The cotton crop Of the United States
is about FIVE billion pounds yearly.
valued last year at over five hundred
million dollars.
Twenty-six million acres Of land were
devoted to ITS cultivation, valued with
their buildings at one billion two hun
dTed million dollars.
OF the total worlds production of
cotton the United States now supplies
over eighty per cent, and seventy per
cent Of the crop raised here is shipped
abroad in the raw state.
These figures do not lie and tell in
convincing terms Of the glory Of our
Southland. Where does the balance
of trade which is so largely in our ia
vor come from? What section is
contributing most to the substantial
wealth Of the nation ?
Read DER these figures again and
you have the answer. And it is this
law abiding, wealth producing section
Mr.. Roosevelt, by his mad policy, would
destroy.
Our hope is that the American peo-
pie will strike down the arm which
has been lifted against fellow-country-
men, loyal, brave and true.

John Brisbee Walker, editorial wri-

this question says the man who NC

good, but when he defends integrity
he demonstrates the fact that he
knows nothing Of the road which leads
nowadays to what the world calls
success. Hear him: Integrity means
a keen appreciation Of his neighbours
rights, "A desire To- he Of service, an ut
ter unwillingness 90 avail himself Of
fOrtuitOus circumstance when that
circumstance is resultant in a neigh
bor's ruin" That isn't far removed
from the demands Of the Golden
Rule and if Mr.. John Brisbee Walker
knows Of any such motto placed con
spicu0usly DER the doorway or gateway
to any human enterprise which the
world marks successful he has knOwl-
edge which is not the possession Of his
fellow cOuntrymen in general. The
picture he draws is ideal but rarely If

That il the question we frequently
hear. a perfectly legitimate question
too. Let us try TO answer 1t in short,
concise manne
Ffty-three years ago lac was born In
New York State. "a farmers boy, and
has never ceased to be a farmer, living
to-day on a farm.
As a young lawer, he began the prac.
tice In "A modest way and incidentally
gave attention TO politics. In 1871 he
was elected surrogate Of Ulster County.
In 1855 he was made chairman Of the
State Democratic executive committee
and succeeded in electing David b..
Hill to the Governorship. Prior to
this he had been "A delegate to two
national conventions, and had declined
a position in the postal service rendered

ton that brought Adlai Stevenson into
prominence.
a vacancy occurring on the State SUI
preme Court bench, Governor Hill APP
pointed thereto Alton Brooks Parker,
then thirty-four years old, the youngest
MAI who had ever sat on that bench.
I'm 1887 the year after Mckinley had
carried the State by an Overwhelming
majority, this same man was elected
Chief Judge Of the Court Of Appeals,
and today holds that position.
What does he stand for? His opin-
are we'll known through his decis-
ions. In a certain case he filed a dis
senting opinion in which he argued
that the Constitution gives each State
a right to decide on what terms It's
business or the business Of one Of its
p ,rts shall be done TwOyears later the
supreme Court of the United States, in
Kansas case, took the identical posi-
ton which Judge Parker had argued
for, and later his associates came over
to his way Of thinking.
In a labor decision he holds that if a
workman, or a body Of workmen, were
restrained from threatening to stop
for any reason that pleased them,
The liberty Of the individual would be
ln%warrantably restricted.
Thus we see that Judge Parker up
holds the chief pillars in the temple

macy and individual rights.
Deliberate, dignified, conservative, a
'especter Of the Constitution, having
-egard for the liberty Of the individual,

yilled Theodore.
