INDIAN COTTON
 IS A FAILURE
Tests in Garden Were Good, But Field Growth Was Unsatisfact0ry.

Washington, D. G., Aug. 1O.-Diffi- culty is being experienced by cotton growers in India with both the staple and the yield. Many experiments have been made with the object of i'm proving both, reports Consul Denni- son of Bombay, but thus far with in- different success.
 Egyptian and other exotic varieties have been introduced from time to time, but the results have not been encouraging. Under garden culture the finer staples responded we'll, but when tried in the fields they have failed to produce results they show in their native soils.
 Future efforts will be devoted to the improvement of the staple and yield of native cotton. Tree cotton. from which great results were pre- dicted few years ago, proved a dis appointment

WHAT WILL BRYAN AND PORTER
DO?

There has been speculation as to
Just why the democrats of Montgom-
cry county cancelled the speaking
date that had been arranged for Will
liam Jennings Bryan at Red Oak. On
the face of things, however, the reason
appears plain. The democrats OF
Montgomery county are more consis-
tent than the democratic state central
committee, which. arranged for the
Bryan speaking tour in Iowa, and more
consistent that Mr. Bryan himself.
Bryan bolted the Nebraska state demo-
cratic ticket because he could not sub
scribe to the liquor plank of the Ne
braska platform. He comes into Iowa
however, to support, what he con-
demned in Nebraska
The attitude Mr.. Bryan will take in
Iowa on the liquor question is causing
some comment. The silence Of Mr..
Porter, the democratic candidate for
governor, also is causing comment
It has just leaked out, however. that
Mr. Porter has not always maintained
his present silence. The Des Moines
Register and Leader has secured q
copy OF a letter written by Mr.. Porter
for the especial benefit of the German
American Liberal alliance, Col. Eio-
beck's organization. This was written
during the primary contest for the
democratic nomination and was pub
lished. SO far as the Register and
Leader has been able to learn, only
in German in the Stats Anzeiger Of
Des Moines and Der Democrat Of
Davenport.
The occasion for this letter, the
Register and Leader explains, was the
activity among the friends of Colonel
Eiboeck Mr. Bashor had been COM
mended u ,ii=,,y for his sympathies

WILL Mr.. PORTER PLEASE
EXPLAIN?

AS Mr.. Porter, man with sup.
posedly temperate inclinations, is the
democratic candidate for governor, en-
platform that declares for a condi.
ton of affairs that, If put into effect,
will keep up continuous neighborhood
agitation over the liquor question, 1t is
time he is making his views plain.
He has been making speeches in
many parts Of Iowa, and he talks all
the time about national matters. Now
Mr.. Porter, the state of Iowa is a great
and magnificent state and it certainly
is worthy of little attention from
you as candidate for governor. It is
expected Of you that you will outline
your plans for putting into force, if
you are elected, the commands of the
platform of your party. We know as
we'll as you do that the liquor plank
in the democratic state platform that
was adopted by the-democratic state
convention in Ottumwa has created a
great deal Of dissatisfaction and dis.
appointment and Is the source Of much
encouragement in the party. We do
not wonder that you try to cover this
sore spot by talking Of national mat.
tiers. But it Is time now for you to
stop wandering around and make your
self plain on matters that YOU are
pledged to in your platform.
General Weaver was a delegate In
the Ottumwa convention and made a
speech against the adoption OF the
liquor plank. He said:
81 am tired of being called a mem.
Der, of the whisky party. If the
language of that paragraph is put into
this platform, it puts whisky brand
on the democratic party of Iowa For
this convention to adopt that plank
will be to make the most serious mis-
take within the power Of this body,
and seventy-five thousand democrats
in Iowa will stamp it under their
sovereign feet"

But General Weavers motion
against that plank was voted down,
and the liquor plank he objected to is
now, part CT the Iowa democratic
platform and Mrs Porter, If elected, is
pledged by his party to carry out the
commands Of that plank.
Now Mr.. Potter, are you in favor OF
such a law as your platform calls fer?
And can Mr.. Bryan, If he makes any
speeches in this state, support in Iowa
what he condemns in Nebraska.

