Cotton Seed Too High for Mississippi
NILS TO Make PROFIT.
jackson, Mis-. Oct. ll.-Numerous
conferences are being held by cotton oil
manufacturers Of Mississippi with 4 view
to controlling prices TO be paid for seed.
The mills are now paying si6 a ton
sand as the crop is 90 per cent short it
is the general belief the price viii ad.
vance to at least els within the next
few weeks.
Manufacturers say. however. they
cannot afford TO pay more than the pres
ent price and that they are losing money
on seed products at present prices. Many
mills are holding oil in expectation Of
an advance.
It is believed by some Of those inter
ested that two.thirds Of the mills will
be- closed down by Christmas ON account
of the seed shortage.

A COnparisOn.

Atchison Globe: A comparison of
the census returns and of the registra-
tion figures in number of cities
shows surprising difference in the
ratio OF voters to population, diff
ference which in some instances it is
difficult to explain. In the Greater
New York there are 100 registered
voters for every 532 inhabitants, and
in the boroughs of Manhattan and the
Bronx, being the old city, there are
100 out of every SOP. In Boston there
are 100 out of 523, in Chicago 100 out
of 420, in st. Louis 100 out Of 419, in
Buffalo 100 out of 4S0, in Detroit 100
out of 47S, and in Philadelphia 100
out of 300. The registration of st.
Joe is 14,471, while the census gives
it a population of 102, 900. Thus st.
Joe has more than seven inhabitants
for every voter, whereas the highest
in other cities is little over five, and
the average about four and half.

A Very Difficult Problem.

The city authorities have tried for
years to arrange some plan whereby
they could regulate the charity given
to some of the aged colored people.
1t is perfectly proper to give needed
assistance to old people whose best
days were stolen from them by their
masters, but there is no reason what
ever for furnishing meals for big,
lusty colored young men who refuse
to work and simply lie around the
streets and at night or at meal time
go to the home of some of these old
people and eat everything in sight.
One of the most aggravated cases of
this kind has been that of Saline
Washington, a good old nanny who
has worked for the whole town and
deserves assistance in her old age.
But the provisions given her which
should last a week, do not last TWO
days, because there are lot of great,
big, healthy young bucks who eat at
her table. The city dads are trying
to persuade her to go to the poor
farm, or to move into a house by her
self. There is no objection to help
ing her, but it is neither wisdom nor
kindness to encourage able bodied
men to live around in idleness and to
grow up in the expectation of charity.

Another View OF Panperlsm.
Humboldt, Kansas, Nov. 8, 100

Humboldt, Kansas, Nov. 8, 1900.
EDITOR REGIsTER: There was an
article in your paper last week about
'Pauperism" that don't strike me as
the right way to look at it.
Pauperism is as old as humanity
Men labor, live and are content If at
the age of 80 or 60 years they have
made themselves little home for
their old age. There is not much left
after weeks work to lay up in the
savings bank, but every days work
has added to the wealth of the more
provident. Why should these men
who have families to love be herded
on poor farm even If 1t does take
the price of farm each year to keep
them ? And then again many of the
poor are women who have children
to look after and educate. These
women have done their share to make
Others happy by their labor and why
sh ould their families be separated
and made to feel the cold charity of
a poor house, even If it does take a
farm or two to keep them.
Many of the county poor are only
temporary paupers. More than half
their support they make themselves
and the county is only asked to help
occasionally. The county is not very
much burdened by the poor tax 1t
is well to look at the charitable nature
of a man when you vote for him for
trustee or commissioner and not elect
one who looks upon the poor as a
burden instead of legacy of love.

State School Foundation.

According to the reports of the var
ious county uperintendents of Kan
sas the school population of Kansas
is 5l0,l77. The population last year
was 504, 100. This shows an increase
of 6,047 during the past year. Wyan-
dotte leads with 22,S41, and Shawnee
comes second with 1923. Sedgwick
is third with 1923, followed closely
by Cherokee with l4,164. Crawford is
fifth with $3.50, Leavenworth sixth
with II, 1919, and Cowley seventh with
1854, Atchison eighth with 1O,O57.
No other counties reach the 10000
mark. Stanton county has only 95
people of school age, and Morton is
the next lowest, with SO. Twelve
counties in the state have less than
500 each, while twenty-one counties
each fall below 1000.

GAINED EVERYWHERE
Returns Show That the "FlOps" Claim
by Kansas Republicans We're
Genuine

Topeka, Nov. 10.-With the ex-
ception of one ty-Clark-Mc-
Kinley gained votes in every county
in Kansas last Tuesday as compared
with the vote OF 1896. The gains range
from one in Morton county to 1,4O9 in
Sedgwick, according to the best OBJ
tainable information at Republican
state headquarters.
In '96 Bryan carried 81 counties and
Mckinley 3S. This year Mckinley
carried 81 counties'a and Bryan "a. The
changes in the vote by counties for
Mckinley this year over '96 aggregate
30, 266. The total vote was about the
same, if not a little larger, this year
than in '96. This shows that II. 633
Kansans who voted for Bryan in '96
voted for Mckinley in 1900. Still the
fusion managers deceived their own
people during the campaign by declar-
ing that the reported changes from
Bryan to Mckinley as given out by
the Republicans were fakes.

Election Night in New York.

New York Times.
In front of The New York Times
bulletin an eager young man and his
wife, surrounded by some 20, 600 other
men and their wives, read the returns.
When heTimes figures told their story
and the movement of those anxious to
begin their celebration began, the
young man, torn from his wife. was
thrust into the pile of downtown strug-
glers. His wife by mischance landed
in the uptown section of the human
moving sidewalk.
Lucy, Lucy" he yelled, "don, be a
Harmed. I've got to go down town.
Can't help it..
Lucy had megaphone that she man.
aged to get to her lips.
"Never mind, Charley, DEAR" her
voice aided by the megaphone, sent
back; "Ive lost you, dear, but the coun-
try's safe"
John by this time was half a block
from Lucy, still being pushed down
town.
'If we do not meet again here be-
low" yelled he.
why, then, Well meet in Harlem. {"
amended Lucy.
Out in front of the old-style high
stoop of business house it seemed to
occur to somebody that somebody had
been defeated. In the gutter lay one
to whom too much liquid enthusiasm
had temporarily deprived of the read
ing the election returns. A host of
horn blowers who had recently dined
at a nearby restaurant caught up the
PROSTATE form and laid it on the
stoop. Then the man in the emergen-
cy went down into his pockets, pro-
ducing number of candles borrowed
from the restaurant. These they set
about the unconscious one. The
candles lighted, the party INDUCED in
a few Irish laments.
THAT'S Bryan" yelled the leader.
"And he's dead" put in another.
The man in the emergency was equal
to the occasion. He shouted:
IF he hadn't died, he wouldn't be
after having no wake at all, at ALL"
