The Lawless Cotton Ralsers

Indianapolis Star.
 dispatch to The Star from .Ft. Gafnes,Ga., says that the farmers ofClay County met in that place Wednesday and decided to burn their share of D. 100000 bales of surplus cotton. The dispatch further says: "A starter was made today when a bonfire was made of cotton on the streets of Ft. Gaines. It is not yet determined where it will stop. A large crowd paraded with much spectacular ceremony. The object is to show that the farmers are ready and willing to sacrifice a few bales for the benefit of the masses. The action follows the bearish report of the ginners of 13,000, ,O0O bale crop In this way the farmers hope to raise the price,"
 This action on the part of the Geor- gia cotton raisers may not be lawless , but 1t surely indicates a shocking ten dency toward lawlesness. The most arrogant and soulless trust that ever existed never resorted to such bare faced and brazen methods of pulling the market and robbing the public, and these conspiracies against entirely proper conditions and prices, since they CTS, invites the prompt attention of the lawmakers. If 1t Is criminal for a man to burn his own house, 1t is surely far greater and more heinous crime for him to burn that that which bears an important relation to the whole coun- try.
 There is but one purpose in this wanton destruction of the fruits of the soil and that is to control and unfairly increase prices A few weeks ago cot ton was quoted at cents. The gov ernment issued a circular showing that the country's production of this inn portant commodity was over 12,000, 900 bales, a greater supply than usual. Then prices dropped. Following the governments report the ginners, natural bears on the market sent out report that the supply was a million more bales than the government esti- mated, and prices are now inclined to go lower. The farmers of Georgia and other sections of the South, saw the handwriting on the wall. They realized that the law of supply and demand was sure to control the price of the commodity and give the purchas- ing public a square deal. Rather than ble condition, they decided on violent measures to defeat 1t. They would burn the raw material, reduce the sup ply and push the prices up. They were willing each to make a sacrifice in the interest of all the cotton raisers. know ing that they could then compel the public to pay the unfair cost. It Is all a shameful. wicked piece of business, and, if there is no law now | through whose operation these enemies of the public can be reached, one should l be enacted without delay, The des- truction of public necessities, in order | that dishonest prices may be obtained. is quite the limit of arrogant attack upon the already overburdened con | sumer.

THE ADVERTISER PUBLISHERS
 ENTERTAINED BY EMPLOYES

let every day in this New Year be as happy as this one for Major Screws and MT. Glass"
 This was the sentiment that prevail ed yesterday afternoon around the happy board at which the eighty odd men and women employed by The Ad- vertiser Company entertained Major W. w. Screws. President, and MT. Frank P. Glass, General Manager of the com pany. It was happy and a success full occasion.
 The custom with the employees of The Advertiser of celebrating the first day In each year by giving q dinner compli- mentary to the publishers of the paper originated three years ago. It grew out of the cordial feeling. the esprit de corps that exists between the force of men and women who make The Ad- vertiser and the sympathy, co-opera- tion and kind treatment of the officers of the company toward their employees
 Another unique custom is the publi- cation on the first day of each year of miniature edition of The Advertiser filled with quips concerning the mem- bers of the force and the paper itself The little paper appeared on time yes- terday in an enlarged form. It con sisted of eight pages and for the first time Tn US history IL was llluStrALeo Artist Smith of The Advertisers art room putting in some of his best work on 1t.
 The dinner began at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon in the banquet room of John Yung's cafe and 1t was nearly o'clock when Major Screws and MT. Glass and the great crowd of newspa- per people left the festal board.
 The table and rooms were beautiful ly decorated with flowers and potted plants and the following was the menu Cocktails.

Glass are held by their associates and as the representative of his fellow workers, he pledged the pub fishers anew the best efforts of the assembled men and women.
 Major Screws and MT. Glass respond ed in terms of warmth, dwelling upon their long connection with The Adver- tiser and the fidelity of those whose labor had made the paper what 1t is. In response to toasts to the depart ments of which they are the heads, happy speeches were made by Mrs J :. M. de Cottes, Society Editor; Victor H. Hanson, Advertising Manager; George H.

Thinking to Death.

