1t is definitely announced that Luke
Wright, by the grace of Roosevelt Sec
rotary of war, will make speeches in
Tennessee in behalf of Taft. Luke
has always claimed TO be a Democrat
and heretofore it has been generally
believed that he was a man Of prin'
ciple. But If he does take the stump
in opposition to his old friends he will
inevitably forfeit the respect of all
men who hold principle above politi-
cal success. Luke ought to take warn

who fell from a position of high es-
TEEN and popularity into merited con-
tempt because he bartered principle
for cabinet portfolio. Even the Re-
publicans despised Keys treachery,

The Fort Worth Star, which last
year was among the first and loudest
of those who yelled TO the farmers
to turn their cotton loose, has become
convert to the doctrine of gradual
marketing. In an editorial on Cot
ton Holding and Common Sense, the
Star says: I'VE all want just what
the farmers want-the greatest
amount of cash that can be realized
by them for all surplus products and
starting on its mission of livening up
and creating business. There may be
and are honest differences of opinion
as to how this end can be most effeo-
tually served, but the preponderance
of opinion seems to be turning toward
gradual marketing from the beginning
of the cotton season to avoid conges-
ton or a flood of selling at any time
during the active cotton months
