A Question Now For the

To the Editor: On the 9TH
day of December last, l wrote
for the columns of The News and
Observer the first article that appeared
in any Southern newspaper suggest
ing that the cotton planters of the
South get together and formulate
some plan by which they could coun-

an impending disaster to them and to
the general interest of the South.
The bureau of statistics had, two
days before this article appeared,
given out its December report, esti-
mating the cotton crop of 1904 at
twelve million, two hundred thousand
hales and as a result the farmers
cotton began tumbling to disastrous
values, even five cent cotton was freely

To have freedom is only to have
that which is absolutely necessary to
enable us to be what we ought to be.
and to possess what we ought To pos
seSs.--Rachel.

as they are fertile, but as they are
-Montesquieu.
The cause of freedom is identified
with the destinies of humanity and in
whatever part of the world it gains
ground, by and by it will be common
gain to all who desire it.-Kossuth.
This is what / call the American
idea of freedom-a government of all
the people, by all the people, for all
the people; of course, a government of
the principles of eternal justice-the
exchanging law of God.-TheodorC
Parker.
The greatest glory of free-born peo-
pie is to transmit that freedom to
their children.-Havard.
Many politicians lay it down as a
self-evident proposition, that no people
ought to be free till they are fit to
use their freedom The maxim is
worthy of the fool in the old story
who resolved not to go into the water
till he had learned to swim.-Mac-
aulay.
we hold these truths to. be self-evi-
uellt tlldl all men are CREATED equal,
that they are endowed by their Gre
ator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness That to Sc
cure these rights, governments are in
stituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed: that, whenever any form
of government becomes destructive OF
these ends it is the right of these
people to alter or abolish it, AMI to
institute a new government, laying its
foundation on such principles and or

Then our war came on and England
surprised both sides by not taking
sides. 1t was not that she did not
want to take sides, but that the great
middle classes were for the Union and
would not let her take sides. There
was not a day during the war that
the North did not have more frien Is

the South had 1t is a curious fact
that Gladstone, so popular at the
North, sympathized with the South in
our war. while Disraeli, so much ad-

late John James Ingalls, did it with
a better grace than any of them. No

den Club existed to raise British gold

In those days the Democrats were

Tended the Golden Club. but by and
by the tariff gave way to the coinage
and then both parties changed front
on the coinage question. In 1894 my
friend. Bob Cousins. took it as a per-
sonal injury that Ambassador Bayard
should make a speech that an English
audience applauded. In 1896 my
friend, Champ Clark, took it as per-
sonal affront that England should
stick to the financial ideas she had alb
sorbed from Isaac Newton and John
Locke.
Since Bayard we have had John
Hay, Joseph H. Choate, and Whitelaw
Reid as Ambassadors to the Court of
st. James. If Bayard had made one
of Joe Choate's more gushing speeches
there is no telling what Bob Cousins
would have said about him in that
eloquent and indignant Grafton he
made in the Fifty fourth Congress.
One thing is evident England is
tired walking the floor. She will be
much disappointed if we do not re-
lieve her. 1.-THE alliance, that is
what ] am talking about-would be
cheaper but the political party that
would now negotiate it would go into
retirement for several administrations.
And we are coming to that question

WAITSBvR6 HAS 4 KICK
Citizens Claim Population Of Town
Has Been Underestimated.

Waitsburgers are registering a siren
uous kick over the population credited
the town by the statistical department
of the secretary of states office at
Olympia. Waitsburg is credited with
but 1900 people while Dayton has been
credited with 300.
This Waitsburg people say is clearly
wrong. Dayton is not twice as large
as Waitsburg and then some and If
the Columbia county town mas 300
people Waitsburg has at least 22OO.
The statement has been given such
wide circulation that it will be sug-
gested to the Waitsburg council to
have an honest census of the city
taken.
