Cabin Democrat does not believe that the price paid for middling cotton in Little Rock yesterday was more than 5 3-4 cents.
 The quotations would cause lit tie harm if it were not for the dis satisfaction which they cause among the producers of cotton. Those who deal in cotton well understand that the market price is the price at which the staple can be sold, and that the official quotations of the Board of Trade are fictitious. Yet when a farmer brings bale of middling cot ton to Conway and cannot get an of fer higher than 3-4 cents, and when he afterwards reads Little Rock paper that cotton is selling in that city at 3-4 cents, he is sometimes in- clined to think that the local buyers are in conspiracy to rob him of a cent pound on his product.
 Cotton actually brings just as much and usually more-at Conway as at Little Rock. There is practically no difference in the freight rates from Conway to the mills and those be- tween Little Rock. and the mills. And the Conway buyers, who are also gen. eral merchants working to build up trade, are in position to pay more for cotton than the Little Rock buyers, who must make their profit out of the cotton itself.

AMONG the candidates already men, toned for state auditor in 1916 is Bruce T. Bullion, former private sec retary to Governor Donaghey. Qual- flied in every sense of the word, and universally liked wherever he is known because of his inborn congeniality, moral stamina and noble character, he is just the type of young man that one loves to see honored with a public trust. He has many personal friends in Russellville and Pope county. Hav- ing been reared with him, in school with him, played baseball, hunted and fished with him, and later in life had business dealings with him and noted his career and rapid rise, and the es- teem in which he had been held by his comrades through all these stages of evolution, the editor of the Courier Democrat knows Bruce T. Bullion as one is seldom privileged to know a candidate for a state office, and upon this knowledge of his worth we wish to bespeak for him handsome major ity in Pope county in the Democratic primary in 1916.-Russellville Cour- ierDemocrat.
 Everybody in Faulkner county knows that MT. Bullion deserves every word of the high praise which the Courier-Democrat has accorded him. If he decides to make the race there is no candidate whom the Log Cabin Democrat would more cheerfully sup port. And we do not believe he would lose dozen votes in this, his old home county

4 GOOD WORD FOR CONWAY.

The Log Cabin Democrat takes much pleasure in reproducing from the Normal Echo, the publication of the students of the Arkansas State Normal School, the following editorial, which gives an indication of the fine spirit existing between the city and her schools:
 The visiting student that looks first upon Conway with her long wooded homes, her beautiful churches and her college campuses, is invariably pleased with the outward appearance of the place that is to be his home for the coming three or four years. But he is to be more deeply impressed when be begins to look into" Conway.
 No town in Arkansas has spent so much time and money or has nearly so much to show for it's efforts in the way of social improvements as has Conway.
 Her schools which make the decid- ing factor of her greatness. are among the best in their particular class to be found in the South, and altogether offer instruction to more than fifteen hundred students each year. About six hundred of these students are non- residents and represent every county of the state, with a few from adjoin- ing states.
 Conway's churches, next to her schools in importance. are unsur- passed in the state for either build ings or congregations, except in much larger towns. Her church buildings alone have cost an aggregate of more than one hundred thousand dollars.
 Commercially, Conway is above the average. The cotton trade averages with that of much larger towns, and with this cotton trade is naturally associated large mercantile busi- ness.
 But more valuable. and more char acteristic than any of these material or organized institutions, is the con- genial; optimistic and deeiaedly pro gressive citizenship that has made these other things possible. The stu dent may be surprised to find among Conway business men, real personal friends that are interested in him and have time to know him. The fact that Conway citizens have spent thousands of dollars to get the students here, should be sufficient invitation to in- sure him welcome; not only that, but that he is wanted. has been we'll sought and is necessary unit in Conway society. Then, if Conway has spent its best effort toNget just those institutions that are worth while to student life, has kept from it's borders every institution that is unworthy of the patronage of respectable people, has in fact, built itself to fit the stu dents, let's get into Conway; let's go to church in Conway churches, buy our goods in Conway stores, put on .

year ending June 80, last, aggregated
03,0OO,0 900. This is only $4,000,
900 more than the preceding year.
In this light then read the follow

of money wrung from the people by

The Mexican embroglio will boost
the expenses of the next fiscal year
so the return to simplicity and econ
omy seems rather distant.

