WHAT DID He SAY?
Roosevelt's After Election Remarks
Are Not Known.

The New York Evening Hail or
the morning after the election re-
corded this incident:
A telephone rang in the Associat'
ed Press office last night about $50
o'clock. A woman's voice at tbs
other end of the wire said:
This is the Outlook Office. VIII
you please tell US how the election
Is going?"
"Foss has carried Massachusetts,
was the reply. Connecticut and
New Jersey also have gone Demo
cratic. Harmon has been elected II
Ohio and Dix has carried New York
by about 10000 plurality"
There was a moments pause, and
then, from the feminine voice:
my God, What will the Colone
say?"

TILLMAN PLEASED
SAYS THE PEOPLE OUGHT TO
HAVE DONE IT LAST TIME.
Thinks 1t Is More Than a Step at
Teddy, Whose Pernicious Activl-

al
ties Didn's Have the Right Effect.
The Chronicle says Senator Benja-
min Tillman, of South Carolina,
was in Augusta Friday on, business,
and while there he talked with .
representative Of The Chronicle On
the recent Democratic victory. The
senator, was particularly mild IN
speaking OF Theodore Roosevelt,
whom he has dubbed !''the greatest
fakir on earth" but the very quiet
ness of his voice lent additional
scorn and contempt FOR the ex-presl-
dent. .2l,.,.
Senator Tillman was asked for an
expression of the Democratic victory,
and What he Thought Of "the slap IL
the face to MIR. Roosevelt"
ut was more than a slap in the
face" said the senator. The re-
cent victory of the Democratic par.
ty is evidence Of returning sense on
the part of the people, in realiza-
ton of that change particularly
needed now, if we expect a good
government, and God knows it's bad
enough. The corruptions that are
entering into it now ought to make
good patriot tired.
"As to the causes Of the election.
The tariff had something to do with
it. The pernicious activities Of T. K.
didn't have the effect he desired, but
just the revrse. The tariff, Of course,
cut some figure, as shown by the
election of Foss in Massachusetts, and
the congressman In Buffalo, where
they turned Republican strongholds
upside down and walked off with
'em.
"But the new grace Of rommon
sense Is the essential factor In the
success, and the people ought to
have done this in the last election.
But, like all the rest of us, their
hind sight is better than their fore
sight"
Senator Tillman seemed delighted
at the outcome Of the election, and
frequently chuckled to himself,
probably at some memory stirred by
present events. The senator seems
much stronger after his recent Ill
ness.

They NEVER TALK
THE TRAPPIsT MONKS LIVE IN
ABSOLUTE SILENCE.
Devote Six Hours to Prayer and De-
votion, Ten Hours to Work and
Eat One Meal q Day.

/ L p "A. .t e 3.
The expulsion of the religious or.
ders from. Portugal and their immi-
nent expulsion from Spain will drive
many monks and nuns to this coun-
! try where they will seek refuge in
| the various 5monasteries and con-
vents in the United States. The ex-
pulsion of the religious orders from
France, years ago. led to the found
ing Of the first places of refuge in
this country and among these was
the Monastery of Gethsemane, the
Order Of the Silent Brotherhood, II
miles from Bradstown, KY. 1t was
established in 1S4S and is to this
day one Of the most visited religious
resorts on the continent. The only
other monastery of the kind in
America is at Oca, few miles from
Montreal, Canada.
The Trappist order was founded
in the Twelfth century and is to-day
the least known of the religious or.
ders Of America, possibly because
few people would care to enter the
ranks of the order and subscribe to
their rules. A Trappist never
speaks. He is under vow of absu-
lutte silence. He never reads any
thing but the books in the library at
the monastery. 1t is doubtful If any
one of the 80 odd men in the Ken
lucky monastery knows who is the
President of the United States or
the governor of Kentucky. Forgot
ten by the world. they theoselves
forget the world.
They eat no meat, fish or eggs at
any time and drink no wine. One
meal a day must satisfy their hun
ger and that consists of vegetable
soup, boiled bread and rice. They
pray six hours day, the first ses-
sion being at 2 a. m. They arise
. at a. M, summer and winter, and
work ten hours out Of every "a.
They retire at sundown and sleep on
a plank with a hard pillow. Such
are some Of the many rules Of the
order, all of which tend to place
the physical in the background 10
enable the monks to develop the
spiritual side of their being.
To enter the Trappist monastery is
to. take a step. backward 1000 years
for. the spade and the hoe and the
scythe and the cradle are still used
in tilling the soil which is rich and
productive. But the Trappists are
good farmers and the products from
their dairy are much sought Oh
Southern markets. Under vows Of
perpetual silence, extreme poverty,
charity, separation, patience and sub
mission some of the noblemen of Eu-
rope are living as monks with the
Trappists in Kentucky and it is safe
ly predicted that if events take more
unfavorab BILE turns against religious
orders in Europe hundreds Of devo |.
men and women will seek refuge
in America where there is real free
dom for all sorts and conditions Of
men to worship as they will.

SMITH ON COTTON
URGES THE FARMERS TO HOLD
THEIR NERVE STEADY.
He Advises them to Look to their
Own Interests and Let the Manu-
fncturer Look After His.

facturer Look After His.
Senator E. D.. Smith Friday gave
out the following statement with ref
erence to the cotton crop:
The usual efforts are being made
to depress the price of cotton. This
same old arguments, the same old
song.
It is a commentary either. on the
presumtion of those who would de-
press the market or on the Ignorance
| of those who have the cotton to sell.
/ am convinced that it is the former
for the farmers have at last arriy-
ed at that stage Of knowledge, In
reference to their business, where the
ridiculous and foolish arguments OF
the bears no longer affect them. In
word, those manufactures and buy
ers who hope by any specious. argu-
ments to so affect the market as to
get cheaper cotton had as we'll disa-
buse their minds of any such fond
hope.
The farmers Of the South who pre-
duce the cotton know as we'll or bet
ter the conditions than those social
ed manipulators Of the market. They
are thoroughly aware that the mar
NAL consumption of American cotton
by the world is approximately a.
O00,O bales. That last year they
only made. above 100000 bales,
leaving a deficit of 3 IL to 4,O00,-
900 bales; that stocks are exhausted;
that the manufacturing world begins
the 1909-1910 with no supplies TO
draw upon from the 1909-10 crop.
They know that this crop cannot
exceed .11,500,000 bales maximum
making a deficit in this crop from the
normal demand Of about 2,500,00O
bales, an aggregate shortage in the
years of approximately 100000
bales OF cotton. They know that mil
lions Of dollars are invested in the
mills which must spin and weave
cotton or lose their dividends
They know that the world has nc
substitute for cotton and that sooner
or later they must have it. They
know that the price obtained in the
last few years has placed them in a
position where to own the cotton
rather than the merchant who fur
nishes them the supplies to make it.
They knew the "tricks Of the trade
at last and have learned a few things
themselves.
This crop was unusually late; the
frost com mparatively unusually early;
the price unusually high dur.
short so that this present picking will
rapid ginning of the crop. The last
short SO that this present picking will
mean the end of the crop Of 1910
1911.
It matters not in any event, what
the ultimate yield of 1901 may
be, if the farmers of the South-in
their present prosperous condition
will but use discretion and common
sense in the disposition of this crop
they can absolutely dictate the price
to the consuming world.
In conclusion I wish to say to
all farmers: You have absolutely
nothing to do with the price of the
manufactured article. Let the man
ufacturer look after his business and
attend to his profits; you look after
your business and attend to your pro.
