AS soon as the SPECTATORS whom the Gov
eminent had financed, loaded the $50 bale on
a ship of the Morgan (Republican) Ship
Trust, the Government wrote an insurance
policy of $40 on it, pledging the Government
to pay that amount to the speeulator, oat Of

Nearly seven million bales Of cotton have
gone to Europe, since the Government began
to use your money to insure the trusts and
gamblers against loss.
On that 100000 bales. the loss to the
farmers of the South-not to mention what
was lost by those whom the farmers owed
can not be much less than ta0o hundred NAL
lion dollars.
That is the direct loss The indirect losses
because of forced sales of cattle, hogs horses,
mules, corn, peas, and land, can not be esti-
mated.
Everybody can now see that had President
Wilson been willing to do as much for the
Democrats of the South, as he aous doing for
the Republicans Of the North, cotton would
never have gone below 10 cents.
Had he been willing for the Government to
buy 100000 bales Of cotton, Just as it bought
100000 ounces Of silver, neither the Coz

The Plain Truth About This
Administration OF Woodrow

Democratic administration to give bond to
pay per cent interest to untaXed milionaires
for twenty years, when the millionaires were
paying the Government only per cent?
In borrowing from the peoples treasury,
the banks paid per cent: when lending to
the treasury they charged per cent.
And this Son-in-law administration seemed
to think that even SO glaring an outrage was
not enough; hence it took the money away
from its 2 per cent borrowers, and gave it to
borrowers who pay no interest, and qOh0 mag
never return the mooneY.
That 100000 is practically another per-
manent gift to these millionaire bondholders
of the new banking system, qohich the Rep1b-
hc0ns framed, and the Democrats erected.
(Senator Aldrich, in conjunction with other
Republican fnanciers and legislators, made
this new banking system and mention of
that fact should be engraved on his monu-
ment-for he died a few days ago.
Is it your idea of democracy, that Demo
cratic leaders should humbly tread in the
footsteps Of Republican leaders?
How is it that under the Wilson Underwood
tariff. shoes have nearly doubled in price,
while hides are on the untaxed list?
The shoe manufacturer of New England
gets his "raw material" (the hides) from
Canada Argentina, Buenos Ayres, etc, with
out having to pay any customhouse duty; but
if you try to bring into our market some
Canadian, or South American, Or English
shoes, you are stopped at the customhouse,
and made to pay high tax on those foreign
shoes.
Consequently, the foreign hides come free
to the New England shoemaker but no foreign
boots and shoes come free to us.
What is the result? The Northern Shoe
Trust runs up the price on us, to where, last
fall, the cotton grower who shod four or five
of his children, for Sunday school and church,
had to pay bale Of cotton for h0Zf-0-dosen
pair Of shoes!
Is it your idea of democracy, to so frame
the laws that a few millionaire shoe manu-
facturers of the North can pitilessly rob all
the rest of the people?
Is it your idea of democracy for Demo
cratic administration to so legisIate and so
manage that North Carolina cotton mills
can clear net profits of IS per cent, at the time
when the same legislation and manag cement
has plunged into financial trouble nearly
everybody who is not the beneficiary of class
legislation?
They tell you that the war was what hurt
the South
Just as many unjust burdens are laid on
the Lord, so multitude Of sins have been
laid on the war
The war has been God-send to the admin
istration which had spent al the peoples
money On wild appropriations and needed
more taxes to fill the hole
Did the war hurt the farmers of the West?
Did the war hurt the farmers Of the North
or East?
BY no means: the war added to the price
of everything they raised for sale
Did the war hurt the railroads? They said
so until they got an advance in rates, and
then they published their enormously in
creased earnings.

on the war.
With beautiful altruism, and with the true
Christian spirit, our Government has encour-
aged the Trusts to make the most of the
European carnage, which has stopped so much
Industrial activity, and created such a huge
demand for the products of the szove labor
Of 7ucatan and the United States
How is it, that those who are Immediately
dependent upon the cotton fields of the South,
are the chief sufferers from the war?
The cotton factories made money: the pow
der mills that use the cotton made money:
but the cotton farmers who made the cotton
are almost universally ruined.
How is that? How is it that war which
immensely profits other American interests,
should play havoc with ours?
1t IS problem that is worth your careful
study.
These undeniable facts may aid you in
reaching a conclusion:
When the war broke out last autumn. this
Democratic Administration was urged by the
Republican Ship Trust, and by the Repub-
hcan-Democratic milllonaires who control the
industrial Trusts, to establish a Bureau Of
War Insurance, backed by 3O000,0O0 of pub
lie money.
The administration did so, and the Bureau
was created and put to work Sept. 9, 1914.
That was early, wasn't it? The Govern
ment maoves, when the Trusts tell it to mosey
along.
Cotton was going down, day by dav. and a
great cry of distress went up from the South.
But President Wilson and his Son-in-law
declared that the Government should not do
anything to relieve the Southern situation.
The President himself put pressure upon
congressman, to discourage rural credits,
State bank currency, or other legislation

