DON'T BESMIRCH THE
JUDICIAL ROBES

Just a few years ago there was a
great hue and cry throughout the
length and breadth of Tennessee
that our judiciary must be kept out
of politics; that the judicial robes
must not be besmirched by political
contamination, and lot of similar
talk.
But it would seem that today our
judiciary is the whole political thing.
No political move may be made in
Tennessee without first getting the
consent of the judiciary. Bills to be
enacted by the legislature must first
be submitted to the judiciary. The
judiciary must approve every con-
vention scheme, and so on.
Now it conaes by grapevine that
a member of the supreme court has
h S eye on the governors chair, look
ing forward, of course, to berth in
the United States senate.
These self-constituted guardians
of the democratic party in Tennes-
see ought to keep the judicial robes
clean" They can only do it by keep
ing out of politics, which they have
not done. The Enterprise will not
only not support, but will oppose
any member of the supreme court
for any political office in Tennessee.

Cotton Crop Shows
Some Improvement

Reports to the Commercial Appeal,
which reports are of the average
date Of June %, indicate that the
cotton crop averaged rather pro-
nounced improvement during the
month, but that the general condi-
ton of the crop is considerably be-
low the average for the end of
June.
These reports embrace correspond
ence covering 1882 counties or par
ishes in the 10 principal cotton pro-
ducing states.
All reports indicate that the acre
age has been very largely reduced.
West Of the Mississippi River rains
were ample for cotton, and in some
instances excessive, but not greatly
detrimental; temperatures favorable
for cotton. Eastward, especially in
the Atlanties, drouth, accompanied
by high temperatures, was against
the growth of the plant, but check
on boil weevil. Beneficial rains have

recently occurred in Georgia and
the Carolinas, but were mostly 10
cal in character; drouth spots re-
main.
Dry weather was favorable for
field work and fields east of the
river are clean and usually we'll cul-
tivated, but some complaints of
grass in the west, although not Sc
rious.
The plant appears to be healthy,
but, in some sections, owing to late
ness, drouth or lack of fertilizer, or
to combination of causes, is small.
The crop in Texas and Oklahoma
seem to be doing particularly well;
in Arkansas also, on the whole, sat
isfactory progress is being made,
notwithstanding heavy boil weevil
infestation southeast.
Alabama makes more serious
complaint of boil weevil than any
other state, with Georgia close
second. South Carolina is, for the
first time, experiencing something
approaching statewide infestation;
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ok
lahoma are the only states in which
boil weev'l does at this time threat
en- serious damage boil weevil is
present in each of these three states,
but infestation is light, and little
apprehension is felt.
Much replanting has been neces-
sary, and stands are only fair on
the average, but rather better in
Texas and Oklahoma than elsewhere.
Numerous reports that stands are
poor are offset by reports that stands
are excellent, but the majority of
reports indicate that stands are fair
to good.

TENNESSEE

While some localities have lacked
sufficient rain, the weather as rule
during the past 80 days has been ia
vorable for cotton, although not so
favorable for other crops. No boil
weevil is reported except in few
counties along the Tennessee River,
where the damage so far is negligi-
BILE. Stands fair to good, plant
healthy looking but late; fields
clean. Crop has averaged improve
ment during the month and reports
indicate that on the whole it is
somewhat better than at the same
time last year.
