Senator Knox's Great Speech
Against the League Plan.

Senator KNox's address against the
League of Nations plan is so able and
profound, so clear and explicit, re-
,veals such legal knowledge, radiates
such craftsmanship and is inspired by
such patriotism, that to read the last
single word or 1t as it Is printed in
full by THE Sun to-day could we'll be
called the first duty this morning of
every American citizen.
In the League document which
President WILSON has presented to
this nation for approval or disap-
proval there are not merely weak
points. inconsistent points, conflicting
points; there are points which lack
sense, points which are irrational,
points which are fatal. Upon every
one of them Senator KNOX puts his
finger unerringly. Without passion
but mercilessly. with the logic of the
great lawyer, the experience Of the
tried Secretary Of State, and the
sworn duty Of the responsible United
States Senator, he strips them all
down 70 their futility, nonsense or
danger.
The League, as 1t has been loosely
and crudely formulated, Is not a
league; it's small number of ma
tional units comforting upon them
selves the power as an international
tyranny to dominate large number
of national and tribal units. 1t has
no clear and specific methods of pro-
cedure. 1t has no rules. It's regula-
tons it can make as it sees fit to
make them. Its decisions it can reach
as 1t suits 1t to reach them. Its pen
altles it can impose as 1t is pleased TO
impose them. Its execution of those
decisions and Penalties it can enforce
as 1t feels like enforcing them.
But, while the Leagues constltu-
ton itself is mere tumble of words,
some of them meaningless, some Of
them incoherent, there does stand out
the distinct, the terrible fact that this
prevent war, could not prevent war.
This nation, on the contrary, could be
called upon, against its principles,
against the sacred ties of friendship
and blood, against the very laws of
GoD, to make war against some nation
It trusted and loved devotedly and In
behalf of some nation 1t mlstrusted
and desplsed.
Either these would be the obliga-
lions which we assumed and which
we should be In honor bound to fulfil,
or there would be nothing at all to the
League; for Senator KNOX repudates
with scorn the suggestion that we can
20 into the covenant, pledge ourselves
10 it, and then. IL we do not feel Like
living up. to our obligations, turn our
backs upon them. lie we'll says, his
appeal ringing with all the sincerity
that Is in American manhood, that IL
We do bind ourselves, in law or in
honor, we must not default when we
are called upon, commanded to do
what we have pledged ourselves to do,
though It be, In behalf OF naked bar
.lSsSl 7m or-af.G 'iized ggaR1, 10 pierce
the hearts OF those we honor and
those who are our next of kin.
II Senator KNox's address Is read
and understood by the American peo-
pie, as they should read and under
stand 1t before they consent TO the
sacrifice of our national birthright.
Mr.. WILSON'S League of Nations will
never become the super law and super
power over the Constitution OF the
United States and the sovereignty OF
the American nation.

The souls OF men convene
With spirits OF the mighty dead,
Whose glorious deeds to victory led
And haunt the judgment scene
And round tho statesmen IN debate
The magic mirrors ding
Swift visions OF the heroes slain
Who come back to the earth again
And shining counsel bring.

MESA. GEM CITY OF THE SALT RIVER VALLEY
WHAT COTTON HAS
 DONE ID VALUE OF
 LAND AROUND MESA

When the writer Of this article came to Mesa three years ago he was asked to address the Mesa commercial club. giving his views of the Salt River Val Icy. Having just arrived from Cali fornia and knowing of land values there. he said in the course of his re- marks that Mesa land should be bring ing s400 per acre. Inasmuch as the price at the time mentioned was around 500 10 s150. the speaker was politely informed by some of those present that he was indulging in a pipe dream.
 Present prices show that the state ment was correct. The trouble with the long time resident of the alley was that he did not realize all that the Roosevelt dam means Go this section. The fifty or sixty dollars per acre 10 be paid or the project. amed bigger to many than tho wonderful possibil- ties res Iltant upon an assured sup ply of water iu the finest growing climate on earth. Now with cotton at 15C. hay 1t Ssu00. maize and other
 
 Mesa farmer is a much cnvied man. and oven with prices dropping as they may and doubtless will in some years there is u splendid return to.be de- rived from land even at the present price
 similar conditions have arisen as to rentals Three years ago land was renting at around 80 per acre. Today there is an unlimited demand for land at a cash rental of form s25 to S35 per acre, and the man who leased land last year even at that high rate, made mon- cy on their crops
 Added Co tho other advantages aris- ing from the increased price of land IS the actual necessity forced on the farmer Co york his land to the very best possible advantage and to grow on it not only the most profitable crop. put To stock it with thoroughbred live stock This means that the farmer Wlu ind it Co his interest to grow only Ftma long staple cotton, and since this ulWays will be a dairy community to see that only the very best grades. or even more important. that registered cattle form the nucleus from which he shah grow his dairu herd.

