Moving the Cotton Crop

The south already has begun to
market its big cotton crop, and Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo short
ly will deposit $25,OOO,O00 or more in
the banks of this section to assist in
the movement
At the recent conference of bank
ers held in Washington it was made
plain to the head Of the treasury de-
partment that, to be of service, the
south's share of the proposed deposit
of $50,000,000 should be made avail
able at once, and Mr. McAdoo is NOV
ing the machinery to comply with the
recommendation of the financiers.
The south will not need the money
long. 1t is the opinion of prominent
bankers that the planters will be
through with the money by the end
of September, and tkat it can be sent
back to the treasury not later than the
middle of November, in plenty of time
To serve other sections of the county
as need arises.
Prime mercantile paper will be ac-
cepted by the government as security
for its deposits in the banks. 1t was
at first intended to require that 10
per cent of the collateral should be
United States bonds, but this has been
waived at the request of the finan-
ciers. The treasury department will
be fully protected by commercial
notes, new departure in government
banking.

The Cry of Sectionalism

The fact that the south is in the
aseendancy in governmental affairs
Ess inevitably led to the complaint
lnat legislation, especially that. in re-
gard to the tariff, is being framed in
favor of this section.
The fact is the south was long dis
eliminated against by national law.
1t would be no more than natural for
advantage to be taken Of an oppor-
tunity to "get even" But this has
not been done. The men who wrote
the tariff bill approached their task
with honest intention and open mind.
They have not sought to favor one
section of the country at the expense
of another.
The best answer that has been
made to this charge of the repub-
licans comes from a New Englander,
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire. In
the Senate Mr.. Hollis took up the plea
of the northeast that the cotton sched-
ules of the Underwood Simmons bill
are unfair and refuted it totally. Mr..
Hollis said:
The cotton manufacturers have taken
the highest protection and pauper em-
ployes. They seek to control the govern-
ment and escape taxation; to control the
police in inferior courts and secure ''mili-
tary aid for the suppression of strikes
They secure special commodity rates FOR
their wares and other preferentials from
the railroads. They oppose the election of
= democrats by coercing their employees. and
they make inordinate profits at present
Tariff rates.
Adult operatives by the thousands work
for 81 a week and under living in
wretched conditions, the death rate in our
New England mill cities being the highest
in the United States.
In recent contest In New England for
United States senator, certain democratic
members of the legislature chaneed to be
employees of certain great textile corpor-
alton. They were waited upon at their
homes and requested not to vote for the
caucus candidate. They were not threat
ened with discharge, but the implication
was very plain.
What sort of claim have men like this
to special privileges at the hands of
democratic Congress.
These are strong statements
strongly made. Mr.. Hollis is thor
oughly familiar with the conditions
he criticises. The allegations he
makes may sound harsh to the ears
of those who have long fattened at
the expense of the public.
But it is time for all to understand
that it is the proposal of the demo-
Gratis to run the government in the
interest of the people as whole
rather than for vested privilege.

Drastic Insurance Laws

The action Of some states of the
union in adopting statutes arbitrarily
controlling fire insurance rates is
gradually leading to condition that
will not be borne patiently In those
states where regulation" has been
established by law, big deficits are
shown, and these must be made up
on profits from the rest of the coun-
try.
1t is estimated that in Texas alone
s3,435,000 has. been lost by the fire
insurance companies in the last five
years. In Kansas the loss has been
half million. Kentucky is practically
in the same category, and Missouri
faces insurance chaos as the result of
enactments by the last legislature.
The fire insurance companies in
Texas have absolutely nothing to say
about the way in which their rates
are made or the maximum amount
collected for thes indemnity they fur
nish the people. The question which
calls for answer is, "Shall the fire IN
surance companies be permitted to
operate in profitable states over long
periods of time and collect money
from the premium payers of those
states for the purpose of distributing
the funds so collected in states un-
profitable because of &atutory con-
ditions ?" Certainly it is jug-handled
proposition.
Fire insurance companies should
not only be permitted reasonable
profit but they should be allowed a
comfortable surplus for times { dis
aster Such conflagrations as those
ef Baltimore and San Francisco in
recent years would have meant prac-
tically the death of those cities nad
not the insurance companies been in
a position TO carry out their obllga

The probability that we set snatches of

dreams. Mark Twain accounted for his

The Army Canteen
delay.

"Give us back the canteen," is the
cry of the army officers, privates and
chaplains. 1t was a mistake to abol-
ish the canteen, in the first place, and
the seriousness of that mistake will
now be acknowledged by all unbiased
critics. Congress allowed itself to be
bullied by few fanatics-pure in
heart no doubt, but incapable of
grasping actual conditionsand it
hesitates to admit officially that it
committed an egregious blunder.
The Rev. John A. Ferry, a chaplain
of the United States army, stationed
at Fort Washington, Md, was the
army delegate to the Catholic Total
Abstinence union convention in Phila-
delphia. I'VE want the canteen

said:

the army than exists now, for the army
on the whole is temperate. Thirty per
cent of the officers and a majority of
the men are teetotalers
My view regarding the canteen is that
it is a lesser of two evils. Previous to
the anti-canteen law the canteen was in
operation in every army post. Only beer
and light wine were served to the soldier,
and only to the extent called for by
sobriety. BY reason of the anti-canteen
law brothels aud questionable drinking

The fact that total abstinence pres

larger than that among the officers is
surprising, but Father Ferry, of
course, knows what he is talking
