THE BUMPER COTTON CROP
Thetelegraphlo news from all por
tloni of the South, bring newi of
meeting bj the ootton growers.mer.
chanti and bankers who are in ijm
pathj with the movement to hold
the surplus crop of cotton for higher
prices and to curtail the cotton acre
age this year. The farmers appear
to be dead In earnest about it and
the lit nation develops the fact that
In the various States the cotton
planters generally appear to be lnde
pendent and In a position to enable
thorn to hold their surplus cotton.
However, it appears that most of the
cotton has passed from the hands of
the producers Into the hands of mer
chants who bought it or accepted it
for the obligations of planters at the
high prices which prevailed in the
early part of the cotton marketing
season. The merchants, therefore,
will bear the principal burden of
holding the ootton and generally
they are able to "hold the bag," lit
erally speaking.
The Stab has all along held that
even a 13,000,000 bale crop is not
more than the spinners of the world
require, in addition to the foreign
grown supply, and the New York
Times of Tuesday contains , similar
views along that line. Says the
Times:
"In view of the efforts which are
making in every part of the world
offering the slightest promise of
success in cotton growing to estab
lish this industry on a scale which
will render the manufacturers of
Europe independent of American
supplies, and that these efforts are
encouraged and sustained by gen
erous governmental assistance, the
Southern planter should rejoice in a
crop which establishes the fact that
that the world's present needs in
cotton can be supplied from this
country at a price placing competi
tion established under less favor
able natural conditions at a dlsad
vantage so great ' that most of the
experiment stations will be aban
doned or developed along other
lines. As a matter of fact, there is
no over-production of cotton. The
..world's requirements are something
like three and a half millions of
bales beyond the maximum sup
ply available from this coun
try, and, as Secretary Wilson
has. explained, the causes which
made the crop this year abnormally
large will probably operate to make
that of next year only normal or less
than normal. This year's picking
shows that the causes which Mr.
Sully made much of as tending to
deprive this country of the ability
to meet the normal requirements of
consumption, and which greatly en
coaraged foreign competition in
cotton growing, are relatively negli
gible factors in the equation. The
13,000,C00 bale crop, even at pres
ent prices, means a vast cash return
to the South and new opportunities
for its cotton mills In conquering
foreign markets, .and the net result
might very well be such an increase
in consumption that cotton would
not have to be burned to sustain its
price."
Of course that idea about burn
ing cotton to reduce the-supply has
nothing to do with the situation at
- all. The sum total of bales burned
to date is ten, so that the sporadic
burning spectacles are not to be con
sidered otherwise than absurd.
The real movement to control the
situation will be developed at New

COMPULSORY 8HIPPIHO IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
The New York Tribune, an able
Republican paper of the "stand
pat" variety, has this to say:
"Unless the sugar and tobacco
interests which oppose any reduc
tion of the duties on imports from
tho Philippines show a readiness
within a reasonable time to come to
some fair basis of agreement for the
opening np of a market for Philip
pine produce, it might perhaps be
well for Secretary Taft to recede
from his plan to give special consid
eration to the sugar and tobacco in
dustries by maintaining 25 per cent,
or even 50 per cent, of the Dlngley
duties on sugar and tobacco, while
establishing free trade in everything
else. Development in Philippine
commerce is so Important, trade
concession to equalize the burden
placed on the Philippines by confin
frta their tr&nsDacifio commerce to
American vessels is so manifestly de
mandeded by every consideration of
justice, that, if they cannot be had
on a basis of conciliation to the to
bacco and sngar people, they should
be had without it."
So the Tribune wants to defy the
protected interests which believe
their interests will be affected by the
proposed concession in the tariff to
Philippine tobacco and sugar. We
are not saying that it would not be
just and reasonable to allow the
Philippines this concession but with
Federal laws waking it compulsory
for Philippine products to be carried
in American shij. would not the
""concession help the ship-owners
more than It would the Filipinos ?
Would not the Filipinos bo at the
mercy of the American ship-owners,
and would not the ship-owners get
the real plum ?
Tariff coocessions to the Philip
pines might benefit them if they
could have the right to ship by the
ressel that carries thMr products
cheapest, but if they haven't got free
shipping where would they stand
la the matter?
'1 ) Tribune notes that 7he com-
ppmg is a "burden and
gives that as the reason for "trade
concession to equalize the burden."
Truly the Philippines appear to be
In the hands of a shipping trust es
tablished by the government.
THE EXPLORATION OF HERCU
XAHXTJlf. A few days ago the press dis
patches from Washington announc
ed that President Roosevelt would
take a conspicuous part in the
movement for the thorough explor
ation of the long buried city of Her
culaneum, which has been beneath
its bed of ashes for two thousand
years.
The New York Worlifremarks in
this connection that if Newport
were suddenly burled eighty feet
deep in mud and were excavated
2.C00 years hence, what a find it
would be for the antlquariansl The
city of Hercnlaneum, where the
millionaires of Borne had their
country palaoes, was buried in mud
by the eruption of Vesuvius in the
year 79 A. D., and now it is to be
dug up and its treasurers of art and
the libraries of Its rich are to be re
covered for the use of the whole
world.
Une of the buried city's palacies
has been explored already, and what
It yielded, which may now be seen
in the museums and libraries of
Italy, is of such enormous artistic
and literary value that the whole
world of learning is eagerly looking
forward to the completion of the
work. The Kings of Italy and Eng
land, the German Emperor, and the
Presidents of the United States and
France, are giving the work their
active support. Prof. Waldstein, of
Cambridge University, is here sow
trying to induce the rich men of
this country to join those of Eu
rope in raising the enormous sum of
money that is necessary for the ex
cavation, i
Those who are giving of time and
money do so from no hope of pecu
niary benefit, for none is possible;
they are actuated solely by desire to
restore to the world some of its
buried treasures of art and liter
ature. In the ruins of Hercnlaneum,
The World states, are manuscripts
that may contain the long-lost writ
ings of Sappho, Menandor, Aeschy
lus, and documents perhaps that
will throw light npon the first days
of Christianity.
Baltimore the past year main

Captain David 15. Mulliken is
being court martialed at Chicago
for deserting his wife a twenty-
year old Filipino girl, who proves
that the captain married her in
Negros Island. When the court
asked Mulliken if he was married or
single, he answered that he didn't
know. A man with that kind of a
memory is liable to have more wives
