Estimate Cotton Damage
In Texas at SiO,OOO,OOO

AUSTIN, Texas. Aug. 23-An
estimate of the cotton damage
caused by the recent tropical hur-
ricane that swept the gulf coast
territory of Texas places the loss
at from 100000 to 100000 bales,
or from $4,000, 900 to Sl5, 100000.
The fact that only small per-
centsgs of the cotton had been
picked in the large producing
counties bordering the coast and
that many of the fields were swept
clean of their crops 10y the terrific
wind, leads to tho placing of the
loss at such high figure by men
who have been through the devast.
ed territory.

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. I'D. WATSON

IT -E Government has started an investiga-
ton to determine the cause of the pres
cnt high price of wheat-whether it is caused
by the law of supply and demand, or whether
the spectators have control of the market.
No doubt both causes will be found to exist
the great demand from the European coun-
tries at war having given the spectators an
almost unlimited Opportunity to manipulate
prices to suit themselves
But what relief an investigation will bring
is very doubtful, for the wheat supply can be
cornered long before all the Government red
tape can be unWound in an investigation.
Ii the Government wants to keep our sup
ply of breadstuff here at home, Congress
should place an embargo on such products
without waiting for any investigation.
The price of -four has already gone too high
for the poor man, the bakers have cut the size
Of loaf Of bread, and with it certainty
that the short loaf will soon be increased in
price
The President has yielded to the Senate in
the patronage fight, but only after he had been
told by Senators that Secretaries McAdoo and
Burleson had been butting in and meddling
in a way that the Senate would not put up
with.
Secretary McAdoo especially has been using
his influence with the President to secure the
appointment Of his friends to places that
rightly belonged to the Senators.
Mr.. McAdoo, like Mr. Bryan, undoubtedly
had notion in his head that Mr.. Wilson
would refuse a second term nomination. and
that by building up machine of his own
through Presidential appointments, he could
keep the Presidency in the family for four or
eight years longer-even if Wilson did have
a full dose during the one term.
But Mr. McAdoo, like Mr.. Bryan, has
shown his incapacity and leaning to Wall
Street interests too strongly to be elected to
any office.
He has the reputation Of being great tun-
mel builder, but mighty poor Secretary Of
the Treasury.
The Naval Committee of the House Of
Representatives has agreed upon a building
plan for the Navy during the next year that
provides for two battleshps at cost not to
exceed $14,75O,OOO each.
One fleet of submarines, to cost 81 100000.
Sixteen coast submarines, not to exceed
$55O000 EACH
Six submarine destroyers, not to exceed
$925,OOO each, exclusive of armament.
One oil fuel ship, not to exceed 81 100000.

the bigger navy, led by Mr.. Hobson, wanted,
but this bill will mean an appropriation Of
$146, 100000, which added to what the army
will get, and what the different appropria-
tons total will be sufficient to make the tax
burden greater than ever.
The fact that the people are unable to stand
exorbitant appropriations never seems to
cut any figure with Congressman while he
is voting their money to the Steel Trust or
the Powder Trust.
While the Naval Committee of the House
was shaping the Naval appropriation bill to
present to Congress, the inventor Of the fuse
used in the famous German ~ centimetre
gun. Mr.. Louis Gathmann, was telling the
Senate Committee on naval affairs that the
Ordnance Committee Of the Navy had been
under the influence of Andrew Carnegie and
j. Z. Morgan for years.
If you believe Mr.. Gathmann, and there is
plenty of evidence to co1roborate his story,
"Is it any wonder that Carnegie was able to
sell his steel plant to the Steel Corporation for
$200,000,000 $30O,000,000 in excess of it's
real value, and is it any wonder that Mr.. Morgan
was able to put so much water in the stock of
the Steel Corporation when they had the Ordnance
Bureau Of the Navy Department as allies?" said
Mr.. Gathmann.
For years it has been an open secret that
the Steel Trust was robbing the Government
on armor plate, as we'll as other material used
IN building battleships and cruisers because
the Government was paying the highest price,
and getting cheap, inferior material.
If our vessels had been built out of the
material that they we're supposed to be built
of, how is it that so many of our ships are
now considered little better than old junk?
Think of the millions that have gone to the
Steel Trust kings, and now we are informed
that our Navy isn't strong enough to fight
one Of the big nations,
The investigation Of Minister Sullivan to
Santo Domingo is throwing some light on
Secretary Bryans putting men in Office that
IS discredit to Mr.. Bryan, as a man, and
amazingly SO as Secretary of State.
In a letter to Walter W. Wick, the man
who exposed the graft Of the Sullivan crowd,
Mr.. Bryan wrote as folows:
"Now that you have arrived and have ac-
quainted yourself with the situation, can you let
me know what positions you have at your dis

And the way the Secretary succeeded in
getting his incompetent friends on the Santo
Domingo payroll about equals what he has
done for his incompetent friends here at
home, and when Wick brought charges calling
the attention Of Mr.. Bryan to conditions
there he completely ignored them.
So far as Mr.. Bryan is concerned the same
conditions that made the honest official, Wal
ter W. Wick, resign, would have continued
throughout the Sullivan regime, or until the
grafters and exploiters had done all the rob
bing that they cared to bother with, for Mr.
Bryan whitewashed Sullivan after Wick had
laid his evidence before the State Depart
ment, and returned Sullivan to his post Of
duty
Mr.. Bryan lowered the dignity of his office
when he left his duties at Washington to de-
liver lectures for so much per lecture but
not so much as does this letter to Wick, show
ing him to be nothing but political spoils-
