Sears, Roebuck & Co., the
Chicago mail order house, have
received several hard bumps in
the last couple years. The house
has recently lost a suit in which
evidence was introduced to show
that the firm listed gasoline en-
gines in its catalogues at high
err horsepower than they possess
sed. Charles A. Stickney & Co.,
St Paul, the manufacturers, were
awarded damages of $40, 900.
The evidence showed that Sears,

power engine as a 3 horsepower;
one of Al horsepower as 5 horse
power; 5 horsepower as 6, and SO

FRIDAY, SEPT. "a. 1909.

The editor of the Mountaineer
errs when he states that his
views on the local option ques-
ton "queered" him with the
CHRONICLE. 1t is just the other
way. The CHRONICLE objected
to the Mountaineer's editorial re-
ferring to our statement as to-
our stand on the local option
question as "crawfshing." The
CHRONICLE has not side-stepped
an inch on this question and has
little use for anyone who will not
stand up for the belief that is in
him. The CHRONICLE is liberal
enough to respect the stand
taken by the Mountainteer and
other papers on the local option
question and expects equal con-
sideration in return. 1t is per-
haps an easy matter for many to
impute that the attitude of the
| CHRONICLE, as we'll as many
brave and true men who voted
against local option, is in support
of the liquor traffic. However,
this is not true. The stand taken
by many against local obtion was
for the reason that it was not
believed to be the remedy for the
disease as was claimed for it,
and further, that it worked an
injustice to the temperate user
in trying to prohibit the heavy
drinker, in which it has proven
unsuccessful.
AS to giving Bro, O'Donnel'
our views on the "other side" of
the question, we will be glad tC
do so in private whenever the
occasion permits. AS the ques
ton has been settled in Idaho
county for the next two years al
least there is nothing to be gain
ed in parading them in cold type
until the matter comes up for E
second consideration. In tn,
meantime we stand ready to bt
converted by the "other side" i
they can make their laws pro
hibit the liquor traffic in Idah'
county.

Breaking the Colt.

1t Is a mistake to allow inexperi-
enced men, young or old. to give a
well bred colt his first lessons in har-
ness. A good colt breaker is very
valuable to any stock farm or any
community where highly bred trotting
stock is bred and raised. There is
greater danger Of running colts that
develop speed rapidly when young
than those which mature slowly. Manv
a promising race winning prospect has
been ruined for life by injudicious
handling when young.
Feeding Farm Horses.
In feeding farm horses to secure the
highest efficiency let the aim be to Sc
lect roughage materials that are MI
tritious and wholesome and at the
same time free from mold and dust
with the proper supplement of corn
or oats or other home grown grain
materials. When this practice is fol-
lowed you will get efficiency and the
maximum of work at the least expend-
iture of effort and expense.
Breeding Good Horses.
Every community where horses are
bred should have a good thoroughbred
stallion. The French government has
been using them for years to Improve
Its horses. Crossed on good marcs
they make the best fire engine horses.
the best express and transfer horses,
the best all day road horses, the best
quick. active. big horse for any pur.
pose. one that can draw a big load
and can go on a trot on a hot day
without getting tired or painting.

In the death Tuesday of Gov
ernor Johnson, of Minnesota,
that state loses perhaps its
strongest and best beloved citi-
zen and our country loses a man
who might have graced the pres
idential chair in years to come.
Like Lincoln, Governor Johnson
rose from poverty and obscurity
through his own efforts alone
until he was known and revered
throughout the entire country by
all who appreciate a man for his
true ability and worth. Govern
or johnson was a native of
Minnesota and the first son of
state to be elected as its govern
or. He held the executive chair
for three terms, the last time be-
ing elected after declaring that
he would not be a candidate and
not even attending the conven-
ton. He was prominently men
toned as a probable candidate
for president on the democratic
ticket at the next election and
had he lived that long would no
doubt have received the nominal
ton from the hands of his party.

