rhythmic swing of the reaper with his
scythe, the good cheer of boiling
and hog killing time, are incidents
which have passed largely into history
Advanced methods of cultivation ac'
cording to the intensive system have
changed the face of things. The big
plantations have passed from the hands
of the old time owners and in most in
stances have been broken up into small
farms, if not into city lots.
But withal the heirs of the land were
the heirs of the legends, and they pre-
served the old customs as far as the
new order of things permitted. The in
vasion of the English syndicate, with
its holdings of thousands of acres, its
spirit of commercialism, under the
blight of which the last Vestige OF
Southern plantation life - will perish,
will usher in a new era indeed. There
is a touching pathos in the thought
that over SO much that was venerable
a fateful Ichabod should be written.

PASSING OF OLD PLANTATION
LIFE.

But little remains, at best, of the
typical plantation life of the old South,
and influences are now at work, which
threaten to make the transformation
complete. Announcement is made that
an English syndicate has purchased
several thousand acres of land in the
very heart of the Southern cotton belt,
with the intention of cultivating it by
means of improved machinery and dis
posing of the product direct to the
English mills, in which the landowners
are largely interested. Profits are to be
turned over and invested in more ex-
tensive purchases until, in course OF
time-if the apprehensions of certain
observers are fulfilled-the old planta-
tions, redolent of many cherished ira
ditions and. the scenes of song and
story, will be but part of the great
plant" of the English cotton mill in
dustry.
From an economic point of view, the
threatened invasion is one which may
we'll engage the serious attention of the
South, and organizations like the Farm
ers' Union are on the alert, and yet
those who love the memories of the
broad, baronial acres on which the
planter lived in feudal power and plenty
will look upon the sentimental bearing
of the new order as not the least i'm
portant. For many years it has been
only in isolated instances that one
could find a typical plantation, with an
uncle Remus" at the cabin door, the
weather beaten 'gin and screw" form

rustic mirth of an evening gathering in
"cotton-p picking time" and all the genre

SkOOT ESSAYS TO
RECONCILE TAFT TO
ROOT AMENDMENT
Senator Tries to Pacify Pres
ident, But Outcome Is
\ Doubtful.

An effort was made today by
friends of the President in the Sen
ate to reconcile him to the Root
amendment to the reciprocity bill.
There is no evidence, however. that
Mr.. Taft promised to withdraw his
opposition to this Measure.
The argument was made to the
President that the Root amendment
ment with Canada defective, in real
ity, made it effective. Therefore IT
was argued, the President could con-
sistently support il.
Senator SmOOt, who is a warm
friend of the President, and who is
a loyal supporter of the Root amend
ment. was the medium through which
the argument was presented to the
Executive. He called at the White
House twice today and as he left he
gave the reasons why this amend
ment should be approved.
Il cannot see for my life why there
should be any objection to the Root
amendment said the Senator. 1T
does not change the pact in any way,
shape or form, but on the contrary,
1t perfects 1t.
THE Ottawa government does not
object to the amendment and really
welcomes ii, that is the Canadian
bill, with the Root amendment at
tached to it. l am opposed to all
other amendments, and am con-
without any other notifications.
81 notice in the papers that Repre-
sentative Underwood will not accept
the Root amendment, but / do not
believe this. l can see no good rea-
son why the House would not accept
it. do not believe the House win
turn the pact down on account of
this amendment.

SENATORS EAGERLY
AWAIT La TOILETTE
REPORT ON PACT
Wisconsin Leaders Views
Expected to Reflect Stand
of Insurgents.
nntv Dy Harris & EWING.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is
preparing his minority report from the
Finance Committee on the reciprocity
bill 1t is expected this document will
be an interesting one. and that it will
be much sought after. 1t will embody
the first detailed announcement of the
views of the Senate progreSsives on the
bill; that Is, of that element of the
progressive who are seeking the amend
ment OF the bill, and are opposed to 1t
in its present shape.
1t is expected that Senator La Fol-
lette will seek to make it clear that he
IS for the principle of reciprocity. but
that he Is opposed to the pending meas
ure. and believes il Improperly drawn
and in need of modification and amend
ment.
The position of Senator La Toilette
will be of especial Importance at this
time. The report will be accepted rs
the Senate insurgents. Just now, there
is much talk of the blocking of the
movement to nominate Senator La Fol-
lette for President, and much talk that
the insurgents are split on this ques-
ton. Also, the insurgents are Being
criticised both for failure to enlist fo-
reciprocity and for their failure 10 play
good politics in respect to that subject.
Consequently, what Senator La Toilette
may say at this time will have especial
significance.
1t is not expected any of the other
Republicans on the Finance Committee
will present a minority report but Sena-
tor NcCumber. Senators Kern, VIII
liams, and Stone may unite in one.
1t is the intention to make reciprocity
the unfinished business after Tuesday,
and the Senate leaders will insist that
the discussion of it be kept at day after
day. and that there be no tagging. They
want to get the matter disposed of as
quickly as they can, and they know that
at best it will be month before vote
can be had

CHINA AND MEXICO AT THE
VERGE OF TROUBLE.

