The local representatives OF
thelTobacco Trust are allied to
the peoples of the district by
ties of affinity and consanguinty.
They, with one exception, per-
haps, moved thereto by decent
regard for equity and justice,
will advise the trust to pay the
the price fixed by the commit
tee. For they know by expert
ence there is no disposition on
the part of the Association to
name an extortionate price.
The local representatives of
the Tobacco Trust know the
temper Of the people as well as
/ know it, and we know it far
better than do the head men of
the trust. If from no higher
motives than the dictates of
prudence the head men of the
trust may profit by the wise ad-
vice of their local representatives,.

Topeka, Kan. Oct. s. Race
suicide is 80 marked in Kansas
that schools in many county dis
tricts have been abandoned. In
other localities the number of
children is so limited that the
consolidation of schools has be-
come an important question.
This condition is most prevail
ent in principal agricultural
counties of the state, and nota-
bly, Jewell, the leading county of
the state in corn, alfalfa and
hogs. The annual decrease of
children in Kansas is not pecu-
liar to Jewell county it is no.
ticeable in all agricultural COM
munities of native Americans.
The up-to-date American far
mers of Kansas are living on
$l0O per acre farms, selling 81
wheat and riding in automobiles,
but they are not rearing chill
dren. And so the school popu-
lation is decreasing in many dis
tricts have been abandoned, and
in other communities they are
being consolidated.

This Is a stupendous record Of achieve
nsnt. AZ a people we are rather fond OF
criticising ourselves, and sometimes with
very great justice; but even the most
pessimistic critic should sometimes THINK
OF what is to our credit. Among our
assets Of the past ten years will be placed
the extraordinary ability. integrity, and
success with which we have handled all
the problems inherited as the result or
the Spanish war; the way we have han
died ourselves in the Philippines, in cuba,
in Porto Rico in San Domingo, and In
Panama. The cruise of the battle neet
around the world was a striking proof
that we had made GOOD with the navy;
and what we have done at Panama rep
resents the accomplishment of one OF the
great feats of the ages. 1t is a feat winch
reflects the highest honor upon our eoun-
try, and our gratitude Is due to every
man who has taken an honorable part in
any capacity in bringing about It's per-
Torrance.
We now have a further duty TO per-
form in connection with II, and that Is to
fortify II ourselves. and only by so doing
can we effectively guarantee its neutral
ity, and. moreover effectively guarantee
that II shall not be used against us. The
chief material misunderstanding one
OF the chief material advantages-which
we shall gain by it's construction is the
way in which 1t will. for defensive pur-
poses, double the power Of the United
States navy. To refuse to fortify 1t. and.
above all. to consider for a moment such
an act OF utter weakness and folly as to
invite other nations to step in and guar
antee the neutrality of this purely Ameri-
can work land thereby really to make Il
certain that in the event of war we
should nnd the canal used against us as
our fleets would be forbidden to pass
through IT, or else our opponents fleets
permitted to-, would be to incur. and
quite rightfully. the contempt Of the
world II would mean the complete aban-
donment Of the Monroe doctrine; 1t would
be q wicked blow to our prestige on the
Pacific; and. moreover. II would be in
Its essenoe treason TO the destiny Of the

WEEKLY TOBACCO
TIDINGS
Editor Banks Makes a Good Man
in the Right Place--His Let
ters Benefit to Farmers.

III is a perpetual source Ol
wonder to this writer that far
mers in this, the Stemming Dis
trict, are so temperate, are so
moderate in putting a price on
the product of their labor. And
this is markedly noteworthy re-
specting tobacco growers. For
thirty-fve years prior to the for
nation of this Association, call
it six years since the advance in
price of tobacco goes back to
the first pool; for thirty-five
years prior thereto, | say, the
average price of tobacco was I
have the words of old buyers to
bear me out in this statement
from four and three quart ers to
five cents. In those years the
land, even the richest of it, de
Perforated in productive potent
atty. And the rolling lands, or
thousands of acres, once so
rich as virgin soil, are now so
worn and washes as to be unfit
for tillage.
Five-cent tobacco did it.
The land kept getting poorer
and poorer.
Resident tobacco buyers lived
rich and piled up fortunes.
Foreign buyers of the Stem
ming type of tobacco lived like
princes and piled up millions on
top Of millions.
Meanwhile the farmer was sell
ing the life of his wife, that of his
children and the life of his land.
His wife got no wages for her
labor. His children got no wa
ges for their labor, and, in con-
sequences, the wife grew old at
thirty, and the children, those
who survived, were fore-ordain-
ed toa stunted manhood
tai, moral and physical.
And all that was before tn
days of the trust.
And then came the trust and
confscaced three crops. Far
mers are paying off debts today
that were contracted in the con-
fiscation.
In the meagerest manner | re-
cite the facts of local tobacco
history, familiar to all.
In the past four years the As
ISOLATION has constrained the
trust to pay an average of sew
en- and a quarter cents for four
crops Of tobacco. And that fig
ure has yielded only the meag-
crest wages to the women and
children, and to the TENANTS
white man or negro.
All of which reflections in con-
densed form were suggested by
the following extract from a
Corydon letter published in
Tuesdays Evening Journal:
Corydon, KY, Oct, A I'VE
have had the finest weather for
the curing of tobacco of late that
there has been for several years.
The crop is pretty well cured
and will soon be ready for mar
ket: and the farmers in this beat
are going to be sadly disappoint-
ed if the committee sells it for
less than eight cents from the
ground up.
From which it will be seen
that the Corydon letter writer
exhibits that meek and lowly
spirit commented on in the first
lines of this article.
don't know what price the
district committee will put on
the 1910 crop of tobacco. In
deed it will not be known for
some days whether or not there
will be any Association tobacco
for sale. 1t all depends on the
returns from Crlttenden and
Hopkins. If it turns out there
is rs per cent. of the crop
pledged to the Association, the
committee will name the price.
Otherwise the trust will name
