It ti prolinlile that Peter Radford
might hare Mid the legislature aome
thlnga they didn't know.
South Carolina haa dnne herself
proud la rfultii to alert Cole itlease
to the United States Senate.
Already we are reading talks from
economists about tha Importance of
ratting down the cotton acreage neit
year. It la thie yeare crop wa are
worrying about Juet dow. Unless we
ran aell thla one wa may aot want
rtnr aett yar.
The Fort Worth Record thlnki

neaalon to the 30 day limit. Of courts
they will. They get $6.00 a' day for
It.

dent. Prealdunt Wilson has shown the
ahlpplng trust that he cannot be horn-
awngglM or blandished Into aurren-
ilerlng the American pMple urer to

Flushed by vlrtnry at Kl Paeo Mr.
FergiiMin betrayed a spirit of Rooae-
veltlam and Intimated that If the
Constitution gele In the way of men's
dealrea and ambitions It should be
put anldeand a new one made.
The Ruanian troopi cialm to have

In Austria and tha Germans report
the mptureof 30fo Russians. If
half of the reported captures and
kills are tine the aiipplr of men muat
give out some time.
(treat nil in here of people are min-
ing Into West Texas and many who
have lived here before are coming
bak. They realise that after all
Hrurry rounty will do to tie o. Rea-
lilemea that have atood varan! are
rapidly being taken.
Memphis announcea an Increaae In
lumber freight ratea. People had al-
ready been forred lo let up In build-
ing operatlona and If lumbar li to
go atlll higher people will hive to
forego even contemplated building.
Loral lumber dealers have done all
they ran to lighten tbo burden on
1mm builders.
The National Farmers' Tnlon In
seaalon In Fort Worth resolved to
lak for legislation that will author-
ie the rnlted States government to
loan direct to the farmers three or
four hundred million dollars. That
plan would probably flood the coun-
try with cheap money but the people
generally have been asking for
cheaper money.
The ship merchant boldly asked
the I'ulted States to allow them to
own all the carrying trade on the seas
and charge whatever they pleased
and to Insure cargoea against seliure
by forelxn powers. In order to get
Cong ma in en to aid them they urged
It would be Horlatlsm for the Oov
ernment to undertake Ihe shipping
business and aome of the ronnrnis
men were won over but Mr. Wilson
tod firm and told them If It takes
Socialism or Government ownership
of ahlp H nee to protect the people
against marine extortioners and rob-
bers then let It come.
Th? opinion Is general among bus-
lnas men everywhere that the war
In K u rope must eventually bring
prosperity to the United States. The
rhuttlng down of Raropiaa Indus-
tries will Inereaa. rather than leaa-
en the world's dem.ii.de for food and
clothing. The United States raa
easily be prepared to supply tha de-
mand:. There are vast undeveloped
rtsoureae he- and we have people
who are capable of taking hold of
aurh things and appropriating the
elements that nature ha atored
away.
The Teiaa legislature paved the
way for harmonious compromise by
Inviting both Halley and Ferguson to
address the body then they cleared
the deck for a forensic duel.
The Dallas Newi aaya: "If the war
eh. uld end In four or five months as
most competent crltlri think It will
Ihe movement of cotton to Kurope
during the early months of next year
will be on a scale to make up largely
for the meagernesa of K tiro pea n tak-
ings during the last months of this
year and we ahould enter the next
marketing season with a surplus very
little If any greater than usual. Euro-
pean mill supplies are at a minimum
even now and they must be quite ex-
hausted within three or four months
If the war should last so long. There
will be huge deficits both In raw cot-
ton and In cotton manufactures to
be made up and to make It up wilt re-
l ii I re pretty much the whole of the
available supply unless as eome
think this crop Is to be big beyond
precedent.
f Jrretury McAdoo reiterates the
stftlptnent that there Is and wlft be no
lack of currency to finance all the
leg'tlmale needs of the rountry. Also
he declarea again that the National
banks afford abundance of agencies
through whlcb to distribute the cur-
rency among the farmers who have
t-otton or other crops to offer aa se-
curity for advances made to them.
Mr. McAdoo 'a declaration Is. In effect
that If farmera sacrifice their cotton
It will not be for the lack of currency
nor for the lack or facilities Tor put-
ting It within their reach. Itoth those
propositions It seems to us are ob-
viously true. The government has
done all that It aafely can toward sup
plying currency. There will be no lack
of it; In fact the more likely danger
Is that an overabundance of It will be
laaued that will not only result In sus-
taining the price of col ton but that
will Inflate the prlrei of all thlnga
elae and thua further raise the cost J
of living at a time when It Is Intoler- J
ably high. What la lacking la storage!
room and a system of warehousing
which will Insure the Intently of re
ceipts that are lanued for stored rot-
ton. Put a bale of cotton In a proper-
ly proteited warehauae In control of
an Individual or company whose certi-
ficate commands reaped and there
will be no difficulty of borrowing on
It aa much as prudent hanking per-
mits Dallas News.
The government and the public
jhave done a good aervlce In stand-
ing four square against the traders
who tried to mae profit out of the
foreign war by an unwarranted boost
of prices of neeeailtlei. The consum-
ing public can make those fellows be
good If we atand pat.

second Thoughts In Duel.
In the history of dueling It has sel-
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a
case haa Just occurred at Moscow
where after an altercation In a tramway-car.
a young alaff lieutenant chal-
lenged a retired general of over sixty
to a duel.
The challenge as acrepted and
an encounter with putola was ar-
rnnat d In a wood Whf n the signal
to fire waa given to the great sur-
prise of the seconds neither lennral
nor lieutenant pulhd his trtaser.
The former explained afterwards
that be could not risk destroying a
young life over a trivially while the
lieutenant said that It was Impossible
to Ore upon an opponent who had not
ralifd his arm. Curiously enough no
reconciliation was effected after the
meeting.
V .famines Survive Cooking.
Dr. )jonard Hill the famous Lon-
don phyalrlan contributes to the dis-
cussion on vita mines the assertion
that those contained In wheat are not
destroyed by baking nor are those
that prevent scurvy killed by boiling.
He ssya all the evidence goes to show
that the vttamlnea la milk are unaf-
fected by paeteurliaUos) and that ster-
