Fire losses in Texas cost nineteen
lives in March. Where is that safety
first ?
Senator Capper has attacked the
saturnalia of greed known as the high
cost of living.
Politics has about reached the zero
.hour in this country, just before mak-
ing a big drive.
One big union is the plea of the
premier of Italy—conqueror and con-
quered must bo made one.
One of the hardest statements that
can be politely made about some
things is that they are "legitimate."
th«r« Is little doubt but that the
Italians would want ta occupy the
town unless ths Independence and
territorial Integrity of the email states
are amply guaranteed.
But such possibilities arise In the
minds only of those who view the
future with a feeling of fear and
doubt. If the reported settlement of
the Flume controversy holds good
and Is finally accepted by all coun-
tries, It will constitute a victory for
President Wilson; for the plan of
settlement Is much In line with that
which he originally proposed at the
peace conference. The most import-
ant thing, so far as Fiume itself is
now concerned, is that the little buffer
state shall have its neutrality guaran
teed, and that is amply provided for
in the League of Nations if the lead-
ing powers will accept the league
wholeheartedly. If the league plan
is not accepted in the best of faith,
then Fiume cannot hope to be free
of invading forces in the event a war
of any consequence breaks out in any
of the countries touching the Adriatic.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAX
Expense has three strings and the
profiteer plays upon them all with
ease, increase in price, decrease in
quantity and decrease of quality.
The music of the mart, under pres-
ent high prices, is of only two kinds,
either the jazzy variety in the key of
"A-Sharp" or the doleful kind in
"B-Flat."
The south wind seems unable to
blow up anything but a retaliating
north wind. It is the time of the year
when northers usually give place to
spring showers, but this year insists
upon being a little bit unusual.
THE REPUDIATION OF REED.
In order that the national adminis-
tration might save its face, it was al-
most necessary that the democratic
party in Missouri to repudiate the ac-
tion of Senator Reed in attacking al-
most everything proposed by the pres-
ident. In denying the senator his
place as delegate to the San Fran-
cisco convention by a vote of 1,070 to
490, the Missouri state convention vin-
dicated the national administration
with a vengeance, for the rebuke given
the senator constitutes one of the sev-
erest lambastings that any candidate
has received in years.
Senator Reed has been decidedly
radical and at times unfair in its
course in the senate, and often he has
seemed to be more republican than
democrat. If his defeat had meant
nothing to the administration the con-
vention still would have been Justified
In rebuking him, for he has fought
for few, if any, of the things mapped
•ut in the national party platform
Adopted at St. Louis four years ago.
The convention vote, however,
ought to make him stop and think. It
ought to cause him to remember that
he is supposed to represent the peo-
ple of Missouri, not mould the senti-
ment of the people of the country. It
would be too much to hope, however,
that such will be the case.
THE FIl'ME SETTLEMENT.
f There have been so many reports of
a successful settlement of the Adriatic
Issues and all of them have so quickly
proved premature that one is inclined
to accept with reservations the latest
statement given out to the effect that
the Italians and the Jugo-Slavs have
eccepted President Wilson's solution
of the controversy.
According to the latest dispatches
from Europe, Fiume is to be made a
buffer state and a plebiscite is to be
held In the adjoining territory of
Legosta to determine whether that
section shall belong to Fiume, Jugo-
slavia or Italy. It Is presumed that
this agreement will be acceptable to
Great Britain and Francc.
i Fiume can never amount to much
as a state, but It has been sought
vigorously by Italy and has been
claimed just as vigorously by Jugo-
buffer state, it will occupy a position
event of another war will run the risk
With Germany. If Italy could havt