China and Mexico, in the effort to
fight each other across the Pacific,
would present a close resemblance to a
couple of district schools a mile apart
trying to lombard each other with
spitballs. Conducting a war at such
long range is largely question of what
the pugilistic sharps call reach"
Neither of these long-distance com
batants has the necessary reach or
punch to do very serious execution.
China has at least picked an antago-
mist in her own class. If the two coun-
tries could get into a ring together,
they might put up quite an interesting
scrap. But they can't very well fight
in an orbit.
China is incensed against Mexico be-
cause of the maltreatment of Chinese
citizens in Mexico, and has demanded
apology and indemnity. Mexico just at
the moment is in poor posture to take
on a foreign antagonist, and China
would seem to have selected the op-
perfume time to press her demands.
Moreover, Mexico has no naval strength
worthy of consideration--or China
much more, for the matter OF that. But
China decidedly outranks Mexico in this
regard, and it might be possible for the
two powers to present an interesting
imitation of a naval campaign.
The case seems to be one in which
from all points of view the attempt to
make real trouble could properly be
forbidden by the greater powers. 1t is
difficult to see how either country
could be better for a clash. The stra-
tegy of such a naval game of hide and
seek would hardly give even a useful
object le-on to other powers, con-
cerned about the study OF such great
operations as must be imposed on
whatever countries shall have a future
conflict for domination in the Pacific.
Presumably, the calmer counsels of
superior power-if not wisdom-will at
last prevail and the two countries will
avoid conflict. They ought to do so.

SUGAR AND THE MORMON
CHURCH IN PARTNERSHIP.

The House Committee on 1nvestiga-
ton Of the sugar industry is to look
into the relations between the Sugar
trust and the Mormon church. 1t will
be found a fruitful field of inquiry, one
in which vast deal may be developed
concerning the business and political
alliances of the Utah hierarchy
Mormon church financial interests
were early in the beet sugar field. The
industry was one of those recognized
as a concern of the church as such,
rather than of individuals who hap
pened to be prominent in the State.
Joseph F. Smith, head of the church,
was at one time president or director
in various beet sugar concerns, and in
these concerns the American Sugar Re-
fining Company, the trust, bought large
holdings of stocks. This was by no
means the only big business activity
of the church. At the same time Presi-
dent Smith was director in the Union
Pacific railroad and president of long
list of financial and industrial corpora
tions.
The frankness with which the Nor
mon church has pursued the policy of
direct domination of the business in
terests of Utah has been no less than
amazing; but hardly less remarkable
has been the fact that the country at
large has shown little concern, or even
interest, in the condition thus created.
The Mormon church is in big bust
ness and big politics all the time. If
the Hardwick committee will 60 deeply
into these relations, and present a con-
secutive history of their development,
it will do a piece of work that is great
ly needed. The inquiry, however, to be
of greatest value, must be broader
than a mere consideration of the
church's relations to the sugar industry
and to sugar politics. 1t should give
the country an accurate impression of
the whole workings of the church finan-
cial system; the method of raising
revenues from the membership, and of
administering through the officers of
the church; it needs to show how sedu-
lousy has been cultivated the policy of
keeping able business men in apostle
lates, with the view to making the
church as strong on the business as it
has been on the religious side; and the
political phase has grown along with
both the others, developed with the
same skill and persistence. These are
the aspects of Mormonism's relation to
the nation which, if fully understood,
would be of real Importance.

RIGHTS OF POLICEMEN TO BE
CONSERVED.

bearing on the, rights of policemen
charged with violation of the police
regulations and put on trial before the
Police Trial Board have been made in
the last few days. Their tendency will
be to make more secure the protection
extended in the law to officers who
may be accused of misconduct; they
will operate to make it reasonably GER
tain that, no matter with what offense
a policeman is charged, he will have a
fair trial and every advantage which
the American idea of justice demands
for the accused.
One of the rulings was made by JUS
tice Barnard, of the District Supreme
Court. 1t was in the case of Policeman
elliott, who was convicted by the Po-
lice Trial Board and ordered dismissed.
Gillotts lawyer appealed to the Com
missioners, as provided by law, and
asked for an oral hearing. The Com
missioners refused an oral hearing,
maintaining that it lay with them to
decide whether an oral or written hear
ing should be held. elliott applied for
writ of mandamus, to force the Com
missioners to make his hearing oral,
contending that it lay with the de-
PENDANT to decide whether the hearing
should be oral or written. Justice Bar
nard has just issued the writ, thereby
upholding elliott.
Unless the Commissioners appeal and
obtain reversal of Justice Barnard's
decision, this means that in future
hearings on appeals must be oral if the
accused policeman requests it.
The other ruling was made by the
Commissioners in the case of Policeman
Watts, who was convicted of insubordi-
nation and of appearing in improper
dress by the trial board, and ordered
dismissed. Watts was the man whose
case grew out of the fact that he re-
ported for duty with a button hanging
from his coat sleeve and with a slit in
his shoe at a point directly over bad
corn. His attorney appealed to the
Commissioners, and they have disap-
proved the charge of insubordination
and modified Watts sentence from dis
missal to a loss OF five days leave and
fine of $40. The charge that he ap-
peared in improper condition of dress
was approved.
The important feature of the Watts
ruling is the warning of the Commits
sioners to captains, lieutenants, and to
the trial board, expressed as follows:
The Board of Commissioners finds
that the evidence does not agree with
the statement, as drawn, Of the specifi-
cations in support OF the charge of al
legged insubordinate language of the ac-
cused addressed TO the captain of his
precinct, and therefore disapproves the
finding of the trial board upon the same
and upon the charge of insubordina ton
and takes this occasion to remind all
concerned Of the absolute necessity of
careful submission of charges and speci-
fications to police headquarters so as to
conform to the state of facts as ascer-
tained after thorough examination or
investigation.
No citizen of the District wants to
see a guilty policeman escape punish
ment through resort to technicalities
by his counsel, but every citizen wants
every officer to have a fair trial. The
two incidents here described should go
long way towards guaranteeing ex-
act justice to every accused man.
