John HAYS HAMMOND.

A few days ago John Hays Hammond,
the noted American mining engineer, left
st. Petersburg on his way home. He
spent two weeks in the Russian capital
conferring with the chief officials OF the
empire regarding the opening up of un-
developed regions and the establishment
of industrial enterprises, such as the
construction and management Of grain
elevators. Irrigation projects for the
trans Caspian steppes are among the
schemes regarding which Mr.. Hammond
was consulted. The Car gave him an
audience, and astonished the American
by his familiarity with technical de-
tails. It is said that Mr.. Hammond and
his financial associates in the United
States will take up immediately some Of
the proposals of the Russians.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERSS
OF MISSISSIPPI.

According to information fur
nished by the U. S. Department of
commerce and Labor, "a 1886, 800 GAL
Ions of cottonseed oil were pro-
duced in Mississippi in 1909. This
was worth approximately $9,754,520.
This. is, a considerable amount of
money and the market which de-
mands~ this product is an important
one to the people of the state.
This, fact has led men who wish
to see oleOmargarine take the place
Of butter to make it appear that the
manufacture of oleon1aTgarine fur
nishes one. of the greatest if not the
greatest reasons for this market de-
mand. But such: is not the case.
In fact the value Of the cottonseed
Oil used in, the manufacture Of this
product is so small in comparison
that it is not worthy of the least
consideration; especially when the
value Of the dairy products Of the
state are considered.
We do not have the statistics for
1909 but in 1903 the value of the
cottonseed oil used in the manufac-
ture of olemeomargarine in this
country was. $499,l5S52.. The value
of al 1.-The cotonseed oil produced IN
1909 was approximately S6S,331 400.
This means that less than one per
cent of the cottonseed oil sold was
used in making oleomargarine.
ccording to the Department re-
port, Mississippi produced about is
per cent of all the cottonseed oil
produced in 1909. Using this figure
for 1903 and we find that the value
of the cottonseed oil used In olemar-
garine returned to the cotton far
mers of Mississippi the comparative
ly small amount of $74,9t8.67. -
According to figures complied
by the United States Department
of Agriculture, the value Of the but
ter produced in Mississippi in 1908
was S5,111,036, or for every dollars
worth of cottonseed oil used in max
ing oleomargarine the COWS of the
state returned over siXty-nine dol
lars.
These are facts which the farmers
of Mississippi should carefully con-
slider before they lend their sup
port to any movement which dis
courages dairying. An increase in
the production of dairy products
in Mississippi will be just sixty
nine times of greater value than an
increase in the production of olea-
margarine. This is not even taking
into consideration the value of
dairying in building up the fertil-
ity of the soil, thus making the
land more productive in growing
cotton.
The farmers of Mississippi should
awake to the benefits of dairying
and should use every legitimate
means to foster and promote this
important industry.

BAIEY AND BRYAN.

It is an open secret that Senator
Bailey has long cherished a deep
seated personal hatred toward Will
liam J. Bryan. A writer mentions
the fact that Bryan and Bailey,
when members of the 53rd con-
gress, were personal as well as poll
teal, friends. Both those young
men displayed at that time unusual
intellectual ability. Bryan, at the
opening of that congress, was not
quite 81 years of age, and Bailey
was still younger. But both gave
promise of distinction. Less than
three years later Bryan received at
Chicago, in 1896, at the Democratic
national conventional, the nomina-
ton for president. Bailey was
present, and when it became ap-
parent that Bryan's victory was
practically won, Bailey rushed out of
the convention, raving like mad
man, doubling his first and brand
ishing his arms in a most unseemly
manner. From that hour Bailey has
continued a bitter enemy to Bryan,
while Bryan has not once expressed
toward his former friend the slight
est personal resentment. The cause
of this difference is to be found
in the moral greatness of Bryan
and the dwarfed moral attributes
of Bailey. or his moral qualities
Bryan has the respect of the whole
world; while Bailey employees his
brain power in defending Lorimer's
title to a seat in the United States
senate.

Bailey and his small coterie OF fol-
lowers will cut little figure in the
next congress. His leadership is
gone and he is discredited, not alone
for his monopolistic tendencies and
his Lorimer support, but for his
opposition to free raw materials
and the Canadian treaty. Ii the
Democrats need a leader there is
plenty of good material to choose
from. With a republican majority
cut down from 81 to 8 there will be
some show for the adoption OF pop

ARMY AN ASSET OF/FINANCIERs


Indications multiply that the Unit
ed States army and navy is being
used as an asset by the captains OF
industry and great financial inter-
ests, offices Wall street. New York
The fact is developing that it is not
the support of the Monroe doctrine
which in truth is not at all called
into operation by the existing condi.-
tom, nor primarily the prevention
of the violation of laws of neutrality,
nor any particular reverence for the
government of President DiaZ, but
the safeguarding Of the investments
of the Morgan uggenheim bunch
Of tinanciers and their allies which
is the real moving principle in the
Unnecessary spectacular eXtraVag-
ANA of mobilibing a third of the
standing army, a large proportion
of national guard officers, and two
squadrons Of the navy along Mexi-
can territory.
The mailed first of the government
of the United States is being en-
ployed to protect the financial IN
terests OF j. p. Morgan and Co, and
others, in utter disregard of the
principles of international law. The
Morgan house and its string OF
European affiliated firms are mem
bers of a syndicate which con-
Quoted the refunding of large
block of Mexican bonds in Europe

government, with paternalistic So
licitude, comes to the front with
measures of extreme coercion to
protect the money crowd.
Dollar diplomacy and big busl-
ness" are in the saddle, and using
the war powers of the government
to keep themselves safe. Thus we
are witnessing a practical declara-
ton of war against friendly re-
public, an unwarranted usurpara-
ton of executive power in bringing
it about, and the employment of
the troops of country which wres-
ted its freedom from British despo-
tism against the efforts for eman-
cipation of men in neighboring re-
public who, for aught so far ex-
planned, may be struggling for as
great political ideas as did our peo-
pie in revolutionary days.
The most charitable view, so far
as the president is concerned, is that
he has been fooled into this incon-
siderate and wasteful mobilization OF
American arms and has unconsci-
ously played into the hands of the
men and combinations of men who

blunder. The subject will form one
for lively and interesting discussion

rank Over New Bank Law.

The executive committee of the Kan
sas State Bankers association had u
meeting with j.. n. Dolley, state bank
commissioner yesterday afternoon, to
discuss the new banking laws passed
by the legislature. The law allowing
the commissioner to change the rate
of interest which banks may pay for
time deposits was the chief bill dis
cussed. Some of the banks were
doubtful al to the operation of the
law. This was explained to them by
the bank commissioner. The commit
tee endorsed the work of the legisla-
ture as far as banking laws were con-
cerned and it also endorsed the propo-
Sition that the banks in each county
may have meeting and determine
what rate of interest should be paid
on time deposits in each county. The
attorney general has said that if the
banks did this that it would be VOL
alton of the antitrust laws as the fix
ing of the rate of interest is consider
ed an act in restraint of trade.
