The End OF Pooling.
Business In packa ge goods mostly in
brights has been quite active for the
past ten days or two weeks. Within
that time many good. large. round lots
have changed hands. and prices OBJ
tanned by the sellers have been very
satisfactory. The news that came last
week through The Times-Dispatch of
the downfall OF the Burley Pooling
Society in kentucky by the failure OF
the managers to get the Burley grow
yers into the pool. was discussed by
the tobacco men not a little. The con-
sensus Of opinion was that the failure
to pool the crop of this year would
prove a good thing all around. This
way Of selling tobacco through the
pool" the tobacco men say, is an
abnormal. not to say absurd, way OF
doing business OF any kind. and has
proven very unsatisfactory to both
growers and manufacturers Of tobacco.
There were some among the tobacco
men. however, who thought not lit-
tile confusion of one kind anu another

pool and that for a few months at
least maybe for a year the Burley
situation will remain in state Of
more or less confusion and uncer-
tainty. siti
But Virginia Is Serene. 81
In the meantime the growers OF Vir-
Sginia Burley, who have been In no
way tangled up with the Kentucky
troubles. have some mighty good Bur-
ley to put on the market within the
next few months. and they have every
reason to look for good prices for the
same.
Speaking about Virginia Burley re-
minds me that a tobacco man who
has been out 1 nthe rural districts taxi
Ing notes said to me the other day:
II see you have been contending that
only those Virginia farmers who hap
pen to own limestone lands can grow

take, Any good and really rich Yir-

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS TO
NAME FOLK FOR PRESIDENT
Platform Committee Splits on the
Liquor Question

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. 13.-
Both the Cepublican and Democratic
state conventions adjourned here to-
night without adopting their platforms.
Contrary to expectations, Joseph B..
Shannon of Kansas City, an adherent
of James A. Reed, also of Kansas
City, a candidate for the United States
senate against D. r. Francis of st,
Louis, was elected chairman of the
Democratic state committee.
Charles D. Morris of st. Joseph, IA
vored by Governor Hadley, was
chosen chairman of the Republican
state committee.
The Democratic platform, which Is
to be adopted tomorrow, will contain
an Endorsement of Joseph w. Folk
for president in 1912. The opposition
sought to make this a separate reso-
luton, but failed. The platform COM
mittee split on the liquor question.
This was left for tomorrow in the hope
an agreement may be effected with
the Republicans that both parties say
nothing in their platform on the sub
iect, as a prohibition amendment is
to be voted on at the November elec-
ton.

convenience, but without avail. The
chairman called the present meeting
The members whose names are hereto
attached have passed the day review
ing the case. but. being without a
quorum, were powerless to act and
have adjourned subject to the call of
the chairman.
1.-The report of the committee cannot
be made until December 5, when con-
gress meets, and the meeting called
for September was for the purpose OF
considering and discussing what the
report to be made three months there
after should be. There was, there
fore, no haste or pressure for time. The
action of the Democratic minority in
taking temporary advantage of the de-
Law of some members in reaching the
meeting was an effort to substitute a
prearranged program for the orderly
deliberations and discussions which the
dutv of the committee requires.
"rThe pretended adoption of report
by a political minority and its publ
cation as if it were the report of a
committee exhibited a willingness to
sacrifice the rights and injure the rep
utation of the officers investigated, in
order to obtain a supposed party ad-
vantage in the pending political cam
paign We cannot reconcile such a
course with our sense of justice and of
our duty.

are prevented from recovering from
the bank guaranty fund. which is thus
$24O,OOO bettered by the supreme court
decision.

fires which had wrought havoc in

the voters of the state. Republican
leaders are quoted today as expressing
the belief that this will defeat state

to meet the approval of President Taft
