Class Hatred Can't Win

~HE Editor was an inter-
ested listener at the meet
ing in the Hotel Kennewick park
held, as we understand, in the
interest of the proposed triple
alliance. We were interested,
first, because we fully agree
with the principal speaker in
his premise that there is great
industrial unrest in the United
States, and in the world, today,
and that some fundamental eco
nOmic changes must be worked
out before this unrest can be
appeased and allayed. We be-
lieve, too, that this spirit of UNI
rest can no longer be ignored.
Neither can it be COPIED with by
any program of antagonist. We
believe that the political parties
are attempting to camouflage
the real situation and to side
step the real big issue of the day
for the sake Of party supremacy.
We believe further that the hope
of the nation, and even of the
world, is rural America the ed
ucated, thrifty, thinking
people of our small cities, our
country towns and our farms.
We believe, however, that the
solution lies not with the paid
agitator, whose efforts are ex-
tended to arouse class conscious
ness, who breaches class hatred,
and whose appeal is to class pre-
JUDGES. The solution lies rath-
er with some program that will
appeal to the level-headed judg-

litical and economic practices


litical and economic practices
and methods as corrupt and UNI
sound, his reform program calls
for no change of methods but
merely a transfer of those meth
DDS from one class to another.
We heard the chief agitator say
eff man dares raise his voice
against the existing order Of
things he is branded as a bolshe-
vik; if a man disagrees with you
politically or otherwise, he is a
bolshevik; if a man eats pie with,
his knife or his wife wears a diff
ferent style dress from that of
your wife, he is a bolshevik
And when you have branded a
man a bolshevik, that's all there
is to it-he's an undesirable. !"
But almost in the same breath
we heard him brand everything
and everybody which falls not
within the loosely defined scope
of farmer" and '1aborer" as un-
desirables and deadwood in our
economic fabric. If man works
other than with his hands, or if
he works with his hands and
doesn't wear overalls, he belongs
to the interests if a section hand
works out his days with pick and
shovel, he's a valuable asset to
society, but if he saves his earn
ings, buys a peanut cart and sells
his wares, he aligns himself with
big business; as long as a print
er sticks to his stick and keeps
his name on the weekly payroll
he is a desirable citizen, but if
he buys a dinky print shop on
the installment plan, works Ia
hours a day instead of 8 and
hasn't anybody to hand him a
pay envelope every Saturday
night, he has become a fragrant
exponent of the kept press"
And in the dictionary of social
ism and radicalism "the inter
ests," s'big business" and kept
press" are synonymous with the
generally accepted definition of
bolshevism.
It's a crime against humanity
for anyone who is not a socialist,

D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carne-
gle, Armour, Dupont, ct al, by
slipping their culls into the bot
tom of the crate"
We heard the chief agitator
flay the politician, laud the farm
er and plead for the voters of
this county to send a farmer to
the legislature. Then we recall
ed, that a few days before, on an
unusually hot afternoon, we had
stood under the friendly fan in
a local pool room and watched
last years defeated farmer"
candidate, who by the way, is
one of the leaders in the pres
ent movement, enjoy himself and
his ample cigar, at the pinochle
table. From the pool room we
went to the home of Gordon c..
Moores. We found Benton coun-
tvs member of the kept" and
Controlled" legislature pitching
hay with the thermometer kick
inc up a fuss at ITO in the shade.
So, now we wonder just where
to draw the line Of demarkation
between the farmer and polite
ian. According to the chief agi-
tator the two can have nothing
in common. AS nearly as we can
get ct it the man who chronical-
ly believes that the country has
all gone to hell, that our govern
ment is one prolonged orgy of
graft, the man who haunts ev.'
cry political campaign, whether
precinct or presidential, is a
II, mer, while the man who is
elected to some office, discharges
the duties of that Office and de-
.otes the rest of the time to
working on his farm, is a poll
tit.ian. We heard the chief ae-
itator say: 1--WE are going to put
farmers in every Office from gov
ernor down." We heartily en-
do's Sc such a program, provided
the candidates are real, honest
to-goodness farmers, and not
petty political dabblers, who are
everything but farmers.
One trouble with the propos-
ed program is that while the agi-
tator denounces present day po-

impulses of early last fall are reviv-
ing and that new high prices are yet
to be marked on the board.
However, one of the chief things
Southern farmers should guard
against is allowing any material in
crease in the price of cotton in the
next two months change their deter
mination to cut the acreage. For, af-
ter all, it may be only a bum steer"
in order to trap them into planting a
big acreage. Remember last year,
when cotton scared to SO cents a
pound by the first of April, the bot
tom fell out of the market within few
weeks as the result of the big acreage
and glowing crop prospects. South
ern farmers, you have been taught the
lesson of overplanting cotton too Of
ten to- have to re-experience by-gone
days.

