SATURDAY, OCTOBER %, 1918.

We understand that the /. W. W.,
are planning to launch campaign
among Negroes. We feel that very
little of the doctrine of these work
ers" is to be trusted as solution
of our problems for it must be re-
membered by all who have kept up
TO any extent with their activities,
that they are and have been made
famous for their organized system
of destruction as means OF gaining
their ends. If they can help Negro
labor to organize with sound, COM
mon sense ideals as their aim, we
welcome their lieterature and their
activity but we feel that before en-
tering into any consideration OF their
plans and projects We should make
them as well as the general public,
sure of the fact that we desire NO
Bolshevistic propaganda nor proJectss
which will andanger the welfare Oh
any individual or group, ourselves
included. We are striving to gam
only that which the Constitution OF
America guarantees to each OF its
citizens, which because Of mal-admin-
istration of laws and combination
of prejudice of our enemies and ST.
lence of our friends, has been de-
MED us. We want peaceful settle
ment of each of our difficulties. We
do not under any condition feel that
one evil turn deserves another, but
rather that the evil doer, by public
disapproval shall learn that society is
not governed by selfish desires but
that mutual agreement and cooper
alton are essential to the mainten-
ance and upbuilding of any social
structure.

There was time when 1t was said
that neither the memory Of the past
nor the hope of the future Is es-
sential to the bouyant spirit of the
Negro. He lives neither in the past
nor the future. The present is his
world. Neither his ancestry, nor his
progeny concerns him greatly. He
can not honor his ancestors nor pro-
tect his progeny. This has all been
changed in the New Negro. He has
parents OF whom he is justly proud
and children he does protect. He
laments not over the tragedy of the
past but is deeply concerned as to
his prospects of the future.

The Plain Z aler says: The recent
trouble at Helena, Ark. is causing
thousands Of Negroes to leave the
state. Each outgoing train is car
rying Negroes to ali sections Of the
North. If this continues. the crops
in Arkansas will be left to rot. Thou
sands of the Negroes have gone and
thousands more are going. 1t is
charged that there is propaganda be-
ing spread in the state to whip Ne
groes as If in the days OF slavery.
This propaganda along with lynch
ing and mob violence Is running the
Negroes out Of the State. and the far
mers are sure to entail heavy loss.

There are three courses for
people to take when grouped to-

that results in friction. riots and

in which the relation is commercial;
the other is sympathetic which shows
itself in an Interchange OF ideas and
cooperation for mutual help.

Old Sea Captain Cured His Own Rupture After Doctors Said

His Remedy and Book Sent Free.
 Captain Ceilings sailed the seas for many years; then he sustained a bad double rupture that soon forced him to not only remain ashore, but kept him bedridden for years. He tried doctor after doctor and truss after truss. No results! Finally, he was assured that he must either submit to a dangerous and abhorrent operation or die. He did neitheri He cured himself instead.

he can get in some other industry, the lab orer is going to abandon the pro- duction of cotton for that industry.
 Illusions are dangerous. Their ten dency is to dissipate our reserved strength, and to leave us unprepared to do our best should a crucial situa- tion arise, while frankly facing facts tends to conserve our resources and to equip us to command every ounce of our resistance when such a supreme test comes. What is the good of de- ceiving ourselves? Why not frankly fact just what our common sense points to being the effect of this competition for farm labor, the effect of the wages these competitors have been paying and the effect of the wages they can be expected to continue to pay?
 Instead of deceiving ourselves by far fetched theories, based upon ancient and out-grown standards, why not test out the matter in a thoroughly prac- tical way? Take, suggested, rent of land, rent of blow team, price of grain and labor at $50 or $75 per month, and see what these figures reflect as to the prospective cost of producing the crop to be grown in 1919. This is just what the cotton farmers are busy do- ing all over the cotton belt today. Is it a less important matter to the cot ton trade?
 The significance of this outlook for labor, as it relates both to the amount produced and to the price realized for cotton in the future, looms larger as

fixed, it is understood will hold good for an indefinite time
 Now, as a matter of fact, the amount of the cotton crop grown by wage la bor is comparatively small and the come less; the laborer preferring to become a proprietor so far as owning the cotton is concerned. For this req son some people claim that the matter of wages is not an important factor in determining the cost or in determining the price of cotton. This appears to be nothing more than just a bit of sophis- try, which most of us are prone to re- sort to at times. to hide a disa gree able fact or shield some prejudiced opinion that we may be cherishing; for the final outcome whether the laborer receives a wage direct, or receives its equivalent in the price he realizes for his cotton
 Wages are only a simple and com mon sense method of measuring the price which would justify the laborer in growing cotton, whether the equiva- lent he expects amounts to $50, $75 or more than s100 per month. It is we'll to emphasize here that whatever may be the confusion as to the matter ex- isting in the minds of outsiders, there is absolutely none in the minds of those who perform the manual labor In making the cotton crops. There is one thing certain if the price for his cotton is not equal to a direct wage

