M'VEAGH SAYS ANDREW
DISOBEYED ORDERS;
PLEADED TO BE KEPT

LANCASTER, Mass July 5.-Secretary
of the Treasury Franklin MacNeagh, In
a statement given out here. declares that
the resignation of 4. Piatt Andrew, as.
sstant secretary of the Treasury, was not
submitted until ii had been repeatedly re-
quested by both Mr.. MacVeagh and Presi-
dent Taft and that Mr.. Andrew had
pleaded to be retained in the service, and
brought every possible influence to bear
to have the request for his resignation
withdrawn.
Secretary Macyeagh. who is a visitor
at the home of Bayard Thayer. has re-
ceived many telegraphic and telephone
messages from friends and official
quaintances expressing confidence in his
prepared long statement OF his side OF
the controversy precipitated by Mr. AM
drew's letters of resignation.
Secretary's Statement.
The statement of the Secretary says:
Il regret that 1t seems necessary TO re-
fer TO the letters published BY Mr. 4.
Piatt Andrew and addressed to the Presi-
dent and TO me The virulence OF the at
tack has probably limited its effect: but
apart from the attack upon me, he
strangely misrepresents number OF the
chief men of the Treasury Department 10
whom | attribute a large measure OF the
success of the department work, and
seems to deny that anything has been ac-
complished either b. them or anybody
else | am obliged. therefore, TO restore
Mr. Andrews resignation to it's proper
light.
Mr.. Andrew says he resigned because
of the conditions in the Treasury Depart
ment of which he disapprored. \ CONF
parison OF this statement with facts is
probably the simplest way to test the
aninus and the veracity OF his letters.
He did not resign voluntarily, but VAS
asked to res:gn-and asked repeatedly
and he used every effort and influence
possible to get the request for his resis-
nation withdrawn. and pleaded to be
allowed to continue In his place. And il
was when he had failed 10 have the re-
quest for his resignation Withdrawn, and
because of this that he made Ills attack,
and chose TO give the impression that his
resignation vas matter of his own

Editor Picayune:
/ notice an article in the Pic
ayune taken from the CONNER
cial Appeal written by Beverly
L. Clark in which he arraigns
the cotton farmer of the South
for holding his cotton and he ad-
mits that he is not only trying to
hold but he is actually and pos
lively holding. and the said Clark
vents his spleen and sets up a
howl because the cotton farmer
wants a fair price for his cotton.
He seems to think the farmer is
a mere puppet and lets other
men say what his hard earnings
are worth. The farmer has the
same right and it is as much his
duty to his family and his country
to say what the price of his cot
ton as he is to say what his
horse, COW, or even his land is
worth, and it appears to me that
the parties who want and need
our cotton are responsible for the
present condition of affairs that
he so greatly deplores. This
same man Clark seems to .hink
that cotton is not g commodity.
He says it is like putting up cash
collateral for the privilege of USE
ing your own money in one bank
and going to another and paying
for the use of money with which
to transact his business.
Now for the information of
the gentleman will say, that any
dictatorial Bilingsg ate he may
use in regard to holding or SELL
ing cotton will have about as
much effect on the cotton far
mers as castor oil would on a
craven Image. Mr.. Clark says
he is not a merchant or cotton
buyer but fails 10 tell Us any
thing of himself except he is a
citizen and tax payer and WIS
born and raised N the sunny
South and that he don't thin i
is right cotton il you owe debss
and can'tarraage to satisfy your
creditors.
was talkinE to a gentlemen
in Prescott the other day and &c
told me that he vas holding s.
bales and | don't suppose he owes
anything to anybody, and there
are hundreds of others ali over
this southland just like the one
| speak of who are determined
that the scepter shall never be
wrested from King cotton.
My apology for this criticism
is the fact that the Pic is read
by large number of people and
Commercial Appeal has large
circulation and knowing that the
cotton farmer has the same legal
and moral right to hold cotton
that he has to hold any other pro-
perty, is my excuse for this
article.
Mr.. Clark insists on selling re-
gardless the price. and futher-
more says if the crops are not
too large we would get a fair
price for it. Now | want to say
if there was fifty million bales in
existence and it was all tied up
like the cotton was in 1861 to 1865
the spinner would pay a good
price for it. The writer Of this
article sold cotton for fifty cents
per pound in gold. He is a poor
one-horse farmer and q renter.
He paid fifty dollars rent and
forty-one dollars and fifteen cents
for fertilizer, planted 5 acres in
cotton and gathered l943 pound
seed cotton which made 696
pounds lint and 1857 pound of
seed, and at that time the price
offered on the market, it lacked
