The Kind You Have Alway Bought Bears the Signature of RESULTS TO FOLLOW COTTON LEAK. The Trade Take Different Views as to Out come -Opinions of New York Papers. (Cotton Trade Journal. Savannah, Ga.) Since the disclosures of irreg ularities in the Covernment cot ton crop service have been made, the effect, present and prospec tive, is being discussed by the press generally. Without excep tion the irregularities are strong ly condemned. In some cases remedial measures are suggested while in others the outright abolition of the Government cot ton crop reporting service is advanced. It is - plain the first course is the proper and the lat ter a radical view of an unfor tunate situation. The more conservative of the trade properly take the position that the continuation of the service will be for the general good of the industry and that the remedy is not in its abolition but in a re-organization of the agicultural department having this cotton crop service in hand. President Roosevelt seems disposed to take an active hand in punishing those guilty of ir regularities at Washington and the belief is that he will even go further and demand that the de partment be thoroughly purged of all "leaky" material. Think ing men look upon the depart ment as a most useful source of information for the cotton trade and do not conclude it proper to abolish it because of flaws in the service which can be easily over come by intelligent management. A few prominent men in the New York cotton trade appear, from the daily press accounts, slightly uneasy, owing to re ported intention of keeping the secret service men at work. The impression now is that other things in connection with this affair are to be uncovered, and meantime, the trade await results with interest. Below we give extracts from New York papers on the cotton leak: THE COTTON REPORT LEAK. (Froni.New York Sun.) Secretary Wilson of the De partment of Agriculture refused to believe that there was any truth in the charges against the Bureau of Statistics when they were first called to his attention. The system of handling the cot ton report made manipulation or the obtaining of advance infore mation impossible, it was said, and the Southern Cotton Grow ers' Association, which formu lated the accusations, was looked upon as an association bent on airing an unfounded grievance. But it turns out that the associa tion was right, and the Depart ment of Agriculture was shelter ing an ugly scandal. Mr. Wilson unquestionably feels that he was justified in placing implicit confidence in Mr. Hyde, the chief statistician, and Holmes, the speculative sub ordinate, was trusted completely, in spite of the fact that his man ner of life was extravagantly out of proportion to his salary. Mr. Wilson, in fact, can do little else than trust his subordinates im plicitly. His Department in cludes many bureaus that no layman could manage or under stand. A good man placed at the head of one of them will not stay long if he is treated like a scoundrel, and a scoundrel, even though watched closely, will find opportunity to use his posi tion for his own ends. Many persons regard the crop reporting activities of the Gov ernment as scarcely necessary or legitiiate. Were it to retire from the field, private agencies would take up the work and pe.r form it satisfactorily. The Gov emnent entered upon it in re sponse to the cry "Do something for the farmer!" It is safe to say the speculators have been benefited more than the farmers by the Government reports. Wheat would still be wheat and cotton cotton if there were no Bureau of Statistics in Washing ton, and the farmer is not such a fool as some politicians describe him. The discovery of this serious breach of confidence what was supposed to be a particularly honest and trustworthy bureau, it may be added, is not exactly a strong argument in favor of in creasing the commercial activi ties indulged in by the Govern ment. GOVERNMENT CROP REPORTS. (From N. Y. Evening Mail.) Secretary Wilson made the same mistake with regard to the statistical branch of the Depart ment of Agriculture that was made not so very long ago in the Postotfice Department. An hon orable man himself, and ignorant that any one was doing wrong in the department, he declared that everything was open anid above board, and stoutly main tained that any dishonest leak ing of crop statistics, in cotton or anything else, was out of the question. It looked that way to him. But all the time one em ployee, or more, was peddling ou 1to parties in this city ad vance information concerning the cotton reports, and getting rich out of the business. The first thing to be done in the case is to find out who took and gave the bribes that opened this leak and kept it open, and punish them fitly. The prison bars -should close behind all of these guilty men, bribers and bribed, whoever they are. At this moment no one knows just how many such there are. The "statistician" Holmes, who has been kicked out, did not swing this corruption all alone. It does not appear, however, that it went any higher in the depait The next thing to be done is to take account of stock of the whole crop reportin3g business, and see whether the amount of; solid information that the people of the country gain from it is wort-h the expense of it. and the continual friction and scandal arising from inevitable error as well as from the possibility of a speculative use of the figures. Even now rather more depend ence is placed in certain private crop reports than on the gov ernment's in one or two fields of research. Private reports are taken for what they are worth, and sometimes they are, by rea son of long reputation worth a good deal. Government reports have been taken for gospel more than they will be hereafter: and the fact that they have had offi cial sanction has created a chance for just such crookedness as has been developed in connection with the cotton crop statistics. A very severe blow has been dealt the reputation of the gov ernment reports by these reve lations. It will take them some time to recover from it. even if they have not dealt an irrepara ble blow to the whole system of official estimates. ARE CROP REPORTS WORTH LESS ? (From N. Y. Times.) Washington dispatches warn us'to expect an agitation for the discontinuance of Government cotton reports. This would be a singular sequel to the current flurry in cotton options. Miss Giles-the lady with the pres tige of Department training thinks the crop outlook has de teriorated 3 per cent. The Jour nal of Commerce thinks the crop outlook has improved 3 per cent. The interest is general, as it ought to be, for the authorities are excellent, but it cannot be said that even the cotton world dropped so much as one heart beat at these, announcements. Then comes the Department and reports that the condition of the plant has altered 0.2, andthere is a panic among the bears. The sequel, we are told, is that the reports are to be discontinued from disgust at their inaccuracy. How does anybody know that they are inaccurate? And is it not a fair inference that if the cotton world is convulsed by that fraction of 1 per cent. it is proof that whatever the faults of the Department reports they are the most highly valued, and their abolishment would leave a void not to be filled by any unofficial substitute? It must be admitted that the Department does not shine by comparison, Its facilities are superior to those at the com mand of .any private individual. and the results are not half as good. Naturally many cry in wrath, "away with it!" Let the Government count, they say, as the Census Bureau does, but let it do no more. Let us know how many acres there are under cul tivation, or how many bales are ginned. Those are facts capable of accurate ascertainment, and there a line should be drawn. The weather cannot be translated into adjectives capable of convey ing the same idea to everybody or giving correct ideas to any body. The same is true of word pictures of plant conditions. Mathematical expressions of such things are impracticable. Ten equally excellent observers. set to describe the same field would not use the same words. What folly to expect anything like uniformity or accuracy from thousands of scattered observers describmng things as they see them over millions of acres This is the indictment merely. But a uniform underestimate running through a series of years must have an explanation other than fraud or incapacity. The truth is that the discrepancy is between dissimilar things. The indicated crop is the crop grown. The commercial crop is the crop sold. The crops which come out of the ground and crops which go to market are different quantities, and agree ment should not be expected. The discrepancy is likely rather to grow than to decline. Only in their poverty did the planters sell to the first buyer upon his own terms. Year by year, with growing wealth aiid banking facilities, they will be slower sellers, and crops will fade into each other so that ~they cannot be separated. Reserves in plant ers hands are an uncertain quan tity, especially in "hold your cotton" years. To these financial considerations must be added those of the weather. Always some cotton is marketed before September 1st. Between an early or drought-shortened crop and a late wet cr p there may easily enough difference on on this head alco.e of a quarter of a million bales, and nobody at all to blame. The department has much to be blamed for, but it ought to be blamed for noth ing but its faults. If the reports can be improved. very well. No body will disagree about that. But there are two sides to hasty and angry proposals to abolish the reports. Cholera Infantum. Child Not Expected to Live from One Hour to Another, but Cured by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Ruth, the little daughter of E. N.
