TOBACCO MARKET.

Louisville, April 3o-Total offerings last
week were 1874 hhds. OF this number
4SS hhds were hurley and S91 hhds dark.
The hurley offerings were small, quality
and condition were generally fair, as
more tobaccos were offered In good con-
dition than for several weeks. Color was
very scarce The market for all grades
was stronger. Medium red leaf showed
a slight advance in price. There were
5S6 hhds of dark offered at auction, most
ly air-cured leaf and lugs. The condition
was somewhat better as fair percent
age of the offerings was partially redried.
Extra long rehandlng leaf continues to
command the high prices established
some weeks ago Manufacturing grades
of leaf were irregular; common oA-col-
ored leaf was inclined to be lower. Trash
and lugs were unchanged from last week.
There was but little fired tobacco offered
at auction. Leaf of decided character and
in good condition was firm; out-of-colfd lfdi-
tion leaf and common off-colored leaf
were irregular. Fired lugs were q. fow
bids higher. The few hhds of old dark
offered were common leaf and lugs, with
no change to report in prices

Ithaca.-JOhn D. Rockefeller's phi
lanthropic scheme, which the Rookie
feller foundation bill, now pending in
congress, proposes to incorporate was
commended by President Jacob G.
Schurman in an address before the Cor

ming up an exhaustive discussion OF
the measure, President Schurman
said:
II recognize that section No. 2 of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro
mote and advance human civilization,
that Is to say, morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter.
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is vast field for the exercise of
philanthropy.

benefit of his fellow citizens and man.

the exercise of his colossal benefi-

influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benef-
cence, which Is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain higher
civilization.
"The only change would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or

About thirty years ago jefferson

they were beginning to think there
was hardly room for all, SO they
started in to raise thourough bred
stock and the result was that one
township alone sold in one year
$4,000 worth and the entire coun-
ty sold $500. 900 worth Of thorough
bred stock in one year, showing
what community can do if they
get headed the same way. There
is no reason that we could not do as
we'll here after we get started, and
if we never start we will never get
any where.

HAS MINNESOTA DEMOCRACY EX-
PERlENCED A NEW BIRTH?
James E. Chids, Veteran Reform Editor of the Waseca
Herald, So Ayers in Characteristic Editorial

of the democratic state central COM
mittee said:
II accept the result philosophic-
ally. I am used to defeats and VIC
tories in politics, and l have had
a goodly share of both. 1 have no
complaints to make, and certainly
no regrets. We espoused a right
Gus cause and a cause that is as
sure to win as night follows day.
If we could have referendum
vote on county option tomorrow, l
am certain it would carry by $4,000,
and there wouldn't be twenty-five
wet counties in the state.
"And right here let me say we
didn't lose by espousing the cause
of county option. Over 100000 of
Minnesota's best citizens cast their
ballots for James Gray, and had we
not upheld county option it is safe
to say that we wouldn't have polled
so, 900 votes. The brewery inter-
ests lined up with the republicans
long before the republican state
convention was held and they were
there to stay till the end.
"We lost the liquor vote, it is
true, on account of county option,
and Governor Eberhart received
enough votes on account of his ma
tionallty to make up for his large
majority.
"But remember the battle is not
over. 1t will 60 on, and l hope to
be in the thick of the fight. / be-
lieve that if a man dies he is born

looking over the Equity Farm Jour-
nal of various dates, we see that
much benefit is being received by
members Of the Society of Equity
by their state conventions, as they
gather together from different parts
of the country to represent their
different localities. They are the
choice of the local unions and there
fore they represent the best views
from all parts of the state, and each
one comes prepared to speak his
sentiments.
AS the milk men are represented,
so are the grain men and the potato
| men and all kinds of farming topics
are discussed, especially the market
ing end of the farm question.
The terminal elevator at Duluth
is one great feature of our grand
object and our cream exchange and
hay and feed exchanges are giving
a marketing place for all kinds of
produce direct to the farmer and
consumer from the far distant farm.
The pioneers of this grand move
ment may look with pride upon the
conditions that now prevail as re-
CARDS to the farm as compared with
what they were.
We know it used to be an honor
to own a farm and lots of young
men and ladies liked to work on a
farm, but what is the present con-
dition?
The creamery has taken the place
of the dash churn. The textile mill
the place of spinning wheel and the
hand loom. The combined harvest

style reaper. The society belle
took the place of the home maker.

"
The saloon-cursed papers of this
state, like the one at GAINESVILLE, are
rejoicing in the success of the sa-
loon-controlled party in Minneso-
ia. They tell their readers THAT
county option ought not to be made
party issue-that forcing it to the
front as an issue will result in its
defeat etc. etc.
Such talk shows muddled con-
dition of the "thinktank' of the
writer or speaker. 1t will be i'm
possible in Minnesota to carry a
county option measure except by
some party action. The saloon and
liquor combine now and for years
have had control of the republican
party. At the late republican state
convention the issue was distinctly
made and the saloon men prevailed
by large majority-so large in
deed that they anonymously al
lowed the nomination of one county
option candidate on their ticket
the lieutenant governor. But the
party by it's platform repudiated
county option. and also the initia-
tive and the referendum, and it
is notorious that the liquor COM
bine and the other interests had
and have entire control Of the party
machinery Of the state.
Does anyone except the simple
minded expect those interests to
give up the control of that party.
That supplemented, party wor-
Shipping, and Indifferent county-op-

party of the nation today.
On the other hand, the demo-
cratic party Of large majority of
the states Of the nation now stands
pledged to county option or state
prohibition.

the democratic ticket with him,

SOCIETY OF EQUITY MAN WRITES

til some of the farmers societies
were started.
The Farmers Alliance. The
Grange, Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association, ETC.. have all left their
marks upon the minds of the peo-
pie. They have all had the one aim
to educate the farmer. The Alli-
ance said we needed more money
and the way to get it was to save
on what we bought.
When the American Society of
Equity took the field, the farmers
of the west were fast arising and
saying it is not because we don't
know what we want but it is be-
cause we are not able to get what
we want and need because our pres
ent conditions won't justify our
buying what we really would like.
Our needs are in plain sight, we
need better prices for what we sell
and need to save on buying all that
we can. We must get more than
thirty-fve percent of what the con-
sumner pays for our produce. Give
us greater net income and no one
will need to fear but what we can
feed the balance of the world for
all time to come and we and our
families will live in such way as
to be the most desirable citizens
and social companions.
That was recognized as the key
to the situation, and since that
time thousands Of men have devoted
their time, energy and money to
working out the question Of
"kow."
The question of chow" is one of
Importance. We have got to take
a step in the right way and how are
we to begin? The best way we can
offer is by combined organization
and getting in touch with men of
experience. AS you know, one
state is ahead in one thing and
some in other things.
