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.

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. U. S.

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.