SuRBeSllons
 Thousands of people actually think themselves to death every year by all lowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects.
 The idea that one has some incipient disease in ones system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life without improving prospeets-any of these or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a prema- ture grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon ones mind needs as much doctoring as physical disease. It needs to be eradicated from the mind or 1t will have just the same result as a neglected disease would have.
 Every melancholy thought, every morbid action and every nagging wor- ny should be resisted to the utmost, and the patient should be protected by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a bountiful store in everyones possess sion. Bright companions are cheaper than drugs and plasters.
 The morbid condition of mind pro- duces a morbid condition of body. and if the disease does happen to be in the system 1t receives every encouragement to develop. We need more mental ther- aDy

the comprehension of chfid is not equal to that of the writers of books. The apostle Paul. writing to the corin- thians, said: When was a child I spake as a child. I understood as a child, thought as child.'
 How can the makers of school books forget that the little student must still think and und srstand as a child? When they get to be men and women they will. like Paul, put away childish things" but they cannot put away their childish understanding at the command of teacher or author, nor should the latter attempt without prop CT progressive process, to compel them to leap from the understanding of the child to the broader understanding of the grown person. It is all lack of simplicity--a lack of proper and fair consideration of the limitations of the child. To 1t, of course, can be traced the downfall of very considerable number of children. The weaker ones those with minds less able to quickly make the wide reaches of modern ed- ueational demands--break down under the strain and fail The author and the so-called book expert assumes that the fault is with the child, whereas, in reality. it is with the books and meth- ods. The latter are invariably prepared for the strongest child, not the weak est. and the latter. equally entitled to all the benefits of a schooling, is ham dicapped throughout the various terms il ne Is not destroyed in the beginning.

Another thing that is worrying the people of Indian Territory. and about which the Democrats are making things warm, is the fact that the Statehood Dill allows or provides for mixed schools for the new State. not schools of whites and Indians, but of whites and negroes. fover in the Chickasaw Nation the Democrats, it is said, win try to defeat any Constitution which allows mixed schools. The Muskogee Phenix, one of the principal Republi- can papers of the Terrtiry. admits that the overwhelming sentiment" Is against the mixed school proposition and thinks the Statehood bill should be so amended as to make such schools impossible. There seems to be a deal of Southern sentiment and feeling in those territories.

HOW THE LAPS KEEP WARM.

Underground Homes in Manchuris
 Have Solved the Problem. Chicago Record Herald.
 With November the cold weather be- gins in Manchuria, and is increasingly intense. Around Mukden the ther- mometer does not usually fall below zero (Fahr) until the middle of De- cember. when night after night it may sink to 5, 10 and even 20 degrees be- low zero. and during January to 30 be- low.
 In the frequent northeasterly or northwesterly bliZzards no human be- ings can live under canvas. Some may be quartered in native houses, but where, even supposing that the own CTS should be ruthlessly turned out will accommodation be found for 500,- 900 menY
 The answer is simple: The Japanese nre already making use of under ground dwellings, such as the natives sometimes use. and which were used by the Russians during the winter af- ter the Boxers had destroyed their railway buildings.
 The soil of Manchuria. excepting in certain places, is dry at this season especially in the districts between Mukden and Liaoyang. where it is largely loess and sand.
 The Japanese, who hold the low hills with gentle slopes, are in the better p, siticn. The method is to dig a trench about ten to twelve feet deer and varying in width. but generally about nine feet wide. A narrow stair way is cut leading down to the south snd. At the base it is widened and g door frame set up with a native door turning on wooden pivots.
 The upper half of the door Is upen- work, which, being covered with the opaque native window paper, admits light. The sun shines at midday down the steps, and when the door is opened freshens and warns the room
 Immediately within, on one side, is cooking stove. camp oven, or boiler in a simple and primitive style. to which both Russians and Japanese are accustomed. Along the, length of the trench is a platform some two and a half feet high and six inches wide made of hammered earth and rough unburred bricks. Beneath this are several simple fiues, up and down which the smoke and heat from the cooking place finds its way. issuing al tho end remote from the entrance by

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT.

