OF peculiar outline, people OF very
simple past, and a remarkable
number Of gentlemen who still cling
to white "lawn" ties, hard-boiled
shirts, and congress shoes"
Also, OF course. that vast congre-
cation of people who "want" some
thing In Washington. "What are
you looking for around here" a re-
mark commonly overheard In the
hotel lobbies.
But there are other American
cities to which everybody" goes,

mark as this: Haven't you ever
been In the subway To the Bronx?
When you go back you certainly
must go in it."
And out in Los Angeles they
boastfully tell you that one way in
which Los Angeles ais like New
York" is this: That whereas a man
may or may not happen to go to
Richmond or to Detroit. sooner or
later you are bound to see him on
the streets of Los Angeles. That.
as say, is what they tell you out
there.
DUT what are those aspects of

many Of the visitors? And which
in some cases 1t is so strange should
be the aspects of such a city,
For one thing. the frst thing
which must strike any stranger to
the city is the enormous extent Of
the souvenir business there. 1t is
perhaps natural enough that this
should be so. and that souvenir
shops should range themselves in
an almost unbroken stretch for
miles. What is not altogether so
easy to answer is why nearly all OF
the souvenirs should be the kind Of
souvenirs they are.

painted" plates presenting a comic
valentine Likeness of George Wash
ington), the paperweights with a
delirious lithograph of the Library
of Congress showing through), the
napkin rings, butter knives and so
on and so on-why should such
millions of these things be precisely
in the style of such articles proudly
displayed in the home of my grand
mother when l was a boy In the
middle West?
Outside of Washington, as far as
1 know in the world. any consider
able exhibition of wares so reminis-
cent of the taste of the past can
only be found along the water front
of a city where men OF ships shop.
And there, along water fronts. you

fhdisputably are historic moments
for the American to recall with sol
emn emotion. And the iniquity vi
these paintings here to minds unin-
structed in works of art is that by
reason of their appeal to sentiments
OF love of country these Nightmares
of ugliness are put over on the visi-
tor as standards OF beauty.

extremely moral note here. In LoE

even more picture cards are dis
played for sale. "A very merry lot
of pictures, those out there-all of
California bathing girls and ve-y
lightly veiied figures, limbs rhytr-
mically flashing in Greek dances"
Such picture cards of gayety, OF
course, may be found In windows
here and there on some streets in

that anybody bent upon buying
such things in Washington would
have to get them from a bootlegger

CONDITION OF CROP IS POOR
Abandonment of Planted Acreage Has
Been Greater Than Usual East Of
the Mississippi River.

Neutrality-suspicious. production this
year promises to be the smallest crop
of the last quarter of century, fore
cast by the department of agriculture
placing it at $4,000 bales, or nearly
five million bales smaller than last
years crop and nearly eight million
bales below the record crop of 1914.
This years average is 28.4 per cent
smaller than last years.
The acreage this year is the small
est since 1900 and never before, ac-
cording to the department of agricul-
ture, has there been so great change
from one year to another in acreage
as there has been from last year to
this year.
The condition of the growing crop
has not in twenty years been so low
on June 25 as this year. All sections
Of the cotton belt have been affected.
Owing to the unfavorable condi-
lions of April and May and to dis
coura ging factors, shortage of fertizi-
1izer and unsatisfactory price, aban-
donment of planted cotton acreage has
been greater than usual east of the
Mississippi river, ranging from five
per cent in North Carolina and Mis-
sissippi to as high as 10 per cent in
Georgia. West of the Mississippi
abandonment has been slight.

FORCE TO MEET WITH FORCE
The Veterans Visit Made Without
Disorder, and After the Speeches,
the Former Soldiers Withdrew.
ROBERT z. HICKS.

Detroit.-Fifty delegates to the con
vention of Disabled American Vete-
rams of the World War invaded the
socialist national convention and warn
ed the socialists that the veterans are
ready ito fight again to defend the flag
against sedition, disloyalty and trea-
son."
Ralph Horr, of Seattle, who led the
invading veterans, told the socialists
that advocates of force would be met
with forcs.
Horr quoted from printed reports
the remarks Of ]. Louis Engdahl to
the general effect that his section OF
the party would fight mot as 100 per
cent Americans, but under the red flag
of international socialism"
81 hope these reports do not repre-
sent the sentiment of your conven
tion," Horr said, but If they do rep
resent the ideas of any among you,
we have come to tell you here that it
people. We have had occasion in Sc
attic to use machine guns to stamp
out disloyalty, seditiOn and trRason
and those guns can be used again."
Cameron King, socialist delegate
from California, replied in behalf of
the socialists.
The visit of the veterans was made
without disorder. After the talks were
made, the former soldiers withdrew.

SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA
WILL NOT RISK ECONOMIC

AND SOCIAL LIFE.
: MIGHTY FERMENTS AT work.
Where are Coming to US Millions OF
People Ignorant Of and Untradt-
toned in SeIf-Government."

Philadelphia.-S Speaking at Fourth
of July mass meeting in Independence
Hall, Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
warned against the novel theories of
government and social and economic
life brought to this country by races
from alien soil-"doctrines born of
the ills of the lands from which they
came; racial remedies, sometimes
self-annihilating to those using them"
mighty ferments are at work
amongst us governmentally and So
cially," the Senator said. To-day
there are coming to us by the mil
lions, peoples from races untradition-
ed and unseasoned in self-govern-
ment, peoples unfamiliar with and
largely unappreciative of it's good and
untutored to tolerate and meet its
evils. There are those amongst us
who deny the very basis of our social
order, the very foundation of our
whole system.
The Senator, in concluding, paid a
tribute to those honest men and wo-
men," who have become a part of the
nations great citizenry and are doing
their part in 1.-The great experiment
of welding together in one great and
homogeneous nation the lovers of hui