CASH PAID FUR LABOR. BY LARGER GROWERS
 GREAT AID ID VALLEY

Attaway and Phelps, Rurup and Bond, II. l.. Chandler and J. w. Le- sueur represent the growers of the largest individual ownership and les sor acreage in the Mesa section. their paintings this year running from 100 70 - acres each. Figures compiled by all Of these men showing the amounts of money paid out by them Tor labor which money is in it's turn expended in Mesa, would be most in- teresting. However since the reader IS not likely to be interested in any extended set of figures, the disburse- inents by one grower, J. w. Lesueur, are interesting as an example of what lt being done in the way of furnish- ing employment for the laboring class.
 MT. Lesuegr put in 135 acres of cot ton Tor the season of 1918. In the mak ing Of the crop he paid out for labor alone in blowing and planting s797, for cultiVating and hoeing S1366, and for picking SI9OO. and for ginning, s1.S4O. making total of about s12.O0O ex- pended from this one farm. All of it TOO was paid out for straight labor. save the ginning and naturally. a large portion ot this later expense goes into paving the many employees of the gins. IT this one farm carrying but 135 acres turns loose this sum of money. nearly or quite s12.000, what must be the grand total from all the com1 hined acreage of the Mesa section. for there are but few farms running without one or more regular em- ployes during the entire growing sea . son, while during the picking. the employees are greatly multiplied in number.
 Thus can it be seen what a splendid investment is cotton growing not only Tor Mesa and the immediate vicinity. z but for the entire valley. It is a mag niticent thing Co be engaged in a call ing that furnishes a means of emplov- ment for the poor man and perhaps for others of the poor mans family Not the least in fact. by far the great est value of the manufacturing enter prises of the east is that they enable mon Co live. and no less true is it of the valley farmer. when through his acres he enriches not only himself but

COTTON GROWERS ARE GETTING INTO THE
 B|G CAME ID STAY

Investments in tractors, stalk cut ters. cultivators, and in fact every variety of horse drawn or tractor drawn farming implement indicates that the cotton farmers around Mesa are in the game to stay. The O. <. Stapley company state that their sales of cotton farming implements last year were double that of the year before, while the Attaway Latham company, a new store, say that their sales of like implements have far ox- ceeded their expectations. At least a hundred tractors are owned and op- erating in the Mesa and Gilbert sec tions. and the demand for these is steady. All of the various labor say ing and time saving machinery, neces- sary in the handling of large acreage and the economizing of man power, that is being bought, indicate nothing less than that Mesa farmers are go- ing 10 add their great part in making the Pima long staple indeed and in truth a staple crop of this valley. until such time as its splendid qualities shall become known to every mill own CT in the land, and the demand for 1t as a necessary commodity, becomes so sure that the question of profit in it's growing shall be permanently settled.
 While upon the question of profits, a word of warning to the growers, should be taken by them in all good part, viz: There should be no dis couragement in the growing of Pima cotton. even though the profits should not always maintain their high record reached during the war. It is not reasonable to believe that prices will be paid regularly such as will enable a man to pay a stiff price for piece of land and pay it out in three or four years. This class of profit has never existed permanently for either the farmer, the merchant, nor in fact for any other vocation where the profit partakes of a steady, reasonable na- ture rather than a sensational gamble. That cotton can be grown in, the val ley at such cost to the producer as will enable him to make an unusual and unexpected profit. at Ca cents, should enable that same producer to meet with calm patience any year when the price per pound may fall materially below that price. There are good and bad years for the merchant, the dairyman. the sheep man and the cattleman. Naturally the same condi- ton will arise for the cotton grower.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20
COTTON SEED AS FOOD?

Added to it's many other uses, several new ones are in prospect for the cot ton grown in the Salt River valley, for it is now predicted that soon the seed will be used for seed. Chemists are mixing cotton seed with wheat and corn, and grinding the whole into a flour which contains the proper food elements, but no effort has yet been made to place the product on the mar ket. There also are experiments in progress with the cotton stalk for pa per making; so it is likely that in time nothing will be left of the cotton crop after harvest, but the proceeds.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

The one thing to remember is that the man who pins his faith to the steady year by year growing of Pima cotton, will aid in the creation of d demand for his crop, which will help materially in assuring him a reason able profit each year.

Every farmer who employs at a good wage, a laborer, is in a sense philanthropst, and every laborer who joins heartily in the work of making the soil pro- duce it's best. at once takes rank as one of the worthy ones of earth. be- cause he aids in the production of the useful articles of life.