COST OF COTTON
 LABOR THIS YEAR
By w. w. MORRISON

What will labor cost in producing the | cotton crop of next year? This is far more important question than it is probably realized to be by many of those it concerns the most People well informed as to conditions in the south know that the ultimate answer involves the welfare of the consumers far more seriously than it does that of the producers. This view is supported by the official records which show that the profit in agricultural pursuits of the cotton country which have brought enduring strength during re- cent years, have been derived in a steadily increasing degree from other products than cotton.
 It is claimed by some that this labor
 can be had for S30 per month. With
 various industries offering double. and
 in some instances as much as $75 to
 $1O0 per month, and more for the same
 class of labor, this claim hardly looks
 reasonable. Even could some be en-
 gagged at that price, it really looks i'm
 probable that a sufficient number could be secured in the face of such
 competition to make a crop that would
 meet the expanding demands which it Is reasonable that peace will bring. Such, for instance, as can be expected
 ;. October, 1920
 It is well eonugh to remember that
 rent of land. rent of blow animals and the price of grain consumed with la- Dor, make up the principal cost of growing cotton. Figured at the cur rent prices of these items, which it Is practically certain will continue through another year, and estimating labor at even S30 per month, it would
 show cost of approximately 23N cents per pound. As this is being written, October contracts are selling at P cents. If the outlook for prices should not decisively improve over these figures, is it not all together inn probable that sufficient cotton would be produced to meet the indicated de- mands of peace? Would it not be folly to assume that the south would produce an adequate crop at such an obvious loss?
 The truth is, there is nothing to warrant the claim that cotton labor can be had next season at $50 per month. To entertain such a belief is to entertain dangerous illusion. Tha indications point, rather definitely, to | 1t costing $75 per month and more. i This is definitely supported by the | repeated forecasts of the governmen. | as to the future wages for labor in l general. and by the readjustment of | the pay of employees on an upward | scale in instances where the govern. l ment authority extended This re- | adjustment has been put through, in | some cases. since peace. and he scale

our knowledge of these conditions In the interior throughout the cotton pro- ducing area becomes more intimate and more accurate. The trade generally, however. has at present only a confused idea regarding this outlook, if any idea at all, hence it is having only a neg ative influence on the market now. Next spring, when it's main features will be more definitely defined, this labor situation can be expected to be- come a dominant, and probably a de- termining, factor in shaping the course of prices.
 Both history and current evenes point to tn eholders of cotton in the south winning the fight now on. They have won every fight during the last six years and they are stronger now than ever before. In the last analysis, it IS better for every interest concerned that the south should decisively retain the control of the liquidation of the cot ton crops. Such a thing would improve the. chances of the supply of American cotton being kept on steadily increas- ing basis. If the liquidation passes into the hands of aliens, then the production of cotton will certainly go down.

WILL TALK PEACE
 AT SYDNEY NEXT
By Associated Press

Tokio, December 12.-The next Worlds Press congress has been called to take place at Sydney, New South Wales Australia, on November II, 1919, the first anniversary of the signing of ties in the world war. The date was decided by Dr. Walter Williams of Mis- Souri, the president of the congress. now in Tokio. and was agreed upon after the receipt by him of cable gram from William A. Holman, premier of New South Wales.
 The Press Congress of the World, which was organized in San Francisco in 1915, has journalistists of A coun- tries in it's membership. Owing to the war the 1918 session, arranged for Syd- ney, was postponed until the conclusion of the hostilities.
 The secretary-treas surer of the con gress is A. R. Ford, the president of the Dominion Press gallery at Ottawa, Canada. Each nation has two vice presidents.
 In his cablegram to Dr. Williams, Premier Holman said: The victorious end of the war reminds me of the great services the press has rendered in pro- noting and fostering that splendid in ternational harmony of peoples and of principles that alone made victory pos sible. I look to the early meeting of our congress as an occasion for com pleting this great work by promo ting better understanding throughout the world"
