Read what those who know say
of the Young mans opportunity
with Cotton Grading and CHASING
properly mastered. The wealth
and independence in the South Is
i'll It's cotton. Let every young
man better prepare to get the benefit
Of this independence and wealth.
Tyler, Texas, May 6, 1915.
TYLER Commercial College,
Cotton Chasing Department.
Tyler, Texas.
/ Gentlemen;
had the pleasure of visiting
your cotton CHASING class and OBJ
served the work you were doing.
Having had several years of eXpe-
rience in the cotton business; both
as buyer and seller, l believe l am
some what a Judge, and in my
opinion you have a very complete
department.
You have every facility to intelll-
gently instruct i'll the work, and
10 young man can find more op-
perfume time and a more practical
place than i'll your institution.
Expressing my opinion further,
/ believe this department is more
practical and far reaching in its
effects than any other department
of your great school, and every
young man owes it to himself to
take advantage of the opportunity
to thoroughly equip himself along
this line.
Yours very truly,
ROBT ALLEN.
Mr.. S. Bruck, manager of the
large Mayer q Schmidt depart
ment store remarked to the presid-
ent of the Tyler Commercial Col
lege:
In putting in your cotton grad
ing and CHASING department you
are doing one of the greatest things
for this country that could have
been done"
Tyler, Texas, May E, 1915.
During the year of 1913 studied
the CHASING of cotton at the Ann.
College of Texas, finishing the
work in the early part of 1914. l
liked the work so we'll that l de-
cided after returning to my home
to take a review in the Tyler Com
mercial, College, Cotton Depart
ment, which l did, and It gives
ne pleasure to say find their
teaching more efficient and salts
factory in every wav. Their course
of instruction is much more COM
plete, and i'll my opinion, covers
all the ground thoroughly.

Woman Is Ruler Over All.

Woman Is Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
Of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
In shame; clinging to its motherly
folds. tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood. Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar-
ture, he has lived IN vain. Why this
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it IN his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the most powerful political bosses in
the country. that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
mother was noted warrior and her
name terror to the enemy? Whittier
are We drifting and where will we
land?
God Save Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation.
I follow the pillow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
Of the soil; my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
perhaps | am a little old-fashioned,
but | believe there is more moral in
tluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. AS
an agency for morality, ! wouldn't
give my good old mothers home
made gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and bylaws in the world.
AS a power for purifying society.
wouldn't give one prayer of my sanity
mother for all the women's votes in
Christendom. AS an agency for good
government, / wouldn't give the plea
Of a mothers heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of Office in the land.
There Is more power in the smile
Of woman than in an act Of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family OF
laughing children than in the cab
met of the president of the United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever Semain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad Why add
to a statute book, already grooming
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry Of woman? If We never had a
chance to vote again in lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or
deal, but without home. civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out OF Congress
and forbid that women become step
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.

The first public library in the
United States devoted exclusively
to the use of the negro race was
opened and dedicated at New Or
leans on Oct. "a. The building,
donated by Andrew Carnegie,
cost S25 900 and the city of New
Orleans donated the site and will
maintain the library. The cere-
monies were attended by large
number of city and state officials,
many leading white citizens and
educators of New Orleans and
prominent negroes who expressed
their appreciation to the Southern
community, first in America to
aid the negro with a library of

Orange Day November 10.

All Louisianians are asked tc
observe "Orange Day" on Nov.
EN- Der 10, when. at New Orleans
the second annual celebration OF
the Louisiana citrus fruit industry
will be observed. An unusual
feature will be the appearance in
New Orleans on that date OF the
historic Liberty Bell" enroute
from the San Francisco EXPOSE
ton back to it's resting place in
Philadelphia. 1t is remarkable
fact that the great hurricane OF
Sept. 90 sweeping the orange belt.
did practically no damage to the
trees. The great 5000 acre tract
of the New Orleans Lake Shore
Land Company. on lake Pont-
chartrain, is destined to be the
center of the industry in the state
where many men of means, some
of them millionaires. have bought
bungalows in the midst of orange
groves that they may make New
Orleans their winter homes and
put their riches into increasing
the output and quality of Louisi-
ana's orange crop. The New Or
leans Association of Commerce is
heading the movement in cooper
alton with the orange growers
and there will be auto parades,
prizes and oranges distributed by
the thousands.

Southern Pacific Buys And Charters
More Ships.

