ALWAYS ANOTHER SIDE

In the formation of our views on
national, state and municipal af-
fairs many of us are unconscious
ly led into the error of believing
that there is but one side to the
question before us-our side.
When we become imbued with this
obscession we likewise become in
tolerant and refuse to recognize
the possibility of any views except
our own.
We might cite a few instances:
We favor a certain man for pres
ident in the Forthcoming national
election. To our mind he is the
only man possessing the neces-
sary qualifications for this exalted
position. All other are mediocre
and not worth consideration. And
yet as a matter of fact there is
not man in the race for the pres
idency today but what has his good
and valuable qualities as well as
his weak ones, for the brains of
this nation are not centered in any
one man. We have our personal
choice and we sincerely believe
that the man of our choice is the
best fitted for the Office, but we
should readily concede to our neigh
Dor his inalienable right to differ
from us in this belief.
We may favor a certain system
in municipal government and our
neighbor may entertain views radi-
cally divergent from our own. But
this does not necessarily imply that
we are exactly right in our con-
ception and that our neighbor is en-
tirely wrong, for our neighbor,
though differing from US in our
views, yet possesses intelligence
and is quite capable of applying it
in relation to any subject before
the people.
In fact, there are two sides to
every question. The preponderance
of argument may be in favor of
one side, yet the advocates of the
other side but speak in the light of
their training and of their sincere
conceptions of what is for the
public veal.
They are honest in their convic-
tions, as we are honest in ours,
and wisdom bespeaks the utmost
tolerance on the part of all fac
tons and peoples for those who
oppose them in their policies and
beliefs.
1t is by the careful exercise of
this wisdom that a nation becomes
great and strong and dominating in
the world of affairs, while to pur-
sue reverse policy rs to invite

As let go of my feelings, big blue fish jumped up out of the water and gazed hungrily into my beautiful blue eyes. He was handsome fellow and I knew that I'd remember him if I ever saw him again. And sure enough, five days later, as we were entering the harbor of Port-au-Prince. and while l was again meditating on the philosophy of life, that same blue fish jumped out of the water as if to de- vour my inmost thoughts.

Little Rock, March 4.-Work has commenced on the new levee at the state farm. Linnan Bros. x Tansey of Texarkana have the contract, and there are seven sub-contractors in camp engaged in the work, which is to be completed by May 1.

There will be about 5000 acres of land back of the levee, and 5000 between the levee and the river that will be valuable only for pas turage.
 Work has also commenced on the new buildings, including stock and ad- ministration, hospital, barn, and a number of other buildings The lum- Der is being sawed by the states own saw-mill and the work being done by the convicts.

4 HUGE OAVY JONES
 LOCKER LA PROVENCE
Tho French Ministry Cannot De- ride Whether Vessel Was Sent to Bottom by Submarine or Whether She Struck Mine.

Paris. March 3.-lt was announced st the French ministry of marine to- d.v that there were nearly 4,000 men m hoard the French auxiliary cruiser Provence when she was sunk in the Mediterranean on February 26. It was stated that on board the Prov ence were the staff of the Third Col onal Infantry regiment, the Third Battalion, the Second Company of the First aBttalion, the Second Machine Gun company, and one extra company, in all nearly 4,000 men.
 As the ministry of marine on Feb ruary 29 announced that the number of survivors os the Provence disaster was estimated at 870, it is indicated by the foregoing that upwards of 31SO lives were lost. This loss of more than 5000 lives is the greatest ocean disaster of modern times.
 The French ministry of marine had previously issued no statement as to the number of persons on the Prov ence when she went down. The vessel, however, when in the transatlantic service could carry 1860 persons, in cluding the crew, and it has been pre- sumed that as she was transporting troops between ports not far apart, she was carrying a number of men larger than her normal capacity. The official statement said no signs of a submarine were noticed, either before or after the sinking. La Provence was armed with five cannon of 14 cen tmeters, two of 57 milimetres and four of 47 milimetres.

EUROPEAN HAY BURNED.

Galveston, Texas, March 3.-Fire of unknown origin was discovered late this evening in hay stored in a local warehouse consigned for shipment for Europe. Late tonight it was still burning. The warehouse is divided into the four sections of concrete fire walls, and it is regarded as certain that all the hay inside the section now burning will be destroyed.
 Within the section is stored about $500 tons of prairie hay valued at upwards of $10 ton. It is the pro- perty of Steger and Company, export CTS of horses and feed on large con- tracts. In the other three sections are stored more than 1000 bales of hay valued at about $150,000. All of this hay, it is believed, is safe.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Political Crisis Gives Nervous Tone, and Business is Dimin- ished-DispOsitiOn to Await More Favorable Conditions.

