Senator Simmons of North Carolina
admits that some Of the industries of
his state shave grown large" but he
insists that they have remained hon.
est. A few years ago New England
had practically all of the American
cotton manufacturing industry; now
the South has 100000 spindles to
New England's 100000. The north
ern manufacturers, in Mr.. Simmons
opinion, evidently, are dishonest,
while the southern mill owners are
honest. He won't find many people

its employees.
The success Of Clifford Pinchot in
his fight for the nomination for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania is a great VIC
tory against machine politics. The
machine fought his candidacy to the
last ditch but Mr.. Pinchot won out
which is very notable victory in the
keystone state, where machine poll
