this State
CLARKsDALE, Nov. q, 1905
To the Cotton Growers and Business
Men of Mississippi:
Has the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton accomplished any good? Do you
think it should be sustained, or shall
it go out of business? If you think it
should go out of business, come for
ward and say so like a man, quit like
a man, pay for what has been done,
and say to the world and those whom
you have placed in authority, that
your work has been for naught Do
not stay at home and say, Il told you
So" Shoulder your own share of the
responsibility and blame. Do your
part. Get right yourself If you have
no confidence in those whom you
have placed in authority, displace
them and select others more capable.
There is no middle ground, those who
are not with us are against US. Take
one side or the other, and let Us
know where you stand.
Our annual election occurs on the
first day of December, at II a. m.
Go to your voting precinct on this
day, where you vote for county and
state officers and there organize, by
electing a President, Secretary and
/ Treasurer of your precinct, enroll

million dollars by your lack of CO.
operation and confidence. All | ask
is that you let your neighbor alone

dinners Reports by Postal.

Commissioner H. +. Blakeslee, Of
the State Agricultural Department,
is making a second attempt to collate
statistics Of the output Of pressed cot
ton in Mississippi, by sending blank
postal cards to the ginners with re-
quest that they fiji the blanks with
figures and information in reference
to this years business wits compara-
tive data for other seasons. We would
not for a moment discourage our excel
lent Commissioner in this work, but
are convinced that ne has undertaken
a task almost impossible Of accom-
plishInent if he expects To arrive at
anything ike accuracy in the figures.
The United States Government tried
this plan in 1900, 1901 and 1902, with
such unsatisfactory results that the
scheme was abandoned as infeasible
and worthless. The National Gin
ners' Association has used the same
means for securing data upon which
its announcements from time to time
have been based, and while its infor-
nation and reports are far in ad-
vance Of what we were obliged to de-
pend upon d half dozen years ago, in
the very nature of things they cannot
possess the accuracy and value that
are demanded for statistical work.
The ginners are too busy at the time
of receiving these requests to give
them prompt and proper attention
even if all OF them were disposed to
do so, and the plants are too widely
scattered through the country to ad-
NIT of a thorough postal card canvass.

Lawyers of America Are
Not Doing Their Duty

BY Professor w. LEWIS Deal of he Law school Of the University
O Pennsylvania
~ HE two fatal words "unccrtantv," "delay" r interviewer
in all our methods of doing legal business. The practical
result Of our Anticipated systems in the complicated conditions
of our social and business life would disgrace the early part
Of the nineteenth century, when practically all business was performed
in a cumbersome way. But to a modern business man, accustomed
to modern AND EFFICIENT methods of dispatching business, tho
delays and uncertainties of our administration of the law have become
lNTOLERABlE, they at the same time ahoraing a surc refuge to the
INSCRIPTIONS. In view of the just reputation Of II people for quick
ness and efficiency, this grotesque condition of the administration of
justice would be laughable If IT WERE NOT SO SERIOUS.
The ahsurdities of the administration of our criminal law have al
lowed the hystcra which exists in a more OF less positive form in every
community to find outward expression IN THE CRIME OF
LYNClllNG. The delays of the civil law, tending to deprive the eco
nomically weak of justice, have been a potent factor in creating that
widespread dMrespect for law and DISTRUST OF COURTS which
renders it increasingly difficult for us to meet the e and complicated
problems of our social life.
Though the answers to the tests of the way in which the legal pro-
fesaon is performing its service to our communities arr not all unfa-
vorabc, taken as a whole the word FAILURE predominates.
DISGUISE IT As We MAY, THE LEGAL PROFESSION IS NOT
ADMINISTERING JUSTICE WITH EFFICIENCY.

and the tens OF millions of the future a place for whole
" some industry? This is an intensely practical question.
wv IT is IMMEDIATE. For within twenty years we
must house and employ in some fashion sc, 100000 of
additional population, and by the middle of this century, at a time
when the child now born will be in the prime of life, there will be APP
proximately W AND A HALF TINES AS MANY PEOPLE
in the United States as there are today.
No nation in history was ever confronted with a sterner question
than this certain prospect sets before u.s.. What are we to do with our
orother, whose keeper we are? How are we to provide our own chill.
dren with shelter and their daily bread?
Rational consideration of our potential resources and of available
future employment for this great multitude must, of course, proceed
together. LABOR MUST HAVE MATERIAL TO WORK
UPON, and labor and material must also be so conjoined that the sum
total shall be an increase of product equal to the advancing demands
upon it, while at the same time our natural resources shall not be
EXHAUSTED. Only thus can the future be made safe.
The mighty wealth of this continent was adequate, with ordinarily
provident handling, for an INDEFINITE INCREASE of the de-
mands upon it. The inhertors Of this wealth have already so far dissi-
pated it that some prudent care of the residue cannot be postponed
without certain disaster.
Within fortyfour years we shall have to meet the wants of more
than 2O0,oOO,00O people. In less than twenty years from this
moment the United States will have 10000 900 people. Where are
these people, not of some dim, distant age, BUT OF THIS VERY
GENERATION now growing to manhood, to be employed and how
supportcd2
The first step is to realize our dependence upon the CULTIvA-
T1ON OF THE SOIL. The next will be to concentrate popular
interest and invention and hope upon that neglected occupation. We
are still ing1ng to the skirts of a civilization born Of great cities. We
ct this very moment use slang which calls the stupid man "a farmer"
y GENIUS HAS STUNNED THE FARM and expended itself
upon mechanical appliances and commerce and the manifold activities
whose favorable reactions filter back but slowly to the plot of ground
upon which stands solidly THE REAL MASTER Of himself and
Of his destiny.
IF we COMPREHEND OUR PRoeLEM Alright ALL THIS WILL
CHANGE AND a LARGER COMPREHENSION OF AGRICULTURE AS
PENDENT OCCUPATION WILL FOR THE FUTURE DIRECT TO
THEIR JUST AIM, IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF METHODS AND THE
WILLING LABOR OF THE MILLIONS WHO THUS MAY TRANSMIT
