The riot of negro soldiers station
ed at Houston, Texas, recently is
but another proof that the negro is
unfit for military service and should
not be called for duty along with
white men. The negro can raise
the devil and cotton, and that's
about every darned thing in the
world he is fit for.

We believe the farmers every
where find the weekly letters of
John H. Page, state commissioner
of agriculture, both interesting and
instructive. Mr.. Page is a pleasing
writer, and does not ride rough-shod
over the opinions of other people.
He offers no advice in a bieoted or
offensive way, and leaves the reader
in at least as fine a mood as he
found him.

Usually about this time of year
a dozen or two prominent citizens
scattered about in various sections
of the district announce that they
are going to run for congress, and
this year is no exception to that
rule. Enough men are running for
congress now that a joint debate
between them would last for two
days and nights straight. But
when the actual running time
comes, some Of them will have had
another thought about the matter.

England has and the most humiliating
fact in American history. The American people do
not want war, but Congress has been brOwbeaten
into submission by an autocratic President, backed
by press subsidized by d foreign Government
and controlled by the money power which is max
ing enormous fortunes out of human blood The
statements made IN the corrupt press and repeated
and reiterated every DAY that the American people
favor war are lies, made out of whole cloth
Every one who mixes among the people knows
that. The manifestations in favor of war have
been organized and paid for by the money power
and did not represent the people. The meetings
in opposition to were ten times more numer-
Gus and represented majority of the American
people. But President Wilson wanted war to
save England, and he has got it. 1t is Woodrow
Wilson's war"
The article continues, launching attacks upon
Elihu Root and various other citizens of promi-
nence identified with recent patriotic movements,

r THROUGHOUT the length and breadth
of this Republic, the Spectator is putting
his sickle into the grain,
Every herd of cattle. every drove of hogs
every little stock of wheat and corn. hay and
potatoes, and every other necessary Of life
for man and beast, is being gathered in. and
held together off the market, for the purpose
of holding it to the last possible moment, and
selling it, for the highest possible profit.
Laws against monopoly which are as old
as English Jurisprudence have been trampled
under foot in the I. S. with reckless dis
regard Of the sufferings of common hu-
manity, as cold-blooded and essentially cruel,
as the German atrocities in Belgium and
Northern France.
The Spectator who knows that he is
putting up necessaries of life, out of the
reach of the common man, who has a family
to support; out of the reach of the work
woman, dependent upon her wage for a live
lihood; out of the reach of the working girl
who is expected to support life, and preserve
her virtue on SIS per week, is just as truly
responsible, in moral sense of view, for the
probable consequences to that man, that wo-
man. and that girl, as though he, himself, de
prived them Of the means of honest existence.
The old English laws against expressing,
forestalhng and regrating, penallzed just
such ruthless speculation, as that which, in
our modern and enlightened Republic, is
driving millions of our poorer people into
despair
We have recently heard those editors who
assume to speak for the Government, tell the
farmers that they should allow the Govern
ment to have their cotton at reduced price.
Think of the infinite impudence of such q
demand
How long has it been. since the Presidents
son-in-law, Mr. VIM. G. McAdoo converted
the L. S. Treasury into a supply fund for
the use OF the cotton gamblers, who borrowed
the money from Mr.. McAdoo at 3 per cent
interest, bought the farmers cotton at $50
per bale, and Immediately insured it in Mr.
McAdoo's Treasury Department, for 500 and
$40 per bale?
At that very time the farmer, almost be-
side himself with the distress brought upon
him suddenly by war scare, which caused
his creditors to become frantic to collect their
claims, and which at the same time, lowered

expect any relief from the Government.
In vain they pleaded with the Cabinet with
Congress, with the President. with public
opnion-they were coldly shut out. told to
go home, sell their cotton and pay their
debts
At the same time the spectators were in

stocks and bonds, IN order that they might

product at less than the cost of production.

for more than double what the cotton had
cost them, and thus clear profit Of at least
S4O0,0O0,000, with no other labor than that of
a few days devoted to gathering the crop
into their rapaci0us hands
No greater crime than this has ever been
perpetrated, directly, by and government,
upon any people,
But now we are told that these same
farmers must forget how they were robbed:
must forgive this stupendous wrong. and out
or their slender means, must d0n0fe to the
Government, millions of dollars in the value
OF their one money crop.
1t Is no pleasure to remember that fearful
time, during the fall and winter Of 1914.
Those were black months, and from the
blows then received, tens Of thousands Of
farmers-as loyal lot of Democrats as ever
voted the tlcket-1cere beaten dorm, ncrer to
rise again.
How is it, now, that enc hundred million
people can be held up in the highway Of
national progress and prosperity, and de-
spoiled of what they produce. to such an ex-
tent, that those who feed the world can
scarcely feed their own children, and those
who clothe the world find it difficult to clothe
their own flesh and blood?
1t is because we have allowed cur tariff
system to become such a breeder of monopoly.
that the world never saw its monstrous like
before.
1t IS because we have allowed the sovereign
power of creating and controlling the
nations money, to become a speculative
bludgeOn, with which few thousand in
satiable robbers plumber the American
masses.
1t is because we have allowed the Public
Service corporations to 90 on, from decade
