SENATOR DIAL ON
COTTON FUTURES
In a recent speech Senator Dial
called attention to the iniquity of the
cotton futures market stating that he
had introduced last year an amendment
to the cotton futures contract
law that has been pending before a
subcommittee of the senate for 12
months. The South Carolina Senator
said that he was not asking sympathy
but was asking justice for the cotton
farmers of the south.
The indisposition of Congress to do
anything for the suffering farmers
aroused the Senator to such an extent
that he used the caustic language
which is given below.
Senator Dial quoted from the report
of the National Agricultural
Congress giving the cost of raisitig
a crop of cotton in which these figures
were presented:
The balance of $182.50 represents
labor for the entire year for man,
wife and two children, which is Gi
cents a day for 300 days. On a 305day
basis, this gives a total revenue
of 10 cents per day for each member
of the tenant's family of four. That.
mese nsuii's are not overdrawn eun
be readily proven by reference to the
production statistics of the Department
of Agriculture, which are readily
available.
Referring to this report, the Senator
said:
"I charge the Congress?and I realize
that this is pretty strong language?with
being in favor of the
bears on the cotton market?uninintentionally,
of course, but the disasterous
result for the farmer is the
same. The law simply amounts to confiscation,
and I am making every effort
in my power to get the Agricultural
Committee of the Senate to report
this amendment. If it should be
reported, I believe that there will be
little objection on the floor of the
Senate. If we can get it enacted into
law, it would help the condition of the
laboring people of my section of the
country more than anything else or
perhaps everything else that we could
do in their behalf.
"These figures, Mr. President, are
not mine. They are from this report
of our own committee, and I say they
are startling, indeed."
TAXING SALT, POTASH,
BAGGING AND TIES
In another article The Advertiser
refers to a speech by Senator Dial in
which he tans the hides of the Republican
Senators because of the high
tariff bill that they are trying to impose
upon the country.
Now here comes Senator Heflin of
Alabama, and he puts salt oil those
same hides. This is what he sani in
the Senate.
"I never thought that the Rjpubhcan
Partv would dare undertake to
put salt?table salt, sack salt, and every
kind ol' salt?upon the lax list.
Through the years behind us it has
been tax free?on the free list. The
Bible speaks about salt having lost its
savor, but under the reign of the
Republican Party salt has lost its
place upon the free list. Every man
who kills a chicken, who butchers a
pig or a lamb or a kid of a hog or a
yearling, must have salt.
"Salt is something that we need
and must have all the time. Hereafter
every child, every boy, girl, man
or woman who takes up a saltcellar
on the table and goes to season his other
food will say: "Think of it, the 1
Republican Congress hus placed a
tax upon salt."
"I say to you tonight, by a record
vote, take salt off the free list and
^lace a tariff of 40 cents a sack, or
I a ton, upon it. Many men in the
/attic business and hog business and
/heep anil goat Dusiness use many
tons of salt t very year, and you have
increased their expense bill by your
?ote to-night. The cattleman with his
great herds feeding this night on the
western pUirv, and the livestock man
everywhere, who uses salt to meet the
needs of his cattle, horses and mules,
has been burdned by the vote that you
cast a moment ago to place a tux upon
salt. Nobody will escape the tax
that you have just laid upon the backsj
of the consuming masses of America."
Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia,
showed up the iniquity of the tariff
as affecting the cotton farmers of the
South. This is part of his speech:
"Unfortunately for the South, the
principal product is cotton,CO per cent
of which is exported, and our farmers
must compete with the pauper labor
of Kgypt, India, China, and other
countries of the world. Th? tariff dots'
not help the southern farmer, as no
short-staple cotton is imported into
this country; even pauper labor of the
world can not compete with us. I
greatly regret that under this bill
they are putting a tax on potash fertilizers,
bagging, ties and everything
else the farmer and his family consumes
and must use in producing his
crop. The price of cotton is not fixed
>y the cotton producer of the South,
but by the Liverpool and New York
Cotton Exchanges, which are manipulated
against the cotton producer.
After paying expenses of labor, taxes
and ao forth, the farmera who own the
their investment than the owner of' (
any other farm lands in our country.'
Our farmers would be only too glad to
pay more for labor if they could get a
better price for cotton, which at presen
is far below the cost of production.
