Phoenix tribune., 1920-05-22

1t has been discovered in Alabama
that the colored farmers are discon-
tinuing the old-time practice of knock
mig off work every Saturday to "go to
town" By some uncanny means the
colored man and brother has made
the discovery that laying off on Sat
urdays doesn't pay in these times
Therefore he is working on Saturdays
saving his money, sending his chill
dren TO school with some of the saw
ings, and taking a more general in
terest than was his wont in other
times to the part he is to play in the
saving Of the world for democracy. In
the classic language of the late
lamented Billy Kersand, I'VE is grow
in mo lax white folks ev'y day"
The Chicago Tribune recalls that
in May 1918, ghastly crime was
committed BY Negro soldiers at Camp
Grant against a white woman All
too true. But why "white?" Why
not WOMAN? l am calling attention
to this contemplate piece of narrow
pettiness on the part of the worlds
greatest, because WOMAN" is the
question at issue and not white or
lack" anything Rape is a horrible
crime whether it is committed by
white or black fiend. Death is none
too good Tor this class of criminal.
American WOMANHOOD without re-
gard to race, creed or color is the sa-
cred object that must be preserved at
all hazards. | make no argument
that the soldiers who were declared
guilty of a heinous crime by jury
CT their peers should not meet with
the death penalty. | simply call to
the notice OF any who are to listen
that woman is a woman whether she
be white or black For ''great news

does some very small things.

STATESMEN VS.. POLITICIANS

After telling a pretty little story
boosting the Sunshine City, Con.
gresham Drane said in opening his
speech at the Democratic rally Mon
day night:
But l am not here to boost st .
Petersburg; I am here to present the
cause Of one Of the great political
parties-for there are, always have
been and always will be two great
political parties in this country. AMI
l believe it is we'll that there should
be two political parties to compete
and counteract and check each other
So we are here to discuss which OF
these parties by its organization and
platform now is best-best for the
people-best for you and for me-"
That is the position and language
o! a statesman-for Congressman

trickery or political malice or polit
ical Misrepresentation. He does no.
deal with men, but with principles.
He recognizes the right Of every cit :
zen to hold and pronounce his own
opinions, and always relies upon facts
and reason to uphold his own posi-
ton and convert his hearers. 1t IS
really refreshing, after the state cam
paign of rough-neck blatherskite pol
itics, to hear an address such as Mr.
Drane delivers.
What is said here of Congressman
Drane may as truthfully be said OF
Senator Fletcher and of Governor-to
be Carey Hardee. Florida is fortunate
in having such men as her represen
tatives at the national and state cap
itals. Every citizen can support such
men with pride and clear conscience
without regard to party politics -

SOCIETY SHOCKED

New York society writers are tax

ity to display the snobbishness which
is one Of the outstanding features Of
that great and democratic metropolis.
This time the occasion is the marriage
of a high society lady to park police
man.
One would think by this time such
messalliances would cease to attract
attention. We have had reports Of So
ciety girls marrying chaufeurs. jock
eys. needy Office assistants and such
like to surfeit; but the policeman al
lance comes as a variation. and the
New York papers are spelling hun
dreds of dollars worth Of good white
paper with It.
But what is there in such a wedding
to excite COMMENT The bride is de-
scribed as a good, sensible girl. of full
voting age. and devotee of outdoor
life; her husband it admitted to be a
good policeman and "a fine fellow
What on earth is there about their UNI

happiness.
Besides, one never knows what a
young man of character and ambition
will do. AT least one estimable lady
refused to marry a railsplitter who aft
erwards became the most loved char
acter Of the whole nation. A certain
family named Dent strenuously object
ed to the wedding Of their daughter to
a tanner on the verge of bankruptcy
but they lived to consider it the high
est honor Of their lives to touch the
hem of his garment. And so it goes,
Cupid is blind but his instincts are

distinctions and follow the dictates Of
their hearts, are building wiser than

The Cotton Acreage
 Must Be Lover is the
 Opinion of Hsr, Knaps

~
 Washington Feb, 19.-An increased acreage in cotton this year is out of the question, saccording to Dr. Brad ford Knapp, who recently resigned as chief of the office of extension Norh in the south withl the department of az riculture, to become dean of the col leges Of agriculture, University of Ar kansas.
 "The experience of 1919 ought to teach southern5 cotton farmers that they cannot. handle, with their pres ent supply of labor, an increased acre age in cotton; the labor is not there, y writes Dr. Knapp ill one of his last works before leaving the department of agriculture, entitled Safe Farming in the Southern States in 1920.'
 By safe farming says Dr. Knapp, "is meant system which maintains soil fertility, produces the food and feed for the people and livestock in sufficient quantities. to insure a com fortable surplus, and produces cotton as. a strictly cash crop" &
