CHICAGO Oct. .TO. Husiniss in
politics! In the final analysis of the
term, what does It mean?
The average American is under the
Impression a political candidate of
ferlng to Rive, if elected, "a business
administration." Is promising some
thing equivalent to economy in pub
lic expenditure.
Here in Chicago, however, the peo
ple NOW have a different idea of
the meaning of the word. It Is due to
the fact that in this city politics is
on a strictly "business" basis. The
board of review, for Instance, is one
of the best Illustrations of the te rm,
"business in politics," to bp found
in the entire United States. If you
have never heard of the Cook coun
ty board of revjew. your political
education has been sadly neglected.
The board of review is the su
preme taxing body in Chicago, and
its infiuerice in Cook county is al
most immeasurable. H was intend
ed, as its name indicates, to be a
board of review of the assessments
made by the board of assessors. But
a "tf tnatter of practice. ;f-3 bnord
of assessors are mere ( lerk.. The
board of review fixes the taxes on
all properly, raising here and low
ering there, as suits ils purpose or
pleasure. It has enormous powers,
and this will be an account of its
influence in only one direction upon
the coal trade in Chicago. Its

before. Ho forcibly pictured the situ
ation of defendant when the latter as
policeman of Ulack Mountain town
was culled to tho hotel by tho pro
prietor to suppress disorder created
by Hunting and Collins who had been
drinking, and by analysis of evidence
sought to show that Watklns' state
ment that the men had attacked him
and forced him to his knees In
dark room was true, and that being
In reasonable fear of death or Kireat
bodily hurm he was entirely Justified
In shooting:. Tho speaker descried the
language witnesses had said the men
iiHeil, iih being delivered In the hear
ing of lailles and getitlomen and as
being the foulest Imaginable, and said
that while, this did not justify their
being shot, ho would say that If men
had used such language lu a hotel in
Wilmington where Hunting lived
they would have been tarred and
feathered. The speech, It Is perhaps
nccdicHA to say, was of a high deffree
of elo(iience, sornu bidlevInK It was

COTTON FAMINE LIKELY
Senator Smith Advises
Southern Farmers to Hold
Their Cotton.
I'l.OHKNcE, H. C Oct. 30. Unit
ed States Senator K. O. Hmlth Is in re
ceipt of a letter from Statist lean It.
L. Neal, with advance sheets of a
circular to be sent out, showing that
arter a trip over the Kouth tho most
. ireful estimates of the cotton crop
this year Indicates a possible crop
of 1 0,530,000 bales, agreeing with a
recent estimate Issued by Senator
Smith.
From exporters Senator Hmlth
learns thai It Is exported If the gov
ernment report Issued next week on
cotton confirms private advices, cot
ton will be bound to reach famine
prices. Speaking of the curtailment
of production by the mills tho sena
tor today said:
"The curtailment by the mills Is
not because of tho high prlco of the
staple nor the depression in the price
of goods, but becausii the spinners see
that there Is not going to be cotton
enough to keep the mills busy until
the next crop and a shutting down
Is inevitable. They make a conven
ience of m-cesslty now In tho hope
such action will depress cotton, while
they buy greedily wherever they
can, despite their agreement.
"Tho farmers now have an oppor
tunity to see how corporations stick
to their organization when business
interests demand individual action.
Just as was the case with the farmer
when he rushed his cotton to mar
ket, to their amusement, despite the
farmers organisation.
"This Is now the farmers' day,,
thank Ood."
