HEFLIN DELIVERS WARM ADDRESS ON
 COTTON OUTLOOK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

 lieve that the crop would be less in amount, and they had based their oper- ations on that calculation again.
 Why, d tariff bulletin filed with Con gress in June this year by the National Cotton Manufacturers association con- tains a statement which is intended to make members believe that they paid 15 cents pound for this crop. They quoted Mir Graham, one of our consuls abroad. evidently for the purpose of making us believe that they paid 15 cents, and I be- lieve they expected to pay 15 cents. I do not think they ever expected to get this crop cheaper than 141a and 15 cents.
 Unprecedented Condition
 But we have had an unprecedented condition. The cotton opened all at once. It never opened that way before in the history of cotton production. In Septem- Der and October, the whole crop was pick ed out, or nearly all of it, while hereto fore it has been gathered in September, a little more iIl October, more in November and December, and in January. This year it is all picked out, all that 1t is possible to gather But the price is reduced so low that the cotton growers have to give half of 1t today in many places in order to pay for gathering it. What do you think of that my friends? Many of the fields have been abandoned. The cotton growers cannot pick the cotton. Stock has been turned in on it. Why can they not pick it. The price of cotton now in the open market is so low that it is not worth while, and labor is so scarce and so high that the cotton growers cannot af- ford to pay to have the cotton picked. Yet the agricultural department-and I propose 70 challenge it's estimate how're ports 14,300,O0O bales. That is not big crop in the light of the circumstances that exist today in the world.
 Tn the report of the agricultural de- partment of 14,S00000 bales they may be right and l may be be4mistaken. but. at all events, we will never produce that much cotton this year. But if we should pro- duce it. and the department of commerce and labor last year said 1t is necessary for the south to produce 13,500000 bales this year that was last year--it will be in order to keep from reducing the already too low supply of cotton in the world. "Then, speaking of the 1909 crop, the department of commerce and labor said that short crops brought the spinners of l.the world into the most acute situation | in which they have been since the civil war.
 Now. then, we are following two short crops. We lacked 1,25O.Ooo bales in max

 protection nothing Is said about 1t.

Some of their most dear ly purchased books have been repeat edly reviewed in no pleasant terms yet they advertise extensively
 "In conclusion I will say that have thought of four ways to hasten the time that commercialism may be elim- mated from journalism and these. are: Personal integrity of the publisher and editor of the paper, for all or our great Journalists of yesterday and today have been and are men of lnneXible char acter: the securing of such an exten- sive circulation that it will not be necessary to depend upon advertising but this would mean a catering to public tastes to become popular and few editors would stand for this; en- doWed papers that can be independent of everything and mirror the real trend of civilizations lastly, the combination of the papers into newspaper trust that would surely be as inimical to the public welfare as any other com bination of interests but combined boycott against certain advertising that had been withdrawn from one paper would make the advertisers come to their knees The theatrical trust could not exist without the press and just think what a combination against them would mean and how it would force them to advertise uniformity where as now they can place their ads where favorable criticisms are forth coming "

The failure of the Daughters of Lib
erty at the recent State session to
adopt a new policy whereby all men,
independent of a membership in the
Jr. o. u. A. M, of good moral charac.
ter. would be eligible to membership
in the order has caused considerable
favorable comment. Many believe that
men should not be allowed to join tho
women's auxiliary for the reason that
the organization was not promoter
with that aim in view. The Jr. o, U.
A. NJ. will not admit women to its
council chamber during an executive
session, and it is only fair that the
same rule should be applied to MEM
bership of men in women's lodges.
