ANSWER MADE
TO JAMES L. HAMILTON

Editor Daily Sentinel
The National orchard hea ter peo-
pie say that Mr.. Hamilton was the
originator of the "pop-gun test" both
in the city park last spring and also
the demonstration in the w. c.
Knight orchard on First Fruit ridge,
and did not have the courage to
set his one acre with the Troutman
oil pot and with the coal pot peo-
pie.
His sole intention was to knock
the coal pots
That the public may know the
facts and the exact position we take
in regard to Mr.. Hamilton's s letters
in the morning newspaper of Novem-
ber 20, we wish to say, in the first
place. we never have doubted for one
moment the fact that Mr.. Hamilton
saved his fruit crop, and that. too.
with the California oil pot. T c.
Matlack did the same thing and with
equally as good results and j. G.
Plank did not have either oil pots
or coal pots and with equally as good
results so far as his crude material
held out; and others might be men
toned similarly situated in the east
end of the valley.
We have made the statement hun
dreds of times that we absolutely
know that a fruit crop can be saved
with the California oil pot We have
never admitted or said that we have
coal pot or that we had an oil pot
Just as good as the California oil
pot; but we have said that we have
a better orchard heater. both coal
and oil, than is the California oil
pot. and stand ready to back up the
assertion by actual demonstration.
But. why these impersonal letters
| (as Mr.. Hamilton terms them) Why
does he hide behind such silly talk
when the facts are that they are
paid advertisements?
Now, Mr.. Hamilton. it has been
our understanding all the time that
you We're the prime mover in what
| you term the popcorn" tests. We
did not enter the contest a few weeks
ago, and we said at that time that
you would not. We were right We
! did not believe, when we invited you
to come into this demonstration. that
You would do 1t. But this little Cal
| ifornia oil pot will be there and will
/ be burned Just as you have recon-
mended. and we believe we will be
able to show the public whose or
chard heater is 80 per cent below the
standard.
The general public believes and
] knows that you saved your fruit crop
Win tue NallIOrnla OIL pot, Dut the
| public does not believe (neither do
WEI that you can raise the tempera-
ture IL or II degrees burning so
pots on one single acre: and we are
| frank to say. Bro. Hamilton. that we
don't believe that you believe it. And
| further, the public does demand "A
demonstration on an acre, or pop-
corn demonstration las YOU call it),
not particularly with you. but with
the California oil pot They not only
demand it. but are going to have it.
IT our heaters will not stand the test
with the California Oil pot. placed
under equal conditions, they must
fall. You Mr.. Hamilton. for some
reason unknown, do not wish to
grant this test. But, as you say.
there are others. We will have the
test. The fruit growers themselves
viii render the verdict after the re-
port is published. and you. as well
as ourselves. will have to abide By
it. whether it suits us or not.
Respectfully,

JUST A WORD ON SLAVERY.

Senator Hepburn, of Idaho. is terri
bly, wrought up over slavery in the
Philippines. It might be well for him
to look nearer home. Perhaps there is
slavery in the Philippines and that it
ought to be suppressed. But there is
also slavery in North Carolina and
slavery in South Carolina, Georgia, vir-
GINA, West Virginia. Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and California. And
there Is likelihood that it exists to a
greater or less degree in other states.
In Gastonia, CASTOR county, North
Carolina. there are seven cotton mills
which run at night and work little girls
in IL hour shifts, from in the evening
until in the morning. Many Of these
girls are under II years old.
1t has been estimated in round num-
bers that there are 10000 boys and girls
of the primary school age in our south
ern states, who are working in mills,
some of them 10 hours day, some of
them IL, and some Of them working
nights. The states afford these chill
dren no protection against the covet-
BUSINESS Of parents and mill owners.
That is slavery. 1t Is a worse kind Of
slavery than any which exists in the
Philippines. II you will pardon the
thought. 1t is worse than the slavery
of the blacks before the war. For the
blacks were so treated that they grew
and throve physically. The little white
boys and girls-the descendants of our
purest American stock u men who
fought at Kings Mountain and who
followed Morgan and Green through
those mountain marches and battles of

fore their time. With them the race
dies. Is there any slavery of black or
yellow men equal to this? It would

ers to look at home. and seeing. act.

ANNCoNsIs1,ENr VAIL.

