The Penalty.

Pity tbs, It's true, and true It's pity =
/ 1t would be fortunate indeed if every
young girl and the older ones too who
read this from the Memphis Commercial
Appeal would let it sink deeply into their
minds and the truth compel them to a
realization of the lesson before the
temptation comes:
Only fool in padded cell would
marry me now. 2 This is a statement
made by Beulah Binford, the woman
now held in Virginia Jail to testify in
the now famous Henry Clay Beattie
murder case.
1t is the pitiful admission which tells
its own story. When woman sinks to
that level OF the underworld, when she
feels that there is no hope for her, she
is to be pitied. The priceless jewel OF
her womanhood lost, she descends rapid
ly into social oblivion. The path Of life
is strewn with such fallen leaves. They
will continue to fall so long as they are
weak, and so long as men, with tempt
ing tongues, are allowed to tempt them.
1t is the old, old story which for ages
has been told, almost, in fact, since the
beginning OF time itself The world is
not so bad as it once was, but women
continue to be the willing tools of men
and yield themselves when they know
full well what the eventual consequences
must be-
Here is a girl gifted with more than
passing beauty, with talent, with pa
rents who must yet love her. She gave
up all for the man who has shown his
worthlessness. She sits in her lonely
cell. She picks up the tangled thread Of
her yesterdays. The past with its purity
comes back to her She cannot retrace
the way to her lest girlhood. 1t is gone
forever, and with itpeace and innocence.
She is now one Of the worlds wrecks and
will go on and on to her final damna-
ion.
This is the story OF every woman who
sins. She falls once and can never get
pack the innocence that is lost. She [
nay repent and reform. But the God
given gift can never be regained. The
Almighty blessed woman with won
ierful gift when once she loses it it is
rome forever.
The story OF this unfortunate, who lin
,ers in the Virginia jail to testify against ]
he man she loves, is without sensation. q
I is but commonplace recital that the
newspapers give and yet there must be !
concealed somewhere germ Of pathos. l
70 one can say what this woman IS inner
thoughts and regrets really are. She
ode her passion blindly and recklessly
nd now she must pay. 1t is the penalty r
4 sin. She can never know the joys Of
haste wifehood and motherhood. She
fill be to the end mans plaything. 1t
a hard fact to face, but she must face
!, has faced it, in fact, for her admis-
ion is all that is necessary to show how
eenly she feels her moral ISOLATION. =
Nobody but fool in a padded cell
ill mary me now.
1t is the plea of the fallen. 1t is the
anne sentiment that has been expressed
. many times before, but it is the truth.

adopting the new, could not be made
at once but could be done within a
reasonably short time, and would
prove great saving to growers, man
ufacturers and all consumers of cot
ton. The standard samples recently
promulgated by the government were
approved and recommended to the
farmers. exchanges, dealers and man
ufacturers. and it was suggested that
the same be adopted opinions being
freely expressed that the type sa mp pies
were reasonably fair representations.
Also that it would be desirable to
have uniform samples, bales and COW
erngs on all American cotton. / be
lieve that for a product SO important
to interstate and international com
merce and entering so largely into
the worlds usage, standard grades
and tare for each bale should be es-
ia blished by Federal statute.
The subjects of buying of cotton,
sales contracts, bills of lading and
demurrage were all discussed and
valuable recommendations made rela-
tive thereto. Warehousing cotton in
the South was considered, with the
hope expressed that in the near fu-
ture all cotton held in the interior
would go into local warehouses so
soon as baled and that some plan
and others concerned. whereby the
delivery of this cotton would be made
to the buyer al certain ports or mar
ketS, upon mutually fair terms.
The forest conservation bill before
Congress which was so strongly urged
BY both associations as matter OF
greatest importance, has since been

numbers Matters were discussed
pertaining to their mutual interests
in a friendly manner, exchanging
views on various subjects. After
most harmonious conference, we ad-
journed with the understanding that
a call meeting would be held in Wash
ington, D. c., during the early part OF
the new year. to which the officers or
the Farmers Union would be invited.
President Hobbs called the Wash
ingtOn conference to meet February
2, 1911 There was full attendance
from both associations. but, for some
cause. delegates from the Farmers
Union were not present, which was to
be regretted. The consensus Of Opin-
ion of the delegates present was that
the interests of the growers, manufac-
turers and distributors of cotton are so
closely identified that they should
meet and discuss matters pertaining 70
the growth, sale and manufacture of
cotton in the most open and frank
manner Subjects for discussion were,

Postmaster Appointed.

/ Private advices received recently
from Washington from Congressman
Madison were TO the effect that Mr..
Madison had recommended the ap-
pointment Of Phillip c. Kopplin as
postmaster at Hoisington. The ap.
pointment will probably be made at
oLce by the president and the present
congress will then ratify the appoint
ment and Mr.. Kcpplin will immediate.
y assume the discharge Of his duties
as postmaster. o..
The fight in Hoisington practically
narrowed down to two men, Mr.
Kopplin and Sam Beckett. Both
bad good petitions but it is under
stood that Mr.. Kopplin had tie besI
support in his fight for the position
The Office pays 1900 and $500 a
year is allowed for clerk hire. With
the increase Of population in HoiS-
ington continuing it is very probable
that the office will soon be in the
second class and the salary therefore
greatly increased. Mr.. Kopplin ha'
considerable reason to feel proud ovel
the support he has received in the
race. He will make an efficient anc
careful officer, and is well qualified
for the position.
