Just at this time whil insurance com panies in general are receiving especial attention at the hands of 'th public it might not b amis to warn th public against some companies which offer to inaur against accident During the past few month on company In particular ha been working in this state without authority and in direct violation of law. The charge has also been made that this company has bean using th nam of Brotherhood member in order to secure business from the railroad men. This it is claimed they had no right to do.', Re gardless of the fact that thay have no right to transact business in this state they have written a number of risks. , Thoa who feel that they have, been taken unaware are naturally indignant The law ha been set in motion and It I evident that this accident company, will either conform to the laws of the state or abandon th territory. It 1 only risht that th law should be respected in order that th people may be properly pro tected. A company which will flagrantly disrespect th law should be absolutely prohibited from even attempting to Iran act business in th tat where the taw ha not been complied with. Th transcontinental railroad are now preparing for an unusually large pass- anger traffic to th Pacific coast, which will coon commence. They keep posted It ie their business to keep informed and are now preparing for th rush.

Growers of th leading crop in th United States, sometimes get proud and boast of tli Importanc of th crop in th growing of which thay are interested in. For a long tim cotton wa called king, and th growers thereof dictated national policy and cotton planter looked down with acorn upon "corn cracker," and drinker of "sod corn whiskey," be- i they were not ahl to indulg in French whim,' or spend much of their tim talking politic. ' 1 Thing have now changed, when the lords of the cotton plantations were thronging the fashionable hotels at Wash ington, and their, sons and ' daughters war honored gueete at state dinner and fashfonabl ball in th capital and national law makers and presidents showed more defferenc to king cotton than to any other agricultural potentate. They produced much less cotton than now. with a cotton crop of but 8,423 in 184E to on of 4,861 bale in 1860 th cotton growers dictated the policies of tht Ration, 1 Now with a crop that ha grown from 2,578 bales at th clos of th civil war in 1866. to 10674 bale in 1903 tht dot ton grower cannot understand why they cannot control th nation a of yore. TJte rsason i th -contemned corn rais- ere have, elnce they hav had an equal voic in public affaire with other pro ducers hav .insisted on the adoption Of broader and wiser nation policies, as a result of their operations th corn raiser, wheat grower dairy men and other agricultural interests have had ' an equal how and prospered as never' before in th history of our country. In 1860 at the close of king cotton's reign th corn crop of th United State wa 838.792.740 bushels; in 1903 il wa S.244, 1 76.928. Th wheat crop in i860 was 173,104.924 bushels and in 1903 it wa 637,821.833 bushels. . In 1860 there were 2.044.077 farm ir. the United States, and th value of farm; and farm property that year was $7, 980,499.060. In 1900 there were 8,739,667 farm and ' th value of these farm' and the farm property thereon was $20,614,001,838. These figures sl)ow that th number of farms 'in thi ifnited State increased in the forty year? after' the dethronement of king cottot 8,696,580 and that during all our collo- nial time and th 70 odd years of kinf cotton' rul but 2.044,070 farm were mad in th United Statee. If you long for th reinstatement of the policies of king cotton consider the com para Cve value of the farm products oi 1908 which are as follows: The con 'op of that year was worth $1.21 6,- 000.000 milk and butter produced $696, 000.000. hay $605,000 cotton $575. 000.000, wheat $525,000,000, egg $520,000,000. oata $282,000,000 potatoes. $138,000,000 tobacco $52. 000.000.