COTTON EXPORTS
CLIMBING; PASS
FIGURES OF 1918
By Victor Barron
market Correspondent of The Times
Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Feb. 22.-Had it not
been for the unjustified bear raid on
the market Tuesday, resulting in val
ues tumbling more than S. bale,
bulls in the cotton market this week
would have won a glorious victory,
but as it was the week ended with fu-
lures in both markets exhibiting trifl-
ing changes. Final prices on the New
York exchange Friday were Is points
higher to % points lower than the
close of last Saturday, while values at
Now Orleans stood 1 point off to 2S
points higher.
Even New York admitted that the
big break in the week was the direct
work of professionals who grasped
the opportunity to hammer won values
when a few weak longs attempted to
realize. Their aggressive selling
caught stop orders, which helped the
decline. The purpose of the attack
was to dislodge spot holders. 1t also
proved that the market still remains
subject to manipulation and until
some real bull leader takes things in
charge the bear element will continue
to stampede longs at every opening.
1t did not require any length of time
to brace the market and soon shorts
took to their heels and covered when
foreign and domestic trade houses.
spot firms and commission houses
commenced to buy with pronounced
confidence and determination to ra-

gain control of the reins.


Decidedly optimistic trade advices
from England and more favorable
trade news from domestic goods con-
Germs, together with the collapse OF
the labor unrest movement in this
country, prospects Of early removal
of the cotton embargo, steadily in
creasing exports, strong spots, grow
ing determination to reduce this years
acreage SO 1-3 per cent. and continued
steadfastness Of spot holders, con-
tributed the bulwark OF strength back
of the upward movement hich car
ried values within sight Of the high
levels of Tuesday late in the week.
March recoiled to 2340 on Friday,
against 22.15, the low of Wednesday,
while May rebounded to $3.50 Thurs
day, or las points above the previous
days low. Other options rose 127 to
143 from the lows. A similar regain
was recorded at New Orleans.
One of the leading incentives back
of the rebound was the refusal of
Liverpool to participate in the break
on this side. Strength in the foreign
market, according to cables, was due
to active Manchester conditions and
covering of straddles.
In addition to this, further rains
over the belt, delaying crop prepara-
lions, and cancellation of fertilizer or
ders, worked in favor of the advance.
Another important item in the
weeks events was the news that bank
ers are combining to establish export
credits to develop trade relations Fiji
ty million dollars credit already has
been opened to Belgium, with the
agreement that the credit must be US
ed for the purchase of material in this
country.
With Belgium's cotton mills largely
intact, it is reasonable to expect that
she will buy a goodly portion of her
much-needed cotton Immediately.
France, Great Britain and Spain were

reported to be in the market accum-
nlating future contracts and foreign
ers are said to be quietly buying all
the actual they can get in the belt,
paying the buyers price.
At the cotton convention at New Or
leans practically the same resolu-
tions as were adopted at the Macon
meeting were passed, and those at
tending the meeting state that it was
attended by representatives from eV-
cry cotton growing state in the belt,
and that there was complete harmony
, of determination towards the reduc-
ing of acreage, less use of fertilizer
and protection against consumers tao
tics of cheapening the raw material
cost by policy of retarded buying and
restricted buying.
Exports for the week totaled 1890
bales, as compared with 82,864 bales
the same period year ago. This
brought the total amount shipped
abroad so far this season up to 1925
836 bales, or 1926 bales ahead of the
previous corresponding PERIOD, S97.-
$50. Exports since the armistice was
signed have steadily increased. On
November the total outgo stood 416,-
900 bales less than the previous cor
responding period. On January 3, the
decrease was 100000 bales, but now
the comparison shows a substantial
increase. From now on exports will
increase and there are not few who
anticipate the seasons outgo will come
near 100000 bales. The present sea-
son ends July 81.
Just the moment the peace treaty is
signed, the embargo will be lifted off
cotton. but Southern representatives
at Washington or Wilson's arrival will
tender him a petition signed by them
all, appealing to him to Immediately
raise the ban and allow world compe-
tition for the staple.
Looking at the market from every
angle, it seems as though the bullish

