Cotton Acreage This Season

The New York Journal of Commerce
eompiles reports from 1907 speciai
correspondents concerning the grow
ing crop. 1t is generally agreed that
cold drv spring has made the crop as
,,ho1o about two weeks late. Not
little of the crop has been replanted
and at this time stands are generally
GOOD. and the crop is making good
progress.
The acreage is put by the journal
of Commerce at 4.8 per cent over last
wear. This means that the acreage
nlanted is 36,435, 900 acres. The con-
dition of the crop is just about up to
tho 1O-vear average, and this holds
true in Alabama as well as IN the
other states. AS rule the crop west
of the river is excelling the crop on
this side of it. The greatest gains In
acreage are in Mississippi and in the
states west of the river.
The crop has got a fair start and
the prospects for a good crop are
reasonably good. Three months OF
weather and insects are, however, to
he encountered, and no one can say
in June what the outturn in Septem-
ber will be.

Tariff Lobbyists at the Capital

Senator Overman's investigating
committee proposes to hear four Sen
ators an hour relate about the lob
byists that have approached them on
tariff subjects. If Senator Penrose,
for example, will tell all he knows he
will unfold very interesting chapter.
The first block of four will consist of
Senator's Ashhurst, Bacon, Bankhead
and Borah. The last-named may have
something to say concerning free wool
that will be interesting, but the other
three are committed to the Under
wood bill as it stands.
The investigation will check the au-
dacity of the tariff lobby and possibly
hasten the day when it will be laid
before the Senate by the finance COM
mittee. An entire summer is not really
needed for the consideration of bill
that was thoroughly considered in the
House, but the methods of the Senate
are tedious and it is generally believed
that the lobbyists and all other OBJ
structionists will keep the bill in the
Senate until about September L.
The hunt for the lobbyists should
be keenly pursued. Let the people
know who they are and what they
represent. We need full lists of them
and the Overman committee should
exhaust every effort towards ascer-
tanning what interests are maintain
ing a lobby in Washington while the
consumers themselves go unrepre-
sented in the third house at least.

Apportionment of Government Funds


BY distributing an additional $1O,-
100000 of federal funds among the
national banks Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo will pick up 100000 a
year in the way of interest to go into
the treasury. AS the banks are will
ing to pay 2 per cent on other time
deposits there seems to be no reason
why the government should not get
that rate on its deposits.
Only seven banks out $50 demurred.
Twenty national banks in New York
city and the largest banks in Boston
and Chicago accepted the plan, asking
in many cases for increased deposits.
The plan bids fair to be acceptable to
the banks as well as profitable to the
government.
The south shares handsomely in the
new allotment. In 13 southern states
$2,902,000 is to be deposited in 159
banks in 1877 cities. Virginia, Georgia,
North Carolina and Tennessee get
good round sums. Alabama has to be
content with $104,00O placed in five
banks in four cities. The apportion-
ment is subject to revision later and
no doubt the distribution among the
states will be made equitable and just.

FRIEDMAN AND HUMAN NATURE

from Harper w eekly.
1t is only natural if people have got
to the point where they prefer TO hear
no more of the Friedman controversy.
Indeed, there is a sort of instinct of
self representation in us that keeps us
from dwelling too long on episodes re-
vealing human nature at its worst. And
this one is of that character.
One can so consider it even if one still
tries, with DIR. Ehrlich and our own
government experts, to suspend final
judgment on the scientific aspect of
the matter until we have exhausted ev-
cry means to determine whether hu-
manity has anything to hope from
Friedmann's alleged discovery. For the
farce tragedy has been complete and Dr.
Friedman has not been the only actor.
While he maneuvered, the sensational
press co-operated. Jealousy and rivalry
in others of his profession helped to
win him sympathy. Now that he has
capitalized his resolutely won self-ad-
philanthropy, and is quite frankly maxi
ing money, the men associated with him
as aids are as openly trying to follow
his lead Government Is laughed at,
science takes a back seat, and misfor-
tune must, as usual, pay to learn
whether the relief held out to it is real
Yes, 1t is an unpleasant spectacle. But
maybe it's best to face it with clear
eyes. Sincere philanthropy must deal
candidly with the obstacles forever pre-
sented by the ugly face of this kind OF

active and persistent and often clever.
In respect of this particular problem of
tuberculosis, sincere philanthropy cam
not shut Its eyes to such truths as that
there are always physicians who work
Tor money alone, that many sanitariums
and other resorts for consumptives are
heartlessly commercial, that whole COM
nunities are really sustained by the
money of consumptives and their fanli-
| lies treat them like pariahs

