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.

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 of Christman morn, will he glorified by lt« restoration In this year of grace and thera will be dialings of the con- nlkina at firesides to which Jolly old Saint Nick has been too long a 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 grot that la Just aa,certain to bring prosperity to the farmer* if they will art upon U aa the rising sun brings light.

With our splendid public school system, we have within our hnnda the remedy. It remains but to apply It.—Utica Observer, BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 23.—The railroad situation In the South is full of Instances showing the aim of all the Important line* there to reach porta upon the Gulf of Mexico, particularly since the construction of a Panama canal has been assured, giving warrant for great expectations of heavy ton nage to follow the opening of the Inter- ocean Jc waterway. One la a report from New Orleans crediting on official of the Southern Pacific Railway visiting there with saying that the company would not be satisfied until it had reached a gulf outlet at both Gulfport, Miss., because of great importance, especially In lum ber, and Pensacola, Fla, He also said that plans were now under considera tion and prictlcally agreed on to build a bridge ficroaa th* Mississippi river Baton P.ouge. with a line 52 miles long connecting with the Southern Pa cific at Lafayette, La. All that re mained to be done wag to finance .the bridge project, and It was the further purpose of the company to continue eastward to the ports named. Another very interesting and Im portant report comes from Nashville, Tenn., to the effect that the Tennessee Central Railroad Company Is consider ing plans to build two large extensions, one to Birmingham. Ala., and the other to Chattnroogn. The first would be direct from Nashville to the great Ala bama mineral region, and the other would be from Crossvllle. Tenn. An officer of the company declined to eith er affirm or deny the report, which Is said to come from a source close to the control of the road. These are but typical of the ten dencies In railroad construction in the Houth, which Includes, moreover, the building up of smaller lines through irgln territory. A letter to the Manuafacturers' Record tells of one of these operating through 30 or 40 miles of territory In two Georgia counties. It Is the Tallu lah Fall* Railway, which by opening up 16 miles of new trackage last spring gave a great Impetus to the develop ment of the counties. The letter says: "As proof of the prosperity along our lines, we have a net increase of 26 per cent. i n the earnings of our road over the previous year. Delight ful fall weather has evidently been tak en advantage of by the farpier* along our line If one Is to Judge by the In creased acreage of fall plowing.

The Southwest la filing up very rapidly with new settlers, and It Is estimated that approximately each month 1,800 Immigrants are being car ried over the lines to different points In the Southwest, where they are com mencing the work of breaking the soli, besides building homes and carrying on general farming. On account of this heavy Immigration and because of the settling up of the country new towns are springing up, and different lines of business houses are being established at each town, and numerous Industries of all kinds nre being established.
