TEXAS RANCE
OUTLOOK GOOD
Former President of Cattle
Raisers' Association Is
Optimistic.

Houston. Tex, Aug. ia n Nc
Fadden. Of Victoria, former president
OF the Texas CattlA Raisers' assoeia-
tion. is optimistic about the prospects
OF cattle men this year. who. he says.
are enjoying a season Of prosperity
such as has not been experienced for
10 years, with better range results
in wei fattened beeves throughout
the season
Range was never better in IeXaS,
said Mr.. MCFadden. for we have an
abundance of both grass and water
BY reason Of the previous drouthy
season, cattle had been sold off rather
close last season Then came the
rains. which brought a winter growth
of weeds. on which the cattle wintered
well and came through in good con-
dition TO take on flesh when the grass
came This enabled US to begin the
movement Of beef cattle in March and
the greater part Of them were
approximately go. 900 head Of cattle
we're shipped to northern markets so
far this season from southwest Texas
1T is true tbEre has been a con-
siderable decline in the price Of large
well fattened beeves as shown by the
fact that this class brought Il cents
in April, whereas they are now bring
ing about Il TO - cents. / consider
the present figures a fair price while
the fact is that Il cents is abnOrmally
high.
The outlook for winter range Isl

The Circus Fooled Him

personally began with the idea that
 people might be hired and good work gained from them. declares Julian S. Carr, IT, Tn System, The Magazine of business. MT Carr, who is president of the Dur nam Hosiery Mills, goes on: I thought Tn my youth that rules made order and that a certain military discipline was es- sentlal; that it was foolish to humor peo- pie and all that nor was going to recog-
 nlze certain local traditions about days on which no work should be done For instance, l made up my mind that quit
 ting work to go to the circus was not in accord with the best industrial practices.
 The first circus came to town about three months after we took charge of the
 mil and Twas keen for the test. We post
 ed positive order that the regular hours of work were to be observed on that day
 and that any person who went off to the
 circus would be discharged. The full force

 day of the circus and I wen home to

MAJORITY AGAINST TT

We oppose the adoption of this amend ment because the vast majority of the white women of Alabama do not want it. We oppose it because we believe that women can exercise better and greater
 influence upon the race, and contribute
 more fully to it's development and it's
 progress by remaining supreme in their own peculiar sphere than they can by
 invading yours; because we believe that
 to adopt it will nullify the work of those
 wise and patriotic men who have purified
 the ballot box from the contamination of
 negro votes, or from the fraud necessary
 to keep them out; because we believe
 in you and trust you, and know that in
 the laws which you make and in your
 administration of the public affairs, we
 will find a solicitude for our rights and
 our happiness which we ourselves could
 not exceed.
 We revere the traditions of the south
 and of the democratic party, and the
 fundamental principle of both has been
 and still is, local self government To
 that principle both have been true
 through many weary years of discour- agement and defeat. The unterrified de-
 mocracy came again to power because it stood. in the face of all discoura gements
 for the principles in which it believed How strange, then, 1t is that some of those who are high in it's councils, who are in honor bound by its platform which still declares against this amendment presume to urge upon you to abandon principle for expediency. When they do so, they ask you to cease to be demo- crats because the existing pronounce ment of the supreme authority of the party condemns this amend ment We, your countrywomen, bone of your bone, and blood of your blood, say to you that such an appeal is discreditable to him who makes it, and seeks to dishonor him to whom it is made We who know you would feel ashamed to ask you to stand immovable for principle. We know you will do that, but we do ask you to make such a reply by your vote to that appeal which assumes you to be time serving weddings. that no other man or high official will assume again to hold you in such contempt.
 Gentlemen, our welfare is in your hands. You may, if you will, thrust us from the quietude of our homes into the contaminating atmosphere of political struggle, but we feel the strong assur- ance that in your protecting care we, | our institutions and our sheltering laws are safe; and that you, on our behalf as well as your own, will decline to surren- l der our great states control of her own | electorate into hands that may be re- | gardless of our welfare, our happiness. our safety and our great traditions Re l spectfully, Womans Standardization | Executive Committee.

THE OPPOSITION STATEMENT


 THE OPPOSITION STATEMENT The statement of the opposition ir full follows:
 Gentlemen of the Legislature of Ala. bama:
 Permit us, if you please. as the re- presentatives of the wishes and views of more than eighty per cent of the white women of Alabama, to express tc you our thanks for the opportunity which you have so courteously offered to us to appear before you in this joint session in opposition to the ratified ton by you of the proposed woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
 We do not avail ourselves of the op- portunity thus offered because. in the first place, we feel that when that unappy time has come when the women of Alabama have to plead with the men of Alabama not to thrust them against their wills into the conflicts, the dis sensions and the coarSening atmosphere of politics, the men of Alabama will have become so changed from that splendid race to whom we have so long looked to stand between us and the rough things of life, that our wishes and our welfare will have become thing to which they are indifferent: and, in the second place. to appear before you to argue political question in which the discussion may become acrimon- ious,~ would be to do the very thing which, in opposing this amendment, we seek to avoid having thrust upon us Moreover, 1t would be personally en- barrassing to us, in a high degree, to assume the unfamiliar and distasteful role of political gladiators.
 We are not politicians nor political de- baters, and we seek no laurels upon the huslings nor upon the floor of this house. We are home keepers and the mothers of children, and we seek to dis charge our duty to our country and to the cause of civilization and right living not by voting and holding office, but by making homes in which love and peace and happiness dwell, and by insulting into our children love of their country and devotion to high ideals. We seek to remain such and we look with con fidence to you, in whom the high tradi- tions of the south still live, to protect us from this device of northern aboli- tionists, which, if adopted, will, it seems to us, be not only debasing in it's effect upon the womanly character, not only productive of discord in the sweet har- nony of the family circle, but will also inevitably result in striking down those barriers which you and your fathers nave raised between Anglo-Saxon civili- zation and those who would mongrelize and corrupt it.

WHAT DO THEY WANT2

THERE is lire in Congress" the head
l. lines say, because of Secretary Dan.
iess suggestion for larger navy.
There is IRE" in the Senate because of
the Presidents suggestion for a League of
Nations.
How many newspaper readers will real.
ize that they are viewing the stage ire of
the "willful" group which seems nowadays
to represent neither the Republican nor
Democratic party nor the United States?
If there is to be no League of Nations.
there must be large navy. No one who
thinks at all questions this.
What we should like to know now is
whether the incurable enemies of Mr..
Wilson's foreign policies are willing to ex-
paEd their war on the President to a degree
that will make it a war on the country.
