The Oxford Banner is the name

Bro. Britt is a lifelong nawspapei
man and thoroughly understands his
business which will guarantee to him
success and we hope it. may be
abundantly passed his way.
Attorney General Bickett's reports
show great credit for his work
the past two vears. There is nc
doubt but that he is the right man
for the place and the State at large,
even the republican papers are ad
mitting it. His action in forcing a
"show down" with the Standard Oil
C at lialeigli, has been the cause
ef many appreciative comments
made in his behalf, and has more
closely endeared him to the people
THE LEGISLATURE

t" THAT TAB1FF COMMISSION.
Strange atatsmenta are aometime
given out at the White House ea peels
5 , - ljr regarding legislation, and one ca
hardly belleTtfthatPrmident Taft at
lb . thoriaes some 'of these announcements
For instance, it la given out that th
ehiet aim of the President at this sis
session of Congress is the enactment o
a law" for a tariff oommissien; for "th
&U #a vote of the country that the Be
ppbttcan party to the bast toadUm to
DMBP0Xv**3PS5wv"^''^^ -" ? v .
dealing with the affbiri of the nation."
From tbia we riiiebt infer that the proposed
tariff commiaeion is an entirely
partisan matter, although it is to be
styled?on the face of it?"non- partisan"
[but it is intended te fool the voters
ones more Into believing that the
Republican party "is the best medium
for dealing" with tariff reform. Evidently
the Presidential advisers are trying
to play the same game OB ths President'that
they have ad-'Ued him to play
on the peoplel And the people btuai b?
shaking their sides with laughter when
they remember that the Republicans
have just revised the tariff, and that
President Tltft declared last summer at j
| WlflORa that th? P#??e-AJdrich bill is
the best u"1# JB?*8"re ever ewwtfd by
,lhe Republican If th#* w#*
true then it must be true how, and the
need for a Repulbican tariff commission
must be for partisan politics
only.
The Republican party, including
President Taft can have no need for a
tariff commission unless it can be used
to give some lame ducks' a chance to
get at the public crib; for after March
4th the Republicans will have no power
to inaugurate tariff reform because the
(Democrats will be in command of the
House ef Representatives where all
tariff billa must originate.
The Democrats can have no use for a
tariff commission that they cannot con-)
trol. and whose members are not in |
unison with the Democratic plan of a
tariff for revenue; for the information
that such a commission would gather,
or any advice that it might give, would
very naturally accord with the Republican
party that appointed it.
If the President has been converted to
the Democratic position on- the tariff
and now really believes that tariff reform
is necessary, and wants the tariff
eommissioD to save his face, as it were,
and would be willing to appoint a majority
of real tariff reformers on ths
commission, then the Democrats might
be willing to help him out by voting for
the bill. Hut from the Democratic
standpoint of a tariff for revenue,
. there is quite enough evidence in existence
to prove its necessity, and the
only help needed is to adjust the several
schedules so that both the manufacturer
and the'consumer will be accorded
exaet justice, and the plundering "theory
of protection" shall be laid o 1 the
shell where it can no longer be invoked
to protect the "special interests'' or to
rob the taxpayer.
The single fact that Aldrich, Cannon.
Payne and the other standpatters have
i sudden y commenced to favor a tariff
( commission, when at the last session
of Congress they utterly opposed it,
b* evidence eneugh that it is a partisan
purpose which they hope to effect. The
game evidently is to make the insur
agents believe that through President
> Taft?the stalwarts consentin&r?the
, Republican party is to go on record as
favoring a tariff commission, and then
show the voters that the Republican
party is united, and would have cari
ried out their wishes for real tariff reform
if they had net made the mistake
. of furniag the House of representalives
and mighty nearly the United
States Senate? over to the wicked
; Democrats.
Th theoay of the tariff commission
move is that with both factions of the
Republican party favoring such legislation,
they may, as a forlorn hope,
re-elect President Taft as a tariff re?
former and keep Cougress in line on
the "theory ofriprotection."

| WHAT IS LOST BY BURNING THE
COTTON STALK
North Carolina, state* that: "Th*
to ts, stems, bolls and leaves corresponding
to, or which produce five hua1
dred pounds of lint cotton, are around
3,145 pounds, or more than one and onehalf
tons, containing 67.7 pounds of
, nitrogen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric acid
50,3 pounds of potash, and 59.3 pounds
of lime, or the equivalent of five tons
' of good manure."
' These figures are the result of actual
. weighing and analysing, and not guess
| work.
North Carolina, or the parts ef H
wliere these tests were made, is pretty
' well toward the noithern limit of the
* cotton belt and the proportion of roots
1 stems, bolls and leaves to lint produced,
is smaller than in more southern
I ptrtions of the Cotton Belt. Hence it
would seem quite probable that the
figures obtained In North Carolina are
under, rather Chan over, the aevrage
r for the Co ton Belt. If this be true, and
, we have no reason to doubt it, the acre
of land which produces a 560 pound bale
of cotton also produces, on an average,
approximately one and one-half tons ol
humus forming material which is deft
stroyed when the stalks are burned.
1- This is the greatest need of our Seuthn
era soils, oven the supposedly rich
I- Mississippi Delta soils showing -huge
i increase in crops from the addition of
e, humus-forming materials. IS addition
- to this, keeping in mind that the naxt
f greatest need of Southern soils is aits
rogen, it mast not be forgotten that
t When the stains which peeduco 60t
pounds of lint am burned, there is a
I complete loss ad 41) pouadl of nitfe*."