American Taste.
American taste, as manifested In
homes and home decoration, is on the
decline, according to some officers
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
who discussed the subject with a
representative of the New York
Times. One of the officers was so
confident of his knowledge of the his-
tory of American taste that he made
a graphic chart 100 per cent, high and
120 years long—from 1800 to 1920—
and showed that from 1800 to 1870
the standard of American taste drop-
ped from 100 to ten, the lowest point
in the entire period. About 1870 a
change fur the better was noted, the
cause being the influence of the Mor-
ris movement on America, but the rise
was hardly appreciable until the Co-
lumbian exposition, after which it
rose rapidly until 1914, where it re-
mained stationary for a time. In the
last three years it has dropped back
te sixty, or to the standard of 1835.
One of the reasons for this decline
is the furniture shortage. Before the
war furniture makers found it diffi-
cult to keep up with the standard of
public taste. They caused designers
to be expensively educated, and en-
couraged craftsmen to acquire the
highest skill. They had to do it to get
the business. Now, however, there Is
a tremendous demand for furniture—
any kind of furniture—and the eager
buyers can not wait for furniture to
be made according to the pre-war
standards, but must have It right
away, regardless of the makers' wifh
to protect his reputation and preserve
the craft pride of his men.
The standard has shown a post-war
tendency to drop to the level of the
new millionaires, a natOral and by no
means unexpected slump. After the
civil war came the cast-iron lawn zoo.
The 1,800 American millionaires and
many near-millionaires produced by
the world war seem to run to hotel
furnishings for dwellings. They have
ag yet not gained access to homes ex-
hibiting an appreciation of the best
standard of American taste, and they
have been so busy making money that
their personal standards are untrust-
worthy. It is this aping of the hotels
that accounts for much of the decline,
but the cantonment buildings, the
munitions makers and the other swol-
len gentry have the mqney, and if
properly managed by the people who
know, can be depended upon to re-
store the standard of former times.—

LONG STAPLE.
A Georgetown dispatch published in
a recent issue of the Telegram tells
about a sale of 300 bushels of Lone
Star long staple cotton seed by Cotton
Classer Taylor to Travis county farm-
ers bearing the ginner's certificate as
to their purity. The seed were saved
from cotton sold for 47 cents per
pound.
"In addition to supplying a growing
home demand, Williamson county has
done a large business this 'spring In
the sale of pure long staple _ cotton
seed to various counties over the state,
and the demand continues."
The 1919 cotton crop in this section
was, generally speaking, of poor grade
hut very good staple. This was par-
tially due at least to the amount of
rainfall during the cotton growing
period. But the good prices received
were not traceable to the rain for
here are these Williamson county
farmers who received as high a~s 47
cents for their cotton while their
neighbors without the same rain re-
ceived from 40 to 45? Why? Like
the "Arkansawyer's" corn, they
planted the long staple kind.
The added two, three or five cents
received for longer staple is worth
more to the farmer than the first five
cents ordinarily received for that'must
go to help pay for production, but it
cost no more to produce the long
staple so the last 6 cents is all velvet.
If a skilled worker develops a sys-
tem to increase his capacity and
thereby increases his salary, does any
one think the matter will end there?
Certainly not, that will be the least
part of it for he will sell his system
to others at a greater profit than the
increase of his own salary amounted
to.
The farmer who becomes a pioneer
in progressive methods that pay divi-
dends will not only reap the dividends
but he will sell his seed to others for
a good profit. Three dollars per
bushel is something like $185 per ton,
considerably above the market price
for ordinary seed.