Obe 5effer.on,an

men that somewhere in the mysterious
East there grew plant which yielded
wool. Many writer's and travellers
reported that a marvellous shrub grew
on the inland plains of Asia, that
when it lowered tiny animal in all
ways resembling a lamb stepped
forth, and that the fleece Of this
creature was woven by the Hindus
into a fabric infinitely finer than
any garment made of wool. 1t was
prophesied and widely believed that
if this quadruped could be caught and
bred it's fleece would supply the most
delicate garments for mankind; and
in proof Of this belief were ex-
hibited the occasional rare fabrics
that found their way westward from
Calicut.
Cotton came with the insignia of
new civilization, and all the con
sentative force of England tried to
trample it to the ground. 1t was not
until nearly the middle of the
eighteenth century that the manu-
facture of calico was made lawful.
And only the wool could be cotton
then. The British law insisted that
linen must constitute the warp.
What might have been the history
of the world had England taken
immediate advantage of the power
possessed by cotton affords daring
opportunity for conjecture.
We may smile at the fact that
India, which taught Europe the first
secrets of the cotton-trade, has been
buying its cotton garments from
British miles. The imperial ruler
whom Vasco da CANA visited in his
court little dreamed that Calicut
would some day be importing calico.
Yet the Hindu operative fixing his
loom primitively under tamarine and
mango trees, and finding himself
incapable of competing with the
cargoes Of factory-made goods laid
down on the shores OF India by
British ships, is less Of an impotent
spectacle than the Southern cotton
grower, backed by the genius, tradi-'
tions, and promise of America, pro-
ducing raw material for the world at
starvation prices, and quietly yet
steadily yielding vassalage from
an American grantor to an English
suzerain. Does the future hold pos
sibilities that our great American
country shall be dominated by alien
holders of our cotton-lands? Now
is the time for American statesmen,
American genius, to awaken. The
dawn Of the cotton century is here

THE DAWN OF THE COTTON
CENTURY.
Continued from Page Five

uuI1llS Tile eHllfe Twelve months, ana
that was a little vessel whose cargo
weighed seven tons. Such is the
fasco of our foreign trade.
From New Orleans sixty Ameri-
can steamships carried the paltry
total of 10000 tons; while more than
a thousand foreign steamships bore
away 1,981,000 tons. From Pen
sacola 146 foreign vessels cleared, and
not one American Must America,
possessing monopoly of the raw
material without which Europe could
not retain its place as an industrial
continent, be besieged by foreign
craft forever?
The nations Of the world must come
to us for cotton as surely as Israel
in the days of ancient famine went to
Egypt for corn.
The South is also becoming a
manufacturing country, but from all
Of the Gulf ports last year only 1876
American steamships cleared, carry
ing but 100000 tons, and this went
principally to nearby Caribbean and
Mexican ports. The great export
trade of the South-its shipments of
umanufactured cotton-went in
$3.50 foreign steamships bearing
1861 900 tons.
We have a preferential tariff in our
favor, but not even this advantage
Of fifteen per cent. under the customs
charges Whic our rivals must pay
gives us the trade. Altogether our
competitors sold to our Asiatic islands
nearly twice the value of cotton goods
that the United States exported to
the United Kingdom and continental
Europe combined.
British commerce leads the world
today, but that supremacy, founded,
as it is, on the sale Of cotton goods
throughout the world, is not perma-
nent.
Lord Rosebery In a recent speech
said that if the mother country had
retained the American colonies, the
British capital long before this
would have moved across the At
lantic. 1t is true, as all men know,
that England s dominion over palm
and pine" is due to the fact that its
ships carry to the consuming nations
cotton goods spun of Americas raw
material.
During the Civil War, when Eng
land was unable to get it's regular
supply Of cotton from America, the
mills Of the United Kingdom we're
compelled to close, and more than
two million people in that country
dependent upon those factories were
reduced to starvation. Parliament
was convened in special session, and
large sums were appropriated and
turned over to societies created by
the nation to look after the needs Of
the multitudes of British workingmen
made destitute through inability of
the manufacturers to import cotton
from America.
Ours is the factory age, the era in
which have been produced goods that