Under the tariff bill we are now considering
when it becomes u law it will j
not help increase the price of cotton,1
but it will greatly increase the cost of j
living to the farmer's family who
raises cotton, when his burdens are h
already greater than he can bear." tl

WASHINGTON COMMENT , e
That business should not profit u
at the expense of the health of little J*
children is a universal belief. That ^
child labor is expensive to the nation, ](, .
an offense against decency, undesired e
by those who put the welfare of the fif
race and their country above immediate
monetary is undeniedxzfiflfffil
But there are worse things than ^
child labor; things which could wreck
these United States much quicker ^
than the exploiting of many little
children. J a
One of these is the overthrowing n
of those foundation stones upon j
which this nation is built; let there: *
oe no foundation and the super- *
structure will crumble. Let there be
no nation, and children here will be s'
as are the children of Russia? a
starved, helpless, dead by thousands. 11
The Supreme Court of the United ^
States has ruled that the 1919 child
labor law was unconstitutional.
Let us by all means do away with v
ren rejoiced. But there are many P
who love chidren who have not criti- ^
eized the decision, just as there n
have been many wno are heart and 1
soul for prohibition who believe the n
eighteenth amendment and the Volstead
Act have done more harm than
good. Admittedly, the 1919 child labor
law would have stopped child laoor.
But it would also open the doors
i-o the federal government taking over
all rights not reserved to and by the '
states, a thing expressly forbidden in 1'
the fundamental iaw of our land.
Let us. by all means, do away with "
child labor. But let us do it by
aroused public sentiment, by state c
legislation, by education, by willingness
to follow Him who would "
have little children suffered to come u
unto Him, not by tampering with the u
strength of the country where children
are most free, where children ^
have most opportunity, where child- "
ren are best protected. a
Let us thank God for a Supreme
Court which thinks of the country ^
as a whole, even before it thinks of
exploited children.
"What is the matter with the
church?"' ask many devout churchgoers,
ministers, church authorities
and serious-minded laymen.
There are a thousand answers. One
of them is brought forcibly to mind
when the proceedings of a gathering <
of a certain church are read and it is
found that emphasis is being placed
upon the necessity for ministers
strictly to "maintain the moral law"
by refusing to marry one who has
been divorced for any other reason
than infidelity.
That, bretheren of the church, is
one of the things the matter with it;
ihe refusal to recognize that the human
mind demands equity in its religion
as well as its civic law.
Marriage, a sacrament in the
church, is made with mutual promises t
to love, to honor, to cherish, to be i
faithful. "But," says the church, "if t
you break one of these you may be
free of marriage bonds, but if you t
keep that one and break all the rest, r
bound you must be!" A man may beat i
his wife, get drunk on home-made 1
hooch and stay out all night, go to 1
prison for felony, be cruel to his chil- t
dren, bring disgrace upon his family, i
"Never mind all that," says the l
church, "stay married." But a man!
may be all that is good and kind and c
upright and honorable and temperate (
in every other way; if he is once un- t
faithful, than, says the church, di- ^
vorce by all means.
The innate sense of justice with I
which we are all born protests against v
the idea that a helpless woman must t
stay bound to a brute who maltreats .
her and his children, merely because
ms lapses do run toward the other f
woman." The law recognizes extreme i
cruelty, desertion, and felonies as just
causes for divorce in most states; ?
when the church as a whole does also
there will be less reason for it to ask,
"What is the matter that men venerat
me less each year?" '

WHY DO WE EAT?
From the earliest history of man
is efforts have been directed toward
he maintaining of life. This has inolved
combat with and flight from
nemies, the quest of food and mate.
These primary needs are as insisent
today as they ever were. Though
lodern man realizes that he cannot
ve by bread (and meat) alone, that
e has needs of a higher nature, men1
and spiritual. Still the need or propr
phyhical nourishment cannot be nelected
without disasterous results.
With the development of civilizaion
has come a refinement in the
ood of man that has brought in its
rain a series of physical ailments,
'herefore, man finds it necessary toay
to turn both his science and his
rt toward the problem of feeding
ian, the animal.
It is possible for man, while eating
hree meals a day, to die of starvaion.
Thousands upon thousands do
evelop diseases of malnutrition,
uch as palagra, Berri Berri, Scurry
nd Rickets (in children), while catlg
an abundance of food, but food
eing improperly balanced, deficient
i certain properties.
The food of our early ancestors
/as bulky, that is, contained a large
roportion of undigestable matter. Wei
nd that a large part of civilized
lan's intestine trouble is due to his
efinements of food,the illimination of
ecessary to return to them.
The bulkiness is supplied by such
ulad greens as spinach, turnip salad;
liese bulky properties and it has been
alad greens as spinach, turnip salad,
abbage, celery, etc.
