If you thing this an exaggeration or

is the boisterous, inconsiderate child,

has had largely to do with placing the
ban on all children. A sunny-natur-
ed. fun-loving obedient child is a joy

Jordan's Movement to Boost Cotton
Savannah Morning News.)

Harvie Jordan, the head of the Sou
thern Cotton Association, announces
that he will call a meeting at Mem
phis early in November for the pur-
pose of boosting the price of cotton
The meeting will include all who
are interested in the producing and
handling Of cotton. Just what can
be done towards giving an upward
movement to the price of cotton isn't
clear, but it is possible that some
way may be devised 1t is certain
that the price is altogether too low
now-that is, it is too low to yield the
farmer fair profit. 1t is said that
the present crop was made for lit
tie less per pound than the previous
crop. but the difference in the cost
of production is very small in com
parison with the difference between
the price this year and that of last
year.
About everybody understands the
chief reason for the comparatively low
price at this time. 1t is that the mills
are not doing a flourishing business
The consumption of cotton goods has
fallen off greatly Therefore, there
has been a great fall in the price
of such goods in order to induce con-
sumption. The price or cotton has
fallen in sympathy with the decline
in the price of cotton goods.
The way to bring a rise in the
price of cotton is to bring back
pros erous times. There is no doubt
that times are gradually improving,
but the Improvement is so slow that
the present crop may be sold before
~ nf
takes place.
1t is being pointed out that there is
plenty of money and that all the
conditions, except one, necessary Tor
the speedy return of prosperity exist.
That one is confidence. The people
do not seem to be ready to engage in
new enterprises or to launch under
takings that require capital and labor.
Hence many are yet out of work and
money isn't circulating freely. Con-
sequentIy the mills are not finding
ready sale for their products. Farm
ers who are able to do SO may de-
eide to hold their cotton for better
price. No doubt thousands are hold
ing it. Unfortunately, there are ten
who are not holding to one who IS.
The market, therefore, is well sup
piled with cotton at prevailing prices.
The obstacle in the way of holding
cotton is the uncertainty as to when
there will be a full return OF prosper
ity-that is, such a return as will SO
greatly increase the demand Tor cot
ton that it's price will advance
Cotton to be a profitable crop this
wear ought to bring at least 10 cents
a. pound. 1t is commanding muen
less price than that. The farmer
planted with the belief that he would
get 10 cents or more. Ii he haa
thought he would get less than y
cents he might have introduced great
erz economies in its production ana
even cut down his acreage.
The panic of October, 1907, was
widespread in its effects. Foreign
mills are finding as much difficulty
In getting rid of their products as the
domestic mills. A change for the
better is looked for in this country
Immediately after the national cleo
ton. If it comes, and farmers are
slow in marketing their cotton, the
chances are that there will be a pref
~ steady Improvement in the price.

Defends SOCIETY
FROM, DENUNCIAIION
philadelphia Inquirer.)

In the face Of Mrs William Astor's
denunciation of the ostentatious yul-
garity of Americas so-calIed smart
sci, there has stepped forward to
the defense of modern society no less
a person that Mrs. George CORVALLIS
West formerly Lady Randolph
Churchill. one of the best known gem
tlewomen in England. Mrs. Cornwall
lis-West declares that society today
is no more extrayagant and pleasure
seeking than it has always been, and
that it is to a certain extent unfairly
judged by the public. She excuses
the eccentric notoriety of many social
climbers" on the plea of ignorance.
And then she agrees with Mrs Aston
that the women of today are too ready
to applaud the display of wealth, too
eager to be known as smart" too ex-
travagant in their emphasis upon
the value, socially, not of courtesy and
gentle breeding, but of money, money.
money.
Much of the folly and ostentation
laid at the door of our present-day
American woman comes, Mrs Corn
misinterpretation" of the meaning and
the demands of real social prestige.
Here in America, she implies, we
attach too much Importance to wealth
and luxury and formal social posi-
ton. There is, somehow or other.
"a popular misinterpretation.''
For the thing that makes a woman
a lady, that distinguishes her as a
person of real Importance, to whom
men and women alike bring their
admiration and their homage, is
something that has nothing TO do
with the size of her income or the
lavishness of her entertainments or
the cut of her gowns. It is some
thing that is best summed up in a
word that is quite adequate and quite
obsolete 'gentilesse. 1t means
kindness and dignity unselishness
and poise. 1t means the thing the
French imply when they say, No
blesse oblige" And, more than
anything else. it means the fneness
of the instinct, the sure point of view,
that seeks, as most to be desired,
the things that are most worth our
desiring. And money, and luxury,
and ostentation are not numbered
among these.

COIN BACK.
Chicago Record-Herald9

I've packed my traps and I'm goin'
back where the fields are green
and broad,
And the colts, with their legs all
doubled up, are rollin' on the
sod
They'll smile, l s'pose, when they see
me some, and they'll, some of
EN- likely say
They thought I'd forsaken the farm
for good the day that I went
away
But let EN- smile-Im going back
I'm sick of the noise and fuss,
Where a couple of dollars count for
more than the life of a common
cuss;
They'll nobody notice I've went
away-if you told EN- they
wouldn't care.
But somebody's face'Il be full of Joy
when she greets her boy back
there.
I'm going back, for I've had my fill
I've saw what there is to see.
The city may still be the place for
you, but it's lost its charm for
me;
And won't | be lonesome there, you
say, with the people SO far
apart?
Well, mebby they're few and far be-
tween, but each of ems got a
heart;
There amt no hundreds of thousands
there to push you around,
know,
Not carin' a cent where you're COM
in from or where you're trying
For the one that's jostled day after
day with never friend to
There amt a lonesomer place on
earth than the city's crowded
street.
I'm goin' back where the dogs asleep
on the step by the kitchen
door,
With his hose pushed down between
his paws-I'm sick of the smoke
and roar
There's money to make where the
crowds are thick and they're
tryin' to rip things loose
There's money to get if you're got the
grit, but, dang it all! what's
the use?
They hustle for dollars all through
the day and dream of dollars
in bed,
And forgive the gougin a fellow may
do as long as he gets ahead
They hustle and hustle and coop
themselves in dark little holes
and fret
And honor a person accordin' to the
money he's managed to get
I'm going back where the poplars
stand in tall rows down the
lane,
Where the bobsled's settin' beside
the barn, defyin' the sun the
rain
Where the birds are sighin away
as though they were hired to
fill the air
With a sweetness that nobody ever
can know who was never a
boy out there;
I'm going back where they'll not
expect me to sit in the kitchen
when
I'm courtfn' the girl I love because
I'm workin' for other men
Where the richest among emil
shake my hand, insteod of let
tin me see
That they think the money they've
got must make them blamed sight
better than me.
I'm going back and you'll stay here
and rush, in the same old way,
Coin to work and then goin' home
the same thing day by day
And you'll think you're havin high
old time and I'll pity you, look
in back
fFrom where I whistle across the
fields) at you in the same old
track
I'm going back. but the crowds won't
know, and they'll still keep
rUshin' on;
They'll never notice that some ones
face is missin' when am
No they'll never notice that some
ones face is missin' when | am
gone
No. they'll never notice that some
ones gone-if they did they
wouldn't care
But every tree'll be nodding to me
when turn up the lane back
there.
