 The president of thh organiza- tion makes this strong plea for an effective opposition to the further encroachments of the trust builders:
 Competition is as necessary to the health and existence of the travelling man as blood is to the human frame but competi- ton is the very thing that these
 rade viathans are organized to crush out, and when it does the travelling man goes with it.
 It is impossible to say how many commercial travellers have lost their jobs by reason of these combinations, bnt many think that fifty thousand will not cover it. There is absolutely no rec ompense for this loss, and men depr we'd of their positions are relcgated to the already over- crowded ranks of competitors for less lucrative positions. and the money which they distribute with a free hand to the country hotel keepers. liverymen and tradesmen in all lines now go to swell the coffers of the trusts. ]"

REPUBLICANS AND TRUSTS

More Republicans, more trusts.
 It is a logical result.
 Republican policies have fos- tered the trust germs until they have grown into mammoths, and the Trust Mammoths have kept the Republicans in power.
 Now the public is awakening to the fact that Trusts cannot be combatted unless their creators and sponsors are discredited.
 Should the Republicans win this election it will mean the springing up of an army of Tar tiff protected trusts all over the country that shall drive out the competitive principle from all lines of business.
 The president of the Commer- cial Travellers antitrust league says that 90 per cent of the trusts have been formed since 1898, and all of them since 1896, covering a majority of the ne- cessities of life and absorbing 3,l34 concerns.
 The travelling men of the United States are up in arms over the possible continuance of a condition productive of trusts and combines and mergers and this league is doing splendid work in educating the commer- cial men to a proper understand ing of their own interests in the

PROSPERITY

Next to the doctrine of eter- nal salvation, nothing will more strongly appeal to the business community than an increase of business and a return of business prosperity" said the man who presided over the Interstate Con- gress of Commercial Travellers the othe1 day. This leads us to sugge. t a way that would add greatly to the business exche- quor.
 Let the gin mills be closed, dismantle the brewery and dis tillery, abolish the liquor busi- ness, and not less than two and a quarter billions of dollars now spent for intoxicating liquors would be turned into the chan nels of legitimate trade. It is time that the business man begin to sit up and take notice that this sum is almost equal to the total wage roll of all the manu- featuring establishments in the United States. This money changes hands to the detriment of those who spend it and the people have just that much less with which to buy what they need at home to make them com- fortable and pleasant.
 Our government would spend vast sums of mon y and run the disk of foreign war to open for ONE billion dollars worth of goods every year on the other side of the globe. We can have a mar ket for more than twice that sum at our own door by simply closing the saloon.

Yesterday afternoon a damag- ing fire was averted at the home of Cal Burk about one mile north of town, by the peesence of mind of Mrs. Burk. There was about 2,OOO pounds of seed cotton in a small house in the yard and the children set it on fire some way, and when Mrs. Burk noticed it she had the presence of mind to wet lot of blankets and smother it out.

GRIFFIN ON NIGHT RIDING

Little Rock, Ark. October b. Ben L. Griffin, former secre- tary and treasurer of the Far mers'Union, and now one of it's lecturers, was in the city last night on his way home to Con- way, and when speaking of the night riding scares, said there was little to them. He spoke of being up in Poinsett courty de- livering some lectures in the early part of the week, and see- ing a number of orders posted there which were supposed to be put up by mischievous boys. He said an order on the door of one mercantile house one morning demanding that the merchant buy no cotton at all, and on the following morning it had been replaced with one warning the
 erchant to buy all the cotton he could, and take in all of his contract cotton at once. MT. Griffin said the burning of the cotton in Craighead county some time ago was spite work, and not the work of any organized band. MT. Griffin was optomis- tic on the night rider question, and said the union strongly con- demns it, yet admitted the notices which are being placed about on gins and stores were doing a great deal to put a stop to any activity in the cotton market.