New York, March 3.-The cotton market has been less active during the past week. A continuation of the recent selling movement caused fur ther decline on Monday with July con- tracts selling at Hide, or nearly $8 bale below the high level of last aJnuary, but offerings then became less active, and prices since have ral- lied some 25 to 35 points from the lowest on covering of shorts, little trade buying and some scattering SUD- port from local bulls oy reactionists.
 Sentiment, however, has been ren- dered very nervous by the unsettled state of affairs politically, and the diminished volume of business has suggested a more or less general dis position to wait for more favorable international conditions, some fresh development in the Southern spot markets or a nearer view of the new crop outlook.
 Rumors of slightly easier ocean freight situation have not yet been followed by reports of any definite change in ocean freight rates and have been offset to some extent by advanc- es in marine insurance attributed to the new submarine campaign. Only few scattered reports are yet com ing in with reference to new crop preparations, and the advices so far received have been conflicting.
 Local traders quite generally seem to feel there has been nothing in weather conditions up to the present time which would operate against the new crop outlook.

GROW 'fOODSTUFFS
 INSTEAD OF COTTON
President of National Farmers Union Issues Letter of Warn ing to Farmers Union and to Farmers Generally.

Charles s. Barrett of Union City, Ga., president of the National Farm ers' Union, has issued the following letter, a copy of which was received yesterday by the News:
 The letter follows:
 "To the Members of the Farmers
 Union and Farmers Generally
 Throughout the Cotton States:
 "The other day I read report that there are 92,000 farms in Texas which have no COWS, 124,00O which have no pigs, 60,000 without poultry, 306 farms that do not grow pound of hay and 369, ,000 that raise no sweet potatoes. This statement is more than surprising, it is appalling. If these are conditions in Texas, one of the greatest of farming states, they exist to as great or greater degree in the other cotton-growing states Of the South.
 There is the seat of our trouble here in the South. Too many of us are continuing to concentrate on one product alone-cotton. As long as you keep on raising nothing but cotton and paying out your cotton money for forage and food and clothing, instead of making your farm furnish your living to you, you are never going to get anywhere and the most of the time you'll be in debt.
 Caution Again Necessary.
 Right at this time especially I want to caution you and warn you against an all cotton crop this year. As sure as you continue to devote your attention wholly to cotton this year, you are going to come out at the little end of the horn. There is no lodging it. You all remember what happened in 1914 when the Flu ropean war began. You remember how it frightened you, how it dis tressed you, how it left you with scant rations because you failed to make your food at home and had nothing but low priced cotton-not enough to pay your debts.
 "Well, if you don't look out the same sort of thing is going to hap pen again. As big cotton crop this year is going to spell the same sort of disaster for you that you exper- fenced in 1914, if not worse. The price is down now, and it is staying down. Just you plant big crop and you'll see it tumble lower still. Some millions of bales of last years crop are still being held because of pres ent prices. Suppose you should add another big crop to this stock on hand; you know very well what would happen, and if you don't look out, it will happen.
 "The European war is not over; there is no telling when it will end. It may go on for several years. Ger tainly it will not end this year, and probably not next. The German, Aus trian and Russian markets are closed tight against your cotton; the worlds consumption is reduced by several million bales. How can you hope for higher prices if you make big crop? It is out of the question.
The Prescott daily news., 1916-03-04
Grow Food Products.

But if you will go ahead and make your own living at home, make some food product to sell-for the world has got to eat-you will come out all right no matter what happens to cotton. Not only that, but with the shorter crop you will get your own price for it, or at least come nearer to it than you have ever done before.
 Every one of those 92,000 farms, those 124,00O farms, those 60,000 farms in Texas should not only have cows and pigs and poultry, but they should grow their own grain and for age and garden truck, instead of pay ing two prices for it in cheap cotton. This applies equally to conditions in every cotton state in the South, to every farmer who grows cotton at all.
 "This is absolutely the only road to farm independence, to your independ- ence. You had better take it now. If you disregard this injunction and plant cotton, cotton until there is nothing else on your place, set it down right now that when harvest time comes you are going to be wearing the same long face you wore in the