Troubles Continue
Over Rent Houses
Boston, April 25.—Massachusetts
has not yet been able to make up for
its shortage of homes and keep rents
from sky-rocketing. A state commis-
sion on the Necessaries of Life Is
struggling with the problem, but
meanwhile tenants In this city and
elsewhere have obtained little relief.
Several tent groups recently refused
to pay advances In rent demanded of
them and by joint action avoided
eviction wljich would have been legal
upon thirty days' notice.
Two hundred tenants at Revere have
formed a corporation known as the
Tenants' League to combat rent in-
creases and have announced that they
will tolerate no more advances in
rent and requested aid from the city's
local department. The issue there is
still in doubt.
An attempt to solve the problem by
arbitration has been made In Brock-
ton, a shoe manufacturing center. A
board composed of two tenants, two
landlords and a fifth member to be
selected by the others is to decide
whether rents have been unduly ad-
vanced when disputes arise between
landlords and tenants.
The Commission on the Necessaries
of Life has investigated the housing
and rent problems and has contribut-
ed a number of suggestions for their
solution, butyls yet has made no for-
mal report It has urged the cities
to form housing corporations and
take over and improve abandoned
tenements by worklngmen who had
moved to better ones. The Commis-
sion found there were t.000 tene-
ments which were unoccupied because
the landlords would not remodel them
so as to make them fit for occupancy.
At the suggestion of the Cpmrnls
slon a bill has been Introduced into
the legislature that would limit the
return from investments in dwelling
houses to eight per cent The pur-
pose of it is to prevent speculation in
homes. The commissioners found
that many builders had Stopped con-
struction because of the high coat of
labor and materials and had gone to
■peculating in real estate. Ths result
was that frequent sales of property
were followed by advances in rent
In many cases tenants were forced out
of their homeg so that the landlords
might demand higher rates from new
occupants. Massachusetts' corpora-
tions have attempted to relieve the
housing shortage by erecting com-
munity houses. Whole villages of at-
tractive houses are being erected in
New Bedford, Lawrence, Lowell and
other mill cities, and will be rented or
sold to employes on easy terms.
Bankers Abandon Plan
for Visit in Havana
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Dallas, Texas, April 24. — The
planned visit to Vavana by members
of the Texas Bankers' association
early in May has been abandoned be-
cause of the strike of longshoremen
at the Cuban city and needed repairs
to the Spanish Liner Infanta Isa-
bel, which has been tentatively char-
tered for the occasion. The trip was
to have been immediately following
the association's annual meeting in
Galveston the first week in May. Dates
for the convention have been changed
to May 25, 26 and 27.
In making the announcement, W.
A. Philpott Jr., secretary of the Texas
Bankers association, said approxi-
mately 1,000 bankers, some with
their families, had booked for the
voyage and a one week stay In Ha-
vana. The association, Mr. Philpott
said, had completed its part of the
arrangements and held $140,000 in
bankers' checks to cover expenses of
the trip when owners of the Infanta
Isabel reported the ship was not in
condition to attempt the voyage. The
longshoremen also added to the dif-
ficulties encountered, he said.
Horses Refuse to
Co to Night Fires
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Clinton, Mass., April 24.—"Betty"
and "Billy" have gone back to the
farm, and Clinton's fire department
has returned to its motorized effi-
ciency. An upstanding pair of browns,
the horses were the pride of the fire
fighters, until they became the cause
of their disgrace.
Sleek and fstt from a farm fti an
adjoining town, they were obtained
to pull the town's old fire engine
while the new motor apparatus was
being repaired. The browns swept
out of the engine house to their first
fire In a manner to make old firemen
speak with happy reminiscence of the
horse-drawn days. Then came a
night alarm.
Back on the farm, "Betty" and
"Billy" had been accustomed not to
stir from sundown to sunrise, and
no din of fire .gong or urging by
anxious firemen would move them to
answer the alarm. All the fire de-
partment's split-second aids to a
quick start were lost on the browns.
They refused to budge, the firemen
had to go to the blaze with chemical
lin^s, and the town folks laughed.
The firemen vowed the thing would
not happen again and the horses were
put through a stiff training. They
went to the day fires with spirit, and
the fire crew hoped they understood.
But another night alarm came, and
again "Betty" and "Billy" would not
move; once more the firemen went
afoot, hose In hand, and again the
town laughed at their discomfiture.
The next day "Betty" and "Billy"
went back to the farm.

NEW ORLEANS SUMMARY GIVES

Crop Reports and Fresh Selling For
Short Account Responsible for
Trend.
New Orleans, La., April Ths general

Interest and fresh selling for short account,
based mainly on ths Idea that • prolonged
reaction from ths advanoa waa dus, al-
though heavy selling appeared at times
particularly at ths middle of ths week In
sympathy with unfavorable developments In
the monsy market. The lowest levels were
reached on the closing session. Last prices
showsd net losses for the week of 215 to 255
points.
Ths market moved over a range to 254
to 199 points. In the spot department mid-
dling closed at 41.00; showing a net loss of
TS points.
On several occasions ths market recovered
strongly from the decline on unfavorable re-
ports from the new crop, the weather being
too cold over the greater part of the belt
while too much rain fell in the central and
eastern sections and not enough in the west-
ern, ths drouth over Texas and Oklahoma
being described as serious by some crop ob-
servers. On the week end there was heavy
selling on the prospects of the drouth being
relieved.
Thie week It probably will be a weather
market more than anything else, although
financial conditions are claiming a good deal
of attention from most traders.

the unsettled financial conditions and con-

Is a softening tendency in some of the wide
prints and cloths and agents for sheeting
mills are better disposed toward submitting
offers a little under market to their mills.

cottons for suits as a protest against the
high coats of other goods has led to a etif-

While many buyers are resisting the high
prices, others are in actual need of mer-
chandise to fill orders or keep factories go-
ing and many are still putting in mill or-
ders.

and shirtings are being ordered. Owing to
the poor deliveries being made, spot goods
