upon the cotton seed this season
have mailed a copy of their ciro1lou
to the official heads of the Cotton
Growers Protective Association ~
all the cotton States, and reuuesto5
them to present the matter to all
sub-branches of the Association !,
the various counties in their resnao
tive States. Legitimate and fair
prices for our cotton seed is of eonal
Importance with those for lint. and
the two products are entitled to eonaI
consideration.
The cotton seed market can be mora
easily controlled by the producers
than can the market for their COTTON
But few farmers r forced to sell
their seed within a limited period of
time ; while thousands are often com.
PEELED to part with their cotton as
fast as it is gathered, in order to
meet maturing obligations due for
the purchase of supplies or other
necessaries TO make the crop. Every
Indication at this time points to an
advance in the price of all the bv-
products manufactured from cotton
seed. The shortness of the corn
crop in the. West will call for more
meal and hulls for feeding cattle this
fall and winter. There wifi be less
lard in the market, because of the
scarcity of corr with which to fatten
hogs, hence an increase in the de.
mand for lard made from cotton seed
oil.
The country is in a highly prosper
Gus condition and there is starting
up a revival of trade in all the differ
emit markets of the world. The mills
made money this year, when demand
for their products was not so strong
as it will be this winter. Just whv
the oil mill people have agreed upon
a price. SO low for cotton seed this
season is hard to understand in the
face of existing facts, unless they ex.
poet to make the farmers pay in one
season the extra prices they have
been paying to get possession of the
mills they now own. It is up to the
farmers to say whether they will
quietly submit to 10 cents per busheI
for their seed or whether they will
demand % cents and enforce it's pay
ment or not sell. This is the prob
lem which %confronts us.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The State tobacco growers meet,
ing, mentioned last week, as being
called for Fair Week will be held
Wednesday evening, October 23rd.
Reports from county meetings re.
Ceived up 30 the hour of going to
press indicate that the meeting of
farmers to be held here to morrow
50 discuss the cotton seed problem
will be largely attended.
In last weeks number of the Char
lotte Presbyterian Standard the
Flagler-Kenau scandal it set forth
in the cold clear light of Biblical
rules of right and justice. The Stand
ard s vigorous protest against this
form of spiritual wickedness in
high places" is r~efreshingly fearless.
1t will be unfortunate if Alliance
men throughous the State fail to
show their appreciation of the ac-
tion of the State Alliance in Offering
special liberal premiums for exhibits
of farm products by Alliancemen
We understand that any exhibit en-
tered for this competition may also
compete for the regular premiums
offered by State Fair officials. Send
for a copy of the Premium List, and
enter the competition for alliance
premiums.
The Elizabeth City Carolinian
calls for d strict enforcement of the
oyster laws. One sentence we quote {:
"Oysterers and those dealing in the
oyster trade unite in declaring that
il the system of culliug, sorting out
the small oysters and returning
them TO the water for further
growth, is not more rigidIy enforced
in the future than it has been in the
past, in five years our oyster beds
will be comparatively exhausted
The oyster industry should be worth
much to eastern Carolina, and this
warning deserves attention. We
fear that too little attention is given
the enforcement of every game law
ON our statute books.

