GOV. Noel has asked President
Roosevelt to remove Capt. Ira c.
Welbom as military instructor at
the A. Il NJ. college at Starkville-
The ground upon which the removal
is requested is the breach Of mill
tarv discipline OF which the captain
was guilty In sympathizing with the
students who were i'm state Of in
subordination and rebellion The
first principle of military law is
based ON respect and obedience to
authority, the prime function being
to enforce those qualities wherever
they are lacking. Capt. Wei
born, evidently, is guilty of seri-
-etfs breach Of military discipline,
no matter what merit the complaint
of The student body may or may not

it was his business to observe mill
tary rules, and not his prerogative
to pass ON whether those in au-

Organization and Lecture Work

With the view of increasing the
membership this year, your Execu-
tive Board have decided to send a
Lecturer to each County, County
officers o-perating with the plans
of work adopted by dashboard
The State President will divide
the State into convenient dictricts
and assign the members of the lee
ture bureau to work in the several
districts as will best serve the ends
sought to be accomplished. The
county officers who wish to cooper
ate with this work must write to
the State President G.RHightower,
at Oxford, Miss, for detailed in
formation
INVESTIGATION.
The experience Of a century has
proven that the man who follows
the one-crop cotton idea is a failure,
while the man who grows many
crops is prosperous and happy. 1t
is also truth that the improvement
of the soil of this country has be-
come a necessity for the production
of any crop. He who can grow
two blades Of grass where one form
erly grew is a benefactor to man
kind. " This leads US to urge every
member of the Farmers Union and
every citizen Of Mississippi who re-
CARDS his own interest to adopt a
system of soil improvement and
crop Investigation.
CREDIT SYSTEM.
One of the fundamental doctrines
advocated by this organization is
to abolish the credit system from
the face of the earth. To this end
your board would especially urge
that no member of.this organization
buy single dollars worth on credit
more than his urgent necessity de-
mands. Our order recognizes the
fact that we are our brother 5
keeper" and those Union brethren
who are more fortunate should lend
limited sums of money to the needy
when satisfactory security can be
given. Thus helping to break down
a pernicious system Of credit at
| high prices.
STATE LECTURER.
Your Board thinks for the sake
of economy and effective work that
| the State Lecturer should visit those
counties first where the bership
is sufficiently interested to group
their locals at central points of the
county, thus bringing together the
embership of. several Locals &c
hear the Lecturer at one point. We
can thus give each county about
five days at a time. He will only
visit those counties for the present
where the mem bership viii make
this arrangement and they agree tC
convey him from one point to an
other.
FINANCING THE CROP OF 1908.
This Board approves the plan tC

banks of Mississippi to the end that
not single bale of cotton shall be
forced on the market next fall.
MARKETING COTTON.
To satisfactorily market a crop
worth eight hundred million dol
lars is a great problem, and one
that will require years Of thought
and a degree Of patience not yet
manifested by the cotton growers oil

dent of this organization will KEEP
in touch with all warehouse mana
gers and viii visit them during the
summer with the view Of federating
them into one central organization
and thus facilitate the sale of this

the cotton going through their

The plan is to dismiss a certain num-

under the supervision of the members
OF the class which started the work,
