HANDLE CROPS BY CONTRACT
CoIored Men Band Together Down
State to Harvest Corn Crops

State to Harvest Corn Crops
Colored people in the section just
north of Frederick along the bayshore
seem to have solved part of the labor
question for the white persons in
manner that is satisfactory to both
the employer and the employed. The
negroes have been banding together
into gangs of from five to twenty,
according as they are needed. They
appoint one of their number as mana
ger of the gang. He in turn is max
ing contracts with the farmers to
harvest their whole fodder crop for
lump sum of money.
One of the conditions which the
colored men make and live up to in
their agreement in their contracts is
that each farmer s corn crop, no
matter how large or small, will be all
cut and piled in one day. They
contract for certain day and har-
vest the crop on that day. There is
no delay and the farmer knows just
how much it is going to cost him and
just when his fodder will be cut. The
colored men in turn make good wages,
all of the proceeds being divided
equally among the members of the
gang in proportion to the time that
they work. One great advantage in
this manner of having his corn crop
harvested is the fact that he is not
troubled in hunting labor and having
to feed them for several days, while
they are at work on his farm. His
field, where one day standing corn
was growing, can be ready the next
day for plowing and getting ready for
winter wheat and clover. In this
specific instance the negro has not
only aided himself by banding to-
gether, but has also aided their en-
plOyes as well.

EDITORIAL

While preferring Woodrow Wilson
and believing steadfastly he is the
only man whom the South stands
any chance this time to secure the
nomination for, the Herald would
not favor seeing a rumpus raised in
the state of Mississippi to secure an
endorsement for him, if the gather
ing sentiment for Underwood would
bring on such a clash of factions in
the state. Better stand together on
some man if he lose out in the Bal
timore convention than to get some
substantial element of our democracy
split off from the roaln bunch over
personalities of the candidates, for
after all what the party needs is har-
mony everywhere to procure veto

The studied policy of the Percy
coterie of politicians in Mississippi
to make the present legislature
odious to the people, is not meeting
with success in jumps, This legisla-
ture was elected upon tidal wave of
popular disapproyal of bossism, and
in order to bring our lawmakers to
represent the people rather than a
gang of shrewd and wealthy manip-
ulators, and elected by a people s
whose pursuits and interests are
largely agricultural. This legisla
ture has enacted some wise laws in
behalf of the farmer and the fellows
regarded as among the poorer class
of our citizenship, and it has made a
heroic effort to bring the govern
mental affairs of the state as con-
Germs finance, within or to living
within its income. despite that they
inherited from the preceding body
the some $500, 900 Indebtedness rep
resented by the bonds recalled by
Noel's special session. They are maxi
ing some mistakes as do all human
lawmaking bodies, but on the whole
are doing well, enacting much whole
some legislation. and killing some al
ready and proposing to be enacted,
that should properly die the death.

The Legislature of 1912 have by sol
emn resolution demanded the resig-
nation of Senator Percy. Read the
resolution, for it contains the histo-
ry which called it forth in part, be-
fore you criticize their action too
much. This demand was based upon
the flamboyant pre-campaign threat
of Percy to resign if not sustained in
his seat by the people in the prima-
ries. and in which election he met
with overwhelming defeat Che tail
ing the ticket, from which declara-
ton of his own he has artfully sought
to escape by the ambiguity of the
language he employed, just as Roose-
welt is vainly trying to wriggle a.
way from like personal pledge as to
the Third Term. Such demand is
backed up by the modern doctrine
of recall by an already expressed
sentiment of disapproval of an I'M
popular or unfaithful public servant
which first adjective (unpopular) I'M
questionably applies in this case.
Were a RECALL election held now
Percy would undoubtedly be asked
by an avalanche of votes to do just
what the Legislature fresh from the
people as its lawful spokesman or
voice has asked him to do, not with
the expectation that he would do so,
but with the firm conviction that he
OUGHT to do it, in order to send his
name sounding down in history as
it shoulder which act he has but
his satellites to blame for the provo
cation as brought out in another edi-
torial

NO DIVISION ON STATE TICKET.

The Republicans Of Colorado who
are in favor of Roosevelt have had
one of two meetings and find them
selves divided ON the question OF get
ting a ticket before the people. p.
B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, who
some time ago announced that he
would be a candidate in the Republi-
can party and claims that the Roose-
velt followers can control the party
at its regular assembly. This is the
plan proposed in what is known as the
Roosevelt states. However, such men
as Costigan and Lindsey are in favor
of putting in the field third party
ticket. They think it advisable to cut
loose from the old party and come
out with brand new party in the
hopes of getting a large following
from the Democratic party. 1t is
now doubtful whether such men as
Stewart and Lindsey can unite upon a
plan that will hold the insurgents to-
gether. Stewart is strong Roose-
welt man and so are Costigan and
Lindsey. 1t seems quite probable
that there will be rebellion within a
rebellion and it is probable that the
whole affair will be exploded. 1t is
quite evident that the Republicans OF
the state will be united -nn-th" !" -"''-

Kansans claim the honor of be
ing the first of the instructed delega-
tion to leave Clark and line up for
Wilson. This will not result in
bringing Kansas and Missouri people
closer together. 1t was thought that
the long and bitter feeling that ex-
listed between the Missourians and the
Jayhawkers would be put aside when
Kansas decided to support Clark for
the nomination for president. This
act Of the Kansas delegation in turn
ing the tide from Clark will no doubt
be remembered down in the Ozarks for
some time to come.
