COTTON'S DEPRECIATION IN
VALUE.

Twenty-cent cotton sounds like wealth
unfathomed, but the farmer is poorer with
twenty-cent cotton than he was with
twelve and a half cent cotton. This is
why-the figures are compiled by The
New York Journal of, Commerce:
When, before the war, cotton sold for
1917 cents. narrow standard prints were 3
cents; corn, 62L2 cents; shoes. So: wheat,
67Iz cents; lard, s cents; wool, 10 to 20
cents.
With cotton at 90 cents, prints are 6 "a
cents, corn, $152; shoes: s.: wheat s. 40;
lard, 22Iz cents; wool 60 cents to S120.
Thus cotton, though it has risen in price,
has dropped in value.
Compared with corn, cotton has declined
to cents; the same with shoes, with
wheat, to 7 SIG cents; lard, ~ cents ;
wool, 8 SIG cents.
From which it appears that foodstuffs
are the proper crop to raise-a fact that
has been preached for years, and if the
farmers have sinned in cotton, they have
only themselves to blame.
Even supposing cotton goes to 80 cents
next year, it will be a losing venture, if
planted as other than an excess crop, for
foodstuff and manufactured articles will
be up and the present economic balance
maintained-if indeed one more unfavor-
able to the One-CrOp farmer has not been
established
Farmers who have Overpianted in cotton
would actually make money by blowing it
under now and developing a fall garden
And all should reduce their acreage next
year.

NEWSPAPER AND CONGRESSIONAL
ETHICS
ETHICS.

y Newspaper men, seeking admission to
the press gallery of congress, must sign
declaration that their principal business is
furnishing news to daily papers, and that
while members of the gallery corps. they
will not undertake any other business or
become interested in any legislation pend
ing before congress-
About three, out Of every five congress-
men are connected with law firms at home
or in Washington, and many OF them do
become interested in pending legislation,
through clients Of these firms
Newspaper men are strict in their ethics
and are the first to den0unCe any of their
number who become involved in outside
business-as witness the recent resolution
of the gallery press committee, condemn
ing certain correspondents who were fur
nishing brokerage offices with information
likely to affect the market-public state
ments in congress, little things dropped
here and there that would be overlooked
entirely by others.
Unusual precautions are taken to pre-
vent the newspaper reporters from lobby
inc and it is well; but big interests have
found that it is more efficient to have their
representative in congress itself than to de
pend on the lobby Eliminating the middle
man saves money besides. Study the re-
cords and YOU will see how thoroughly Big
Business is represented in congress-the
brewers. the liquor dealers, the cotton men,
the steel people, and all the others.

HEROISMl

Soon the dispatches will be telling of
the heroism of our boys-gallant charges
made, forlorn- hopes held, conspicuous
bravery achieved by men whose previous
lives gave no suggestion of such greatness
or spirit,
Heroism is not only evoked on the bat
tleheld. however. There was the case Of
Studley-Stowe \. Studley a fireman on
the Petapsco, who. when a shipmate was
knocked overheard, notwithstanding the
choppy sea, strong tide, and the fact that
he was fully clothed, leaped after him and
saved the mans life. For this he has been
commended by the secretary of the navy
it is the cross Of bravery.
There is no need to speculate concerning
Studleys actions on the battlefield, nor for
that matter in everyday life. Heroism is
simply doing ones duty, regardless of the
cost.

During President Taft's administration,
representatives of the various government
departments conferred on proportions and
other details of the national flag, resulting
in an executive order, dated October 90,
1912, which tended to standardize the

FOR wHooPING COUGH

Editor of the Pensacola Journal:
An old, tried and true remedy for
whooping cough, which has been
found in numerous cases to afford re-
lief, and which I can personally rec
ommend, is as follows:
Best West India rum, l pint; anise
oil, 2 ounces; honey, I pint; lemon
juice, ounces. Mix we'll together.
Dose for adult, tablespoonful or
4 times daily; children, teaspoonfuI
3 or 4 times daily; for infants, add
equal parts sugar and water to dose.
l cheerfully offer the above to the
people.
Very truly,

Bonus,

on the Atlantic coast have compelled
vessel owners to raise wages of able
seamen and firemen to $50 a month;
oilers and pumpmen, SOS; boatswains,
$50, and carpenters. SIS. At a con-
ference of seamen from the northern
part of the coast from Norfolk north
east these figures were agreed to be-
cause they are being paid in indivi-

war zone will pay so per cent bonus
in addition to these rates, same to
continue until the crew return to the
United States. If the clothing of these
workers is lost, through the loss of the
vessel. 800 compensation is to be
paid in each case. The conference
suggested that some system of insur-
ance. such as has been in operation in
Europe, be established so that men
permanently injured may be compen-
stated or the dependents of men who
fail to come back may be compen-
stated. While able seamen as a class
are not married, many of them have
mothers. fathers or sisters who de-
pen: upon them as bread winners.
