The popular spring styles with
the ladies is expressed thus—$ $ $
Mr. Rockefeller has been defen
ded by hi* attornoy. “ Whose
bread I eat, his song I’ll sing.”
With only ton new ones a year,
the Fifth avenue (N. Y.) baby does
not suffer much from competition.
Poultney Bigelow’s usefulness in
Massachusetts is gone forever. He
aaid in public that, the negro is
not a good legislator.
Chicago now proposes to find out
whether the street railways belong
to the city or the city belongs to
the street railways.
4 4, Who owns the railways?’’ asks
an Iowa paper. We don’t know,
since attorney Dodd has proved au
alibi for the Standard oil trust.
The Japanese are said to be stnal
because they us a no chairs. They
haven’t been letting the Russians
use any, either, for some time past.
Mr. Carnegie’s statement that
he never said he desired to die poor
shows that he is not so different
from the rest of us after all.
Senator Burton’s native modesty
will prevent him from taking the
iuitative in such a radical proceed¬
ing as resigning from the Senate,
The talk about it being impos¬
sible to keep saloons closed on
Sunday must be ignored hereafter.
It has been done at Kansas City,
Kansas.
Perry Belmont wants the widest
publicity about campaign contri¬
butions. Mr. Rockefeller will
have to give under the name of
“friend” in that case.
Texas has no objection to cheer-'
ing a Republican President between
campaigns, and if they were all
like Roosevelt there’s no telling
what, might happen.
About 400 indictments have been
returned against the Standard Oil
Company at Frankfort, Ky., thus
putting the oil trust in the George
W. Beavers class.
The beef trust has pushed the
price of meat up again. It proba¬
bly needs the money to replace
those trunks and books confiscated
by the Grand Jury.
It must be a queer method of
reasoning which leads certain
ehurck workers to insist that a
bad man like Mr. Rockefeller shall
not be allowed to do good.
Ida Tarbell advises Kansas “to
quit sizzling and get down to bus¬
iness” in the fight against the
Standard Oil. Kansas may be siz¬
zling but “Standard Oil” will be
doing the same things bafore she
through with it.
South the Land of Young
Men.
-
The South has come into its own
again. A few years ago we were
saying that the southerner was not
and never could be a business man.
Ever since the civil war the Huai
ness of the South has !>een carried
on bv Yankees, Germans, Jews, j
and scattering Scots and English,
The Jews, always alert in busi
ness, have been in the majority in
the retail trade, and, with Germans
and Yankees, have controlled the
wholesale business, the financial
institutions and the manufactories.
By a fallacy which time is dis¬
proving, the failure of the native
southerner to achieve business suc¬
cess was set down to inherent lack
of capacity. His failure was really
due to causes extrinsic and acci¬
dental.
At the close of the civil war
only the few Jewish residents of
the South bad much money. The
soldier was not discharged
when sent home to convalesce from
wounds and disease. Upon recov¬
ery he was again in the ranks. He
did not servo three months, nine
months or two years. He served
four years. The larger part of the
tnen who fought in the southern
army carried lead and disease ever
after. It was this impoverished,
discouraged, stricken people whom
the outsider distanced in the race
for money. Unused to commerce,
the southerner not only saw the
property represented bv his slaves
pass utterly away, and his lands
ravaged and his bouses burned,but
he saw men alien to his region an¬
ticipate hint in the dawning op¬
portunities of a tardily returning
prosperity. He became and on¬
looker in the land his blood had
watered. Others garnered as a
result of his impoverishment.
But not so now. For the young
southerner is forging to the front
so fast that it now is more likely
that he will crowd the strangers
out than that they will seriously
rival him. He has taken a leaf
out of the book ot his rivals, and
bv the tactics vhich have been at
least as great a facton in their suc¬
cess as any other in arriving at
prosperity. The southern tandem
wedge is boring holes in the lines
of the opposition. The young
southern men, often mere boys of
twenty-one and twenty-two, are
running the banks, the stores, the
hotels. They are exploiting great
tracts of land, feeding vast forests
into the saw-mills. They are the
railroad men, the promoters, the
brokers. Oil wells gush at their
behest, towns riso at their com¬
mand. By men under thirty the
greater part of the busineis of the
south is now being done. The
northerner who thinks of emigrat¬
ing to the south because he believes
he can surpass the natives iu busi¬
ness capacity, will find foemen
worthy of his steel—keen, untiring
and full of the nerve and enthus¬
iasm of youth. The south is the
uew part, the young Dart of our
domain. The west has become
ataid aud middle-aged. The young
man has come to the front in the
south, and with him the south
comes into its own once more.—
Leslie’s Weekly.
Hon. H. C. Frick, the ex-iron
king of Pennsylvania, wants to
take a dash into politics. Unless
he is also ambitious to “die poor”
wo would advise him to keep out
of Peuusylvauia politics.
\Ye wish they would slop pro¬
ceedings in the China Sea long
enough to explain how a man with
such a pronouncable name as “E:*
quist” happened to get command
of a Russian fleet. It should at
least have been Enquistivitch or
the like.
Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, is trying to blame Secre
tary Shaw for the price of wheat in
North Dakota. Senator Hans¬
brough should know that the gov¬
ernment is responsible only for the
growth of wheat, the price being
fixed by Ogden Arraonr and John
W. Gates.

The advertisement reproduced

*»ry i,ue iu every way interested in
cotton.
“to the cotton growers of the
SOUTH.”
*’If vou wish to win your battle
and obtain a fair price for your
cotton \ou must reduce your acre¬
age very considerably.
4 4 You have surprised the world
by the manner iu which you have
held cotton.
“Surprise it again by cutting
down your acreage.
“Do not be led astray 'oy the
present steadiness of prices.
“Three causes have contributed
to bring about the rise of more
than one cent a pound.
First: The urgent demand aris¬
ing from an unprecedented con¬
sumption.
Second: Your courage and wis¬
dom in making the buyer meet
your terms,
Third: Tho belief that you
would cut your acreage to such an
extent that the surpiies from this
crop and the growth of 1905-0
would make a commercial crop no
larger than the world needs.
“The first two causes lost their
force the moment it is known that
there is a prospect for a moder¬
ately large crop next year.
4 4 Even the mills take 12,000,000
bales during the current season,
this would leave a carry-over of
1,500,000 bales, hence the necessi¬
ty of a similar crop this year.
4 4 Do not let any rise in prices
between now and the end of the
planting season deter you from re¬
ducing >oui acreage..
I 4 Such an advance would be
mearly anticipating that you were
making the decrease which ymr
friends have advised you to make.
4 4 If the June report of the gov¬
ernment show's that you have fail¬
ed to make sufficient reduction the
only peisons who would be gainers
by the advance would be the spec¬
ulators who sell out their futures
for profit.
“The price of the cotton yon
produce will be regulated by the
actual, not the expected, reduc¬
tion.
4 4 Don’t depend on your neighbor
to do the reducing.
“In this matter of acreage re
duction bear in mind three sug
gestions:
“Don’t rely on bad weather to
cut down the size of the crop.
“Don’t put a large acreage into
cotton simply because it is too
late to plant corn or other diver¬
sified crops.
“It would be far better to let
part of your land lie idle than to
run the risk of raising a crop so
large as to make possible auother
period of low priced cotton.
“I am making this appeal to
you because I regard the next few
weeks as critical to the South aud
because 1 believe that every mau
who is interested in the welfare of
the South should urge the import¬
ance of a reduced acreage.’’—Dan¬
iel J. Sully, in Augusta Chronicle.
