Big and Little Business.
From the Milwaukee ,Jo,,rna

Over and over we hear 1T repeated thai
"Bigness is no crime that "A business
is not necessarily good because it is lit
tie and so on. There is some truth i'm
this and much false logic. Little business
Is not an offender because it has not the
power to be. There is no danger that it
will restrain competition. make preferen-
tial deals, control legislation. 1t is the ca
pacity for these things that makes big
business dangerous and has so often made
1t an offender.
For proof of this. take the changed at
titude on the tariff of some very promi-
nent conservative republicans. John c.
sspooner. for example. once a defender Of
nigh tariff protection, announced a COM
plete change. in his views when he saw
that trusts had built themselves up at
public expense behind the tariff wall.
President Wilson believes in competition
and not In trusts. Others believe In regu-
lated trusts: Which opinion is right and
which will finally prevail is fair subject of
argument. But the simple fact remains
that when YOU give a mar or a business
the power to raise prices you are doing ex-
actly. the same thing as when you put a
gun In his pocket. There is always the
chance that when temptation comes, he
vii! use it. This is the trouble with big
business, and In the nature Of things can
net be u danger in little business.

Reasons For tho Cotton Pool.
From Harna,.,s weel,v

from the Philadelphia Ledger.
The bankers I'm the non-cotton produc-
ing states have subscribed 800, 600, 600 to
the cotton pool because they realize the
Importance of protecting the crop values.
Last year IA. 100, 600 bales were produced
and ~s,2S5,6s7 bales exported to Europe. If
cotton worth 10 cents to 10 cents "A pound
is sold at Z cents the value of the exports
is correspondinsly reduced and our bal
ances must be liquidated by the difference
In gold or some commodity.
Intelligent self-interest led bankers to
consent to accept warehouse receipts for
cotton in large quantities as security for
loans In order that the cotton crop NAV
be protected and its usefulness for settling
balances preserved.
The cotton pool fund is to be employed
TO take cotton from the market and hold
1T until 1t becomes possible to export the
staple at a reasonable price. A loan COM
mittee has charge of the administration
committees in each of the cotton states,
and these sub-corhmittees will appoint To-
cal committees to advise them. The loans
are to be made on the security of cotton
IN warehouses not owned by the owner of
the cotton. Applications for money must
be made before February /. 1915. and the
loans are to run not longer than February
j, 1916, unless special conditions make it
advisable to extend them for six months
longer. They are to bear 6 per cent inter
est, and. in addition, the borrowers must
pay 3 per cent to be used as a guarantee
fund to protect the banks against loss and
to pay the cost of administration.
Now that arrangements nave been made
TO protect the crop it is likely that prices
VIII stlffen: The planters are no longer
compelled to sell at ruinous figures. The
export of the staple is increasing. and this
VIII further tend to harden prices. No
one should be surprised to learn by Feb
ruary that conditions nave so improved
that but a small percentage of the pool
has heen assessed.

Gospel and "stuff."

Henry j. Allen in Wichita Beacon.
An eminent bishop Is quoted as having
more stuff is a poor substitute for saliva
ton. He added. The world will not be

True and not true. More stuff is a
poor substitute for salvation: but it may
be a means to salvation. You can't get
many of the graces into or out of a man
who hasn't enough to eat.
- stuff. as stuff" isn't worth much: but
more of a chance in life. better clothes and
less hopeless drudgery for the wife. bet
ter schooling for the children. less fear of
being pushed over the edge of the abyss,
a sense Of greater justice. then surely 1t is
to be desired.
If the bishop were deprived of three
meals a day and forced to wear rags and
sleep in a slum, could he keep up his OPP
timism and remain a light to righteous
ness?
Possibly; but we ,notice that he isn't
eager to try the experiment.
We don't undertake to say just how the
world is to be saved.
We're not sure we know.
But we'd rather take chances on every
man getting the full vatue of his toll and
q fair chance to earn It than on O gospel

GIRL AND LOVER DYING.
He Had Shot Her After Pretending to
Go On Elopement.

Providence, r. l., Junce 10. What at
first appeared to be suicide pact was
disclosed late yesterday when Antoi-
nette DiCecco, Is, of Douglas ave-, and
CarmilIe Ticceuto "a, were found uncon-
scious in the woods in the rear of
Strausbury street. Each had bullet
wound back of the right ear. Nearby
was 32-calibre revolver of which four
chambers had been exploded, the fifth
shell missing fire.
A letter in Ticceuto's pocket told of
his love for the girl He has wife in
Italy. The couple were taken to the
Rhode Island hospital and neither is ex-
pected to live. They were employed
at the Steere mill in Wanskuck and left
their work yesterday morning together
Late last night Miss DiCecco recovered
and dispelled the suicide
pact theory. She told the police who
were waiting at the hospital that Tic
ceutto and she had planned to elope,
but that after luring her to lonely
spot yesterday he had told her that
he had no money to take her away.
He then drew revolver and shot her.

