The Outlook for the Crop Of 1904.
For The SENTINEL.
There are those of our people who
are counting on a large crop for this
year, l submit few observations
upon the subject, which, of course,
only apply to this locality and to ter
ritories laboring under similar condi-
ti0ns. 1t is now the last of March and
no corn to speak Of planted. and not
much pl0wing done: the rows are full
Of water. and the chances are we will
have wet spring. II pl0wing is done
wet 1t means a failure; If farmers wait
for dry weather it means a late crop,
which is a very doubtful quantity.
People as general rule have laid off a
large crop to the hands and to their
teams; the country is elated at the
prices, and many have lost their
heads. Prosperity is not an unmixed
blessing: it requires to stand it, COOL
ness, level headedness and self denial.
Have our people got these qualities? .?
The indications now do not point that
way, but to extravaganza, if not reck-
lessness.
On the other hand, low priced COT
ton or adversely calls for endurance,
patience and economy. The records
OF the Chancery Clerks offices over the
State, ! dare say, will show more
mortgages paid off at six cents cotton
thon at fifteen: more debts incurred
at eighteen cent cotton than at five
cent cotton. =.
Such men as Messrs. Sully, Brown,
ct al. have been curse to the country.
They have inflated the markets and
proved unable to maintain the high
level. There are other things against

COMMENDS THE RESOLUTIONS
Letter from a Prominent NEGRO
Educator of Arkansas.

ed Confederate Veterans
For the Bold and Manly Resolutions on
the LynchinS Question.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, March '21, 1904.
The Commander of the w. r. Barks-
dale Camp, United Confederate Vet
erans, Grenada, Miss.
Sir:-To-day's press reports contain
a set OF anti-lynching resolutions
adopted by the w. r. Barksdale Camp
Of United Confederate Veterans OF
your city.
Throughout the South wherever the
resolutions are read by Negroes, a
feeling OF gratitude will be kindled in
their breasts for the stand which YOU
are taking for law and order. But no
Negro has a right to rejoice over your
actions in the premises who is not
willing to preach a crusade to their
people against the crimes which pro-
duce lynchings. No Negro who has
not stood for the observance of all
laws on the part of his race has the
right to plead for mercy for the Ne
gro criminal who offends against con-
stituted society. believe that in an
humble way, I have added the widows
might to the labors of those negro
leaders whose achievements make
them greater than I can ever hope to
be, and who are spending their lives
in trying to help you white men put
down crime among the people of our
race. This, I believe, gives me the
right to rejoice over the action of your
Camp, and I take this method of ex-
tending to that organization the graf
itude OF the students and teachers of
this school; and I shall take up anew

SOME SUMMER SPORT

Santos-Dumont, the Belgian invent
or will bring his airship over to Amer
lea this month to compete for the prize
of 100000 offered by the transporta-
ton department of the st. Louis fair
to the aeronaut whose ship attains q
speed Of twenty miles an hour. The in
terest that any sport arouses is in d.
rect proportion to the peril involved.
While it is true that comparatively few
people have lost their lives in aerial
navigation experiments, it is also true
that but few Of those experiments
have been made. The mere knowledge
that should an accident occur when
the ship is high above ground, it is
certain to be both terrific and dramatic
adds interest," of course, to such a con-
test as that contemplated at st. Louis
The airship which Santos-Dumont will
bring over with him has recently been
fitted out with a number of new an
phances, among them motor which is
just six feet removed from the balloon
containing 1900 cubic meters Of in
fammable gas. Somebody has wisely
pointed out that the chief defect of all
airships heretofore invented Is their
tendency to descend prematureIy.
Should the gas in the Belgian's balloon
explode, there would, OF course, be
premature finish to his trip. but not
premature descent On the contrary.
it Is probable that the st. Louis public
would not be able to retain even the
tiniest souvenir of this flight for a
prize. Santos -Dumont would stay up
forever.
But the airship is not the only ex-
citing summer sport that may be wit
messed on this side of the Atlantic. It
is merely first in Importance. Thanks
to our bad roads, ross-country racing
in automobiles is still confined to the
other side of the pond, but more of the
devil wagons" will be driven this sea-
son than ever before and naturally the
fast riding win be attended by many
casualties. Next to aerial navigation,
automobiling is the most fearful pleas
ure modern man can indulge in, al
though yacht racing presses it hard
for vantage. Automobiling differs from
the other two sports in the respect
that It Is a menace not only to the man
who 4ndulges In 1t. but to the inof-
fensive pedestrian as well. However, il
all pedestrians should become as Of
fensive as the one who SHE'D a stone

through the streets of New York the
other day, there will be no question of
the superiority of the auto over the

