THE NEW LOBBYING.

The latest development in the art o! m
fluencing a legislator for or against any
legislative proposition is to fire Il whole
organized society ut him or in fact.
whole ~volleys of organized societies at
him. This organization. Of what ever
kind or character soever, is supposed to
represent some interest to be affected
one way or another by the legislative
matter under adviscment.
The society" in Some formal official
way, begs the legislator. as his consti-
tuents, or as representing an ogganized
body of his constituents, not to ruin
their business
1t is a lovely plan. and the promoters
Of it deserve some credit for shrewd-
ness. 1t works two ways, it impresses
the legislator i'm some measure, as Il
threat: and it may also improve him, if
he is an unframed reasoner, by its con
ident assumption of the whole issue;
a seemingly irresistible Inference that
their business will be ruined if the states
men so approached does not fall in with
their wishes.
Ire OtHtf way III WOIkS is III tHt ilH-
preston it makes on the public in gen
eral. "See how all these organizations
are opposing this thing. They see ruin
in it,"
Nevertheless the wisdom of any orga-
nization is as the wisdom Of its units.
No more han a stream can rise above
its source can the political infallihility
of the society rise above the politi-
cal infallibility of those of its individ-
ual members who by their votes decid-
ed to ask the legislator not to ruin
them" "
In so entreating the law-maker they
assume what. by all the laws Of reason.
they are bound to prove, TO wit. that
the proposition under consideration will
in fact ruin their business. 1t would
be curious to know by what economical
training. by what study of facts. by what
observation of the operations of hum
an laws on the nations business. the
individuals who votes such a resolution
through his society is able to say that
a proposed legislation will iniurc him
or them.
The statesman who permits his own
convictions To be overcome by such de
vices is both Il mental and Il moral weak
ling.

Select Next Years Cotton Seed Now.

Select Next Years Cotton Seed Now.
Now is the time to select the cot
ton seed for planting next srrng, or
at least for selecting sufficient for a
sta patch next year on which o
grow seed for the following year. t
is not much trouble to go thu rough the
cotton fields and mark enough stalks
to plant a seed patch next spring even
if it is too much trouble to select
sufficient seed for the whole crop.
From observation we are convinced
that many farmers make serious
mistake when they select seed by fall
ing to give consideration to all tle
important characters desirable in a
plant. Or stating the case differently
they make the mistake of giving I'M
deu prominence to one particula''
character An example of this err n
is found in selecting the large ear OF
corn without regard to other charac-
tiers of ear and talk, or in selecting
cotton having five locks to the boil
without regard to the other charac-
tiers equally or more important.
One important point which should
receive more attention in selecting
cotton seed is to avoid taking seed
from stalks that are not free from
