TUPELO MISSISSIPPI. FRIDAY JANUARY 20, 1906
A FINE IDEA.

At its meeting on the first o
this month, at the Rankin count
farm, it was decided by the Boar,
of Control that some radica
changes should be made in tn
modus operandi OF the convic
management of tie State. As y
we'll known the Rankin aud Oakle,
farms. which are owned by tn.
State, are rot in the delta. They
belong to what is known as sand,
land farms and are better adapted
to stock growing than to the pro
duction Of cotton. These farms
have been cultivated by the state
ever since they were purchased
which was done under Governor
Stones administration. They have
not been found to be as profitable
as the delta lands. 1t was decided
at this meeting that they should be
turned into stock farms and de
voted to the growing of hay, grain,
potatoes. hogs, cattle, horses and
sheep. Fifty or sixty mares will
be bought at once and put to mule
raising 1t is the intention of the
board to supply, in this way, the
demand of the state for mules, for
ty or fifty of which ara bou ght
every year for use on it's farms. Ii
was also decided that on these
farms should be made all of the
corn, hay and meat required by
the state. When this has been &C.
complished then all the cotton is to
be planted tha: can be conveniently
tended aud gathered. In this way
the farms are to be first made self
sustaining and then all the cotton
is to be made that can be by the
convicts.
The state has now on hand, of
last years crop, about eighteen
hundred bales of cotton. The
board decided that it would be un
wise to sell it at present prices. 1t
did not think its sale either wise
or just at this time, as the example
of the state would be closely
watched and would exert large
influence on the farmers as to their
action with regard to the cotton
which they now have on hand. Be-
tN cen three thousand and four
thousand bales have already been
sold at remunerative prices and the
board thought that thu state could
wei afford 10 hold what it now has
on hand for better prices. 1t is
apparent that tri> is the prevailing
idea With all cotton grUw-lS and
tie board tiuu dit 1t would be i'm
prudent to ble.k ii.
The Board of Control has, in our
opinion, acted wisely in all THESE
matters and S ruck The kew note
Of the present em barras>ing ritua
ton of the cotton growers. IL u
nutshell, it has decided to produce
all the necessaries for subsistlng
the convic's and then grow all the.
cotton that can b. made bv them.
This plan commends itself by lis
plain common sense, and If it
should be adopted as the rule to
govern every individual interested,
would prove master stroke of
policy If the cotton growers
would grow all the PROVISIONS tn,
they eat and all the mules hey u>+
they would fast become the richest

EDITORIAL

Is not the acting Governor. the man
of intrigues. the man of wiles. the
clever functionary, the official miracle
worker, the most applauded juggler,
the one who has succeeded on all oc-
casions in getting what he wants?
Is not MI. Post a past master in
the art not difficult here of pittins
people against each other? He was
the instigator, the prime mover. the
champion, in the idmb like campaign
in which our most gifted orators sho-
wed their wondrous talents, while in
the governmental camera obscura was
concocted the ruinous budget, the pro-
ject for the registry of property, the
thrust at the municipalities by means
of the proposition for a county sys-
tenn.
1t is to be deplored that it is dee
med necessary to 60 to Our most
respected class for confirmation of the
government yarns, when it is perfect
" we'll known from whom those ex-
pressions ought to come and who alone
is capable and qualified to pronounce
them.
Let Mr.. Post speak.
He has done it so often without
being asked and with 40 warrant for
speaking, that on this occasion, when
the public is so deeply interested in
matter of such undenia BILE importance.
we cannot comprehend his refraining
from gratifying its just curiosity in as
certaining the origin of the report on
which President Roosevelt bases the
affirmation which has so vexed and
disguised opinion here.
There is but one road to follow in
the investigation. Let Mr.. Post speak
and let him speak sincerely.
If the acting Governor has been
juggling with the political elements OF
the Island, if he raises and lowers
them at his will, if he manages them
according TO his pleasure, we feel it
to be sacred duty to do our best to
keep him from indulging in the same
pastime with the economic elements
of the colony. whom the government
now wishes to present as opposed
to any political change in the island.
The objects to be attained by such
course are radically anarch1stic.
We denounce the effort before the
whole country SO that it may be on its
guard and keep away from the abyss
towards which the government wishes
to lead it.
We have pointed out the road to
take in order to find out everything;
! we have shown the way to attain the
desired object; let Mr.. Post speak and
speak frankly, honestly and sincerely.

It is not the merchants and capital
|ists--whether Spanish or of some
other country who ought now tc
|express their views. as has been
suggested by an important paper OF
lSan Tuan, which has published IT,
mely and patriotic letter from the re-
representative merchants and capitalists
of Fajardo.
It is the government that ought to
speak.
Neither the merchants or capital
| lists referred to above should, bee
ause of an unfortunate declaration in
the message of the President, be cal
lied upon for an expression of opinion
nor is it right or fair to ask it Of them
since it is we'll known that little att
ention is accorded in Official quarters
to the opinions of the important elem
ents of the country, and that the ar
rogance and haughtiness of our rulers
makes them impervious 10 reports and
)counsels which do not reach them
through the oracles eff redemptionism.
Who has said that the present reg
ime merits the confidence of the re
preventative elements of the country7
There is no necessity for anyone say
ing it; it is sufficient that some imp
ortant member of the congregation
Mr.. Post for instance-has affirmed, OF
merely thought it, to have it believed
and accepted as th. absolute and
final opinion of the class referred
Ito.
The proper person to interrogate is
Mr.. Post.
Let us admit that the President has
formed his opinion as the result OF
listening TO false and interested re
ports; but who furnished those reports'
who is it that has the means OF getting
them before Mr.. Roosevelt? Who other
than the redemptionist congregation,
whose members are interested IN the
maintenance of the present regime?
It would not be the first victims OF
the feudal expansionism who would
lspeak in favor of the continuance OF a
system which is the most potent fac
tor in bringing about the liquidation
of the Island.
1t would not be the chief victims OF
an expensive and anarchistic regime
who would undertake an impossible
defence of such a form Of govern
ment. -:
To whom them should the question
be put as to the origin of that report
so false: that it is wished to have
|cemented the edifce of colonial tyra
my?
TO Mr.. Post and to no one else.
