LEVINE, THE GREAT.

A MT. Washington Vanderlip, just back from Russia with tale of big trade possibilities with that country, says Lenine is the greatest man in the world. Lenine must have cross ed his palm with a bit of silver. We doubt whether MT. Vanderlip will be accepted as a competent authori- ty in this case. He likens Lenine unto Washington and Lincoln. But neither Washington nor Lincoln would have countenanced, much less participated in, the crimes and ter TOT which have characterized the Russian government under such arch-friends as Lenine and Trotzsky.
 Much may have been said of the atrocities committed by Lenine that was not true, but great deal of it must have been true, for it has been told by unbiased and unprejudiced witnesses, if not to the actual crime itself, to much of its resultant war and terror.
 In his defense of Lenine we are afraid that this man Vanderlip is actuated more by the thought of gain than by desire to tell the truth
 It will take a greater man than Washington Vanderlip and one who is not intrigued in business with the man he seeks to give character to make us believe that Lenine is other than the fiend incarnate which so many writers have painted him.
 In his particular field Lenine is, no doubt, a great man, else he would never have achieved the place of power in Russia which is now his.
 But for a man claiming to be an American citizen to liken him unto such characters as Washington and is little less than blasphemy.

COTTON MEET AT MEMPHIS

The issue has been made; the con- test is on. We can no longer dodge behind private interests in order to escape the hurtful blows. The bank CT and the merchant cannot assume the attitude of an onlooker, arrogat- ing to themselves safety and securi- ty, while the fight is on. They are now in, heart and soul with the farm CTS, in an organized effort that must and will move solidly and continu- eusly until relief can be obtained. It can be done and it will be done. Salvation from financial ruin de- mands it; the social, educational and religious betterment of the entire country requires it. There has never been therefore, need so imperative and so great but what remedy has been found. Our people are wise enough, loyal enough and big enough to work out their own salvation, and to bring to themselves an era of sane farming and correct financieering.
 It is believed that this will be done without doubt at the Cotton Conven- ton to be held in Memphis, Decem- Der 7-8, 1920. The greatest con- 5tructive minds of the entire South will be in attendance to confer and work out plan that will be simple, yet comprehensive.
 There is not an over production, as all will admit, although there may be an inability of certain portions of the world to buy and pay for the raw material There is therefore, no ap- parent need for the world to be with out clothing, and the cotton produc- ing states of the United Staes to sus- tain financial losses, and that is the reason why you are called together to confer.
 We have not the time to sit down and find fault with the failures of the past, whatever the causes might have been. Speedy action, all to- gether, with not thought of let up is what is needed. This is not a cry of wolf, when there is no wolf; he si at every door in the South.
 We are expecting the governors and agricultural commissioners of ev- cry Southern state in which cotton is grown; the bankers, merchants and farmers from every town, city and country in the South to attend.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-02

matter of failure to reduce the acreage are the large growers-the men who put in from 500 acres of cotton up.
 All of these planters are forced to borrow large sums from the banks each year to finance their operations. If the bankers will cur tail the operations of these large planters they will go a long ways toward solving the problem of acre age reduction.
 Of coures, the man who is able to finance himself can plant as much cotton as he pleases. But the bank CT and the supply merchant have it in their power to limit the acreage of cotton by refusing to extend the necessary credit.
 A large crop of cotton in 1921 might prove even more disastrous than it has in 1920.
 Put the screws on the big planters who have been in the habit of bor- rowing all the money the banks could stand and leaving nothing for the borrower in other lines.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-02
REDUCING THE ACREAGE

On December and 8, meeting of bankers and cotton men will be held in Memphis to start move ment looking to the reduction of acreage to be planted to cotton.
 There is large amount of cotton left over from last year. This year large crop has been raised and the spinners are not buying except in very limited quantities. The price has dropped to comparatively noth- ing and even those who are willing to let go of their cotton at the pres ent prices are finding few takers.
 It is therefore evident that some thing will have to be done to keep the farmers of the South from pro- ducing a large crop during the next season and further complicating the situation.
 The reduction movement has been tried before with but little success. Planters were perfectly willing to rledge themselves to the reduction of the acreage, but they were slow in performance.
 It looks as though drastic measures will have to be adopted in order to have the desired effect.
 Among the worst offenders in the

THE SCHOOL TAX.

A recent notice says the Stuttgart school district will pay 24 mills for school purposes, which is just double the amount allowed by law. A com mission should be appointed to de- termine how much is necessary for school purposes and that amount should be made the law.
 This thing of having to run around and get signers to a petition to in- crease the rate of taxation savors of smallness. A sufficient tax should be provided to run the schools ade- quately for nine months or the term of school should be cut down to con- form to the present tax Of course, this latter would be backward move but it would be infinitely better to have good school for six months than an inferior one for nine months.
 If we have good schools it should n't matter how much it cost, and we have heard of but few charges of graft in connection with the public school system of the country.
 Money spent for education is money well spent and ten dollars or so year additional should not raise the objections it does. Many men could save that much each year by cutting out their joy rides for about three Sundays a year. Others could save it by cutting off one cigar or one coa cola day. In act, many of us spend more for amusement than we do for education.

