How Prohibition Helps the Farmer
ATLANTA Georgian.)


a significant story comes from the
cotton fields of Georgia. story
that is almost as strange as would
be the statement that Kansas had
more harvest hands than it could
use For the first TIME in many
years-so many few remember when
it was otherwise-the report comes
that there is plenty of labor for the
cotton harvest
A few days after the passage Of
the prohibition bill by the Georgia
legislature Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Hudson gave the Georgian an
interview. He stated that the prohibit
ton law would 90 very far toward
solving the constantly growing prob
lem of labor on the farm. Himself a
farmer, Commissioner Hudson had
marked the trend away from the
farm.
The drift of negroes to the towns
and public works had become so
constant that it was seriously inn
periling agriculture in the state. The
farmers offered high wages, but it did
not seem an inducement to labor TO
remain on the farms The negro is
a sociable creature, and he likes to
congregate where there are many of
his own people The drift to the
cities began years ago. and the sa-
looms proved strong magnets. That
is fact no one will seriously deny.
So grave had become the situation
in parts of the state that farms were
practically abandoned, and thousands
of fertile acres lay untitled, simply
because labor could not be secured.
Commissioner Hudson knew that the
removal of the saloons meant that
hundreds of the negro hands and
families would go back to the country.
That his prediction has proved true
is shown by the statements that the
supply of hands to pick the cotton,
now whitening the fields, meets the
demand, and wages are very much
lower than year ago. A year ago
/ farmers were compelled to pay cotton
pickers more than the price of the
staple warranted.
If prohibition has the effect of
| making farm labor plentiful and COM
petent; if it keeps the negroes on
the farms and thus helps revive ag-
riculture to its best, then prohibition
has accomplished a great deal

WHO SOLD Us THE CANAL?
Jacksonville Times-Union)

Perhaps it was only a financial
transaction" by which a group of
financiers in this country sold to
our government for $40,000,00O a pro-
perty that had been bought for less
than 100000, but we did not act
blindly because Senator Nor
gan made the fact so plain
that congress shrank from the
Job and left the responsible
itv to the president But the poll
ticians of today deny there was
any syndicate with influence" be-
tween the French shareholders and
the purchasers on this side and the
denial will bring on more talk IL
there was nothing wrong why seek
cover and desire concealment? On
what other hypothesis is it possible
to explain the sudden rise and present
influence of Cromwell?
Inspired by charges lately made
and the denials, the Chicago Daily
News instituted an investigation in
Paris and claims were produced for
the committee by Senator Morgan, but
| Cromwell refused to name his asso-
ciates and was protected in refusing.
! Here is the substance of the state
ment made by the Daily News:
On several occasions political
| agents have been in Paris investigat-
| ing reports that an American syndf-
cate. and not the French company
really sold the canal to the United
| States. but they were unable to OBJ
/ tain the complete details. T he last
/ Investigator was certain Col. Bacon
| who grew weary over the obstacles
/ placed in his way, but who returned
with sufficient data, so it is said, to
make things hot" for the members
| of the syndicate concerned. These
men, so say officials who CAME IN
contact with them were Char
les P. Taft, William Nelson Crom-
well and J. Pierpont Morgan
/ the last named being much in the
| background There were several
| others whose names cannot be given
with certainty; but it is alleged thai
there is no mistake about the three
names, mentioned
Mr.. Charles P. Taft is now financ-
ing the campaign of his brother for
the presidency: Mr.. Cromwell is an
important figure in the battle and Mr.
Morgan is not without power since
the secretary of the treasury may be
ordered to serve under him Whe1
banks are going 10 smash and de-
positors are denied the sums due then
without rebuke from the officials
sworn to enforce the law. Perhaps
this investigation is another one oil
those that some would desire tc
postpone till after the election, but
when exposures are demanded they
should be given a free field. Let us
know about the Panama deal-per-
haps America lost something as well
as Colombia

is something decidedly lacking in
school system, or a home system, or

then finds it necessary to institute
special classes to train them in their

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
T treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being

and to get up many times during the

1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
