The Cotton Gold Pool.

New Yorks willingness to raise $5ooooooo as its
proportion of the SI5ooooooo gold pool to aid the
Southern cotton planters should assure the success
of the movement The rest of the country is ex-
pected to respond and it probably will be but few
days before the requisite amount is available. This
method of relieving the situation, suggested by
Festus J. Wade, of St Louis is the only feasible
The idea of government assistance for cotton is
as repugnant to the tenets of Democracy as any
proposition that could be advanced Cotton does
suffer alone by the Any individual stockholder
in corporation has as much right to have the gov
eminent assume his losses as the holder of cotton.
As concrete example the expectation of copper
has decreased to such extent by reason of the war
that the leading copper. company yesterday was
forced to cut its regular dividend two-thrds. The
same is true of many other industries If the gov
ernment assumes the obligations of financing in
dustry it, in duty bound would be forced to take a
similar position with the remainder.
The attitude assumed by the Secretary of the
Treasury is manifesty the proper one, and should
the President veto any having its indirect
object the government purchase of the cotton crop,
such action would be based on sound logic and a
conception of public duty.
The gold pool plan is founded on a business prin-
ciple, and deserves More important STILL it
gives the cotton grower absolute independence
something he would not have if he accepted govern
ment aid

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.-Bad
temper, feminine Mysteries, a
"catty" disposition, the yellow
streak" the inclination to be a
bully-all these more or less ul-
complimentary characteristics of
the folks you know can be cured
by the manly, and now womanly,
art of self-defense.
No less an authority than De-
witt Van Court, the veteran in
structor of boxing at the Los An-
eeles Athletic club and trainer of
champions, has staked his reputa-
ton by making the assertion.
There is nothing" says Van
Court, "that will help every mem-
Der of the family in all kinds Of
ways like boxing. It's the best
method known.to change a mans
disposition for the better. And it's
equally as good for girls and
women. 1t teaches them how 10
defend themselves from possible
insult or attack; makes the ma
tron look years younger, and in a
short time eliminates the DISPOSE
tlon toward Mysteries.
After taking a little punish
ment at boxing the average wom-
an feels herself superior to 'catty'
gossip. She Is secure in the
knowledge that IL her husband
ever falls for the Establishments
of another woman she can make
the interloper forget all about
flirting by one well-directed
punch.
1.-THE boxer learns to keep his
head every minute and to keep his
temper safely locked up.
"And not even lawn tennis is a
milder game than boxing. Boxers
never get very deep into the
dumps. They're never suicides.
People talk about wiping out box
ing. 1t can't be done-boxing
has too many friends, and rightly
SO. Prize fights may go every
where, but boxing never!"
