Eat a Bale or Cotton!

Macon, Georgia, is. II not the ''hcart"
OF the cotton growing section " the
South, at least close enough to the or.
ganlc plexus OF It's vital system to thun.
der with authority against the Buy

second in the list Of cotton growing
states and leads In the production of
the sea island staple The Tclcoraph
OF that old Georgia town began some
fifteen years ago an attack on the agrl-
cultural heresy now in harvest.

IN order TO have "money talk" on their
side the farslghtel. foreslghted pro-
prietors OF that newspaper offered prizes
for the best showing in wheat. The
results are said TO have been convnc-
ingly favorable but the books Of refer
ence still keep In type the old formula,
Oats and wheat are also grown" In
1911 Georgia bought S17o .OOO. 900 worth
of feedstuffs and sold her cotton crop
for Sl40,OOO.OO0. The mill men fare
better than the farmers. II is not so
much due TO the virtue of the one as 10
the foolishness OF the other.

to grow cotton because tho supply man
will not lend them money except on a

bers OF the Federal reserve system
would seem to Insure Presidential
veto for the Smith measure If 1t passes
both branches Of Congress The real
reason for opposition to the Smith
amendment was, however, tcrsely and
elnphatlcally stated by Secretary
McADoo at the conference held with
cotton interests at Washington last
month. The very proposition which
Senator SMITH has drafted in the
form Of an amendment was discussed
at this conference, and in objecting
vigorously to 1t the Secretary said:
There is enough currency authorized
by law to-day TO wreck the United States
Of America. and the danger in this situa-
ton Is that by Ill considered views and
III considered actin we may put out so
much infationary paper money that IL
will ruin the country"
In this declaration Secretary McApoo
was entirely right. The facilities al
ready provided for emitting paper
money are so ample that they call for
the exercise OF the greatest care In
using them. The Smith amendment
contcnlplates an addition to these
facilities which will make II extremely
difficult to safeguard them.
There is encouragement in the oppo-
sltlon vigorously expressed by the Fed
eral Reserve Board to Senator SMITH 5
wildcat currency scheme and in the at
titudc toward it indicated by the Bank
ing and Currency Committee of the
House OF Representatives. a good deal
of valuable instruction was absorbed at
Washington last year In the course Of
framing and passing the Federal re-
serve act, aud 1t Is not as easy nova
days as It would have been once TO get
an unsound currency project through
the national legislature.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrS--Sir: Your
editorial article on The Regeneration OF
England" reminds me of fellow bragg
ging about his honesty because he paid
his debts During the first week of the
war 100000 Germans who were exempt
from military service volunteered TO fight
for their country and considered it "A
mere matter Of course as long as they
were able to carry "A gun and march
along, Food for powder. food for pow
der they'll I'LL n pit as well as better"
If England goes on "regenerat!ng" il
may some day be "regencratcd" enough
to tackle single handed nation of It's
own size. During the last hundred years
England has been lighting against France
in alliance with Russia, Austria and Ger
many, against Russia In alliance with
France, Turkey and Italy. and Is now
lighting against Germany in alliance with
France. Russia and Japan. If the allies
win this war England is going TO form
an alliance against Russia. and II the
United States should endangor tho SUI
premacy of England on the high seas,
England would mstlgate European
alliance against this country.

THE DUTY or UNCLE SAM.
Real Americans and the Requirements
OF Real Neutrality.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. The
letter of John Biyelow which appeared
In THE SUN of September ~. entitled

ment. dare say that II comedies with
the feelings Of all real Americans. 1t
makes clear tho great fact that the most
sensible attitude of tho United States is
fair and unflnching neutrality.

article entitled "our Happy Neutrality"
In which Governor Glynn is very neatly
called to task for predicating our isola-
tion from the present European conflict

stances" 1t mny be extremely difficult

who have spent considerable OF their time
In Europe and who have established
either personal or business connections,

tic and the Pacific. isolating the Ameri-
can continents. II may be that WASH
ington's admonitlon of Commercial reia-
lions with all. but entangiing alliances
with none was inspired In the first place
by the Isolation which nature has given
us, coupled with the realization that Inn
perial!sm and democracy were contrary
conceptions of government.
The spectacle Of the United States
granting independence to Cuba and pledg-
Ing independence to the Philippines should
inspire patriotic Americans with love for
the country which has been true to its
trust. Notwithstanding our tremendous
power as "A nation. Notwithstanding our
ability To gobae up Cuba for material
bencits. we recognize the only principles
that will restore peace on earth and good
VIII among men, "all governments derive
their Just powers from the consent OF the
governed" and che inalienable right OF
man to life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness
Mr. Bigclows letter brstles with recog-
milton OF these principles. particularly
when he points out that II Is no concern
OF the United States how Germany Is
governed and that It IL pernicious med
ding for Americans even To- suggest TO
Germany or TO Germans their ideal In
that respect.
