I EDITORIAL BRIEFS Possibly the early bird will catch the hookworm. Some politicians think there la a pie that binds. It teems that the Democratic poli tician can not stand prosperity. Congressman Thomas is taking un usual interest in the welfare of his friends in the Third District. Dr. Cook has -at last been located in Europe. Probably he, too, will tome back with a new Idea. And still some people are com plaining because the farmer is get ting a fair price for his products. According to the Greensboro Rec ord Guilford County Is overstocked on candidates for sheriff, even this 'early in the game. As the campaign approaches every year Congressman Small renews his talk of increased waterways for the First District. An exchange asks what are Demo cratic principles? There is no one to answer until Mr. Bryan returns from South Africa. it seems that no one has yet dis covered to what brand of Democracy Mr. Simmons belongs. Wonder If he is still a Democrat? Mr. Bryan says things are not as bad as they might be. That is very true, and there is very little danger of a Democratic victory. A man in Virginia claims he wants to marry Carrie Nation. It; seems that Virginia is also unable to prop erly provide for its insane. If the Democratic party in Mary land gets much worse we expect to M e the Baltimore Sun come into the Republican camp for "keeps."

Republicans Will Make a Vigorous Fight for Four More Congressmen From This State More Interest Manifested in Several Southern States. Washington, D. C., Jan. 30. It has developed her within the past week that the Republican leaders are determined to hold what congres sional districts they now have in North Carolina and add two, three or four more. Special efforts will be made to carry the ninth, third, sev enth and fourth. The election of Rep resentative Morehead to the congres sional committee was the beginning of this campaign. It is understood here that the Republicans believe that by making the right nominations they can certainly win the ninth and the third districts. Up to this time candidates have not been discussed but it is a fact that the districts have been canvassed by counties and those interested have concluded to make desperate fights in the ones mention ed in the foregoing sentences. President Taft's Desire. President Taft has begun to real ize the true situation in the South and will help in this movement to increase the number of Republican Congressmen from Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. There is a hitch between Mr. Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock. Men on the inside in Washington say that Mr. Hitchcock does not care es pecially about electing Congressmen in the South, but is more concern ed about delegations to presidential conventions. Mr. Taft, on the other hand, is very anxious to have a Con gress that will carry out his policies. Recently the President has said that he would rather be defeated for re nominatlon than to fail to do what he thinks the Republican platform, on which he was elected, promised that he would do. In other words, Mr. Taft has Indicated that he wants1 to make good to the people of the country. It has become evident with in the last month that Mr. Taft has put a check on Mr. Hitchcock and his allies. Certain Southern ap pointments which should have been made some time ago have not been gent to the Senate Party leaders who have been in the habit of hav- Ing their suggestions carried out, are alarmed at the situation. They do not understand why certain things bave not come to pass Ninth District Promising.

A change of 200 votes in! that county in the fall election would wrest it from the control of the Dem ocrats.

MOREHEAD IN CHARGE Will Capture Other District in This State Action of Committee Will Mean Thousands of New Recruits to Party in. the South Macliine Talking of Patronage Instead of Party Success President Taft Unifying the Hitherto Warring Factions in His Party. Washington, D. C. Feb. 1, 1&10. Special to The Caucasian: President Taft has, during the last week, made considerable progress. He is daily unifying the hitnerto warring factious in his party to unite on at least one thing, and that is to put through legislation in harmony with the pledges made by the Repub lican party in its last National plat form. One of the reforms to which the party is pledged, namely, to establish a system of postal savings banks, has already been favorably reported and will soon be favorably acted upon. It is believed that this measure will pass at the present session of Congress. It is understood that other im portant bills regulating corporations, etc., will also soon be reported. V The Congressional Campaign. It is understood that the National Congressional committee is already actively at work mapping out the which winning fights are to be made districts in the United States in which winning fights are to be made to elect Republican Congressmen. With a view to off -setting the Re publican losses, that may be sustain ed in certain western congressional I districts, the committee is lookine to the States of North CarolinaVirginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and Ainham in t,. maL- motQ.i,i gains. t is thought that at least ten or twelve Congressmen can be elect ed from these States in districts that have never before elected Re publican Congressmen. In short, it is figured that North . , , I ugui to eiect five or six Republican Congressmen at ieast Congressman Morehead in Charge of South. In tnis Connection, it is most Sig- nificant that the National Congres- u.b sional Committee, in electing an Ex- 11 v, v'ummillw' tu cu,e1' cuu duct the next campaign, has placed " Con8ressmaa Morehead of .nuiiu caioxiiia. it was coiiaiuereu i so important to have him on the active Executive Committee to con duct the campaign that Congressman Longworth, of Ohio, " resigned to make place for Mr. Morehead.

