The failure of the state executive TO
meet the patronage problem promptly,
and secondly by his appointment OF
Chicago politicians TO important places
in the state institutions and depart
ments will. according TO rumor, ac-
quire sensational impetus in a few
days when the Quincy Wing, edited
by Perry c. Ellis, is expected TO de-
clare cditorially for the reelection of
Senator CullOm and at the same time
eXC0Tiate Gov Deneen for breaking
faith with Richard Yates. whose sena-
rorial prospects rested upon support OF
his cause by the state administration.
The Wing is one of the leading repub-
lican party papers in the state and is
the original Yates organ of Illinois.
It's open declaration that Gov. Deneen
knitted the man who made him gov
ernor Will, ii is thought. lead scores of
other newspapers of the same political
faith throughout Illinois to take the
same attitude. Resentment at the gov
ernOr for his alleged attempts TO in
rimidate country Legislators is respOn
sible for the change of attitude in the
Quincy paper. His delay in making
appointments and announcing his poll
cy has also soured the publication.
In provoking the opposition of the
Wing. the executive loses one of his
strongest supporters. Editor Ellis is
chairman of the republican committee
of the Thirty-siXth senatorial district
and was Roosevelt elector
He was a Yates advocate before the
former governor was nominated, stood
by him when he was in the guberna-
torial chair, and when Yates withdrew
in favor of Deneen at once espoused
the cause of the present executive.
The Wing. one of the oldest and best
known papers in the state. is declared
To WELD powerful party influence in
Adams. Calhoun. Pike and Scott coun-
ties. and numerous other papers look
10 il for sanction of an editorial pol
icy on political matters.
II is predicted by some republican
leaders that the loss to Deneen of the
Wing means the detection of the
whole middle and southern part Of the
state.

they seem TO be restless and dissatis-

Commenting on these and other re-
marks of the head of the Kansas agri-
cultural department. the Kansas City
Journal says:
THE cause of this restlessness and
dissatisfaction lies in the fact that no
American likes to serve any man as a
hired hand" or in any other capacity
approaching mental servitude. His
birth and his teaching from child
hood tell him that he is free and equal
of any other man and he spends his
life in seeking the ideal. in wealth and
in social position, but, above all, in
personal dignity and character. He
draws in this deal with his mothers
milk and his country's institutions en-
grave il on his mind and heart as soon
as he is old enough TO learn. This
idea is illustrated in the south by the
fact that the sOutherners, who have 4
strong sense of personal dignity, pre-
fer negro servants to whites chiefly
because they do not enjoy seeing A
white American serving in mental
capacity. IL is illustrated with still
greater force in Kansas. where the
sense of sovereign independence is So
strong that, as Secretary of Agricul-
ture Coburn quantity phrased it. Beet
culture would thrive and be very prof
liable in Kansas, but it requires a man
TO get down on his knees to pull out
the extra plants, and the farmers of
Kansas will not get down on their
knees TO anybody or anything"

THE WAREHOUSE PLAN.
State Executive Committee Endorses
II After Thorouah Consideration.

State Executive Committee Endorses
It After Thorough Consideration.
The executive committee OF the
South Carolina Southern Cotton asso-
citation held a meeting in Columbia
last Tuesday, and after thoroughly
discussing the warehouse plan adopt
ed the following offered by Mr.. Bur-
nett. .,-
"That 1t is the sense Of this COM
mittee that we recommend to every
community in South Carolina where
the necessity for warehouses exists, 10
build these warehouses through their
own efforts or by outside assistance II
preferred, or II possible to attain them
at cost Of $500. to $1,000 with storage
capacity respectively Of f~"~" 200 10
1000 bales"
Leroy Springs Of Lancaster, intro
duced the following, which was adopt
ed:
THAT we urge upon the farmers the
Importance Of storing their cotton
promptly on being ginned In the
standard warehouse where they can
get negotiable warehouse receipts,
thus saving 1t from loss in weight and
damage and putting 1t In negotiable
shape so that they will not be forceo
to market except at their own pleas
ure, as It has been demonstrated py
the action Of the New Orleans conVen-
tion that reasonable prices can De
maintained irrespective OF the size OF
the crop by the judicious marketing
Of the cotton, which can only De ac.
complished by the effective warehouse
system"
On motion Of President E. D. Smith,
this was added to the resolution:
ANY information as to the con-
struction or outside assistance can De
obtained by communicating with the
Columbia Office Of the Southern Cot
ton association.
"Resolved, That a copy Of this res
olution be filed in this office and tnat
copy, be given to the. press win tne
request that all county papers copy
It," e.. . -.
The committee then adjourned to
meet again at the call Of the chair
man.
The committee permanently organ
lied by electing E. w. Robertson
chairman and F. II. Weston secretary
An insurance expert m the person
Of E. G. Seibles, and a representative
from Architect c. c. Wilson's office
were called In to give estimates as to
insurance rates and cost of erecting
warehouses throughout the state.
The architect said that these ware
houses could be built 40x100 feet with
gravel roof and best pattern for $l,2OO'
the sprinkler system to cost about 20
per cent more. Such a house would
have a capacity of 1000 bales. A 500
bale capacity warehouse could be built
for $500. If storage for any more than
!. 900 bales Is required separate ware
hnnses should be built.

indicate that the cotton acreage this
year will be reduced fully 25 per cent
as required by the Southern Cotton as
sociation. Not only have farmers eV-
erywhere resolved to cut the acreage,
but they have also reduced the amount
of commercial fertilizer that Is to be
used, as was shown in the letter or
Commissioner Of Agriculture .. b.
Stevens Of Georgia, who stated that
from every state he had received OF
fetal reports that the acreage was be-
ing reduced 20 per cent and the fertili-
ger 1918 per cent. President Harvie
Jordan feels very enthusiastic over the
outlook. People have rallied to the
support of the movement In all sec
tions, and as he has stated In an arti-
Gle. the work is not for the farmers
alone, but for the up-building or the
whole south. Mr.. Jordan Is now on
tour Of the western southern states.
He will be gone for probably three
weeks. He will speak in Texas, Louis
lana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee,
Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Ev-
erywhere he Is being received with
great enthusiasm by the people, and at
every point he stops he receives addi-
tional assurances Of support. The next
week will be spent by Mr.. Jordan In
New Orleans arranging for the w9rk-
ing Of the Cotton Planters Holding
and Commission company that Is to
retire 100000 bales Of cotton from
the market and hold the cotton until
the price Of cotton reaches IN cents.
