THE COTTON POOL.

To start a great pool Of ready mon
ey with which to relieve the cotton
situation appears the most sensible
move yet suggested.
II is not preaching and legislation
that the farmers of the south require
so much as cash.
After years toll they find them
selves embarrassed, not because crops
have been lost, but because the mar
ket is temporarily curtailed.
In the meantime, they need money
on which to live through the winter.
The cotton, already harvested to a
great extent, is good security, be-
cause 1t is imperishable and because
II is an obvious conclusion that upon
the cessation of hostilities abroad the
market will again become normal.
One can neither wear nor eat raw
cotton, however, and to relieve the
farmers dependent upon II some
means must be devised whereby II
can be either hypothecated or sold fol-
real money.
Manifestly, the essential thing at
this time is to make an adequate sup
ply of cash available.
Legislation cannot hope to accomp
fish this, though legislation might ia
cilitate and encourage it.
If S150,O00,00O can be accumulated
and applied to cotton loans there Is
little doubt that it will remedy the
principal difficulties in which south
ern farmers find themselves.-Hous

COTTON DROPS 4 CENTS
IN THIRTY DAYS,

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 1O.-The
United States department of agricul
ture has just completed a report
showing the average price paid for
cotton in the fourteen states which
produce the staple. The price In
only two states is lower than In Tex
as. According to the report, the Tex
as price is S.3 cents; in Oklahoma :
cents and Georgia 10 cents per pound
The average for the entire nation Is
ST. cents per pound.
During the past thirty days the
condition OF the ungathered portion Of
the Texas crop has improved
IS per cent, but the price pei
pound has decreased 81 cents. II
the present price prevails and the
yield is the same as that of last yeai
which is probable, the farmers Of Tex
as will secure sSO,OOOOOO less for this
years crop than was paid for the
1913 production.

sAcREDNEss OF MARRIAGE DE
BASED.

Another matter of hidden import
and meaning has been brought to
light in connection with the present
war. is the debasing OF the sanctity Of
marriage and is outlined in the follow.
ing comment:
mot long since, says the Chicago
Herald, marriage was holy thing,
not to be lightly entered into in the
sight of God and man. 1t was con.
tract involving responsibilities that
could not be avoided. The contempt
rary declaims forcefully against mar
riage as a war measure, saying:
Nov war is reducing it to its lowest
terms. 1t is becoming a mere Incl
dent Of patriotism. II is not love,
but a matter OF state business. II is
becoming a method by which the ma.
lions, before sending their physically
best men to the front, may do some.
thing to keep up the standards of the
coming generations. In casting up
the crimes of war, let us not forget
the tendency of this latest one to de-
base the high ideal of marriage. What
else does the letter of the archbishop
of Canterbury, urging reduction in
the marriage license fee for depart
ing soldiers and sailors, mean? What
else does the wholesale encourage
ment of marriage of soldiers and sail
ors reported from Germany, France
and Austria betoken? These men are
going away Vast numbers win never

he could sell it to the best advantage.

This signal enlargement of the med

late in the day, of a formal acceptance
by General Carranza, chief of the
Constitutiopalist forces, of the prin-
ciple of mediation, as proposed by
the ambassadors from Argentine and

WAR ON CHOLERA
Dean Carlyle Goes to Washington to
Confer With Officials

Dean w. L. Carlyle of the Univer
sity Of Idaho, now en- route to Wash
ington, is to have a conference with
the secretary of agriculture and CHIEF
Of the bureau Of animal industry
within the next few days, to discuss
plans for fighting and Graduating hog
cholera in Idaho Congress recently
appropriated 100000 to enable the
department to carry on an extern
sive campaign against hog cholera,
and the department promised Senator
Brady to make liberal allowance
from this fund for expenditure in
Idaho. After this promise was given
the senator urged that Dean Carlyle
be brought to Washington to consult
with the department as to its plan of
operations in Idaho, as Carlyle is
better informed than any other person
in Idaho as to the situation which
prevails and the spread of the disease
throughout the state. The depart
ment in outlining its work in Idaho
will largely follow the suggestions
made by Professor Carlyle.
"The department is handling the
hog cholera work in three divisions:
"A Experiments to demonstrate
the practicablity of Graduating hog
cholera from selected sections of the
country.
"B Supervision of private, and
where necessary, state serum plants,
so as to protect farmers against the
use of spurious and dangerous seru.ns
&C. Demonstrational and education
al work among farmer in cooperation
with the state in order to bring about |
a better understanding of the disease
and approved methods of combating
it.
The department permits each state
to make its own choice as to which
division the work in that particular
state shall be carried along.

