NOT COTTON THIEVES.
Lake Charles American Press:

Lake Charles American Press:
1t is queer what relics of wartime
prejudice and injustice still cling to
our laws. During the war cotton be-
longing to planters along the Red river
was captured and sold by the federal
government. The government has for
many years been willing that this
money should be paid to the original
owners of the cotton, but it has tahsa
Congressman Watkins six years to get
a bill through the House relieving the
claimants for this money from the ne
cessity of proving that they or the
original owners of the cotton had been
loyal to the government during the
war Prejudice and ill-feeling put the
provision in the law in the first place
No one of common sense could or
would expect Louisiana planter to
be loyal" during the war, especially
to government that destroyed and
confiscated property. The people Of
the United States would have abro-
gated such requirement thirty years
ago. They do not care to be placed in
the attitude of being cotton thieves. In
his private capacity, every congress
man in the past decade would prob
ably have voted for its abrogation; but
many men seem to lose their common
sense when they are elected to serve
the people, or gan an entirely errone-
Gus idea of what their constituents
want.

FARMERS ORGANIZING
TO SECURE EQUITY

! Money, and not large crops, is the
measure of success in farming. What
benefits it the farmer II he is ever so
successful in producing if he must sell
his crops at Improbable prices?
Farmers have learned how to pro-
duce two ears of corn, two potatoes,
two bolls of cotton, two apples, ETC.,
where only one grew before. But often
doubling the crop halves the profits, or
destroys it entirely. What farmers
want to learn now is how to put two
dollars in their pockets where only
one went before.
A Problem of Distribution.
Grain, and potatoes, and vegetables.
and fruit, and cotton, are raised in GER
tain parts of the country, but wanted
for consumption in other parts, or in
foreign countries.
1t is clear then, that there is prob.
lem OF bringing the supply of farm
products and the demand for them to-
gether. Before this time this has been
done by a system over which farmers
had no control. The farmer raised all
the necessaries of life-did all the hard
work-and then turned them over to
another set of people to market them
the easy work. And, strange to say,
the farmers have always permitted
this other set of people to make the
prices and state the terms on which
the stuff would be handled.
MddIemen are Necessary.
We are not against necessary mid
dlemen, but we are against the pres
ent marketing system which is often
as bad for the middlemen as for the
producers, and positively is mainly re-
sponsible for the high cost of living.
Honest handlers of farm produce will
help farmers to improve the market
ing system when they understand.
So the problem is to build national
marketing machine that will get re-
port of all the supply and where 1t is,
and a report of all the demand and
where it is, and with one central in.
telligence and directing power send
the supply straight to the demand.
The farmer reports his crops to his
local clearing house; the local clearing
house reports to the county or district
clearing house, and the county or dis.
trict clearing house reports to the ma
tional clearing house, which is in daily
communication with all the great mar.
kets. The national clearing house then
directs the marketing. Pending the
organization of the county or district
clearing house the local clearing house
reports to the national.

Do not ask them how they feel. 1t
is an insult to them, for if they felt
well they would not be sick, and it is
also a reflection on your intelligence,
for if you would look around a little
you would be- able to see how they
feel. Be of some service and cheer (if
possible) and get out. There is time
later when folks need company, but
sickness is essentially nonsocial oc-

when you help them, but to beat them
