THE ONLY REAL REFORMER.

The real statesman is the only real
reformer. What we commonly know as
seldom become statesmen. The
reformer is a man Of one idea, and is neces-
rily narrow and egotistic. His one paDacea
is a cure for all ills, and he gives considera-
ton to nothing else.
Our land is prolific of reformers and pol
iticians and strangely barren Of statesmen.
The difference between the two classes is
strongly marked. The politician follows,
the statesman leads. The. one is the guide,
philosopher and friend of humanity. the
other is the servant.
The fact that WI have our government
reduced to writing in a few simple rules
makes it easy for a common man to aid in
its administration. If he is careful to study
the passions and p%rejudices of his fellow
citizens and always to utter with intense
solemnity the platitudes of popular truths,
he can claim any office and so serve his con-
stituents as to live beloved and die lamented.
With the statesman the task is more
difficult. He must not lead so far in ad-
vance as to be lost sight of, nor lead too
directly in the direction of which the popu-
lar mind may not approve.
The man of all time, in our country, who
combined the shrewdness of the politician
with the directing powers Of craftsmanship
was Abraham Lincoln.
There are many who correctly think
Woodrow Wilson is a close second.
Lincoln knew and Wilson knows public
feeling to a nicely. But both have managed
to keep just far enough in advance OF it tc
lead and guide it.

THE TRI-STATE FAIR.

Memphis is putting on her best bib and
tucker to welcome thousands Of visitors to
the great Tri-State Fair which opens Sept.
26th, and when the crowds arrive they will
find the city gaily decked out in many col
ored buntings and wearing a general festive
appearance.
Complete in every department the Fair
this year will be bigger than ever. The
Live Stock Show will be the best ever held
in the South. The hundred other features
will be in keeping with this high scale.
The Tri-State has in the past few years
developed into one of the best fairs in the
entire country.
The amusement features this year have
been we'll attended to and a greater variety
than ever will be presented. There will be
four nights Of horse-show, two days of au-
tomobile racing, harness racing every after
noon, a big midway and a half dozen free
acts-in other words something doing
every minute"
The Fair will last ten days, closing Oct.
5. Reduced rates are being given on all
railroads and a large crowd is expected tc
attend from this section of the Delta.

The American people have implicit faith
in President Wilson's diplomacy. II ne
should find it necessary to ask for the recall
of German ambassadors, diplomats, etc., in
this country, he will find behind him prac-
tically an undivided nation.
the president has been forbearing; he
has been forgiving, but he has been stern
and determined, and We truly believe
whatever he may do will be done with a
heart fuK of love for his country. President
Wilson is a man of iron nerve, Christian for
titude, unrelenting determination, and we
believe most genuinely that he will anchor
the ship of state in those parts which will
bring about conditions best for America and
American people. Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike are pinning their faith to Wood
row Wilson, the greatest president this
country has had in half a century.
The honesty of Woodrow Wilson is as
pretty as a June sunset. The integrity OF
Woodrow Wilson is as substantial as the
foundation of the Rockies. His mind is q
master mind. He is guiding the ship OF
state through stormy seas with a hand that
is as steady and as unerring as the trailing
starlight.

THE BOIL WEEVIL IN GEORGIA.

What is called an unusual advance Of
the boil weevil into Georgia has raised an
unusual cutlery, and brought forth a lot Of
familiar foolish talk, such as establishing a
non-cotton growing zone. In response to a
panicky Macedonian cry for help the agrl-
cultural bureau has, according to the press
dispatches, ordered a large force of demon
~strators and authorities to the field of fright,
says the Vicksburg Herald of the 18th inst.
Experts are good to a certain extent. While
they teach nothing more than the lesson Of
common farming knowledge, they supply
encouragement. But in their boil weevil
fight cotton growers of the Atlantic states
need not expect to be saved from the hard
lines of those of the valley. The boil weevil
is a scourge in spite of all the rules and les
sons of experience. Nothing avails against
it except the application of cultural plant
ing rules which all can be, and few are,
guided by. Thorough preparation of soil,
early planting and good cultivation, with
seed selection, are about all the available
weapons against boil weevil destruction,
and the degree Of success is dependent,
after all, on weather and latitude.

The editor of the esteemed Vicksbur

The editor Of the esteemed Vicksburg
Herald very pertinently says that ssthe
course of the cotton market is indicating
the wisdom of those who defeated the prop
osition for an extreme cotton acreage reduc-
ton. It is not too much that but for for

geese of that bunch Of politico economists
who went to Texas a year ago to persuade
those of Mississippi in cutting out cotton for
1915. The cotton growers were governed
by the common sense Of the situation-re-
duction of cotton acreage, to be made up by
a conservative increase in food products.
That policy of Investigation has been at

Sad days were those for our forefathers
when American money was so raggedy and
cheap that a morning bracer left no change
in a 1O-spot.
But plenty of men and women can recall
the premium on gold during our civil war.
Our northern money was then far more de
preciated than that Of any beligerent in Eu-
rope now.
Considering the stupendous cost Of the
present war which England has undertaken
to finance for her allies, the remarkable
thing is not the 6 or 8 per cent. shrinkage in
her money, but its amazing stability.
