popular government il the present
stage of political intelligence.
Indeed, Mr.. Palma, according to
Golfers Weekly, has recently per-
mitted the publication of letter in
which he discusses the circumstances
leading to the American interven-
ton, and does not hesitate to say
of his party that "the final aim of
our noble and patriotic aspirations
was not independence. but a stable
government, capable Of protesting
the lives and properties and Of guar
anteeing the rights Of all Inhabitants
Of Cuba, natives and foreigners
alike, and capable also to prevent IL
berty being polluted by anarchlal
armed disturbances. He feels that
their action has been justified by
"the sudden re-establishment OF
peace through the moral and material
influence of the Americans" and
declares that it is "a hundred times
better for our beloved Cuba to be IN
dependent political situation in
which liberty is prevailing than re-
public independent Of sovereign,
but 'discredited and ruined by blast
inc periodical civil strlfes.'
It is evident from this very frank
statement that what is probably on
the whole the most intelligent class
Of the Cuban people is thoroughly
distrustful of the Republican expert
me1ut in Cuba and desires the aid OF
strong hand in the maintenance OF
orderly progress toward civilized in
dependence.
The situation is painful indeed to
all Americans who realize the re-
sponsibilities and dangers Of our Gu
ban relations. Retreat from them is
impossible on both political and ethi-
cal grounds. All We. can hope for
now is that the fears Of Palma are
either disingenuous or exaggerated,
and that the situation will clarity
sooner than seems likely.

HOLD COTTON SAYS JORDAN.
President of Southern Cotton Asso-
citation Urges Farmers to
Stand Firm.

President Harvie Jordan, Of the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued an address to the farmers OF
the south to hold firm a1d keep their
cotton until the price reaches the
level it should attain. Farmers are
also urged TO hold mass meetings IN
their counties and decide upon con-
centrated effort.
The letter is as follows:
"Headquarters Southern Cotton
Association, Atlanta, Ga. November
q. l9O7-In the face Of the present
monetary strineency and the stren-
uous efforts Of bearish manipulation
to depress prices for spot cotton, the
cotton growers all over the south are
standing firm, in their heroic purpose
to maintain the market and prevent
the anticipated panic of rush sales,
so confidently hoped for from certain
speculative sources. The records
show that the crop has moved free
", until quite recently, and the
years obligations, due by the far
mers, largely liquidated. Every
banker, merchant and business inter-
.est in the south should now give ev-
ery possible aid to the growers IN the
present holding movement, until the
price Of spot cotton reaches the high
level it should attain, and force the
payment of it's full intrinsic value.
'sThe recent census ginners' re-
port does not indicates a crop IN ex-
cess of 100000 bales, due to the
very short yield in the southwest.
3tProduction in foreign countries
is reported at least 100000 bales
short as compared with last year.
Exports of American cotton exceed
ed 100000 bales in the last twelve
months, and the demand continues
unabated.
"The money stringeaey is fast be-
inc relieved and the business Will
soon assume its normal level. Sell
no cotton that can be financed, or
held, at present prices. The future
strength Of the cotton growing IN
terests Of the south depends upon
winning the victory in the present
struggle. Let every man in the south
do his fn1 duty and the reward will
be sure 9. swift in the realization
of higher prices. ,
"Farmers, merchants, bankers and
business interests generally favorable
to the holding movement should hold
mass meetings at once in their res
pective counties or parishes and de-
termine upon concentrated effort
and an effective cooperation.
Yours truly,
"Harv::. Jordan,
"President Southern Cotton Asso-
ciation.'

THE STRONG HAND IN CUBA.
The Most Intelligent People in the
Island Distrust the Native Gov
eminent.
CHICAGO Evening Post.

Chicago Evening Post. .
When at the fall of the Palma
Government in Cuba the United
States was compelled to intervene,
the taking of census was recognized
not only as a desirable or even neces-
sary measure precedent to the estab-
lishment Of political order, but also
as a convenient and plausible excuse
for postponing the withdrawal of our
control.
This latter aspect of the matter
need not be blinked, because it does
not imply any wish or intent to keep
that control longer than is absolute
" necessary to the restoration or
rather the establishment of political
peace and social order on grounds
reasonably promising permanence.
\ The census, however, is now COM
9lete, and there is a demand among
Cuban leaders of the aggressive type
for settling Of the day for munich
pal and national elections based on
its results.
Unhappily, if surface indications
NAV be credited and some well-ln-
formed opinion relied upon, condl-
tons are still far from promising.
The chief disturbing element is still
potent. That is, the so-called Liberal
party is still divided by the rival am
billions Of Gomez, who was the Lib
eral candidate against Palma and IS
very popular with the masses, and
} of Alfredo Zayas. president Of the
party. The potentialties of dlsor-
J der in tlis rivalry seem about as
great as ever.

GREAT ACTIVITY At
BIG TOBACCO FARM
ONE OF THE PRETTlEsT ORCH.
ARDS IN TEXAS JUST WEST OF
THE cITY-uP-To-DATE.

Saturday afternoon a Herald man
accepted the invitation Of Mr.. c. H
Widener. owner. to visit his beautiful
fruit farm three and one-half miles
west of the city. In the party were
Mr.. Widener OF independence, Iowa,
owner of the farm: Mr.. II. w Vinct,
superintendent of the farm; Secretary
Sterne of the Board of Trade, and a
Herald man.
Mr. Widener has only been down
from his Northern home two or three
days, and when he left there the tenn
perature was below zero, so it can
be imagined how he enjoyed the open
hack drive to the country. 1t was
bracing and warm enough to go with
out top coat. But it is about the
farm we want to talk.
Less than one year ago Mr.. Widener
bought the fruit farm known as the
Wood Bros. farm, consisting of some
two hundred acres, set to the very
best grade of fruit trees, the greater
number OF. trees being the famous Ell
berta peach. On the two hundred
acres of land there are approximately
twenty or twenty-one thousand trees.
and all of them are bearing. There
are in addition to the many thousands
of Elbertas, fifteen acres in Keiffer
pears and as many more acres in the
Mamie Ross peach, and a good acre
age of plums. And such an orchard.
The soil has been cultivated until il
is almost level, and is perfectly clean
of any growth except the trees. and
around the root and as high as two
feet on the body of each fruit tree
throughout the big orchard whitewash
and glue has been put until the effect
is one of beauty However, the white
wash and glue were not applied for
the effect of the landscape, but to
keep the trees in good health. Many
fruit men in this section who have
visited this farm say it is the prettiest
orchard in Eastern Texas. Mr.. Vinct, |
superintendent of the farm, is a tire. |
less worker, and his work shows fine
knowledge of the business.
In addition to the acres and acres |
of trees, all of similar size and form,
the farm contains about forty-five
acres of the finest orangburg soil in
the county. This is the fine tobacco |
land. The big tobacco farm is only a
short distance east of this orchard.
Mr.. Yinct is getting eadx TO nlant
potatoes and other crops between his
fruit trees. and expects to make the
land produce good money outside of
the fruit crop.
This is a strictly business institu-
ton, and it shows indications that it
is going to be big success.
Mr.. Widener expects to return North
in few days, but will come back in
the fruit season. He has one of the
prettiest and most promising orchards
in the great fruit belt. And he has
great confidence in the future of this
country as a fruit and vegetable pro
