More Trenches Taken
 From John Barleycorn

TIT is probable that New York's
 l GreatSWhite Way will continue to
 be illuminated to it's full candle power,
 or kilowatt power, as in the days or nights when the German plotter was abroad in the land, but we were still at peace with the Kaiser. How ever. the outlook for old John Barley corn is, to say the least of it, gloomy The .'illumination" of one's person by . certain number of alcoholic drinks, taken according to capacity, twill be less easy in the future, because one thousand New York saloons and re- tail liquor stores have closed their doors, probably never to open them again. Federal and state taxes of all kinds and the increased cost of liquor
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-03

are given as the reasons for so many dealers going out of business.
 A new state law, providing that aft CT September 30 there shall be only one saloon to every five hundred in habitants in political subdivisions having less than 55,0OO population" 7" will close about 1500 saloons in New York state this month. President McLenahan of the Retail Liquor Dealers association estimates that 5000 saloons will have to close up in the next six months, if present con- ditions continue.
 Naturally, announcements of this sort hearten the prohibitionists and encourage them to continue the fight for a complete and everlasting knock out of old John Barleycorn. Yet, there are enormous quantities of whisky stored away for future use-the big distilleries manufactured millions of gallons in preparation for the coming drouth-and it will be a problem for city and state authorities to keep this liquor from circulating, not only Tn the "wet" parts of the country con- trary to law, but also where it is con- structively "dry.'
 Of one thing, however, we may rest assured. The ornate thirst em- porium," with mahogany, cut glass and other appurtenances, will be the last to go. It is the little fellows who are being crowded out now.

German Editors
 Challenge Accepted

5R EW, if any, of the German l language newspapers published in America have just grounds to re- sent the campaign that has been launched for their suppression. They have been gully of so many seditious utterances, both before and after war was declared, that their claim of loy- alty to the United States can easily be set at naught by quotations from their own editorials.
 Recently the Pittsburg Post cen- sured the principal of a Pittsburg high school because pupils were taught to sing German song in the German language The Volksblatt and Freiheits- -Freund, German language newspaper published in Pittsburg, de- tended the principal and attacked the Post.
 The editor of the German newspa- per printed communication in Eng fish on the front page of his paper, addressed to the editor of the Post, in which the following statement ap- peared: If you can point out in the Volksblatt and Freiheits-F -Freund any thing disloyal, seditious or treasona- ble, it is your duty to do so."
 In reply the Post republishes an editorial from the Volksblatt and Freiheits-F -Freund of July 4, 1917, which reads:
 Those who today, July f. read the
 Declaration of Independence should
 not read it aloud, as that immortal
 document contains several traitor
 ous places about our dear allies.
 Properly speaking the document
 should be burnt publicly by the
 nan iiiah'
 The answer is complete and con- vincing. Unless the editor of the Volksblatt and Freiheits- Freund is prepared to burn all his files and de- stroy the evidence" he had better keep his mouth shut Furthermore, copies of his paper are probably in the hands of the department of jus tice, where they can be used if nec- essary. And just by way of giving the pro-German editor something else to think about the Post prints at the end of it's reply the significant words, "To be continued"

Final Estimate
 on Cotton Crop

61HE government's system of crop
 ll reporting is as near complete as it we'll could be. As matter of course reports made on the condition of cotton early in the summer are sub ject to large changes as new cotton year approaches, but the estimates in September are seldom far from the actual figures revealed by the ginning reports.
 The government has issued it's final report on the condition of the crop and it calls for 12,O47 1000 bales. A few weeks ago bears on the cotton market figured out a 12,500,0 ,000-bale crop, and even the official estimate month ago called for 12,499, ,000 bales.
 Considering the reduced acreage and the damage o0ne py tne DOH WeeVli the crop is surprisingly large. Cotton ginned prior to September 25.was only 2,49S,381 bales, owing to the late picking, as compared with 4,081 ,989 ginned prior to the same date in 1916. The price of the staple--around 24 cents--is not bad by any means, but there is a strong belief that it will go much higher.
 l Many farmers will hold their cotton for 30 cents, and some of them will not sell even at that price. Thirty cent cotton and fancy price for seed will bring the value of the south's crop to something like $2,500, ,O0O, ,00O.
