THE COTTON WAREHOUSE AGAIN
Hazel Grove Farmer Asks Some
Questions For the Consider
alton of Those Interested
To The Newark Journal

been reading, thinking, talking
and hearing others talk in regard
to the cotton warehouse. | find
some In favor of one system; some
another; some one company; some
another; and | find some who are
not in favor of taking stock in any
warehouse company. Now | am
not going to preach sermon,
neither am | going to try to con-
vert any one to my way of think
ing, but | am going to tell you
what | think about the matter.
My opinion is that if we are able
to hold our cotton we need ware
houses. But if we owe our cot
tons worth to some one else, then
we are not able to hold it, and
need no warehouse. But if we are
able to hold our cotton, then we
need a warehouse and ought to be
able to build one. Let every man
who raises cotton study this mat
ter seriously before acting. Ask
yourself these questions.
1st. Am | able to hold my cot
ton until | can get fair price,
End. Am | able to help build a
warehouse!
Bird. Do | favor throwing in
my little mite with the bankers
and business men of some town to
build a warehouse and let them
have the controlling INTEREST,"
18th. Who should these ware
houses belong to if the farmers
are the ones to use theml
My opinion is that, if we find that
we need a warehouse, we should
build one. and then we would have
a warehouse of our own; ware
house that we have paid for and
built and belongs to the ones who
need it Brother farmers the fight
is ON and it is now up to US to
stand by our guns and contend for
our rights or skulk into our tents
and take the treatment of slaves.
Let US be considerate on every
proposition that presents itself for
the consideration of the Farmers
Union. Let US, like the Jews, while
repairing the walls of Jerusalem.
work with one hand and hold the
weapons of war in the other. In
other words let US use our brains
while we pillow and hoe. Let Us
be faithful to the Scriptural Goo
given principles of the Union I'M
til her proud banner shall be I'M
furled from Maine to California;
from the frozen regions of the
North to the fertile fields of the
South. Let US stand firm and be
loyal to its cause until she takes
every sunburned, red neck tiller
of the soil by the hand and leads
him from the struggling condition
he is now placed in and puts him
in the high and honorable position
of life that he so justly deserves.
Then, and not until then. can we
sing of one accord and of truth:
Good bye Speculator, good bye.
You We been mighty strong and brave,
But the Farm ers Union Of America
Will put you in your grave
Your ayariciouS ways OF theft
Have aroused the farmer boys,
For you tried your gambling fad
To rob US OF our joys.
We are mighty slow to move,
But humble and contrite-
When we are moved by kicks and cuffs
We are worse than dynamite.
Good bye Spectator | say,
Your grave is almost done,
We II soon be ready to let you down,
For the dirty tricks you've done.
And when we've let you down,
Well cover you up deep,
And mark nnnn Ynur monument

HOW CITIES LOSE MONEY.
Municipal Plants Pay No Taxes and
Reduce Tax Receipts.

The subject Of lest taxes is one that
deserves far more attention than it
usually receives from advocates OF
municipal ownership. There is scarce
~ municipal plant in this country
which mentions this item il its reports.
although it is Just "a much IN element
in cost Of production as coal and
wages. Ihc emission is readily over
looked. because it IS :; negative cx-
pcnse involving no direct payment but
only 4 JOS OF income to the city.
IF You own 4 store for which you
are receiving u coed rental and dig
possess Your tenant in order to occupy
it yourself tie rental value Of the store
becomes Il charge against your bust
ness. Just as it WAS previously 4
charge against youT tenants business.
and you are aaH OF pocket unless Your
profits exceed the rent you formerly
received. Similarly il u city buys out
or otherwise disposscsses a public serv-
ice corporation the real. personal and
franchise taxes formerly paid by the
corporation become a charge against
the operation of the municipal plant
that succeeds the corporation, and the
city is out of pocket unless the profits
nj its plant exceed the taxes lost.

LONG LIVE THE BOSS!


Municipal! Ownership Would Make His
Pcaition lrpresnable.
Referring To the recent announcement
that u, 146 persons are Oh the payroll
Of New York city, the Newark Adver-
tlser declares that in the event OF mu-
nicipal ownership Of street railways,
electric light aad gas plants. ferries and
other public utilities the city employees
would constitute Il political army that
would make change of administra-
ton impossible
1t recalls the fact that 25,OOO city
employees in Philadelphia kept Phila-
de1phia in the hands Of the corrupt
Durham machine for years, and only
q great popular uprising overthrow the
grafters.
III Durham had had control Of the
street railroads and other public utili.
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership" 1t observes, "he could have
laughed at popular uprisings. He
would have been as absolute in his au-
thority as the czar.''
The point Is we'll taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would be as 1t
would in Philadelphia and New York.
Bosses may be oyerthrown and
grafters turned out whenever the pub
lie will 1t at present. Public ownership
OF all public utilities would end this.
It would bind the people hand and
foot and deliver them into the hands
of political grafters. - Long Branch

