HARVIE JORDAN'S PLAN.
We are willing to confess that
President Harvle Jordan’s plan for
boosting the price of cotton and for
helping the farmers looks very nice
upon Us face, but lr. Is a question of
doubt whether it will bring perma
nent goo 1 or not. Benefits that are
not permanent, or rather, benefits
that draw In their wake correspond
ing disasters are a kind that the wise
men do not want. They are too
much like the house that was built
upon the sand.
Mr. Jordan's plan, if we understand
It, is to withdraw a half a million
bales of cotton from the market’s of
republican bosses who consent. |>os
slbly with reluctance, to pick du
good postmasters who have local po
litlcal influence. In the republicai
states the senators and represe Ha
fives are kept in perfect harm hi:
wth the throne and In enthusiastic
favor of administration measures by
the Judicious use of the postoffice'ap
pointing power. Were it not so, tbjere
would be lively times in Washington
in a jiffy. * i
Mr. Cortelyou, therefore must have
been playing upon Mr. Curtis' credul
ity In unfolding the beauties of (the
alleged nonpolitical postal system
of the country.
the world by carrying it over to the
next season. He proposes to get
somebody to buy that cotton an I
withdraw it from the market until
cotton reaches the price fixed by the
cotton growers association. This
cott./n Is not to be burned or thrown
Into the sea, but It is to be kept on
hand for sale early next season.
The result will be that there will
be probably twice as many bales of
cotton to be withdrawn from the mar
ket next year in order to boost the
price. If there should be a little legs
demand, which is likely to come, or
a little increase in the acreage, whl c h
Is bound to follow nn Increase in
prices, no matter how It Is brought
about, the cotton growers will be In
a worse condition than they are at
present in the matter of prices. They
may have to sell at very lowr prices
the staple which it costs them a
great Jeal to produce, and everybody
know’s that It costs much more to
rai&e cotton than it cost a few years
ago,.
Anything that Mr. Jordan may do
to bring independence to the farm
era will be hailed gladly all over the
south, but there Is danger that tem
porary successes may lead him too
far In the plans which he adopts to
carry his point. What the cotton
growers need to understand most of
all Is that cotton should be made
solely* as a surplus crop; that It
should be looked to as a surplus mon'
ey crop and not as the crop for sup*
porting the farmer’s family and home’
If the fanners mnke everything at
-Uoujo SkiUAhey-nwft-nt liuinu, tltePO
will be money In what cotton they
raise, whether the price be high or
low—and that system of farming will
force high prices for cotton because
it will reduce the yield, naturally.
But If the farmers are going to de
pend upon “syndicating” a half mil
lion or more bales a year, they are
liable to be overtaken by disaster at
a time when they may be least able
to bear. Such disasters always come
at such times.
NON- POLITICAL POSTAL SYSTEM
Postmaster Getieral Cortelyou, or
somebody, has unloaded upon Mr.
William E. Curtis the absurd no
tion that postofflee Jobs are no long
er subject to party control, anJ Mr.
Curtis has been writing extensively
about the new order and Instructing
postmasters how tney may best re*
tala their pull. We are astonished
that Mr. Curtis has permitted him-
NEED MORE DAIRIES.
It. is a little strange that Soiith
Georgia and Florida are noted as nat-
tie raising sections, and yet the ijbo-
ple of these sections have to gen Jr to
middle and north Georgia, Tennessee
or the north, for nine-tenths of Lhe
butter which they use. And the Re
sult Is that the average man In /ids
section—of those who buy b&ter
from the stores—has not tnstea gen
uine butter in so long that he dol?s
not know what It tastes like. I
We send out and get a pound paik
age of butter from some of the stores
—made by some fine creamery off to
some other section—It has a golden
color, looks excellent. ~lwt tastes no
more like genuine butter (the kind
you make at home) than chalk tastes
like cheese. The fact of the busi
ness Is that it Is not genuine butter.
It Is doctored to give It color, to keep
Jt from melting and to make it more
profitable to the people who put It
up. Occasionally, In some of the
stores, you can get hold of a pretty
fair quality of butter, but the average
is what we speak of when/ we say
that It Is not fit to eat.
We have got In a habit of eating It
and saying nothing about It—In fact
most of us have not tasted genuine
butter In so long that we do not know
whether what w-e buy abroad Is good
or not. Once In n while, you may
.line out with,some neighbor who has
a good cow’ and then you find out
how butter ought to taste and how