YOUNG FARMERS BUSY
WITH GARDENS
Secure Funds Through Their
Own Efforts

Lack of funds due to failure of the
State Legislature to pass the Farm

members of the Newark Garden Club.
This group of boys and girls who
have for several years put up a stiff
fight against the universal enemy Old
General Highcpstofliving would not
even consider an armistice covering
the period between sessions Of the
lawmaking body. They Immediately
began a reconnaissance with a view
to finding out how the matter Of seed
ing might be financed. With the adj
vice and assistance of their friends
they conducted very successful

over $50.
insufficient help in the Extension
Department where the number of
those available for aiding in this work
has been reduced from eight to three,
made it impossible to conduct the gar
den work with the large number that
applied. Only those experienced in
the work, therefore, who are able to
proceed without very much supervis-
ion, are included in the list of club
members this year.

Sydney Hoffman, Edward Kelley. IT.

Reed, Abram Hoffman, Herman Rem
shaw, John Morrison and Lewis
Greene, all veteran farmers, consti-
tute the rank and file of this years
army of young agriculturists. Miss
Agnes Medill is the leader.
As soon as the cost of the seed can
be definitely determined, and other
necessary expenses provided for, a
prize list will be arranged. In, all
probability a trip for the whole club
will constitute the chief award.
Each afternoon after school and
every evening when weather condi-
tons permit, these ambitious lads
with business-like precision that be-
speaks excellent preliminary training,
and augurs we'll for the success of
their crops, apply themselves to the
business of scientific farming.
The plot in the rear of Wolf Hall
used for several seasons by the Club.
is shared this year with a group of
experimental farmers from the col
lege. The ground is in excellent shape
and the cessation of the rains of the
past few weeks has permitted the
boys to forge ahead rapidly with the
work of seeding.

TREATMENT OF REPORTERS
At CONFERENCE

The Conference planned to admit
r. newspaper men, but such howl
was set up that concessions were
finally made whereby a grudging
peep was permitted. He gave a
graphic account Of the physical sur
roundings at the Quai D. Orsay,
the arrangement Of delegates about
the peace table and the dramatic
moment when in the presence of
two of the most cynical groups Of
men in the world, diplomatists and
journalists, President Wilson adj
dressed the Conference, and the
League Of Nations was born and
given to the world.

COVENANT" ! New WORD
IN DIPLOMACY

He dwelt most feelingly upon the
significance Of the word "Covcn-
ant, " borrowed from the Old Tesla
ment, and introduced into diplo-
matte language by President Will
son. lie expressed regret that the
machinery of the League was put
first in the covenant, secuted the
idea that the sovereient V of any
state was jeopardized, emphatically
state that the League machinery
was III no way the master but de-
cidedly the servant Of the nations.
He discussed in detail, the 20
articles of agreement, proving con-
clusively that to the majority of
them the Senate has agreed in prev
iOus treaties and asking dramatical-
~ after each one, "Can the United
States Senate reasonably object to
this?"
He reviewed the Italian Difficult
ty and expressed qualification at the
outcome, commended open di-
plomacy and made an eloquent plea
in the name of the nation s dead
that they shall not have died in
vain, +" but that every freeborn
American do his utmost to bring
about the Brotherhood Of Man by
support Of the measure. He de-
nounced in scathing terms those
who in this crisis are urging the
nation to play safe and stated en-
phatically with indisputable proof
that without the United States
there can be no League of Nations.
He refuted the arguments Of the
opposition who claim Washington s
support by quotations to prove
Washington's stand in a similar
crisis and closed with an eloquent |
tribute to President Wilson, the
criticism of whom, he even as
dyed-in-the-wool Republican, could
not understand. He designated the
President as the only man in Paris
who is 100 per cent disinterested
and closed with the plea, "For
