NTEW YORK, March 23.-Suppose that one
~ day, while you were partaking of an in
- nocent stew in the midst of your assem-
bled family, detective suddenly appeared on
the scene and arrested you on the charge OF
having shot and probably fatally wounded a
man. Suppose that this revelation came as a
complete surprise to you, but that upon being
dragged to the hospital where the injured man
lay, you were identified by him as the guilty
party. Suppose, then, that your only alibi was
the word of your family, with whom you were
quietly playing checkers at the time the man
was shot, and that this albi was not considered
sufficient by the guardians of justice. What
would you do?
This is what happened to young workman
here not long ago, and he found that ne could
large bank account, there would have been sew
eral favorable courses open to him, but his
possessions consisted only of wife and three
young children.
The wife did what she could however. Ac-
companied by her children, she went to the
nearest branch of the New York Legal Aid
society, and told her story to one of its at
torneys. The attorney made her tell 1t several
times, and, at last convinced that she spoke the
truth and that her husband was innocent. he
difficult one The injured man had told his
story, and he intended to stick to l.: but after
desperate fight, the societyS attorney was
able to pick sufficient flaws in it to convince
the jury that the workman was not guilty.
Fortunately for thooe who unable to af-
ford the advice and assistance of expert at
torneyS, very efficient Legal Aid society ex-
lists here, which handles thousands of such
cases every year. Begun as German society
for helping German immigrants secure justice,
in 1876, it has since grown into. a large or
ganization with five branches in various Sec
tons of the city and a sixth one in Brooklyn,
which recently had to be closed for lack OF
funds For the society, of course, is phllan-
thropic affair. 1t does the best it can as long
as private subscriptions last, but its activities
must cease Immediately as soon as these are
exhausted.
Unlike most charitable organizations the
offices of the New York Legal Aid society are
dingy, poverty stricken suites in the most in
expensive buildings the locations possess. The
headquarters on lower Broadway consists OF
about three small rooms, crowded with moth
eaten furniture, legal documents, attorneys, in
veStigators and clerks, all getting in each 9TH
er'S way, while the reception room provided for
the clients in space five feet by four con-
tanning two ancient and battle-scarred benches,
which are usually crowded with forlorn-looking
applicants for justice.
The other day, the first applicant summoned
for consultation by the attorney in charge was
widow in somewhat furnished mourning, who
burst into loud sobbing as she attempted to
repeat her story The attorney already knew
part of it, She had been in the office few
mornings before to complain that her husbands
family would not let her attend his funeral.

of all that the present Administration rep
represents.
Senator Smith makes plain his motive and
intent -, len he says in his announcements
|"I would greatly appreciate the indorse-
ment of my State and would not seek to
hold the delegation pledged to me should
a situation develop which, in their opinion,
made it advisable for them to vote for some
one else. I would in that event release
them from any obligation to me and enable
them to freely choose in connection with the
other delegates that candidate who was
considered most available on the principles
announced and who most truly represented
the fundamental doctrines on which the
Democratic party has rested since it's founda-
ton. I would, in no sense, seek or wish
to control their choice"
This puts his candidacy on a purely i'm
personal plane and makes it the champion
ship of a principle and a right. AS for
The Journal, it is in the principle and the
right of the situation, and in them alone,
that we ever have been or are now inter-
ested. Let them be vindicated and our ut
termost wish is satisfied. That they will
be decisively indicated, we earnestly and
confidently trust.

The Farmers Share

TY HE discrepancy between the cost of
raw materials and manufactured
-" products justifes the conclusion that
the producer receives relatively a small
share of the price that the ultimate con-
sumner pays for articles made of cotton cloth.
A recent inquiry by Senate committee ex-
ploded fallacious the popular impression
that the high price of cotton accounts for
the ever-increasing cost Of cotton goods.
The raw cotton entering into the manu-
facture of handkerchief selling for twenty
five cents costs less than one and half
cents, according to the facts developed at
the Senate inquiry. A piece Of bingham that
retails for four dollars and fifty cents con-
tains cotton that sold to the mills for TWEEN
ty-fve cents at the prevailing market price
of forty cents pound for cotton; a piece
Of wolfe that sells for three dollars and
forty-eight cents was made of cotton that
cost only nineteen and half cents, and two
pair Of socks were knitted Of cotton yarn
that cost four and a half cents although
the socks retailed for seventy-five cents.
The raw cotton is the finished product of
the farmer; that is to say, when the staple
is sold in the market at forty or forty
three cents per pound, the price represents
the gross returns the farmer receives for
his article. Included in the market price is
the cost of the labor required to plant and
cultivate the cotton, the cost of picking and
ginning and hauling and baling it. The profit
OF the producer is represented by the mar
gin Of difference between all these costs and
the price he finally receives for his product.
The cotton passes through many hands
after 1t leaves the farmer and before the
manufactured product reaches the consumer
First, there is the matter of transportation
charges from the farm to the mill; the
cotton brokers' commission adds to the
mills cost, in some instances. Then there is
the cost OF spinning the cotton and weaving
the cloth, with reasonable profit to the
mill.
After the cotton goods leaves the mill It
passes through several hands before it final
~ reaches the consumer, and, of course
every person who handles it makes profit,
which is passed along through the retailer
to the public.
Notwithstanding all these charges, which
add to the ultimate COST the conclusion is
inevitable that the discrepancy between the
price OF the raw material and the manufac-
tured product is out of all proportion, and
that the farmer is not getting his propor-
tlonate share of the ultimate price.
When the farmer receives only nineteen
ana half cents as his gross price for cot
ton, which Is manufactured and sold to the
pubic for three dollars and forty-eight cents,
IL becomes apparent that somewhere along
the line some one is making an excessive
proht, which eventually comes out of the
pocket of the consumer

Sugar in the Southeast.

