POWER IN ORGANIZATION.

When cotton struck the low price
of five cents, the whole world appre-
ciated the fact that cotton farmers
could not live at that starvation price.
The price has now been hammered
down to seven cents and yet the WORLD
feels that the farmer is getting better
returns for his labor than in 1894
when he was paid five cents. AS
matter Of fact, seven cents i'll 1904
is no more than five cents in 1894
when the cost of living, the price of
labor, and all other conditions are con-
sidere',. The farmer who makes his
own supplies can live better than then
tres the market price of theJ chickens
and eggs his family consume he is no
BETTER off as to cotton than in the
period when he had to sell his cotton
for five cents. 1t is in the power OF the
Southern farmers to quit selling cotton
at starvation prices by reducing the
acreage. 1t is a shame that men must
grow less crops to be prosperous. but
history shows that the farmers get
more money for a nine million bale
crop than for crop of eleven million
bales. Therefore it behooves the farm
ers not to raise that extra two or
three million bale crop, but to grow
homo supplies and a 100000 bale
crop OF cotton.

with them, for "the farmer feeds us
ALL" The better conditions in the
South of late years are largely due to
the fact that cotton farmers are
prosperous, II they are able to sell
their cotton at remunerative prices
every interest in the South is helped;
for, though the South is diversifying
its products, Cotton is still King.

SHOULD TAKE NO CHANCES.

Senator Cullom denies that there Is
anything in the arbitration treaties
that could affect the repudiated claims
against the Southern States. He says:
mo one wants to enforce the payment
of those internal bonds" In that ne is
mistaken. Very powerful syndicates
have been buying up these bonds and
they earnestly want to enforce the
payment' and if they can find an
entering wedge they will do it. Con-
tinuing, Senator Cullom, who is chair
man of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee and anxious for the ratification
of the treaties, says: whenever We
are about to do anything some DEM
ocrat hobs up with an objection. but
this objection from the South does
not apply to these arbitration trea-
ties. How can we be forced TO ar
bitrate something that our courts
have decided we have no law TO en-
force? The treaties Only provide
that arbitration may be resorted to
in certain cases, but our objection to
arbitration would be sufficient to
prevent such a course There is
nothing in the objection raised. The
decision of the Supreme Court in the
North Carolina case does not apply
All of which sounds very well eX-
cept the initial sentence which con-
tains fling at the South. Senator
Cullom is correct in saying that the
decision in the North Carolina SUI
preme Court does not apply, but who
knows that it may not be letting down
the gap?
The Senators from the Southern
States should take no chances and
should be sure there is no Trojan
horse in the treaties before giving
their support.

badges at a social gathering not linn
tied to believers in secession?
Let us hope that long before the
last ex-Confederate soldier passes
away, there will be no desire or
room within the restored Union,' or
anywhere outside of it, for "drap-
ings composed of many Cor any
Confederate and American flags"
Is it Haunting the flag" to use it
in decorations on a social occasion !?
These writer's would not have written
in this vein if they could live in the
South six months and get the view
point of the women who use the flag
for social and like occasions. They
recognize that the government it rep
resented has passed away forever,
and they cherish no intention to take
up arms to reopen the question for
ever settled by the arbitrament of the
sword. "Bitterness''-wh bless
your soul, only kindness and love for
all mankind dwells in the hearts of
these good women, who have learned
breadth and charity in the hard
school of suffering. They live to
carry out the law of kindness, with
hearts that are strangers to bitter
ness.

THERE is NO BITTERNESS.

The New York Globe hearing that
the Daughters of the Confederacy
would give ball in New York city.
and decorate with Confederate flags
made this statement:
ut is lamentable that the bitter
ness of war seems to rankle in the
hearts OF Southern women"
That editor knew little of the feel
ing of Southern women, Their love
for the flag Of the Confederacy is
part of the love for their husband.
brother or son who died fighting
under it's folds, whose shroud in
many cases was the Stars and Bars.
There is no scintilla of bitterness
in the love they bear for that flag.
1t is a tender memory to them-a
sacred memory of a Lost Cause. An
ex-Union soldier, like the New York
editor, has also misconceived the
feeling of Southern women, for writ
ing to the Globe he says:
Never so long as the difference
between preservation and destruction
is appreciated, can the Confederate
cause, the iued Oh IT'S government, OF
sympathy with it, be acknowledged
as civic virtue in any one profess
sing allegiance to state or national
government under the American flag.
And it seems to us that it is about
time that local sentiment somewhere
should enter a public and unmistak-
able protest against all forms of So
cial functions under the auspices of
so-called Confederate" organizations
not limited to believers in secession,
anG particularly when it attempts or
promises to do so in part or the
whole under the emblem of the union
with 'drapings of many Cor any,
Confederate and American fiaes.'
I'VE would repeat the question: is
it not somewhat indecorous for them
to fiaunt the flag of the extinct
Southern Confederacy in this loyal
city and to wear their Confederate

NO NEpoTIsM, GENTLEMEN.

Until the fusion legislature inaug-
urated the scheme of giving the posi-
tions of page to sons of the members
it had been the custom to name the
sons of widows or other deserving
boys who needed the money the
places paid. During that horrid
nightmare of Fusion rule, the legis-
lators grabbed everything in sight for
themselves and their sons And since
then some Democrats have followed
the bad example.
There are not many places in the
gift of the Legislature-very few in
fact. These should not be monopo-
lied by the family of legislators. If any
member of the General Assembly of
1905 has thought of asking to have
his son made a page, our advice is
Don't" Give the boy something
else and let these positions be given

helpless 200 feet below, a mother
watched her little daughter as she
chung for life to a crag that jutted
from the side of the. Palisades. The
child, descending the cliff, had fallen
and In her fall had grasped the sharp
rock and hung there alternately crying
for aid and %reassuring her parent, who,
half crazed, watched from below. The
little girl was Eileen Burns of Fort
Lee. The Burns family lives in a cot
tage at the base of the Palisades. See
ing the grief of her mother as rescue
failed, the child called out to her par
ent: Don't cry, mamma. l have said
a prayer, and God will help me-" When
William Huber, a neighbor, appeared,
he quickly climbed to the top of the
Palisades by a nearby footpath and at
the risk of his own life descended to
the point where the child was. On
hands and knees he made his way
down the Palisades and with difficulty
reached the little girl and bore her to
