Of the
North. The farming States are growing
more slowly than the manufacturing
cnes or, like Iowa. are growing less.
1t is the law of modern lie that the rich
est returns are from those things into
which human labor enters most fully.
Down here in Texas we entertain nt
fear that the State, because of increased
interest and progress in agriculture. will
reach the deadline like iowa and begin
to 60 back. With a two-crop climate to
underwrite business farming. and soil
possibilities just beginning to be recog.
nized. Texas needs and can sustain moro
cotton mills. more kinds of factories
more cannerieS, more creamerieS. more
foundries. of the sort to convert raw
material into finished product nearer
the zone of production than any one OF
the American States. With cheap power
and cheap fuel i'll abundance Texas. b,
square dealing toward all, could affor'
profitable employment for every invest
ment and development dollar this coun
try could spare. To let Texas grow-tha'
is the thing-Ft. Worth Star Telegram.

SIN YEARS-AND THEN SOME.

The San Antonio Express prints the
following from Austin:
"A negro of the cornfield variety
stepped into an Austin polling place
Tuesday. showed his poll tax receipt and
after receiving the yard or so of ballot,
announced: 'Gcmmen. Use here to vote
de straight out Taft ticket, and | wants
'~sistance, if yer all please, to fix up dis
here ballot"
One Of the judges started in to help
the i~llcrate voter arrange his ballot.
When the amendment providing for max
ing the terms of Office of the Prison Com
missioners six years instead of two was
reached, the judge explained to the dar-
ky:
Are YOU in favor of making the terms
Of the Prison Commissioners six years
instead of two years." asked the judge.

negro, lit seems ter me dat if dey is

HUMANITY AND THE BALANCE OF
POWER.

In the press dispatches yesterday was
an account of a mass meeting in Fan
ueil Nall, in Boston. the object of which
was to start a nationwide movement ex-
pressing sympathy with the Balkan
states in their war against Turkey.
Why not make it world wide? Now is
the opportunity of the civilized world to
remove this one foul blot on the worlds
civilization known as Turkey. The civil
zed nations as nations will do nothing
unless a pressure is brought TO bear up
on at least a few of them which they can
not resist. Neither the English nor the
German government can afford to go
counter to the overwhelming public
sentiment-especially its Christian sen
timent. They care nothing for the Ports
in the abstract, and they are well aware
of the oceans of innocent blood, of the
torture and outrage committed against
Christians in Europe and i'll Asia.
They are not preserving Turkey be-
cause they owe her or respect her, but
partly because she owes money to their
%financiers, and because they wish to pre-
serve something they call the balance
of power. In other words they are will
ing to preserve this ulcer on the body
of modern civilization, because they dare
not trust each other. Therefore. the Turk
has unlimited license o. murder, tor
ture, and all uhnameable outrages. TO
the end of the world. 1t remains to be
seen whether the worlds best people,
its highest humanitarianiSm has no
voice that even the cold-hearted politi
clans will heed.
Here, by way of illustration, is a par
agraph from a report of an English
newspaper correspondent TO his paper:
Nearby in a field were small chains
with small padlocks which the Turks
had used to chain men and wOmen to-
gether in pairs. Finding it a nuisance
to drive them further, they took them in
pairs into the brushwOod and cut their
throats.'
In five hundred years this has been
characteristic of the Turk. No one
wishes To start a war of retaliation. but
now that Turkey is topping on the verge
of utter ruin il. would be a sin against
cf%ifiznrrTn, present and future. to stay
the ha,d would give the final push. Put
1T beyond her power ever again to send
another armed host of murderers and
bandits into a field. 1t is hard to make
intelligent men believe that there is no
humane way to preserve the balance of
power of Europe.

A POLITICAL HOODOO.

W. favor "A single presidential
term, and to that end we urge the
adoption of an amendment TO the
constitution making the president of
the United States ineligible for re-
election and we pledge the candidate
of this convention to this principle"
Democratic Platform.
Whether the principle announced in
this plank is over embodied in the con
stitution, must, in the end, depend upon
the people of the states. 1t remains to
be seen how they will dispose of it when
submitted to them. However that may
be, it will probably be many years before
the ugly ghost of the third-term arises
TO plague us again. Hereafter it will be
regarded. as a political hoodoo. 1t was
too much for Grant, and it was too
much for Roosevelt. We shall not hear
of it again 0 unless, mGeed, the nom
nation for the presidency is once more
forced upon. the Colonel. However, there
is no room to doubt that the democra-
tic congress will submit to the people.
