ONE more step to control the
earth and the fullness thereof by
organized capital is being taken
by company. of which Brother
Charley Taft is a member. The
company owns two ranches in
Texas, one If 10000 acres, the
other 224 600 acres. No raw ma
terial will be sold. Cattle will be
raised. fattened, slaughtered. by
products such as canned meats
oleomargarinc etc. will be made,
in short the products OF the
ranches will 60 through the
stages of manufacture before they
are offered for the market. II
this experiment is successful
capital will begin buying farms
and in a few years small holders
will be crowded out and farming
will be trust the same as all the
rest and farmers will become
hired men.

cial SYSTEM" "some sort Of ar
raneement for q central bank Of
issue which shall control the re-
serve and exercise a power to
meet and control casual strin-
gency." Taft has made the dis
eovery Of this gnawing need. and
is advertising it throughout the
west. Aldrich is to father the
scheme and tell the west all about
it.
Taft says it's bound to come.
and that Aldrieh has done so
we'll in revising necessities up
ward and luxuries downward that
he is peculiarly fitted to head the
new movement for saneness and
soundness. Mr.. Aldrich has al
ready blushingly accepted. but he
sees some dangers. The central
bank should be kept free from
Wall Street influences and not be
manipulated for political pur-
poses. He threatens to talk
along this line. and Wall Street
and the politicians are already
scared to death-almost. not
quite.
In case OF a casual stringency
nowadays the process of relief is
to have the United States treas
ury grab bag of money and run
over to Wall Street and help out.
1t will doubtless be much more
convenient to have a central bank
located right in Wall Street. with
power to control the money
market. OF course. much de-
pends on who is given the power.
If the president appoints another
galaxy of corporation hirelings,
of course. a politician or two, or
some fellow with friendly inter-
est in Wall Street may slip in.

Governor Shafroth is intended to
accomplish that purpose.
To realize the scope of this
movement it should be under
stood that every town in the
state of l, 900 inhabitants or more
is entitled to send three delegates
to the convention. appointment
to be made by the mayor; each
commercial organization in these
towns is entitled to send the same
number of representatives. and
each board of county commits
sioners has authority to send one
representative. 1t can be seen
readily that by this method every
section of the state will be rep
resented. The secretary OF the
Denver Chamber of Commerce.
w. F. r. Mills, has been desig-
mated by the governor to receive
all communications from towns
commercial organizations and
county commissioners relative, to
the plans for the conventions.
In addition. the chief executive
of the state has named a COM
mittee on program and = general
executive committee. The head.
quarters of these committees are
at the Denver Chamber of Com
merce.
Although Denver is to be the
scene of the convention. the oc-
casion is one that is of vital i'm
portance to the entire state. The
present tourist rate to Colorado
from the points mentioned is $50.
A reduction OF S. means a great
deal, because it is we'll known in
railway circles that reduction of
any rate stimulates travel. Rates
from the far east to Chicago and
similar points are low. and if a
lower rate from the Mississippi
valley to Denver is made, many
more people from the far East
will visit Colorado.
Ii is estimated that not less
than ten per cent. OF the strangers
who come to Colorado during the
tourist season come here with the
intention oflocating permanently.
In addition to these people. there
is large percentage of the sight
seers who. after coming to the
state merely as visitors. realize
the VIC cnderful possibilities OF the
state and the many opportunities
present for their future welfare.
and they return to their homes.
where they settle up their affairs
and hasten to make Colorado
their abode for life. This state
has many substantial citizens who
came here first merely to "see the
C. untry," and. OF course. it fol-
lows that if the tourist travel to
Colorado is increased to a large
exteYt by a lower railroad rate.
the percentage of new citizens
will increase. in a corresponding
ratio.
Colorado is pretty well adver-
tised in the east and south. but
there are thousands of people
who look upon this state purely
as a mining state. and they do
not have any conception of The
wonderful agricultural and horti-
cultural resources here. When
they finally come to Colorado for
vi it they are astounded. and
when they return home and tell
of the marvellous things they have
seen, their friends and relatives
believe they are exaggerated.

Blalnes the Women.

Women always were, are now, and
probably will remain, extravagant,
socially ambitious, unscroupulous
and generally responsible for a large
part Of the evils Of life, according
to Professor Herbert L. Willett, of
the University of Chicago Divinity
School, who lectured on 1.-THE Social
Teachings of the Prophets" recently.
The professor alleges that women
were as wicked in the time of
Amos and Hosea as they are today. "
Prof. Willett told the summer stu
dents that of all women's faults, her
social climbing was the worst. He
blamed the society germ for the op-
preston of the poor and recklessness
of the rich, and drew analogies be-
tween the state of affairs in ancient
Judea and contemporary life.
"The moral levels of a nation can
never rise higher than its woman
hood" said Professor Willett. MANY
of the evils of society have been and
are due to the social aspirations and
extravagancies Of women. In the
times of Amos, the women were will
ing to take money obtained by brib-
cry. Bribery was one of the COM
monest evils of the day. The bribes
were used for luxuries for the wo-
men. The women insisted on having
the luXuries.
'In more than one way, he evils
of the days of the prophets were
like those of today. Amos hated in
iuuity. He was against adultera-
tions in food, cheating in weights
and measures, unfair business COM
binations and graft and extortion of
all kinds. To read Amos is like
reading a document printed yester-
day. Every evil of today had par
allel then" Of course all women are
not included in the Professors in
dictment. He had reference to wo-
men who live for self entirely, as
many of the socalled society women
do.

Negroes Using Cocaine.

