LIVESTOCK CONVENTION.

T HE SECRETARY OF the National
Livestock association has issued
his call for the annual meeting Of that
organization, which is TO be held at
Portland on Jan. - Is. IA and Is. 1t is
sure that no meeting ever held by the
association has been Of more impor-
lance than the one which is TO be held
IN Portland Aside from the matters
which viii be of interest to stockmen
exclusively, the question of the estab-
lishment Of an independent packing
plant or plants will be discussed, per-
haps definitely settled.
This is a matter of far more than or
binary interest to the public. as well as
to the owners and breeders of livestock.
1t is a well known fact that Tor months,
through the operation of the packers
trust. the price of cattle and sheep and
swine on the hoof has been steadily de-
preciating Especially is this true Of
cattle. During all this time no reduc-
ton has been made In the price Of
dressed meats to the consumer. On the
contrary. people are paying more today
for their meats than they have ever
paid.
This state Of affairs has become in
tolerable to the men composing the Ma
tionaI Livestock association, an organ
ization representing an industry worth
several billions of dollars. They say
they are not getting a fair division of
the profits, and they are right; they
say that when the prices of animals on
the hoof are cut down the packed prod
uct should be cut down also. And real
! ly there is no excuse for the existing
conditions except the lax enforcement
Of the antitrust statutes.
There is a way by which the evil may
| be remedied and the livestock men
| think they know what it is. They pro-
! pose to form a great company, coop
/ erative to some extent. which will COM
/ pete with the meat trust. This com
/ pany viii erect a packing plant as soon
I as the necessary funds can be secured
/ and, from the present temper Of those
/ interested, # viii not be hard to raise
( the money. The new plant viii COM
/ pete with the trust, paying fair prices
! for cattle and sheep and swine and I'M
! derselling the trust in the dressed meat
market.
AS a matter Of course the plan viii
meet with fierce opposition from the
combination now in control of the mar
lzets. The path of the new company
VIII be beset with difficulties for many
months and years, but, by the exercise
Of patience and persistence, It can win
for it win have the support Of the PEG
pie.

MOODY TO RESIGN.
May Soon ReIinquish the Naval
Portfolio.

Washington, Sept 6.-The resignai
ton of Secretary of the Navy w. H.
Moody is expected within the near fu-
ture by those here conversant with
official secrets. The assertion that ne
will soon relinQuish the naval port
folio comes from such reliable sources
as to merit consideration.
During the past few months Secre-
tary Moody's prospective retirement
has frequently been intimated. He
has made no secret Of desire to re-
sumo the practice of law. The resiG-
nation of Secretary Root gives an op-
portunity for Mr. Moody to pursue a
similar course 1t is limited here that
Secretary Moody may be much dis
pleased at the action OF President
Roosevelt in granting a three years
leave of absence to Commander Peary
for Arctic explorations after Secretary
Moody had refused his request and
in the navy department.
The president went directly over MI
Moody's head and through Acting Sec
retary Darling commended Command
er Peary and approved OF his desire
to go north again.
The probable successor OF Mr
Moody is uncertain. Former Gov. VIII
liam Murray Crane of Massachusetts
is regarded as sure of first choice, the
president having long sought to pro
cure the services of Gov. Crane as 9
cabinet officer. He was offered the
treasury portfolio, but declined.
Neyt tn Gov Crane the president
would like to have Senator George G
Perkins at the head of the navy de
partment. Senator Perkins was OF
fered the place when Mr.. Long re
signed, but would not relinquish his
seat in the senate.
Mr.. Darling, the present assistant
secretary, is regarded as a strong pos
sibility.