Particularly interesting among recent
projects for sugar production in the South
east is the acquisition Of some seventy thou
sand acres of Florida Everglades land in
the region of Miami by a company Of Penn
sylvania capitalists. They are planting, to
begin WITH four hundred acres of cane for
seed, reports the Manufacturers Record, the
tract for this purpose being laid out in one
acre plots so that a wide variety of expert
ments in growing may be conducted It is
expected that by next autumn at least five
thousand acres will be prepared and con-
yenient sugar mill in operation. Eventually
the entire expanse will be cultivated and mills
established to take care Of the output.
SO extensive an investment by business
men who have had ample experience in the
sugar industry should call forth similar en-
terprises, not only in Florida but in adjacent
States as we'll. Parts of Georgia are superla-
lively suited to sugar cane growing, and
doubtless would develop into large producers
if a substantial beginning once was made
and adequate facilities for grinding and re-
fining were provided.
It is not to be wondered that fOresighted
capital is attracted to this industry when one
observes how rapidly in recent years the
worlds demand for sugar has increased and
at the same time how prOnOuncedly the sup
ply has failed to keep pace Authorities pre-
dict that whatever reimbursement of present
prices there may be, the market for many
years to come will be such as assure the
efficient grower and manufacturer goodly
rewards.

IF YOU ARE MANNED
By H. Addington Bruce

TIME other day saw one-armed beggar
on the street His empty sleeve was a
pathetic appeal for help. More pathetic
was the anxious strained expression on his
drawn features
Yet most pathetic of all, to my way of think
ing, was the evident fact that this poor fellow,
still young in years, had abandoned all thought
of Self-Support.
The loss of his arm no doubt had deprived
him of means of livelihood to which he had
been trained. But surely he could train him
sef-or be trained-tO some other galntul oc-
cupaton.
remember in substance the words of a
friend himself cripple, who had actually con-
trived to make his life more useful one after
his Gripping than it had ever been before.
"Why say that because man has lost an
arm he is no good? Why not give him JOB
for which only one arm is required, thereby
saving the waste of using man with two arms
for work which requires only one?
"We have millions of individuals in our in
situations who, though untitled to do normal
days work, have enormous possibility in lines
unaffected by their disease or disability. BY
the reclamation of even small percentage OF
these patients not only would society be
largely recompenSed but individuals themselves
would be much benefited"
This, of course, is plea for an organized
social effort looking to the reclamation of the
disabled IndorSing it, | would also urge the
disabled not to wait for society to act, but to
make an effort to reclaim themselves.
Even when Gripping accident comes late in
life it is wrong and foolish to jump to the
conclusion:
"My days of usefulness are done. cannot
continue at my regular work, and | am too old
to learn anything new"
But learning is possible at almost any age
provided one has a sincere desire to learn.
TO the manned it should always be question
not Of supnely surrendering to fate, but of
courageously and calmly ascertainng what work
can still be done despite the maming-then
learning how to do that work
By such a course diseases and accidents that
cripple would be robbed of half their terrors.
Peace of mind would be retained, the joy
of accomplishment the content of self-relance
And the physically as we'll as mentally wasting
effects of illness would be thwarted.
Take this to yourself if you are among the
disabled and have already begun to think that
the future holds nothing for you in the way of
tor about what activity is yet available for you.
Ask the advice of friends.
Depend upon it, there is something useful
you can do. 1t will be infinitely worth your
while to find it and to do it,

yoIlhUTi pOl1tlcS and frebrand radi-
q calism are yoke-fel1ows after all, de-
spite the fact that specifically thew
are k1ckers one against the other. Both are
INSCRIPTIONS and unpatriotic, both are de-
struct1ve of a nations best traditions and
best hopes. One brides its way, and one
DULLES; but each is the enemy Of the people
and, in a land like America, is brought at
last to book.
Witness the recent convictions Of Truman
H. Newberry and Victor Berger the money
made Senator and the bolshevist congress-
man. Social extremes" says the Louisville
Courier-Journal by way of describing them,
and goes on: Berger before the war was
champion of a class opposed to the social
order existing, and during the war champion
Of a class which was disloyal and damned
the war as a capitalistic enterprise. New
berry made his race as a champion of the
existing social order, a conservative, a kid
glove statesman" but, "a genuine and a
great triumph Of clean Americanism is reg
istered in the conviction of these two aspi-
rants for part in the making of the ma
TONS laws"
Extremes they are on the surface; but
at heart what matters it whether the foe of
law and freedom goes suavely and with SOL
emn salutatiOns to the flag, or in bawling
defiance of things worthy to be honored and
revered? The only difference is that the for
mer is the more hypocritical and the more
insidiously dangerous. Radicalism will sting
it's own scorpion death, but corruption preys
upon the very vitals of government if left
unchecked
It augurs we'll for America in these trou-
bled days that public sentiment is so set and
sharpened against both these ills; for with
clean hands and a clear head, nation can
grapple the stubbornest problems.
