CHEAP LABOR HURTS LA
BORER AND BUSINESS MAN

The socalIcd cheap labor" of
the South has been one OF the
South's greatest curses. Suppose
! am working with NV hands.
Cheap labor hurts me bv drag
glng down the profits or returns
from my own labor. If | am
working Tor wages. get lower
wages. II | am making crops, they
bring lower prices.
But what about the employer
and business man? On the whole
they are hurt also by so-called
cheap labor If employers make
cotton by cheap labor, the price
IS correspondingly lowered and
their real profit 5 hardly affected.
And certainly the business mans
profits are halvcd when the prof
It's OF the farmer and laborer ore
halved.
For all these reasons believe
We should try to raise the negro $
living standards. It is a good
sign for the South when the Ne
gro wants a better house. better
school q better conveyance. On
the other hand, il we teach the
Negro TO work better without at
the same time raising his living
standards, then the South is hurt.

AFTER THE VOTES ARE

AFTER THE VOTES ARE
COUNTED - Fitzgerald has
just passed through spirited
political campaign AS the Lead
or goes TO press this afternoon
the result is still in doubt but it
is sure that someone has won
and someone has lost. That is
the unfortunate thing about a
contcst-someone must lose.
But losing in a political cam
palgn is nothing Of which good
man need be ashamed, nothing
that should give him cause to
hold bitterness IN his heart
against those who have defeated
him nor to think that the people
whose suffrage he has asked
think the less OF him.
Politics is an uncertain thing
popular favor is difficult to an
ticipatc or rightly estimate. De
feat and victory are all mere in
CldclltS OF polltlCal HE, tcmpOr-
airy gain or loss to be maintained
or offset in a little while.
In the campaign we have just
concluded, group of exception
ally good men were pitted
against each other, In mayoralty
race either Mr.. Paulk or Mr..
Griner will make good captain
for the city's ship of state. The
city will fare well under the adj
ministration of either. The re-
suit will be determined rather
by the issue of the campaign
than by the candidates.
And the one who loses, as one
iol them must, need have no feel
ing OF bitterness against those
who for the time being were
aligned as his opponents. The
real test of big man is found
IN defeat no less than in victory.

cry unto heaven for relief for
the less deadly Of the species.
Suggesting that our readers take
into consideration that the fem

earth anyway and be, therefore,
not too much distressed over
present conditions as described,
we reproduce the Rome editor s
philippe:
Several hundred years ago
when royalties sat on thrones in
all the countries of the earth,
and kings with rods of iron,
women were not permitted in
most countries to rule and males
in all lines of endeavor were par
amount to females. Women had
no rights to speak OF, politically.
In fact, they were looked down
on from all standpoints, except
domestic
1t was supposed to be the sole
privilege Of woman 70 take care
.of the children, clean up the
house, cook, wash and iron, and
look sweet when the men came
around.

child was born. iorty-onc guns
Numbered forth welcome;
when female child was born.

in her honor. In fact, the birth
Of female child in a royal
household was considered some
thing II a calamity. The King
scowled, the mobiles sncered, the
family doctor snealed out home

This is the way it was in the

Women play the mandolin. They
array themselves i'll gorgeous at
tire, gold and precious stones
adorn their beautiful forms, they
sit high i'll the councils of the
nation, control politics, lead the
dance, and generally speaking,
lord it ovtr the men.
Right at the present time, the
average woman has more privil-
eyes than seventeen men-the
only things they don't attempt
are the hard jobs, and they even
direct the me in those. It's a
bad situation for the men-we
don't know what is going to hap

The women have even usurped