LAND AND TIMBER OWNERSHIP

LAND AND, TIMBER OWNERSHIP.
No better idea Of the concentra.

can be had than by reading the letter
Of Joseph E. Davies. commissioner OF

Ownership in the important timber
regions is highly concentrated. In
southwestern Washington two hold.
ers have 40 per cent of the timber;
in western Oregon, five have 36 per
cent; in northeastern California six
have 70 per cent; in the redwood
area 10 have over half and in the
north central Idaho area four have
SO per cent.
In his letter Mr.. Davies writes:
"The control Of our standing tim.

Lack Of Confidence.
The main reason for stock marker
inertia has been lack of confidence,
and this lack of confidence must be
primarily attributed to the industrial
and financial reaction which started
with the Balkan War and has spread
over the entire world. This is the
prime cause of present conditions
which our politicians have aggravat.
ed rather than softened. The world.
wide trade reaction is proved by the
accumulation of the idle funds in all
the principal money markets of the
world, where there has been the
same lack of confidence as in the
United States. 1t remains to be seen
how far cheap money. good crops
and Western optimism will counter.
act idle mills and Eastern pessimists.
All indications point to the coming
turn for the better. This market has
been thoroughly liquidated. and a
fair recovery is Justified by the more
favorable tenor of recent events; not
to speak of the ample discounting Of
u1favorable events which has al
ready taken place.
Stocks are Waverina.
With such weak stock as Missouri

ural that the balance of the list
should display hesitation. Indeed 1t
is surprising that the market showed
such sustaining power. The almost

to create a panic. 1t must be believ.

PoPULIsM AND BULL moosERy

|POPUltSM AND BULL MOOSERY.
In Nebraska the .populists, in LOui-
siana the bull moosers, r stirring.
Both movements are declared to be

they complain on gen raj lines. The
Nebraska pOpulists see nothing in the
existing situation for themselves.

selves and the leading interests Of
their state.
Twenty-odd years ago populism
threatened to play hobs with both Of
the old parties. In the west it drew
largely from the republicans; in the
south largely from the democrats. It
carried several western states, and
secured control. 1t claimed to have
carried two southern <states-L0uis-
lama and Alabama-but did not se-
cure control.
AS strong and striking a character
as John j. Ingalls, Of Kansas was re-
tired from office by the populists. AS
interesting q man as Thomas E. Wat.
son of Georgia went from the demo-
cracy over to populism, and made
things lively for his former associ-
ates at home for several years. At
the time Mr.. Bryan was a member Of
the House, Nebraska sent a populist
William v. Allen to the Senate,
where he fought for free silver
against Mr.. Cleveland's gold standard
policy. In the campaign Of 1892 pop
ulism was a sort of democratic asset.
The party reached high tide at that
time. When the tide turned it ran
out rapidly, and since then only q
few "puddles' have marked where
once a strong stream flowed.
In its own name populism accom-
plished little in a national way. But
in 1896 It was credited with some.
thing that 'bulked large. This was
the character of Mr.. Bryan's demo-
cracy, which, It was charged, had
been much affected by populism. So
conspicuous a democrat as Mr.. Galley
of Texas, then q member OF the
House, thought of repudiating the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan for Presi-
dent, on the that the nominee
was more populist than democrat.
And. later, many democrats, east,
west, north and south, did repudiate
It on that score. They preferred the
republicanism Of William Mckinley
to the democracy of Mr.. Bryan.

FARMERS ARE AROUSED.

Reports from the various Equit'
societies indicate that more grail
will be marketed this year upon
cooperative and patronage basil
than ever before. North Dakot'
IL more alive to the advantages OF GO
operative marketing of grain thar
any of the northwestern states.
The Tribune believes this is tn
correct theory of marketing of graf:
products. There is no valid reason
why the farmer should not follow his
product to the ultimate consumer
such as the mills and the masters
and other consuming agents, the
same as other producers do theil
products.
Canada has made great strides IL
cooperative marketing and II the
farmers stand united the present CO
operative agencies now soliciting the
farmers business can do as we'll.
The Equity Cooperative Exhange
of Fargo has been conducting an ex
cellent campaign Of education among
the farmers. J. NJ. Anderson, it
president, has done some truely con
structive work in this line. Like all
men engaged IN work Of reform he
has been reviled and slandered but
he has hewed to the line and with
the united support Of his directors,
he has done much to expose the
evils existing on the terminal mar.
kets.
This month probably will see the
selling agency moved from Mime
apolis to st. Paul and the establish
ment there Of q free open terminal
market. Its success is speculative
but If the farmers support such q
market. they can in time build up q
profitable selling agency. They need
not be confined to one exchange OF
agency. II the st. Paul terminal
market profits. there is no reason
why the farmers cannot hold seats
themselves on the new board OF
trade. The possibilities are unlimit.