EAkEs AND EAkERs

The morning papers of the Twin
Cities. with the exception OF The
Globe yesterday printed a story from
ST. Cloud telling OF the dramatic sui
atrical venture. The same story reach
ed The Globe office. 1t did not
look right; 1t bore some of the ear
marks of the press agent of coarse
methods. The coroner of Stearns coun-
ty was called by distance tele-
phone and the suspicion verified:
There had been no suicide in St. Cloud.
Newspapers which permit takers to
impose upon them and their readers
have not much title to sympathy in
these days when the means of verif-
cation, except in communicating with
very remote points. are so ample, but
that fact does not detract from the al
most criminal act Of the man who per-
petrates a fake for the mere purpose of
securing cheap and sensational adver-
tising
The travelling dramatic agent is the
principal offender in the exploitation
of fakes that carry with them publicity
for play or player. Generally his
outgivings are harmless, frequently
they are readable. But every year he
finds 1T becoming more difficult to i'm
pose fakes upon newspapers. It may
be that the newspaper conscience is
quicker than it was. Possibly the ed
itor is developing to a greater extent
the essentially human dislike to being
imposed upon. Certain 1t is that every
respectable newspaper desires to pro-
tect its readers from the faker. The
misguided activity Of the press agent
has cost the theatrical profession much
in the way Of legitimate publicity. One
Of the consequences Of this strict su-
pervision Of news affecting plays and
players is the resort by the press agent
to sensational inventions like the one
sent out from ST. Cloud.
The press and the public are entitled
to protection from the faker. The
newspaper may protect itself in some
measure-and the respectable and de-
pendable newspaper always does So
by Furnishing by whatever means lies
in its power the faker who imposes
on it. But the law should provide some
adequate penalty for the faker, wheth-
er he be layman or connected with the
press. The necessity for rapid work In
handling the news sometimes makes It
impossible to investigate fully a story
that bears the impress of truth and
yet may be a fake, and against
contingency Of this sort the publisher
and the public should be protected.
The fact that the st. Cloud story was
not investigated by the papers which
gave it publicity is regrettable, but
that does not at all qualify the offense
of the faker or takers.

which those In charge Of the travelling
library have to solve is how to reach

seem that the Wisconsin commission
had solved it by selecting the wagon.
For even were 1t possible to persuade
the government to adopt the library post
plan-that is, the plan Of passing public
books through the mails as second
class matter-this would not bring to
the farmers very door a choice assort-
ment of books from which he could
make his selection.
Aside from its apparent practicable
ity, there is something decidedly pic

bring the city, or a portion of it, into

Abel Gabiniska is under restraint
in Chicago, the police having taken
him in the act Of looking for a fat
man whom he proposed to kill. He
explains his fatal objection by saying
that he is under instructions to kill
five fat and prosperous looking men.
The man is mad.
He labors under the delusion that
fat is evidence of prosperity. The par
ticular school Of anarchy Of which
Gabiniska is a graduate should revise
it's teachings. II Gabiniska and his
fellow graduates should attempt to
carry out scheme for the rehabili-
tation Of society and the redistribution
Of wealth according to the propa-
ganda Of John Most and the philoso-
piers OF his school, and. with that end
in view. kill off all the fat men, they
would simply snuff the life spark cut
Of an enormous amount of adfpose tis-
sue without getting at the segregated
unearned increment. The round paunch
Is not always lined with capon.
In behalf Of a long suffering and
much abused member Of the commu-
nifty we protest against this anarchist
propaganda which has marked the fat
man as plutocratic enemy to society.
Of late years 1t has become the fash
ion to typify the Millionaire as a stout
party with side whiskers and four
chins. The cartoonist is directly re-
sponsible for the present situation of
the fat man. AS a matter OF fact the
average fat man Is not engaged
O. nights in concealing the money he
has wrung from the brow OF labor. He
doesn't do much wrfnging anyway.
He Is generally peaceful individual
with a disposition to let things slip
along and only busy In getting the
wherewith to furnish his table, with
some slight surplus to be used on
physical culture professors who en-
gage to reduce his flesh.
The anarchist Is on the wrong scent.
The Rockefeller family would not yield
enough fat to make one bar of soap.
Russell Sage is so thin that the apple
he eats for lunch makes his clothes
bulge. The Yanderbilts are mere
shadows.
When the Chicago authorities get
through fixing Mr.. Gabiniska's head he
should be furnished with a diagram
showing the extreme financial fatness
OF the thin man and the lean and hun
cry pecuniary condition OF the fat
man, to the end that the time and am
munitlon of the anarchists may not be
wasted and In order that the fat man
may be permitted to continue to re-
joice the eye and add amplitude to the
scenery.
