The Newspaper and Human Progress.

Messrs Editors Whatever is un-
dertaken in the world for religion,
for science, or for progress In any
direction, it is heralded to the ma
tions through the medium OF the
newspaper. :,
The telephone may whisper its mes
sages of pleasure or pain; the tele-
graph may write in silent language
its thrilling notes of triumph or de-
feat; i'm books, whose pages glow
with living fire from the sacred al
tars of the soul, may be read the
records of heroes, conquerors and
martyrs. But the books written by
poets and sages are only known to
the favored few. But the newspaper
that unmistakable sign of progress
-unfurls to the intelligent world a
banner whose motto is "Liberty."
Wherever the newspaper goes 1t
carries the spirit of independence
independence of thought and action
born of the struggles of Right
against Might.
As the true coin of currency has
been counterfeited many thousand
times, so newspapers have often
been diverted from their proper chan
mel, which is that of PROGRESS, and
made to trail their folds in the mire
of political corruption. national
greed, the desnotism of false creeds,
and the trashy sentimentalism that
flows from the press like a stream
fouled by the feet of evil beasts.
The newspaper is a great power for
good or evil Sheets filled with clean
literature are second only to the
preaching that comes from the living
voice. The editors of such papers
are royal standard-bearers on the
highways of science. truth and prog
ress.
Papers filled with the noxious va
pors that come from the saloon and
kindred dens of vice carry more
poison than the gases arising from
the half-buried bodies that moulder
on the battlefield These only poison
the blood, while those corrupt the
soul and lead to the gates of hell the
unwary victims that are ensnared by
the glowing captions that adorn their
columns.
Royalty always regards the press
as dangerous to it's power. Sir Will
liam Berklev of our early colonial
days, returned thanks to heaven be-
cause there was not a printing office
in any of the Southern provinces.
And it has been said that "scarcely
does the American set his feet down
on any soil, when a press is set up
and newspaper established.
"There are truths to be unfolded.
emphasized and pressed to the heart.
There are principles to be defended
with every atom of force that can go
out from intellect, will and conse-
Grated personality. There are causes
to be maintained from the rising to
the setting of the sun, and evils to
be opposed through every hour of
daylight and darkness. There are
statements, arguments and defenses
to be made with fire and force; there
are follies and falsehoods to be thun-
dered against and struck with light
ming; there is to be a defense of
every bastion of the fortress of
righteousness, and a charge and can
nonade for every force of unrighte-
business; there are to be unceasing
vigilance, unresting warfare and un-
remlttlng constancy for the truth :

TEXAS WILL REDUCE COTTON
ACREAGE 20 PER CENT.

Investigate Thoroughly-The Weevll
Spreading Idea a SANDER On Texas
Farmers.
Messrs. Editors Il note your re-
production of statement from +. A.
Olds. a North Carolina correspond
ent writing on the Texas cotton crop
from Waco, Texas, in The Progress
sive Farmer and Cotton Plant of
May 9th, and | wish to warn your
readers against jumping to conclu-
sions" from statements appearing IN
the papers of your section concerning
cotton conditions in the Southwest.
especially against articles appearing
in the daily press written by CORE
spondents who have made superficial
observations and think themselves
well Informed.
This is case in point. Mr.. Olds
visits one of the 130 cotton growing
counties of Texas, talks to one man
to whom he refers as "my inform
ant" and again mentions the talks
had with growers and with buyers
from whom he gathers that the re-
duction in Texas crop will be 8 or 10
per cent. and then proceeds toAuuote
prominent buyer at length. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Olds fell into the
hands of the Waco cotton bears.
They are not scarce in Texas. 1t is
the evident purpose of the article to
cause Eastern cotton growers to be-
lieve that Texas will grow almost a
normal crop during 1905. This means
disaffection in Eastern cotton-grow-
ing States.
In the Texas daily press similar
statements are being made concern
ing the intent and purpose of the
Eastern cotton-growing States to
grow bumper crop this year. This
causes dissatisfaction in the West
1t will pay the bear interests to dis
yupt the cotton reduction movement
if it can be done.
A word concerning Mr.. Olds's in
terView with the "oldest cotton buyer
who is also large farmer" who de-
clared very positively that "if cotton
fell to five cents the people of Texas
would scatter the weevil through all
the other cotton-growing States, and
more to this effect" This is an in.
famous SANDER against the farmers
of Texas. Texas cotton growers have
wrestled with the weevil for more
than ten years, and not single ship,
ment of this pest, or an outbreak in
other States, has develored during
this entire time. Business men and
farmers in the weevil district have
borne this heavy burden without ar
incendiary thought or an incendiary
act The facts of ten years of strug
| gle against the weevil belle the pre-,
dictions which are made through Mr.
Olds to the Eastern cotton-growine
| public.
The reduction in cotton acreage
throughout this State, regardless Of
the thousands of new farms which
which have been opened up to settle
ment, will be fully 20 per cent OF
last year, and this reduction woulc
have been much greater but for early
spring rains and breeezs which inter
fered with small grain acreage anc
truck planting. Much of the cotto1
planted must be replanted because
of excessive rains throughout thi:
entire region. That portion which
must be replanted will be fully sixt,
days late, and has only one chance

The Death Of AbeIardo Martinez.

The whole village OF Rochester was
shocked Friday night, Nov. IL, on learn
ing Of the sudden death of Abelardo
Martinez by drowning.
This young Cuban Of is years of age had
become a great favorite among his school,
mates and was thought welt OF by all the
community. At the close of the Spanish
American war, he came to this country
with the returning troops, leaving behind
him his father, mother and three sisters,
who had died there, also two other sisters,
who are yet living. Having no relatives
or friends in this country, he came under
the care of the State Industrial school OF
Vermont. So good was his record there,
he was soon given over TO the care of
Henry Harvey of this town Here he
worked for his board and attended the
graded school for about year and half;
then for little over year he did similar
work for Henry Wing. He had entered
about a month upon his winters work at
Oscar Martins when he suddenly met his
death while skating alone on the creek
just north OF the village.
During the briet years Abelardo was
with us, he was not only industrious in
his work but much interested in his studies
and the Bible school Of the Cong'l church.
Full of healthy sport he urged others to
play fair. Full of life's best expectations,
his dominant desire was To become lead
er, telling as OF his innate longing to do
the best and be his best.
Seldom have the youth and children OF
this village been SO deeply moved as they
are over his death. Their tribute OF re-
gard and loge-directed By the thought
fulness OF bis teacher, Miss Annie l..
Chedel tells more than words; for they
not only raised money for a beautiful
floral tribute, but will also erect a suitable
memorial stone, for which over s35 has
been already raised, due to the efforts OF
Ruth Randall, Catherine and jessie Camp
bell and Mildred Douglass. The funeral
service was held IN the Cong'l church sun
day afternoon, Nov. 10, at 80 j. M, Rev.
H. W Hidreth officiating.
Most impressive was the presence Of the
whole membership OF the graded school az
his funeral, and their accompanying OF the
body TO the cemetery. Long will his de-
parture into the eternal life remind us Of
the Masters words, watch, for sc know
not when your Lord " III come.
