The Chicago papers of the current
week devote much space and time to
the wonderful growth of the adver-
Using business as a whole, and that
of Lord & Thomas, the well-known
Chicago agency, in particular, owing
to the retirement of Mr.. D. M. Lord,
the senior member of the firm, who
leaves active business life with a
rich competence. The business of
Lord & Thomas has been one of the
most aggressive and progressive of
its kind in the country, having in
recent years been under the active
management of Mr.. A. L. Thomas,
whose Judgment on advertising mat
tiers is considered as authoritative by
the vast body of publicity users. MI.
Thomas has succeeded Mr.. Lord to
the presidency and will continue at
the head of the firm. Mr. @. R. Err
win, the new Vice-President has been
connected with the company for 20
years and is therefore a veteran in
the field; associated with him and
Mr.. Thomas is Mr.. A. D. Lasker, the
Secretary and Treasurer. The new
offers will doubtless maintain the old
prestige of the company.

| read in one of my papers, publish
ed in Kansas, that the independent
tobacco retail dealers of New Eng
land have been notified by the To-
bacco Trust that they must not
handle tobacco made by any firm
outside the trust. / was also told
by a Virginia warehouseman who
claimed to have been on the inside,
that the American Tobacco Company
kept on secret files in its offices a list
of premiums grading upward to be
awarded respectively to the agents or
buyers who at the end of the season
could show the lowest average pur-
chase price of leaf.
I do not know this to be true, but
in all probability it is; at least it
looks so in the market down this
way.

the Alliance in Vance? And are you

Organizing Tobacco Growers.
Editors Progressive Farmer

since I became a subscriber. Was
especially entertained by the issue
of March 1. Now, as / am a to-
bacco farmer in a small way, I am
naturally most interested in the
timely question asked by DR.. Free
man, of Wilson: How are the to-
bacco farmers to be organized and
who is to do it?
Indeed, / do not pretend to know,
and am about to conclude that we,
as a whole, are the most pitiable set
of producers upon the face of the
earth. Truly the cotton and grain
farmers have some natural advan-
tages over us, but the greatest vic
tory that has come to them, as l be-
lieve, was born of a greater spirit of
brotherly love and kindness. There
seems to be something in the make
up of the producers of "food and
raiment," that stimulates them to
nobler and more fixed purpose than
we have been able so far to demon
strate.
However. we ought to do better,
and in fact, must do so, because ere
long, with the department of graft
which has crept into the tobacco
business, our houses and fields will
be left unto us desolate.
There are times when we might
be organized, and they are when
starvation and ruination stare us
boldly in the face, and demand the
last penny. Not particularly the
small farmer, for bankruptcy to him,
as a rule, is daily fare; but the we'll
TODD farmer who, if he would, could
easily fling aloft the banner of his
own success and lead legions of his
less fortunate brethren to a glorious
overcoming.
But it is only when it was his OK
that was gored that the farmers
could be permanently and thoroughly
organized.
/ have been so often engaged in an
effort to organize ourselves, and be-
ing anxious to divine Alright the poll
cies of men with whom I have been
associated, I am thus often reminded
of a little poem which runs like
this:
When the devil was sick, the devil
a saint would be,
When the devil got well, the devil of
a saint was he.
Indeed, brother tobacco farmers,
it is a burning shame that we have
allowed our tobacco invoices to be
converted into lottery tickets. There
is no apparent reason why the prices
of particular grades of tobacco
should not be as stable as that of
stated grades of cotton. And just
at this point I would suggest that
the surest way to attain this end is,
for the farmers of this and other
States to rise up in their majestic
power and demand laws at the hands
of orr LEGISLATORS that will regulate

Collector of Customs Stackable has
been notified by Secretary Cortelyou to
guard against possible loss of life or
excursion steamers during the summer
vacation season. The Secretary has
notified all Collectors of Customs that
during the summer season when large
numbers of passengers are carried on
the regular and excursion steamrs. and
owing to complaints that often steam
ers carry passengers largely in excess
of the number allowed by their certi-
ficates of inspection, or by their ex-
cursion permits. it is demanded that the
Government officers concerned shall
take special precautions to prevent the
overcrOwding of steamers. The Col
lectors are therefore notified to in
struct their subordinates to make care
full examination of steamers, especially
on Sundays, and particularly on July
Fourth and other important National
or Territorial holidays.

HEADING THIS WAY

There is a general movement OF
American-Hawaiian steamships head
ing toward Honolulu, all believed to
have big cargoes aboard for island
ports. AT least four freighters of this
line are preparing to sail this month
from San Francisco and Puget Sound
for Honolulu. Such a hegira of steam
vessels is certain to have a bad in
fiuence on wind-jammers.

Puget Sound for Honolulu on June IA
The steamship American is being ad-
vertised to sail from Puget Sound for

The steamship Nebraskan arrived at
10 after a fine voyage of fifty-four days,
via the Horn, in which about $500 bar
rels of oil We're consumed. The vessel
carries 800 barrels of oil for use, so
had plenty to spare on arrival. The
trip of the Nebraskan is regarded as
an example of the development of OIL
burners on steamers, as the machinery
is said not to have been out of order
the entire trip. The officers We're ex-
ceptionally well pleased with the Me-
braskan's performance.
After discharging at San Francisco,
the Nebraskan viii proceed to Portland
and there load for Honolulu, sailing for
