In the Franco-P russian war, the decisive battle.
Sedan, was won by 125, 900 Germans over "a. 600
French and Louis Napoleon's dynasty was at an
end.
mus lar IN the present European war Germany
has been winning because she could bring to every
engagement a larger force than her adversaries.
AS long as she can manage to do that her eagles
ought to be victorious. But when Russia and hor
allies get their armies in such a state of mobiiza-
ton that they can confront Germany's lines of hat
tie with greater numbers of men and means of vic
tory the triumphs of the Kaiser necessarily are ant
to cease.
Whenever the time comes that Germany is ma
bic IN any decisive battle to get there first with the
most men, at that particular time the fortunes of
war must begin to go against her.
1t has nearly always been thus, and SO will #
continue to be.
And no one seems to be better acquainted with
the fact than either the Kaiser of GERMANY or tho
of Russia.
Might cannot make right, but it goes a long
toward winning decisive battles.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
Grow Wheat.

Editor of the Beacon:
The cotton growing section-.o the
south is confronted with a situation al
most as serious in its economic aspect
as when the embargo was in force dur
ing the civil war. Cotton is now worth
on the market six or seven cents a
pound. This years crop is a large one.
The demand from Europe is greatly cur
tailed, lessened by a half. Moreover,
it will be years before the European
demand becomes normal, either for cot
ton in its raw state or in manufactured
goods. The manufacturers will want
less, and there will be fewer people to
wear and less money to buy cotton gar
ments. The situation is not local nor
transitory; it is general and will o n
tlnue for some years; it is certain and
not speculative; aconditionno a theory.
lnnumerable have been the schemes.
plans and suggestions offered. Valori-
cation, government loans. cooperative
holding, etc. have all been discussed.
In the end it probably will be found
that the simplest solution is the most
practical and the best and the only ac-
tual one and. that is that each cotton
grower work out his own salvation.
One fact, mathematical in its absol-
ute certainty, is that the supply must
b e lessened proportionately to he
lessened demand. If this is disregard
ed, there is no hope for a fair price.
None whatever-none.
1T our acreage in cotton is decreased
the question arises what are we to
plant in its place. 1t is a proven fact
in NoXnbee that corn, oats, hay and
peanuts and food crops generally are
profitable. 1t was also proven many
years ago that wheat grows finely here,
twenty-five to forty bushels an acre
without commercial fertilizer. Whv
should we not grow wheat. enough for
our W use if not for the market.
The same conditions that depressed the
price of cotton have elevated the price
Of wheat, and the high price of wheat
IS likely to continue IS long as the low
price of cotton lemains. Flour is all
'eady up 81. so a barrel-later it NAV
De up $500 a barrel.
Some of u older citizens tell me that
'ur people used to grow wheat which
hey had ground in grist mills using
cloth, and that no finer floor was
yer seen here. The cultivation of
wheat here is neither difficult, complex
Tor expensive. Every cotton acre put
nto wheat will cut both ways; it will
lelp the price of cotton and reduce the
ost of living.

Test Of New Banking Statute is
Nov Before Judge Butler
For Decision.
(By DELL CoBB.)

Denver, Jan. 23-The state bank
commissioner is anxiously awaiting
decision from District Court Judge
Butler in the case recently heard by
him in which it is being sought to
show that the loan shark law passed
by the Nineteenth general assembly
is unconstitutional in that the law
discriminates as between regular
bankers and those who are engaged
in as 'chattel money lenders"
Ever since the law was enacted
the latter class of money lenders
have fought against the operation OF
the act. Many of them, in order to
evade its provisions, have applied
to the state bank commissioner for
authorization to conduct a private
banking business. In some ten or
twelve cases permits of this kind
have been issued, but several of these
lenders have refused to either obey
the new law or to take out private
banking certificates. Thus far only
one of this class has conformed fully
to the requirements of the law. He
is b. F. Durham of Denver.
During the last legislature, while
the bill was up for consideration, the
chattel mortgage lenders raised a

by Representative Mcdonald of Pu-

visions of the law There has been

court decision will be announced dur
ing the present week. There Is
hardly a question but that the case.
which ever way it goes, will be car
ried to the supreme court.
