Against Discrimination and
Wired coneressmen.

Fort Worth. Tex. March 2.-The
Texas Farmers Union Wednesday
went on record opposing an open sea
policy unless such a policy Is to ap
ply to cotton and all other farm
products.
In telegram 10 Texas members OF

the union. outlined the position OF his
membership as follows;
"The organized farmers Of this
state are opposed 10 keeping an open
sea 10 travellers and tourists unless we
can also keep an open sea to cotton
and farm products, The farmers OF
this country want flag that viii pro
tect the man In the furrow as well as
the man on the ship We favor an
open sea, but object to any policy that
dlscriminates"
In defending the position taken by
the union Mr.. Pope said:
"The farmers OF the South are
smarting under the failure Of our gov.
ernment TO render any assistance
whatever in either holding or market
ing the cotton crops OF 1914 and 1915.
where the cotton producer lost some.

cotton fields OF the South have been
as much a battle ground for the Euro.

civil war and there have been more
cotton values destroyed by the pres
ont war than by the civil war The
peace and dignity OF this nation is as
much offended when European battle
ships destroy the value Of cotton by
closing a market as II they destroyed
the cotton with guns. The farmer OF
the South had as well be shot as
starved. aud one is no greater crime
than the other. Let the sea be open

Little Rock, Feb. 11.-(Special.)- J. Capt. Burkett, cf the PenitentIary Commission reports that the flood waters are receding from the State convict farm at Cummins. He estI- mates that the total loss at the rarn. will not exceed s25,O00. A few or the minor buildings at the Front Camp, which was hardest hit, were not washed away, as at first reported The front camp is located inside a new levee that is being built and when it is completed it is believed the farm will be safe from any ordi- nary hood.

Alfred Griggs was Republican

proved by his votes. He was proud
of the fact that he was perhaps the
