WHY MISS RANKIN FAILED.

Jeanette Rankin. who was repudiated in
the primaries and was again defeated in the
election OF last Tuesday as an in
dependent candidate, failed not because
the electorate Of Montana is preiu-
diced against sending a woman to con-
gress, but because she Jagged behind
public sentiment. She had the same oppor-
unity 10 guage the sentiment of the coun-
try, and her own state in particularly, to-
ward the war as her colleagues in congress
before she cast her vote against its declara-
ton. In this she failed. Further, she demon
strated g fundamental defect in education
IN falling TO detect the real significance to
America Of the war, then confined to Europe.
She saw only the horror and atrocity of war,
and shrunk from its further contemplation
She did not realize that the war was waged
by despotism against the growing democracy
Of the world, and that the United States,
being the largest single democracy, must in
evitably be drawn into it; either as an ally
to fight on foreign soil or, single handed, to
attempt to stop the invasion Of our own land
by victory inflated despotism This was a
crucial moment in the political career of
Miss Rankin. She chose the road which led
to the discard.
The defeat of Miss Rankin must not be
confused with the feminist movement. 1t
had nothing to do with the suffrage She
was judged by the electors as her male
colleagues were judged-simply upon her
record in congress. All members Of either
house who came before the primaries for q
denomination were thoroughly scrutinized
without much reference to party or fractional
politics or other activities, save only the
paramount one of their attitude toward the
ideals and institutions of the republic. If
thew were sound in this they received the
votes if not they were passed up, no matter
whether man or woman, democrat or repub-
hcan. No matter what other service they
may have to commend them if they have
failed in this larger service they will not
be trusted by the people.

SOME RED CROSS RESULTS.

The report Of the war council of the
American Red Cross recently made public
deals with some interesting features of the
work Of this splendid organization. Its
outline on what hiss been done to save Bel
GUM from determination after the Germans
took possession Of all but 500 square miles
of It's territory IS one of the thrilling though
modest chapters OF the war. The Belgians
driven from their land or forced into virtual
slavery would have been Germanized which
5 synonymous with exterminated. except for
the work Of the Red Cross. In the area
which Germany failed to conquer 10000
people, 10000 Of whom were children I'M
Ger Is years Of age, were huddled. They
were dependent upon outside help for food
and clothes. A half million more refugees
were scattered through Holland, Switzerland
sd England. These people were ready to
DO al they possibly could do to help them
selves in their time of dire distress, but the
opportunities were not at hand except as
they were provided by the Red Cross. Next
after caring for the soldiers who
were fighting the battles the helpless chill
dren received attention Hospitals were
constructed in which the children were
cared for. Foods including milk, were sup
piled. Clothing, mostly worn American gar
ments, was provided to keep these German
victims from freezing. Medical attention
was given the children so that disease would
not accomplish what Germany desired, the
destruction of the race. A purse was ar
ranged for the Belgian queen which the
American Red Cross always kept filled This
money was used for the victims of the war
The lace workers were provided with means
by which they could continue their work,
and thus contribute to the relief of their
less fortunate countrymen. From the time
the Red CROSS found the Belgian army en-
trenched among the sand dunes along the
User river till the present every necessary
resource of the organization has been con-
secrated to the relief of that army. Food
and clothing have been shipped. Disabled
soldiers are cared for. Sick and wounded
receive attention in the hospitals Gifts
expressive Of the appreciation of civiliza-
ton have been bestowed upon soldiers who
have rendered special services in their coun-
try
The report covers the amounts expend-
ed in accomplishing the work it outlines
But cost is not material element in the
Red Cross. Results are the only things
worth while. There is no quibbling about
how it spent the funds. A nation made
homeless and helpless by the brutality and
inhumanity of world curse has been pre-
served The heroic work of the organiza-
ton which accomplished it against the sui
len acquiescence of the spoiler is q silent
epic of the war

THE CITYS SICK,

For the benefit of those or our readers
who state that they have watched the paper

that it has never been the policy of the
management to issue hospital bulletin. To

sneezed or fe't poorly the past week or
two would have filed every available inch
If space. Sympathy was just as sincere as
if mention had been made. We confess that
we never could enjoy dwelling on the poor
health of our friends and neighbors. There
is no greater rejoicing anywhere than in the
Office the The News that Dawson and Ter
rel county have escaped a serious epidemic,
and that those who have been sick are bet
ter, thank you. We felicitate those who are
liable to he about" which. in our humble
opinion, is better than TO have walled with
them while they were in the throes of flu.