We thoroughly agree with The Hart lord Courant that Kentucky Is not duly careful of her reputation when she is careless of her trust as custo- dian of Zachary Taylers grave. Con- gressman Sherley's bill ought never to have been needed, but if the alterna- tive is a continuance of the present neglect the bill ought to pass. It is not fitting or decent that the grave of the twelfth President of the United States should be neglected"
 The bill of Mir. Sherley asks that the United States become the custodian of the grave and monument of the twelfth President of the United States, and 1t is bill that ought to pass. though we do not know the particulars of 1t. The Sttae of Kentucky should take charge of the matter. for, although born in Virginia, all of his youth and early manhood were passed in Kentucky. From that State he entered the army, and until the beginning of the Mexican War he was engaged in fighting the Indians, and 1t was in this service that he laid the foundation of the~militarv reputation which made him one of the most prominent figures in the military life of the Union during the first half of the last century His services dur ing the Mexican War are so much part of the history of the country that 1t would be work of supererogation to dilate on the subject. They were ser- vices which were as brilliant as they were effective, and ended in a triumphal procession to the Presidency--a posi- tion, by the way, for which he was not fitted. and which he enjoyed less than e year.
 As we said. General Taylor was es- sentially a Kentuckian, for he was but a child when taken to that State. and though the duties of public life claimed him during all his latter years he never forgot the State of his adoption. It is not at all creditable to that State that application must be made to Congress to take care of what should be Ken tueky's pride. Only a few years ago a bill passed the State Legislature ap- propriating the small sum of s4OO to repair the monument, and providing for a small annual appropriation to care for the grave. That bill was ve- toed by Governor Beckham on the plea of economy, a plea which it too often an excuse for pecuniary meanness That 1t was so in this case Is shown by the fact tbat the same Governor approved a bill for a considerably larger sum to erect a statute to Sen ator Goebel. And to conclude, we take this from The Louisville Herald:
 In this State he resided. He loved its soil and its people. Here, too. lived his lovely daughter who married Jef- ferson Davis the able and brilliant. though unfortunate. President of the Southern Confederacy. Taylor is dear to all the South. His name, sacred to patriotism. should not be defiled by as sociation with that of Goebel, tainted by partisanship. The Kentucky ma chine may neglect the spot that holds the. hero's ashes, but the spirit of Ken lucky manhood watches over remains so precious.

Speaker Cnnnon,n shake-Up,

SprIngfieId Republican.
 There is encouraging talk to the eff feet that Speaker Cannon plans a shake-up of some of the most import ant House committees in order to bring the ablest of the younger Republican members to the front. The uninter- rupted control of the House for ten years bv the Republicans has had the result in some cases. by virtue of the working of the principle of promotion by seniority, of filling important com mittee places with old members of in- ferior ability. That this is true can be shown by a moments comparison be- tween the two or three most pronfinen t Republican floor leaders of the present day with the group of younger men embracing such members as Burton of Ohio and Littleheld of Maine.

SIMPLICITY IN SCHOOLS

The subject of simplicity in schools and school books is being more and more discussed. and by those fully competent to discuss 1t. Recently there was a convention or meeting of teach CTS at Indianapolis, and among those present was Prof. J. H. Walsh of New York He Is school superintendent, and is also author of a number of school books. In his address he told the teachers that Simplicity in arith- metic was the best method and that the child should be made to understand clearly the fundamental principles, af- ter which the higher branches of math- ematics would come easily. He also declared that he does not believe in giv- ing children hard problems all the time and never if the child can not "get" 1t. He says if there Is hesitation over problem the teacher should at once give an easier one, and then work up again to the hard one" and The Indian apolis Star adds:
 Professor Walsh, appealing for sim plicity. hit the educational nail square ly on the head. It should not be con fined to arithmetic. however, but should characterize every branch in the pri- mary and grammar grades. This Is especially true with relation to the readers and histories. The language in these important works should be within the grasp of the scholars It Is preposterous to expect child of the sixth grade, for instance, to read and understand and pronounce mythological history and names. It is equally pre- posterous to demand of this same child that he shall read and absorb books filled with the advanced language of the adult. Yet these things are asked every day.
 The trouble is not altogether with teachers or superin ntendents of schools, but the fault is largely with the au- thors of the school-books. If any man doubts it let him examine carefully the books that his children or grandchil- dren are using. If he is not a pretty fair scholar he will find much in these books that he Is not able to compre- bend as fully as his 10-year-old child is expected to understand it, and then he will no longer wonder that the chill dren are worrying at night when they l ought to be asleep. nor will he feel the | inclination to seold or censure them if their monthly reports are not always good.
 The fact is as one writer expresses 1t, the maker of school books shoots far over the heads of the helpless chill dren of the schools" Some of these authors appear to have entirely for- gotten that they were once children. ] and seem to lose sight of the fact that
