The little differences Of opinion
about union matters should cut no

methods, better seeds, better breeds
and better markets in which to buy
and sell. These are what Unions are
for, and other matters are extraneouS
and are likely to be hurtful. Kick out
all that is not for better living and

If the Farmers Union draws a mem

be straight line; and a straight line
drawn anywhere will cut out some
who would make good members, and
take in some who would make bad
members. Actual farmers living on the

The Farmers Union has adopted
eleven cents as the minimum price for
cotton. 1t is the duty of the union
membership to hold for that price, and
they will. The non-union farmer who
has not made a study of the union
method of controlling markets will
dump his cotton on the already low
market, and thus go down himself and
drag other cotton producers down With
him.-Bangs Drown CO.. News.

that the resolution will not command a

Soon after the holidays Senators Foraker,

will be heard in his own behalf. A canvass
OF the Senate shows at least ffty-two votes
in opposition to the resolution declaring

A m iority Of the Republican Senators
believe he is entitled to his seat and senator

ALL THE TENANTS OFT,
Burglars 90 Through q Bronx Apartment
House and Make a NJ. 900 Haul.

Between o O'Clock and midnight on Sun
day evening all the tenants of the Marion
APARTMENT, at 2648 Marion avenue in the
Bedford Park region Of The Bronx, happened
20 be out on various brands. During these
hours burglars with a glass cutter entered
two of the apartments and tried to enter
the others. They got about 5000 worth
Of iewelry, silver and other valuables, the
police said when the complaints had ceased
coming in yesterday.
The burglars climbed from the court
yard to the fire escape on the second story.
George b. Edwards, who was out of town
with his wife, lives there. The burglars
cut a hole in the glass OF the rear window
on the fire escape. They reached through
and unlocked the window fastener. Inside
they ransacked the apartment, turned
everything topsy turvy and bagged every
thing small enough to carry.
The thieves then went up to the third
floor. where Chester Drummond, a broker
at 10 Wall steet, lives. He was absent.
They entered by making just the same
sort Of hole in the window and collected
iewelry and silver that the DrumInonds
received when they were married a year
ago. They made a bundle of the cut glass
but found il too heavy and dropped it by
the window.
In the apartment on the fourth floor
Albert Bryce'S two collie dogs were in charge
They jumped up when the intruders ratified
the window and barked loud and long.
The men shifted their operations TO the
top floor but did not take anything there,
though they broke the window fastener.
They probably were frightened on by the
dogs. With the spoils from the two lower
floors they got away.
The police have no clue to help the
burglars. There have been fifteen previous
complaints of robberies at the Bronx Park
police station within the month, committed
under similar circumstance 2.
