the land OF cotton than ever IL thu
worlds supply lie to keep anywhere
near it's demand. as statistics show,
but. while It is essential that more
land be devoted to cotton and more
science be put into its production, so
as to increase the acreage yield, It is
also important to know that Dixie is
destined to become one OF the great
corn-producing sections IL its natural
resources are properly developed.
Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas-the
states from which we are told the peo-
pie are going to Georgia, Alabama and
Florida-are not suffering. Nebraska,
at least, is continually drawing in
more people than it is sending out and
its available farming land is steadily
rising in price and being bought and
developed. 1t will continue to offer
superior advantages in the way of soil
climate and market to anybody look

A Copper Trust.

From the excellent way in which
the country and it's copper had been
getting along, the uninitiated might
imagine that a copper trust, such as
Mr.. Morgan is said to be forming, was
not one of the crying needs of the day.
That, however, is not going to infiu-
ence the actions of those engaged in
this gigantic financial operation. The
purchase of the Utah interests by the
Amalgamated Copper company is re-
ported to be under way, If not con-
summated.
The country has had enough expert
ence with monopolies to know how to
handle them better than 1t did few
years or decades ago, and 1t ought not
be possible for the copper interests to
gain such an ascendency in the mar
kets of the world as the steel and
Standard Oil monopolies have for
years maintained. From such expert.
ence as the government has had, II
should derive the skill In power and
knowledge that would enable 1t to
limit the encroachments of these insti-
tutions.
One of the Utah Independent mag
mates, commenting on the supposed
merger, is quoted as saying that 1t will
be a good thing for the small producer
and for the industry as a whole. OF
the latter there can be no doubt. We
are not in the least inclined to ques-
ton the assertion that for the copper
industry as a whole such a monopoly
would be a good thing, and it MAJ
OFFER some advantages for the smaller
Try TO sell out. But now will it affec
the general market, the consumers
While, perhaps, this Utah producer, NJ
more than his friend, Mr.. Morgan, ha
allowed that aspect of the question t,
bother him greatly, 1t still has
cogency which the public will fint

InEtrnntinns.

Delegates to conventions are eX-
pected to carry out the Instructions
given them by the convention or as
semblage by which they are appointed.
Instructions constitute the condition
upon which the commission to rep
resent a constituency is given. and no
one who does not want to recognize
such conditions should accept the COM
mission. The only possible excuse for
avoiding or evading instructions would
be a charge that the instructions were
procured by fraud or other illegitimate
means.
II develops that for the forthcom-
ing democratic and republican state
conventions the majority Of delegates
in each are under instructions one way
or the other as 20 county option. In
the democratic convention apparently
a clear majority of the delegates are
instructed against inserting a county
option plank In the platform, and only
a small minority instructed for II. In
the republican convention those I'm
structed for county option constitute
q minority and those instructed
against county option also constitute
a minority, so that neither would be a
majority without additions from the
large body OF uninstructed delegates,
There is this difference, however
between the uninstructed delegates to
the democratic convention and the un.
instructed delegates to the republican
convention. On the democratic side
the effort was TO instruct against 9
county option plank and no instruc.
lions would indicate an indisposltior
to, go to that length. On the repub'
lican side the effort everywhere was &c
secure instructions for county option
and failure to instruct would indicate
sentiment at least against making
county option political issue, whether
favorable or unfavorable to plan.
The procurement against count!
option by the democratic state conven
ton is practically foreordained. Thu
action of the republican convention
will be determined by the uninstructec
delegates.

Where Else But Kansas 2

Some absurd antics have been COM
mitted in Kansas, but It has remained
for the town Of Hutchinson to cap the
climax OF nonsense by adopting an or
dinance, not only prohibiting the ex-
hibition Of the moving pictures Of the
Reno fight, but barring any newspaper
or magazine publishing anything about
prize fights.
The Outlook, of which Colonel
Roosevelt is associate editor, recently
contained an editorial written and
signed by Mr.. Roosevelt, condemn
ing prize fights and prize fight NOV
ing pictures, saying they should be
prohibited in evo.y state in the union.
OF course, under this ordinance Hutch
inson had to bar this paper advocat-
ing the very thing the town was get
ting after.
This is a simple illustration of the
lengths OF folly to which people can
60 when they give unrestrained license
to their emotion and set reason and
common sense aside. 1t was in Kan
sas that a sensational minister once
undertook to conduct a daily news
paper as Christ would-to give the
people an ideal newspaper. He took
possession of Topeka paper for one
week, and 1t took many weeks and
months for that paper to recover from
the effects of the experiment of being
an ideal newspaper. Whatever else II
was during that week, 1t certainly was
not a newspaper. But Kansas knows;
1t knows how and where to lay the
ideal for everything and everybody.
The prize fight at Reno, deplorable
as it was, was nevertheless the big
gest piece of news of the day, and
the vast majority of the people were
thinking and talking about it more
than anything else at the time. News
papers had no option about printing
the matter; If they fulfilled their mis-
sions as newspapers and gave thell
readers an account of current history
they were simply compelled, whethei
they liked it or not, to give them al
the news they could of this fight. ant
the interesting point is that man.
newspapers that printed most abou
the agar were loudest in their con
domination OF it, and they were per
fectly sincere and consistent in it, toe
1t is interesting to recall that
was in Hutchinson where a band o
, Holiness folk prayed for the triumph
; of the black man and also that Hutch
inson is in Reno county. KanstsJ. Per
haps we may now look for a lay

Mirration Adjusts Itself,

The west has no cause for regret
or alarm at the government reports
that show people are migrating from
Its states to the south and investing in
land, as we'll as coming from Canada
to buy farms in Dixie, for this matter
of migration is something that adjusts
itself. No matter what the movement
or trend is or has been, the west con-
tinues to grow in population. wealth
and resources and, while it steadily
pursues its mission of empire building,
1t is entirely willing that the south
should wake up and share the general
burden.
For this is a national burden-not
sectional, not state. An even distribu-
ton OF wealth is the best leveling prog
ess for any country, and It is lmpos-
sible where one section is retarded in
its growth because OF dormant effort
or resources. The United States needs
the elements which the south pos
sesses, and therefore II is necessary tc
get more people with money and en-
terprise into the south. Land there
can be bought and cultivated cheaply
and much OF 1t is maiden soil, or com
paratiYely so, so that It has all of its
productive strength and period before

And now our democratic contem-
porary,. the World-Herald, throws fits
over the ballot form sent out by Sec
rotary of State Junkin, and insists that
Rosewater is to blame for II. When
Mr.. Junkin turned down the protest
against the misbranding OF Mr..
Bryan's presidential electors the
World-Herald hailed him as a great
man whom not even Rosewater could
influence. When an injunction was
sought to prevent Mr.. Junkin from
certifying candidates who had not paid
their filing fees Mr.. Junkin was again
a great man because he would not let
Rosewater use him. The fact is Vne
restraining order does not prevent the
secretary OF state from certifying She
names of any candidates whose films
fees have been paid, and there is moth
ing to prevent him from certifying
the democratic ballot in the same way
that he has certified the republican
ballot. We freely admit that the no
ton that prompts the secretary OF
state to withhold the names properly
filed as democrats because they were
illegally filed as populists has about
as much common sense behind It al
the ruling that man may have hi
name printed on four tickets on pay
