NO MORE TOBACCO
WILL Be GROWN

Of large interest in Wisconsin is
the fact that Kentucky may not grow
any tobacco next year. One of the
most remarkable meetings held in
that state for some time was that a
day or two ago of the National Asso-
citation of Tobacco Growers in Shelby
vile, which was attended by 5000
growers from all parts of the country
The association ratified the action of
the Burley Tobacco Growers associa-
ton, which decided in a meeting at
Winchester not to raise any tobacco
next year. Harry Weissinger of
Louisville, multi-millionaire planter
and formerly connected with the
American Tobacco company, advised
the growers to "cut out" the crop for
next year.
Every warehouse of any conse-
quence in Henderson and greensboro
considerable uneasiness. Especially
is this true as the time for delivering
the tobacco which has been bought
outside the pool approaches. Despite
the fact that the growers declare they
will not pursue any lawless methods.
their banners when they came into
the Henderson steaming district in a
body bore the legend, Peace today,
war tomorrow"
Bodies of growers claiming to be
members of the American Society of
Equity are riding through Mclean
county, notifying buyers to quit the to-
bacco fields until the 1906 crop is
sold and urging growers to pool their
crop with the society.

Of TIMBER
TAKES A TUMBLE

st. Paul, Nov. 4.--The state disposal
of approximately 100000 feet of
timber at the annual sale held at the
state capital.
The highest price reached was $40

tract containing 10000 feet of mixed
timber
The sale realized the state about
5000, 900, of this amount about 1000
being paid down. In all about Al ,00O,-
900 feet of timber was offered for sale.
A year ago out Of 10000, 900 feet Of
fered 100000 was sold and nearly
100000 realized. The average price
received was 1896 per thousand feet,
and the highest figure 1885 for one
tract. The bidding too was spirited.
State Auditor Iverson, who conduct.
ed the sale, said 1t was good one con-
sidering the class of timber offerLi,
and the many small tracts, but the
lumbermen present refused to accept
1t as such. They declared that the ap.
praisals in the face of a dropping mar
ket were entirely too high.

COMMISSIONER BEEDLE THREAT.
EMS TO REVOKE WIS
coNsIN LICENSE.
COMPANY ORDERED TO APPEAR
AND SHOW CAUSE AT
MADISON.
BELIEVED TO HAVE VIOLATED
LAW AGAINST SPECIAL
BOARD CONTRACTS.

Madison, Nov. 4.
insurance Commissioner George E.
Beedle has formally con manded the
Federal Life Insurance company of
Chicago to appear bs.are him on Nc
vember 8 to show caase why the Ii.
cense of this company to operate in
the state OF Wisconsin should not be
declared forfeited and void. The rea.
son for this action is information in
possession of the commissioner to the
effect that this company is issuing
the special board" or advisory
board contracts, which are unlawful
in this state. This form of contracts
has been before the Wisconsin su.
preme court and has been declared
unlawful, and Attorney General Gil.
: bert recently rendered an official opin-
ion that no policyholder could collect
the promised compensation under
such a contract nor is it lawful for
company to continue to pay such
a compensation. 1t is understood
that this company continues to issue
a contract of this unlawful nature and
the insurance commissioner demands
the company to explain itself. The
special contract is a kind of rebate
system under which the policyholder
gets lower rate for supposedly ad-
vising the company as to new risks.
The notice Of the commissioner of in.
surance on the Federal of Chicago is
as follows:
"You are hereby cited to appear be.
fore me in the department of insur-
ance, at Madison, Friday, the Sth day
OF November. 1907, at 2 o'clock D. m,

Bryce Not Superstitious,

1t should be noted that Prof. Bryce is
not supersttious. He will sail for America

cause some men If charged with his work

. dread. Not so this man who reads and
writes books, mingles with savants and
politicians. takes his chances in the every
day hurly-burly. and is coming over here to
do business with plain and practical
people. Still superstition Is not unknown
and not without influence in America Fri
day casts a shadow that in the Inauguration
of enterprises is dreaded. Splitting salt at

throw pinch over the left shoulder, often
takes the taste out of the richest dishes