The Charlotte Observer says with
in recent years the cocaine habit
has grown to be great evil in Char
lotte and many other Southern cities.
The negro taking cocaine becomee
temporarily crazed and there is no
crime which he will nit commit or
attempt when under its influence.
Policemen dread him as they dread
nothing else, for he has both man
iacs strength and maniac's fury.
In Charlotte are joints where cocaine
fend hold periodical orgies; these
places, filled with crazy demons, bear
little resemblance to the dreamy at
mosphere of Chinese opium joints.
Opium or it's derivitives-morphine,
heroin, etc.-would from the stand
point of society be far preferable.
"To procure cocaine the habitue
will undertake any crime; and since
he is or soon becomes, worthless as
a worker, crimes and shifty exped-
tents constitute almost his only re-
cource. The police know we'll that
the frequent purse snatchings on the
streets are attributable to cocaine
ferds. They know, too, that crimes
of violence in the community rise
mainly from this same cause. Thus
the coaine negro commits crime to
supply himself with his drug and is
most dangerous criminal when he
gets supplied. Continued spread of
the habit threatens the negro popula
ton, and the white South in its re-
lation to the negro population, with
a menace Enthusiastically grave.
This cocaine habit among the ne
groes is getting very common in this
State, and the law in reference to the
sale OF this and other drugs should
be strictly enforced. There is no
doubt but that a good deal of the
cheap whiskey being sold in various
sections to negroes, and possibly tc
some others, by blind tigers, is dosed
with cocaine to give the desired ef-
feet after it has been freely diluted
with water in order to increase the
quantity and make the profit more.
1t will be remembered that a young
white man at Anderson, convicted u!
murder, attempted to excuse his
| crime on the plea that thc blind tis-
er whiskey on which he was intoxi-
Gated at the time was dosed with CO.
caine. Which statement was verified
by analysis. Considerable cocaine
was found in Greenville blind Tiger
raided by the police not long ago
We have a strenuous law in this
State regulating the handling of CO
caine, but it is none too strenuous
and ought to be strictly enforced.

OTTARAY AND ITS QUEEN.
A Tribute From the Pen Of Col. ia
II. Bacon.

While the State Press Association
sojourned in Greenville its members
were domiciled at the Ottaray- Hotel,
one of the handsomest and best kept
hotels we ever stopped at. The pro-
prietor and manager of the Ottaray
is Miss M. Quinn, handsome young
lady of about rs years Of age. Among
the press gang who enjoyed the hos
pitality of the Ottaray and its charm
ing owner was Col. James T. Bacon,
the genial and talented editor Of
the Edgefield Chronicle. The Colonel
is an old bachelor, put, although he
has passed his three score years, his
heart has the freshness of spring
and the motion of youth. Witness
the following outburst of youthful
admiration, appreciation and respon-
siveness to the. attractions of women.
Since Miss Gwilt, of "Armadale,"
or Di Vernon, or Becky Sharp, or
Lady Sweetapple-or Judith and
Delilah in the Old Testament-we
have met with no such distinctive
woman as Miss Quinn Of The Ottar-
ay. We touched land upon a high
point in Greenville. and searched for
Miss Quinn to beg her to give US
| two Stats to rest our ancient and
weary bones upon. We expected to
| meet grim, vinegar-faced, mercl-
less vestal virgin of sixty years. Miss
Quinn came-a queenly, lovely, vel
vety young woman, with eyes Of
dangerous depth and softness, and
voice like the coming of doves in
immemorial elms." Her figure and
walk were those of Judith. Her
mercy was as boundles as the deep
sea. At the age of hundred and
fifty, We fell before Miss Quinn OF
The Ottaray like Samson before Del
ilah, like Osias Wintergreen before
Miss Gwilt, like Posh Sedley before
Becky Sharp. We forgot our pains
and our bones. and begged for only
one slat. Miss Quinn's mercy
extended over seven Stats and the
snowiest counterpane that ever COW
cred any wicked, wretched old
wretch. Miss Q"inn is supremely
beautiful. She is supremely tender
and merciful. She is a deep ano
soulful mystery. She is reincarna
tion of Recamier or the Princess
Lambelle. The Ottaray, her home, is
a cave of Circe-a mermaid's rock II

The Texas Fever Tick.

The farmers of the South should
be acuuinted with the life-history
of the Texas fever tick. Its scienti-
fic name is Boophilus annulatus. The
female Texas fever ticks fall from
their hosts when ready to deposit
eggs, which are laid in mass OF
several hundreds, and hatch after a
period of incubation, which varies
somewhat according to temperature.
This small seed tick, or larvae,
which possess only three pair of legs,
are able to live without food for a
length of time, but finally die unless
they find a host. If suitable host
animal is found, they attach them
selves by means of their proboscis,
grow for about week, and then cast
their skins, emerging with eight legs.
The second nymphal stage lasts
about another week, during which
considerable growth occurs, and then
the molting process is repeated, CIV
ing rise to the mature male or te-
male tick, also with eight legs.
At this time the female is little
larger than the male, but she soon
begins to swell out, and finally,
about three weeks later, is fully en-
gorged and ready no fall to the
ground and lay her eggs. Normally
Texas fever ticks remain upon the
same host until they have grown to
complete maturity, but recent e&-
periments have proved that Texas
fever ticks taken from an animal at
the time of either molt will continue
to develop if placed on other cattle.
1t has also been found that Texas
fever ticks will sometimes develop
to the adult stage upon cats and
dogs, but as a rule this species is
restricted to cattle and other large
animals, such as deer, horses, mules
and donkeys."
