MAN’S MIND AND WOMAN’S
Some years ago some psychologists
and philosophers (all of whom were
men) got together and settled defi
nitely to their own satisfaction that
the mind of woman was inferior to
that of man. *
* They argued that man’s place in
the political and business world was
governed by the fact that he Was
fittest to govern and that woman had
no place in the sociological atmos
phere beyond the home, the sewing
circle and the church festival.
This was most gratifying to the
males. They chirked up a bib and
looked important, except when their
wives were present, and they con
sidered themselves as the lords of
creation.
But there are other scientists of
various kinds, and a committee re
cently sat upon the human mind of
all varieties, and, after examining
the mepinges of the brain, the cellu
lar process of the medulla oblongata,
and a lot of other sections too diffi
cult to mention, the result as an
nounced, is that there isn’t any dif
ference between the mind of the male
and the female; that one is equally
capable with the other and that all
differences relate, not to the
mind itself, but to material, physo
logical and heredity considerations,
which are beside the question in
hand.
What there is in this world that
the women do not get is due either
to the fact that it is utterly unat
ainable or that they don’t go after
i. It needs no demonstration that
he mind of women is equal to that
of man.
“OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS
ARE THEY CONDEMNED
The republican secretary of agri
culture practically has given the lie
direct to the republican insinuation
that farmers are broke because of
their own recklessness and bad bus
iness judgment. Practically all the
farmers who have been ruined, says
Secretary Wallace, “had been doing
fairly well until they entered the
period of drastic deflation. D
It is not polite for a member of
the administration to talk that way
when the president himself haR told
congress that the farmers got them
selves into trouble, but Secretary
Wallace may not have thought for
the moment what the political effect
of his statement would be. He was
writing a report. He recited the fact
that the property of the farmers of
the United States lacks more than
20 billion dollars of being worth as
much today as it was when the dem
ocratic administration ended, that
more than a million farmers were
forced to give up their homes in a
single year, that 23 per cent of the
farmers of the corn and wheat states
were bankrupt as long ago as the
end of 1922, and that t he percentage
of tenant farmers who lost their
proper'. - was materially higher.
Then came the confession that what
the president and other republican
leaders have said about incompetency
of farmers la not true. 99
“These losses,” wroto^- Secretary
Wallace, “have not been due to in
efficiency on the part of farmers.
Practically all of them were incurred
by men who had been doing fairly
well until they entered the period
of drastic deflation. The nation has
suffered in another way. The drastic
economies which have become neces
sary on the farms have greatly re
duced standards of living. They have
compelled overwork by the farmers,
unaccustomed farm work by mothers,
increased work by children kept out
of school—in too many cases the
older children taken out for good. »
A Laugh Or Two
Two workmen were wheeling dirt
„
in wheelbarrows. The boss went up
to one of them and said:
Look here, you! Your mate’s
wheeling four wheelbarrow loads to
your one. »>
“Well, n snarled the workman,
“don’t blame me. I've told him
about it half a dozen times already.
John Ruskin was wont to attack
all and sundry with a savage merri
ment which even his best friends
resented at times. Once he wrote
a friend hoping that a fierce criti
cism written by him of his friend’s
picture would make no difference to
their friendship. To which the
friend had the wit to reply;
“Dear Ruskin—Next time I
you I shall knock you down, but I
hope it will make no difference to
our friendship. >*
Mrs. Jones had just engaged a
new cook and she had only one mis
giving about the matter. Bridget
was not at all bad looking and she
feared the young men would be
hanging around.
Now remember,” Mrs. Jones said
to her the first morning • after
breakfast, “no followers are allowed
to the kitchen. My last cook had
to leave for not keeping to that
rule.” , .
.
A few days later the mistress
went to the culinary department on
a tour of inspection. She opened
the door of a large cupboard and,
to her surprise, found a policeman
standing there. She turned an ac
cusing eye on Bridget.
“What’s the meaning of this?’’
she asked angrily.
“I dunno,” promptly replied Brid
get, “he must have been left there
by the last cook.”
NORWEGIAN KING
FEARS TO VISIT
IN UNITED STATES.
New York, Sept. 30. — King Haa
kan, of Norway, used to think he
would like to visit the United
States, and perhaps to shoot a few
buffalo in Buffalo, N. Y., or a few
Indians on the streets of Indianap
olis.
