not only the output, but also the
demand for a labor that must be

We pay larger tax every year fol

valuable space, but 1t prevents the use
Of improved implements for better
and more rapid tlllage OF the soil. The
cost Of farm labor Is on the increase
with the certainty that this will con-
tinue till the equation Of wages on the
farms and in the town or city Is more
equal. The remedy for higher priced
labor on the farm is the use of more
and better teams and implements. II

south advances from rs cents to $1.50

three dollars an acre every year for
the privilege Of having stumps In his

a few feet Of untitled soil around every
field stump which produce foul weeds

What has been charged against
stumps applies with still more force to

CONCERTED ACTION IS URGED
cotton.ioIdins Movement viii Assure
Fair Prices for Remainder Of
Season, Says Barrett.

In a statement issued on the cotton
situation, President Barrett OF the
Farmers union, says the majority
of members OF that organization are
holding cotton. and that II farmers
generally in the south will act In
concert with them, prices will from
this time ascend to the level justified
by the intrinsic demand of the staple.
Mr.. Barrett's statement follows:
To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union and Cotton Farm
ers Generally:
The Farmers union has outlined a
definite program looking to the hold.
ing of cotton, and 1t is thus far meet
ing with success. The majority Of
our members in the southern states
are. think l may state with safety,
holding back their cotton from the
markets until such time as the price
corresponds with the value Of the
staple to civilization. Even where
cotton has been sold by the farmer,
It is, as rule, being held by the
local merchant who realizes the price
tendency will be upward and who Is
determined to reap profit on the
transaction.
II non.members generally will CO.
operate with the Farmers union and
refrain from selling their cotton al
present prices. the campaign to se-
cure q Just figure will be an unquali.
fed success.
It Is needless to state that the
quotations now prevailing are far be.
. low the actual worth OF the staple.
but they are also sufficiently to show
to every farmer in the south. wheth-
or or not he Is affiliated with the
Farmers union, the advantage Of
coming In with us that we may win
this fight.
Our interest Is mutual. The busl-
ness man who has bought or will buy
cotton. the Farmers union member
or non.union farmer who grows cot.
ton all have millions to gain by get.
ting from civilization what the
staple Is actually worth. You can rest
assured some one is going TO reap
the profit. Logically. that some one
should be the man who had raised the
cotton. His has been the labor and
waiting, and his should be the re.
ward.
It is from solid business mo-
tive, therefore, that we ask the CO.
operation OF all elements In the
southern states In this important
campaign. The price Of cotton is 60
ing up as certain as sunrise. II re.
mains only to see whether all farm.
ers will get the advantage Of the rise.
or whether they will thoughtlessly
sacrifice their rights.
Hold cotton! That should be the
keynote, in self-protection, or every
man In the south remotely concerned
In raising or handling the fiber.

IA FAST TRAIN
 BUT ILL-FATED PENNSYLVANIA 18 HOUR FLYER WRECKED AGAIN. Four Killed and Many Injured Last
 Night.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Aug 13.-Foul were kille and thirty injured when the Pennsylvania eighteen hour train enroute from Chicago to New York jumped the track on the western out skirts of the city at 6:30 this evening while going fifty miles an hour.
 Several of the injured late tonight are in serious condition and it is expected that more deaths will occur before the night is over. George Mitchell, his wife and four children of Los Angeles were passengers on the train but escaped serious injury al- most miraculously.
 The panic was such as I never would suppose could happen" said Mitchell. T saw men seize a women whose companion had broken a win dow and was pushing her through. pull the woman back and crawl out themselves. Several men rushed over my family. We were the last to get out of the car. My daughter aged fourteen has a bad cut on her leg but the rest escaped with only bruises and slight cuts"
 The same train was wrecked a week ago tonight near Hammond, Ind, all though no one was killed. Tonight's wreck marked the fourth accident that has occurred since the Pennsylvania's s eighteen hour train was placed in service in June 1905.

Beverly. Aug 13.-With the veto message of the Flood resolution pro- viding for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico completed, President Taft brought his weekend visit to a close tonight The president left Bev- erIy tonight for Boston and took the message with him He took a train at Boston at F. M. for Washington and is scheduled to reach the capital tomorrow morning. The message may be sent to congress during the day. Only a desire to revise it slightly is likely to postpone its presentation to congress until Tuesday.
 The presidents veto is is understood, is based largely on the provision for the recall of the judiciary in the Ari- Zona constitution.
 To the New Mexican constitution, 1t is understood he has no particular ob- jection but the Hood resolution so couples the two territories that the veto must affect them both.
 It is understood that the message IS quite long It is expected that the presidents position with regard to the

LEGISLATORS
 ARE WEARY ~i+ B :u The Probable Adjournment
 of Congress AT END OF THE WEEK
That Depends, However, on the Presidents Action on Tariff Bills, But the End of the Session Will Not Be Long Delayed.

