Safeguarding Cotton Growers

arguing the merits Of his bill to make
Government grades binding all cotton
shipped in interstate commerce, Repre-
sentative Fulmer, of South Carolina, de-
cIared yesterday that thousands of specula-
tors are waxing rich at the growers ex-
frequently. at grades lower than its real
value, and then is sold at grades unwar-
rantably high. Thus both producer and con-
sumner are proved upon by a species of hui
man insect more rapacious than the boil
weevil itself
1t is partly for the purpose Of safeguard
operative cotton marketing system has been
inaugurated throughout the South. When
grading is done by experts who represent
the growers themselves, there will be- no
doubt of its correctness and hence no risk
as regards price. That this rebounds also
to the benefit of the consumer has been dem
onstrated wherever the cooperative selling
system has been fairly and amply tested,
large buyers having found it distinctly adj
vantageous to deaf with an association of
producers who maintain and guarantee their
standards of value.
. Grading is, of course, but one of sundry
Important services which such al association
enders it's members. 1t does for the cot
pm producer what modern business methods
nd commercial facilities do for the manu-
lacturer. 1t gives him an effective say in
the fixing of prices, not by any sort of ar
bitrary influence, but by virtue of skilled
service and adequate knowledge of condi-
tions of supply and demand
Exponents of the plan predict that it will
add hundreds of millions of dollars to the
South's net income from cotton, and point,
by way of evidence, to the substantially bet
ter average of prices now received by farm
ers in Georgia and neighboring states who
have availed themselves of the facilities
which the cooperative marketing associa-
ton has to offer

AN IDEAL

BY BERTON BRALEY.
TNHIS world would, be heaven,
With hope and love its leaven,
With beauty all about us and with
laughter in tho air,
And not the least upheaval
OF sin or shame or evil,
A world devoid of trouble or Of battle
or Of care;
TAITH never would grow dim in
The hearts of men Ind women,
We'd walk our paths in gladness
and charity and peace,
With spirit true and tender
We'd fill the world with splendor,
And all the hate and jealousy and quar-
reling would cease;
y IFE would become vision
or happiness elysian,
The world a perfect paradise to
hold us in it's thral,
If mid our plots and plans and schemes,
We'd realize one-half the dreams
Our happy mothers dreamed for US
when we were very small!

AGAINST G U N
TOTING

Bills aimed against "gun toting''
are being considered in the leefsla-
lures of many states. The purchase
Of pistols is becoming alarming. The
carrying of firearms or other con-
cealed weapons and their consequent
free and easy use has reached the
stage where it is high time something
was done to curb the evil. A pistol
is nothing more nor less than an inn
plement to kill humans. The man
who carries one intends to use it if
he thinks it necessary, and many a
man has committed murder on the
impulse of the moment when his gun
was handy and impelled his first
thought in a situation that little
sober judgment would have proved
the better and safer course.
A Chicago judge says that years
Imprisonment is too severe for a gun
carrier; yet a number of years in
prison or the hangman's moose is not
regarded as too drastic after the gun
has sent some human into eternity.
1t is to be hoped this judge does not
fear being legislated out of his job
of trying murderers.

PENALTY FOR POISON
PEDDLERS

The Iowa senate has passed a bill
which should, at least, cause the boot
logger to test his product on the fam
lily cat before passing it out for hu-
man consumption. The measure pro-
vides that whenever death follows
from the effects of drinking liquor,
the person who sold that liquor shall
be declared guilty of manslaughter,
and the penalty carries punishment
of not more than eight years in pris-
on. The bill leaves no loophole for an
accused to crawl through with proof
that the liquor was not poisonous.
1t holds that the fact of death con-
clusively establishes the unfitness of
the liquor for human consumption.

Editorial
REAL PROGRESSIVE

The newspaper is the mirror Of the
community's progressiveness. in which
il circulates. If town has a live
newspaper, it is one of the best indi-
cations that the town and community
is alive and making progress. 1t is
entirely necessary that the business
men and citizens be progressive and
"on their toes" if the newspaper in
the community is to exist and present
= "live" and progressive appearance.
The newspapers existence in the
community depends entirely upon the
activities Of the citizens.
That Julesburg is Give" town
and its business enterprises progress
sive, is best evidenced by the num-
erous announcements of Julesburg
merchants and business men appear
ing in the Grit-Advocate from week
to week, this paper ranking as one OF
Colorado's leading weekly newspap-
ers for its progressive appearance due
to the splendid support given the pap
er by numerous advertisers who real
ize that advertising in the Grit-Ad-
vocate is a profitable proposition.
To the hundreds of readers of this
paper also goes much credit for the
progressive strides being made by the
Grit-Advocate, making it possible for
this paper to legitimately claim the
largest circulation of any weekly
newspaper published in this entire
section. With this splendid support
upon the part of the large majority of
the people residing in this territory,
the management feels justified in
sparing no expense in making the
Grit-Advocate newspaper which is
worth while and one that ranks
at the top in the weekly newspaper
field.
It is with pride that we present our
large family of readers this week the
Advocate, containing twelve pag-
es, all home print, and brim full Of
news happenings and numerous "live"
advertisements of business enterpris-
es who are reaching out for an in
creased volume Of trade. This issue
of the paper reflects great credit up
on the proRressiveness Of the COM
munity.

GETTING HIS FRENCH AN d
YANKEE MIXED

On western railroad is employed
a hard-boiled roundhouse foreman
who saw three years of hard service
in France. Two Frenchman just ov-
er from their native land are part

The other day a car was derailed
at the freight house and the freight
foreman called up the roundhouse
asking for light engine, a line of
steel cable and two frogs with which
to replace the car on the track.

foreman, angrily. "but l CANT bring

A COSTLY EXPERIMENT

Finally. at this late date, the fig
ures are available showing how much
it cost the United States to operate
the railroads under the war time reg
ulations. According to the report of
James c. Davis, director general of
railroads, the cost totals $1,000, ,OOO,-
900. nearly two billion dollars. No
doubt much of this amount goes to
the railroad owners in the way of
earning guarantees. If the old 6per-
ators who were left at the throttle
under government control can't make
a better showing than that for the
company we opine there would be a
lot of official heads cropped off in
short order-an amputation the gov
ernment should have attended to at
the outset of it's experimental lesson
in railroading.

There are people in this country 50
imbued with the military spirit that
they would arm two-thirds Of the
country's population in order to keep
the remaining one-third toeine the

countries and their military "over-
head" seems not to justify the conten-

far more concerned in the business of
war and the retention of their posi-
tions than in the real productive vel
fare of the country.
