sold, still on their hands, it Is safe to
say they will not let out fifty per
cent of the value of their last years
sales on next years crop.
Many merchants have not collect
ed one dollar where in former years,
at the same time they had collected
ten; and the same is true of banks
that have been furnishing farmers.
The banks and merchants cannot put
out more than two-thirds of their
normal advances, no matter what
their sympathy with the farmer or
their desire to help him.
The result of these conditions will
be that cotton production will be cut
in the United States more than fifty
per cent next year, and once the far
mers have adjusted themselves to
changed methods of farming, pro-
duction will continue to fall behind
demand. The mills are eating the
goose now, but they will realize their
mistake when the egg famine sets in.

a machine. If a soldier enlists un'
der oath with the avowed purpose of
keeping the peace of the world, he
would be less than a mar if he for
got his allegiance when he was put
to a test of honor.
The peace council should be quar-
tered in Europe on its own territory
and the army should be maintained
by assessments on all the leading ma
tons, proportional to their popula-
tons.
international peace organizations
that promised so much a year ago
have only demonstrated their fulfil
ity. Visionary as the suggested plan
may seem, it would save millions of
dollars to the nations in compact, by
annually reducing their army and
navy expenses, to say nothing of pre-
venting war which multiplies those
expenses an hundred fold. That any
such compact will be made at the
close of this war or even within the
next half century is more than doubt
full, but there was never a time when
nations can realize more fully, that
nations like individuals must be gov
erned by a restraining law. :,

THE o

Cotton spectators and cotton mills
are reaping a harvest at the expense
of the cotton farmer. The farmer is
financially dependent, and advan-
tage is taken of this dependence to
force his cotton out of his hands at
over three cents per pound less than
its spinning value, even under pres
ent war conditions. War conditions
have been seized upon as a pretext
and the price of cotton has been
hammered down to a ruinous level.
Now mark the result. In a few
days the National government will
publish a statement showing the
amount of grain actually planted in
the Southern States. This is going
to show that at least forty per cent OF
the land heretofore planted to cotton
is already planted to grain. Ten per
cent more will be reserved for corn.
Fertilizer factories are not making
any high grade guano at all, and
with millions of dollars of indebted
ness for this years supplies of guano

WORLD PEACE.

One outcome of the fearful war
now raging in Europe will be a re-
duction of standing armies and the
quenching of the fires of militaryism.
Some months ago this paper sug-
gested an international council back
ed by an army of something like two
million men, to whom should be re-
ferred all international quarrels. The
decisions of this council should be
binding on the nations, and its orders
should be enforced even if at the
point of the bayonet.
When the smoke of battle has
cleared away from Europe and the
nations involved have realized their
moral weakness when tempted by
ambition or goaded by jealousy they
will consent to the formation of some
impartial coercing force. The cause
of humanity demands it. The blood
of the millions who have been sac
rifced in this cruel and useless war
will appeal to the civilized world for
means to prevent a recurrence of
such wholesale butchery.
Here then is the problem for the
disciples of peace, and in solving it,
the means for restraining the nation
al passion had as well be provided.
Doubtless this suggestion will be
thought to be visionary. 1t viii! be
objected that a composite army made
up of soldiers from all the leading
nations could never become homoge-
neous, and the soldiers of any nation
who were a part of the army of the
peace council would never join hands
against the mother country.
In the first place the overwhelm-
ing numbers of other nations repre-
sented in the army of the peace coun-
ell would overawe so small a minor
ity; and in the second place, the
trained soldier becomes more or less

ROCKEFELLER MISUNDER-
STOOD.

Whatever may have been the short
cuts and questionable methods used
by Mr.. Rockefeller in amassing his
stupendous fortune, the 5 of his
"Foundation Fund" for feeding the
starving Belgians has wiped out all
resentment toward him in the hearts
of the more humane of his fellow
countrymen.- Only last week a ship
load of provisions was sent to the
Belgians, valued at about 100000
paid for entirely out of the "Founda-
ton Fund.-"
If one reads of the distressing con-
ditions in stricken Belgians; how
the aged are dieing from exposure on
the frozen ground; how infants are
starving because their mothers
breasts have failed and other nour-
ishment cannot be had for them
how famine lis wasting whole prov
inces of women, children and the
helplessly old; he must realize that
Mr.. Rockefeller is something more
than a mere money grabber to have
conceived and built up a relief fund
such as is being used for the relief OF
suffering.
The public will even justify a few
short cuts in finance where the pro-
ceeds are used so beautifully for the
aid of suffering humanity.