HARVARD FAVORITE
OVER YALE CREW
But the Odds in Favor of the Crimson
Were veYS Slight Just Be-
fore the Big Race

New London, Conn, June l9.--,Just
before the 18th regatta between the
crews of Harvard and Yale universities
the same uncertainty prevailed that has
marked the night before the annual
aquatic contest on the Thames river for
the past few years. Harvards crews
were favored to win but it was eonced-
ed that the Yale combination composed
of powerful oarsmen contained possibil-
tiles that could not be disregarded.
In fact it is the tried and proven
coaching system of the Crimson navy
as opposed to the Yale experimental meth
DDS that causes the Cambridge crews to
stand as popular choices. For the past
six years Harvard's varsity eights have
decisively defeated the Blue oarsmen and
in some seasons the varsity four and
freshman eights have followed suit,
sweeping the river under the coaching
of Jim Wray. During this period OF
Crimson success, the Yale coaching poll
icy has undergone several changes, none
of which has been productive of victory.
Under the circumstances it is but nat
ural that Harvard's crews should be ia
yorites in the wagering, even though the
Ouua are sllglt.
The varsity four mile race will
be rowed upstream, starting from the
railroad bridge at $50 p. m and finish
ing at Bartlett's cove. After the usual
celebration, the oarsmen will break
training, with the exception Of the Har-
ward second crew, which sails for Lon
don on Saturday, and the shells and
sweeps stored for another year.
Although the Harvard rowing star has
been in the ascent during the past few
years the history of the dual regatta
shows that so far as the varsity races
are concerned the rival universities are
evenly matched. Forty-seven races have
been rowed since the first crews met on
Lake Winnipisogee on August 3, 1852.
day the score stands Harvard "a,
Yale %. The advantage ran in cycles,
however, for after an even break be-
tween 1852 and 1865, Harvard won eight
races ont of nine rowed between 1866
and 1879, The six races between 1880
and 1885 were evenly divided and then
Yale forged to the front, winning l6
races to Harvard's three, between the
years lss6-l907 Beginning in 1908, Hsr-
ward swung to the front and to-day has
six consecutive victories to her credit.
tying the record made by Yale between
the years l000-l905. To Yale also goes
the record OF the fastest time for the
four-mile course, made by the 1883 crew,
which rowed the distance in 90 minutes
10 seconds.

ABOUT 100000 FOR
FARM MORTGAGES
This Amount Available Under the New
Federal Reserve Act Before the
Board Organizes.

Washington, June l9.--Comptroller of
the Currency Williams estimates that
about S500.000,0 600 in national banks
throughout the United States is avail
able for farm mortgage loans under the
provision OF the Federal reserve act,
making il possible for national banking
associations to lend money on improved
farm lands. The farm loan clause Of
the act is now in force and makes it pos
sibe for national banks to make farm
loans before Tho larmal~ organization of
the federal reserve board The estimate
Of Comptroller Williams is based on re-
ports showing the capital stock and sur
plus of national banks TO be SLIT 000,-
900. Twenty-Five per cent of this
amount, or $444, 100000 is available for
farm loans Furthermore the federal re-
serve act provides that national banks
may grant farm loans up TO. 80 Is per
cent of their time deposits. Farm loans
under this act are not to be made for
longer than five years and the amount
OF each loan is not to exceed so per cent

the provisional president should be =
neutral, it is said that, it is nanlfess
that in such contest as has been waged
in Mexico for years, it is not only ialf
but necessary to assume that every IN
telligent man of any prominence is at
heart on one side or the other and the
country might well question the patriot
ism of any Mexican who has been col
orless in such contest, and as the pro-
visfonal president must be to some ex-
tent identified with one party or the 9th
er, it necessarily follows that to meet
the requirements OF the present situa-
tion his sympathies. which really mark
the man, must be with the dominant ele-
ment.
1T is true that the American plan
proposes that majority of this board
shall be constitutionalists, but that Is
because they now represent the senti-
ment of the majority of the people OF
Mexico. That, however, does not mean,
nor should it be construed to mean, that
thereby the American government seeks
as you say to force an election IN favor
of the constitutionalists. So far from
that being true, our experience in this
country with bipartisan boards leads us
to believe that this is the most efficient
method that can be devised to secure n
fair election and true count of the bal
lots"
