A VAIN HOPE.
To one who has watched with
interest the fight between the
consumers or buyers of cotton
and the growers in the stand
the latter took for a minimum
price of fifteen cents a pound
for their crop, it begins to ap-
pear that the buyers have, by
long odds, the best chance to
win. This conclusion is arrived
at for the following reasons.
Throughout the cotton-growing
belt prospectare very favorable
for the planting of as much or
more acreage as was put in last
year, and the planting will be-
gin within a few weeks, and
reports froai various sections
show that not less will be plant-
ed this year than was put in
last year. In tfce union ware-
bouses of the country are tens
of thousands of bales of cotton
grown the past season that re-
main unsold and that today will
not bring as much as tbey
would if sold six months ago.
In the manufacturing centers
wages of employes have been
cut and in some places mills
shut down. This means that
the spinners have decided to
wait until tbc next crop is in
sight before they invest, when
with a big hold-over supply on
hand and possibly a good crop
in 'sight tbey can buy even
cheaper than present quotations.
One thing seems to be settled,
and that is that tbey will never
pay fifteen cents a pound for
cotton, ft was a gallant fight,
but tbc long-headed man knows
when be has lost, and it occurs
to the Nkws-Chkonicí.k, that the
farmer with business instinct
will sell for tbe best price be
can get, pay for his experience
and do the best be can during
tbe coming season, devoting
less acres to cotton and more to
other crops. This is not ad-
vice, but merely the observation?
of an unprejudiced onlooker.
that prompts one to criticise.
Tbe basic principle of republics
are the rights of the individual.
One thing that has added to tbe
perpetuity of tbe so-called Bailey
question has been tbe accusa-
tions that all bis opponents were
guided by bate for tbe man.
This theory will not bsld good
among enough people to cause
more than passing notice. In
opposition to tbe measures in-
volved tbe man has been lost
sight of. This fight would bave
been waged as thoroughly
against any other man. It is
true that Bailey bas worn gum
shoes with regard to some of
our public men, among whom
we might mention Bryan and
Hogg, but we delegate this
right to aoy man. Had Bailey
courted investigation of bis ac-
tions instead of muddying tbe
waters, he would bave escaped
tbe accusations of many bonest
men. His greatest opportunity
came when be could bave with-
held his name from tbe legisla-
ture until the question of his
fitness for the office had been
proven. Did he do it? At the
time of the primary election it
was not generally known that
be bad secured money from
Pierce. No one knows this
more fully than Bailey. Tbe
opinion of a great many honest
people in Texas is that Bailey
is an imposition. Whether tbey
constitute a majority or not we
do not know, but this we will
venture—Bailey's political path
will be strewn with thorns,
under tbe present status of af-
fairs, and tbe division in tbe
ranks that it bas produced
is not apt to redound to the
public weal.

Why is a man necessarily an

does not agree with bis views?
Is be tbe personification of all
tbe elementary constituents of
tbe political situation as it should

papers it is nothing short of
bereny to disagree with bis
views. We bold this to be
