See Me at Farmers National Bank STOP MAKING COTTON BY CHILDiREN'S SWEAT (Continued from Page Three.) such a thorough-going law! Children Not Educated. The whole -point 'is this: that nwhile children in all other States and coun tries -have been going to school and getting an education, together with all the advantages and benefits which education confers, we have -been keep ing our children in the 0olds and let ting them grow ip in Ignorance-cam ,parative ignorance at 'the very least. But the main point is this-that we have done all this for nothing. We have made this shameful sacriflee of the immortal minds of our boys and girls for nothing. Why do I say for nothing? Be cause by keeping our children in the fields instead of the schools, we have simply 'produced larger cotton crops than the world was willing to pay high 'prices for. And -the not result is that we here in the South have gotten no more for making big crops of cot ton and keeping our children in ignor ance to do it, than we should have gotten for the smaller crops of cotton we should have made if we had sent our children to school as all the rest of the world is doing. Now let us get back to the negro. In this matter of cotton prices, two can't have one rule for the white man and another for the negro. If the negro cotton farmer prospers, the white cotton farmer ivill prosper. If the negro laborer must accept a low wage scale, the white laborer must accept the samei low wage scale andl the white farmer who works his land must accept the same low wage scale in the form of lower prices for his products. Moreover, if the negro farmer keops his children out of school and in the ctton field, must not the white farmer do the same thing to meet this negro collipetition? PaIy Good Wiages. The South must come- to the point where it will be glad to see the negro get a high wage for his labor. Does it not mean higher wages for the 'white man also? And therefore higher prices for what the South sells? And therefore more dollars for our merchants, bankers and all our busi ness and professional men? And even if a temporary "scarcity of labor" is necessary in order to bring up the South's wage scale to that of other sections, may it not prove a blessing in -the long run? How then can we permanently increase the price of cotton It seems to me that four 'ways are plainly open to us: 1. We must no longer be con(ent to grow anl oversupply of cotton--which means that it will be a cheap labor crop-and With it bly products which pay higher wages for labor and which two can grow ourselves. That cot ton iist lhe 1 "suir)lus crop" aftcr the farm has been made to "feed itself" is old, old doctrine, of course, but '"other foundat ion can no man lay II tan thi w hich(1 is laid'' if we are'( everi to get. hig~h priernd cot ton. 2.

And at the same time help the price of cotton. 3. We should preach the need for a higher owage scale in the rural South which 'would at the same time hold and attrac a more efillcient grade of labor than low wages will over hold or command. And &wo must "go on a strike" against raising full crops of cotton until the world is willing to 'give enough for cotton to enable us to pay this higher wage scale. 4. Instead of foolishly combating cOInpulsory attendance laws every cot ton grower in the South who knows his own interest should insist that such hauws be passed-and enforced for both races. As M. Eugene Street said in a recent article: "I grow cotton and I know that it will be impossible for me to get my cotton crop made and picked without child labor and long hours for women -if I have to sell it at the aveyage price the farmer has got for his cot ton for the last 30 years. And my ex perience would be that of every one else who had -to grow cotton under similar conditions. But would the de mand for cotton cease because it could not be had for the cheap price it ha4 formerly brought? Would pCoile (lult wearing clothes? The demand for cot ton would continue as great as ever and the price would advance until it became sufticient to enable the pro ducer to pay a wage scale that would insure all the labor necessary to pro duce an ample crop, and the South would bo on an equality with the bal ance of the country with its wage scale, bank deposits, flourishing ci-ties and towns, schools, good roads and everything else." In olier words, we can cIII cotton production by putting our children in school Instead of in the fields-as chil dren everywhere else are put-and we -will got just as much for the reduced cotton crops we shall then make as we should get for the lart-a' erops made by sacrificing the lives. n1mids and fu ture welfare of our own ilesh and blood, as we have been fools enough to do for 10 years past.
