Will Hold For 16 Gents.

Guthrie, 0. T.-Cotton growers in
all parts. of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory held secret meetings, and
discussed the cotton market situa-
ton. 1t was decided to hold the 1907
pick until cotton prices have ad-
vanced to certain point. The cot
ton growers have compact organ
ization and each member is sworn to
secrecy.
1t is rumored the minimum price
at which farmers will sell was fixed
at 16 cents. The action of cotton
growers to hold the crop is consider
ed in a favorable light by financial
concerns, as indicating that the
"flurry'' has not frightened planters
and that they are not in need Of
ready money. The fact that the
banks will not be called on to supply
cotton purchase funds will aid in re-
storing normal conditions. 1t is es--
timated that over 10000 bales Of cot
ton will be held out of the market.

Land Recovery.

Mobile, Ala.-The fling Of deed
for probate will mark the first step
in a contest for lands in Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisian1,
aggregating in value several hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars. The
lands are alleged to have been the
property Of the late DIR. Joseph Chas-
tang, held under the treaty guaran-
tee by the United States government
In the Louisiana Purchase act.
They are now in possession of sew
eral hundred owners, and the allega-
tion is that the lands have never been
within reach. Heirs are institutins
the proceedings.
The property in Louisiana is close
ly adjacent to New Orleans. In Ala
bama it embraces some Of the mosi
valuable property in the city Of Mo.
bile. In Florida the lands are in Es-
Gambia and Santa Rosa counties, and
in. Mississippi they extend along the
coast in places from Scranton to Bay
st. Louis.

Wants Rich Malefactor.

President Roosevelt does not like
to be criticised. No criticism of the
administration hurts him and his per-
sonal feeling more, or more precisely
no criticism exasperates more, than
the criticism which declares that he
has landed no "malefactor of great
wealth" in Jail. He is, trying hard,
using all the machinery of the govern
ment, to put some specimen of "suc-
cessful dishonesty" in prison stripes,
and when some newspaper or public
man asks him why he does not do it
he can only writhe and impotently
grit his teeth. He is striving to
please, but he can not catch a rich
malefactor, in the classic Devery
phrase, "with the goods.

The state agents have been busy
raiding "blind tigers" and had seiz-

sewers. The liquors had been seized
in broken packages, and rather than

cold be sold, under the STATE law. 1t
was decided to destroy it.

ems Of New York and Lawrence, L.

yer is one of the small coterie of girls
who are numbered among the per-
sonal favorites of the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt. Since her return
from Canada, where she spent the
summer, Miss Oliver has been the
frequent companion of Mrs. Roose-
welt and Miss Ethel Roosevelt on
their horseback rides in the afternoon.
She is an experienced horsewoman
and popular girl.

INCREASING TIE
CIRCULATION
MANY BANKS FOLLOW COMP
TRoLLER'S SUGGESTIONS.
In Suppression of tuberculosis. Be-
lieves Future Will See the Dread
ed Disease Stamped Out. Valua-
BILE Relics Received.

Treasury officials are agreeably
surprised at the number of banks
throughout the country which have
already indicated their purpose to
comply with the suggestion of the
Comptroller of the Currency Ridge
ly that additional circulation be TAX
en- out. A large number Of kilograms
were received at the department ask
ing for additional circulation, vary
ing in amount from a few thousand
dollars to two millions. George l..
Roberts, former director Of the mint
and now president of the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, is here,
and has engaged $2,0OO,0O0 additional
circulation for his bank.
Sol Wexler, vice president of the
Whitney-Central National Bank of
New Orleans, is also here and is
makig arrangements to materially in
crease his holdings. Other prominent
bankers, through Washington repre-
sentatives. are arranging to deposit
the necessary securities preparatory
to taking out national bank notes
to the limit Of their capital stock.
The Comptroller now has in his vaults
national bank currency to the amount
of $167, 100000, and while consider
able proportion of this amount be-
longs to banks that have already
reached their limit under the law, 4
very large sum is available for banks
that carry only comparatively
small amount when compared with
their capital. One large New York
bank could, under the law, it is said,
within the next ten days outstand cir
culation, and in all probability will
soon ask for material increase. Mr..
Ridgely expressed the opinion that
within the next ten days outsand cir
culation of national banks will have
been increased by from $25,000, 900
to $3O,000,00O, and possibly much
larger sum.

For rourteen-Inch Rifles.