Raising Sacred Cattle of
India in Texas for Meat

Several years ago the nucleus of what
has since grown to be large herd of sa-
cred Brahma cattle were imported from In
dia and placed upon the Pierce ranch near
F!erce, Texas, by A. P Borden, manager
OF that property. Whatever sacredness any
particular caste of natives of India NAV
nave attached to these hump-shouldered
bovlnes is lost upon the original stock and
their descendants in their homes upon the
sweeping prairies of the gulf coast region
of Texas. They were brought to Texas as
commercial experiment and it has proved
a SUCCESS, it is claimed.
The pure blooded Brahma cattle which
roam over the Pierce ranch are of the ident-
zeal breed that may be seen upon the streets
OF Bombay and other cities and towns Of
India where their worshipers graciously give
them the freedom of the sidewalks and even
the stores and treat them with the great
est possible consideration and kindness. The
nlmble-footed bovine that may be seen in
large number trotting through the streets of
Colombo, the beautiful city of the Island
OF Ceylon, Bombay, and other populous cen
ters Of India, pulling little carriage cart,
is said to be a strain of the Brahmas.
1t was with no little difficulty that Mr..
Borden was able to overcome the religious
scrupleS Of the Brahma worshipers and the
consent OF the government authorities of
India to bring to America the first lot of
Brahms cattle. He made the first importa-
tons of the stock to Texas twelve years
ago. 1t was found that the cattle were
splendidly adapted to the climate and other
conditions Of the gulf coast region. The
original herd has greatly increased. The
crossing Of the cattle with standard Amer
lean breeds with the view of increasing
their meat production was attended with
good results. Each year there are marketed
from the Pierce ranch several hundred
Brahmas. Their beef qualities have proved
Of high standard by the different meat-pack-
ing plants of the country

GAVE THEM FACTS.

If the government should fix a price on
cotton too low to give the farmer profit
he would not have to raise cotton. Or, if he
did raise it, he would not have to sell it
VI ne wanted to. These two facts are
beir" discussed more than ever before in
connection with the renewed agitation for
cotta- nrice fixing. Senator Smith, of Geor-
gia, laid particular stress on the second
point in a recent speech in the senate in
which he refuted the charge that the south
is shown favoritism. Senator Smith
showed that while the government has au-
thority to take over all the cotton it needs
for lis own use which demands of war may
nece itate there is no power in the war in
dustries board or in the congress itself to
corr q one citizen to sell his property to
another citizen at price fixed by the gov
eminent. The senator made it plain, also,
that the cost of producing cotton IS great
deal higher than it ever was before, aver
aPirr f~om 80 to 35 cents pound in Geor-
gia. and called attention to the fact that the
politicians and officials who favor the gov
err 07ttiNo price on raw cotton have
carefully refrained from saying anything

Length of Lint in Cotton
Crops; Proportions and Values

In the cotton crops of 1916 and 1917 the
long-tibered Egyptian and sea island lint was
or and 0.8 per cent, respectively, of the
total production; the long staple, with a
length OF l IS inches and over was 8S and
and 1910 per cent, and the short staples of
less than Is inches were 90.4 and 1913 per
cent. The amount of the crops was 1,45O,-
600 and 1902, 900 bales of 500 pounds
This information has been obtained by Mr.
w. L. Pryor, the cotton-crop specialist of
the United States department of agricul-
ture. Excluding sea island and Egyptian
the long-staple cotton with length of more
than Il inches was 1.3 and IL per cent,
respectively of the entire cotton crops of
1916 and 1917.
Egyptian cotton is grown in Southeastern
California and Southwestern Arizona under
irrigation, and sea island cotton in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida Other long
staple cotton is produced mostly in the al
luvial regions of Mississippi, between the
Mississippi and Yazoo rivers known as the
delta" on similar soils in Arkansas along
the Arkanas, Mississippi and other large
rivers; in Eastern Oklahoma and in North
eatern South Carolina
The short-staple cotton under n inches
in length sells for the lowest price. About
December l, 1917, this cotton had price of
27.6 cents per pound to producers, as an
average for the United States: the long
staple cotton with length of Is inches
and over but under Il had an average price
OF 33.5 cents, and sea island and Egyptian
lint a price of 70 cents per pound to pro-
ducers.

There is peace that cometh after sorrow

But calmly on tempest that is stilled
A peace that lives not now in Joys excuses.

But in the unerring strength the heart pos

A peace that is in sacrifice secluded
