WORK ENOUGH AT HOME.
In the couree of h's recent mesange
to oonjtres* President Roosevelt said:
ourselves with trying to better the rendi
tion of things In other nations. We havo
plenty of sins of our own to war against,
and under ordlnnry circumstance* we ran
do more for the gradual uplifting of liu
manlty by striving with hmrt and soul
to put a stop to civic corruption, to brutal
lawlessness and violent race prsludlrrs
here at home than by passing resolution?*
about wrong-doing elsewhere?*
• This Is nn excellent sentiment. Noth-
• Ing could plena© The Telegraph better
than to see the president leave the Pig
Stick behind the White House door
| for a season and devote himself to
, home problems. There are many more
of the latter than ha seems to think,
for he mentions only “civic corrup
tion,** “brutal lawlessness 1 ' and “vio
lent race prejudices,** but the first
named la alone sufficient to occupy the
whole of his attention during the next
four years.
A strenuous crusade against the use
of money In elections, for example. Is
highly desirable and might prova of
, real service to the country. Such a cru
sade ought to possess a peculiar Inter
est for a successful candidate who was
• backed by the trusts, but who will not
again need such backing because his
ambition la satisfied and he will not bo
a candidate four years hence. He Is
thus free to reform even that particu
lar kind of civic corruption which was
so useful to him during the recent cam
paign. No man should fee! bound by
past favors forever, and thera la cer-
, talnly a large treasure of excuse for
lbs repudiation of debts of gratitude
provided It be done with an eye slnglo
to the public good.
As for “brutal lawlessness,** Includ
Ing homicides and lynrhlngs, there is
oartalnly vast room for reform. Karn-
eat and continuing effort on the presi
dent's part might do not a little to
strengthen public sentiment In favor
of Instating upon Just punishment for
all murderers. This, more than any'
thing, fa needad aa on effective check
upon homicides. Hut before Mr. Roasc-
velt can begin a really aarlous crusade
against lynching for serious or mild
crimes In the Kast and Mouth, It ap
pears to us that he must racant and
publicly repudiate hla opinions aa to
the wholesome effect of lynching for
cattle stealing In the far West.
Taking up the third home problem
mentioned by the preeldent, we have
only to aay that the leas effort he
makes to stamp out race prejudice tho
better. If he were to rouse public sen
tlment In the North In favor of fore
Ing open the doors of the labor unions
to negroes, he might perform a real
and great service to the latter on the
material and primarily most Important
aide. To insist that the Held of labor
be opened to them North as well ns
Pouth. and to demand other similar
privileges, to which they have the clt
(ten’s right, might be productive of re
suits and therefore be henettctal.
Hut It would he as foolish aa It would
be futile to deeree that property
Hrooklyn. Philadelphia. Chicago
Heston shall cohw to depreciate In
value because of the proximity of ne
groes, and that the whiles of thosa clt
tea shall cease their Indignant protesta
when negroes move next door. In tta
ordinary tAsp If ©stations race prejudice
■ Is rooted tn nature Itself; therefore It
laughs at legislation and defies preach
Ing of every port, even when the
preacher la the preeldent himself. It
Is leas dangerous If let alone.
MUST HOLD WITH AN UNDER
STANDING.
The farmers. If they undertake to
bold the remaining cotton on their
hands, must do It upon the tacit un
deratandlng all round that they are ,
going to curtail the acreage planted
next aprlng. If thev plant for another
large crop with a considerable rem
nant held over to crowd the new crop,
disaster will follow upon disaster. In
stead of T-cents cotton next fall we
will have 5-cents cotton.
It will be safe to hold upon the Idea
that the crop la going to be reduced
next yeer. It the crop Is not going
to be reduced it will not be eafe to
hold.
While It Is time, therefore, a few
extra scree might be put down, even
this late. In wheat and oats, A few
more pores set apart for corn. A little
r ear* might be given to the pigs
the cows, and the fruit trees
might be fertilised a bit. Put In for a
good hay crop with which to feed the
stock. Plant fifteen scree tn cotton
. where twenty were planted before.
We have a great country. Georgia
la a part of the garden spot of the
earth’s surface. One has only
scratch the ground te make It produce.
Be a bit generous te U and It wttl
IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
The discussion of the proposal to
admit Indian Territory «• a state has
brought out some Interesting facts In
regard to that section of country. Not
the least important of these la that
It will be an ‘ Indian** state to any
considerable extent but a white state
with a large mongrel population made
up of two races and their mixed off-
shoota.
It appears that there are 35.255
Cherokees, 23,673 Choctaws, 15.658
Creeks, 9,713 Chickasaw*, and 2,753
Bemlno'.ea, making 86,€68 of the five
tribes called civilised. Besides, there
are about 1 1,500 made up of remnants
of Shawnee*. Osagos and many others.
There are 25,000 mestizos, 10000 ne
groes, and white men In large enough
numbers to raise the total population
to 600,000. Moreover, there Is said to
b© a color lino, not drawn by the
whites against the Indians or by the
Indians against the whites, but by
both against the blacks. The Guthrie
Daily Capital (Kep.) declares that the
Republican ticket whs beater, not be
cause tho Democrats are In the ma
jority, but because ft negro was placed
on the ticket. A correspondent of the
Boston Transcript gives further In
formation aa follows:
The color line Is iGrtng drawn In both
ends of the stale. In a recent meeting of
the council of the Creek nation tho mat
ter came up In a direct way. There arc
several negroes in the council, and as the
blacks have tho same privileges as the
full-blooded Indians and nil the rest of
the Ingredient* of the Five Tribe*, this
Is-iue stands u chance to cause trouble,
especially ns the <‘herok«*e« and the other
nations arc showing some restiveness un
der tho equality of rights. These Iff,000
ex-slaves, therefore, and their descend
inta mny make an issue which tho roun
ry will hear about after statehood comes
t must he understood thnt the red innn
has the same senae of superiority over the
negro that tl*e white man feels, Iii the
Indian Territory there Is no drawing of
the line by tho whites against the In
dians. The possession of u little Indian
blood Is esteemed»to be it badge of superi
ority among the old white residents of the
territory. Those with this Indian strain
will _
[now and buy the number of bales of
cotton he expects to plant for the com
ing year and put It away and bold It
for 10 cents per pound, and not plant
a seed of cotton next year. In order
to "prove my faith by my works'* I say
now to all my patrons that If they will
not plant cotton another year I will
buy ii nd pay for aa much cotton aa
they made the last season and only
charge them a small interest on the
money.
Let's see how this would act If every
lend owner In the cotton region would
uct upon my suggestion. If the planters
should enter the market and buy what
cotton they expect to make It would
absorb almost every available bale of
cotton there U and there would be such
a scramble from the manufacturers as
has never been before since cotton has
been grown. This course would be
quite different from simply holding
cotton. The manufacturers would
know that all these men had quit mak
ing cotton and they would rush In the
market for cotton not only for present
consumption but for months to come
If they could get It.
That curse would settle the labor
question. There would be plenty of
labor and to spare. The old worn out
fields would get a good year's rest and
at the same time pay n handsome divi
dend. In addition to all this, these gu
ano trusts need "busting" and this
course would burst them and scatter
them to the four winds of the earth.
I have known 1 the time when acid
phosphate could be bought for $5 per
ton and now we pay $12 per ton. Is it
possible that our farmers will sit Idly
by and be robbed in such a wholesnlo
manner? If they will act upon my sug
gestion the Houth will blossom like a
rose. If they will not they will simply
have to suffer on.
I will say again, that I will pay for
cotton for my customers If they will
grow corn, sugar cane, potatoes,
ground pens and raise hogs and leave
off cotton and If nil the land owner* of
the Houth will follow suit cotton will
bring 10 cents before the first day of
June, 1905.
In conclusion I will say I am not go
ing to plant a seed of cotton next year
hut expect to buy the amount of bales
I grew this season and raise corn, oats,
wheat, sugar cane, potatoes, etc. Very
truly, J. F. HEARD.

