ITO the American People:
.'Tae Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Association has been organized to
take I'D the long-neglected duty OF
erecting fitting memorial to the
memory of the man who wrote the
Declaration of independence. We
have here beautiful and costly trib-
utes to the memory of American SOL
diers, statesmen, physicians, invent
ors and philanthropists: and the SOL
diers and sailors of France are hon.
ored; but there is not one tablet to
the memory Of that great American.
Thomas Jefferson.
I'VE ask the people to contribute ac-
cording to their ability to this memo
rial. Congress will not be asked for
money, as we rely solely upon the
people, the young and the old. the
children and their parents for the sue
cess Of the movement. The character
and cost of the proposed memorial
cannot be stated. but it will be appro-
pirate to the greatness Of the man and
the importance of the document from
which his name is inseperable. Rigid
economy will be observed in the eX-
penses Of carrying on the work.
Every contributor will receive a
certificate acknowledging his subscrip-
tion and carrying with it membership
in the association. In time to come
those certificates will be badges OF
homer.
Contributions, checks. money or
ders. or drafts should be made paya-

Ey far the most important matter to

March 4th. The legislature being
strongly Democratic in both branches,
Mr.. Pr:tchard could not hope to succeed
himself The candidates most promi-

marked, probably owing to the want

remarkable increase is also observable
in offenses against officials and against

DR.. Edward Everett Hale has made
a list of all the words he could dis

spoken over the greater part of the

the public to tell him of any other
such words of which they may know.
He is looking not merely for words
that are in current use everywhere in
America, but also for those that are
ineligible only in special localities.
Some of DR.. Hale's words are good
old stand-bys of our popular speech.
We find in the list, for instance, hub
bub, hominy', moccasin, mugwump,
moose, pappoose, powwow, sachem,
sycamore, sasSafras, skunk squaw,
squash ,succotash, ,toboggan, tomahawk,
wampum and wigwam. Others are
less familiar, such as musquash, mean

samp, maize broken or crushed for

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1908.

OPPOSITION Ever since organiza-
TO THE ton of the Cotton
ROUND BALE Buyers Association in
Arkansas the ques-
tion is being asked why the
association starts out with
boycott of the round bale. The
Graphic does not know, and has en-
deavored to find out, and the reason
given is that the round bale is in the
hands of trust. 1t is alleged that no
part of the machinery for a round bale
compress can be purchased. Whether
this latter charge is true or not the
Graphic does not know. 1t was charged
by the opposition to Senator Jones in
the Jones Clarke campaign that the
machinery for making the round bale
could not be purchased, but the manu-
facturers denied the charge and Of
fered to sell to any body who wanted
to buy. It seems that there were no
buyers. At least, if the company was
blufflng nobody seems to have called
the bluff.
Admit, however, that the company
manufacturing the round bale ma.
chimes will not sell them, but only
lease them, there is one thing sure
they must lease the machines at
rate that will enable the round bale
to successfully meet the competition
of the square bale, and unless they
do. no round bale machines will be
operated.
The Hope Gazette in discussing this
matter says:
TO enc who looks on from dis
tance there seoms to be 3ner2 iii tie
organization of Cotton Buyers. asso-
There are some things in it which in
dicate that there is a strong compress
influence behind or i'll front OF the
movement, and possibly the tie monop-
DIV also has some interest in the sue
cess of the movement If by this or
ganization all the country buyers can
i,,tf,
change in the present wasteful style
OF handhnc cotton. much Will be ac-
ccnDlished Ey t Osc who have money
invested in congresses and compress
machinery.
The Graphic is opposed to trusts,
hut il is not every corporation that Is
a lrl.st 4 trust seeks to control the
entire output CT Il certain thlng anu
the round bale ruople can not control
the entire to.aHress business OF the
couelry except as they may do the
compress t"alnces at less cost TO
those who make business for the COM
presses.
At present it seems ~ the Graphic
that the square bale is controlled by a
trust, and that the trust proposes to
prevent all competition. and in its
determination to prevent competition
the trust is receiving the aid Of the
cotton buyers.