1t was finally decided to place the

close three hundred and sixty feet

THE STATE FARMS
ARE PLANTING NOW.
The Cotton Acreage HAS Been Reduced
by 800 Acres.

Jackson, Miss, March 1.-Col. Leroy
Taylor, chairman of the penitentiary
board of trustees, is in the city attend
ing the monthly meeting of the board,
having as usual made the rounds of all
the farms, from SunAower and Belmont
to Oakley and Rankin. Col. Taylor re-
ports that planting preparations are
we'll advanced at all the farms, and ev-
en- with the adverse working weather,
the condition of the ground is ahead Of
last year at this time by considerable
and there is nothing that can prevent
so far as the human understanding can
~foresee, the turning out of a magnif
cent crop Of corn, giving all that the
State will need, and probably an ex-
cess to dispose of as a marketable COM
modify.
Asked as to the condition of the
wheat planted this winter, Chairman
Taylor states that on each camp on the
sunflower plantation there is an area of
five to ten acres in this cereal, and all
of it is looking we'll. When matured,
they hope to make arrangements for
crushing out the threshed grain, and
the outlook is promising for a good re-
turn in native grown flour. They are
anxious to demonstrate as successfully
as possible the practicability of grow
ing wheat for profit in the State, as it
has been done in years past, and with
proper cultivation and reaping, they
anticipate ucces
The principle of diversified farming
and stock raising is being conducted at
all the plantations, and especially is
this 30 at Oakley, where the cotton
acreage has been reduced by half of the
acreage planted last year, or 200 acres
while corn, sugar cane, sorghum, po-
tatoes and other crops will be worked
on the most approved lines.
The trustees are now very much in
terested in their mule raising exper.
iments, with q herd of about forty
brood mares, which were purchased
last year, distributed, half at Raasir
and half at Oakley, and most of these
are reported to be in foal, and a goot
drove Of young mules is expected
during the next few months. OF course
it will be some time before the trus
tees can expect to be independent o
the mule markets of the West, but CO.
Taylor feels that the time is coming
and that the management of the stat
] farms san present an object lessor

Abel Withdraws from GohI's Case

ABERDEEN-A. M. Abel has with.
drawn from the defense of William
Ghol, who is to be tried at Monte
sano, May 2, for the murder Of
Charles Hadberg and John Hoffman
because of failure to get more money.
1t is said that the demand was made
for a fee of $4,000. It is understood
that $4,000 was furnished and that the
statement was made that no more
would be forthcoming. Gohl was
brought into court and in response
to questions of Judge Mason, Irwin
said the withdrawal Of Abel was en-
tirely satisfactory to him and asked
the court to appoint as counsel A. F.
Cross, of Aberdeen, and ]. A. Hutche-
son, of Montesano, WAS named. 1t
Is stated that an effort will now be
made to induce Will H. Morris, of
Seattle, noted criminal lawyer to
assist in the defense. 1t is likely
now that the trial will be delayed.

ture on citizenship in Republic" IN
the Sorbonne this afternoon. His au-
dience was composed Of all the mem
bers of the French Cabinet, students
selected from the University Of Paris,
and many distinguished guests. In
the course of his address he made
reference to the subject of human
rights and property rights in the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
my position as regards the
moneyed interests can be put in a
few words. In every civilized coun-
try society property rights must be
carefully safeguarded Ordinarily
and in the great majority of cases hui
man rights and property rights are
fundamentally and, in the long run,
identical; but when it clearly appears
that there is real conflict between
them, human rights must have the
upper hand; property belongs to man,
and not man to property"

OLYMPIA-The statement by Land

to the charges against his office by
the Legislative investigating commit
tee has not been completed and as q
result will not be given to the press
for publication. Mr.. Ross says that
he expects to complete the statement

out until it completely answers every

The printed report of the commit
