JAIL ASKED.

In his latest instructions to United
States attorneys, Attorney General
Moody urges that they endeavor to OBJ
tain jail sentences for men convicted
of %unlawfully giving rebates. The new
order is believed to be a significant
move on the part of the administration.
II a few of the rebaters are compelled
to go to jail they will be a little more
careful about obeying the law in the
future.
In his instructions to his district at
torneys Mr.. Moody says:

University Notes


The entire hour of assembly was
today by the senior term
Instead of the usual pro-
gram there was a set debate, the ques-
ton being. Resolved, That the Chi
nese exclusion act should not be re-
pealed.' The speakers on the affirm
alive were Misses Grimes, Peabody
and Mcintosh; those on the negative,
Messrs. A. Nelson and B. Nelson. The
debate was decided in favor Of the
negative by a vote of three to two.
The judges were Profs. Downey, Soule,
Nelson and Brown and Rev. Hogbin.
All the speakers showed by their
pointed remarks that they had given
the question earnest study and
thought. Before the debate began
the university orchestra rendered a
beautiful selection. During the entire
performance the juniors sat in the
'bald-headed" row with colors flying
and quietly consuming delicious stick
candy.

Mr.. EDIToK:-Please publish
the following extracts from a
speech delivered in the House of
Representatives on January 18th
by the Hon William 9. Lowering,
q congressman from Massachu setts
who is-a great cotton manufactur>
Ier. Let the farmers read it and
see what some OF the spinners are
expecting thom to do-then let
them proceed to show Mr. Lovor-
Ing and all who think like HIM
whether or not they will hold
their cotton and cut the acreage:
1.-The spinners of the world have
already taken eight-tenths of their
years consumption of American
cotton, and 1t will require hardly
two and half million bales more
to carry them to the next crop.
They will take their time and
pick this Sp at their leisure, know
ing that after they have taken all
they need there will he as much
more left to be carried over.
"some of tho planters, in the
first flush of disappointment ar
not receiving a high price for their
cotton, may withhold it, but As
sure as the sun sets il is going to
be for sale.
elf they can not get s cents
they will take less. If they can
not get 7 cents they will take less.
If they can not get 6 cents they
will take less.
"The spinner realizes this, and
knows perfectly we'll it would be
better for him to let the shrinkage
and all carrying over charges be
borne by the planter.
"Cotton is not low today. 1t is
only relatively low as compared
with last year. HE zUould
think it 1cas lou if he had
made it and had it to sell
owe hear great deal said
about concerted movement to car
ry cotton in the south. Of course,
farmers have a right to hold back
their cotton. They have a right
to cut down their acreage next
season, but we may rest assured
they will do neither of these two
things to any great extent.
GAS to cutting down the acre
age, that generally means that the
other fellow Is going to cut down
his acreage and am not going to
cat down mine, Or, if l am under
any pressure induced to cut down
q fow acres, it means tina! l shall
use every possible means to cult
vate and raise the largest crop on
the smallest acreage.
81 am credibly Informed that it
is possible to raise bale to an
acre, and in some cases Q bales to
the acre. So l do not look for
much reduction IN the crop anoth-
er year, excepting 1t may come
from the vicissitudes of the wealth
er. 1t Gel tainly will not come
through efforts of individual
planters. w. G. G..
