President Wilson, without
doubt, will go down in history
as revered-in memory as Abra-
ham Lincoln or William McKin-
ley. In the stress of the world’s
war, with the nation’s commer-
cial facilities insecure, submerg-
ed by criticism and scorn, point-
ed to as the "man who did not
force recognition of the flag,”
Woodrow Wilson guides the
“Old Ship of State” serenely
past the breakers.
In fact, the preservation of
the neutrality of the United
States for the past six weeks
has been an extremely difficult
task and only clear sightedness,
coolness, perfect singleness of
purpose and devotion to a high
sense of duty, could have steer-
ed us safely through the cat-
aclysm. To Wilson, war is not
glory. The glamour of the fray
to him is metamorphosed into
serried hosts of mothers’ sons
marching to death. To Wilson,
war is desolate homes, broken
hearts, bereaved mothers, and
a bankrupt nation. To Wilson,
it were better to take the scorn
of jingoes anxious to embroil
the United States in war than
to precipitate the nation into
this seething caldron from
which calamity every thinking
citizen earnestly hopes to be
delivered. Far should it be
from the intent of any true
American to criticise this heroic
leader of affairs who is so tire-
lessly and earnestly endeavor-
ing to preserve peace, happiness
and prosperity.
Henry Ford has been called
an idealist in business methods
—however, he has put those
idealistic notions into practical
use and with marked success.
His idea is ever to cultivate the
latent personality in every em-
ployee and to throw him as
muh as possible upon his own
initiative. In his recent testi-
mony before the Industrial Re-
lations Committee, he declared
that he could take every crim-
inal out of Sing-Sing prison and
make a man of him. To sub-
stantiate this, he said there
were many ex-convicts now in
his employ, “making good.”. Mr.
Ford seems to have made a
close study of the question and
concludes that the many mis-
fits in life are so and remain so
only because they have not
found their true work. In
choosing a calling for a child
and one rabbit’s foot. Bury
them two miles from home and
walk out and back once a day
-to see that they are still there.”
That E. H. R. Green is right
in advising Texas farmers to
plant all the cotton they can,
subject, of course, to the pro-
duction of an abundance of feed-
stuff, The Evening Journal can
not agree. Nevertheless, re-
cent activity in the cotton mar-
ket betokens better times for
the South’s leading product.
Mr. Green’s optimism for cot-
ton is based largely upon the
fact that the warring Nations
are burning much gun cotton,
and probably will continue to
do so for some time to come.
Seemingly, however, the po-
sition of cotton is strong for
two reasons: War is on, and
soon may become more intense,
and peace is very much in pros-
pect.
It is said that a bale of cot-
ton is consumed every time a
42-centimeter gun is fired. Bom-
bardment of the Dardanelles
fortifications, therefore, is us-
ing up much cotton, and with
the opening of the spring cam-
paign. the consumption of the
staple is bound greatly to in-
crease.
Upon the other hand, if war
should cease, undoubtedly the
industrial demand for cotton
will be tremendous.
It seems, therefore, that the
owners of cotton have a sure
thing in so far as the immedi-
ate future is concerned. But
this does not justify planting
the whole face of the earth in
cotton. It must be remembered
that all foodstuffs are high in
price, and are almost certain to
continue so for some time to
come. Moreover, these will be
harvested before cotton, and
the farmer who would play
safety and who would secure
early returns from his labor
will devote a considerable part
of his farm to food crops.—Dal-
las Evening Journal.

Some few from this commu- us.
nity went to town Saturday to
ably rich and to which every
foreigner looks with longing
eyes as to a real Utopia? The
land of Texas is far famed for
its rich quality and boundless
expanse. The climate is varied
—from the extreme north of
the State to the southern tip,
one may experience any variety
of climate from a polar chill to
a tropical snooze. Fifty-’leven
different crops may be raised in
the confines of the State and
each part of the domain is pe-
culiarly adapted for some spec-
ial branch of industry. The
trouble is that we are so accus-
tomed to see these acres lying
out that nothing is done to util-
ize them according to anything
like their real value. In the old
world, every inch of ground is
made to produce and to them,
one or two acres is a small for-
tune. This must be true where
space is always at a premium.
But in Texas, whose acres have
been called as "boundless as the
blue sky.” we are ofttimes con-
tent to eke out a mere existence
and never make a serious effort
to accrue, where opportunity is
bountiful. Age is the one sure
thing we will all accrue—and it
is well to make preparation for
the "rainy day.” It can be
done.
You are cordially urged to pay us a visit
and view our showing. You will be very
much pleased.