cotton.
Every body interested in fleeing the farm
er, knows his condition as we'll as he does
The Government keeps him under constant
espionage all the year They know how much
guano he buys, and how many acres he plants
In cotton.
The Government watches the weather. the
boil worm, the cold spells, the hot spells, and
every other circumstance affecting the crop.
When ginning begins, the Government
counts every bale, and kindly informs the
spectators how much cotton is in sight
Everybody knows when the farmers cur
rent expense accounts fall due; and when it
is that his creditors will be on his heels. like
an eager pack of hounds after scared rabbit.
When President Wilson. and the Demo
craticc Senators from the South, coldly and
cruelty refused to do one single thing to
relieve the terrible situation produced by 5
and cent cotton, THEY KNEW what the
consequences were bound to be to the farmers,
and supply merchants.
And the Wall Street gamblers knew it. too!
All of them knew that the average farmer.

PELHAM HEIGHTS CONFERENCE ENDS
Baptist Ministers Pronounce
 Meeting as Highly Successful

Pelham Heights, June 26.-(Special) Today at noon the Alabama Preachers [ school ended for the 1915 season. The meeting has been success. The preachers left for home after having fer 20 days listened to some of the most learned Biblical scholars in the south.
 ; This being a halliday D. W. O. Car yer was selected to close the exercises. He closed his lectures which have in the past three years embraced the whole of the New Testament. During this week he has led the preachers in a study of the Revelations-that book which is usually looked on as a book of mystery. of riddles. To this book mystics and idealsts go and bringin g f with them schemes and notions of their own they work out various plans of the !, ages and schemes of millennium. Dr. Carver avoided all this and in a conservative way sought to bring out the great religious teachings of tie book and to show how the principles that the Apostle was applying to con- ditions in his own age in the Roman - human history. The conflict between the world and the church is always on The book of Revelations Is a se- ries of moving pictures meant to DOT tray the naval and religious progress ''1of the gospel and the church as forces cf redemption in human history. The forces of evil are presented under the symbols of a great dragon and two -ls f-- l.. general and in the person of the devil for evil political power headed up in naughty and wicked dynasties and rulers, and for false reli zion systems patronized by and supporting the an noyance and oppression of evil political powers Dr. Carver frequently pointed out the application of these principles to modern political conditions and warned his hearers with reference to our own government. The forces of righteousness in this great moving picture drama are represented by a woman, angels and the son of God and even the throne of God
 pr. Carver surprised and even start led his class in the last lecture by pointing out to them that only three verses of the Bible are devoted to tnc millennium which ahas filled so large a place in the imagination of Christen- dom and about which so many theories have been constructed and so many books written. It can be certain about only that 1t gives assurance of great age of righteous rule and organiza ton of humanity, for while the period of the power of Satan and the beasts Of evil is represented by three and one half years.
 The heights will not be desolate with the close of the school. The Bap- tist young people of the state are to hold convention and conduct a school here beginning July l. The manage rlent will keep a force on hand and the hotel will be open meantime. Pelham Heights has got to be headquarters for Alabama Baptists for the summer rconths.

HOW TO
DODGE
GRIPPE

Tacoma, like other cities
throughout the United States, has
the grip. And as result of the
nationwide epidemic, new code
of physical care rules has sprung
Into existence. II Is being en-
dorsed everywhere.
Here's the code:
Don't kiss anybody.
Eat little.
Don't get wet feet.
Keep out of stuffy rooms
and cars.
Accommodate clothing to
weather changes, IL possible.
Passengers on Tacoma street
cars are responsible for the stuffy
condition, according to conduc-
tors. The street car company
has a rule demanding that con-
ductors open transoms frequent
ly to permit fresh air to sweep
through the cars.
Whenever a conductor attempts
to open transom these cold
days, however. he meets with
such storm of protest from half
the passengers that he is forced
to close ii again.
Especially is this true of the
Pacific Traction and other subu.-
ban cars, which are heated by
electricity.
