Comment and Criticism

More proof that mining disasters
can be prevented.
DR.. George Rice, Chief Engineer of
the Bureau of Mines, recently urged
the House Mines Committee to devise
more rigid inspection regulations TO
prevent mine explosions.
In Belgium, where the mines are
said to be the most gas-infested In
the world, there have been no ex.
polsions for 20 years, due to better
regulations, DR.. Rice declared
What Belgium has done shows that
anyq nation can end or minimize mine
disasters. It's up to the United
States to do as well as little Belgium
in protecting its miners and the longer
we delay action, the greater will be
our shame.
How badly industry is managed is
exemplified by the action of the New
York, New Haven d Hartford rail.
road in laying off $3.50 employees in
order, as the Boston News Bureau
says, ito keep within the budget"
Presumably no provision has been
made for the living expenses Of the
hapless workers who have been given
vacation" for the benefit of the
New Ravens budget. They and their
families must exist as best they may.
What this is likely to lead to In bodily
and mental distress only those di-
rectly concerned can know.
The laying off of the New Ravens
workers is the sort of thing that in
tensifes the demand for Government
rule of industry. II emphasizes the
need for the setting Of its own house
in order by industry itself. If in
dustry really knew how to govern it.
eslf, lay offs would be infrequent, in
stead of common, as at present and
If there was no way of avoiding
them, provision would be made for
the workers forced to remain idle.
Industry must govern itself to give
justice to its workers and service TO
the nation, else Government will seek
to regulate its activities. Industry
must measure up to modern condi-
tons. As Secretary of Commerce
Hoover told the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States:
THE test of our whole economic
and social system is its capacity to
cure its own abuses"
An inhabitant of Mars who visited
the United States for the first time
might well believe that our principal
was the passing of laws.
DR.. John +. Coar, executive secre-
tary of the Liberal League, estimates
that there are 1000 laws on the
statute books Of the national and
tsate governments. As a remedy for
this situation, DIR. Coar advocated the
repeal of two laws for every new one
passed.
The average citizen, as he views
the attempted regulation of virtually
everything from the wagging Of a
dogs tail to the movements of the
Heavenly bodies, might be disposed
to go further than DR.. Coar and ad-
vocate the repeal of at least half a
dozen existing laws for every new
one inflicted upon the nation. Then
there might be some hope of the peo-
pie digging themselves from out Of
he ever-growing avalanche Of legis-
alton.

The Verse of Bruce Brockett, Momtama's
cowboy Poet, Registers True Romance
and Realities of Western Ranger Life

And never stood night guard
In your little old hen skin,
Then you don't know much of cow.
boys,
And the things they are and amt
All you know is just a glitter
That's been told with words of
paint.
Right now I want to tell you
It's not half like what they draw,
Though a cowboy is as happy
AS anyone you ever saw.
He quits sometimes and goes to town
And wears he's going to stay;
But when he thinks it over
He comes back right away;
Cause there's something fine about it
That makes them all return in
And live among the cattle,
The alkali, and lime.

Mary Roberts Rinehart-
In her cowboy garb arrayed,
Don't look like an eastern author
A restin' from her trade.
You see her lopin' toward you
In her chaps and muffler ray,
Her 3 x beaver tilted
In that good old western way.
Just a settin' in the saddle
Like as if she didn't care
What her pony did or didn't
Cause she'd set him fair and
square
She's the kindest hearted person
Unneedful of a test,
And fits in with the habits
Of the people in the West.

Then you wish you wasn't quite s.
slow
Or that women were exactly wha
they seem.
You think about the little home jus
big enough for two,
You can see her there a smilfn' al
the time;
With just a little bit of work to do
Such as sweep the floor and cook vol
something fine.
And you wont be a'punchin' COWS
You'll quit it all for good,
You'll get a place and settle down
for life;
And there wont be nothin' much for
you to do,
Only just to love and please your
little wife.
All at once you hear a whoopin'-
and you know it's the relief.
You can see him comm towards you
on the run;
Pretty soon you see it's Shorty-just
a common ole cow-hand,
But he's like all others-full of fun.
Then you realize his comm means
that you can go to camp,
And that supper's ready for you when
you do.
Then all your towers have crumbled
with the comm of relief,
And this cowboy life means every
thing to you.
You jump up quick like a relay man,
And hit your pony down the thigh;
just a common ole cow-hand-i
And you'll be one when you die.
If you've never suffered hunger
From early morn till late at night,
If you eve was hot an thirsty
Till a spring fixed things alright,
If you never saddled up at daylight
To make a circle long and far,
If you never topped a broncho
And got that buckin' jar,
If you never wrest1ed calves
Till your back ached plumb thro,
And never went a'reppin' in a country
strange and new,
Ii you never swan a river
On a horse that couldn't swim,

