HOLD FOR 12 CENT COTTON.
With this year’s cotton crop es
timated on August 25 at less than
12.000. 000 bales by the govern
ment experts and conditions since
then probably reducing it to some
thing like 10,000,000, the farmers,
merchants and bankers of the
South should work in unison to se
cure not less than 12 cents for the
entire crop.
Assuming even a 12,000,000
bale yield of Southern cotton this
year (and it will probably be less,)
this year’s world production will be
5.000. 000 bales short of the
world's conservatively estimated
consumption during the coming
twelve months. That is to say,
the world will consume every
, pound of this year’s crop and 3,
000,000 bales of the present sur
plus.
The visible supply of cotton in
the world before this crop is gath
ered is in round numbers 5,500,
000 bales against 3,500,000 for
the same time last year which is
^ only an increase of 2,000,000
IBiRSfBSwistaltte, with last year's crop in this
country amounting to approximate
ly 17,000,000 and the European
war on.
The reader can easily see for
himself, therefore, that if we have
only a 10,000,000 bale crop, the
factories of the world would utter
ly drain the market dry, leaving it
subject to such conditions as oc
curred a few years ago when spec
ulators carried prices to 17 and 20
cents a pound.
And now having pointed out that
12-cent prices are justified be
cause the 1915 crop is certainly
3.000. 000 and possibly 5,000,000
bales short of the world’s demands,
meaning that factories and muni
tion factories will consume all the
present yield with the greater part
if not all the world's visible sur
plus, it stands reasonable to expect
at least 12 cents per pound for
this year’s crop if it is held and not
put on the market at the present
prices. If held and sold for 12
cents it will mean as much or more
*5 money as last year’s crop brought
and will save the South an enor
mous loss.

VII.—Hon. Elihu Root
On Woman’s Sphere
The question of Woman Suffrage is an issue before
the American people. Twelve states have adopted it,
four more states vote upon it this fall and it is strongly
urged that it become a platform demand of the national
political parties. It is therefore the privilege and the
duty of every voter to study carefully thiB subject. Hon.
Elihu Root, in discussing this question before the Consti
tutional Convention of New York, recently said in part:
"I am opposed to the granting of suffrage to women,
because I believe that it would be a loss to women, to all
women and to every woman; and because I believe it j
,Ei=::—*—— would be an Injury to the State, and to every man and
every woman In the State. It would be useless to argue this If the right of
suffrage were a natural right. If It were a natural right, then women should
have It though the heavens fall. But If there be any one thing settled In the
long discussion of this subject, it Is that suffrage Is not a natural right, but Is
simply a means of government, and the sole question to be discussed Is
whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be better gov
ernment than by the suffrage of men alone.
Into my Judgment, sir, there enters no element of the inferiority of
woman. It is not that woman is inferior to man, but It is that woman is
different from man; that in the distribution of powers, of capacities, of
qualities, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance-of certain
functions in the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to the
performance of other functions.
Woman rules today by the sweet and noble influences of her character.
Put woman Into the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons
which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless
for strife, weapons with which she is unfamiliar and which she is unable to
wdeld. Woman in strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far
removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to
whom we confess submission, as the heaven is removed from the earth.
The whole science of government is the science of protecting life and
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the divine distribution of powers,
the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It Is so through
out nature. It is so with men, and I, for one, will never consent to part
with the divine right of protecting my wife, my daughter, the women
whom I love, and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of
man, and place that high duty in the weak and nerveless hands of those
designed by God to be protected rather than to engage in the stern warfare
of government. In my Judgment, this whole movement arises from a false
conception of the duty and of the right of both men and women.
The time will never come when the line of demarcation between the
functions of the two sexes will be broken down. I believe It to be false phi
losophy; I believe that ft Is an attempt to turn backward upon the line of
social development, and that if the step ever be taken, we go centuries back
ward on the march towards a higher, a nobler and a purer civilization, which
must be found not in the confusion, but in the higher differentiation of the
sexes."

IX—Peter Radford
i On “Back to the Soil With Wall Street”
When Wall Street wants good business men she
usually goes back to the soil to get them. That financial
thoroughfare Is said to be honeycombed with men who
have plowed barefooted, who have drunk branch water,
eaten combread and molasses and slept on the floor in
their early days. A man is more capable of holding the
reins of business who knows how to drive a team of
mules, shear a sheep or put a ring in a shoat’s noBe. A
man is better equipped to meet the problems of life who
in his youth has walked the log across the creek to get
to school, courted the girls at husking beo8 and
■——-piiuucu uuibg oiiucb Miuiuny anernoon. a man who has
spent the moonlight nights of his youth possum hunting, going to protracted
meetings and occasionally turning down the community at a spelling match
has the right sort of stuff in him to make a good business man. The active
officials of most of the large business organizations of America it is said
were, with a very few exceptions, raised on the farm, and could swim the
creek, pitch hay, chop wood, milk the cows or slop the hogs as easily as
they can run world-wide business institutions.
The farmers look to these capable and loyal sons of the soil to assist in
the solution of the business problems of agriculture. Wall Street is reputed
to be capable of financing everything from a Y. M. C. A. to a war, so why not
finance agriculture? It is not sufficient to lend money to a correspondent to
lend to a local banker, to lend to a broker to lend to a merchant, to lend to
the landlord to lend to a farmer. Such a financial system sounds like the
house that Jack built, and is just about as useful. Neither is assistance com
plete when money is furnished buyers to "move the crop." What the farmer
wants Is money to hold the crop. What better security is there than a ware
house receipt for a bale of cotton, a sack of wheat or a bushel of corn and
why will such securities not travel by the side of government bonds?
The American farmer is a capable plowman. He always has filled and al
ways will fill the nation's granary, larder and wardrobe but he has nothing
to say in fixing the price of his products. The problem confronting the farm
ers of this nation today is marketing and its solution depends first upon the
farmer organizing for concert of action and the co-operation of the financial
interests in marketing the crop. Agriculture is the biggest business in
America and the only one that has not a financial system adapted to its use
