MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

There is complaint among the farm.
ers that cotton is not selling for as
much In Dawson as it is in some other
places. THE NEWS does not know of
its own knowledge whether this is true
or not, or if it is true why it is,so. We
do know, however, that by reason of
this report cotton that should come to
Dawson is going to other markets.
In all business transactions there
must be mutually. The seller must
receive just compensation, and the
buyer must not be required to pay
more than the price at which the ar
ticle can be bought elsewhere.
If it is true that cotton is not bring
ing as good price in Dawson as it is else
where the business men of the town
should take hold of the matter and ap-
ply the proper remedy. II they would
have the custom of the farmers of the
Surrounding country they must afford
a cotton market for them; they
must arrange matters 50 that the prices
paid for cotton will bear ptblic COM
parison with prices paid elsewhere.
Certain it is that every town should
be the best market for the neighboring
farmers. If the fault is with the local
buyers, and we don't say that it is or is
not, the business men of the town
should interest themselves and correct
the trouble.
If there is any lack of mutual inter
est in the buying OF farm products and
the buying of merchandise the mer-
chant will suffer first and most. The
farmer can with least inconvenience
go elsewhere to buy and sell.
Let the business men take hold of
the complaint and see what there is in
it, and if there is cause for it remedy it

HELP FOR THE BOYS,
Hon o. B, stevens would Divert 500. 900
for Their Benefit.

The following article has been going
the rounds of the press for two or three
weeks. Its origin is unknown to this
paper:
Mr.. 0. B. Stevens, the nomipee for
commissioner of agriculture, has devils
ed plan by which he hopes % divert
$4,000 or S25, 900 of the fees received
from fertilizer inspection, anu with that
sum not only render the agricultural de-
partment more effective but give an in
dustrial OF agricultural education to 240
young men during the next four years
Mr.. Stevens does not think that it ever
was intended that the agricultural de-
partment should be source of revenue
to the state. 1t was intended to improve
the agricultural interests of the state, and
as great deal more can be done to this
end with more money to work with he
thinks that more of TIE net proceeds of
the fees should go to the work of the
department. He thinks they will amount
to $4,000. Of this sum he will ask that
$4,000 @ to the department with which

would ask the legislature to apply to

His plan would be to select the bows by
competitive examination, lend them $40
a year each at 3 to ) per cent interest to
go through the chronological school. the
agricultural college or any other state
institution for industrial education. He
would create sixty scholarships like this
for the first year, and sixty for the
second, third and fourth years. Then
there would be 240 in the institutions
for industrial education in the four wears

furnish 500 each to lend the bows. A
year or so after graduation they would
begin to pay back the money, and. it

TRYING TO BO7TLE MR.. 8RYAN.

Mr.. Mckinley and the war DEPART
ment seem intent upon keeping Mr..
Bryan and his influence as much ont
of the way of the republican party as
possible. Appeals which were sent to
Washington by personal and political
friends for Colonel Bryans release
from the army seem to have had no eff
fleet towards accomplishing the object
desired, for it is announced that he
and his regiment will be sent to Cuba
to DO garrison duty. A state campaign
is now in progress in Nebraska and
Colone' Bryan's presence there would
be very acceptable to the democratic
and silver managers, but the repubIi-
cans of the state and the powers at
Washington are satisfied to let him re-
main where he is.
Now that the war has ended CoIonaI
Bryan would like to come nome. but
he has too much pride to yield to the
pressure that is being brought to bear
upon him by friends to resign or ask
for his discharge.
Colonel Bryan is no longer needed
In the army, and should not hermit
himself to be "bottled up" He should

men and affairs IN this great nation.
