WASHINGTON LETTER
By WALLACE BASSFORD
(Special Correspondent)
Washington, D. C'.,Jline ?Shortl}
before the election of President Harding,
Senator Lodge, Judge Hughes and
some twenty-nine other men, whose
names were thought sufficiently impressive
to make the people believe
an otherwise improbable tale, i-sutd
a statement in which they said that
the way to get into the League of Nations
was to vote for Harding. It is
far from the province or the intention
of this writer to fall afoul of those
?*-- ?? tVioir nwn views on
VVI1U XIlo.J' ua > c
that momentous question, but it is
healthful and harmless to laugh anil
to rejoice at having been born a Missourian,
with all of the inborn incredulity
of that race of Disciples of Aristotle.
For was it not that great Greel;
philosopher who said that "Incredulity
is the source of all wisdom'"?
How Lodge and Hughes and the other
twenty-nine must chuckle at the gullibility
of the average voter! Thousands
fell for it. Thousands are now
falling for that other great piece of
bunkum, the President's claim to
great economies in the administration
of the. government When this session
of Congress adjourns along in the
Dog Days of August, or later it will
fminr) that the appropriations for
the support of the government will
be fully as large as for the previous
year.^and that saturnalia of extrava
gance was also a Republican financial
debauch.
H .H. Kchlsaat, for many years tin
editor of Chicago's great Republican
newspaper and the friend of McKinley
and Hanna, tells in his autobiography
' a little tale of Lodge which, had it
been known fn the fall of 1920, would
havecaused the public to take with a
grain of salt hi3 promise that Harding
would lead the cpuntrv into the
League of Nations. Of course his
manifesto was given out in ord.r t<
hold to Harding those Republican
who favored the League. Kohlsaa
tells how he urged Hanna to show tc
Lodge the draft of the financial plank
on which McKinley was to run?a
plank sawed out in the off cos of .1
P. M. & Co., in Wall Street, just opposite
the New York Stock Exchange
Hanna swore a mighty oath and r fused,
saying that Lodge couldn't be
trusted to keep it under hi> hat
Kohlsaat over-persuaded him. however
and with Hanna's reluctant permission
showed the plank to Lodge, who beg
ged a copy on promise of secrecy.
What was Kohlsaat's chagrin to find
that the Boston papers had it the nox'
morning with Lodge headlined as the
author of the plank, and the A sociated
Press wiring it to St. Louis under a
Boston date line! And thus Lodge
slipped under the canvas and made all
Massachusetts believe that it was hi
brain that achieved that monumental
financial hocus-pocus that fooled ih
people in the year of 1S96. Now th )
question - naturally arises, who engineered
the hocus-pocus of ll'do.' No
matter wha is entitled to wear tinleather
medal as the champion bullshooter
of the party, certain it i that
they always have a number of both experts
and amateurs warming up to take
their place in the pitcher's box in case
the man assigned to the job ,-hould
blow up.
The Memorial Day exorcises in
"Washington were very impre-sive; the
hub and center of the day's celebration
was at the beautiful Gre k temple of
white marble which the people have
erected to commemorate forever ihc
life and services of the Gr .it Hail
Splitter, Azraham Lincoln. This wonderful
and exquisitely beautiful building
stands in a vast open space on tin
bank of the Potomac, on an eminence
well above the river level; while its
back i3 toward the river, it fronts the
jvasi, wnere lies a long p??ui 11 wuicu
its beautiful columns are reflect <1. In
all the world there is no more str.telv
memorial, none more significant, nom
more impressive. It was given by all
the people, north and south, east and
west, without reference to political
faith or "previous condition of servitude."
It represents the settled conviction
of the American people as t
the character and services of Lincoln.
On Memorial Day it was dedicated in
the presence of many thousands of people.
Able speeches were made by
Presidvnt Harding, ex-l'r< -id: nt Taft
and the negro educator. M ton. who
succeeded Hooker Washington as the
head of Tuskegce Inst'iut". This
writer has heard dozens of <> inioiis
expressed by those who heard all of
the speeches, and it is no disparagement
of the others to say that was tinconsensus

