Hogg's Dallas speech has stirred
ui) more talk in political circles than
anything that has occurred in Texas
lately. Some of the talk has not been
of a very complimentary nature.
The ex-governor is able to bear it

Hogg can't bear is silence.

TO COTTON GROWERS.
When the News sees a good thing
it wants it readers to have advan-
tage of it. The article following
appeared in the Dallas News this
week as a paid advertisement. It
was addressed to the cotton growers
of the South, and signed by Daniel
Sully, the speculator who made such
a (lurry in the cotton market some
time ago. We all know that Mr. Sul-
ly expects to make money from this
advertisement by speculating but we
should know that if it should pay
that gentleman to spend thousands
of dollars in order to reach the farm-
ers Willi advice to reduce the acreage
the money must t ome by a rise in
the price of cotton. How much more
then, will it pay lie farmers whose
very living depends oil the price of
the product, to act on the advice giv-
en and adopt the only codrse that
will assure proper returns for the
labor of himself <md family. Mr.
Sully's advertisement reads as fol-
lows:
"if you wish lo win your battle and
obtain a fair price for your cotton
you must reduce your acreage very
considerably.
You have surprised the world by
the manner in which you have held
your cotton.
Surprise it again by culting down
your cotton acreage.
Do not be led astray by the pres-
ent steadiness of prices.
Three causes have contributed to
bring about this rise of more than a
cent a pound.
First: The urgent demand arising
from an unprecedented consumption.
Second: Your courage and wis-
dom in making the buyer meet your
terms.
Third: The belief that you would
cut your acreage to such an extent
that the surplus from this crop and
the growth of 1905(1 would make a
commercial crop no larger than the
w&rld needs.
The first two causes lose their
force (he moment ,! is known that
there is a prospect for a moderately
large crop next year.
Even if the mills take 12,000,000
bales during the current season, this
would leave a carryover of 1,500,000
bales. Hence the necessity of u
smaller >>{'Vp this • nr.
Do not let any rise in cotton be-
tween now and the end of the plant-
ing season deter you from reducing
The price of the cotton you pro-
duce will be regulated by (lie actual
not the expected reduction.
In tills matter of acreage reduc-
tion bear in mind three suggestions:
Don't depend on your neighbor to
do the reducing.
Don't rely on the bad weather to
J cut down the size of the crop.
Don't put a large acreage into cot-
ton simply because it is too late to
i plant corn or other diversified crops.
It would be far better to let part
of your land lie idle than to run the
run the risk of raising a crop so
large as to make possible another
period of low priced cotton.
I am making this appeal (o you be-
cause I regard the next few weeks
as critical to the South and because
I believe that every man who is in-
terested in (lie welfare of Ihe South
should urge (lie imporlance of a re
duced acreage."
FOLK HAS
KILLED MISSOURI'S
LOBBY.
I n In Washington the correspon •_ ,m' acreage
dorrs have tircady put out Mr. Hogg
as candidate fdt -ilr Bailey's * at in
t ic -enatr. Texa^T^is a way of
tic
i l. i ions that will forStthe can.lid
ate- to come ftefore the i|^>ple with
their claims. If Hogg wants the sen-
ator-hip. by gatlins. there will be
the warmest race that Tcxns polities
has bad for many.
J, Such nn advance would be merely
anticipating that you were leasing
the decrease which your friends have
advised you to make.
If the June report of the Govern-
ment shows that you have failed to
make sufficient reduction the only
persons who would !>e gainers by the
advance would lie the speculators
who sell out th< ir futures at a profit.
Mr. Speed Mosby, writing hi Col-
lier's for April 8 says: When Joseph
W. Folk in his inaugural address on
January 9 1905, said "professional
lobbying should be made a crime,"
the public at once knew (hat the gov-
ernor ment precisely what he said.
