ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

The New Patriotism.-Albert S.
Gray, M. D., had an interesting article
in the Chicago Daily News on the in
teresting and vital subject, Patriot
ism and Constipation"
Doc Gray says that war does not
annihilate, but disease does; and that
there are forty-odd millions of cases
of chronic constipation in this coun-
try.
He also defines patriotism la
Webster as devotion to the welfare
of ones country" and insists that the
welfare of ones country consists of
constructive rather than of destruc-
tive tendencies. '
The learned medic then goes on to
say that millions are needed here at
home for an educational campaign to
teach the 100000 sufferers that
constipation can be cured, but not by
drugs"
And he thinks true patriotism
would consist in the diffusion of the
knowledge necessary to raise every
individual above the danger of be-
coming a victim of misinformed and
dogmatic authority" and, l might
add, constipation.
I'm with the Doc on that. It's about
time for new definition of patriot
ism anyhow. Too many Europeans
have come to believe that patriotism
means to fight, bleed and die for ones
country. I'm for the new patriotism
that doesn't mean death on the bat
tlefield, but rather means devotion to
the welfare of ones country by edu-
eating the bowels and conserving
human health by scientific war on
constipation and all the human ills
that follow in it's awful wake.
If Vic Lawson will only make his
Chicago Daily News the official organ
of Doc Gray's new patriotism, by
golly I'll trail along with The Day

may walk the streets day after day,
looking for job. He may freeze to
death for want of shelter or starve to
death for want of food.
But the moment he commits a
crime he is arrested, housed, fed and
kept warm. He gets plenty to eat
and place to sleep-such as it is
where he won't freeze to death.
Society does that-you and l and
the rest of US. But we don't do it
until the jobless, penniless brother.
commits crime. So long as he re-.
mains honest we don't bother about
him, but let him shift for himself.
He may be honest. He may want,to
remain honest. He may stand much
suffering before finally he will resort
to crime to get food and lodging.
Why do we put premium on
crime? ........... .-..
If we must under certain conditions
provide for the penniless and jobless,
why not do it in time to make it pos
sible for them to remain honest? Why
wait until they commit crime
Why is it that we have crime"
waves in winter instead of in sum-
.mer? Isn't it because crime is more
necessary as means of self-preser-
walton in winter than in summer?
The law gives man a right to kill
another man in defense Of his own
life. What kick have we coming then
if jobless, penniless man steals to
save his life?
Would YOU steal if all other efforts
had failed, and your wife and chill
dren or you yourself, were in dire
danger of starvation or freezing to
death? r-.
Isn't the unemployment problem
the problem of the employed as well
as the problem of the unemployed?
Why is it we fight so hard to pun
ish crime and so feebly to prevent it

Cottonseod Industry,

The annual output OF the cotton
seed industry is In value close up to
the $500 100000 mark. Until recent
years the seed of the cotton plant, e1-
cept what was required for planting
purposes, was practically value' ,ss,
in the opinion Of the southern cotton
farmer. The seed was hauled away
to be dumped into the streams or left
to rot in fields. Today this is chang
ed and the once despised byproduct
OF the cotton fields Is steadily loom
iLs in importance. In the shape OF
oil for lubricant and table purposes,
meal for cattle food. cake and hulls
for fertilizer, food. etc. cotton seeds
are source OF enormous wealth TO
the southern country. The industry.
which only few years back was un-
known, Is now gold mine

The general opinion OF the Egyptian
fellaheen Is net fattering one. We
have generally looked upon him as a
beast Of burden whose only idea OF
retaliation for the blows showered
upon him is to find some one even
more AFFECT than himself and repeat
the castigation with interest. But
Lord Kitchener in his first report has
a good word to say for the fellah. He
speaks OF him as zone of the best and
most hard-worked types OF humanity"
SO we will willingly revise our esti
mate and stand corrected. Incidental
II Lord Kitchener tells us that the
population Of the Soudan Was about
nine millions before the Mahdist re
bellion, that after the rebellion 1t
was reduced to two millions, and that
1t is now over three millions. The
trifiing reduction of seven millions Of
people was due to war and starvation.
That Is to say, they were killed.

NEXT COUNT JULY 18th

The third count in the piano voting
contest will be made on July 18th, the
ballot box closing at O'Clock p. m.
There are great many people in
this vicinity who do not take The Trib-
une and it is among these that the most
successful work can be done. 1t is
every citizens duty to be subscriber
to his home paper, if he has the proper
sense of loyalty to his home town. No
medium contributes more to the pros-
perity of the community. The enter
prise of the citizens, their apathy ana
lethargy are equally reflected in the
local journal. Hence The Tribune is
really what the citizens of Mineral
Point choose to make it and hence it is
the duty of every citizen to subscribe
for it, to read it, and contribute to it's
columns. Bearing this in mind, the
contestants still have good field for
work to the end of the contest.
The next count will be made July l6.

Did it ever occur to you that the
most important question to you is
how much every farmer raises and how
many acres Of land he cultivates If a
farmer turns off only one beef steer
instead of twenty. your meat bill is go
ing to be high, yes, higher When the
farmer cultivates only 40 acres instead
Of 80, the consumer of food stuffs is
the loser.
What is this to the average citizen,
you ask ? The farmer expands his use
fulness in proportion as the small as
well as the large investor comes to his
aid with the cash to fertiize and culti-
vate, through the purchase Of mort
cages, which not only builds our rail-
roads. factories. telegraph and tele-
phone lines, but is today the greatest
force in providing the farmer with the
necessary cash with which to improve
his farming methods, increase has acre
age and turn off more cattle and pro
duce, thus giving the people more and
better food at lower prices.
The mortgage supplies the progress
sive man with the means, and in TURF
furnishes the investor with the very
best security as well as splendid re-
turn in interest.
There is no security on earth like the
earth itself.