CO-OPERATION PAID
! Oklahoma Cotton Growers Got Real
AInrket Value of Cotton.
Clemson College, June 5.'?The Oklahoma
Cotton Growers' Association
now numbers over 35,000 members,
who sold their 1921 cotton crop cooperatively
atan average gain of $6.50
per bale over the street quotations,
thus proving concretely the value of
operativelv at an average gain of $6.50
lina farmers who have not yet joined
the association now being organized
in this state and who have any doubts
left as to the practical benefits of the
organization should read the extracts ^
below from the report of the recent v
oiivention of the Oklahoma Associa- r
tion and then lose no time in joining: s
"Oklahoma cotton farmers are a- ^
head of the game nearly 3-4 million r
dollars this year as a result of hav- ^
ing marketed their crop co-operative- j
lv, according to ^.figures made public c
by the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' v
Association. The association, which r
is a nonprofit, nonstock, 110 percent s
pool, co-operative cotton marketing ^
organization has a membership of
thirty-five thousand actual growers, a
who have signed legally binding con- q
tracts to market all of their crop thru j
the organization for a period of seven ^
years. c
"With approximately 15 per cent of q
its members' crop yet to sell, the as- p
sociation shows a gain over the aver. t
age street price of $6.50 per bale. On a
the one hundred thousand bales hand- ^
led by the association this year, this
represents a total gain of $650,000. "The
association is credited by l
those familiar with the Oklahoma cotton
market in past years with having |
"discovered" good middling cotton.
This grade was seldom found in the
state under the old system of street .
-ales, when the grower had no facilic
ties for determining the actual quality ^
and sold on the buyer's grade and
o
staple at the buyer's price.
"The Oklahoma Cotton Growers'
Association," said Eugene Meyer,
managing director of the War Finance
Corporation, in an address, "by finding
a way to finance its products over
the period in which it is to be marketed.
instead of domain? immediately
it h picked, has exerted a decided in- ^
fluenee toward stabilized prices. This (
organization was also largely responsible
for the high price which obtained '
early in the season." j,
"Thru co-operation on the "Okla- ^
Jioma plan" the cotton growers of ^
that state have for the first time been
able to borrow money in sufficient {
quantity to finance their crop on
terms they were able to meet. ^
"A considerable additional saving to
association members has been effected
in the elimination of 'country dam- .
is
age* or weather damage/ as all a--sotion
cotton is warehoused immediately
it is delivered to the association ^
by the member. .,
"Cotton firms have found that they ^
can come to the association's office
r
ind find samples of any quantity of
my quality of cotton they may desire.
Tiny have found further that they ..
II
can buy such cotton at a fair price (
on the market of that day. This Leaves
them the expense of sending men into f
tit.' interior markets to buy perhaps ^
bales of cuiton from which they
c: u ort out just the 100 or 200 bales ^
they want of a particular grade and
I ll
staple. The association is performing j
i service for them in offering them;
I c
cotton, readv to deliver, in even runI
c
ning lots Naturally they are willing} s
to pay a premium for this service, and i
the association member benefits."

... .?t|
are making a record of absenteeism v
and ne-lect of public business that will a
surely return to plague them . 11
"On yesterday, when a call of the
Senate was made, only 30 Republican 1
senators answered to their names, "o. 1
-ibly each of the absentees had a good
excuse lor his absence; but in the list
| appeared the names cf several who a
h ive been habitually abseu'.. although
'hey are lported to be in good health ^
and anxious to serve their country as
senators. So anxious are some of
tbelli, in fact, that they have deserted t
tin- Senate chamber for the stump,
whore thev rely upon their eloquence
to convinc the voter that this is the
j bt.--t Congress that has ever met."

of the boll weevil problem
rere entered into with a view of ar-j
iving at a policy by which to fight j

cason. After full discussion of var-j
dus phases of the subject the confer- j
noes drew up policies upon which
11 agree for the present year. In adition
to a continuation of the policies
nd measures advocated heretofore
right varieties, small acreage, put.

olding more hope than any other
lethod of direct control, but to be unertaken

HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1022 <

One fellow said the early bird catch- \
es the worm, and the other fellow said J
the worm was a fool for getting up in
the morning. Maybe theye're both
right. It's funny how things exactly
opposite are often exactly the same. It's
as cold at the south pole as it t
ihe north nole. if you can believe what
llie explorers say, and nobody seen:*
to doubt them. Hustle a little harder,
do a bit more than the other fellow,
some folks say, and then others saj
that's a scheme of the rich to get tiepoor
to work more for les3. Of course
if everybody followed the plan there
wouldn't be anythin' to it, but what'}
the use of livin' in a theoretical world
when we have a real thing with us c.erv
day? Maybe doin' thething we
have to do thoroughly is the best h<:
