The Bankers and King Cotton

s Now come Texas bankers with a plan for imposing
restrictions on cotton growing through economic pres
sure They would have onethird of the 1881 crop with
held from market; would require not more than one-half
the 1881 acreage be planted in cotton in 1882; nor more
than one-third in 1888.
The bankers do not take kindly to the idea of legisla-
tive restriction Of cotton acreage. Should the legislature
meet and enact some bill, however, the bankers say they
will revise their financing plans to meet the new condi-
ton. Naturally. The farmer must live. The banker
must live.
Now on with the argument as to whose plan is the
best for saving the cotton farmer. Wonder what Kansas
is doing to save the wheat farmer?

What Price, We Ask You?
(From the Waco Tribune)

IFTOm the waco IrDuneJ
: What is it worth to keep kissable? For what price
a nonparched throat? Is it worth 20 cents and walk a
mile on top of that?
Not in these exact words are hundreds of thousands
of Texans putting the question to themselves, but the in
tent of the self-imposed query will amount to the same.
Jerked suddenly from the oblivion of casualness, much as
the health of a congressman but for another reason, that
stubby young companion of male and female America in
Texas becomes important. Brought to that pinnacle, too,
by a legislature which has proclaimed its companionship
to man and woman is a luxury and not a necessity.
Yes, tailor-mades begin to suffer the three-cent tax
In the cause Of education. And the paradox is that from
every public school rostrum the white elongated cube is
denounced as a destroyer of health and injector of the
brain something to be avoided if one would preserve the
manliness of his, or her. chest, inside the walls thereof,
and get not a rostrum but would bemoan the loss Of hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars to the cause Of education
were the little fellow to disappear from the list of usages
of man.

University Of Ell Paso
(From the Dallas News)

According to the University of Texas news service,
the School of Mines and Metallurgy lis to open this Sep
tember as a four-year accredited university, the bachelor
of arts degree as well as the engineering degree being Of
fered.' This Of course, is good news for Ell Paso, but is
bad news for the Texas taxpayer. We shall yet have to
finance a stadium for FL Paso; it is written in the stars.
We learn that committees are appointed to make
recommendations regarding procurement of additional
buildings" and that extension work is to be done. This
means that correspondence courses, no doubt, will be
carried on through the Ell Paso p~ostoffice to compete with
the correspondence courses of the University of Texas
through the Austin p~Ostoffice.
We are still travelling the mad, wasteful road Of COM
petition and duplication in higher education, chiefly for
the satisfaction of local pride and commercial subsidy TO
local merchants and local landladies. FL Paso is a good
town and her people are good people. But a ~fifth-rate
university, made so by starveling appropriations due to
endless multiplication. of school plants, will not be best for
them i'm the end.

Robinson said Mrs. Cornor told him
her husband, William Cornor. a con-
sulting engineer, was the father of Miss
Gledhill's 2-year-old son, who lived
with her at the Cornor home. Cornor,
Robinson said, is serving a term for
forgery in the Vermont State Peni-

Mrs. Cornor said she regarded 1t as
religious duty" to let Miss Gledhill and
her son come to their home and they
had lived, not unhappily, together.
Known AS "SKi Girl"
She said Miss Gledhill was well known
throughout Canada as the Ski Girl,
having posed for many outdoor posters
advertising railroads and resorts.
Mrs. Cornor said she learned the two
men who came to her home were immi-
grafton officers investigating Miss Gled-
hills status with a view to deporting
her. She expressed belief the young
woman, fearing separation from her
son, had attempted to end her life.