We eat for nourishment, to satisfy
lie craving for food. We dine for
leasure, to enjoy the flavor of food.
For civilized people, not only eattig
but dining is a necessary luxury.
Attention should not always be foused
on nourishment,
ining hour arrives the occasion
tietic custom in which the nutritional
lenient is subordinated to the pleasrable.
This is as it should be. Foods should
e properly selected, but when the
ining hour arrives the occssion
liould be enjoyed for its own sake.

THE ANQEL WITH THE FROZEN
HEART."
IN 1793, with the French revolution
at Its height, a flfteen-year-old
girl was married to a banker almost
flfty and all Paris smirked. But Paris
would have been ashamed If It hud
known, as historians believe, thut
Jacques Recamler was the father of
his bride, Jeanne, and married her so
that she might have his powerful protection.
Throughout his life he kept
a paternal attitude toward her.
Mme. Recamler undoubtedly was one
of the most beautiful women who ever
graced Paris. An admirer said that
she had a "complexion that Is a bowl
of milk wherein float rose leaves." Another
tells us of her "orange-tinted
vyva hnu hii agreea mat sne was "tne
angel with the frozen heart."
From the welter of the revolution
and the reign of terror Napoleon
emerged. When he had made himself
secure he looked about at the
beautiful women of Paris and his fancy
fell on Mme. Recamler. He made
lazy love to her. But she refused
him. Napoleon, In a spiteful humor,
ruined her husband and banished her.
Then the two left for Italy. There
Prince Augustus of Prussia fell In
love with the banker's wife and wanted
her to become his princess. Again
she declined. Luclen Napoleon, brother
of the emperor, lost his head over
her. After him came the gallant Genoral
Bernadotte, and left disappointed.
Benjamin Constant, the statesman,
loved her, and she made him an
Instrument of revenge against Nu poleon,
but granted Constant nothing. General
Moreau was next, then Murat,
king of Naples. Mme. Recamler Inveigled
him Into conspiracies against
his master, who fell not long afterwurd.
And the Recnmlers went back
to Paris, leaving Murat empty handed.
Mme. Recnmier's salon became the
most brilliant center of the restoration.
Recamler died and a thousand suitors
besieged his beautiful widow.
When 6he was more than fifty she
met the only man to whom her heart
was not indifferent, Chateaubriand,
the author, a cranky, saddened man.
But even theirs was a platonlc love,
for It seemed that her heart could no;
be warned and won. She tended him
In Ids last days and died soon afterward.
Perhaps she really loved him

"BUFFALO CHIP" JIM WANTED
TO BE LIKE BUFFALO BILL
Plain Jim White was h's mime, hut
along the whole western frontier he
was known as "Buffalo Chip" Jim,
a name which he carried to his grave.
He had been a boyhood friend of Buffalo
Bill, and when Cody becnme an
Indian scout, White also took up that
occupation. For years he was Buffalo
Bill's faithful follower?halfservant,
half-"partner." He copied
Buffalo Bill's dress, his speech and
the way he walked. He let his hair
grow long in Imitation of Cody. Ha
was always at the famous scout's Ride,
and took more care of Buffulo Bill's
guns and horges than he did of his
own.
Avo stories of how he got his name
are told. One Is this: General Sheridan
hail arrived at Fort Wallace,
Kan., and was seeking Buffalo Bill to
guide him on a buffalo hunt. White
appeared and told the general that
Cody was away.
"But when Mr. Cody Is away, I'm
Buffalo BUI," declared White.
"The h?1 you are!" said "Little
Phil" with contempt. "Buffalo chips,
you mean 1" And the general stamped
away angrily.
According to the other version of
White's christening, one night at Fort
Laramie he claimed the tight to ho
known by some other name than simple
Jim White, something descriptive
of his close friendship for Buffalo Bill.
"All right," said Major Morton of
the Ninth Infantry. "We'll call you
Buffulo Chips'1"
White was with the Fifth cavalry
when It attacked Chief American
Horse's camp at Slim Buttes, S. D?
In the autnmn of 1876. After the defeat
of the Indians, the soldiers began
hunting down little parties of Sioux
hidden In the gulches and ravines
near the edge of a cliff. He had
raised himself to his feet and was
ready to Are at a warrior down In
the ravine when a shot rang out.
White sprang In the nlr, clutched

9PTT*mmi WJ A mw TT uvwvi my uuiuaiv,
VTHEN Policeman William Lawrence
of Bath, Me., was found
in a dying condition?a bullet
tying drilled a hole through his lung
-it was only natural that Dennis
racey should take up the trail of the
mrderers. Tracey wns Lawrence's
osest friend on the force.