-
Anarchy should be crushed out,
but we think that many rash and
un-American plans for accomplishing
this purpose have been proposed.
This problem should be discussed
with GOODNESS and ~soberness in our
desire to protect the lives of our Off
cials and punish assassins, let us not
be carried away with the frenzied,
reckless ~utterances of unthinking
zealots.
Over in Virginia, for instance, a
few days ago the words ''freedom of
speech contained in the present bill
of rights of Virginia were stricken
out by the Constitutional Conven-
ton. This foolish action was the re-
suit of an impassioned speech by
Judge Bergman Green. He de-
olared, say the dispatches, that free
dom of speech had been a precious
possession of the English speaking
people since the days Of Alfred the
Great, but that a marked illustration
of it's abuse was ''the noble victim
now lying at the nations capital
mourned by thousands"
So it is that men, swayed by the
excitement of the hour, r ready to
sacrifice their most valued posses
sions to a temporary passion. Little
narrow-minded men may talk OF
abridging freedom of speech and the
liberty of the press, but we believe
that the American people have sense
enough to settle this problem with
out tearing up the foundation prin-
oiples of our American institutions.
1t is fortunate that Congress will not
convene for some weeks yet, and
that before then press and people
will have time to consider ooUlly the
foolish, reckless things that have
been said.
We do believe that avOwed anar-
chists should no longer be protected
by law which they seek to uproOt,
nor by its representatives whom
they would murder in cold blood.
Next, let us have stricter immigra-
ton laws. Let Us no longer receive
the riff raft of creation. We have
long opposed the indiscriminate ad
minission of Poles, Huns, and
other degraded foreigners.
In these two particulars good work
can be done. But let Us think twice
before we further encourage those
who are now saying that there is too
much liberty in this country that
freedom of speech and the liberty of
the press are dangerous. This lib
erty may be abused, and those who
take advantage of it 80 encourage
crime aud anarchy should be pun
ished but let US not condemn invalu-
able safeguards because a few bad
men have worked evil with them.
Centuries ago blind old Samson.
surrounded by hated foes and
with no means of escape, took hold
of the middle pillars of the great
palace and sacrificed his
own life that he might bring about
the death of three thousand enemies.
But let not the American people,
even III this hour of rage and sorrow,
encourage by word OF deed those
madmen who would teal down this
great Temple of Freedom in order
TO crush out a little nest of foreign
anarchists.

OUR NEW PRESIDENT.

For several years we have watched
with much interest the career of
Thodore Roosevelt. He is a man of
undoubted talent, independence and
courage man of much greater abil-
ity than the average Vice President
Many people fear that he will carry
this independence and courage to
rashness, but we do not think this
probable. The responsibilities of the
Presidency will sober the most en-
thusiastic and impetuous of men.
But it is not likely that Roosevelt
will wear any mans collar. He has
always rebelled against bossism.
Mark Hanna does not like him, nor
does Tom Platt. Roosevelt, it will
be remembered, did not wish the
nomination for the Vice-Presidenoy,
~preferring to remain as Governor of
New York. In that position, how
ever, Platt found him hard to man
age, and so helped along the Woe
Presidential boom, thinking this
would shelve "Teddy"fo for all time to
come. But
''The best laid schemes O. mice and
men
Gang aft a-gley,"
and now Theodore Roosevelt is Presi-
dent of the United States with nearly
three and one-half years to serve be-.
fore the beginning of the next Presi<
Dental term. No Vice President,
succeeding to the Presidency as a re,
suit of the death of the oountry's
Chief Magistrate, has ever yet
secured an election. This record
Roosevelt will endeavor to break,
and it is not unlikely shat he will do
so.
For one thing, it will be interest
ing to watch Hanna's relations to
Roosevelt from now on. Hanna's
friends, Progressive Farmer readers
will remember, had Il few weeks ago
a pretty we'll developed boom for his
nomination in 1904. Hanna, Of course,
did say that it was started without
his knowledge or consent, but it is
generally believed that he winked at
it wistfully and a%nxiously.
Mr.. R ~0osevelt is a man of bound
less energy, a tireless worker. Per
haps his best known phrase is "the
strenuous life," the subject of his
famous Hamilton Club speech in
which he said: 81 wish to preach,
not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but
the doctrine of the strenuous life
the life of toll and effort, Of labor,
and strife; to preach that highest
form of success which comes, not to
the man who desires mere easy peace,
but to the man who does not shrink
from hardship, or from bitter toll,
and who, out of these, wins the
splendid, ultimate triumph"
Mr.. r )~Osevelt has made an excel
lent record as police commissioner Of
New York City and as Governor of
New York State, and we know no
man in his party that we regard as
better qualified for he Presidency.
