HOW Is IT.?

A single farming county in Alabama
with negro population of 80 per cent
of the total shows loss of 5000 in
habitants in ten years The negro has
abandoned the cotton farm for the coal
mine, or the iron works, or city life
He left the farm because the white
man next him grew more cotton the
acre planted than he could produce,
and that is a law inexorable and self
executing.
The Afro-American has left the farm
and gone into the mill, because on the
former the rule is to cheat him out of
the last cent, while in the latter he is
paid good wages at short intervals.
We notice that according to Southern
journals, the Afro-American gets all
the prizes for first bales and best cot
ton. How is that?

What the Anti-R eciprocityites
Did At Minnesota Convention
fst. Paul Pioneer Press J

(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)
A resolution opposing the recipro-
city bill now pending in congress
was passed by 250 farmers from all
parts Of Minnesota, in session at the
old capitol. The statement will be
taken to Washington by delegation
Of Minnesota farmers.
The following were appointed as
delegates: T. j. Meighen, Preston;
j. r. Morley, Owatonna; o. o. Ut
horn, st. James; w. F. Schilling.
Northfield: A. J. Rockne. Zumbrota; !;

H. G. Rustad, Madison: ]. L. Morton.
[Eancock; A. ]. Mcclure, Grand
RapfSs; o. o. Sageng, Dalton; A. L.
Hanson, kSa. In view Of the lack of
an accredited list of delegates and
the impossibility Of determining who
should go to Washington, If repre-
sentatives were to be appointed from
each county, 1t was recommended
that the chairman of the meeting,
Henry Feig of Atwater, call for vol
unteers from each county.
Will Appeal to Legislature.
A resolution was adopted calling
upon the chairman to appoint COM
mittee Of three to bring the resolu-
ton of protest against the Canadian
reciprocity treaty. before the Min
nesota legislature, with the request
that it be adopted and forwarded to
congress in the form of concur
rent resolution. The committee will
be appointed shortly.
T. J. Heighen Of Preston offered
the following resolution:
In view of the fact that this meet
ing is typically representative Of all
the agricultural interests in this
state. we earnestly recommend that
q committee of nine be appointed by
tho chair to call a convention to form
q permanent organization Of the
farmers and to issue call for con-
vention of the farmers of this state
with this end in view.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously. The chairman deferred ap-
pointing the committee until later
date.

son and Henry Feig we're appointed
as an executive committee to devise
means for defraying the expenses OF
delegates to Washington.

meeting, stating that the newspapers
have refused at all times to print
the farmers side Of the reciprocity
question.
Notices were sent to the various
newspapers concerning this meeting,
but no mention was ever made In
the news columns. There seems to
exist q spirit among members Of the
press to ignore the farmer In this
great and all-absorbing question:
question Of vital interest to him. II
the newspapers do not give the peo-
pie the real facts-both7 sides to an
interesting topic-then they are not
newspapers.
when a senator at Washington
speaks in favor of the Canadian re-
ciprocity, the press blazons his name
before the public. Should some one
speak in opposition to the bill, the
newspaper accounts finish up some
thing like this: John So and So
spoke in an anti-reciprocity VEIN
II the newspapers persist in such
treatment, the farmer should estab-
lish a paper of his own, though 1t be
unable to obtain the Associated
Press or United Press service.
Officials Without Understanding.
II have, and know YOU have. the
highest regard concerning the integ-
rity and honesty of our government
officials. They were born with an
excellent opportunity to acquire
knowledge, while we were bern only
with good common sense. With due
respect for the learned men at Wash
ington, let me say that they look at
the question of reciprocity in the
wrong light. They don't understand
the issue Of the measure as you gen.
tlemen understand it.
"To return to the press: No news
paper man attended this forenoon's g
session, and none this afternoons
meeting. 1t isn't fair"
Resolution Of Protest.
The resolution of protest follows:
We, farmers and business men of
Minnesota, in mass meeting assem-
bled, do most earnestly and sincere
ly protest against the ratification by
congress of the pending treaty with
Canada in It's present form.
In doing so we hereby announce
and publish the following reasons:
First-That the treaty is unfair,
unjust and discriminating against
the agricultural interests of the Unit
ed States, giving these interests
practically nothing in return for
what 1t deprives them of.
Second-That it will inure to the

seems probability of the disturb
ance spreading to- the Bordeaux wine
regions. Sreious agitation has brok-
en- out in the Charante, Dordogone,
lot and Garonne departments, whose
situation with respect to Gironde
corresponds to that of Aube to
Msrne, and the president of United
Unions Of the Gironde wine growers
declared today that the suppression
Of territorial delimitations in the
Bordeaux region wonld be followed
by the gravest, consequences. The
latest dispatches from the cham

as greatly aggravated. Mobs con-

erty of unpopular merchants, whom
they accuse Of importing grapes from
Aube and other departments, from
which they manufacture the wine
designated Marne champagne. The
authorities are rushing reinforce
ments of troops to the affected
scenes, but the movement Of the wine
growers has been SO skillfully or
ganided that destruction has been
done, and the rioters, have gone be-
