Six From South Here in Per-
son, Four Send
Delegates.
EXECUTIVE committee
is DRAWING UP PLAN
Meets Again Tonight to Devise
Means to Prevent Crop Over
production Next Year.

The governors of six of the cotton
growing states and representatives ap-
pointed by the governors of four other
states met today with the senators and
representatives in Congress from the
cotton states to devise ways and means
of aiding the cotton producers in the
European war. The meeting was held
in the finance committee room in the
Senate Office building
An executive committee consisting of
the governors and the representatives
OF governors and senator and repre-
sentative from each of the cotton states
was appointed to draw up a plan and
instructed to report back to the con-
ference at o'clock tonight. The ex-
ecutive committee will meet at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon.
The governors attending the meeting
were Gov. Emmet ONeal of Alabama.
Gov. Parke NJ. Trammell of Florida.
Gov. John Marshall Slaton of Georgia.
Gov. Luther E. Hall of Louisiana, Gov.
Lee Cruce of Oklahoma and Gov. Henry
c; Stuart Of Virginia Representatives
OF governors were Maj. W. A. Graham
of North Carolina. F. T. Peck, COM
missioner of agriculture Of Tennessee;
W. A. -Stuckey of South Carolina and
Robert l.. Henry OF
Texas.
One of the main objects of the con-
ference is to adopt plan for the cur
tailment of the production Of cotton
next year. SO that the markets will not
be flooded and prices forced to almost
nothing. Some of the Representatives
of the cotton growing states desire
federal legislation to bring about the
curtailment, while others believe it
should be accomplished through action
of the states themselves.
Attorney General Investigating.
Attorney General Gregory today be-
gan an investigation OF complaints
that a combination in violation of the
Sherman law has depressed the price
of cotton seed. According to reports
brought to the department. seed deal
ers are now paying about one-half
the price paid for cotton seed in for
mer years.

LANDSCAPE PAINTER
HOME FROM ITALY
Miss Bertha E. Perrie Tells of Visit
ing Naples Harbor Under Eye
of Police and Citizens.

Miss Bertha E. Perrie. well known in
landscape painting and for some years
one of the instructors in the Corcoran
Art School here, has very recently re-
turned to the city from New York.
where. a few days ago. she arrived
from Europe on the Cunard liner Car
pathia.
Miss Perrie, in company with Misses
Thora NJ. and Katherine Riley, also
of Washington, was staying at a
small town near Florence. italy, when
the news of the great European con-
fict came. and shortly afterward they
went to Florence. The United States
consul at that city strongly advised
the party to go to Naples. and, follow
ing his. advice, they did SO, and after
a wait Of some days were enabled to
obtain steerage accommodations. on the
Carpathia.
During her enforced stay in that sea-
port Miss Perrie asked permission to
vendr of her visit. One military officer
promptly ordered her to cease such
work. Another official. however, with
sufficient artistic perception to see that
was neither intended nor suitable for
future reference on the part of some
hostile government, allowed her to pro-
ceed.
Watched by Policemen.
Nevertheless, Miss Perrie states, she
was closely watched both by policemen
and citizens while she worked. curious
to see If she were going to incorporate
into her picture the big fort which was
within her line Of vision.
Steerage accommodations on the Car
pathia proved SO uninviting that Miss
Perrie slept on deck during the home
ward voyage. Having no suitable place
to keep her personal effects. she was
compelled to hide them here and there,
In cubby holes on various parts Of the
vessel, in lifeboats, etc, and. owing to
others being in the same predicament,
longings, thus hidden, often moved.
When rain made it too cold to sleep on
the decks, she said, many women
sought sleep in corridors or on dining
room tables. The Statue Of Liberty was
greeted as the liner gltded past

It May Be Destiny.

The News Scimitar has often
 referred to the United States as
 the worlds school master,
 whose mission it is to teach the nations and peoples of the world liberty, civilization, religion and spirituality. We have done much along these lines in vari- ous parts of the world, as we'll as at home, where, by our skill in alchemy and the use of the melting pot, we have transmit ed the baser metals of ignorance and cringing or sullen submis- sion to oppression into the pure gold of American citizenship, that holds up it's head, fearless

absorbed and taken out of the hands of the people. Restora- tion was impossible, excepting by force through revolution, be- cause the masses were held in slavery. Diaz, backed by the powerful influences, riveted the Ishackles firmly on the helpless people, and ruled for years. Ma dero, although of large land owning family, was dreammer and a philanthropist, tender of heart and anxious to see his peo- Iple uplifted from the Serbonian darkness of poverty and ignor- ance, reused the masses with a war cry which meant the res toration of the lands to the peo- ple in small farms, and the dis appearance of the farflung ranches, spreading haciendas and vast estates, and put Dlaz to flight. But Madero in his hour of victory could not make good. He could not carry out his promise or vindicate his preachments. He could not re- store to the people the lands as he had intended to do. Land lordism and the ruling class were too strong for him. They are likely to be too strong for anyone, be he Villa, Carranza or Huerta. Landlordism is too strongly entrenched.
 But Gods justice must be done sooner or later. His mills grind slowly, but they grind eX- ceedingly small. The United States may be a chosen instru- ment to do what cannot be done otherwise. We have the power, the opportunity, the geographl- cal location. To rescue a na- tion from thralldom would be an act worthy of us. It would be 9 fulfillment of our manifest des- tiny. It would be carrying on the work that we have begun.
 And when the Mexican people realize our purpose, and what we seek to do, they will welcome us with open arms, and join us in our labors and assist us i'll rearing an edifce that will be a home and a shelter and not a prison to them.-Memphis News Scimitar.

and confident, and looks the whole world in the face with dignifed composure. We have solved our own problems, and we have been disposed to let other people solve theirs; but it may be that destiny has cut out for use the task of reorgan- izing the economic and to some extent the political structure of Mexico, our nearest sister to the south of us.
 Say what we will, the trouble in Mexico is economic in the last analysis. Political, religious and ethnological anomalies and ab- normities are merely results. The land question is at the bot tom of all the trouble. It is not only a play of rhetoric, but an economic fact, that the land of a country belongs to the peo- ole of that country, because God their common Father, gave it to them; when this apothegm is not adopted in practice there can be 10 prosperity among the masses.
 Jn Mexico the people are land- less. They are also impoverish- ed and ignorant. Deprived of their patrimony, they are thrit- less and take no interest in things. With them sufficient unto the day is the evil or the good thereof. They look no fur ther ahead. Of the 15,000,000 souls in the republic only one- fifth, or 3,000,000 can read or write. For the most part the rest are peons, modern Gibeon- ties, who for centuries have been hewers of wood and draw CTS of water for the ruling class. They may be working to pay debts contracted by their forefathers or themselves. They are aliens in their native land. The surface of the earth which should be theirs, to cultivate, and the wealth that is stored in
 the mines, have been taken over
 by the favored few. Hearst,
 with his million acres, and Gen
 Harrison Grey Otis with his
 empire, are two conspicuous ex'
 amples. Men in authority, who
 had no right to do so, granted