An Insult to Americans.

| Raleigh Times.
President Rooseyelt's determine
ton to advance George b. Cortelyou
to q higher position in the cabinet ID
an insult to the American people
| which will not go unchallenged. But
the protest will have no effect. The
people must submit because u repub-
iican senate will confirm any ap-
pointment sent to it from the white
house. 1t may be that the president
is under lasting obligations to Cortei-
you. When he was made secretary
of commerce he used his office to in
vestigate the standing OF the giant
combinations. Each combination
vas forced to disgorge; each combi-
nation was forced to contribute free
~ and largely to the corruption fund
which elected Roosevelt. Money be-
longing to the policyholders OF big
insurance companies was literally
stolen and Cortelyou received it..
When Judge Parker charged that
the trusts had been bled to increase
the republican fund Mr.. Roosevelt
made q heated denial, that being
based upon the assurance OF Cortel-
you. But the insurance Investigation
in New York proved that Judge Par
ker was telling the absolute truth
and that CortelyOu had made q
statement which was wilfully false
and statement which he knew to
be false. But Mr.. Roosevelt does
not care for that He is grateful to
the political CRATER. Here is q man,
guilty OF taking stolen money to buy
an election, being made secretary Of
the treasury. Men less prominent
than Cortelyou have been sent. to
jail for deeds far less criminal.
There is not much incentive for n
man to be honest these days in poll
ties, especially when one, convicted
by evidence beyond dispute, is sig
nally honored, not because he de-
serves it, but because he was able to as
sist in the stealing without which he
election Of Mr.. Roosevelt might not
have been possible.

Beauties Of the Watts Law.
Wilmington Messenger

. Wilmington Messenger
When the Watts law was passed
and then followed up by the Ward
Law every body thought they were
as simple as A. B. C. and, that there
could arise any dispute as to what
they meant never entered the mind
of a single citizen OF the state. We
all thought that the two laws, taken
together, declared that liquor sa-
looms and distifieries should be con-
fined to incorporated towns and
that the voters of such towns should
have the right to say by their votes
at elections properly called whether
they should have prohibition, dis
pensary or saloons.
These three questions, every one
thought, were to be left to the decis-
ion of the people. It was a perfectly
plain question in which the majority
OF the people were to rule. But it
seems that the people were very
much mistaken. Instead of being
perfectly plain question in which the
choice OF the people, expressed every
two years, if they SO choose, was TO
rule, it turns out to be one of the most
intricate questions which has ever
arisen under the free government
OF the American nation or of the
sovereign states composing the fede
ration.
There are more constitutional
questions involved in the construc-
ton of the Watts and the Ward bills
than in any clause of the federal
constitution or any amendment
thereto. For instance there is a law
which says that the people of any
town may vote on the question as to
whether i'll future that town shall
have saloons, dispensary or no
places of sale of liquor. Under this
law town which. has saloons holds
an election which results i'll the clos
ing OF the saloons and the opening
of dispensary. After awhile the
prOhibitionists want to have an
election which shall declare either for
prohibition or dispensary, and they
are told that before they can go by
popular election, under the Watts
law, from dispensary to prohibition
they must go back to saloons; in
other words, that if the prohibitions
lists should win the victory against
dispensary it would not establish
prohibition in that town, but would
re-establish saloons.
This case went to the supreme
court and it lodged the question.
1t would not decide the case on the
main question involved because it
found way to get rid OF the case on
another and technical point. So
the main question remains that when
our citizens who are opposed to the
liquor trade try to get rid of it by
gradual stages and first resort to
the dispensary as substitute for
saloons, when they wish to supplant
the dispensary with prohibition,
they must go back to saloons in
order to do so.

THE FLORAL OFFERINGS.
No such wonderful profusion OF ex-
quisite offerings has been seen in
Washington since the Obsequies OF
The late President Mckinley as to-
day filed the Massachusetts avenue
residence of President Spencer and
the chancel at st. Johns church.
These tributes came from all parts
of the country. There were carloads
of beautiful emblems wrought from
the rarest OF cut flowers. Only a few
wagon loads Of the floral offerings
were displayed at the church. From
the time the c:,sket containing the
remains of Mr.. Spencer arrived in
Washington it was kept covered with
exquisite cut flowers provided by the
officers of the Southern Railway. The
flowers were changed every day. Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt sent q
wreath OF orchids and white roses,
tied with white satin ribbon; Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks huge
bunch OF chrysanthemums; officers OF
the Southern Railway Il standing
wreath of orchids, lilies OF the valley
and violets; J. p. Morgan q mass OF
rare cut flowers, and E. H. Hartman
a cluster OF American beauty roses,
palms, violets and lilies OF the valley.
By special direction of Mrs. Spencer
all of the floral offerings were distrib-
uted later among the various hos
pitals and claritab bic institutions OF
Washington.
