Appeals to Parents
There is no use Of beating around
the bush. If you expect policemen to
keep your daughters off Of the street
and out of places that they ought not
to go, you had better keep them at
home yourself and not depend on the
police God Almighty, give us some
good old fashioned fathers and moth
crs. That is what we need. You have
no right to turn over the guarding of
your daughters and sons to the police
force. They are to guard peace, but
hey are not to legislate goodness into
your children. That should have been
done from the hour they are born
But you are so wrapped up in your
clubs and your entertainments that
home nowadays is nothing but a
boarding house at which they eat and
lsleep. You may not like that kind Of

is no finality. God brings US back

cotton is freely predicted by planting

II we know anything in the world it is

While it has been said that the cotton
farmer is broke if he makes a big or

All signs from all sections of the

cd Tuesday Of this week and we are of
the opinion that the time is ripe to
CALI halt on appropriations for our
state government. For several years
past an increase in salaries as well as
many other appropriations has been
agitatcd and finally one year ago an
increase in salaries took place, almost
from the cross road magistrates to
governor. The arguments at that
time were based on high cost of liv-
ing etc. We think the increase at that
time was justifiablc but since then
a very sudden reaction has taken
place and hundreds and thousands of
our men and women have been thrown
out of employment while many, many
others have already had their salaries
'slashed to the CORE" we are debat-
ing in our own mind if it is right for
these public officials to still draw a
high salary at the expense Of the
heavy-burdcned taxpayer or have we
man in the house or senate that will
raise his voice in the behalf of the tax
payers whereby salaries may be again
regulated and "cqual rights mectcd
