A TOBACCO LEAK. TOO.

The tobacco growers have a real
grievance against the government re-
port as we'll as the cotton growers.
They will find it harder. however, to
growers because in the manufacturing
and export world Cotton is King.
1t is charged by the growers that
the government has been issuing OPP
timistic reports, whereas the real con-
ditions show great deterioration.
These reports, the planters further af-
firm, issue from and are governed by
the tobacco trust for the purpose of
deluding producers and securing the
advantage of the manufacturer in
every respect.
The tobacco farmers not only have
to war against worms and the ele-
ments, but they have to sell their crop
in a market where the trust largely
controls the price. 1t seems that the
trust has been able to cover its tracks
in part by issuing optimistic reports
which would justify putting down the
prices and attributing the reduction to
1.-The very large crop" The tobacco
farmers may not be able in this trust
ridden decade to get rid of the trust
exactions, but they have a right to de-
mand square deal from the govern

THE, WINGS Do NOT FIT.

Mr.. Bonaparte, the new Secretary
of the Navy, has started out well. He
has returned the passes sent him by
the railroads and reversed a scan
dalous order made by his predecessor,
Secretary Morton. In both instances
he acted the part of a right thinking
public official. The facts in the case
of his reversing Morton are thus
stated by the New York Evening Post:
1T was extremely unkind of Sec
rotary Bonaparte to give his predeces-
sor, Paul Morton, black eye in the
matter of the Charlestown navy yard
scandal. The facts are perfectly
clear. Two young civil engineers. w.
G. Walker and F. r. Harris. made it
very uncomfortable for the New York
Continental Jewel Filtration Company
by insisting that its wor kat the navy
yard be up to the contract standard.
Secretary Bonaparte is satisfied that
the company finally went TO work to
secure the removal. through political
influence, of these Vigilant inspectors,
apparently taking the ground-with
many another contractor-that gov
eminent work may be just what you
please TO make il. When the politi
cal influence reached that master of
railroad rebates, Paul Morton, he at
once acquiesced in the company'S
wishes, and issued an order removing
Lieutenants Harris and Walker from
their posts and transferring them else
where Mr.. Morton thus served no.
tice on the entire navy that, when ii
came to standing by honest inspectors
or easy-going contractors, the latter
had the support of the department.
Secretary Bonaparte at once per-
ceived what a demoralizing effect
upon the whole navy this action
would have. and has now promptly
reversed it in an opinion which should
make Paul Morton hang his head, and
President Roosevelt wish that he had
not been so hasty in adjusting wings
and a halo to his beloved but not re-
GREETED, ex-secretary of the navy.
That incident and the illegally Civ
ing of rebates illustrates the sort of
man Mr.. Morton was as public and
a railroad official. Is a man who is
guilty of such violations of law and
such wrongs to the public service the
sort of man to be put in charge of the
Equitable, which has been injured by,
practices of somewhat the same sort?
Mr. Morton was known to be friend
of Cleveland and Roosevelt's coat of
whitewash was glistening on him when
he went to New York to reform the
Equitable Who will reform Morton.
Did Alexander or Depew or Hyde. do
anything more indefensible than Nor
ton? Is it not clear that the interests
that selected Morton wish the gigantic
surplus and capital to be controlled
by 1.-The System of which RYAN and
his associates are at the head ~
The new directors, if they are to
really direct, ought to put at the head
a man who has never violated the
rebate law or been guilty of favoring
contractors at the expense of the pub
lie service.
The Evening Post is right. Roose-
Welt ought to wish 'he had not been
so hasty in adjusting wings and
halo upon a man with Morton's rec
ord" The wings do not fit.