There has probably been no more conspicuous figure in tha coatrol ui tne bull market during the cotton season than Mr. W. P. lirown. oi New Orleans, a Southerner, who ha for a long number of ear. bt-n a close student of cotton and its rela tion to the wealtfi of Uie world. The statement which he makes mat cotton will yet go to cents may De considered ligntiy by tnose wno cannot figure that ihe lieecy tuple can reach such a big price, but Mr. Brown, in an interview in the Atlanta Constitution of jester day, gives a plausible account of his attitude which is very interesting. " I am more bullish than ever. 1 don't believe this country has seen high prices for cottonyet, I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell for 2v cents a pound in the immediate future.' "These were the short, snappy sen tences spoken by W. P. Brown, the millionaire bull operator in the New York and New Orleans cotton ex changes, who spent twenty minutes in Atlanta yesterday afternoon, en route to New Orleans from New York City. "Mr. Brown, wearing a gray suit and black derby hat, was among the first to swing from the Southern ves tibule as that train rolled under the shed. He stopped on the plaform to speak to his lifelong friend, Joe Bil lups, general agent for the West Point Route, who came to the plat form in a roller chair to see Mr. lirown.

' 'I don't know anything I can say thst will be of interest. You know. so many men want to treat cotton and its sale flippantly. I don't care for that. Cotton is a serious propo- ... , , . , . . . sition, and should be treated serious ly. I don't mind you boys saying, "W. P. Brown said," and then go on and state facts. So here goes: Just say I am en route to New Orleans to pay a brief visit there at Mardi Gras time, and then I am going back to New York City. I feel more bullish than ever. This is based purely upon a matter of sup ply and demand. I believe the crop -"' consumpt on is a ' name of 13.000.000 bales. From this It is is as has been published 10,300,000, easy to see that the price will have to go up. I don't believe we have to'seexn,gll prices for cotton yet. I expect to see it sell higher, and in the immediate future, and I would not be surprised to see it sell for 20 cents a pound. The Government's Estimate. ' 'The United States Government I recently issued a statement, showing that up to the first of December the consumDtion bv the American spin ners was ereater than a year ago. whlch was the heaviest known.

No matter hat tbo price of cotton may be next year, you will not be able to make as much clear money on an all-cotton crop at jou will be able to make if you raUo your home supplies first and make cotton your surplus. Ueids, if you raise vegetables, meat, chickens, and have eggs and other produce for a!e. you ill get good price for them through the Produce Exchange, and in this way make as much, if not more, clear money than you can if you make cotton your main depend ence. All happenings seem to be In fa vor of the farmers. The high cost of living should prove a bletniug to them, for it will force many to lUe at home who would not otherwise have done so. The lesson that these home-livers will learn will be a strong one, and will prove in actual experience more valuable than hun dreds of pages of theory on the ques tion of making your living at home The plans for the present year should be based first on making all your home supplies, then plant or raise anything you see fit as a sur plus and to sell. This method Is bound to Insure prosperity and plenty for the farmers. While, of course, we feel a deep interest in the welfare of the working men In the cities, we are compelled to follow the law of nature and look out for self first. After this is done we will be in bet ter position to help our city brethren solve the problem . of high living prices. Make your food stuffs at home and avoid the high prices which are bound to prevail in the fall. If you are short on corn and meat you are bound to be In a bad fix next year.

Guthrie, Okla., Feb. l. In addi tion to the sworn charges filed against Governor Haskell alleging misappropriation and misuse of State funds accusations similarly attested have been filed with- the Legisla tive Investigating Committee against the School Land Department by Representative Humphrey, of Ato ka. It is declared that $205,920 of the funds of the School Land Depart ment, Ed. O. Cassidy, superintendent, have been misappropriated and used contrary to law. This Is based on the official report of State Examiner and Inspector Taylor and opinions of Attorney-General West. Governor Haskell said to-night he was glad the charges had been filed as the people of Oklahoma at last would "have a chance to learn the whole truth." The charges against Governor Haskell were filed in the Lower House of the Legislature by Representative L. A. Morris, repre- Ssenting the Republican minority. In general, the charges against laskell are that he mismanaged the public funds under his control In whole, or in part, and has wilfully and designedly authorized the mis appropriation of said funds. Representative Maris calls atten tion to public money paid by Gover nor Haskell to A. T. Smith, his law clerk. In addition to the latter's reg ular salary which Mr. Maris charges was not for State purposes, but in the private Interest of the Governor, Attention is called In the affidavit to an alleged similar payment of $500 to Wr. T. Hutchins, a Muskogee law yer, indicted with Governor HaskeJ in the town for lot fraud cases. W. B. Anthony, the Governor's Pri vate Secretary, is also a member of the , Legislature, and Representative Maris asserts in his affidavit that It is contrary to the State Constitution for Anthony to hold the two posi tions.
