MORE COTTON IN 1909.
Considerable Cotton Coming in Now,
But Bad Weather for Picking.

Considerable cotton is coming into
the city now, Nalthough there is some
delay in getting the cotton out Of
the fields owing to the continued
rainy weather. Up to the present
time there have been 1926 bales OF
cotton sold on the local market this
season, against 1924 mp 20 Septem-
ber 18th in 1910 and $500 bales up
TO September 10th in 1909.
IT had been reported that the re-
.eeipts- up to the present time Of
new cotton for this year were larger
than ever before. but upon looking
up the records today this was found
TO be incorrect. as in 1909 the re-
ceipts at this time were far in ex-
cess Of those Of this year.

TAFT FORCES AFRAID.
Presidents Licutenants Said to Have
Decrced That Hitchcock Must oG.

New York, Sept. "a special dis
patch in the World from Beverly
says:
friends and political advisers of
President Taft have nearly completed
their work to bring about the renom-
iCation Of the president at the next
republican national convention. So
nearly finished do they consider their
efforts that they already count the
president rcnominated and are plan
ming for his reelection.
Their efforts between now and jan
Uary l will be on these two plans:
TIE ousling of Postmaster General
Frank II. Hitchcock from control of
the republican national committee
AID the grooming Of Collector Will
lam Leob. Of New York, for the
craftsmanship Of the next national
committee TO be selected at the con-
clusion Of the conventions.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
announced he has resigned from the
Craftsmanship of the national commit
tee and that a successor is filling the
office.
This these leaders declare is not
so; that Hi. Hitchcock has not re-
signed and cannot resign until there
IS meeting of the executive commit.
tee OF the national committee. There
has been no meeting of the commit
tee since the election Of President
Taft.
There will be a meeting Of the ma
tional committee in the early part OF
December. Soon after there will be a
meeting of the presidents friends and
political advisers at the white house
for the purpose of putting the POST
master General out Of commission DO
litically. At the same time the name
of William Loeb will be put forward
as the proper man to stand at the
helm Of the next committee.
Of a dozen leaders who are
close to the president no one sup
ports Mr.. Hitchcock politically. All
are after his scalp. President Taft
has been appraised OF the fight
against his postmaster general and
the man who steered the course for
his first campaign. He has been told
Mr.. Hitchcock cannot run the next
fight nor can the next campaign be
run in the manner the last one was
conducted. The president is said to
Rave acquiesced in the matter. but
is reluctant about letting Mr.. Hitch
cock go. He believes that the next
campaign must he conducted more
in the open. that the people must be
reached more directly ard that this
cannot De done by the Hitchcock
methous.
None Of the leaders believe there
will be any trouble in getting control
Of the organizat ton the postmaster
general has built up since he became
the head Of the postoffice department.
They say if there it is will not make
'"v material difference.
The leaders who have their eyes
on Collector Loeb believe that in him
the party has a man who can get the
support Of the insureent element of
he party once Mr.. Taft is nominated.
they count on the close relationship
between Mr.. Loeb and former Pres
dent Roosevelt bringing to the sup
mort Of Mr.. Taft the Roosevelt wing
Of the party
The matter will be laid before Mr..
och after the meeting OF leaders at
fhe white house in December in such
" manner that it will he hard for him

because criminals abound and are
members of labor unions. We did not
organize and have no connection with
the unions" But their statements
are not true. Capitalists organized
and keep up labor unions. The man
ner in which the laboring man lives,
his environments, his education, the
way he looks on life, his comfort or
squalor, his happiness or misery is
largely the result of the manner in
which the employer conducts his
business. If the way in which large
factories and big enterprises Of all
kinds are being conducted is creating
a condition which makes criminals of
the employees is breeding discomfort
and unrest; is making the employees
believe that their only hope Of better
ing their condition is through destruc-
tion of property and murder then there
is something radically wrong with the
way. A remedy must be found or
revolution will follow.
! Capital can not say 1--WE will run our
business as we please, 1t is not
the affair of anyone else" Neither
can Labor say, I'VE are mistreated
and we are going to burn, dynamite
and murder those who mistreat us.
Capital and Labor should each learn
that the other has rights and come tc
a better understanding. If the crimes
Of the McNamara's will teach this
lesson the lives of the 81 people lost II
the destruction of the Times building
were not sacrificed for naught.

