READ THE PRESIDENT S SPEECHES.
The speeches "f President Wils'm on his great tour of the country
should )>e read by every thinking man who wishe* light and informa
tion on tlie great issue which has forced the president to go before the
people.
Men -! io Vi 1 1 1 always be guided by honest convictions and not by pre
judice and lack of real inf 0 r in ati°n on all great questions that affect
the nati°n as a whole.
If y. i read md imbibe only the arguments of the demagogues and
politick) s. who always oppose the administration and seek to divide
the people "n all things, and refuse t° investigate the facts and mo
tives pros pting our great leader, you will unconsciously reach false
conclusions and opp°se the league of nation B .
The president certainly knows the intent and meaning of this im
portant issue better than those men wh" were not on the ground, and
his uttereneies are worthy of your 1 bought and consideration.

TEE PRESIDENT S DECLARATION
President Wilson sli°ws liis sincerity and patriotism, his h°nesty
and h'yglty to a principle he believes for the good ot humanity and
the preservation of a Christian civilization, when he declared Monday
in his Sioux Falls speech, that if he felt he personally stood in the
way of the adoption °f the league of nati°ns, he would bo glad to die
that it might he conisurnated.
We wonder if those who are opposing this high ideal could express
the same patriotic sentiment, and declare that if they f elt they person
ally stood in the way of the delating the league of nations, they would
he glad t' 1 die that it might be defeated?
AMERICAN COTTON ASSOCIATION IN SESSION.
Five hundred delegates from ten leading cotton states met iu.New
Orleans Monday as representatives of the American Cotton Associa
tion, and il is devoutly limped by all those interested in a fair price for
this year’s cott°n crop, that this meeting may bring helpful results.
With the high cost of everything else, it would be very unjust and
a great calamity to all the South should the price of cott°n continue
to decline.
To help prevent lower prices no farmer ought t° put his cotton on
the market at this time. If y°u do you arc helping to depress the mar
ket and have no ground fo r complaint.

EDITORIAL ECHOES.
When President Wilson t°hl hi s audience at Columbus that the
I league of Nations is the °nly safeguard against luturo wars, he drove
straight to the heart °f the controversy. There is no °ther safeguard,
and no other safeguard is proposed by any of the opponents of the
League °f Nations. Senators attack* the covenant because it is not suf
ficiently “American” in their opinion, because it is n°t so speeitie as
they think it ought to lie in regard t° the Monroe Doctrine and tariffs
and* immigration, because it recognizes the self-governing British do
minions as distinct political entities, because it d"e s not ree°gnize Ire
land as a distinct political entity, because it does not settle oft hand
all the political questions in the world, because it involves the-1 nited
States in European affairs and because we assume the same obliga
tions that the other nations assume; but in few instances have they
presented any constructive criticism. They have n° plan ot their own
that can give manl iiu l any asuranee that the agony to which it has
been subjected durii g the last five years will not be repeated in the
next ten years or twenty years We do not believe that the average
person is much coneei n cd about the lawyer quibbles °t senators. His
sentiments were accurately expressed by the elderly man who gripp
ed the president’s band at Dennison and said, “ I wish you sueees s on
y°ur journey, Mr. Y I lost two sons in the war; 1 ve only got
ne lefl, and 1 want 1 fixed s° I won’t have to l°se him. 1 hat is
how most America! l ey want thing s fixed so that this supreme
calamity of all civilization will not happen again, and they are not
trying to split hairs as to what obligations the l nited States may as-,
sume f°r the peace ° world and what ohligati°ns it will seek t°
evade.-—The Ne\ orld.
WISE WORDS, AND TIMELY.
( The New Orleans Times-Picayune.) *
The report of a special committee of the New York Federation of
Labor, made public °n Lab°r Hay, constitute 8 a cheering indication
that men of light and leading in the ranks of organized labor are
moving to discourage the blind st riving for selfish advantage and
avert the disaster invited by the current industrial turmoil. “On ev
ery hand,” the committee recites, “there are strikes and threats of
strikes. Most °f these disturbances have been prov°ked by radical ag
itatt°rs who have not the interests of the toilers at heart, but who
seek to promote industrial warfare for the purpose of destroying °ur
present economic system and substituting industrial ownership by the
proletariat.
Your committee is convinced that this condition is wr°ng and can
not be permitted to continue unless we—and by ‘we’ your committee
means not labor alone, but the people of the whole United States—
wish t° inti a disaster unparalleled in hist°ry. The people mus he gi
ven a breathing -pell. There must be a suspension of struggling for
class and party advantage. All Americans must bend their backs to
the oarv and pull steadily against the storm-tossed waters until °ur
boat rides again safely on the placid sea of prosperity.” T he commit
tee recommends, therefore, that organized lab°r cea s e wage and
working hour controversies and co-operate in the effort to increase
production and rest°re normal conditions.
This message t labor, from accredited representatives of organiz
ed labor, is rendered the m°re remarkable by the fact that it emanates
from a state in which “strike fever” is by way of being epidemic. In
New York <‘ity alone d°zens of “trikes, involving many thousands of
workers, are in pr< gress. The city’s building trades are, we believe,
pretty thoroughly tied up by strikes to enforce demands f°r pay in
excess of war-time levels. There is more or less continuous strife in
the variou" branches of the clothing industry. Even the window-wash
ers have caught the infection and are demanding “fancy wages.”
The work of the “radical agitat°rs” is plainly apparent there, and the
e°unsel of saity is as plainly needed. The committee of the New A °rk
federation displays courage a>. well as sound judgement and patriot
ism by its warning and appeal.

