futures showing more strength than

THE consuming demand here, however,
has been only limited, and there IS a

not seem to be worried about supplies

In the country produce markets weak

Then and Now.

In no one thing probably has this
section of ours made more progress
during the past forty or fifty years
than in the spirit Of generosity and
lliberality as between man and man in
the matter of getting along in the
world.
Although the subject is an interest
ing one, it is not our purpose to try 10
go into 1t very fully for the reason
that the only thing pleasant about II
is the fact that we have made progress
and very few Of us would like to make
frank confession as to the old condi-
tions from which we have progressed.
There are many people now living
who can remember a time in this coun-
try when there was a widespread feel
ing among those who were favored by
fortune with advantages in the shape
of education, social prestige and espe-
cially property, seemed to think that
the all important end of life was TO
maintain those advantages, and that
about the only way to do so was to
place hindering obstacles in the way OF
their fellows who were making the race
under heavier handicaps.
For one thing it was a common idea
in this country that the way to get the
best and most efficient service out OF
the laborer, any kind of a laborer, was
TO hold him down to as small an in
come and as few comforts as possible.
For another thing there was wide
spread opposition to the idea of trying
to educate the masses Of the people,
and hundreds Of our so-called best
men believed that education along
such lines was positively dangerous.
In the case of the laborer the idea
seemed to be that if he was especially
we'll fed, clothed and housed, he would
have no more incentive to work. and
as to education there seemed to be a
fear that if the poor and humble should
be taught too much, they might get
on top.
There have been those who looked
upon public education at the expense
of the public as a form Of socialism
that was too exaggerated for tolerance
and the idea of you asking me TO pay
taxes to educate your children was
enough to make some well-to-do men
want to resort to violence.
But happily this old spirit is passing
out In the light of experience it is
developing that the better fed, better
clothed and better housed laborers are
the more efficient they become, and the
more education the average boy or
girl gets, the more apt he or she is to
become a useful member Of society,
and contribute to the wealth, comfort,
happiness and general well being OF
the country generally.

Prouress of the War.

While there is plenty of intelligence
to leave no doubt of the fact that
events have been moving rapidly as
between the two opposing forces in
France since the conclusion of the bat
tie of the Marne last week, there is
very little definite information on which
tn base a fairly accurate statement of
the present situation.
There is no doubt Of the fact that the
Germans got the worst of it in the
Marne battle. They lost thousands of
men, were forced into a retreat which
took on the characteristics of rout
and they left behind them dead and
wounded men and immense quantities
of arms, ammunition and other supplies
of all kinds.
1t was indicated last Tuesday that
the rctreating army had probably ar
ranged for another stand on French
soil, and the news of the past few days
Indicates that this stand is being made
on the banks of the river Aisne, with
battle line extending from Noyon
about 80 miles northeast of Paris, al
most to the Swiss frontier, n distance
of about $50 miles.
The reports have it that fighting has
been going on along this line for the
past three days, with between 100000
and 100000 men engaged, the Allies
attacking and the Germans on the de-
fcnsive. Already the death toll has
been enormous, greater perhaps than

According to our view of 1t the we'll
meaning ladies who are organizing the
wear-more-c cotton movement are pro-
ceeding without much reference to the
economic problem involved. Cotton Is
cheap now, or rather sick now because
there is nobody in the market after II
except the American spinners, and as
they cannot use more than one-third
of the prospective supply in their mills
they figure on basing the price they
will pay on that which they cannot use
rather than on that which they eXpect
TO use. And in like manner, since
the American mills are practically the
only mills in the world that are now
able to run on full time, and they can
not supply one-fifth Of the worlds de-
mand, they will soon be able to fS
prices at what they will. People VINO
would try to buy raw cotton at cents
a pound under present conditions may
be left alone for getting their own price
for manufactured products or which
they now have or soon will have Vir-
tual monopoly.

Yes, of course, the closing OF the cot
ton exchanges has had much to do
with the present generalization OF cot
ton. Whatever anyone thinks or the
necessity Of the New York Cotton EN-
change as the best means OF regulat-
ing cotton prices, everybody with a
grain Of sense admits the influence Oh
that organization over the market
Most people believe in the ability OF
the exchange to manipulate the market
at times. regardless Of the laws OF sup
ply and demand. Prices are often fixed
on a basis Of the preponderating power
of money and nerve, just as the weaker
man is often beaten in poker game.
It is a fact, too, that the exchange was
probably justified in closing when the
war broke out; but we are not prepar-
ed to admit that it's ruling motive was
anything else than the safety or us
own members. The closing came about
through a panic on the part OF both
longs and shorts-the one side being
afraid that it could not pay II 1t lost
and the other side being afraid it could
not collect if it won. The closing OF
the exchange was wise and sensi-
BILE from that standpoint; but why
does the exchange remain closed
There has passed important egislation
looking to the statutory regulation OF
the cotton exchanges, and 1t is well
known that the exchanges do not want
any regulation other than the will OF
their members. 1t is easy TO assume
that there are ulterior purposes in the
present inaction Of the exchanges. Pub
lie clamor from the cotton producers
for resumption Of operations would be
held out as undisputable endorsement
of the necessity, and even the goodness
of these institutions as now operated
would be held up as a club over the
heads Of congressman to let them
continue unrestrained in their robbery
of the farmers.

A False Report That Has Cost Mil.

a False Report That Has Cost Mil
lions.-The statement OF the Progress
i've Farmer that the curtailment IN
cotton consumption Is not going to be
nearly so great as pessimists and
panic-makers have declared, Is aound-
antly supported by DR.. 7. \. Carver,
of the United States department OF ag-
riculture, perhaps the foremost Ameri-
can student of agricultural econo-
mics. Speaking on this point the
other day, he said:
English mills can run without
much curtailment, II any, so far as the
supply Of hands is concerned. Many
of them are women. and, in case or
necessity, more women can work. Be-
sides her total army of 100000 Is not
much greater than her army OF un-
employed. The only question Is as 10
her markets for cotton goods. Ger
many and Austria are the only mar
kets likely to be closed. The rest OF
the world will remain open, and her
carrying trade Is not likely to be so
seriously impaired as to prevent ner
from marketing these light trelgnt.
After the war is over, those countries
which have not been able to get cot
ton will be clamoring for 1t.
We cannot escape the belief that
many bear" spectators and other
people anxious to buy cotton cheap,
have purposely and deliberately fos-
tered the wild talk about the war
making ii necessary to carry over half
of the present crop-The Progressive
