What Chance Has
 The Cotton Planter?

Ramuskeg also has it's stock of raw cotton. which II may now ship down to New York cotton exchange and collect s20 the bale profit by reason of the advanced price.
 This operation not only works both ways from the middle but it also works three ways 10 the self aggrandizement of the Ramuskeg
 Ramuskeg saves loss on the goods contracts cancelled. makes a vast profit on the raw cotton. re- duces the wages of help" and, i'm cidentally. pockets more money than if the mill were running. ~'
 Human nature being what it is, this is just little more temptation than ought to be allowed to assail mere fallible man.
 Regardless of the evil effect it has upon the help" and upon the plant ing interests, our cotton spinning friends ought not to be subjected to any such overpowering temptation to violate the Golden Rule.'

 In the Sunday issue of your paper we note the article under Montgom- cry headline on Cariowville and the contemplated meeting of the Episco- pal council of the state at this place. The people of Carlowyine and victn- ity cannot but express surprise at the apparent lack of knowledge con corning church history in this state since your paper expresses itself as being well informed on present con- ditions in the church
 For general information we would call attention to the fact that Carlow vile was one of the five original parishes in the state, not a Missouri but self-supporting parisn-before Birmingham, before Selma; yes, and even before Montgomery, Carlow vile had her church existence.
 The reason Garlowvlile has been chosen as the meeting place for this special council lies in the fact that at the meeting of tho council in Bir- mingham this past January Carlow ville's invitation was accepted as the place of assembly for the annual council This invitation was again extended for the special council and accepted by Bishop Beckwith on be- half of the diocese of the state, This is the second time that Carlowviile will have the honor of entertaining the delegates at a meeting of the council as one .of the councils prior to the war between the states met at this place.
 Carlowville does not presume to know the rules of etiquette concern ing invitations in the city, but at

Tine present census of the United States now gives about 41 1000, ,000 of the peo- pie out of 110,ooo,o 900 as church mem bers.
 In the tax-paid colleges and uni- versailles of America-called state schools--there are about 101,109 col lege students. not counting profess sional and summer schools, but in- cluding technological colleges. :. In the same grade of private and denominational colleges there are about fl, ,932 students.
 This is a matter of some concern. We are told only one per cent of the population of America ever takes a college degree. Yet. out of this one per cent in the late World war 65 per cent of the army officers came from college graduates. Teachers as rule came from the same class. college graduates.
 Recently questions were sent to 90 colleges which responded that of the 5000 regular students of those institutions, s1 per cent were church members. Let the church learn from the history of the Catholic church not to hedge in study and search for truth.
 Chicago University Warmly Defended
 Time and again criticism has point ed specially by name at the unsound- ness of the faith of teachers. and students of this great university. recent survey made py a writer in the Christian Herald and also in the Literary Digest sets out some re- markable things. There are about 2.065 students in the regular course and 5000 in all courses and classes. Of the regular student body, of the 2.065 students, ss per cent are mem bers of some religious body. Of this number, 67 per cent are Protestant. 12 per cent Jews. 8 per cent Cath olics, and of the non church members. 19 per cent are women, strange to say, and per cent are men. Of this student body, 45 per cent are reg ular churchgoers, and IA per cent are workers in the various young peoples organizations of various churches of the city. If there be much infidelity or rationalism in the faculty, it seems to have little influ- ence on the student body. I venture to say more religious set of 2,o00 young people would be difficult to find under such conditions.
 Take the University of Illinois at Urbana, with 5000 students. As stu dent pastor. there Is one of the Chris tian church, and one is Presbyterian The Christian pastor regarded the infidel professor as rather humorous He stated the college professors as . rule were officers and members of the churches. He knew nothing of the in- fidel professors, The Presbyterian pastor has 400 students in his church as college members.
 The University of Nebraska has 1000 students. The student pastor Id

