A LINE o. CHEER
EACH DAY o. THE YEAR.
By John kendriek Bangs.
THROUGH THE DEPTHS.

Overhead the winds are sweeping.
Underneath the feds are sleeping.
Overhead the zee is cleaning.
Underneath the rills are dreaming.
Overhead the clouds are piling.
But beyond the skies are smiling.
Overhead the snow is falling.
Yet / hear soft voices calling
To my soul through winter cropping,
Bidding me to keep on hoping,
For that through sI,ch chill as this IS
Through the arctical abysses.
Nature leads her sons and daughters
on TO springtime's sunny waters.

The President was so unconventional
in his first days here that he actually
tried to make use of the Republicans
i'm Congress as well as the Democrats.
He encouraged them TO come 10 sec
him and talk freely over plans for
legislation. He saw no reason why
mere party Affiliations should stan6
in the way of work intended for the
whole Nation. Then the gossip began,
and the Jealousy There were accu-
sations Of favoritism and suspicion
Of motives on the part OF the Repre-
sentatives. II any Of them thought
they could curry favor they did not
understand Woodrow Wilson. Some
how the new way didn't work out
right. II was too big a way for the
time. but it served TO illustrate the
Presidents character. II helped to eX-
plain why. in this crisis Of our history,
the President is so Enthusiastically
backed by Congress.

In an early speech made here the
President once referred 20 his fond
ness for golf. Years ago" he said
when 1 began to play / couldn',
afford caddy. So / got into the
habit Of keeping my eye on the bal
and seeing where II landed"
The words made a hit on accoun,
Of their frank simplicity.
The idea of a man who was
going TO be President of the United
States being too poor to hire a
caddyr"
But there was a deeper signif-
canoe in this incident. a significance
that the President himself did not
take into consideration.
He always keeps his eye on the
ball. He knows what he wants tc
do and how he wants to do il and
he knows whether it is done.
1t is this faculty, combined with
his geniality and firmness, sus.
tained by his highly trained mind
that has given him so much power
over his associates

Here is Woodrow Wilson to the life.
He has the literary nlan's habit OF
being continually on the watch for
suggestions and he has the states
mans habit OF making clear and firm
decisions. Moreover. when he sees
That he has erred, he Is quick to
change. He made an amiable boast
that while he was in Office the doors
Of the White House should always
be open. He tried to keep them open
Tor few days and he found himself
swamped. with no time for real work
or for thought. Then the doors closed
and getting to see the President
meant that you really had business
with him, something of Importance.
When he announced that he could not
give time 10 the discussion Of ap-
potntments TO once and that this
matter had been turned over to Sec
retary of State Bryan, the politicians
were staggered One OF them ven
tured TO break the rule. The Presi-
dent said: That will be enough" and
1t was enough. Genial, mellow, old
Champ Clark. however. had an ap-
pointment under consideration and he
telt that 1t was important enough 10

ed Afterwsrd some one asked the
President il it were true the two had
discussed the appointment and re-
ceived this reply, accompanied by the
beautiful Wilson smile: Il couldn't
refuse to discuss any question with

Champ Clark" II might have been
added that the representative from
Missouri had a way with him, a way

nowadays unless it has first re-

involved. But there is involved a

VIII Woodrow Wilson 20 dowr
IN history as the great upsetter OF
precedent? Or will those tradI-
tions seem 80 unimportant as Ia
be forgotten in his greater fame as
a leader of men? Since he came "a
washington he has certainly done
very much as he pleased without
reference TO the habit Of Presi-
dents; but he has never violated
common sense or good taste: he
has kept on the side Of reason and
right Before he became President.
When he was summoned by his
predecessor in office to Washing
ton In order to discuss the Mexican
situation, threatening serious trou-
ole. he politely declined TO 90. His
early utteranees at the start of
his Presidential career showed that
his great ambition was TO be
among the most democratic of
Presidents. He frankly said that
he wanted the association and ad-
vice of his fellow men He also
remarked 1okIng1y that he was ike
a sponge, absorbing the IDEAS OF
other people; but he added when he
had taken the ideas in and made
them part of himself he did what
he thought best.

THE TALE OF A BALE
A Brinkley Bale ofl9l6 Cot
 ton and Its History.

A remittance of $192.87 was received by the ARGUS man a few days ago as the proceeds for the sale of a bale of cotton which he bought during the early part of the 1916 season, and in as much as this particular bale was ONE with a history Pm going to print something about it.
 The ARGUS editor, a few years ago, believing that the farmers in this territory were not getting just exactly what was coming to them in the Brinkley cotton mar ket in the way of prices, began Ito remonstrate with our mer- chants and asked them to break away from the old "one price, one man, name the price sys- tem' and to get in the business game and pay what cotton and seed was worth. If it was dog tail cotton, pay dog tail prices and if it was grade cotton, then pay grade prices. Some of the merchant didn't like for the ARGUS to interfere, and even cut their ads out and others refused to give business then, and told us that we didn't understand things, that the soil around Brinkley was not good enough to produce good grades of cotton, etc. But we couldn't believe it that way and in order to prove our position the ARGUS man bought quite a few bales of cot ton and shipped them. and in every single instance the sales showed that we were right that the Brinkley grade of cotton was simply what we made it. and that it wasn't all the ordi- nary ''dog tail'' grade, either.
 This particular bale of cotton was one of the bales l bought and in as much as it was one that was ''unloaded' on the ARGUS man on one of his high ids by one of our foxy hostile friends. I decided to hold just to see how much it would really bring and thus the delay in sell ing it. The price paid for this bale back in the days when they resented the ARGUS saying any thing about higher cotton prices in Brinkley, was $S7.0O. There fore the price paid me, on this particular bale. $l92.87, is pleas ant reminder of the folly of the man who ''unloaded" it on me. In the meantime Brinkley cotton growers and sellers are about to | forget there ever was a streak of selfishness in our cotton buy CTS, for believe me. there are about as game a bunch of bidders here now as can be found in any town. and it is not necessary any longer for the newspaper man to use his harpoon or bid on bale, and we all are thankful for that.
