Hold Your Cotton for Is Cents.

To the holders Of Cotton in Louisiana:
We asked for Eleven Gents and we
got it.. Now we ask for Fifteen Gents

it will be because you who w the

The spinners will not be hurt by hav-
ing to pay Fifteen Cents for the balance
of this crop. They have already bought
the biggest half OF it at around 10
cents and now If we make them pay
Is cents for the balance it will bring
the average price of the whole crop at
about 124 cents and that will not be n
high price for a short crop like this,
especially when the best Informed

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns of his paper, The Commoner,
that the principal canse OF democratic
defeat this year was that the men who
secured control of the party organiZl-
ton Mt St. Lonis sounded II retreat
when ii charge should have been or
dered all along the line. He insists that
conditions demand radical action, and
that the people want something definite
upon which they car rely. The Com
mOner, he announces, will carry on ii
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
mOnOpolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of pnbiic utilities, public
ownership of railroads and telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election OF
federal judges by the people. the cleo
ton of United States senators by popu-
lar vote, direct legislation, and the ST.
lection of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain control
OF the party organization. 10 do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope of
fers the best means for carrying on this
work, and The Commoner occupies this
teld. Inc campaign or education II
organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces will be carried on throughThe
Commoner will not only be interesting
and instructive, but every democrat and
independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly, so as to keep in

forces are making, and to fortify him

Gossip.

A great deal has been said of wone
as gossips. So often has attention been
called to this propensity of women that
we almost consider it as peculiar to the
sex. In the opinion of The Man About
Town, an idle lounge-about of man
can do more real vicious, meddlesOme
gossip in an hour than the longest
tongued termagant women could hope
to do in a whole quarter of sewing so
cieties. A little investigation will show
that the qualification required for a
gossip are an empty head, a jealous
heart and an idle disposition. Select !;
