It is hardly to be expected that
all the cotton raisers of the South
oan be brought into a company or
corporation or trust, or that even
all those in any single state oan
be brought under one rigid man-
agement. Even if all were will-
ipg, the necessities of those who
must sell their ootton might ren-
der it impossable for them to ab-
ide by rules which others find it
possible and easy to observe, and
which rules those who are pres-
sed would be glad, under better
conditions, to live up to. There
are distinctions, differences and
disagreements to be considered,
and they appear to render im-
practical at this time any close
soheme by whioh all are to be
brought under a single head or
management.
The difficulties referred to need
not deter in the least those who
are disposed to organize compan-
ies or make other arrangements
to hold their cotton for a better
prioe. It is necessary to hold
every single bale in order to
"stimulate the market." The de-
cision to withhold it must be
general, to be sure, and must be
made with a fixed and fast pur-
pose to hold out; but even if a
few, through necessity, must sell,
they may have less effect upon
the market than those who, con-
trol and hold baok the great bulk
of the ootton that's now unsold.
So it is of the difficulties in the
way of those who would unite all
the South in one immense cor-
poration. Such difficulties ap-
pear to be closely akin to imposs-
ibilites. The field is to vast.
The interests are too diversified.
The conditions too different.
One state has mills; another has
no such interests to influence its
citizens. One State is prosper-
ous; another is pressed. One
State has the boll weevil; ano-
ther is exempt. One State can
give wheat; another can not.
Add to these conflicting condit-
ions the differences which exist
between individuals, and any-
thing like a very compact and
binding agreement to cover the
whole country would appear well
nigh impossible. But such diff-
erences need not interfere with
effective organizations and ag-
reements to withhold cotton, and
a number of such organizations
need not work much less effect
ively than one vast concern, if it
could really be put in operation
The purpose is to hold back
the ootton. If this object can be
accomplished, the price may be
thus affected. Even if a few
must sell, and aotually proceed
to do so, the object of affecting
the price may be accomplished
at least to an appreciable extent.
The fact that a prompt and rigid
organization of all the cotton hold-
ers of the South is apparently
impossible need not deter
those who are able to organize
on a smaller scale and to oarry
out the policy which many other
similar unions are bent on carry
ing out.—Dallas News.
Why do not those southern
farmers and merchants who have
entered into an agreement to
burn 5,000,000 bales of cotton ra
ther than see prices slump be-
cause of a surplus bestir them-
selves and find a new market for
their goods? If half the energy
spent iu grumbling and planning
to burn were spent in devising
new outlets for consumption pri
cea would take care of themselves
without burning raw material.
We have war iu the Far East,
the revolution in Rusia, uprisings
in Europe and in Nothern Africa,
dissagreements in Venezuela and
in Haiti, Congress and the Leg-
islature to interest us, not coun-
ting half a dozen romantio cases
of frenzied finance.
When Unole Sam has finished
all the ships now building for his
navy will need for a manning of
all its vessels 5,087 offioers and
62,368 men. This is more than
twioe as many as the law now
provides for.
President Roosevelt is getting
to be considerable of a populist
if he is in earnest. His recom-
mendation as to government con-
trol of railroads is the first step
in the direction of populist doc-
trines.
A Lawton newspaper says
that "two-byfour editors, when
they get a chance, always start
something to the end that the
world maybe better." Whit a
pity it is, that there are not more
two-by four editors.
Every man who intelligently
advertises his business not only
helps himself but helps to build
up the town by bringing trade
here. Trade with the advertiser.
He's a good town builder.
"'Pay as you go." Long cred-
its make bad friends. The things
bought today must be paid for
sometime, and the price never
becomes less because it is char-
ged to a written account.
Any honest labor is better than
loafing but quite a number of
men seem to be unable to appre-
ciate the fact that this is a fact.
Wonder what sort of an ex-
cuse Birdie will rump up to fool
the people on next time ?

tho famous Byrne Simplified and

A man who is fully alive to his
own interests will take his local
paper because he gets a class of
news and useful information
from it that he can get nowhere
else. 8trong-minded up-to-date
men also want a good general
newspaper in order to keep in
cloee touch with with the outside
world. 8uch a paper is the Dal-
las Semi-Weekly News. A com-
bination of the Hobart Weekly
Pointer and the Dallas Semi-
Weekly News is just what the
farmers of this section need in
order to keep thoroughly posted
upon local news, home enterpri-
ses, personal items, state news,
national affaiis, foreign matt-
ers. In short, this combination
keeps the farmer and his family
up to the times on information.
For $1.50 we will send the two
papers one year—156 copies.
The Farmer's Forum in the
News alone is worth the money
to any intelligent Farmer or
Stockman of this locality, to say
nothing of other special features.
