O, will be gener-k airy , regretted. He is one of tba Creak reformers whom recent years hava ? developed, who live in tho .clouds and dream dreams. After ' hating acquired by rational and hon est business methods a competency, he entered into local politics and at tempted the impossible. His great fight mayor was for a three-cents treat; car fare. The service at thla fignr was wretched and the people at a recent referendum voted for a re turn ! to a five-cents rate. But they were too late about It, for his good. Tha most of his Investment was In the street railway system, and it has Just gone Into the hands of a receiver. This : comes of trying to furnish something for leas than It costs. Tom Johnson has sacrificed himself, has wrecked a fine fortune, for the sake cf an idea.

Let us sea Just, what the Brazilians undertook to do - The word fvalortse" hi v -recent coinage' and can' hardly have . found its way Into any of tha dictionaries as yet It may be defined as a device for the attempted, maintenance ,of the price of any commodity, by artificial means.. Coffee is tha , commodity to' which the valorisation Idea has been applied ,in Brazil, The principal eoffee-produolng State ef that otun try, led by tha State of Sao Paulo, at tempted to fix and maintain within certain limits the price of the better grades of coffee. Coffee, It ehould b remembered,- is to these Brazilian States what cotton Is to the South, and, like the South, they produce much mora of their chief ataDle than an tha world besides. Their macket- tng problem thus resembles ' the South's. very closely. After a period of great - profits, leading naturally to enormous extension of planting oper ations, over-production no less nat urally followed. , Prices fell, and many planters were threatened with ruin. In this emergency there arose certain false prophets of the economic school known In the United State as PopullBtic, and they secured ah actual trial for what their American breth ren had advocated in vain. The gov ernment was to end everybody's troubles and make-everybody well off. In its practical aspects, their scheme was decidedly more rational than any proposed by the American Populists, but H flew no leas In the face of the Immutable realities. Including, chiefly, the law if supply and demand. Still, recalling from American experience of a decade or more ago, how hard times often make such economic fallacies temporarily popular, we cannot won der that they got their way. These Brazilian agrarian-paternal' 1st decided that the three coffee-pro' duclng States, with the sanction of the Federal government, should borrow money for use In buying up coffee and keeping it off the market. Though ooflee tree requires five years to mature, certain restrictions were laid upon planting the scheme-framers having sense enough to see the neces sity for this. With the same end In view, and to help provide funds, s tax was levied on coffee exports. Under the constitution of the United States, it may be said here, none of these restrictions would have been permissible. The obvious purpose was to run a corner. It was suppos ed that by pledging the public credit for many millions of dollars and at the same time keeping control over the producer a control which the nature of coffee planting made pe culiarly easy the conditions fatal to Individual cornerers of great staple In every recorded instance could be safely avoided. recent statement of the first year's experience showed that the States bad borrowed 193,000,000, of which nearly IJ8.000.0OO was borrow ed on bonds and over $65,000,000 on purchased coffee, and had spent near ly IT6.000.000. On hand at present are about 117,000.000 and MS7.000 bags of coffee. The tales, with all their advantages, find themselves facing Insuperable difficulties. They can't sell their coffee now without breaking the market all to pieces and they can't take up the surplus from the' new crop without a new loan. But even If they became financially able to care for this year's crop, they would find pressing upon them the next year's and the crop of the year after that Their condition would be getting worse all the time. They are now seeing what they ought to have seen from the first Coffee Is break ing the coffee corner. Just as cotton breaks cotton corners and wheat breaks wheat corners. The Brazilian 8tates could make: headway only by fighting production so savagely as to render the planter's condition worse than It has been yet, with small pros pect of .ultimate success, anyhow. Brazilian credit has already suffered great injury. Bo. finding no one will ing to finance their misguided venture any further, the States now seek only to get out of the scrape on as good terms aa possible. Giving full writ ten assurances that Sao Paulo (rep- resenting the three) "shall go ont of the coffee business in all respects, that H shall give up all propaganda and other - enterprise- far- as present contracts admit, and that H shall make no attempt In the- future to con trol by artificial arrangement the coffee market ia any wayAthey hava arranged with a London .bond house for a 175,000,00 loan. Xven thus the loan 'could not be secured until the republic -of Brazil had added Its guarantee. The surrender to tha law. of supply and demand, . which. It ha been found, respects neither princi pal ttlea nor powers when challenged on a great scale. Is complete and un conditional , . .

For over ; two year the coffee trade . has been de moralized, the government action af fecting the market, on the whole, un favorably. The planter ha received little or na" benefit up "to thla time, aad now ; heavy trouble await him both a a planter and aa a tax payer.

