There's a CIV Edwin c. Hill
ilization at stake in the Southern
States, and the Rust brothers in
diligently and unselfishly face
the consequences Of their midnight
tinkering in their wayside garage.
They say they will withhold
the use of their machine until
some means can be found to
make it add to, rather than de-
tract from, the sum Of human
welfare; that they will not release
it for the brutal displacement of
workers, already precariouSly SuS-
tanned in an industry which re-
quires the continuous use of the
governmental price-fiXing pulmo-
tor.
Congress worries and StewS
about it, but can't find an an
swer. Only Representative Maury
Maverick. of Texas, reaches a
definite conclusion. He says:
"King Cotton is dead, only
a lot of people don't know it
yet. This machine will finish
him. Other nations are raising
more cotton, and the old South.
ern economy is a thing Of The
past. The South has got to
find new ways to employ its
people,"
It's an old, old story. Many
centuries before Christ, cotton
civilizations waxed and waned.
Under the scepter of Old King
Cotton, there were tariff wars, bat
ties, stratagems, intrigue and vast
contention. It was the garb Of
royalty in those days. midas Rig
Veda of $500 years ago speaks of
it's regal uses. and the Book of
Esther, of the Bible, tells of
princes clothed in cotton.
The Scythians, competin g
against the East Indians, cunning
ly plumbed the romantic German
psychology-still going strongly
offering their cloth to the ancient
German tribes as woven from
lambs that grew on trees" Today
the German word for cotton is
"baumwolle," or stree WOOL"
MACHINERY
Sir John Vaudeville, English
traveller, explorer and Munchau-
sen, introduced cotton to England,
from the East Indies, as growing
on plants shaped like lambs, with
vegetable lambs grazing beneath
print plants. There was much
poetry, fantasy, song and folklore
woven into cotton prints before the
machine came.

Against American institutions
alien intrigue is more active today
than at any time since the
Armistice which ended the great
war. The agents, tools and dupeS
of alien intrigue are attempting
to undermine what cannot be
directly overthrown in the Amer
lean form Of government.
These snakes Of alien intrigue
are now crawling through the
Federal city. They are infesting
both the executive and legislative
branches of the Federal Govern
ment.
One of their nests is on the
campus of a university which
pears an illustrious name. An
other nest is in the press galleries
of the Congress from which the
news of free press is daily dis
torted by a disloyal minority to
deceive the American people and
to put American institutions in
jeopardy.
Alien intrigue no longer operates
only by means of poisonous propa-
ganda prepared, subsidized and
distributed by alien agents.
1t operates also through the
tools and dupes of alien intrigue,
some of whom have guilty knowl-
edge of what they are doing,
others OF whom are too fatuous to
realize the role of dupe which they
essay.
SOME EXAMPLES
Alien intrigue is attacking the
Common Defense by the most in
sidious methods ever employed in
time of peace. Here are few ex-
ampleS:
By Resolution Of the Congress
the national observance of Army
Day became this year not merely
a popular but an official celeora-
ton. It was day set apart for
the American people to familiar
ize themselves with the work Of
the Army in peace and in war and
to pay homage to their Defenders
with the Colors.
Alien intrigue organized meet
ings of various sorts, the sinister
purpose Of which was to prejudice
the people against the detectives
Of Army Day.
This attack on Army Day by
the agents, tools and dupeS of
alien intrigue was only a repeti-
ton Of similar attacks which the
same snakes have made for sew
eral years upon the national OBJ

I'M a chine development down
through the ages. Earnshaw, a
wretchedly poor weaver, made
what is supposed to have been the
first machine to spin and reel cot
ton. His wife had a vision. She
saw violence and tragedy in its
wake. She begged him to destroy
it, and he did.
John Kay, another poor weaver,
made a similar machine, a Fly
ing shuttle" he called it. He
kept it in his tiny attic and
worked secretly at night. Pres
emily his yardage was returning
him what was for a weaver in
those days huge amounts of
money. His secret leaked out.
The workers saw it as a threat
to their jobs. A mob surrounded
his house, wrecked the machine
with axes and burned the house.
Kay narrowly escaped death. fled
to France and died a pauper.

HE'S INTERESTED

When Representative F. Better
CD Of New York received some
500 postcards urging him to vote
against the pending tax bill on
the theory that it would increase
the cost Of foods, he began to in
veStigate.
He wrote to a friend and de-
manded to know who had urged
him to sign one Of the form cards.
The friend said that he had signed
no card and that his signature
was a rank forgery"
On further investigation Better
learned that a grocer in a town
in his district had been sending
the cards to his customers when
he delivered packages of groceries
and the customers were forward
ing them to members of Congress.
Representative Better is now
seeking to learn who persuaded
the grocer to dispense the cards
to his customers urging them to
protest against the tax bill be-
cause of the danger of increasing
the prices of food-stuffs.

experienced the same disaster.
But when he was an old man,
poverty-stricken and hopeless,
Parliament awarded him 5000
pounds.
DR.. Edmund Cartwright, a man
of means and education, learned
about cotton weaving from poor,
ignorant men, but when he
evolved his power loom, he had
enough influence to prevent its
destruction. It was run first by
bulls and then by steam, which
came along then in that apt and
puzzling coincidence which marks
the outreach of the human mind.
So began the golden years Of
the reign of old King Cotton and
of mighty England's great indus
trial age.
Eli Whitney was a WeStborough,
Mass, boy with a love of tinker
ing. His father discouraged his
efforts to get an education, but
he persisted and went to Yale,
earning his way as a tinkerer, and
graduating in 1892. He got the
promise of a lob on a Georgia
plantation, but, landing there. the
job didn't materialize. He was be-
friended by the wealthy Mrs.
Greene, widow Of the general,
whom he had met on the boat.
TRAGIC STORY
At one of her parties, wealthy
planter, one Miller by name, was
distressed about getting the seeds
out of the cotton. Others Joined

if they could only solve this. Mrs.
Greene said she knew a clever
young Yankee who might work
it out for them. She introduced

capital. Eli did prodigiouS things,

ingots, making his own nails,
making his models out Of the
crudest materials. It worked.
But his workshop was burglar

in the courts for years, and then
Whitney, bankrupt, returned to
New Haven. He made a comfort

other things for the Government.
Old King Cotton built his new
empire on slave labor and the cot

cotton, made their songs, Roll

the grade of commander. If no

Now, however, the same 'pass-

Theoretically, according to the

should act impartially and on the

One Woman and Another

A Jealous woman'S chain Of rea-
soning is no stronger, than her
weakest suspicion.
The saddest thing about part
ing from a lover is that it is so
much easier to forget his faults
or his sins than it is to forget
his kisses.
Another foolish mistake which a
bride makes is to assume that a
man is always thinking about
women; and that if SHE is not
filling his thoughts, he must be
thinking of some other woman.
