advices placed the condition at 80
per cent of normal. This is 5.7 points
better than last year and slightly
above the ten-year average. While it
muiuestionably indicates that the
plant has had a favorable start in
spite of early weather handicaps
too much emphasis as we have re
peatedly pointed out should not be
laid upon it. This is illustrated by
last season's coalition when after
a government June average of 71.3
per cent one of the very poorest on
record the largest crop in cotton his-
tory was produced. The next report
due July 1st is of far more import-
ance and from this more or less o: a
reasonable deduction of the final yield
can be made. At that time the an-
nual preliminary estimate of acre-
age will be made. Never before per
haps has so much significance bon
attached to the acreage report and.
coupled with the condition to be
shown at that time it ought to give
a pretty fair estimate of the prob-
able size of the forthcoming crop
admitting of course that climatic con-
ditions for tlie balance of the season
are about normal. Atlhotigh accord-
ing to government reports present
weather conditions are generally fav-
orable advices to the "Journal of
Commerce" complain of grassy fields
in Ceorgia South Carolina and Ala-
bama. These reports say that in
some localities in Alabama cotton is
being ploughed tip.. In Texas it is
claimed that the weather is too cool
while in Oklahoma North Carolina
and Mississippi it is too wet for the
best development of the plant.
One of the remarkable feature.1? of
the demand situation is the way that
exports keep up They are still run
ning far ahead of a year ago and
there is every indication that before
long they will have caught up with
tltose of last season. The domestic
demand also continues surprisingly
good so good indeed that there is
every reason to believe that the car
ry-over from last year's crop will
not he such a burden as originally
estimated; in fact this may prove
no burden at all if as now anticipat
ed this year's production is smalL
Kverything considered purchases on
the soft spots are still suggested.

THE DAILY
POLITICAL
POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALIZE
STRIFE A MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities a National Crfne.
By Piter Radford.
There never was a time In the his-
tory of this nation when we needed
statesmen more or agitators less than
at the present moment. The oppor-
tunities now afforded us on laud and
sea demand the best there is In state
craft and the possibilities that are con-
fronting us call for national Issues
that unite the people build Industry
and expand trade. The agricultural
and industrial development of this
nation has suffered severely at tho
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing Into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
Interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
down the spinal column of Industry.
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus-
trial corpse is not a desirable thing
a crippled business an achievement or
neglect an accomplishment about
which any representative of the gov-
ernment has a right to boast.
Issues that Breed Agitators Should be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be elim-
inated from public life before thought-
ful consideration can be. given to a
constructive program in government.
The liquor question Is the most pro-
lific breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or antl the hatch Is
equally as undesirable. This article
Is In no sense a discussion of the li-
quor question but deals solely and by
way of Illustration with the political
products of that issue. Other sub-
jects will bo dealt with In the order
of their Importance.
In the history of our government
the liquor Issue ha3 never produced
a constructive statesman worth men-
tioning and It never will. It has sent
more freaks to Congress Lilliputians
to the Senate and Incompetents to
otflce than any other political issue
under the sun.
The recent experience of the Kng-
lish Parliament which laHhed itself
Into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that It is well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject In some form or other Is
constantly before the public for solu-
tion and outlines to the exclusion of
more Important problems to the Amer-
ican plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
Lloyd-George the Prohibition leader
of Europe w ho led the prohibition light
in England has declared that hewfll
never again take a drink politically
and there are many American politi-
cians pro and antl who would render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members become Intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit-
ical drunkards pro and anti in our
public affairs. No one w ho is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quite
so capable of dealing with tbe busi-
ness affairs of government as the
sober and Industrious. We have few
public men In this day who are strong
enough to resist the temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Rum once becomes firmly en-
trenched in tbe mind of a politician
he Is less capable of meeting the de-
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have In this country too many
red-nosed politicians both pro and
anti. A candidate with political deli-
rium tremens a preacher with politi-
cal snakes In his boots and an agitator
drunk on the liquor question are the
raddest sights In civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit-
ical Keeley Cure.
It Is far more Important in govern-
ment to make it caster for those who
toll to eat than to make it more dif-
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
is not one person in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but e all eat three times a
day.
