Even this is les> of an exnensc I ban ii ( i in.-. of those periods, and Mr, Bryan the interpreter of its emotion. The pe riod of practical, constnuj^ve states manship will come later, when those of us who understand only “safe and sane’’ methods in government will be at home again, and Mr. Bryan will be a saint in the political calen dar. But there is no question that the transcendentalism of Mr. Bryan has a powt^ful hold upon the minds of the people today, and it is useless do rail against it all and to a^use Mr. Bryan as a slave driver of democra cy. “Mr. Bryan has i>orsisted as the central figure of the Democratic that the Nebraskan has fairly won the nomihationwKich will be his by tarnation at Denver. He has no federal patronage, he has no great campaign fund, he isi not a rich , although he is very comforta bly provided for. Whence comes s supremacy in the party except through the power of an idea? The idea may not be particularly attrac tive tq, old fashioned Democrats. We confess that we have never been under its spell. But its presence and force is no„t to be denied. It is a real, living factox, Mr. Bryan is more of an eyangclist than a states man, and the American people are more inclined at the present time to evangelism than to statecraft.

It is almost, perhaps quite, impossible for thejxumani mind to conceive three billion dol lars, yet this inconceivable sum has been poured into the lap of this na tion by. the Southern cotton-grow ers, Within five years, from the staple of their fields. To this three billions must be added some 000,000 realized from the sale of cotton-seed products in the same period. We can betfer appreciate this by remembering that previously it took ten cotton crops to approxi mate this vast tribute. The uevel- proir! of the great crops that are being i used this year on the farms? ,, Of cu.

It is strange that one -k such a question, ops are bumper ones this They will surpass those of several millions in value. **rop last year was no small o -riainly not to be ashamed of. In i» he world there is no coun- try v re such great, varied and valuat crops are produced as on the A .eri^hn farmers. Markets are n .,*• every acre of this land.

It hasj no tb. >'d for a e-nt less than what brought prosperity and opportunity to the Soulh. Even if we did not reckon the lint at all, the value, .oi the cotton seed would still make cotton a notable crop; but when we add the oil and the cotton seed meal to the lint, in which the world clothes it self, we have a grandpor- duct of our fertile soil and fe’cudn air that means the continued and the greatly increased prosperity of this j ectioir. Persons "thatTtttfk and write of cotton are often inclined to ignore the by-products of the fielde. A! it con >i he sold for farther away; or puttiii;’ it in another way, nothing wilt lx- .'hipped away for fCl-s than it will bring at home. 'In other words, good prices will prevail ev erywhere.

The Cotton Cmp. The influence of the cotton crop of America upon the world’s com merce does not decline. On the contrary, every year it becomes more manifest. The production of cottpn is studied with greater care every year. The different expert ment stations and the government bureau at Washington are now able to state conclusions bated on expert iments which are of great value to the cotton planter. At this time the chief interest seems to center in the eed■Selection and in the better treat- unent of the soil. The correspondents of Horne and Farm will have much to say of interest on these points. The insect enemies of the cotton plant are best met in the se lection of the seed and in the prepa ration of‘he soil ami in the early ieve lop ment of the plant. The early cot b n eccepes the I oil weevil to a large extent. In a recent bulletin published by the Agricnhural Department at Washington it is said the expense for picking the cotton is the largest item in the cost oj production.

Post . The Power of Mryan. The Charleston., Evening says: “And there is North Carolina in the Bryan column, after all the boasts of the opposition that the State would have nothing to do with the Nebraskan. Apd Senator Simmons, who is tlwMAvief anti-Bry- anite among the Tarheels, had to-accounts still, run the gauntlet of the convention in order to get a place on the in- stracted delegation to Denver. The Charlotte Observer was prepared for this before some others. A week before the State convention met in Charlotte, The Observer, predicting a declaration for Brvan, said; “Since North Carolina can not swing the. Bryan owned party, the Bryan-own ed party will be likely to swing North Carolina. The convention in this State comes even lafer than Virginia’s and events elsewhere have likewise almost predetermined its action, Emancipation of the national 4)arty has been visibly de ferred. Why should a few States burden themselves with the future? North Caroima being human, will- mule labor. t presumably get on the band wagon as a matter of course.” It got on-all right, bnt why all this talk about the “Bryan owned” party? Wno gave Mr. Bryan title to the party? Certainly he did not^go into the pol itical market and buy the Democra cy. “Why not be fair to the party quires four pickers to .gather the crop as rapidly as is necessary to prevent loss.