pay In proportion their penalties for fall
ing to observe certain well defined laws.
The great majority of fires are absolutely
preventable and are therefore needless. II
wires are properly strung rats cannot gnaw
OF the insulation and get them crossed
If matches are properly safeguarded chill
dren cannot play with them. If gasoline is
properly used and stored explosions will not
happen. If hot ashes are properly disposed
of they will not start blazes in cellars. II
furnaces are properly cared for fues Will not
become overheated. II common sense Is ex-
ercised, flowing window curtains and open
gas Jets will not be blown into conjunction.
Eliminate these causes by the substitu-
ton of care for carelessness, and hdelity
and intelligence of service for trifiing G. in
competence, and the fire losses will shrink
to a comparatively low figure. The millions
we are losing each year are the penalty
we are paying for our failure to discipline
ourselves in the use of mans best servant
and worst master
Still We take great credit to ourselves
for our conquests over nature, our har-
Messing of the elements, our discovery of
ways and means of annihilating space and
time. We have achieved striking, even
startling, results, but we have meanwhile
failed to score victory over our own
slothfulness and heedlessness, for which
we annually pay a stupendous sum In fire
losses and another tremendous total of dol
lars in the maintenance of fire departments.
Some day, perhaps, every business build
ing and every dwelling will be constructed
properly, and will be maintained with due
regard to the fire danger. Some day we, as
a progressive. enterprising, intelligent peo-
pie, will wake up to the fact that these hun
dreds of millions are lost because we have
overlooked one of the first rules of advance
ment in our haste to conquer nature

Fire Waste.

We are vain-glOrious people. prone to
boast of our conquest of nature, our
mastery of the elements, our marvellous
strides in science. And still we continue
year after year to suffer waste of mil
lions of dollars by fire, preventable useless
hre. Yesterday. in this city, fire DESTROYED
property valued at probably $4,000, a
large loss for Washington. The cause of
the blaze was stated to have been the de-
fective electrical wiring. How familiar the
phrase! We have done wonders with
electricity. We have harnessed IL to our
needs and adapted 1t to our uses until 1t Is
one of the greatest factors of modern ex-
istence. Yet we have not learned the les
son that We must take pains to confine 1t
to its proper limits We have discovered
that great deal we thought we knew
about wiring and electrical conduction a
few years ago is false. and we have done
something toward correcting the errors.
But many obstacles are In the way OF COM
ing fully UP to the mark OF safety
From bad wiring. from improper methods
In placing and protecting furnace fues.
from the lack of care In maintaining re-
pairs. from the indifference or incompe-
tence of servants. janitors. engineers and

In Germany Today.

Let it be noted with comfort and a certain
instruction that all parties have gone into
today's struggle in Germany with absolute
confidence. The governments managers see
victory The governments opponents see
victory The men who are hoping for the
balance of power so as to be able to force
concessions from both of the extremists see
victory. That is to say statements to this
effect have been breathed into the ears of
newspaper writers and by them literally
distributed over the world
Tomorrow there must be some prophets
without honor in their own country Every
body cannot win at the polls today But
will the authors Of forecasts doomed to die
the death feel shamefaced at the figures
that will be presented? Why should they?
The public will understand. Candidates and
their managers must be confident, and par
lcularly on the eve of election day. 1t Is
the law of the game. And the law must be
obeyed. Transgression Is never to be
thought of.
AS for the prophets who will be justified,
they may be depended upon to make the
most of their laurels. Trust them to put
away praise with a slight motion Of the
hand and smiling face, or to puff up and
look wiser than ever, as their individual
temperament may determine. A prophet on
parade-even an accidental prophets
striking and diverting fellow, and anywhere
worth the price of admission. His strut,
when he struts, makes other strutters en-
vious, and his talk over the veri1cation Of
a prediction sounds like a proclamation
from on high.
All the world loves a lover. Wherever
the ballot is in use the political prophet,
encouraged. He is source of inspiration.
He wakes up the dullard. He cheers on the
enthusiast. He forces smile on the faces
of the faint-hearted If you want the
latest from the front go to him. If you
want the other fellows cheering intelli-
gence discredited go to him. He is your
department store, where everything. on
your own terms. from a new yarn about
the opposition to the best way of denying
the latest yarn about your own side, may
be found. Without him the political world
would be uninhabitable for the average ctti-
zen and all days bleak and drear.
The kaiser who has so much at stake,
does not lack for good Chalmers" Gov
eminent figures are put high. Warnings
about apathy were at the last moment
withdrawn, having served their purpose
probably, and the day has opened SEEM
ingly with everybody on guard. The game
Is played so much as we play it the news
from Berlin reads almost like news from
New York.
