NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Any erroneous reflection upon the charac-
ter, standing or reputation of any person,
firm or corporation which may appear in the
columns of the Plaindealer will be gladly
corrected upon its being brought to the at-
tention of the publisher.
Much speculation is going on
in regard to what disposition
Oklahoma farmers are going to
make of the cotton crop they are
having ginned but hauling back
to their houses after it is baled.
The average Oklahoma farmer is
not altogether an ignoramus; in
the last few years he has watched
conditions, and his mind’s eye is
akin to that of a prophet. He
knows that the cotton crop is
short this year, and he further
knows that when the transatlantic
counties are brought to a realiza-
tion of this shortage, they will
begin to clamor for enough of the
staple to keep their mills and
spindles in operation. The short-
age will cause acute competition
among the buyers, hence the al-
most certain upward tendency of
the staple. While at present it
seems that there is no shortage,
the receipts at the marts being
greater than it was at this time
last year; but reports from most
of the great cotton producing sec-
tions indicate that the crop is a-
bout gathered, while last year the
receipts were heavy until after
Christmas. The receipts for Leg-
er will be almost as heavy this
year as last, but so for we have
heard of very few where the re-
ceipts will be over sixty per cent
of last year’s crop.
From the amount of white

which is to be held at Muskgoee

gatherings ever huddled together
in the Territory.
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, and
who enjoys the distinction of be-
ing one the most obstinate char-
acters in the United States, is
about to sacrifice himself on the
governorship altar of Kentucky.
SANITATION.
In the makeup, establishment
and to insure the progress and up-
building of any city sanitation is
essential. Now that Leger is on
the very verge of a great leap
forward this prerequisite to future
glory and advancement should
not be overlooked. We need an
industrial move in that direction.
Perhaps a general cleaning up
would serve as a factor in sup-
pressing the ravages of fever
that are now so prevalent.
The Troubled Trusts.
As many people have argued !
all along, the Trust question ap- :
pears to be in a fair way to settle 1
itself. The Sugar Trust is com- j
plaining about the growth of the ; $
sugar beet industry, and it is al- !
so cutting prices of sugar in the ;
beet sugar sections. The Secre- j
I
t
i
I The orient i
tary of Agriculture believes that
i it is only a question of a short
1 time when all the sugar that
: America needs will be manu-
factured within the United States.
This means that the refining of
imported raw sugar must even-
tually cease to be a profitable
business. The home product
can be made cheaper. The sugar
beet production this year will be
almost seven times as many tons
as three years ago. The Sugar
Trust may for a time undersell i ^
the beet sugar makers, but the
latter will always be a check
upon the Sugar Trust’s tendency
to put up prices, as it has done
in the past. As with sugar so
with tobacco. The Tobacco
Trust is held in check by ani-
trust competition. The Trust isj
still buying plants. As plants
are bought new ones spring up. ]
The Cracker Trust finds itself!
confronted by very successful I
opposition, and nearly every
other trust is finding out that
there is plenty of money ready to
pour into any enterprise that
offers reasonable prospects of
profit. The Bicycle Trust is in a
bad way, too. Its business has
fallen off. The value of the
plants that it abandoned after