as the male of the species, but she certainly shines when it comes to questions of education.
 If it were not for woman's work and woman's influence in educational matters our public school system would be in a deplorable condition.
 The foundation work of education has been entrusted almost wholly to women and in our public schools today there are about 10 female teachers to one male. And they have done their work we'll. While our educational system is far from per- feet the blame does not lie with the women and now that they have been granted universal suffrage, we ex- pect to see a great improvement in this direction.
 There are many women in the country just as capable as men in directing the affairs of government, or will be after they have had little more experience in public life.
 Women are taking large place in the industrial and economic life of the country and their sphere is gradually widening.
 We also note that Senator Ken yon of Iowa has drafted bill for a social welfare bureau and in this work the women will find field for their talents.
 Many women have more time to give to the study of affairs of state than most men and if their inclina- tions turn in that direction it would not be surprising if they outstripped their brothers in statecraft.
 We have a great many men and women both of what is called the leisure class who, if they were dis posed to give their energies to the matter of studying statecraft, could be of great benefit to the state and nation. But too many of these are engaged in chasing the godess of pleasure to give any thought to study ing the real needs of their country.
 But now that the women have re- ceived the right of suffrage you can wager that they are going to fit themselves to vote as intelligently as the men.
 And sometimes We are forced to the conclusion that if they don't do any better than the men have done they might just as well not have been given the right to vote.

THE CRIME WAVE

Why this great crime wave that is now sweeping over the country :? Every few years we have wave of this kind, but this one exceeds in intensity anything that has yet been known.
 Robbers, murderers and thieves are running rampant over the country and no man knows when his life or his property is safe. Lives are taken, banks are footed and pedestrians are held up on the streets with with impunity and the law seems utterly powerless to stop it.
 It may be the result of a restless ness created by the recent war, be- cause the unrest is worldwide. Europe seems to be a seething eouldron and it's inhabitants would be ready to plunge into another war if their resources had not been practically used up in the one just closed.
 But some solution to the present condition must be found and speedi- ly, else chaos and destruction of our institutions of government will re- suit.
 Some people argue that one cause of this condition which confronts us today is brought about by the hordes of foreigners which have invaded this country and which we have fail ed to assimilate. This might apply to the east where these foreigners have gathered in large numbers, but what of the unrest here in the South where there are comparatively few foreigners?
 The burning of gins, the murders, the robberies, they cannot be laid at the door of the foreign element. But it is true, too, that this satur- nalia of crime has not reached the extent in the South that it has above Mason & Dixon line.
 w liliC SISdI been thrown out of employment re- gently, yet it has not been long enough ago that they have been urged by the pinch of hunger, for there are no bread lines, no free soup kitchens, no cry of hunge1 from the unemployed.
 It seems to be a movement for which there is no reason of expla- nation and from the success the forces of law and order are having in combating it, it seems that it will simply have to wear itself out.
 But it does seem that we are not improving present conditions in this country just now by admitting thousands of foreigners daily, be- cause out of all these thousands there are bound to be many unde- sirables, and under present condi- tions we seem to have enough people to carry on the business of the country.

OUR NEW GOVERNOR.

In little more than month Thomes c. McRae will take his seat as governor and we shall see whether the governor has any power to put over the reforms which he has ad- vocated
 MT. McRae is getting too far along in life to take any interest in poli- tics for the sake of politics. He cannot expect during his two or four years in the govrnor's chair, to build up a political machine for his own aggrandizement. At his age political power would mean nothing, so we are willing to take him at his word and believe that in desiring to become governor he was actuated solely by hope that he could be of some service to the state before he finally laid down the burdens of business.
 His methods of campaigning prov ed that he was a shrewd reasoner and his success in life proves that he is a good business man. If he car ries that shrewdness and business sa- gacity with him to the governors chair he will have ample opportunity to exercise it for the good of the state.
 If, in selecting men to fill the of fees of which he will have the op- portunity, he tries to get men who are fitted for that especial job, in- stead of using his power of appoint ment to pay his political debts he will go long way toward relieving Arkansas of the burden of her pro- fessional politicians.
 He is pledged, we believe, to use his best efforts to secure the aboli- ton of the corporations commission. We have yet to hear of an instance where this commission has safeguard ed the peoples interests, and yet it asks for $150,000 with which to car ry on its work during the coming year.
 MT. McRae is also pledged to use his efforts in putting the state peni- tentiary on at least self sustaining basis. Here, too, he has ample room for displaying the business acumen for which he is noted.
 But to the average layman this does not appear to be hard task. In our neighboring state of Missis- sippi their state prison system is not only on a self-sustaining basis, but 9 substantial sum is turned over each year for the use and benefit of the state. If we can't do any better we might go over and hire the men who are conducting Mississippi's pen al institutions so successfully.
 But surely we have men in Arkan- sas who have as much ability as Mis- sissippians in this direction if they can be induced to lend their talents l to their state.
 Several things are in need of 1 cleaning up and refurnishing and if | we cannot depend upon a man like Thomas c. McRae to put them across and give us an administration that will be a credit to the state, then | where in heavens name are we go- ing to find man?
