CILTIRE

From the New Orleans States
 We know a very fine woman who wor- ries because her husband isn't cultured.
 She loves him very much however-so this isn't a tale of woe Read it.
 Though he is kind. pleasant, honest, gentle, decent. hard working, true to her, she still deplores the fact that he lacks what she calls culture.
 He brings her bouquets of flowers, he buys ice cream for her, he turns in all his wages-but he isn't a highbrowl He can't play the guitar or the mandolin or the piano. He can't discuss contracon- ception, for he knows nothing about it. Neither did his mother, or he might not have been here to marry this fine woman.
 He doesn't know a blessed thing about high art; he doesn't tango; he hasn't a word to say about new thought; he's never up to snuff on the latest way to shake hands; his clothes don't hang a bit like Chowley's.
 He can't write a very good letter-but he can write her love letter when she absent.
 And after all-isn't that real culture?

THE NEGReyOTE

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The decision of the United States su- preme court in the grandfather suffrage clause cases from Oklahoma and Mary land is beginning to be understood; and the hopes aroused in some of the repub- | lican leaders that it meant restora- | ton of the suffrage to all negroes are rapidly disappearing as they learn the facts-that the grandfather cause mad practically nothing whatever to do with the negroes and neither added to nor reduced the number of negro voters, being designed to open the suffrage to illiterate whites. If all the grandfather clauses in the country meet with the same fate
 as those of Oklahoma and the Maryland towns, as seems inevitable, it will not in- crease the number of negroes voting by one. On the contrary, 1t will have the effect of disfranchising a few who enjoy the suffrage now; for as is not generally known, a number of negroes claim the ballot under the grandfather clause in Louisiana on the ground that their an oestors had voted in Massa chusetts or some other northern state prior to 1867. These negroes will be stricken from the permanent roll" together with those of illiterate whites born there whenever the decision of the supreme court goes into effect in Louisiana There is no political consolation in this for the republicans and they will not be able to revive any real
 politics on this account; which news will be received with equal satisfaction by the southern whites and by the negroes.
 The latter are indeed fortunate in not being showed to the front to make capital for republican politicians
 As a matter of fact, the decision in the Oklahoma case is not of the slightest political importance in the south. The question of negro suffrage has been set tled-and settled rightly-by the poll tax and in other ways and the grandfather clause cut little or no part in the settle ment; it merely helped to disarm any op- position from the illiterate whites There is no chance of any revival of it, of the adoption of any modification. As our Washington correspondent points out. there is no disposition on the part of southerners to adopt subterfuges to admit | illterate whites to the ballot. With our improved schools, 1t is felt that any
 white man who wishes to learn to read
 and write ought to be able to do so.

The cost of living is not high in New Yorks Ghetto. according to a writer in the Kansas City Star. Collars are washed there for penny apiece, as well as stock ings and handkerchiefs A shirt will be washed and pressed for not more than cents. A shine costs cents and there are swarms of urchins clamoring for the job. Two handkerehiefs can be had taken for a penny. A shave or haircut costs only a nickel. Fifteen cents is all you will be charged for having a suit of clothes pressed and two newspapers can be bought for l cent. Prices in the stores are also very low. Straw hats, claimed to be worth s1.50, are sold for 50 cents, there is demand for socks at cents a pair and 15-cent ties are on sale everywhere. Foodstuffs are surprisingly cheap. Two ats cents a pound. Meat, fruit, bread and butter cost little more than the pro- verbal song Yet these low prices in the Ghetto mean terrible struggle for ex-
 stence. as the boy who shines your shoes for 2 cents can only make 4 or $5 a week by long hours of toll and loss of sleep. Similarly. the peddlers have to make many sales before their profits amount to S1. a day. Underfeeding is common, being par ticularly noticeable among the children. Long hours, low pay and acute discom- fort make life in the Ghetto far from pleasant and If the necessities were not cheap they could not be bought at all.

THE WHITE GULLs

From the Russian of Fedor Firsky The white gulls dip and wheel Over waters gray like steel.
 The white gulls call and cry
 As they spread their wings and fly The white gulls sink to rest 7 On the tides slow heaving breast Souls of men that turn and wheel Over waters cold as steel.
 Souls of men that call and cry As they know not where to fly. Souls of men that sink to rest On an all receiving breast

The Value of Farmers Institutes


 In many of the counties of northern Alabama crop diversification has been the practice all along, and as a result they did not feel the hard times of last fall, notwithstanding the fact that a considerable amount of cotton was raised.
 The diversification idea is now strongly impressed upon the farmers in all parts of the state and the move ment will grow In this connection it is of interest to observe that those counties where farmers institutes have been held regularly and where the attendance has been large, have made the greatest progress in agricul- ture
 The institutes naturally promote crop diversification and the farm com mittee of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce is doing well to take up the matter and inaugurate an ex- tensive institute system in Jeffer- son county. Every institute means an advance in economic farming.

Alabama Hay

The farmers of the black belt this year have grown a great crop of all falfa and Johnson grass" remarked Hubert Norwood of Birmingham, and large quantities of this forage are be- Ing shipped here.
 The harvest was. of course hindered by the long rainy spell, which was felt in this section. but now that things are drying out alfalfa is be- ing harvested. baled and placed in cars for shipment to this district My company has occasion to handle the Alabama product in car lots and we find that the demand here is excel lent Our experience would indicate that it is better In quality than that grown by the western ranchers. This is also a profitable crop for the southern farmer to produce"