No one knew anything about th3
ircuniBtances which led up to the
rime, and, apparently, there was lite
hope of discovering any cine, belUBe
Lawrence, though not dead when
Lscovered on the following morning,
as extremely weak from exposure
ad loss of blood. According to the
hysiclans, it was practically a ctorilnty
that he would die without rejvering
consciousness.
After leaving orders at the hospital
hat he was to be notified at once if
is friend showed signs of being able
? talk, Tracey visited the scene of the
hooting 4n the hope of being able to
nd footprints or other evidence which
rould assist him in the search which
e Intended to make. The investlgalon.
however, was entirely fruitless.
The dying policeman's revolver had
een tired three times, but without
ffect?for Tracey found the bullets
)dged In the rafters of a nearby wareouse,
sufficiently close together to
rovlde a hazy outline of the place
rom which Lawrence's assailant mast
iave fired. So far as Tracey was able
o reconstruct the affair, Lawrence had
ome upon some one trying to break
nto the wnrehouse, had probably
earned him by a shot over his head
nd followed that by two other shots
vhlch failed to take effect. The burger
hnd then turned and fired point
ilank at the policeman, dropping him t
rhere he stood.
But who wns the other man?
Tills was the question to which
rrnee.v determined to devote ns much
line ns necessary, th? problem wlth?ut
a clue.
It was late the following night beore
Lawrence's condition showed any
;igns of change, and then only for the
vorse. The physicians gave him only
i few hours to live, and Traeey hung
'ontinually over the hed, hoping for
mine word or sign which would provide
an Indication of the murderer's
dentlty. Finally It came.
With an almost superhuman effort
he dying ofllcer raised himself on one
dhow, and gathering every ounce of
lis fast-falling energy, whispered the
dngle word:
"Wll-kln-son 1"
Then he fell back, dead.
But that last word was enough. Had
It not been Traeey who heard It, It
ivould have meant nothing?for the
two officers had been secretly working
i>n' a number of recent warehouse
liurglarles nnd they alone knew of the
suspected connection of Daniel Wilkinson,
son of a prominent New Hanophlre
family, with the one-roan thefts.
\To\v Traeey knew that not only was
VUklnson guilty of the burglaries, but
of a far greater crime?the murder of
Policeman Lawrence.
Putting himself In the place of the
criminal, Traccy fe't certain that the
latter would not remain In or around
Bath. He must have known that Lawrence
had recognized hlin, nnd would
fear that the dying man would And
some way of imparting this knowledge.
It was probable, therefore, that he
would head for some hiding-place
where he would be comparatively safe.
Knowing that Wilkinson's family, In
nn effort to whiten the character of
the black sheep, had sent him to sea a
number of years before, Traeey
thought It likely that the fugitive
would attempt to Join the crew of a
sailing vessel and lose himself In a
foreign port. He accordingly warned
me authorities of all the New Eng'ond
sea ports to be on the watch
for a man of Wilkinson's description,
and then, securing leave of absence,
he took up the search?combing the
waterfronts of every city and town
rrom the Canadian border to Boston.
It was nearly six months later, af*
er he had almost abandoned hope,
hat Tracey wandered along the
wharves at Bangor and spotted the
man he wanted "porting" lumber Into
the schooner Good Intent, at the foot
of the Railroad street wharf. Without
a sound the policeman edged his
way along the dock until he was behind
Wilkinson, and then dropped on
top of his man, flattening him to the
deck.'*' Almost before he knew what
had happened the fugttlv* found himself
handcuffed and on his way back
to Bath, there to be convicted of the
murder of William Lawrence, after
one of the hardest-fought legal battles
In the history of the state. 5
The fact that, In the shadow of the r
state prison wall at Thomaston, there
stands today a headstone bearing the
numerals "2tt8r>," does not close the
case, for there nre many who claim
that the murderer had powerful friends
who succeeded In saving him from the
gallows and helped spirit him out of
fh A AAlinteiT I"*'* 1 " ""
...^ iiimi cm- \ iiunman wormwest.
But Traooy, who Is now house
detective at a big Florida hotel, considers
that he fulfilled his obligations
to his dead friend, when, after months
of patient searching, he located the
man who was responsible for Lawrence's
death and produced the evidence
which led to his conviction.
"Maybe Wilkinson Is still alive,"
says Trwey, "but the soul of Bill Lawrence
