THE @MAN LAND"

THE "MAN LAND"
little boy. little boy, would you go so1
soon
To the land where the grown man
lives2
Would you barter your toys and your
fairy things
For the things that the grown man
gives?
Would you leave the haven whose
doors are set
With the jewels Of Loves alloy
For the land of emptiness and regret?
Would you go. little boy, little boy?
It's land far off, little boy, little boy,
And the way is dark and steep;
And once you have passed through its
doors, little boy,
You mayn't even come back to sleep.
There is no tucking in, no goodnight
kiss,
! No mornings of childhood poy.
It's passion and pain you give for this;
Think well. little boy, little boy!
Little boy, little boy. can't you see
the ghosts
That live in the land of there;
The Broken hearts, fair hopes all
dead;
!, Lost faith and grim despair.
There's train for that land in the
after yesrs,
When old Time rushes in 10 destroy .
Fhs Wall that stands tween the Joy
and tine tears
So don't go little boy, little boy!

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-09

in a statement, why the Farmers
Union was not ready to join in the
cotton warehouse receipt movement
inaugurated at that meeting.
An exact reproduction of the state
ment made by him, as setting forth
the attitude of the Farmers Union, is
as follows:
There appears a radical difference
OF opinion on one vital point. The
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union has gone on record as favoring
plan of procedure that will preserve
the identity of the sale of cotton from
the time it takes shape at the gin until
1T loses its form at the mill, and to
that end we are building warehouses
for the purpose of properly protecting
the cotton. We are devising plans by
which we can keep correct record of
each package from the gin through
the warehouse and along all it's meand-
erings until its final destination is
reached at the mill where it's form
is to be changed.
Our reason for this will become ap-
parent as you think over the situation.
We want the farmers to take pride in
putting and keeping his product in
marketable condition. We want him
to become anxious to place his name
on each bale, just as does the manu-
facturer of every meritoriius article
Of commerce. We understand that
certain manufactured articles have be-
come standard because Of the pride
taken in perfecting and maintaining
the quality Of the goods. We also find
that certain largo commercial and
banking interests have been built up
and maintained by painstaking exact
ness in working out the details Of bust
ness. This we propose to do through
our warehouses.
"That the spinner will agree with us
there can be no doubt, as what he
wants is actual cotton. This he is sure
to get if he deals with the farmer di-

A CLEAN SENATOR.

Senator John r. Morgan, Of Ala
bama, occasionally writes magazine
articles which involve a great deal of
research, but he uniformly refuses to
accept pay for them. In the course
of his public career he has been of
fered innumerable railroad passes. but
never accepted any, either for himself
or any member of his family. Though
over so years old, he thinks nothing
of working half the night The sena-
tor never haunts the departments look

CAS- soon as we struck what we
thought to be the bottom of the Bir-
mingham movement, We politely with
drew and notified them that We would
have nothing to do with it.
Fears Southern Cotton Association.
eff the Southern Cotton Association

jury to the farmers of the South by it's
constant alignment with Wall street.
and with the spinning interest. When
ever you hear of the farmers of the
South tying up with the spectators
Of Wall street and with the spinning
interests, which naturally want low
priced cotton, right then and there you
may be prepared to look for a new
period of low-priced cotton. We have
forced high-priced cotton by our indie
pendent and organized effort. We pro
pose to be just and reasonable with
the spinners, and not to extort penny
from them by charging more for our
cotton than its actual worth.
"But the time has passed when they
can get our cotton at a penny's less
value than it is actually worth, and
likewise the time has passed when the
Wall street speculator can beat down
our cotton and enable the markets Of
the world to buy it at less than it's
true value.
"This thing has been done by the
Farmers Union, and, despite come Of
the highest officers of the Southern
Cotton Association-and having done
this much we do not propose to tie
up any further with the Southern Cot
ton Association until it unties itself
from Wall street and the spinners."
Why Farmers Union Did Not Approve.
At a recent meeting OF agricultural
organizations, representatives of spin
ners and bankers in Birmingham, Ma

spin negotiable receipt than he can
a paper contract Therefore, all he
wants to know is that the farmer that
produces the cotton, the warehouse
man that weighs it, the cotton union
or exchange that transfers the title
are each responsible for their share
in the process Of transfer, and the
point the banker should be vitally in
terested in is that it is actual cotton
and not paper contracts that he is
riSking his money on. The Farmers
Union proposes to actually meet these
conditions by absolutely refusing to
part company with the cotton until
the price agreed upon by the National
Union has been reached.
1--WE are told that this cannot be
done, because of the economic law of
supply and demand, and there are peo-
pie SO short-sighted as to think that
we hope to abrogate that law. Our
purpose is to enforce the law of sup
ply and demand in fixing the price.
We will first fully consider the actual
demand in view of the probable sup
ply and then fix an equitable price.
based upon supply and demand, legiti-
mately coupled with the cost of pro-
ductiOn. When this is done we shall
maintain the price by regulating the
supply to the demand. This can be
done only by our being in position to
take care of the sO-calIed distressed
cotton hO;
on the market. Here is the first place
we see for the banker to legitimately
enter the proposition. If he will fur
nish us cheap money on actual cotton,
allowing us to retain ownership until
our prices are reached or We get ready
to sell he can cooperate with us. The
next place the banker can help us is
in handling bills of lading. Here,
again, the banker is interested in our
preserving the identity of our cotton
and not letting it be swallowed up
by bill of lading that like a certif-
cate or paper contract, may be fake.
"The spinner is very much inter
ested at this point. He wants the
banker to be absolutely sure that the
bills of lading represent actual cotton.