THE HEALING TREE OF CAIRO

From the June Wide World Magazine.
The tourist who is ferried over the Nile
from Old Cairo to the Island of Rhoda is
SHOWN the Nilometer, which dates from
Roman times, and the old gardens near IT
and is then hurried back to resume the
usual route of the guides. BY so doing
however, he misses one of the most curl
Gus sights in all Cairo-the huge tree
known to the natives as the Mandura. II
is so called from a saint, who is supposed
to work miracles and effect cures upon
those who visit this tree and perform cer-
tain traditional rites. The patient must
offer to the saint the cloth which envel-
oped the affected limb, pluck Off twj
leaves from the tree. and tie them on the
diseased part with another cloth, leaving
the first behind. The natives have great
faith in the tree, and the visitor will al
ways md one or more present, performing
the rites of supplication. The tree, while
not very high, has a large spread, and,
as it is partly concealed by others near
1T. even the visitor woh has knowledge of
its existence is apt to give up the search
in despair. though he may be within a
short distance of it. The tree at present is
entirely denuded of its leaves except In the
upper branches while the trunk and lower
branches are almost concealed by the
mass of rags that are nailed to it and
there left to rot in wind and weather Pa
tierts may be seen pressing their faces
on these, or rubbing the afflicted parts
against them, as they mutter prayers and
gaze earnestly up among the branches,
where they believe the saints spirit re-
sides. The upper branches are plentifully
decked with little pennons or colored
flags, which give it quite festal appear
ance. Although the tree seems to be on
private grounds and can only be reached
by long walk among some very puz-
zling walls, quite a little space is allotted
for the use of suppliants. To these it is
free, but to the tourist there are frequent
requests for the universal baksheesh of
Egypt.

From the Worlds Work for June.
Opposite the postoffice, on lower Broad
way, New York city, there has Just been
completed a building, 7S0 feet high Which
will provide working quarters for 1O,c01
people. If all the men and women en-
poyed in this one "skyscraper'' should at
tempt to go uptown by the subway at the
end of the day it would take the 10 car
express trains. running at the intervals
now established, 10 minutes to haul them
away. Though this happens to be the
highest structure in the city, there are
others nearly as large; it is one of dozens
that accommodate four or five thousand
people each and one of hundreds that ac-
conmodate more than thousand people
each. The number of these great build
ings is steadily growing.

Busiuess Activity

There is a great deal of business
activity in Birmingham" said mem
ber of the Chamber of Commerce.
Last year we had new high records
in the industrial field and the pay
rolls are larger today, l am told, than
they were even year ago. The Steel
corporations action in completing the
wire mill at Fairfield has given marked
impetus to the local situation. The wire
mill now presents a very busy scene.
Hundreds of men are at work there
and carloads of machinery are arriv-
ing to be installed. The mill will be
producing wire before the end of the
year and if we have the big crops this
summer that are predicted 1918 will
be a banner year in Birmingham's his
tory. If the crops are only moderate
we will have normal business but when
the crops of the country are record
breakers prosperity abounds from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and, of course,
Birmingham easily gets its share"

THE FALL OF RECTOR's

From the New York Herald
Tidings of the bankruptcy proceedings
against the house of call known as Rec
tor's' swept through Broadway yesterday
and started countless tongues to wagging
In the roaring Forties."
During the years that have elapsed since
Charles Rector came here from Chicago
his restaurant has filled a place distinc-
| lively its own in the gay life of the town.
1t has been to the theatre and boiled lob
ster zone what Delmonico's, Sherry's and
the Plaza are to Fifth avenue. AS

huge hats it was without an equal on
Broadway. At the close of THE Easiest

make a hit"
The philosophers who assemble daily in
the vicinity of Forty-second street to dis
cuss the important happenings in the city
brooded mournfully over the disaster yes
terday afternon while endeavoring to de-
termine it's cause. The consensus was that
it lay inNhe building itself. which was SO
constructed that diners were Obliged to
climb a short fight of steps and were in
visible to the public while dining. The

unable TO tell why so few people were
drowned.
Take the city of Dayton, for examine
When the flood was at its height there
were 5000 people in homes that were
under water to the second story. They
could be seen upon house tops by those
standing at the edge of the water. Houses
were hoatlng off their foundations Wreck
age was plling up in the streets. From
the housetops outside of the flooded area
persons with field glasses could see thou
sands of people struggling to save them
selves, with the chances against them.
| The current was too strong for boats. All
that one could do was to stand there and
wonder how many of the 5000 people
would be saved

Jumping from windows. During the aft
erncon the roofs of the buildings where
the fires seemed to be raging were COW

the fire. 1t was natural to suppose that
many would be burned up. In fact. it
| SSeeu dt one tlme that the whole city
would be destroyed by the flames. Was
1t any wonder that newspaper men, skilled
In figuring upon the loss of life, should as-
innate that two or three or even ten thou

such circumstances?
| And yet when the waters receded it was
found that the loss of life in Dayton was
less than 2oo-probahly not over $50. There
had been 1000 narrow escapes from
death.
| These escapes had been effected In tbe
most unusual ways 1t grows tiresome to