: Ier whose name has become a byworc
for brigandage and savagery.
It is "naif" Of him to say, in a mo-
ment of convivial frankness, that il
war came Mexico would invade the
United States. 1t was "naif" to make
an appointment with Mr.. Lind, Pres
ident Wilson's unofficial envoy, and
not to keep it, When the United
States suggested that he should take
notice of a particularly horrible out
rage and limited that the perpetrators
might be found among a certain
group of soldiers, it was equally
"naif" Of President Huerta to offer
to shoot them all without delayl
Wanting in tact, too, was his getting
rid Of congress by packing members
who opposed him into tramway cars
and carrying them off to Jail.
Mexico never has had more than
the forms of constitutional govern
ment, and President Huerta is rough
and ready old fighter who has no re-
spect for form. He much prefers liv-
ing in a small suburban bungalow to
wandering through the vast halls and
salons Of his official residence. He
would rather sit with a few friends
in cafe than entertain high society
at formal dinner parties. When ne
comes across knot he cuts it. TO
unite it would take too long. When
few plain words are sufficient to
explain his meaning he finds circum-
locution tedious. A story is told Of
his giving instructions for the reply |
that was made to Mr. Lind's first
note. what shall | tell him 2" asked
a perplexed foreign minister. "Tcll
him to go to the devil" the president
is said to have answered; "but put it
in diplomatic language" he added
soothingly when he saw the look of
dismay on the unfortunate minister's
face. The tale may not be literally
true, but it is typical Of the man. The
of the barrack room in the
council chamber--to that incongruity
are attributable both his weakness '
md his strength.
To discover the true nature of this s
nan, who has become so prominent

bers Of deputies on the after
noon of November 20, 1918
there stepped lightly, will
hand appraised to acknowledge the
cheers which greeted him, tall
thickly built soldier whose briskness
belied his SO years.
He wore evening dress, as did all
the members of parliament. The only
distinction which set him apart from
the rest was a broad sash of the
Mexican national eolors (red, green
and white) across his shirt front.
His dome-like skull CLEANED bald un-
der the light. Close cropped gray
hair covered back and sides. His
complexion was dark, but 1t was only
when one noticed the hand against
the white shirt cuff that one realized
he was not Of European blood.
Clearly his sight was very weak;
he added to the spectacles he wore
another pair before he began to read
his message to the new congress.
Yet, unlike those of most short-sight-
ed people, his eyes were unusually
bright. They roved hither and thith-
err like the eyes Of bird, saving
square and logged face from the re-
proach Of heaviness.
Such, in outward appearance, Isl
President Victoriano Huerta, the man
whose doings have riveted the at
tentiou of the world for year past.
II you share the official opinion he is
a criminal, a absolute adventurer;
in Mexican phrase "sin verguenza,
a man without shame. BY his own
account he is patriot who only
clings TO Office because no other Mex
lean is strong enough to crush the
revolution. Up TO November, 1913,
a great many Mexicans, with nearly
all the foreigners in Mexico, Endorsed
that view. After that the tide began
TO turn against him.
A Mexican who, under President
Porfrio Diaz, was very highly placed,
said TO me-
eIf Huerta had any European
blood in him one would be forced to
believe that he was lineal descend
ant Of Nero and Caligula.' i
While there seemed 10 be a chance !
of his restoring peace his less desir- {
able qualities were CLOSED over. Now
that the revolution has gained ground t
now that he has heavily increased tax {