Another class Of men who do not
agree with President Roosevelt are the
makers OF news paper. A fiat recon-
mendation was made by the president
in his message for the removal of the
duty on wood pulp and paper, and 1t
was as the result of that recommends
ton that the mournful tale of the paper
makers was told in the national house
of representatives a few days ago by
Mr.. TirreIl of Massachusetts,. The
burden Of this wall was that the max
ers are producing paper at the very
lowest price consistent with decent
profit under the conditions. To let in
foreign made paper or paper materials
free of duty would wreck their business
which is as legitimate as any American
industry.
This is an exceedingly pretty tale
and would be convincing but for some
facts in connection with it. The price
of news paper has been steadily rising
for the past year. At first the manufac-
turers gave as a reason the claim that
the demand was increasing faster than
they could increase the supply. But
when the users of paper, alarmed at the
rising price, with one consent combin-
ed to decrease their consumption, paper
mills at once began to run on shorter
hours and with reduced forces. This
does not confirm the assertion that they
were strained beyond their ability be-
fore.
Now in the face Of a con gressional
proposition to remove the duty, the
makers put up the plea that their ma
terial has gone up so that they cannot
make paper as oheaply as before. Pa
per making materials are constantly
growing scarcer, 1t Is true, but all the
big paper making concerns control
their own timber lands, and have done
so for years. So that argument is
punctured.
Representative Tirren, as the cham
pion of the paper makers, tells congress
that we make better paper in this
country than is made anywhere in the
world. Then why fear the competition
of cheap paper from the outsider Those
who use paper know what's what. and
they will have the best.
All in all, the wall of the paper MAX
ers has some inconsistencies. It does
not prove that the duty. which public
interest demands the abolition of. pro-
fecta them

KANSAS ONAENT
BUY STAMPS IN ADyANcE.

BUY STAMPS IN ADVANCE.
IN anticipation of the cold weather.
perhaps. and because of the complaints
OF the rural carrier, the postoffice de-
partment is again calling attention to
the practice of placing coin to be used
IN payment for stamps in the boxes
along the rural routes.
People living in the country should
provide themselves with stamp books
or should purchase such a quantity OF
stamps as will supply them Tor some
Tune. Placing the money in the boz
always causes trouble for the carrier.
Just imagine how pleasant it is on I.
frosty morning to remove your gloves
and hsh out pennies from cold metal
box with your bare hands. Then re-
nect that the rural carrier is a sus-
ceptiblesto cold as yourself.
In case 1t is impossible to keep a
large supply of stamps in the house, q
small wooden or metal cup which is
detachable should be placed in the
box, the money inside of it. This will
make less trouble for the carrier and
VIII prevent the delay caused by
placing the money loose in the mail
box.
One rural carrier. in speaking of
the matter, said that he had, during
the last fifteen months, picked 1900
pennies, one at time, out of the boxes
and cold fingers, and both can be pre-
vented by following the recommends
lions. If the people who drop pennies
in the mail boxes during the winter
should cover q route for a week they
would hardly revert to the practice of
placing money in the boxes. Either
buy your stamps in advance or use the
cup as coin receptacle.-Salina
Journal.
THOSE LAND FRAUDS.
The statement of the superintendent
Of the Las Animas forest reserve that
fully 75 per cent of the homestead en-
tries in that district were fraudulent
but it is doubtless true. So many land
frauds have been discovered recently
that people are not surprised at any
statement officials may make in regard
to offenses of this class.
1t is far cry from the object Of the
officials responsible for the homestead
law, as we have grown to know it, to
the use to which the law has been put
and the manner in which its privileges
have been abused. Cattle barons. sheep
has made them blind to right and
wrong SO far as the deed itself is con-
cerned, have taken advantage of those
of poorer circumstances and weak by
nature. and in many cases homestead
entries have resulted. Both are to
blame and both should be punished.
but the man who. because of his
wealth, is in a position to tempt and
does tempt his less fortunate brother
should be punished the more severely
of the two.
One of the most commendable works
of the present administration Is that
Of Furnishing the men guilty Of land
frauds. This work has had chas-
tening effect and should be continued.
There should be no let up to the pros
ecution of the men who are robbing
the country of the land intended to
furnish homes for the great masses OF
people It was the intention Of the
men responsible for the homestead
system that every American should
have a home. And the land should
not be perverted from this use.-Salina
