Cattle in the South.

The Agricultural departments re-
cent warning to Southern farmers net
to sell their COWS is based upon reports
of heavily incre s d sales from this
section. 1t is declared that cattle re-
ceipts from Alabama, Mississippi ard
Louisiana have almost doubled 1t tie
St. Louis market wit in the twelve
month. and that buyers from the MD
die west 'are scourging the Gulf States
in search of breeding stock" Iheus-
ands of cattle, the Washington dispatch
adds, have been shipped from these
states into Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and as far west as Montana.
The evident Willingness Of the south
ern farmers to sell is attributed by the
Washington experts to their desire to
dispose of their scrub stock and re-
fill their pastures with good cattle. The
department serves notice that there is
a scarcity of good breeding cattle Eat
a reasonable price" and recccmmtn ds
that the wholesale shipping of southern
cows to other states be disconiinued.
Southern farmers it explains, can best
improve the grade Of their cattle by
breeding up their native stock, iacreas-
ing the efficiency Of their pastures ard
eradicsting the cattle tick.
This advice seems sourd and tim ly.

that they expect to proht heav y by

Numerous recommendations for the inn

at Hot Springs, Ark. 30 as to attract
more people. are contained in the annual
report Of Supt. Harry H. Meyers. just
made public by the Interior Department.
The superintendent makes recommended

Jacks of all trades. He also makes a rec

Confidence in President.

Il have known the present President OF
the United States personally for approx
mately twenty years, and I take this OPP
portunity to say that mistaken as I know
him to be in this matter. have complete
respect for the sincerity of his motives
just as l believe that at heart he really
desires to do something big and fine for
the colored people before he leaves office
He has proved himself in many respects
lin nearly every respect-a noble and in
spired leader with rare political intui-
ton. But his philosophy here is wrong,
his democracy gravely at fault
Mr.. Willard then entered upon q long
attack of the policy of segregation, max
ing suggestions as to where 1t might lead
and even taxing up the question Of segre-
cation which had been attempted In
various cities and states.
But" he continued, the folly of rails
ing this issue does not stop there. II
differs but very little from the one which
rent the Union. The great struggle
which convulsed the United States was
the attempt of an aristocracy of cotton
and land to create two classes of hu-
man beings in this country, the slaves
and the free. They were willing to sac
rifice the Union and everything else to
this end. Those who in this day and
generation are seeking to establish two
classes of citizens. the disfranchised and
the enfranchised. to say that there shall
be two kinds of government employees
as does Mr.. McAdoo's cabinet associate
they are on the high road to convuls-
ing anew this land of liberty. which
will never know peace and quiet az
long as there are determinations among
its citizens. Upon their heads will be
the responsibility of forcing the issue
and not upon ours. ! have personally
been appealed to by high authority "a
do my best to keep the colored people
in "cool and just eQutpoise."

the Importance of the superintendent
Guardian of Ailing People.

when it is considered he says, that
the superintendent of this reservation is
a direct representative Of the government,
and that more than 100000 visitors, from
all sections of the world. come here an
nuaIly for these baths. it will be seen
that the office is one of Importance The
superintendent is called up on nearly every
day of the year to afford some assistance
or cure some evil for the visitors, per-
sons who are ailing in body, are ailing
in mind. and the superintendent is, in a
measure. the guardian OF the aiIing people
who come here. He Is called upon to
meet and entertain men of prominence
not only of this country. but of others.
and the salary attached to the office
is wholly inadequate with the duties re-
ouired and in no way commensurate with
the Importance of the Office. 1t should
be increased to at least $1,000. 1t must
be borne in mind that this reservation
is self-sustaining and growing in i'm
portance every day.

COLD BULLION
GOES into BAY
Collision in San Francisco Bay Will
Cost $4,000.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. lot
was estimated last night that the
loss from the collision of the South
ern Pacific passenger steamer Semi
mole and the river freighter H. j.
Corcoran, in San Francisco bay
early today would be about $4,000.
1t is believed the 100000 in gold
bullion, carried by the Corcoran,
was lost. The heavy safe containing
the bullion was not fastened to the
deck and is thought to have crashed
through the ceiling of the purser's
office when the vessel capsized. The
Corcoran drifted bottom up through
the Golden Gate and is being slowly
towed in today by the tug Pilot. No
search for the bullion can be made
until the vessel is righted.
That no lives were lost was made
certain by the report of Capt. An
drew Samuels of the steamer Napa
Valley, which aided in the rescue
Of passengers and crews.
