or that total, twenty-one new Senators
have entered the body since the first
OF last year. New blood is pouring in
fast and it is to be wondered but little
that the few veterans who remain
foresee gloomy picture in the future.
Five of the present Senators have
failed to obtain the approval of their
party for reelection. These men are
Ankeny, of Washington; Fulton, OF
Oregon; Hansbrough. of North Dako-
Ia; kittredge, of South Dakota. and
Long of Kansas. In almost every case
they have fallen before the onslaughts
with radicalism. One will be succeed
ed by democrat and the rest by re-
publicans. But as the republicans
gain senator in Kentucky. the total,
SO far as results accomplished are
concerned, has not been changed.
Without attempting to make any
predictions as to the future, it may be
stated that the Democrats are hopeful
they may elect a democratic legisla-
ture in Ohio and send a Democrat to
succeed Senator Foraker. The con-
ditions in Indiana are somewhat trou-
bled and in this state Senator Hem
enway Is fighting for his own return.
In Illinois Senator Hopkins is finding
considerable opposition to himself
and what the legislature there may
do is somewhat problematical, as the
primary vote on Senator was badly
split between several candidates. Ii
Colorado goes Republican this year,
Mr.. Teller, one of the old guard, form
erly a republican, but since the free
silver fight of 1896, democrat. will be
retired. 1t is generally admitted that
on account of his age and the peculiar
circumstances existing in the republic
can party in New York that Senator
T. C. Platt, whose term expires next
March, will retire to private life.
Young Men Take Lead.
All these changes look to the sub
stitution of younger and more aggres-
sive men in the senate and as radi-
calism becomes more firmly entrench-
ed it is but fair to assume that 1T will
demand the power that comes with
numbers. If Governor Cummins, of
Iowa, should succeed the late Sena-
tor Allison, Senator La Toilette will
have an ally who will increase his ef-
fectiveness in his fight for what the
Wisconsin senator holds to be needed
reforms in the conduct of business of
the United States senate. Already
there exists in this body the neucleus
of determined band Of insurgents
who have succeeded in worrying the
old time leaders. the efforts of Mr..
La Toilette having been frequently
aided by Senators Borah, Bourne,
Brown and Hepburn.
Recent changes in the personnel vof
the senate, those brought about by
the events of the past year and those
still to come when several legislatures
meet to elect United States senators
emphasize the disappearance of the
old regime. Call it what one will,
radicalism, progressfveness, reform or
| what not, change is confronting the
most deliberative body on EARTH"

HAPPY HOPEFULS TO

J. T. Alexander and J. w. Lockhart

amount of blowing and letting out
the impression that they are the only
eligible bachelors in Holmes county

caused stir among the rest of the

possesses an inexcusable number and
it is currently rumored that Sam d.
Bailey and Marcellus W. Smith have
entered into d compact to endeavor to
turn the tide of leap year missives
away from them casually intimating
that they are much better looking than
the aforesaid j. T. Alexander and J.

they assert, would stop clock. Per.

Why are they afraid of large crop?
They look at the past In 1908 we had
a short crop and good prices, which
was followed by large acreage and
good seasons and q bumper crop. The
next year, 1905.6 we had short
crop and good prices, which was again
followed by large acreage and a
bumper crop. Had 1t not been for the
September storm in the Mississippi
Valley and the exceptionally good
trade the market would probably have
gone to eight cents or under for that
crop. We got good average price for
the good grades in the crop, and q
large acreage was set aside for cotton
last season, but owing to the weather
during planting time the acreage was
cut some and crop poor in Texas and
Louisiana enabled us to get a good
price for the most of this crop A
month ago every indication was that
we would have large acreage this
season, and the people did not care to
place heavy orders for cotton goods.

and fair season we would produce
more cotton than the world needed and
the price of cotton goods would de-

son in cotton plant 25 per cent less
As soon as the acreage report is out
in June or even before the trade will
know that there will be moderate
crop raised this year and we will have
the old time activity in the cotton
trade. Jobbers will place their orders
ahead to enable them to supply their
trade and the mills will contract in
advance for supplies Of cotton and the
market will advance much faster than
it has declined. The result will be
that you will market crop Of II, $780,