Altoona, Pa, Sept. THE Pennsyl'

1t has ordered locomotives from
France, Germany, Russia and England
for exhibition purposes at the st. Louis
Worlds fair next year, and may In
clude engines from Japan and Italy In
the exhibit The Pennsylvania is MAX
ing the exhibit to show the superiority
of it's locomotives over the foreign
work and incidentally to pick up any
of the good points that they may pos
sess. After the fair the engines will
be put into service on the different d.
visions of the road under charge of ex-
perts. to determine their relative ca
pacity with the standard locomotive OF
the road. Each engine will go to di-
vision In turn and will be tested and
then sent to some other point. Records
of work of each machine will be kept,
and thus the company will know ex-
actly in what the foreign engines ex-
eel the American ones or on what
point they fail.

CONGRESS TO MEET
ON NOVEMBER 8.
Special Session for the Considera-
tion of a New Currency Bill.
ROOSEVELT APPROVES PLAN
Programme Includes q Disposition
ON Some Basis of the Question
of the Cuban Reciprocity
Problem.

Washington, Sept Information
which is considered reliable says that
congress will be called In special ses-
sion November to consider remedial
currency legislation and other import
ant matters.
The information comes from sucn
sources as to indicate President Roose-

Is now believed that Secretary Shaw's
speech in Chicago, in which he out
lined his currency plan, was nothing
more nor less than the visit and the
speech of missionary. designed to
draw forth public and private comment
before final action is taken toward put
ting the programme into actual effect.
This programme for currency legis-
lation includes the following points,:
First. removal of the provision limit
ing the retirement of national bank
notes to $3,000,000 per month; second.
amendment to currency laws to per-
nit banks to issue SO per cent. OF their
outstanding circulation secured by
bonds at six per cent. interest; third,
reserve fund to guarantee redemp-
ton, to be created by this six-per-cent.
paid to the government; fourth, GUS
toms receipts to be deposited with the
governments national bank -deposl-
tories, as internal revenue receipts are
now: fifth, the secretary Of the treas
ury to deposit treasury funds with
banks whenever in his judgment. IT Is
necessary to prevent financial string
ency. The two latter changes can De
made, it is believed, without legisla-
ton. but are to be part OF the gen.
eral currency scheme. Among the otn-
er matters scheduled for consideration
is Cuban reciprocity, which will be
recommended again by the president.
The plan as outlined is not the plan
or the scheme Of any particular indi-
vidual or any particular set OF politi-
clans, financiers or bankers, but 1t Is
held to be the consensus of opinion OF
every interest in the country. While
II does not meet the radical views or
some bankers who apparently desire
to use any currency reform as mon
ey-making proposition for their insti-
tutions, it has been approved by some
| of the leading financiers of the country,
who say they do not favor any plan
that means mere money-making ma
chine for the banks, but rather stand
| for some reform that will actually re-
lieve the nation from currency en-
barrassment at times when crops are
under movement. They want system
which can not possibly be used with
profit for purposes of financial or spec.
ulatiYe imitation.

DIED FOR SCIENCE.
Silent Tragedy Tells the Story OF
Younu CHICAGO Martyr.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 7.-Sitting in a
pillow banked reclining arm chair,
with his hands folded, the body of DR..
K o. Austin, young physician, whose
future was promising, was found in
his office in the Stewart building this
morning.
On a desk within arms reach OF the
heavy green plush chair in which the
physician died, lay three empty gela-
tin capsules, vial of hydrocyanic
acid, and dropper sucn as Is used by
physicians and surgeons.
At first it was thought to be case
of suicide. The police state that the
Young physician was using the deadly
drug for another purpose than to de-
stroy life. They say DR.. Austin, who
was known to have been the victim OF
a chronic aff1iction, was experimenting
in the hope of finding cure, and bore
in mind the effect his hoped-for dis
covery would have upon the medical
profession in general.
Recently the physician stated to a
friend that he was experimenting with
some powerful and decidedly danger
Gus drugs with which he hoped to cure
a chronic affliction which enslaved
hundreds. DR.. Austin was 3S years
old. He had been practicing in the
Stewart block seven months.

School Terms.

