The Negro and the New south.

Ray Stannard Baker, in the second
Of his series of articles for the American
Magazine, dealing with the negro prob
lem, condenses his observations into this
phrase: "They want the new South, but
the old darkey." He said he had the
experience of being told that no north
erner can understand the negro as well
as those who have lived with them all
their lives, and then of finding that
these men rarely knew anything about
the better class of negroes, those who
were in business or in Independent occu-
pations, and who owned their own
homes" On the other hand, the best
negroes did not know the higher class of
the white people in the South, and based
their suspicion and hatred upon the acts
of the poor white trash" To this he
attributes the danger of the present sit
nation

Government Dressmak1nS ScnOOl.
Vienna has always been famed for
it's dressmakers. Some women prefer
a gown from Vienna to one from Paris
even. And now the Austrian authori-
ties are taking steps to put the capital
on a higher pedestal in the world of
fashion. The head of the principal
school of dressmaking there has re-
ceiyed instructions from the Ministry
of Education to open special course
for the higher education in the art of
making gowns and all things that ap-
pertain to the clothing Of women.
The tuition will be quite free, the
cost being borne by the Ministry Of Ed
ucation. The course will embrace not
only measuring, cutting out, the draw
ing of patterns and those other subtler
matters which are the essence of really
high-class dressmaking, but bookkeep-
ing. a knowledge of the trades, acts and
in fact, that Is nee
essary to the management of a large
establishment. And all that Is required
to secure this training is that the ap-
pIicant shall have served a three years
apprenticeship. The lessons will be
given in the evening.

Tor declined to discuss Col. Durbin's
story. He admitted That Senator Blink
ley told him many astounding facts,
but said mat, for the reason that
Senator Binkley is dead, he did not
consider it proper to repeat what the
Senator had told him.
Col. Qurbn said that ne has read
certainly the propositions made by
Taylor outlining the terms upon which
he will return to Kentucky.
Taylor is right, said he. His
proposition is entirely fair. He is en-

A new deal in
FARM MARKETING.
Farmers Are Now Selling Their
Grain Direct to Con-
SumerS.

On the 14th of August farmers SELL
ing agencies were established in Kan
sas City and is. Louis for the first
time in the history of American ag-
riculture. Farmers are now going in
TO the large market centers TO sell the
products direct 10 consumers in whole
lots. These new agencies are also
the only agencies in the country, al
the present time whose managers are
directly accountable 10 the producers
for the manner in which their pro-
ducts are handled. Every man en-
ployed by these agencies works on the
salary basis, hence the inducement TO
make as much out of the product as
possible, while IL is being handled
from the producer TO the cosumer, as
is the case with the other class Of
selling agencies, is removed. There is
no reason why these new agencies
should at any time make any effort to
pun millers and other buyers of grain
next to as many bargains as possible
of grain shipped TO them or to help
make it miserable" for shipments of
grain coming from individual or far
mers' elevators.
The missing link which the farmers
have looked for so long has now been
inserted in their marketing machine.
The trouble which farmers elevators
and independent shippers have exper-
fenced in the past for want of the
right kind of selling agencies in the
principal markets has now been re-
moved. 1t is now up to the farmers
independent shippers, and farmers ele
vators to prove by their patronage.
whether or not they are willing 10
build up agencies of their own. 1t
is expected that the old agencis now
established, will do everything in their
power to induce farmers to strive out
their own agencies. They will no doubt
give better deals on gain shipped TO
them than they have ever done be-
fore hoping that by so doing they will
be able 10 create such feeling of
satisfaction among the farmers and
Independent shippers that they will
quit making all the noise and disturb
ance which they have been doing late
ly. II would pay big for them TO have
dope administered to farmers and in
dependent shippers so as TO make
them go TO sleep year or two. Hav
ing learned few things from exper-
fence in the past year ortwo, this won
enable them TO entrench themselves
more strongly than ever before.
Millers will also invite the estab-
lishment of these agencies because ii
will make it possible for them TO OBJ
tain wheat as 1t comesfrom the farm
unplugged and unadulterated.
These agencies are being establish
ed by the Grain Growers Department
of the American Society of Equity,
whose National headquarters are main
