from La Huerta,N and was taken out

there will be as many as 5000 bales
of cotton ginned this year on the four
gins on the Carlsbad project, which
will bring in a million dollars to the
men growing it.
After a week of operation, Superin-
tendent Poore of the Carlsbad public

Who Gets the Money

Our MIR. Neel raised az acre Of
cabbage on his Cumberland Pla-
teau farm this year. Nashville
dealers offered him $l3 q ton fori
t. o. b. his shipping point. The
freight to Nashville from there
is 81 a ton. making the cabbage
cost them $40 q ton, or one cent
q pound, delivered here. The
day he got this offer he went to
the city market and asked the
retail price Of cabbage. II was
6 cents q pound!
That may be an extreme case,
but it is BY no means an isolated
one. What the producer gets
for farm produce is too often
only q fraction Of what the con-
|sumer pays. In this case the
producers share of the con-
sumer's dollar was less than one
ninth. Yet there are people
who think they are informed
still talking about the excessive
profits the farmer is making.

oKoLoNA MISSISSIPPI THURSDAY FEBRUARY 1919

CharIemanse and julius C'nr ar
and nerce barbaric chieitains
whose names and deeds and very
existence have been forgotten.
This war Is like some great
storm that floods the valleys
and Ijlows down the tall
est trees Of the forest. For
a time the whole face of the
earth seems to have been chang
ed. but tumult passes, the sky
shows again, the streams run
clear between their banks, the
vines aid leaves cover the fallen
kink Of the woods. The sun
shine and the breeze, springtime
and autumn keep their wonted
comings and goings, and the
great serenities of nature remain
forever undisturbed. Catastro-
phic as the war now seems, it
win take its place in the minds
Of men with the misty legends
Of Troy and the shadowy pictures
fancy paints of hundred-gated
3.
Vhebes and Tadmor in the
wilderness.
Let US not, therefore, think
that the war was won in vain or
that the men who died in it died
to no avail That such a war
could bIacken the face of the
world ara that with the coming
Of the white dawn Of peace it
must come to be only as a tale
that il tia, is really an evidence
Of the trpth Of our belief that
the worth is not purposless and
that our 5fe in the world is not
an idle hing. That humanity
can SO struggle with itself is
reason fox believing that human
ity is evolving for itself a desti-
ny beautiful and grand beyond
any conception we can have.
That SO rany men have been
giliiA that jcstice and
truth might live among men is
reason sound for faith in the
divinity Of every man for be-
Iieving that to each of us life
and death are but incidents.
We live and we die, but We
somehow know that neither life
nor death is without its purpose
and its reward, that the end Of
all is good, and
That nothing walks with aim
less feet,
That not one life shall be de-
stroped
Or cast'as rubbish to the void, |
When God hath made the pile
complete"

The Great Days in Which
We Live

a
Its a privilege to be alive to-
day to be able to bear a part in
working out the problems
brought tc humanity BY what il
probably the greatest single
change ever wrought in human
affairs. We have seen such days
as the world knows seldom in
course Of centuries. We are
contemporaries of men whose
fame will endure. No man may
speak in the future Of Napoleon
without thinking Of Foch. Nor
can any thoughtful man question
that the place occupies in our
history by the President who
made himself the spokesman Of
the forces Of civihsation and who
voiced the hopes add the aspira-
tions of the humble and the op-
pressed of all lands, will be less
lofty than we have accorded our
greatest.
It is good to have seen the end
of the war. and to be alive. It
may be-who knoWs?-even bet
ter to have died in it, to have
given ones self, as thousands Of
Americans and millions Of our
Allies did, to save the world Of
today from a thousandfold repe-
tition of the horrors Belgium
knew and-let us believe to
make impossible the recurrence
of such q war and such horrors
in all the days that are yet to be.
II is hard for us not to pity
the dead, hard for us to recon-
cile ourselves to their loss Of life
and our loss Of them. And truly
it is a pitiable thing that the
world could be saved only by
such a sacrifice to its old idols Of
force and greed. Yetit remains
true as Of old that he who loses
his life shall find it, and if we
have faith in the justice Of the
uniyerse-and this IS the one
true faith in G0d-we must feel
and know that not one Of these
men died ID vain, and that deald
to them was no calamity.
There has been no war 70 COM
pare with this one, yetit is after
all but an episode in the great
story Of human develop nent.
In Flanders fields the poppies
grow red with the blood not
only Of the men who died in this
struggle, but also with the blood
Of the men who followed or
fought against Napoleon and

it be doubted that in refusing to do this earlier
and in taking the extraordinary steps he has
steps that are irregular in the sense that they
are unexampled and unprecedented in our or,
ganic law--the president has invited bitter
criticism and has put congress In state OF
mind which seems certain to make the coming
session momentous if not acrimonious in the eN-
IRENE.
There is every probability that there will be
Investigations which the president cannot con
troll and that actions of some Of cabinet adj
visors will be repudiated and reversed. There
easily may be bills that will challenge his veto.
His future appointees will have to be men who
command the confidence of the country. Ger
tain policies and tendencies OF his administra-
ton, like those towards state socalization and
the exaltation of the executive at the expense
of the Legislative branch of government, will be
checked. The era of reckless expenditure will
be over Of this we may be sure: congress will
not adjourn before fixing the day on which it
will reconvene. 1t will not again be impotent
to assemble when it feels that the nations IN
terests demand that it should. That condition
of affairs will be a finished chapter in Ameri-
can political life.

WILHELM TO THE BAR.

In spite of American opposition the peace
conference decided to publicly arraign the for
mer kaiser and bring him to trial before a spe-
cial tribunal not for offenses against the Grim
Iinal law but for supreme offense against IN
telnational morality. Our commissioners ar
gued against this course in vain, for it COM
mends itself to the sense of Justice of mankind.
Little by little the conference decided by
majority vote the questions on which there was
dispute and our commissioners were often If
not usually overborne and left protesting fu-
itilely in untenable positions. Americans are
the last who can find fault with this, for it IS
the basic doctrine of our republic that the Wis
dom of the majority surpasses the wisdom OF
one or Of few and should prevail. Of course
lit is always conceivable that the enlightened
small group may be nearer right than the ma
jority and may be standing for a conception
Ito which the world will grow. And here we
have further evidence that the ideal is unwork-
able in world that is not ideal In this par
Iticular case however, the instinct of the vast
majority that the former kaiser should be tried
and punished is clearly right. If the enormity
of his otfenses and his unique high position pro
tect him, on what theory can offenders In
humber walks of life be held responsible for
their lesser crimes7 If the nations confess their
powerlessness to punish frightful turpitude on
an appalling scale, they invite repetition Of
such monstrous crimes.