State Superintendent OF Educa-
ton Whitfield last week sent out
a circular to the boards of super
visors of all the counties in the
State urging upon them the addi-
tional tax levy for the purpose OF
extending the school terms.
Superintendent Whitfield has just
finished a thorough campaign of the
State, made for the purpose of
sounding the sentiment of the peo-
pie On the subject of school extern
sion by additional taxation. He
has had an able corps of educators
in the field with him for several
months, and the question has been
thoroughly discussed in all Of its
phases in nearly every county.
Many counties have acted by order
ing the additional levy necessary to
maintain the schools for a longer
term, and Mr.. Whitfield hopes to
have all of the white counties, at
least, follow this example.
In his circular to the boards of su-
pervisors, just sent out, Superin-
tendent Whitfield sets forth in brief,
succinct paragraphs the reasons
upon which he bases his appeal for
the additional school levy.
1. That the people are in favor Of
the movement, in his judgment. He
bases this opinion upon the splendid
success of his recent campaign, in
which he says e vote was taken In
every audience on the question and
not one single vote was cast against,
while over 10000 votes were cast for
the levy.
2. Schools are of supreme impor-
tance, and should have precedence
over roads, bridges and other county
improvements. History shows that
the development of a State is the de-
velopment of It's schools.
8. The movement is in general ia
vor all over the South. Last year
twenty-four counties in Mississippi
voted to levy school taxes, and fifteen
others will fall into line this year.
Six counties submitted the matter to
the people, and it was carried by a
vote of to l in all of them. Coun'
ties having the longer terms will at
tract the best teachers, and the 9th
ers will suffer accordingly.
4. The records show that the aver
age attendance Is better in counties
with long terms than in those that
have short terms.
5. The longer term does not inter
fere with farm work. If the larger
boys have to stop in the plowing sea
son, they should have a better school
while they can attend. All the girls
and smaller boys have a full term
and they have more education when
they have to stop to go to work.
5. The negroes do not get one cent
of this tax paid by white people. II the
negroes be given credit for the taxes
they pay, plus their share of the taxes
paid by corporations, 1t will more
than pay for their schools on the
present basis.

FUTURE DELIVERY.
Georgia Planters Selling Their Cotton
in Advance


Savannah, Ca, Sept 7-More farm
ers in Georgia are selling their cotton
this year for future delivery than ever
before. In the middle section of the
State thousands of bales have been
sold at slightly above twelve cents a
pound for delivery in October and No
vember. Mill men from all sections
of the country have representatives
here for the purpose of buying cotton
in this manner.
This is largely q new proposition to
the farmer who raises cotton. He has
been accustomed to finding out how
much he can get for his product after
it has reached the public square OF his
market town, and to sell from forty to
sixty days in advance Is decided in
novation. Most of those approached
have been content to sell for twelve
cents or little beyond that figure, but
12.3S has been a popular price.
Savannah factors advise the ad-
vance sales. There is money in cot
ton at the figures offered for it. At
twelve cents pound the farmer
makes at least $25 clear on each bale
marketed.
1t is estimated that the farmers OF
Georgia will receive s75,000,000 for
their cotton crop this season, against
about $50,000,000 last season. Labor
is plentiful and the cotton can be got
ten out of the fields in quick time.

redths at twelve stations /:

Cotton has made good growth in
the northern and delta counties.
Rust, shedding and some worms are
reported from all parts of the State,
but are not damaging the crop Sc
riously, except in southern counties
where the condition of cotton has
deteriorated for the last two weeks.
The crop continues from three to
four weeks late and requires favor
able weather and a late fall to make
good yield. Open bolls are re-
ported in almost all counties and
picking has begun as far north as
kemper county, but is not general
vet. The weather has been very fa-
vorable for fodder pulling and hay
ing, which have progressed rapidly
in all parts, and much fodder and
hay have been saved in fine shape.
Corn, both old and young, is fine.
Pastures, peavine hay, cane, pota-
toes and turnips continue to be very
promising.