For a quarter of a century, at least,
the railroad lobby nominally headed
by Col. William H. Phelps, repre-
senting the Gould interests in the
southwest, has absolutely bound and
throttled and gagged nearly every
legislature that has assembled in
Missouri, and during the wwoje of
this time the state was subjected, in
a greater or less degree, to the dom-
ination of a tyrannical Junta of as-
tute politicians Known as the
road lobby. To antagonize this for
midable engine of ultra-legislative
power was folly, and to attempt the
passage of a law in the face of its
opposition was always impracticable
and often utterly futile. The lobby
was king.
Today that power no longer exists
and probably in no Mate in the Union
has a change of such magnitude been
wrought so suddenly and completely,
and without (he enactment of n sin-
gle statute upon the subject. Many
times within the past quarter of a
century attempts have been made to
legislate against tb« lobby, and the
fast attempt expired in a senate com-
mittee aboiit ten years ago The
chairman of that committee. It may
be inentioued, was defeated for re
election two years ago, by the hurl-
ing of empty basing powder cans
into the political meetings held in his
interest.
Without a statute to aid him, with
no "constitutional authority," it Is
said, and with scarcely a word from
the silent man who sits in the execu-
tive chair al Ihe Missouri lapital. the
lobby is vanquished. The reason of
it all is in the man Folk. Not a rail-
oad pass has been seen in Jefferson
Ci(y since "Joe" Folk came to town
—and none is sought by the members
and clerks of the legislature. Not a
whisper of bribery or corruption lias
been heard. There is none, Joseph
W. Folk has made boodling a danger-
ous profession in Missouri, The pol-
iticians tear him, and they fear him
because the people love 111111-— bo-
cause public opinion is back of him
in all tha( he says and does, and in
banishing the corrupt lobby from
Missouri, Governor Folk has vindi-
cated the omnipotent power of a
Statesman.—Austin Statesman.
COMMENT ON HOGG AND BAILEY.
Washington Evening Star is an Ed-
itorial Discusses Probability of
a Great Contest.
Washington, April 11,—The Wash-
ington Evening Star this afternoon
prints (lie following editorial, dis-
cussing the political significance of
former Gov. Hogg's remarks at the
Presidential banquet in Dallas:
"Mr. Bailey won his seat in the Sen-
ate over Horace Chilton. The con-
test was very unequal. Mr. Cbijton
while a good lawyer, was wholly with-
out lire or magnetism as a speaker,
and knew few If any of the arts of the
politician. Mr. Bailey, on the other
hand, hand distinguished himself in
the House by the aggressiveness of
Ills deliverances, hail come to be rated
as one of his party's most capable and
promising men, and had entered the
race wilh the hearty good wishes for
success of many Democrats of oilier
States, who believed the party would
he benefited by his promotion to the
rail-j Senate. H.e soon had bis rival on the
hip, and won <s#sily.
"Gov. Hogg lb wrmetjiing on Mr.
Bailey's own order. He ftas stature,
which is in a public speake* u <* val-
uable asset. He has the orator's jjre
and vocabulary. He knows alt (lie
ropes. He knows his people, from
having canvassed the State repeated-
ly, anil served several times as a can-
didate for office. He Is a Texan to his
finger tips, a physical giant, full of
good cheer and good stories, equally
al home in a rich mansion or a cow-
boy's sfcaek, and an easy mixer with
all sorts mii<1 ebullitions of men. Git-
en then a contest between two suc-i
leaders, and there t* guaranteed ex
citement enough to stir an empire
like Texas from one end to the other.
' tslill. hearty as has Mr. Roosevelt's
reception t.otfl by the people of Texas
Gov. Hogg will find if J)e makes this
race as a 'Roosevelt Democrat' that
he can not capitalize at the polls the
President's indorsement. The pem-
pie of Texas do want the open door In
the Far East and the Panama Canal,
and they approve of Mr. Roosevelt's
altlt ide in both matters. Neverthe-
less, they are Democrats, with all that
that implies in the lower Southern
States, and after Mr. Bailey as ap-
peal.! to them in the old manner and
in (lie old s(rain they will vote In the
same old way. The South was very
fond of Mr. McKinley o'l personal
grounds, and secretely applauded liis
policies, but voted against him in 1900
after be had disclosed himself ani
his policies, as eagerly as in H96,
when he had to be taken largely on
trust,"
MONTGOMERY WARD STRIKE
Meeting for Effecting Settlement
Ends Without Result.
