United States is trying TO reestablish
the system OF slavery which their fore
fathers knew. DR.. Evans believes it is
high time the American people We're
fully Informed OF what is being done by
their Government in Hayu In order that
this helpless little black republic have
the sort of civili4ng and humanzing it
deserves.
DR. Evans says the amazing number
OF indiscriminate killings OF natives to
which the Marine Corps officials have
confessed and which is the subject of
the present investigation is but small
part of the case.
More important than anything else in
his opinion is the terrible blow being

Oklahoma makes the same sort OF
statement about herself, and for the first
time in any OF the reports from the
South the political note creeps into the
dispatches from Oklahoma City. There
seems to be no doubt that Oklahoma
will be in the Democratic column on
November 2, but newspaper correspond
ents In that State say that because OF
the Government attitude on cotton the
Cox majority will be reduced. Half the
farmers in Oklahoma face financial ruin,
the dispatches say.
Half of Alabama's crop OF cotton is
in storage and Is to stay there &c the
planters can stand the strain. Reports
differ about the amount of cotton de-
stroyed. Some place ii at 500 bales and
others at 1000. Proving the origin OF
the fires destroying the cotton is another
matter.
Predictions are that Alabama's cotton
crop will not be less than last years
And virtually the same is to be reported
from Texas
Gov. Cats OF Florida telegraphed that
the cotton situation in his State is not
acute because Florida has such a d.
versity OF crops" No gins have been
burned in Florida, but the planters are
holding their cotton for higher prices
while wringing subsistence from their
other crops.
In New York all that is mighty inter-
esting. but the cotton broker here cannot
see the situation through the farmer
eyes. Inquiry among members of the
Cotton Exchange produces the Northern
viewpoint.

Cotton Holders Are stubborn.

Munds, Rogers & Stackpole. another
local house, when queried on the sub
ject said:
'Of course we do not endorse any
such methods as threats of violence
for the purpose of sustaining cotton.
Such tactics are TO be 'deplored Natur-
ally. the farmers resent the low price
at which cotton Is selling, but the de-
preston has been due to economic
causes rather than to speculative opera
tons.
THE threats TO burn gins are sig
niflcant chiefly in one particular. They
furnish evidence of the stubborn at
titude of holders. Of which the trade
has not yet taken full cognizance. II
is, therefore. mainly reflection of at
titude that these tactics are to be given
any consideration whatsoever"
According to Cuppia e. Robertson, the
burning of warehouse cotton by night
riders will have, little or no effect on
the ultimate level of prices.
1T may prevent some small amount
of cotton from being offered for sale"
says this house, but so far, all re-
ports traced to their source have proved
to be greatly exaggerated"