Fourteen-inch rifles may be Install
ed on the new 20,OO0-ton battleships
recommended by the general board.
Ordnance officers are alreay consider
ing plans for them. The idea is to
give the fourteen-inch projectiles the
same velocity as the twelve-inch,
thereby assuring a comparatively fiat
trapectory and accuracy of fire. The
move comes as a sequel to reports re-
ceived from abroad that England is
to have thirteen and one-half-inch
guns for her new ships.

Final Cost of Canal.

In view Of the questions which will
be asked by the democrats in the next
session of congress, government Off
cials have been figuring over the ul-
innate cost Of the Panama canal. The
figures show that the ultimate cost o.
the canal will be in the neighborhood
of $246,0OO,OOO. This is far in excess
of the original estimates and the orig
inal sum named by congress as the
limit within which the expenditures
were to be kept. 1t is thought, how
ever, with the splendid progress made,
there will be little difficulty in having
the limit raised by congress.

Cardinal Interested.

Cordial sympathy with the anti
tuberculosis movement was expressed
by Cardinal Gibbons in letter which
has been received by John S. Fulton,
secretary general of the International
congress on tuberculosis. The car
dinal affirmed the belief that the
white plague would ultimately be
brought under as complete control as
smallpox, yellow fever and other
scourges of humanity have been. Aft
er praising the members of the as
sociation for their benevolent inter
est in the cause Of humanity, the
cardinal continued: "My faith in
The ultimate checking Of tuberculosis
throughout the world is based upon
my own remembrances of that other
sscourge-yellow fever-and the
change that has been brought abont
through the study Of the disease.
Fifty years ago, and even until recent
years, yellow fever was most dread
ed visitor in New Orleans. In one of
the epidemics of the disease | con-
tracted the fever myself. Our free
dom from anxiety, so far as yellow
fever is concerned, we owe to the
men who laid down their own lives
for the benefit ofe,their fellow men.
There was Major Carroll, who died
only month ago after years of suf-
fering caused by his. voluntary SUBJ
mission to incubation with yellow
fever. There was his colleague, DR..
Lazear, who died soon after inocula-
tion. These men were genuine heroes,
and too high praise can not be be-
slowed upon them for their services
to humanity" Reviewing the present
methods of treating tuberculosis, the
cardinal continues: SIN connection
with the program for the interna-
tional Congress of tuberculosis, my
attention has been called to the in
vestigations being carried on by the
men Of science abroad. In France,
in spite of the materialistic avowalsi
of the scientists, the activity in re-
searches, which aim at the ultimate.
betterment of humanity, is marked =

More Courage.

Orders from Washington for the
immediate coming of $15,000,0OO in
double eagles in order to help relieve
the money stringency, finds the Phil
adelphia mint prepared for the task.
It is expected that employees at the
mint will have to work overtime in
order to get the coin out quickly.
Fortunately, the silver coinage for the
year is we'll out Of the way, enough
silver coin having already been turn
ed out in anticipation Of the usual
demand for it during the Christmas
holidays. The coinage Of $15,O0O,O0O
of gold will consume about three
fifths of the bullion now at the mint.

Harahan Optimistic.

Chicago-Construction work on the
Illinois Central railroad will be con-

han, who returned from New York.
Some men might be put out Of work
by the coming of winter, as usual,
but in general work would proceed as
usual There would be no let up on
the work now in progress to finish the
line into Birmingham, said President
Harahan. He believed that financial
conditions in New York were rapidly
assuming normal state and that
throughout the country there would
be no further signs of panic.

The Farmers Union is undergoing
a crucial period at this time. The
demand for reasonable price for
cotton, backed also by the Cotton AS
sociation, is being fought bitterly by
interests that would be inereferred
with and every obstacle possible
thrown in their path. A desperate
effort is being made to hammer the
price to eight cents as has been
threatened, and the battle is royal
one. The Union chain Of warehouses
is being extended and next year the
organization will be stronger than
ever to wage. campaign for an
equitable price. 1t is encumbent on
every member to stand firm now and
use every legitimate means to hold
up the hands Of the officials who are
in the forefront Of battle. Do not
be discouraged if the price is manip-
ulated to a figure that is too low, but
bear in mind that long pull will be
necessary to change condition that
nearly a century has been used in
perfecting. Don't become discor--
aged and say that the Farmers
Union and the Cotton Association are
no good, but add your mite in the way
Of dues and good counsel to keep
the organization together and al
work. Results are bound, to follow
such a course.
