LET AMERICA'A- ARIToCRACY BE
ONE OF BRAINS

Washington, March 31-The, Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters:
Zone of the lasting benefits to be
derived by the United States from
this worldwide war will be our
awakening from the delusion that we
must look to Europe for what is best
in many lines of industry and educa-
ton.
"To our own injury we have been
content to place high esteem upon an
article bearing the brand made in
Germany, and to hold in high regard
the scholar whose education was
given its finishing touches at Heidle-
berg. Quite likely it has been true
that German industry had been pre-
pared to turn out better products in
some respects than could be produced
by American factories, and it is also
quite likely true that the, great educa-
tional institutions of Germany were
prepared to give American students
more extended and thorough course
of instruction than could be had at
home. This situation existed, how
ever, not because of any limitation
upon the possibilities of America, but
because of our willingness to remain
in secondary position.
Having been, through force of cir
cumstances, deprived Of many commo-
dities which we. depended upon Ger
many to supply, and having learned
how far German culture falls short of
the highest standards of Christian
civilization, we should determine that
henceforth America shall produce for
herself the best that the world can
supply in either the material or the
intellectual field Of human activity.
We should never again be content to
depend uDon Germany or any other
country for any commodity that it is
possible for us to produce at home.
We should never again be content
that any American student shall have
the least excuse for going to Germany
or any other country to complete HIS
education.
1.-THE best in the world should be
Americas new slogan - the best in
education. the best in physical and
metaphysical science, the best in the
arts, the best in Industrial enterprise.
As one important step in that direc-
ton, America should establish new,
higher and more practical standards
in its educational system, giving more
aid to original research. and proyid
ing for the highest degree Of training

CHEERFUL WORDS

To have the pains and aches of a
back removed-to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders,
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. The following advice Of one
who has suffered will prove helpful to
hundreds of Morgan City readers.
Mrs. j. Fahrenheit, Third street, says:
81 am always ready to speak a good
word for Doan 8 Kidney Pills. I have
taken them on several occasions when
my kidneys were out of order and my
back has felt weak and lame and it only
required few doses to give me relief

cine than Doan's Kidney Pills for this
trouble. I am glad to confirm the state

No Price Fixing
on the South's Staple

q ENATOR HAM LEWIS is OPP
~ posed to legislation fixing the
price of cotton and in an interview
in The Age Herald a few days ago,
expressed a positive opinion that Con-
gress had no intention Of taking ac-
ton on this question
A representative from Ohio intro
duced bill recently seeking to keep
the price of cotton down, but it will
probably be pigeon-holed in commit
tee.
When Congress fixed the price of
grain, it legislated upward. The
southern members supported the
measure which benefited the grain
growing west, and it would be unfair,
Indeed, if the west were to turn around
and try to prevent the south from get
ting reasonable price for it's staple.
Western members will do nothing of
the sort.
Interests contending that 20 cents
was as much as cotton growers should
receive, lost sight of the fact that
very little cotton would be planted if
the farmer knew he could not sell it
at a price that would yield him a
profit.
There was time when 20-cent cot
ton would have paid well; would, in
fact, have made the grower rich. But
not so now. With the high cost of
labor and the advance in price on
everything the farmer has to buy,
20 cents would not enable him to
make any profit at all. He would
have toiled in vain. Thirty cents would
give him a good profit, of course, but
| no more than he would be entitled to-
The world is hungry for cotton
There is an imperative demand for a
fourteen or fifteen-million- crop,
Should growing conditions indicate a
crop below fourteen million bales, the
market would, it is believed, be firm
around 35-csnt level. But even if
the weather should be favorable
enough to make a fifteen million-bale
crop, there is reason to think the
price would not fall much below SO
cents. Last year brought prosperity
to the south, and 1918 promises to be
another year of bountiful production

Make Tomorrow
a Memorable Day

THE third Liberty Loan of $3,OOO,-
u 100000 will go we'll over the
top before May 4, the Gay set for the
ending of the campaign.
As tomorrow has been proclaimed
by the President Liberty Day there
should be, and doubtless will be, phe-
nomenal achievement in obtaining
Liberty Bond pledges. Subscriptions
have been pouring in all this week and
a.total of nearly $4,000, 100000 had
been reached yesterday.
With the country thoroughly
aroused it should not be difficult Fri
day to raise the balance of the bond
money sought. If billion dollars in
round numbers is not reported on