Chartering six steamships and
signing contracts for the building
of two large new freighters the
Southern Pacific Company an
nounced that this action was due
partly to the closing of the Pana-
ma Canal and partly to a revival
in the Interstate commerce the
latter demanding permanent
freight carrying increases. The
reawakening of the Louisiana
lumber industry also has had
distinct effect upon overseas COM
merce and as a result q firm of
Spanish lumber importers, with
Offices in New Orleans, announce
the purchase of three large
freighters and the charter of three
others to take care of lumber ex-
ports. Much of this lumber is
for war purposes. Cotton will
also be carried to the Barcelona
mills. The possibility of muni-
tons shipments Gu. Of New Or
leans on a large scale adds in
terest to these late movements for
the increase Of shipping facilities.

A clear perspective is what
the people Of Louisiana want
Individuous comparisons and
bad temper accomplish moth
ing. This is by way OF in
PRODUCTION to this article, and
to get the facts properly be-
fore our readers.
The Times-Picayune, on the
front page Of its last Mon
days edition, presents a true
political perspective Of 1.-The
Gubernatorial Situation at a
Glance-The Men Behind a
Candidate are Of as Much
Importance as the Candidate
Himself. "
John M. Parker appears
as sponsored by the indepen-
dent farmer and the indepen-
pendent business man.
Ruffin &. Pleasant appears
as the candidate Of Bob
Ewing and J. Y. Sanders.
Tom Barrel, a gentlemanly
looking fellow, is presented
by DR.. Turner and Newton
G. Blanchard.
This clear picture presents
to the public the political
perspecti ve-clean cut,
straight and unmistakable.
Now where do you stand?
Do you stand with the far
mers and business men of the
State, or do you stand for
and with the men, Mr.. Ewing
and Mr.. Sanders, DR.. Turner
and Mr.. Blanchard? Who
should a Governor serve-the
man, or the people,? (Politi-
cal prohibition cannot prohi-
bit.
The fact that the man is a
gentleman and a scholar, a
leader or a follower, does not
matter in the least. What
does Louisiana most need
now, the voluntary coopera-
ton and backing of the rank
and file, or the rankest type
of indiviGualism!
What do the people need |
in this crisis. a leader Of the
people and from the people,
or a leader of the politicians,
like Pleasant, or a leader of
any one who will follow, like
Barret!

OUT OF BALANCE.

In Herbert Spencer's 1.-THE
Man VS.. the State, tn
writer says:
"Lift shot after ehot out of tn
loaded scale and put it into thu
uuloaded scale. Presently you
will produce balance; and if yo,
70 on, the position of the scal'
will be reversed. "** use thu
figure to illustrate what results
from transferring one individual
after another from the regulated
macs of the community to the
regulating structures. The trans
fer weakens the one and strength
ems the other in a far greater de.
gree than is implied by the rela-
tive change of numbers. A com.
paratively small body of officials
coherent, having common inter-
ests, and acting under central au-
thority. has an immense advan-
tage over an incoherent public
which has no settled policy. and
can be brought to act unitedly
only under strong provocation
Hence an organization Of officials.
once passing a certain stage of
growth becomes less and less
resistible; as we see in the bureau
cracies of the continent"
Is there not suggestion in
this, that the transfer of the
regulated mass to the
Regulating structures is
one of the great causes Of
lack of balance in the politi-
cal condition Of Louisiana? 1t
is estimated that the increase
in tie army of employees, to-
gether with the number of
over-paid employees in this
State, amounts to nearly half
a million dollars annually.
The organization Of officials
has passed that stage of
growth where it is almost
resistible; the organization is
SO coherent that it is titan
ic struggle for a regulated
mass, 100000 strong, to re.
sist it, except when the
regulating" mass OCCASION
ally loses it's conference by a
family row.
AS regards the future Of
the Progressive Party. this
paper has little concern at
this time. The needs of the
State aud it's future welfare
is a question paramount to
any, or all political parties.
We know that a radical
change must be had, conse-
quently we are not interested
III any party label. The
hungry mass is ruling and
running Louisiana with poll
tics devoid of all business
qualification or considera-
ton. The business men and
taxpayers were not given the
chance or right to protest
against their ruin, without
bringing down upon their
heads all the venom and bit.
terness Of partisan news
Ppers, and a patronag e
hungry ruling mass; and be-
cause the best man TO he
selected for Governor is the
candidate of the Progressive
Party, the top heavy ruling
mass of officialdom is trying
to strike a further balance
against the state.
If you will stop to think
the matter over. it is just as
easy as taking shot out of
The scale. Just simply lift
some of the useless and over
paid officials out Of the over
oaded scale and presently
you will produce a balance. .
