SHARING GOOD FORTUNE

Any workable system Of social eeon-
omy that can be devised cannot help
creating much inequality Of worldly
possession. Some people have eifts
far exceeding others, and can produce
many times as much A system that
gives every man what he produces will
necessarily give some people far more
than others.
Nevertheless, the people who have
gotten abundant possessions Of this
worlds goods need not think that this
achievement is all their own merit.
They are entitled to great credit for
their industry. thrift, determination,
enterprise, and disposition to improve
their own capacity and service. But
some people are given at birth more
brains than others. There are many
who work hard, who never seem
to get anywhere. The trouble is usu-
ally that they made a bad start eth
er through their own fault or that of
others. and have to pay the penalty all
their lives.
The people who have made a success
of life, should recognize that it is not
always due wholly to their own per-
sonal efforts. They should make a
return for this better fortune, by the
utmost generosity to the community.
The successful business man who
keeps all his money to himself is max
ing poor return. He does much to be
sure, by employing labor and hand
ling business efficiently. But he
would be far happier, and he would be
treating the community more justly,
if he made liberal gifts to movements
for human advancement.
The bad example set by many peo-
pie Of means who refuse to share their
good fortune with the rest of the COM
munity. is leading cause of the So
cial unrest and false economic notions
that spread through the community
The wealthy people who give money
literally to public causes and do not
flaunt their extravaganza in the eyes
OF struggling people, help avoid the
social bitterness that prevents har-
monious cooperation in the industrial
world,

THE REMOVAL OF EYESORES

A quite delicate community problem
is created by ugly buildings. Most
towns have their share of structures
of this type. and Julesburg is no ex-
ception. These buildings impress
themselves on visitors, and give stran-
gers the idea that they are entering
an ugly town.
Some of these structures are simply
dingy and need coat of paint An
attractive color would work wonders,
and would turn decadent and dingy
appearing community into one which
looks alive and hopeful.
1t seems as if the community had
some rights in the matter. 1t is not
fair that pail Of dinginess should be
thrown over a whole neighborhood and
the appearance Of whole town pre-
JUDGED, by the lack of enterprise and
neatness Of some one person.
Public sentiment has not yet reached
the point where it would compel such
an owner to improve his property. 1t
may come to that some day. But it
would seem as if some influence could
be used to demonstrate with such cit
liens and show them plainly that his
neglectful spirit is damage to the
entire community. 1t should be urged
that an owner Injuries his own inter
est when he allows rundown buildings
to stand unimproved. and that he
could get better return on them II
he would brighten them up or re
move them and put up something real
" worth while.

THE SOLDIER BONUS

In the opinion Of 4 great many 80
service men is deemed q matter Of
charity and these people. when dis
cussing the question demand to know
why the ex-service man should have
charity doled out to him in preference
to anyone else. But such an opinion
is wrong, and We trust no Julesbure
citizen looks on the bonus in such q
light.
To give an ex-soldier who fought in
the world war 4 bonus for the part he
played is no more matter of charity
than it would be to pay any man for
the services he performed after being
engaged to perform them But the
latter would be an ordinary transac-
ton. the kind that goes on every day
The service rendered by the soldier is
extraordinary: it is one wherein the
soldiers life is directly at stake and
he undertakes this risk for a mere
pittance. There could not be com
mensurate pay for service Of this kind
in the ordinary business sense. There
is heroism and bravery connected
with the engagement to render the
service that the soldier gives that
should receive any reasonable bonus
that can be given and there is net an
iota Of charity connected with it.
1t is due the ex-service man to have
bonus and good one. They risked
their all and they have returned home,
thousands Of them. to find themselves
without work and without funds. They
do not want charity. and neither do
they want the government to impose
a burden upon its taxpaying citizens
in making q bonus possible. But they
believe there is some way of reward
ing them as they should be rewarded
without working hardship on any
one. and they are rightfully desirous
of having that way found and found
quickly.

Stephens Is Leading in .uissisSippl
 Senatorial Run-Om Primary.

Jackson. Miss. Sept 5.-Hubert D. Stephens. former member of Congress from the Second Mississippi district was leading James K. Vardaman by 14,OOO votes on the face of unofhclal newspaper returns from some 700 precincts out of approximately 1,5OO in the state of the vote boiled Ill to- days statewide runoff primary for the Democratic nomination for United States senator.
 Returns tabulated at Il o'clock to- night, Stephens 76,661; Vardaman 6l,- 016.
 Mississippi Democrats went tc the polls today to register their choice between former Senator Vardaman and former Congressman Stephens in the second primary.
 The campaign of the last three weeks, or since the first primary on August 15, has been one of the most active in the history of the state.
 Political observers had predicted that todays vote would reach much larger total than cast at the first pri- mary. It was generally believed that the figures would be around 190,00e or approximately 10000 short of the total registration.
 The ,otc cast 1t 'he first primary election was 15S,S3S, which was dl- yided as follows: Vardaman, 74,5I3; Stephens 65,9SO; Miss Belle kearney 1S,2S5.
 Vardaman advocates claimed there would be about an even break be- tween the two candidates on the Rear ney vote, while Stephens supporters we're confident their candidate would receive 90 per cent of them.

Island Half Fertile, Half Arid.

A remarkable feature of many of the islands of the polynesian groups Is the luxuriant vegetation on the southeast, or windward side of the islands, in marked contrast to the northwest or leeWard side where the forest is re- stricted to extremely limited patches, with large red-covered areas of wide extent suggesting aridity and the ab- sence of fertile soil This is, no doubt, due to the fact that a larger percent age of moisture is deposited on the former, the prevailing southeast trade winds being comparatively dry by the time they reach the opposite side.

JOURNAL or COMMERCE REpoRr

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The journal of
Commerce says:
Eorth>Carolina: Cotton correspondents in
New York reiterate for the most part their
statements OF month ago, and the opinion
seems quite general that the yield, so far
as this state is concerned, will be disap-
pointing. No top crop has been made and
weevils are said to have destroyed practi-
eally all late August and early September
cotton, as well as puncturing a large per
cent OF grown bolls. Estimates of the
amount Of deterioration since that date of
our last report carry from to 10 per cent,
with some of the returns showing no change.
weather conditions have generally been
ideal for picking, which is about 80 per
cent completed.
South Carolina: Not only is cotton all
made in South Carolina, but the crop is
nearly all picked and ginned.- Correspond
ents estimate picking from 80 to 80 per
cent and a few 80 per cent completed. In
this state, while farmers are said to be
selling as fast as ginned, some talk is heard
Of cotton being stored by the Cooperative
Growers association. About % per cent of
the crop in some sections is being held back
through these organizations, though such re-
ports are the exception rather than the rule.
Fewer complaints have been received this
month than last, though many estimate a
further deterioration during the month of
about per cent.
Georgia: Returns from Georgia show that
in this state also cotton is very nearly all
gathered in, and farmers everywhere are
marketing as fast as possible practically
none being stored, and no mention is made
Of the activities of cooperative associa-
tions. Weather conditions in the first three
weeks Of October have been favorable for
picking, but in the past week or so rains
are said to have lowered grades. Here and
there frost is reported, but no damage from
this source. Estimates of deterioration dur
ing the month range from 5 to 10 per cent
with a general average of 6 per cent. Re-
ports as to the yield are rather mixed. some
speaking of its being slightly less than last
year, others that it will be better.
