Cotton should not be produced and
then sold at price less than the cost

For years and years the spectators
and spinners Of the world hammered
down the price below the cost Of pro.

produced this monopoly plant product
of the South lived from hand to mouth

financial servitude.
They were ever in debt to their land
lords or their local merchants or their
bankers, or the agents of the over.
lords Of Europe or the allies OF the
overlords in this land Of the free.
Not for fifty years have the pro
ducers Of cotton reaped the rewards

AN APPEAL.

The fundamental evil of our race
is the lack of sufficient, appreciation
and interest of the responsibility and
duty we owe to each other. We have
allowed ourselves to SO lapse into a
state of inertia and lethargy that we
are oblivious of the wrongs and in
justices melted out to our people, and
not even attempt to raise our voice
in protest. Have we lost every sense
and quality of manhood Will we
stand erect before the world high Of
heart and purpose? If we intend to
play our part as people and be pre-
pared to do our duty to others, let
US decide now what we want to do
and make ready to do II. It Is the
duty of every adult member of the
race to align himself or herself with
this living existing organization and
become an integral part of it. l am
somewhat perplexed to think that
any right thinking Negro should be
without the pale of an association
that stands uncompromisingly for
freedom, equality and justice. Dear
readeri is it your duty to take out
membership? We owe each other a
duty for it is the cement which binds
the whole. moral edifice together
without which all powers and intel
lect, can have no permanence. The
membership fee is ONE DOLLAR
a year. Will you not lend your mo-
raj and financial support to this
great movement? We are far from
being immune to insults and pre-
JUDGES here, and we can only do
effective work by uniting ourselves
and thus be prepared to legally fight
these evils. Come out to our meet
ings and know and learn for, yourself
what is being done. The question
you should put to yourself is not,
what would people say? but, is it my
duty? Remember
Whate'er thy race or speech thou
art the same.
Before thy eyes duty, a constant
flame
Shines always steadfast with un-
changing light
Through dark days and through
bright.
Send One Dollar to the under
signed and join in this great work.

THE POOR DO NOT. BEG.

The man on the street or the wom-
an at the door, who solicits aid on
ground of your sympathy for his con-
dition, may safely be assumed to be
making a better living by that pro-
cess than by accepting such care as
the state offers.
Minneapolis, just at the present mo
ment, is suffering from an oversupply
of beggars. The trade is a good one
although somewhat risky. The more
plausible the applicant appears, the
greater the returns.
But no genuinely poor person ever
begs. 1t is difficult enough to find
them with the aid of neighbors,
schools, churches and relatives.
The beggar is one who has discov-
cred that tale of suffering is an as.
set; and that no honestly poor person
acknowledges.
The continuance of begging is made
possible by the continuance oil
thoughtless; unrelated relief giving
whether by individuals or societies
1t will, stop when we get together
pooling not only our resources bu,
also our information.
The waste Of money in giving tc
the beggars does not compare in ser.
iousness to the destroyed social sense
produced in the mendicant. 1t is high.
ly contagious and we'll nigh incur.
able disease. We quarantine those
who are carriers of small pox, W.
have not yet learned the method o.
preventing the spread of the begging
spirit. = The Bulletin - ASSOCIATED

MORE WOLVES CAPTURED
Auditor Portz Pays ouS $500 in
Bounties Past Week-Four Radg-
ers Brought in Monday.

The spring crop of wolves continues
to find it's way to the court house and
during the past week Auditor Porte
paid out 5000 in bounties. Judging
from the number of scalps turned in
this spring the crop in Crawford coun'
ty is abundant. With bounties of 500
for adults and 81 for cubs it is well
worth while to hunt these animals
which cause considerable loss to the
farmers during the year.
H. p Hansen, of Morgan township,
brought in four cub badger scalps on
Monday of this week. Mr.. Hansen
had never seen any badgers and sup.
posed they were cub wolves when he
found them in nest ON his farm.
Badgers are not common in this 10.
cality and the scalps were viewed
with considerable interest by the court
house boys. No bounty is paid by the
state for these animals.
Those who brought in wolf scalps
during the past week were: May I'd,

NEW PASTOR HAS ARRIVED
Rev, Robt. karr, New Presbyterian
Pastor, Occupied Pulpit Sunday
Congregation Pleased

Rev. Robert Karr. of Omaha, new
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
this city, filled the pulpit on Sunday.
Rev. and Mrs. Karr moved their house
hold goods to Denison last week and
are now nicely settled in the manse
just west of the church. The manse
has been completely renovated, the
interior having been redecorated and
the woodwork varnishel. The eXteri-
or of the building is now being painted.
Members Of the Presbyterian church
are more than pleased with the new
pastor and under his leadership look
for an increased membership. Rev.
,Karr only recently finished his work
in college and before accepting the
pastorate here had received several
calls to 90 elsewhere. He was invit.
ed to Los Angeles to preach there.
but after looking over the field decid-
ed that Denison afforded better oppor.
tunity for him than did the west. He
is man of middle age with pleas
ing personality and already has made
many warm friends in the; community
We welcome Rev. and Mrs. Karr to
the community. G