board the cars. To know this he not
only wants the number, grade and

wants the car initials and number
Gentlemen, in view of these facts
and the further fact the speculator
and market manipulation more fully
understands the processes of Juggling
with certificates and paper contracts
than does the actual farmer we would
respectfully suggest that the putting
on foot of this proposed exchange be
deferred until a more thorough equip
ment of the machinery of warehousing
and grading is perfected and a more
definite understanding with the spin
ners is reached on a question of a di-
rect deal. Hoping that our position
has been made sufficiently clear and
that you may intelligently compre-
hend just where we are, we thank you
for the privilege of thus presenting our

the meeting said to have been called
by bankers and spinners with the view
of organizing a cotton warehouse
movement.
I'VE were invited to this meeting"
stated Mr. Eubanks. Sin order that we
might hear this question discussed.
Our Alabama state business agent, p.
f. Parker, was there, and also a few
other Farmers Union representatives.
THE announcement has gone out"
continued Mr.. Eubanks, that plan
was agreed upon at this meeting, and
that it had the endorsement of both
the Farmers Union and the Southern
Cotton Association. Nothing could be
further from the truth Alabama State
Agent Parker has already sent out a
denial of the statement, making it
clear that the Farmers Union has not
endorsed the plan promulgated.

81 may as well be frank" said State
Agent Eubanks "and say that as soon
as we got to Birmingham, we found
that the meeting was all cooked and
primed by the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation. The invitation we received
came not from it, but from Others the
Southern Cotton Association evidently
fearing to take the lead in the move
ment on account of it's odorous con-
nectiOn with Mr.. Hoadley, of Wall
street. So We were invited by others,
but we did not take the bait. From
all we could see, one end of the fish
ing pole was in Wall street, and we
have no doubt that SpeculatOr Hoad-
ley was eagerly feeling for tremors at
the handle end to see whether or not
the nibblers at the other end of the
line meant business.
Too Close to Wall Street
eve must make it plain now that
We cannot and will not cooperate with
the Southern Cotton Association, as
long as it is Officered by men as close
to Wall street as are some of it's pres
ent head officers. Less than six
months ago Mr.. Hoadley, in an inter
view, boldly made the statement that
he was kept constantly in touch with
cotton development in the South by
almost daily communication with Pres
ident Harvie JOrdan-that Mr.. Jordan
let him know just what was going on
etc. That came only short while
after the time when the Southern Cot
ton Association endeavOred to force
the Farmers Union to make stand
for 1O-cent cotton for last season. We
would not do it, but made a straight
out fight for 11-cent cotton, and large
ly as the results of our efforts most
of the last years crop has sold at
nearer II cents than 10 cents. If we
had agreed to 1O-cent cotton, not one
bale of cotton in the South would have
brought more than that figure.

Gas to the Birmingham warehouse
movement plan was proposed by
this convention to establish a cotton
exchange for handling warehouse re-
ceipts, closing contracts on them in
stead of spot cotton. Our plan is for
the Farmers Union to deal only in
spot cotton, and to sell direct to the
spinner. We are establishing ware
houses throughout the South, and at

Railway Company Pushing Work on
Its Underground system,

The announcement that Secretary Taft
has given the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon railroad until December 1 to
install the underground system from the
new Highway bridge into the city was re-
ceived with pleasure by the several thou
sand Alexandrians who use the line daily
in coming to and departing from this city.
1t was feared the cars would be required
to stop at the end of the bridge until the
work could be completed. The company is
pushing the work on the change in the
grade of the tracks at the foot OF 14th
street. and in constructing the new tracks
over the new concrete bridge across the
tidal basin outlet, and as soon as this
work is completed the putting in Of the
conduts for the underground rail across
the Potomac Park will be started.
The iron work and other material to be
used in the underground system across the
park have been on hand for several weeks.
and there will, therefore, be delay for
want of material. 1t is stated that the
railway company will have the changes
from overhead to underground electric
power completed and in service long be-
fore the expiration of the extension of time
just authorized by the War Department
authorities.