Iron Co. AS usual he is not willing TO
admit that there could be a possibility
that he m ght have made a mistake !;
that the Steel officials may have fooled
him.
AS the editorial is largely defense
of the Steel Trust, while not directly
he does by inference admit that 1t may
have violated the law. He does this
when he says, 1.-THE law should be clear,
unambiguous and certain, so that
honest men may not find that unwit-
tingly they have violated it,"
lie seems to think that 1t Is sacrilege
for the government to investigate the
manner in which the Steel Trust is
doing business and to bring suit against
it for violation of the law, when he
has said it was alright, that its officers
we're all honest men.
We can see no reason why Standard
Oil, the Tobacco Trust and the Sugar
Trust should be condemned and de-
nounced for violation Of the law and
the United States Steel Co. be made
immune.
While some of the suggestions made
in the editorial are excellent we do
think that the law should be enforced
against all alike if square deal is to
be given and no exception made of the
Steel Trust. If the law is bad repeal
or change it, but enforce it as long as
it is a law against all without excep-
tions Is our idea of a square deal.

ROOseyeIt'S Editorial.

The editorial in last weeks Outlook
by Ex. president Roosevelt entitled,
1.-THE Trusts, the People and the
Square Deal" has been the subject OF
much comment by the press Of
the country and by people
generally. 1t has caused many to
claim that Roosevelt Is candidate for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent in 1912. His statements have
caused him to be bitterly denounced
by many as having deserted the stand
ards Of the people and gone over to
big business and by others TO have
given the only rational and sensible
plan for the control Of big business
and the safe guarding Of the rights Of
the people; that his plan Is square
deal for both capital and labor. We
do not take either view but consider
1t a brief in defense Of his position in
the Steel Trust matter while presi-
dent.
The aggressive, fighting, dominating
spirit of the man is found in every
sentence.
We believe that many deductions
have been drawn and constructions
placed on statements made I'm the
editorial that are not warranted.
We do not consider the editorial a
departure from what Roosevelt had
previously said or done. We consider
the whole editorial as just what one
should expect from Roosevelt. 1t is
characteristic of the man.
He bitterly denounces huge corpora
tions which have gained position and
power "by unfair methods and by
interference with the rights of others,
by demoralizing and corrupt practices,
in short by sheer business dishonesty
and wrong doings."
He just as strongly defends large
corporation, which, as he puts 1t, Is
"pot offending otherwise than 10y its
size" and claims that 1t is neither
wise or just TO attempt to destroy it,
He claims that the present method
of control of large corporations Is
inadequate and foolish and leads often
to miscarriage of justice. He advises
the passage of a law, which is clear
and unambiguous in its terms so that
honest men may not unwittingly
violate 1t. He also urges the estab
fishing Of an administrative board
similar to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, that shall supervise
control and regulate large corporations
doing an inters tate business. This he
says will amply safeguard 1.-The inter
ests Of the whole public, including
producers, consu m g RS and wage
workers.
A large part of the editorial is taker
up with a defense of his action In
allowing the United States Steel Co.
to take over the Tennessee Coal anc

anyone who has ever tasted of the de-
lights of the sawdust ring and it's &C
companying wonders ever forget the
sensations which accompany their first
visit, or for that matter, fail to visit
this ancient and honorable attraction
whenever 1t comes within reaching
distance.
This year we are creditably advised
that the Sells-Floto Circus comes to us
offering more varied numbers on their
program than ever before in their his
tory. Several of the features are espe-
cially novel and include Foofilo Carlo,
who slides head downward on wire
from the dome of the big tent. This is
a daredevil feat never before attempt
ed in the world of amusements. The
marvellous Omar, the balloon horse;
the Sells-Floto army of clowns in a
novel and side splitting act entitled
Fighting the Flames; high school
and menage horses, the celebrated
troops de Louvre in poses in marble;
the Garcinettis; the Melnette family;
Rhoda Royals troupe of educated hor-
SEES; the Hobsons: the Bedinis; the
Lowandes; the Martell family; the
burlesque air ships; the famous Quice
troops; the Roy Smith troupe in nov
ell revolving trapeze act; the magnif-
cent school of Sells-Floto trained ele-
plants and in this is included Happy
and Lucky. the twin baby elephants,
who will perform acts which you have
never seen before.
OF course, all the above is in addi-
ton to the usual circus features with
out which the world of the big tents
could not exist.
1t will be remembered that the Sells
Floto people still maintain their won
derful price policy. 25 cents pays for
admission to the big show in it's enti-
rety. Ticket Offices will be open on the
grounds as early as o'clock on the
morning of each performance.
The Sells-Floto circus will give two
performances. afternoon and evening.
