QUEBEC. Ont. Sept. 11.-With the loss of eleven lives today. the sec ond attempt to bridge the St. Law renee river here resulted in a failure when the massive center span, weighing 5,l00 tons, suddenly col lapsed and fell into the river. Of the ninety men caught on the span when it began to sway, all were rescued except the eleven, and of these only four bodies have been found.
 Tn span was being raised from pontOons and was about fifteen feet above the water when, from some unknown cause it collapsed and sank
 into the river. which is 200 feet deep at this place. s
 The St. Lawrence river was filled with many boats at the time of the accident and on the hills along the shore were hundreds of persos who the continuation of the mighty en- gineering project. The big steel
 frame was taken in tow to the gap
 which it was expected to fill
 Shortly after o'clock the pom
 toons reached the allotted place and
 were withdraw by tugs, leaving the
 massive girder resting on hydraulic jacks. These had begun to raise the big span while the crowds shouted, thinking they had seen the most impressive ceremony of the bridge aising, the spectators began to leave, when suddenly there was a roar of breaking steel ard the span dived into the water.
 The ninety men or more who were | on the span were thrown into the river. and about sixty-five were res cued by pleasure crafts.

DON'T GET SCARED.

The July crop report Of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
so bearish in its nature as to cause
no slight alarm among the growers
and dealers in the fieecy staple. And
while we do not believe that the re-
port by any means indicates a finality
as to the future price of the staple,
still it puts the prospects for living
price further away than few weeks
ago.
In this report the lesson is taught
or rather proven that the cotton grow
er always does the thing that he is
told or warned not to do. The crop
for 1915 was small, exceeded but
little over 1000 bales. The result
was fairly good prices and continu-
ed rise until now. OF course this re-
pert is based on the condition of the
crop at the present time and the in
crease in acreage. This will approx!-
mate more than 100000 acres owe.
last years acreage, which of itself to
say nothing of the crop conditions
would naturally cause decline in the
market. The farmer has been urged
since the extremely large crop O
1914 and the exceeding low price, t.
cut the acreage. He has been told o
the results that were bound to follow

self.
We don't believe, however, that the
conditions are as bad as would seem
at first sight. We must remember
that it was not altogether the large
crop of 1914 that made such low pric-
es. 1t was that year in which the Eu-
ropean war broke out, and teh cotton
exchanges were all closed, so that
there was virtually no market. Now,
while the European war is still in
progress, conditions have improved
and while exports are still below the
normal, yet they are being made, and
besides great quantities of cotton are
being used for other than textile pur-
poses, which was not true before
the war. At this time immense guam
titles are being us I'd in the making of
gun cotton and other war material, so
even with a large crop this year, we
may also expect larger consumption
than ever before. And especially will
this be true if this country engages
in a war with Mexico, which now
seems almost inevitable.
1t is therefore our opinion that the
grower should not get alarmed, but
sit steady in the boat, and by all
means not rush his cotton on the
market just as soon as it is gathered.
Go slow and we believe all will be
well for the cotton grower despite the
fact of increased acreage, and the
prospects of abundant yield.

PLEASURE-MAD AMERICANS.

"The world is growing better every
day. is a trite statement that we
often hear. But do we all believe it;
The trend of modern times seems
to be toward an extravaganza of lux
uries and pleasures to the exclusion
of the better and more formable aids
to character building. 1t is unques-
tionably a fast-moving age There Is
an excitment of living and doing that
begets restlessness in the ranks OF
the people. great and small, high anu
low, rich and poor. The minds of so
many people are turned instinctively
to the trash of worldliness that we are
often astonished at the ridiculous
forms it takes.
In the life of the average American
is there a proper desire to cultivate
the mind and improve the body? Is
there realization of the necessity for
holiness and reverence? Is life TAX
en- conservatively and sanely? 1t
would seem not to be so, when we
look upon the various forms of amuse-
ment that grasp and hold the minds
and bodies of so many of our people.
There is serious thought for the
real American men and women in this
tendency. There is limit to which
we will some day arrive, and then
will begin the breaking down of our
civilization, such a breaking down as
has been visited upon every power
mad, pleasure-swamped nation in the
history of the world.
The fact that the children of this
time are indulging in worldiness to an
extent that the habit is formed in
early youth, is suicidal step SEEM
ingly unrealized by American par
ents. They lose their respect for
a parents command, they enmesh
themselves early in worldiness that. to
our mothers, would have been horrible
and unthinkable.
The seed was sown by the present
it will bear an abundant
harvest in the next, and we shudder
o think of the harm it may bring up
IN the careless, care-free men and wo-
men who are coming after US, with
