Some cotton is beginning to go
abroad. We find in the Record the
statement that 1850 bales went out
from the port of Philadelphia on
the 10Th inst. Between the 1st and
the 18Th New York exported 5576
bales. From the 18th to the 10Th
Galveston exported 81 ,215 bales,
the first shipments from that port
since the outbreak of the war.
Austrian cotton spinners are try
ing to get cotton from the United
States through Italy. Austria
might import through Trieste or
Fiume, but it may be thought that
the danger of capture is too great.
SILL as the ports are not blockad-
ed, it would seem as though a
Dutch or Danish or Greek steamer
shouldbe able to deliver the cotton.
Italy has prohibited the export of
cotton, but the Austrian splnners
hope that it will consent to the
transit of cotton to Austrian mills.
Unfortunately for them, the Itali-
ans are not deeply concerned over
idleness and suffering in Austria.

Editors Are Human

We often wonder il it has ever
occurred to some people that edi-
tors are human, and not super
beings gifted with second sight.
An editor is constantly on the
hunt for news Of interest to the
people who read and pay for his
paper, and he never Intentionally
omits an article of any import
ance. The success of his paper
depends upon his impartiality in
this respect.
And yet often some person con-
ceiVes the erroneous idea that
the editor has purposely left out
some item concerning them CT
their families.
Has it ever occurred to them
that the editor may not have
heard Of that palticuIar item, al
though he searched diligently in
his efforts to secure all of the
news.
There is a very effective rene
dy for these insulated but mad
vertent omissions. The next
time you have a piece Of news
concerning yourself, or your
family, or your neighbors, or of
your community, give 1t to the
editor yourself, or phone or write
it in to him, and do not depend
upon others to do it. They may
be more interested in affairs on
their own side of the fence.
The editor will thank you for
your thoughtfulness in enabling
him to secure news that will add
to the value of his paper and
make it of interest to all of the
people, for that is his mission in
life.
He is human, as we'll as you.

This amendment should be defeat

useless to "clutter up" the ballot with

SOW WHEAT LATE
AND ESCAPE THE FLY
BY l.. Haseman.

With the arrival of the recent rains,
preparations are being made, in some
esctons Of the state, for wheat sowing
and there is the danger that some will
SOW too early. With the enormous
Hessian fly injury still fresh in mind
and the great danger that this will
be repeated on the next crop of wheat,
farmers can we'll afford to take every
possible precaution to prevent it. The
following suggestions are offered by
the Missouri Agricultural College as
a partial solution of the problem:
The majority of the Hessian flies
are still in the resting or flax-seed
stage in the wheat stubblc which has
not been destroyed by blowing under
or burning. From this stubble the
ginged fly will soon come out to de-
post eggs on volunteer or early sown
wheat. Where the stubble has all
been plowed under and the ground
thoroughly worked over in an entire
community, there should be les dan
ger from the fly but the wheat should
be sown late even where such meas
ures have been taken. Where the
stubble has not yet been destroyed
it should be plowed under at once ant
the ground worked. Keep down al
wheat plants until it is time for the
regular crop to come on. In the mort
arn part wheat sown about the frs
IF October will escape most Of tn
fly injury in the fall, and in tn
Iouthern part wheat sown about tn

CONCERNING CONSTI-
TUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Jefferson City, Sept, l2.--Thc sixth
70 the series Of arguments on the mca
sures TO be submitted to vote at the
coming election was today issued by
Secretary Of State Cornelius Roach,
Those wishing to vote intelligently
on Amendments Seven and Eight
should preserve this article. The sole
purpose in giving these arguments Is
to furnish the voter information, and
the Secretary of State is in no way re-
sponsible for assertions made on
either side of any subject discussed.
The champions Of Amendment No.
7 give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
This amendment will enable the
State Legislature to pass bill which
will pension the worthy blind Other
States are doing this, and it has been
proven that the small cost to the
State is more than made up in the fact
that the small allowance helps them
to pay guides to assist in going to
work they are qualified to do. 1t
does not mean maintain them in lux
nrious idleness, but gives them a min
imum income that enables them to
help them selves,
The movement has been endorsed
by the CentralTrades and Labor I'm
ions, the Conference OF Charities and
Corrections, and many othtr leading
organizations.
If through no cause of your own,
you were to become suddenly blind,
Suppose you were dependent on your
income, as blind people usually are,
what kind of living could you earn?
1 believe, if you will answer these
questions in your mind, you will read
lily understand the need of your vote
and support in this movement.
Opposing Argument
The reasons given by the oppon-
ents of Amendment No. 7, why it
should be voted down, are as follows:
This amendment should not be adj
opted because it is paternalstic The
government has discharged It's duty
when it guarantees peace. liberty
and equal opportunity to all alike.
A system of pensions has always
proved a bad thing, for as soon as
one class is pensioned another APP
plies. We hear of pensions for sold
iers, for police, for firemen, for
preachers, for teachers, and so on.
Where will it all end? If such a
proposition as this carries, our chill
dren and grandchildren will be pay
pensions for all kinds and classes of
people without number, thus ultimate
~ taxing the people into poverty and
the government into bankruptcy. A
pension system is death to self-re-
lance. Rob humanity of its self re-
lance and there all progress ends.
The champions of Amendment No,
8 give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
This amendment now affects Kan
sas City alone. Sec. 16, Art. .. of
the Constitution, written in 1875, re-
kuires Kansas City to publish "A pro
