WHY HE DOES IT
.
The man who writes funny ttuff on
the Cleveland Leader mingle much truth
with some of hi poetry. Hera ia a
sample of that sort of verse, where the
truth predominates:
Tie not because my heart Is light,
That every day I scribble jokes; .,
It ia not wit that makes ma writ
Thing that 1 hop will Uckl folks.
Tie not because my soul must sing.
That every morn I bring these vers
Som days I curs th whole blamed thing
With bitter curses!
Tis not btcaus my lif is sad,
That ! adopt minor key.
Sometimes indeed, I would b gtad.
To stop it war it up to m. ,
Tis not th varying mood that draw
These picture, grave or dull or funny.
Ah, no, not that it I because
I need th money! ' S

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.

preparing for an unusually large pass-
anger traffic to th Pacific coast, which

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.
