How supremely important that the
farmer who would hold his cotton off
the market to force the price up should
be out of debt! No matter whether
he puts his cotton in warehouse or
keeps it at home, if he has to get ad-
vances on it in order to pay his debts
he is in no shape to control the mar
ket. He may get money from the
bank and worry the buyer for little
while, but the banker will worry him
later on. The only show is to make
what you live on and live on what
YOU make, as nearly as possible, until
you can snap your fingers in the face
Of the cotton buyer.-Abilene Farmers

lock, the English writer on social and eco
nomic questions, delivered before students
and professors of Columbia University in
Havemeyer Hall yesterday afternoon the
first of a series of five lectures that he will
give on the subject of socialism.
This Is the first time that Mr.. Mallock
has visited this country. The National
Civic Federation was largely instrumental
in getting him to come, and his lectures at
Columbia have been arranged in co-opera-
ton with that organization. President
Nicholas NJ. Butler introduced the speaker.
Among others in the audience was the Rev.
DR.. David: Hughes, father of the governor.
Mr.. Mallock said that a large number OF
highly educated persons who, actuated by
generous and unself1sh sympathies. are anx-
ious to claim for themselves the name Of
socialists. have never submitted themselves
to the discipline of a preliminary scientific
inquiry into what socialism Is. =
They see," said Mr.. Mallock, that under
the existing order of-things many evils ex-
list. They are persuaded that these evils
are due to the general constitution Of So
ciety, and that the evils would disappear
were that general constitution altered.
Such being the case, they leap to the Curl
GUS conclusion that the only alternative to
the existing state of things Is socialism.
and that by leaping into the fire We shall
free ourselves from all the evils of the fry
ing pan.
