COTTON ENDS WITH
PRICES IRREGULAR
Losses Are Recorded by All
Months Except March, Which
Is 68 Points Higher
NEW YORK, June 25.


Moisture in Texas and Oklahoma during
the last two days caused an easier ten
dency at the cotton opening, and declines
Of IS TO 81 points were recorded, but there
was no pressure TO speak OF. Room traders,
New Orleans and some Southern interests
we're sellers, while Liverpool and other
foreign interests purchased the late months
and Wall street and uptown operators
bought the other options.
Commission houses were sellers on bal
ance.
After the call the demand continued good
and some advances were recorded as the
early supply had been absorbed and there
was no large selling orders in the mar
ket
A furry OF selling followed the publica-
tion of the detailed report Of the Houston
district, showing rainfall of over an inch
in several points. Prices worked back to
nearly the low point of the morning, but a
more careful reading of the weather details
appeared TO disappoint some of the early
sellers and the market stiffened up again
after midday.
Late in the afternoon selling weakened
the market and at the end prices were
is TO 81 points lower excepting March
which was up 6s points, and spot which was
80 points higher.
Exports were the largest of any day in
several weeks.

Government ownership of railroads
may be as desirable in this country as it
is in Germany. but we must first have
public servants who will at least come
somewhere near the standard of Ger
many's public servants in efficiency and
honesty.
Capitalization is the order Uf the day.
The telegraph, the telephone. the auto
mobile and the airship are the causes.
They have wiped out not only old prece-
dents and customs, but State and ma
tional lines as we'll.
A man living in Boston who wishes
to talk to man living in San Fran
cisco simply rings a bell. puts a little
instrument to his ear and proceeds to
talk. There is hardly miracle in the
Bible more wonderful than this.
The doctrine of State rights" is be-
ing rapidly demolished.
The State, viewed as an individual
with the right to do as it pleases within
itself, without regard for other States,
can no longer be tolerated.
We must therefore take on a new na-
tionalism.
The mighty changes taking place in
Europe tell us with unmistakab Bile voice
that the reconstruction period is at hand.
The man of the future must realize it.
He must not look back to the setting but
forward to the rising sun.

WHY INDIyIDUALISM is AS DEAD ASA SMELT
By George w. Perkins.

"Individualism" is as dead as a smelt.
That is my contention.
In this country We have been living
In an age of the utmost freedom to the
individual. 1t has been the individual
istic period.
In. the early days, when instantaneous
intercommunica ton did not exist, when
education was meagre and science un-
DEVELOPED, what the individual did was
of comparatively small consequence, for
his deeds did not reach very far and did
not affect many people.
With fntercommunication drawing
the world together I'm one centralized
community, the act of the individual
can affect a large mum ber of persons;
therefore, that form of freedom which
ls simply another expression for IL
censc to do AZ one pleases can no
longer exist.
Society is finding it necessary to take
away much of what has hitherto been
called freedom of the Individual" In
my judgment this process is only in its
infancy.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
ferences were settled on the basis OF
might makes right" All this is rap
idly changing and we are entering a
period of new industrial relationships.
In my judgment We are just now
entering n period OF cOpartnership
where the tool user will be part tool
owner and where capital and labor
will share more equitably in the
profits of the business in which they
are Jointly engaged.
This advance is inevitable because of
our educational system, which teaches
the workingman to think for himself.
1t In inevitable because strikes and
loekouts can never be settled satisfac-
torily or permanently by merely rails
Ing a mans wages.
No mere increase in wages can ever
satisfactorily solve this problem. 1t can
be solved only on the basis OF profit
sharing.
By profit sharing I do not mean bonus
giving.
Profit sharing can be done satisfacto
rily only when the business concern makes
public it's transactions, so that the la
borer and the stockholder can know as
much about the business as does the
manager himself.
In the adjustment Of difficulties be-
tween capital and labor am confi-
d~nt that open books will accomplish
much more than open shops.
About the only goal we have had has
beer the almighty dollar The first
question asked when 81 man dies is.