lCopyrfght, 1922. by Thc Age Herald) Washington, May 2o.-When Gov ernor William c. Sproul of PennsyI- vania, a little more than two years ago invited Clifford Pinchot into his cabinet as forester of the state, he little thought he was bringing upon the screen of renewed public atten- ton a man who. in 1922, was des- tined to turn the republican machine of Father Penn's commonwealth completely upside down.
 Governor Sproul was placed in an embarrassing position this spring, for when Senator Penrose died and the barrier went up, nearly every member of his cabinet wanted to get into the scramble for the governor ship. The least considered of all the candidates was Clifford Pinchot. and so, when the field narrowed to a race between him and Attorney General Alter, Governor Sproul was all for the latter. for Alter was an "organi- zation man" and Pinchot was not Despite all this. MT. Pinchot owes his present political prestige in large degree to Governor Sproul, who pro-
 jected him into the spotlight two years ago.
 The story goes that Pinchot was invited into the Sproul cabinet l much criticisinE from the outside. He was attacking the forestry policy of the administration, so the governor felt that the best way to satisfy Pinchot was to ask him to come in and do the job himself. MT. Pinchot did not hesitate. His appointment was announced at a dinner given by Governor sprou1 to the state ju- dietary at Harrisburg, to which a number of Washington correspon- dents were invited.
 Needless to say, c. Pinchot made good as state forester. He had studied trees in France, Switzerland. in Germany and in Austria long be- fore he became United States forester under Theodore Roosevelt, and what he doesn't know about trees is not set down in any textbook of woods or woodlands. Mir. Pinchot also learned a number of other things in Harrisburg and he put this knowl-

 All Seek Reelection
 All of the above are seeking to succeed themselves with the excep- tfon of Senators Crow, Myers, Page. Williams and King. Senator New was defeated for the nomination by former Senator Beveridge. Senator Crow did not seek renomination and Maj. David Reed of Pittsburg was named to succeed him. Senator Myers of Montana announced his retirement, and while Senator King of Utah has made no formal announcement, he has told hLs friends that he contem- plates a return to the practice of law.
 Senator John Sharp williams of Mississippi announced a couple of years ago that he was through with the Senate. Agreeing to serve out his term, he said he never wanted to sit in the august deliberative body again. He is a-weary of the life.
 Claim Two More States
 The republican managers are counting upon winning Rhode Island and Utah from the democrats ,nd claim to have an even chance or bet ter in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Ohio and Missouri.
 The democrats hold that there Is doubts about the republicans retain ing New Jersey, Massachusetts and Indiana. They claim they will win certainly in Maryland and that the republicans may have unexpected trouble in North Dakota. Virtually all of the republicans have primary opposition-opposition which nas been spurred to renewed activity by the results in Indiana and Pennsyl- vania. There are but few contests among the democrats. the most nota- ble, of course, being the fight Breck- inridgs Long, with the assistance of former President Wilson, Is making against Senator Reed in Missouri.

As matter of fact that is why some senators are away--afraid that someone is trying to take their place.
 The Senate chamber these warm and humid afternoons and evenings has a real mattinggy smll to 1t. an odor familiar to every American housewife. rule permitting sena- tors to appear in their shirt sleeves is all that Is needed now to give the chamber real, old-fashioned down-home atmosphere.
 General Pershlng Is modest man. His modesty is reflected in his uniform. That uniform always is perfectly tailored and immaculate but, in contrast to the foreign gen. erals and adnnirals who have visited our shores. General Pershng wears but single ribbon decoration. Pos sessed of nearly all the honors that can be bestowed upon the warrior of today, he prefers to wear alone the distinguished service, medal of his own United States. Of course, when travelling abroad, and particularly when he is visitor in some land which has bestowed a decoration upon him, General Pershing wears that particular decoration, but here, where his chest might be illuminated like a summer rainbow, the simple little D. s. M. Is enough. It may be recalled that General Pershing was rendered the Distinguished Service Cross. but declined it on the ground that that particular decoration should be conferred to those who won it in action. That is the re- striction upon the famed Victoria Cross. of Great Britain, and Gem eral Pershing felt the same stand ard should apply to the American Distinguished Service Cross.

During the Civil war cotton was contraband. New England mills greatly desiring raw material, raised a "slush fund' and offered tre- mendous bribe to the commanding officer of the Federal armies if he would permit contraband cotton to pass through the lines.
 whereupon, General Hooker tele- graphed to President Lincoln AS fol- lows: "Cotton spectators have of- fered me s20O.0oo to let cotton pass through the lines. Please relieve me from my command. They are getting near my price