THE LAYMAN'S DUT1
There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning or gov-
ernment politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry Into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political processions. They have
taken tne ministry to the mountain-
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed and
nlle most of them have said. "Get
thee behind me Satan." a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
juj.
ARDMORETtE"
WHi SHOULD
UN VOTE?
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE
VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
FARMERS.
Why should women vote? That Is
the question that Is ringing from
ocean to ocean and reverberating front
the Canadian boundary to the Mexi-
can border It is the mission of a
newpaper to give the news and th
action of the Texas Farmers' I'nloii
in opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before tin
Texas legislature Is significant ai
representing the attitude of the or
ganlzed plowmen. We reproduce lc
part the argument presented by Hon
W. D. I-ewls president of the Texai
Farmers' I'nion in opposing the bill:
"It is gratifying to note that It ll
not the farmer's wife who Is clamoring
for the ballot. Sho Is too busj
trying to make happier homes mold
Ing the minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband tho caret
of life to indulge in political gossip
The ballot will give her no relief froir
drudgery give no assistance in cloth
Ing the children or bring to tho horn
additional comforts conveniences oi
opportunities in life. It Is as a rule
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity who is leading tho suf
fragette movement.
"From many standpoints perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as a man So has she as much right
to plow as a man; she has as much
right to work in a factory as a man;
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as a man but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by en-
gaging in gainful occupations. 'We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica
tion for suffrage or a business acci
dent a reason for granting franchise
We are opposed to woman at tho
ballot box the same as we are op
posed to woman in tho field In the
factory or In the army and for tho
self-same reasons. We had ralber
see her plant (lowers than sow wheat
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political Is
sues although she may have as much
right to do one as the other o
Opposed to Unsexing Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrage may
have Its apparent inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions It is a favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more calla-
ble of intelligently exercising sov-
ereignty than a worthless negro but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage and while culture and
refinement and even morality are
desirable virtues they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary inherent and insep-
arable fitness for suffrage is support-
ing a family. The plow handle the
forge and the struggle for bread af-
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman tho home and man the busi-
ness affairs of life.
"There has been much freakish leg-
islation enacted during the past de-
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous but to under-
take to unsex the human race by law-
Is the height of legislative folly and
a tragedy to mankind.
"Wo are opposed to the equal rights
of woman we want her to ever re-
main our superior. Wo consider
woman's desiro to seek man's level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
"Woman is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; it Is her hand that plants
thoughts in the Intellectual vineyard;
It Is through her heart that hope love
and sympathy overflow and bless man-
kind. Christ the liberator of woman-
kind was satisfied to teach the lessonb
of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re-
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him women washed His feet
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that in Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?"
THEMISTOCLES
When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter-
tain the guests by playing the lute he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have In this
nation many politicians who are good
"fiddlers" but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over-
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct
and that It is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state and that he start a plow than
that he become the author of a law.
The true test of statesmanship Is the
plow and the hammer so let those
NO SCARCITY OF LA BOS
FOR HARVEST WORK.
Oklahoma City. Okla June It
would appear from reports made in
most sections of the wheat belt on
the eve of the hirvest rush that there
are really more men awaiting the
harvest thnti there is work for. These
men are not all on the ground but
they are reported to be on the way.
One result of this amuirent iininlii
supply oi labor is that the attempts
at combination to enforce a high rate
of wages seem to be crumbling. In
Alfalfa county the farmers who have
wheat to harvest have met and them-
selves fixed the wages they will pay.
These are $:!.."il a day for hands. $..0
a day for man and team and $ l.r.O a
day for stackers. Plans had been
made by the laborers who are there
waiting for the harvest to charge $:!
a day. The Alfalfa county harvest
will not begin for about a week.
This situation has made the work of
the I. W. W. emissaries to t ho har-
vest fields rather difficult for when
there seems to lie more men than jobs
it is difficult to secure concerted ac-
tion in dictating terms to employers.
The I'liid incident of last week that
resulted in the militia dispersing the
agitators and others who were really
waiting for work lias had a salutary
effect in keeping down disturbances
in the wheat field repion.
Whenever a lazy man looks toward
heaven the angels close the windows.