the demand. The local fairies have
such a demand for their milk Fuat
they cannot supply the market with
butter. We cannot understand,
though why some of the thrifty farm
ers do not pay more attention to this
kind of business. We believe th*-re
is money In it at prices such as are
prevailing here at present*.
There Is money made on butter In
other sections and It could be more
easily made here, for the reason that
the cattle can be more easily attend*
ed to here. Pasture lands are more
plentiful and everything Is right for
the raising of fine cattle. The main
hlng needed is attention to the bus*
lness—care of the cows and then
some attention to the packing and
preparing the products for marker.

Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, has
introduced a bill in the senate re
cently to Increase the scope of the
pension laws as applied to widows
and orphans of veterans of the Civil
war. It provides that the widow of
any officer or enlisted ntan who
nerved ninety days or more, and
whose annual Income does not ex
ceed $250, shall receive a pension of
$8 a month and $2 for each child
uadcr the age of 16 years. It will be
necessary to show that the husband
died from the effects of wounds re
ceived duriug the war. In case of
crippled or imbecile children, they
shall have the pension during life.
self to be gulled Into the belief that
any such reform has taken place,
says the Houston Post.- He is an old
resident of Washington, a correspon
dent of long experience and could
very easily ascertain how badly he
has been fooled If he would investi
gate.
Since Mr. Curtis first exploited
this reform, Hon. Cecil A. Lyon, the
republican state chairman and Nat
ional committeeman of Texas, has
been to Washington and completely
reorganized the postal service of
Texas. Many Texas post mast era
were relieved of further duty and
Mr. Lyon’s favorites duly appointed,
and It is on record that one postmas*
ter was not reappointed because the
complaint against him was "politi
cal Inactivity."
Only a few days ago Senators
Spooner and La Follette had a dis
agreement about the offices of Wis
consin and submitted their differ
ences to the president, mho recon'
clled them. Mr. Spooner has one-
half of Wisconsin under his Juris
diction and Senator LaFollette the
other half.
Postoffieos are being daily filled in
the same old way. In states like
Texas, where the senator* and rep
ro:<entat1ves are democrats, there are

ed expressed by resolution their op*
position to the color test for the pur
ity of syrup sold for the table, main*
tainlng that clarification by sulphur
fumes introduces a foreign element,
destroying the flavor of the syrup,
and that it amounts really to an
adulteration. ,
The Mobile Register says that the
deficiency, can he better understood
when it is known that 9«» per coat
f the table syrups and "Loaoniauis
of the table syrups and Ixmislnna
malosses” sold today is composed of
glucose and other substances. It
says a case was reported to the con
vention of two visitors to New Or
leans being served with a colorless,
sticky substance when they called
for Louisiana molasses, which, upon
analysis, was found to be composed
of every element except sugar. And t
the Register exclaims: "And this in a
city having central sugar factories."
In view of this fact, the argument
was most, strenuously made by the
members that there should be more
cane grown tn tae south, so that the
bogus products might be driven out
of the market for the larger the crop
the greater the probability that the
consumer may be able to get the gen
uine stuff when he calls for it, and
stands ready to pay for it.
Could consumers be assured that
they could always get “Louisiana
molasses” or Georgia cane syrup
when they gave an order, the de
mand would increase, very rapidly,
and with but little question over the
price that might be charged. But in
many localities these delectables are
in no wise attainable in their purity.