THE history of a nomadie
people lives in the songs and
stories of their poets or min
@strels. True of ancient times, it is
still true today in the sections in
habited by Americas national type
of cowboy.
Whether in the trail songs, those
endless tunes of the night herd; or
the livelier passages that may be
heard at chuck-wagon gatherings,
country dances or wilder nights in
town, the cowboy faithfully records
the romance and tragedy of his
calling.
The COW country has countless
such songs and poems of nameless
origin that are known far and wide,
but of those individuals who have
been successful in this particular
field few can lay claim to an init
mate knowledge Of the life they
portray.
The work Of Charles Badger
Clark, E. A. Brininstool, H. H.
Knibbs, Frank B. Linderman and
one or two others being the most
outstanding examples.
In southern Montana there lives
a young rider, Bruce Brockett, who
is unusually talented in this way.

The Cotton Crop

The favorable November weather in
a large part of the cotton district add
ed approximately 10000 bales to this
years cotton crop according to the
November 18th report made by the
Department of Agriculture and Census
Bureau. The report shows the indicat-
ed crop to be 12,922,OOO bales and the
ginnings as II 1,147, ,524 bales as compar-
ed with a final crop in 1923 of 10139,-
671 bales and ginnings Of $500, ,49S
bales. The report points out that this
year the picked cotton has gone
promptly to the mills, partly account
ing for the large increase in ginnings
during recent weeks.
The report shows that the quality
of the crop in some sections has been
damaged due to unfavorable weather
conditions earlier in the year. The
quality of the lint and seed is not as
good as usual i'm the Atlantic states.
the lint being shorter as a result of
the drought following the wet and cold
spring. September rains in this sec
ton also damaged many of the bollS
and the lint from them is stained In
the states Of Tennessee, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, however, the quality of the
lint seems to he about as good as usual.
The first killing frosts along the north
ern border of the cotton belt caught
many green bolls, although it is ex-
pected that many Of these will open.
In Texas weather conditions have been
unusually good for picking and matur-
ing the crop.

Pine Tar and Honey Beat
All Modern Dru0S

In thousands of families it has
been the custom for many years to
keep pine tar and honey always on
hand for coughs, chest colds, bron-
chitis, spasmodic Group, and throat
irritatiOns. Our mothers knew that
it was good, that it often broke up
the worst cough in "a hours, and
that it could be given to young and
old alike, as ii contains no mar
cotics or harmful drugs.
And now we are told that in spite
of modern medical discoveries there
is still no better or quicker cough
remedy. Doctors say the pine tar
quickly loosens and removes the
phlegm and congestion that cause the
coughing, also healing soreness.
while the honey not only gives a
pleasant taste, but helps soothe irri-
tation.
The original compound, made up
many years ago and used by mill
lions of people, was DR.. Bells Pine
Tar Honey. This is scientifically
composed Of just the right proper
tions of pine tar, honey and other
quick-acting, healing ingredients
which the best doctors have found
TO aid in quick relief. If you want

Newport. Nov. 25.--The Arkansas
Cotton Growers Cooperative AsSocia-
ton won complete victory in chan
Gerry court today i'm its suit against
Harrison Bennett, of Jackson county,
n member of the association, who was
charged with having violated his con-
tract. Chancellor Lyman Reeder some
time ago granted a temporary injunc-
ton restraining Bennett from dispos-
ing of his cotton in any manner except
through the association and today the
chancellor decided on the associations
petition to have the injunction made
permanent.
The chancellor granted every point
for which the association had con-
tended. He ordered Bennett to turn
over to the association the seven bales
that remain from his 1924 cotton crop.
In addition, he ordered him to pay
liquidated damages of five cents a
pound, totaling $50, for two bales
which Bennett had sold outside the
association. Also he ordered Bennett
to pay all attorneys fees and all costs
connected with the case, including the
costs of bonds which the association
was obliged to furnish. Attorneys for
the association declared it one of the
most sweeping victories ever won by
cooperative marketing association in
any court.