Chicago, III., April 11.—Offering to
arbitrate everything In connection
with the Montgomery Ward strike,
with the exception of the garment
workers' grievance, a committee of
the Commercial Exchange, of organ-
ization of Chicago employers, dead-
locked with epresentatives of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and the
joint Teamsters' Union at the Grand
Pacific Hotel this afternoon.
The meeting adjourned with no
peace in sight. The union labor com-
mittee, fresh from a conference with
Mayor Dunne, set forth emphatically
t||,at the teamsters were not in sym-
pathy witl) the garment workers only,
and if tfre grievances of the garment
workers were not lo b<> considered
there w#s nothing to arbitrate. It
was charged that the Wholesale Tail-
or Manufacturers' Association had
entered into n conspiracy to bring
back former sweatshops conditions
among the garment workers, and that
the conspiracy had been successful in
New York, Rochester and Philadelphia
and was being pushed here In Chi-
cago. Another conference will be
held tomorrow. Neither side ap-
peared hopeful of results making
for peace.
SAN ANTONIO CARNIVAL.
Week's Festiyififs Will pf Inaugu
rated With Maiked gall.
Preparations for the Han Antonio
Spring Carnival, which opens Monday
April 24, and continues until April 30,
have assumed such definite shape that
the management now has ample as-
surances that this festive week will
be the greatest in the history of San
Antonio. The entire organization is
in tangible shape, and with the co-op-
eration of the various social organ-
izations of San Antonio, there is ev-
ery indication u( 4 greater success
than even San Antonio uad hoped for.
The feature of the opening day,
which is to be the annual appearance
of the Kpights of Omala in a gorgeous
night parade, brilliantly illuminated,
will be the noteworthy affair of Its
kind ever seen In Texas. The
Knights will escort the Carnival King
Selamat, through the streets that
night. The keys of the city are to
be delivered by Mayor Campbell to
Ills royal highness, who will then pro
claim a week of festivity.
The parade of the Knights of Om-
ala will extend over a distance of two
miles, and contain, in addition U> the
hundreds of masked Knights, a S';ove
of splendid floats, with fireworks, and
dazzling illuminations. This occas
ion promises to rival the famous
Mardi Gras of New Orleans.
The great Civic Parade, April 25;
grand Trades Display, April 2(1; the
automobile parade 011 the morning of
April 27, and the baby carriage
pnradp on the afternoon of April 27,
are all organized and wi|l move off
III a most gratifying manner. But
little need be said of the Battle
of Flowers pageant and celebration
on the afternoon of April 28. This
annual fete Is so well known lo Tex-
ans generally, and words so inade-
quate to describe lis splendor and
beauty, that it must be witnessed to
be fully appreciated. All the United
States troops at Fort Sam Houston
will participate in tile display.
In passing it might be well to say
that but a few of the features of Car-
nival week have been mentioned.
There will be patriodc exercises daily
and throughout the week and at all
times there will be something doing
for Ihe ins(ruction and entertainment
of the visiting hosts within (he hos-
pitable precincts of old San Antonio.
The whole offair is patriotic in char-
acter, in charge of a joint committee
of leading citizens and ladies, of
which MF; Prank ft. 8»shic)t is pres-
ident,
The CQ-opeation of the Texas ail-
roads in granting the lowest rates
ever known for an occasion of this
kind, and the fact that San Antonio
can amply accommodate a greater
number of visitors than any Texas
city, are matters sure to insure (he
success of the carnival.
