Of course, the world is far from being perfect. There arc hundreds of wrongs that ought to bo righted and thousands Of evils that ought to be done away altogether. Mut for all that the fundamental principles of OI K Government arc the .MOST PERFECT ON EAltTH, the opportunities offered to Ol'lt young men and women absolutely beyond comparison with any other In the history of the world. A young man of 2u to 30 years of age who stays in a large city, grubbing away at $l?> or $12 a week, ruining his health, and saving nothing, making no preparations for the future, and Injuring every business prospect by midnight debauchery, has no right to complain at the preferment <>f his fellows. A boy, who stops his schooling at the eighth grade and enters a factory without making the necessary struggle to earn his way higher up, is merely giving additional proof Of his own ignorance when he asserts that he "AIN'T 1IF.1) NO SHOW." If complaining people would (urn their energies and attention to the clarifying of the foul political atmosphere which makes our actual grievances possible, we would approach a thousand years near to Utopia than we would if we should try to REORGANIZE the property basis of society.

WEEKLY REViEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS Condition of the Markets as Told in Dim's Weekly Review of Trade and Finance. The Week. The gains made in recent weeks, ev en If moderate In volumo, have served to strengthen business sentiment, Which, ns llie year draw:-, to a close, is noticeably taking n more cheerful view of the situation, While ii is reC ogni/.ed that business is still in n great transition period, and transition mean change and uncertainty, yet such pro gress has boon made in necessary re adjustments as to impart a bi tter feel ing. Ill dry goods there is further large trading in print cloths, while in cotton and cotton goods generally there is a fair movement, with indica tions of increased orders for forward delivery. The seasonable weather and the approach of the holidays tire im parting activity to retail trade. The Cotton Market. Cotton does not show any definite tendency and fluctuations are small as a rule, moderate profits being taken whenever tin opportunity offers. Trad ing in the early part of this week was 'restricted by the pending revision on spot grades, the changes adopted on Wednesday being considered satisfac tory to all concerned, Other Influenc es about balanced, with prices at the ??lose showing little net alteration. Some firmness r.i the outsel was at tributed largely to reports that the South was in the grip of en unusually cold wave for this season of Ihc year, frost being gen? l in the eastern an 1 central bolt. Pars of damage in Texas were also Inspired by the high winds prevailing in that State, ye; \ there was only a half-hearted respOll 10 1 to these developments, and when lei'ii . poraturos soon climbed upward the I weather bugbear quickly vanished. Many people insist that a record crop : hits already been grown and, while It is admitted that some cotton is being hold back, the movement continues liberal, it is true that the receipts are not equaling previous flgtll'CS, but the total is still aboul 700,000 bales greater than a year ago, although, as an olllset, the exports are also run ning heavy. This steady demand from abroad is a strengthening feature and supplies one tangible bullish argu ment; yet domestic spinners are not buying in any Inrge amounts and lat est available statistics show that the takings of mills here are roughly 100, 000 bales below those for the same period of 1910. The situation in Chi na is still being watched with close attention, Liverpool advising that further large orders for goods from thnt country have been cancelled. Next week the Census Bureau will Is sue its returns showing the quantity of cotton ginned prior to November 14. and current estimates place the figures at around 11,600,000 bales or more than 820.000 bales above the pre vious high record up to the same date in 1904. ****??*****?*<? White and Colored Population. The census shows for the South? not counting Missouri a while imp utation of 20,517,573 a gain of 4, 025.003, or 24.3?) |>er cent sinee 1000. Ut'ing the same period iho negro pop ulation of tl;ese states increased from 7,922,G90 to S.719,390- a gnin of S2G, 121, or only 10,43 per cent. Prom this it would appear that the nnthrnl gain in the negro population was less than half as great as that of Whites, but other things are to 1)0 considered. The UCgl'O population Ol the balance of the country gained 17..">."? per cent, or from S17.S20 to I . 078.004. The negro population of the entire country increased from 8,810, 7S!> to 0,828,294?a gain of 987,505 or 11.17 per cent. If the natural increase of the negroes was the same in all parts of the country the grentor ratio Of increase at the North than at the South would mean a gain by the North and a loss by the South of about 00,000 negroes through migration. The white population of the South ern states showed a gain of 24 ".'< per cent while that of the balance of the country gained only 21.23 despite the fact that its gain from births was re inforced by nearly 9,000,000 Immi grants. Evidently the drift of the white population was from North to South I while that of the Ucgroes was in in South to North. The white population of the South is now nearly two and a half limes p.s large as the negro population, if , the relative gains of the past ton years cot Inno for a half century the South will have over four times as many Whites as blacks. The rate of gain for the decade ending with 1910 would indicate for the South a population a little in cnccss of 75,000,000 by I9C0 and for the balance of the country about 150,000,000 people.Jacksonville Times-Union, AWAY GOES PIMPLES, BLACK HE \PS.