However, Mme. Charlotte Lund, a
singer, who arrived here Monday
on the steamship, Stavangerf jord,
said the king told her he certainly
wasn’t going to take the social pun
ishment that was meted out to his
npphew, the Prince of Wales. There
fore, he will stay at home.
Residents of the Long Island social
colony are particularly grieved be
cause he isn’t coming. They culti
vated the Londonese manner of
speech for the prince, but a lot of
them were frank enough to admit
that they couldn’t speak Scandi
navian dialect.

is produced on the surface. The gun
barrel Is then washed with warm wa

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
Dan Sully Tells of Spectacular Bull
Campaign in Cotton of 1903 and 1904
Dan Sully, who In 1903 and 1904
led the most spectacular campaign
in cotton that the world has ever
known, gives a complete story of his
operations and the reason why he
started this campaign in the Manu
facturer’s Record of this week and
in connection therewith makes an
estimate of 11,000,000 bales as this
year’s cotton crop, although he em
phasizes the fact that he has no fi
nancial interest in the cotton market,
as he is now living in Los Angeles
and is engaged in business there.
Mr. Sully graphically tells the
story of his cotton campaign which
carried the price of cotton to a hitl
er figure than at any time since
shortly after the Civil War and en
abled the cotton growers of the
south for the first time in 40 years
years or more to get a living price
for their crop.
During this campaign he had to
deal in about 500,000 bales of cotton
every day.
He writes that in February 1904,
one Sunday morning he was called
on the telephone by a certain mem
ber of a firm who were the largest
exporters, shippers and sellers of cot
ton to European and American manu
facturers, asking for a conference at
the Waldorf. He says, “They told
me their position and the position
of the entire manufacturing world.
In effect » wtt8 that if Gotton went
up 2 cents per pound more—it then
was selling practically at 19 cents—
it would break them and break every
European manufacturer, and they
begged me to leave the market alone.
I told them I had nothing whatso
ever to do with it, that it was sim
ply a question of supply and demand.
But their arguments were that my
presence there, and continued pres
ence there, would pat cotton in such
a position that it would go higher,
even though I did not buy another
bale, and the outcome would be so
terriffic that it would be comparable
only to a severe panic.
As I was walking through the
corridor after leaving them, John W.
Gates stopped me—a man who,
knowing my opinion relative to the
market, and who had received many
hundreds of thousands of dollars on
cotton purchased by me for him, but
was never in my secerts or knowing
what I was going to ultimately do.
"He said, ‘Sully, I am thoroughly
convinced now that you are right
and that cotton has got to go a
great deal higher. I am ready to
join hands with you, put one million
or five million dollars into a pool and
allow you to manage it and put cot
ton wherever you desire.’ I said, ‘Mr.
Gates, I do not think I would be in
terested. I have always carried my
campaign on my own resources and
ability, and I do not think at this
time that I would care to join in any
pool.’
During the following week J&rnade
up my mind that it would not\be a
wise thing to have a financial pdsic.
With every bale of cotton that I had
then on my books and not one bale
short, I announced to the world that
I was going away on a vacation.
Referring to the fact that during
this campaign he was ask repeated
to wager on his estimate that the
cotton crop of 1903-04 would not
be as much as 10,500,000 bales and
these bets amounting to $250,000
made at the request of other people,
Mr. Sully asys that not a single one
hate been paid. On this point r
writes, “I have always been a si'
dent of the effect of psychology but
up to the present have been unable
to solve the following psychological
problem: What the reason was for
the many persons who made bets
with me on the crop not paying me?
They were all cotton men in some
sphere of cotton—north, south or
Europe;-- Not one individual ever
paid me one of the bets and the mer
chant who made the bet in Liverpool
and put up his $10,000 with mine
applied to the courts of England for
the return of his $10,000 on the
ground that it Was a gambling debt
and the English court decided in his
favor. M
Commenting on Mr. Sully’s state
$
the Manufacturer’s record re
minds its readers that Sir Chai rles
Maccara, one of the leading cotton
manufacturers of England, has re
peatedly boasted that he organized
the International Federation of Cot
ton Spinners for the express purpose
of breaking the Sully boom, by in
ducing the cotton manufacturers of
England to unite in curtailing their
consumption, although he knew the
crop was below the world’s needs,
This was a definite conspiracy for
the express purpose of breaking down
the price of cotton regardless of the
impoverishment which 7 that meant to
the cotton growers of the south and
Sir Charles Maccara has over and
over again boasted that this is one
of his great achievements in cotton
operations.
