 No other power, he said, could have permitted the disbursement of so great a sum and kept it off the company $ books. Delmas closed with powerful appeal to the jury "not to convict the wrong man."

HOLD COTTON SAYS JORDAN.
fesident of Southern Cotton Asso-
SER citation Urges Farmers to
@ss esSS Stand Firm.

WPresident Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued an address to the farmers Of
the south to hold firm aid 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:
"Headquartcrs Southern Cotton
Association, Atlanta, Ga, November
81, l907.-In the face of the present
monetary strineency and the stren-
nous efforts Of bcarish 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
ly, 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-
cry 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 its full intrinsic value.
"NThc recent census ginncrs' re-
port does not indicates a crop in ex
cess of 100000 bales, due to the
very short yield in the southwest.
"Production an 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 stringency is fast be-
ing relieved and the business will
soon assume its normal level. Sell
no cotton that can bc financed, or
held. at present prices. The future
strength Of The cotton growing in
tcrcSts Of ihc south depends upon
winning the victory in the present
struggle. Let every man in the south
do his full duty and The reward will
be sure and swift in The realization
of higher prices.
"Farmcrs, 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,
"IIarv:r Jordan,
"President Southern Cotton Asso-
ciation."

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-
tion, and does not hesitate to say
Of his party that "the final aim Of
our noble and patriotic aspirations
was not independence, but stable
government, capable of protecting
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 anarchial
armed disturbances He feels that
their action has been justified by
"the sudden re-establislMmemt of
peace through the moral and material
Influence of the Americans,' and
declares that it is ga hundred times
better for our beloved Cuba to be in
a dependent political situation in
which liberty is prevailing than re-
public independent Of sovereign,
but discrcditcd and ruined by blast
ing periodical civil strifes.''
1t 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
mc;pt in Cuba and desires the aid Of
a strong hand in the maintenance of
orderly progress toward civilized in
dependence.
The situation is painful indeed to
all Americans who realize the re-
spo;lsibilities and dangers of our Gu
ban relations. Retreat from them is
impossible Oh both political and cthi-
cal grounds. All We can hope for
now is that the fears of Palma are
either disingenuous or exaggerated,
and that tho situation will clarity
sooner than seems likely.

Chicago Evening Post.
When at the fall Of the Palma
Government in Cuba the U:lited
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-
lshment of political order, but also
as IL convenient and plausible excuse
for postponing the withdrawal of om
control.
This latter aspect Of the matter
need not be blimkcd, because it does
not imply any wish or intent to keep
that control longer than is absolute
ly necessary to the restoration or
rather the establishment Of political
peace and social order on grounds
reasonably promising pcrmanence.

Many Baraboo people must learn
with sorrow of the suicide in Madison
yesterday of E. HI. Cook, who has been
in this city several times in the past

Beta Kappa himself and having both
a son and son-in-law enjoying that
high schol; rly distinction. He was a
past president of the National Educa-
tional association. His old home was
Denver; and there he owned beauti-
full residence. Mr.. Cook was interest
ed in mining and especially in smoke
consumer of interesting possibilities.
The tight money situation is supposed
to have embarrassed and discouraged
him. He leaves a widow and two
children. One son, w. w. Cook, is Of
the University faculty. Mr.. Cook cut
his throat in his bathroom.

(Fron Fridays Daily.i


The lecture given to the Knights of
Columbus and their families and friends
at the A. O. U. w. hall last evening
by Father Nc Cory was as good,
though not SO heavy as the one the
previous evening. His subject was GA
Ramble in the Realms Of Childhood" "
and it was literally illustrated with
100 dissolving views. 1t was plea
for the better training of children. He
showed views of children at play, and
various others to illustrate the points
touched upon. He spoke of the neces-
sity of treating each child differently
as their temperaments are not alike.
Truthfulness is a very important mat
ter, and in teaching child the parent
should practice truthfulness; besides it
is not right to put achild into positions
where he will be tempted to lie, by
threats, he maintained.
The speaker was introduced by Grand
Knight w. d. Nc Guire. The MelZl

Her mother, Mrs. Anna Kramer, says
that he earned good money but
that his wife never saw any of it, in
fact that when he left he took money
belonging to her which she had earned
at the WOolen mill.
lis wife is highly respected, hard
working woman and no cause for his
disappearing can be given. They were
married four years ago. He was origi-

for his straying way.