We are not Quite ready to accept the
assertion that race prejudice exhibits
Itself only where negroes are con
cerned even under the abnormal con
dltlona of the Indian territory,
n It hough It is doubtless true that tho
prejudice Is more marked In this case
than In others. We have no doubt
that the Indians regard the whites
with a certain hostile aversion and
that the whites look upon the Indians
as essentially Inferior to themselves.
CHRISTMAS.
Chrlstmns Day thta yenr falls upon
Hunday and. therefore, Its religious
observance will, throughout the world,
he of a moro pronounced character
than ordinarily. Hut so far ns the
children are concerned, today Is Christ
mas, and Bsnta Claus will have com
pleted his beneficent works by
time of the chanticleer’s call tomorrow
morning. Doubtless he will have much
to do both Hunday and Monday, here
and there, but the spirit of frolic will
he rife today.
There la every reason that our
Southern people should enjoy the yule
tide. They have been blessed. It has
been 1 a yenr without serious vlclssl
Hides of any sort. The crops have
been bounteous. There has been no
pestllenee. The country has been
spared calamity. Business has been
prosperous. There are more who can
spare a dollar for a Christmas gift
today than there were a year ago. The
purs# strings are looser for hearts are
happier. The price of cotton may be
low todny. hut It was higher In Oeto-
!*er. Conditions, commercial and In
dustrial, are essentially prosperous.
Never was there so much life In the
old land.
The music of the Christmas belle
will have a tone of unusual sweetness
for there Is comfort, and ronfldenco
and good-cheer from the laughing
water to the Rln Grande, and from
Plimnuth Hock to "where rolls the Ore
gon." Homes that for Imtny a long
day have not known the treasure-tree

and thera will be dialings of the con-
nlkina at firesides to which Jolly old

stranger.
The Cotton Situation.
To the Editor of The Telegraph: I
have read and heard much recently In
regard to the cotton situation and I
realise fully that the Houth. that was
flourishing like a veritable Kden only
a few weeks ago, Is now draped In
mourning on account of the tremen
dous slump In the price of cotton. Tho
Idea of holding cotton for letlrr prices
and not be able to curtail the produc
tion la suicidal In the extreme ns that
course will neither Increase the de
mand nor decrease the supply. We
need a remedy and need It now, to
avert the calamity thnt must befall the
Houth If the balance of this present
crop should be put upon the market at
7H cents i»cr pound I am not in fa
vor of trusts among the manufactur
ers. merchants, banker*, farmers, or
any other class, but this tx a day of
trusts snd I have heard that the way
to fight the devil was to fight him with
fire. The farmer today la up against
all kinds of trusts. There Is the steel
trust, the tobacco trust, fertiliser trust
and an almost Innumerable list of
trusts on every article of food or rai
ment that It falls to hla lot to pur-
'base.
There la a terrible conflict on be
tween the manufacturer or thta coun-
ntid Kurope and the farmers of the
cotton growing states of the Houth as
to whether the balance of this crop of
cotton shall bring €H to 7 or *tfc to I*
enis per pound. The manufacturers
re armed to the teeth with every con
ceivable weapon of warfare for this
terrible war, and at present are on top
with all the advantages that err rue in
consequence of their favorable eitua-
tton. and unleea quick, decisive action
te taken, the struggle wiit be over the
farmer vanquished, and In poverty, be
compelled to earn bread by the sweat
of hla brow. 1 have a remedy to
