zSlions In the South, have agreed on
a minimum price Of eleven cert, pc

expected to stand firm with every bal.
that he can hold or llnance.
The banks have plenty Of money to
advance on cotton. All the. money
that is needed a be easily secured i.
e arc now up against II hard fight,
as the recent government bureau re-
port has been considered az be4risil
and has giv'n tho bears" rene wed
hope and an additional Weapon to
light the market with. The whole
South knows that the crop Is q short
one, far shorter than that OF last
year, and that tho spinners will need
every pound that we can raise.
Let the slogan be eleven cents from
every hilltop and valley throughout
the entire South. II the farmers
weaken the market will break and the
cause VIC have fought 50 hard to sus

no attention to paper contracts or
bearish literature flooding the country
ana stand firm for your rights In the
face OF al obstacles and the fight will
soon be whipped.
AS president OF the Southern Cot

2ctiVa co operation OF the entire
Southern press In calling upon the
farmers TO stand firm and refuse to
give ali inch OF ground in the face OF
those wAo are making such desperate
tfforts to depress the markets for
purely speculative purposes. This is
a light for the whole South and our
future prosperity depends upon win

are engaged.

which Is, Of coursa. the ideal way Of

In sewing on buttons have tho knot

Never have the top Of the boots tight,

Attitude Of the spinners.

@. w. McAra, president Of the
Master Cotton %Spinners' Association
of Great Britain says the spinners had
Doquarrel with American cotton plant
ers, had no desire to interfere with
their legitimate profits and had no OBJ.
lection to the fluctuations brought
about by a small or a large yield. AS
q matter of fact, the grower would be
well rewarded in an ordinary season
by q return OF s cents per pound. BY
gambling operations, however, the
price had been advanced for several
seasons to Ia cents per pound and
higher, which meant an advance on
the worlds crop of $3.50, 900, 900. The
American spinner, Mr.. McAra adds,
as badly Handicapped as the Europ.
a spinners. the cost OF the carriage
OF cotton to New England mills being
as great as the cost Of carriage by sea

In an address delivered before thou

Gov. Frank r. Gooding, Idaho's chief
executive, spoke enthusiastically Of
the equal suffrage situation in Idaho.
"1oaho is especially proud Of the fact
that we have equal suffrage In cur
state" he said. II have always been
an ardent believer in equality at the
ballot box. 1t was my good fortune

drafted the hrot resolution ever pre-.
'ented TO tho people Of Idaho through
The Republican party, favoring equal
suffrage. AS a result of those prom.
tsey, tho WON ,nsof our state now en-.
Joy the freedom Of the ballot. This
act Of ~justice has been greatly ap.
preoiated by the good women Of Ida.

Ion by the active interest they have
aiken In publicaaffairs. Equal suffrage
n done q great deal to improve poll

narty dares nominate o man for Office
whose character Is not clean, aud who
has not ehown his appreciation OF the

suffrage. But this, Of itself, 1t SCENE

1t Is the mouth which tells the tale