A wealthy business man of Ivn°xville. Tenn., was mysteriously shot
Monday night and died on the porch of a farm house near the (-itv. He
said before his death his assailant, was a woman. The theory is that
he and a w°man had been automobiling as his automobile was f°und
near the scene. Be silre your sins will find you out sooner °r later.
Jack Apple, of Savannah, whose peek was broken twelve years ago
in an accident at T ybee, died in a Baltimore hospital last week, where
be had been for only a few days. He was paralized, but had been ac
tive in business until a short while ag°. If a man with a broken neck
and paralyzed for twelve years could still be engaged in business,
what ought t° be expected "f every man with a sound neck in this
world? Unfortunately so many men are born tired, and have retired
from all work.
SOME ONE LIKE YOU.
Someone like you makes the heart seem the lighter.
Someone like you makes the days’ work worth while.
Someone like you makes the sun shine brighter,
Someone like you makes a sigh half a smile.
Life’s an odd pattern of briers and roses.
Clouds sometimes darken nor sun shining through.
Then the cloud lifts and the sun light discloses
Near to me, dear to me, someone like you.
Someone like you who stands stead-fastly near me.
Knows me and likes me for just what 1 am.
Someone like you who know 7 s just how to cheer me.
Someone who’s real without pretense or shame
Someone whose fellowship isn't a felter
Binding my freedom who’s loyal all thoough.
Someone whose life in this world makes it better,
Blest to me, best to me—Some one like you.
Someone like you who’s the same Day and Morrow
Firm as a rock and square as a die.
Someone who’s stead fast in joy or in sorrow,
Someone who’s dearer each day that goes by.
Fortune is fickle and hope is deceiving.
Comradeship ends and life changes all through,
There’s only one thread that runs all through the wear
ing.
Fair to rue, square to me, Someone like you.
Never a trouble but you help me bear it,
dust by the fellowship you have with me.
Never a joy but ! want you to share it.
How far you fare or wherever you be.
Never a burden, but you make it lighter,
dust by your smile that l see creeping through,
Never a glad hour but yon make it brighter.
Heart of me, part of me, Someone like you.
James W. Foley.

terest by all present. It will tie

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.
And a tender boy who wears his
rusty cap and outgrown coat that
lie may secure the coveted place in
college and the right in the libra- 1
ry, is educated to some purpose.
There is a great deal of self-denial
in poor and middle-class homes
that has not got into literature,
and never will, but that keeps the
earth sweet; that saves on super
fluities and spends on essentials;
that goes rusty ami educates the
boy: that sells the house but builds
the school; works early and late;
takes two looms in the factory,
three looms, six looms, but pays
of!' the mortgage on the paternal
farm, and then goes back cheer
fully to work again.—From Emer
son 's Essay on “Culture.”
SUCCESS.
The father of Sussess is work.
The mother of Success is ambi
tion.
The oldest son is Common Sense.
Some of the other hoys are Per
severance, Honesty, Thoroughness,
Foresight, Enthusiasm, Coopera
tion.
The oldest daughter is Charac
ter.
Some of her sisters are Cheer
fulness. Loyalty, Courtesy, Care,
Economy, Sincerity, Harmony.
The baby is Opportunity.
Get acquainted with the “old
man” and you will be able to get
along pretty well with the rest of
the family.—The Observer.
