If was further asserted that ever!
nound of this material could and should
| have been raised at home. It was point
Cd out that this material represented
the value of 115,ooo bales OF cotton, or
about two-thircis Of the entire receipts.
and the pertinent question was asked:
! How can a country prosper which is
drained year, after year in this nanner?"
This is a serious question for the farm
ers of the South to consider. 1t is SO
hard TO break away from old customs.
soon after the war there was such de-
,n. nd for cotton that the farmers OF the
South used every possible acre of ground
in its production, and under those Amor
NAL conditions it was more profitable
10 raise cotton than anything else. and
tho farmer could afford, with the high
nrices he obtained for his cotton, to buy
his supplies.
But all that is changed. The price OF
cotton has come down, until 1t is now
only a. little higher than the cost OF pro-
QUESTION. and 1t is suicidal for the farmer
to eypend all his energies IN producing
cotton and use the proceeds to purchase
his supplies. Take for example year
like this, when by reason of the scarcity
of corn in the West the price is more
than doubled But it cost the farmers OF
the South no moro to raise corn IN that
year than in other years, and SO those
farmers who did, not raise corn are COM
peeled to pay double prices for their sup
ply Of that cereal.
On general principles. we say that
farmer can produce everything that MS
farm will produce cheaper than he can
buy it from somebody else, beausc when
he produces it he gets it at prime cost
whereas when he purchases it he must
pay at least two profits, with the cost or
transportation added.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The sale OF seats for the enga cement
of Richard Mansfield at the Academy
next Monday night opened yesterday
morning and continued throughout the
day. reaching record breaking d,rnen-
sions. Some little satisfaction was ex-
pressed at the large number of mail or
ders that had been filed and that had
been given preference in accordance with
the established custom of the house.
Mr.. Leath said that he had adopted
this plan in order to avoid speculation
and to save the time of business men
who could not we'll afford to stand III
line for several hours, as they would GER
tainly have to do in order to set tickets
if the system now in vogue had not been
established.
Mr.. Leatil feels a little hurt over the
protests that havo been registered since
the Mansfield sale opened The present
plan involves a vast amount of trouble
not only upon the treasurer and his as
sistant but also upon Mr.. Leath himself.
The orders are accepted solely in the
interest of the pubic, and IS relieved TO
save them both time and money.

MANY CANDIDATES OUT.
Rivalry for Presidency Of Women's
Club LEAGUE


LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 6.-The po-
this morning was that Drs. Decker and
Mrs. Denison are making a very close
race for the presidency. Mrs Decker's re-
iterated statement not to interfere with
the chances of the New York woman, has
apparently had no effect on her following,
and state after state has offered her ali
legiance. Mrs. Denison is not at all per-
turbed over the change and would throw
her influence to Mrs. Decker If to any
one. and her still loyal friends are in every
way trying to advance the interests of
their candidates.
The possibility of the presidency coming
west, which was SO marked at the opening
of the convention. has unsettled the pro-
moters of candidates for the secondary
offices and the Burdette forces seem to
have scattered somewhat since California
women have not been a unit for her can
didacy for chief officer, though many con-
tinue to believe she will catch whatever

loudly against their lack of representation.

ment, for the nominating committee meets

Robson declared he had contracts with the
two players which gave him their exclusive
services this season.
Judge Fischer, who had been asked for a
similar Injunction to restrain ~Heidrick

reasons given in both cases for denying the
petitions for Injunction were that the
judges found the contracts signed by the
players with the National League were
one-sided and contrary to the Constitution.
They also found evidences of trust.

DOLE'S ENDORSEMENT.
Presidents Action Arouses Enthu.
siasm in Hawaii.

Files of Hawaiian newspapers of April
21 to "a received in Washington today show
that the Endorsement given by President
Roosevelt to the administration of Cover
nor Sanford B. Dole aroused enthusiasm
in Hawaii. The news reached Honolulu late
in the afternoon of April 81, being carried
by the steamship Hong Kong Maru. which
sailed from San Francisco, April 15. The
Honolulu Advertiser in double headline
in black type extending across the front
page announces the welcome news Com
menting on the action of the President the
Advertiser says:
Governor Dole is not only vindicnt ed
but his administration will stand hereafter
for the political ideas of the republican
President. All in all the conspiracy to re-
move the governor has been a most for
tunate incident, seeing what friends 1t has
made at Washington for him and for the
cause of good government in these islands.
'One of the best results to come of the
hearty Endorsement of Governor Dole by
President Roosevelt is the return of bust
ness confidence. Uncertainty on that point
has had most to do with the recent scare
among investors. The latter felt that il a
carpet bag governor and a spoils-seeking
legislature should conjoin with political
court, Hawaii would be good place to
nail from. But now the assurance that Dole
will stay and that Washington will back
MIN brings a sense Of relief to the tension
of finances and to the apprehensions of the
taxpayers.
Hawaii will now go ahead. There will
be no carnival Of spoils. no extra session,
no South Carolina epoch of addition, d.
vision and silence The only obstacle to
good government that remains is the first
circuit court, but that will be watched
from the White House, and in case the
court gives offense we know it's shrift will
be short. The President means to have no
disturbers of the peace on the federal pay
roll in these islands. So let the political
judges keep an eye to the windward."