Washington, Aug. 13-The whole tar TIT revision question will be settled this week, which in all probability will mark the closing of congress Almost all the members of both houses are anxious to get home. despite the vociferations of the revisionists that
 they would willingly remain in ses- sion until autumn if the legislation
 they want could be enacted. All the power of the democratic party that now controls the house the effective progressive re- publican coalition in the senate will be centered on quick action on the trio of tariff measures. This means. in the belief of the leaders, of both parties, that there will be an adjourn ment possibly by the end of the the week, at any rate in a few days thereafter.
 Out of the present tangled situation with three tariff bills-wool, the free list, and cOtton-in varying stages of legislation, the wool measure will be the first to emerge. A complete agree ment between the two houses has been reached on this piece of legis- latiOn which provides for a basic av- craze duty of 29 per cent ad valorem on raw wool with the wool classified ton provisions identically as framed by Chairman Underwood making a flat tariff on all wOOls.
 It will be rushed past it's final stage in congress and then is ex- pected the presidential veto which awaits all tariff revision bills. Ev- erything hinges on that veto and the subsequent move in the house.
 The democratic leaders are sure of the passage of the bill over the presidents veto in the house. but they are doubtful of the outcome in the senate. The free list bill and the cotton bill are sill hung up.
 Conferees on the free list dis agreed to the house amendment add ing lemons to the free list and the senate amendments limiting the free impor- tation of meat and cereal products to those countries which have reciprocal trade arrangements with the United States. They agreed on all oher amendments and the conference re- part will be presented to both houses tomorrow.

LIVERPOOL STRIKERS
 ENGAGED IN R|OT|hG
One Police Officer Killed in the
 Clash.

Liverpool, Aug. 13.-Serious rioting growing out of the strike here took place today. One policeman was killed by being struck on the head with a brick and many were injured. An altercation between a policeman and the strikers during a transport workers demonstration at StGeorge's Hall started the trouble. When this disorder had been put down the strik- CTS scattered. They gathered again in the Islington quarter and resumed their attacks on the officers.
 A hundred thousand men gathered in groups about St. Georges hall lis tening to speeches of labor agitators. Scenes of violence following the att tack on the policeman necessitated the calling of the police reserves. When they arrived a party of fif- teen policemen were surrounded and disarmed, the rioters attacking them with their own batons. The com manding officer of the police was badly wounded.

 ING pIsREeARpEo.
The Globe Statesman Started to Wash
 ington Yesterday.

Hon. George w. P. Hunt Of Globe left yesterday morning for Washing
 ton to see that Arizona gets state
 hood and gets it right. Unless the railroads over which Col. Hunt trav- els revise their schedules CT unless Pres- ! ident Taft revises his the Globe states man will arrive at Washington too late to throw his generous bulk into the breach in behalf of the Flood resolution. Whether the railroads have undertaken to cut down the time between Globe and Washington from five days to two could not be learned nor was it as certained whether Brigadier General Hunt had wired Beverly, where the President was spending Sunday ad- Ivising him of his coming and directing that no action be taken with reference to statehood pending his arrival. In some quarters, it was stated that the brigadier general had it not in mind to prevent the death of the Flood resolution which now seems doomed but it was given out by those close to Governor Hunt that there was a dispo- sition on the part of certain senators to surrender to the president and to offer a resolution sililar to the Nelson amendment as to the recall. The gov ernor from Globe will not stand for that. Major General Hunt stated with characteristic plainness at the time of his last visit to Washington that he would entertain no proposition from the White House looking to com promise. The constitution was to go precisely as it lay. Not a line was to be changed, not a word, not a syllable. not a letter, not an adventitious fly speck.
 General Hunt left the national capi- tol thinking that he had made himself clearly understood that he would sub init to no foolishness at the hands of congress or the president and that he would not countenance any sort of monkey business.
 Commodore Hunt, however, has found out as so many persons of lesser importance have, that if one is to dic- tate successfully to the capitol and the White House he must be on the ground It is long way from Wash ington to Globe and at that distance. the president and congress are apt to grow reckless and take chances.
 But it is now the purpose of Rear Admiral Hunt to remain on the job un- til it is complete. It should be added that the rear admiral is going now, not as a representative of the statehood committee but in his official capacity of representative of Rear Admiral Hunt. The tyrant in the White House

Deputy Sheriff Wilson thought he saw something more than a joke in this affair. only the day before the Chinese restaurant episode he had made a bet of eighty dollars on the statehood question. He had bet that statehood would be secured in some shape under the enabling act. and he could not see how he could lose. He had already made arrangements for the investment of the money.
 He suspects that the money the sher- if offered at the restaurant was some that he had especially set aside for the payment of that bet and that Mir. White inadvertently got it mixed with real money.