' The; Newton Enterprise, dismissing the announcement that Stat Chair man Eller will soon appoint-, a' com mittee of five members of the State executive committee to formulate changes in the Democratic plan of or ganization to be submitted later to the full committee, says, with It ac customed good senaetVX- "..fT f" "Tha aim Should be to minimise and not t accentuate the Importance of Jthe pri maries. . It we eouid get rid of the , vot ing between Democrats' and Democrats altogether and gat back to the old sys tem of appointing Uninatruoted delegates to the State convention, ' it would be bet ter for tha party. The arraying of Demo crats against Democrats at the ballot box makes breaches In the party that can not be bridged over before the election sad have served as p roll On recruitiar sta tion i for the Republican party.' "But If the committee decides to retain the primary elections tn any form, let the people now resolve, while the inci dents of the last one are fresh In their minds and while there are no candidates In sight to whom any personal applica tion can be made, that, they will, not stand another speaking campaign by candidates for Governor, Senator or any other important office or headquarters from whlcb money is distributed and sc- uvviwurt ie wnw on iu ooosi ont man and assassinate another. The next man who undertakes to Inaugurate this sys tem and force his rivals to follow suit. should be ostracized and excommuni cated." The mall which brought The En terprise brought also .The Ruther fordton Sun, a paper of equal intelli gence, which says the same thing on the came subject and says it well. Thus: "Tha Sun referrinx to another matter believes this to be true; and one of these sources of weakness which It may safely point out now while other sources are held for future demonstration, la the adoption for the last tour years of the party primary. Ita affect upon party or ganization is demoralising, and we 'had almoat said' pernicious. - Employing against party frlanda methods of eleo tloneering that would not be itonorable even if employed against party enemies, can result only In destroying party en thusiasm If not endangering party loyal ty. The intention of the party primary may be ail 'rlcht: but ao far as expedi ency and practice go. It la usually asso ciated wKh much that Is wrong. The old precinct meetings ana county conven tion! may have been opoa to abuses and parbapa were so; but they did not fur nish one opportunity for machine manipu lation wnare in a primary rumiaoea a score. Nor did they generate party iauda and fraternal strife, to be fostered and fed until they became destructive all through the campaign of that free spirit of liberty and loyalty without which no party contest can be won. Honor ana boneety, . truth and Justice, are cardinal virtues; and so long as they are em blasoned upon our party standards may we xo forth confidently te battle. But we oannot employ against a party brother any narrow, unaer-nana metnoa oi party competition, and than In the end expect him to prove himself a .saint .where we have been 'a sinner,?. If the Democratio party of North Carolina does not realise the truth of these sayings without "argument, then argument would be useless. It may, however, 'be added, that in remem brance of the character of-the ante- primary campaign preceding tha State convention In June of this year, it 1 amazing that th party mad in the recent election as good a showing It did, and that it cannot safely take the chances on another such exhibi tion. The fidelity of, the minority in the party under the circumstance In spires new confidence in the good faith of humanity, but there is. a point beyond- which, under frequent tests, it will not endure. Tha Armed Coward, Chattanooga Times. Why is it that the armed man al ways expects an unarmed antagonist to make "a motion a If reaching tor gun V -Houston post. For two very palpable reasons: (1) The man who habitually goes armed Is. generally speaking, a coward and has blood-lust In his heart; naturally he takes the slightest demonstration on the part of his antagonist to be a threat and a challenge to gratify hla passion for taking life, which being true be S) always nna it nanay to avoid the responsibility for his crim inal intent and his lawlessness to trump up torn sort of plea or pretext for Invoking self-defense -a plea con venient to so many assassins Intended by the lews only to protect the mno cent and what could be better to that end than "he put . his hand to ward his pistol pocket."

' Mr. Wllloughby ha made a careful study of the wildcat creamery nnan clerlng in the South and knows all the trick of the promoter. "It la hardly necessary to say," Mr. Wllloughby; explained in a paper which was read to the Commission ere of Agriculture of the v Southern States at their recent convention in NaahvUle, Tenn., "that the principal object of th promoter t to get all the money he can from any commun ity that will take hold of his propo sition. It I difficult to find many lo calities which have as many as 100 cows In milk (that many is needed to. make a creamery profitable), but thla does not stop the promoter one minute. Some of the plants built this year have from 75 to 100 cows for support, sending from 600 to 800 pounds of milk per day, yielding about nrty pounds of butter dally. "The promoter Is quite willing to spend his valuable time canvassing among the farmers, securing sub scriptions to stock of the creamery. which later tarn out te be a promis' sory note for hard cash at the bank.

They invariably put In more machinery than the plant needs and rate It t prjens nearly double the ectua,A-cata lorue price. For example. In. a. cream ery recently built the building and grounds are worth only $2,400, yet the stockholders are - under contract to pay t,tS0 for this little outfit. A new creamery with a better building and a somewhat mora expensive plot of ground could be erected for about IS, 500, yet the price set by the pro moter IS 10,000. - "Another ingenious method of part Ing the stockholder from their mon ey is to assure them that a butter maker 'from the Elgin district Is -ab solutely necessary. 'So they. end down a high priced man costing froraij 7i to iioo a montn to max 76 or 100 pounds of butter a day, when he could Just as well moke 100 pound.
