- W. C. Williams, secretary of the Society of Agronomy

but if his theory is correct he may come to that, thus lop-

they’d produce less. Less production, better prices. And
the farmers probably would live longer.

X-PRESIDENT OBREGON, of
Da Mexico, is said to have
laughed over reading Secretary
Kellogg's statement on our atti-

Of all nations on earth, the
United States should be the last
to talk about interference with
Latin-American affairs as wrong
or undesirable.
So far as the Western Hemi-

with Latin-American affairs has
been the outstanding feature of
our foreign policy ever since the
Monroe Doctrine was established.
The humor of the situation

come to regard it as our sol

Two Newspapers
nWO changes of interest to the general newspaper world
X occurred this week. In Memphis, Tenn., the News-
Scimitar, a newspaper of standing and influence thruout
the south, was purchased by the Memphis Press. In Knox-
ville, Tenn., the Sentinel, established in 1866, was purchased
by the Knoxville News. The Memphis Press and the Knox-
ville News are Scripps-Howard newspapers, sister publica-
tions of The Fort Worth Press.
Each of these changes brings to a climax an interesting
newspaper romance. Each tells the story of a little four-
page paper which has grown in a few years to a dominant
position in an important southern city. The rapidity of
this achievement, five years in the case of the Knoxville
News, a little longer in the case of the Memphis Press,
testifies to the soundness of the policy on which they were
founded.
This policy is contained in a single phrase—service to
their readers. Dodging all the seeming short cuts to suc-
cess, or at least to financial prosperity, the Press and the
News stuck to that fundamental, building for permanent
success instead. To serve their readers they had to be
honest and fearless. Each in time convinced its city that
it possessed these qualities, that its honesty and fearless-
ness were so basic that the news of the city and the wcrid
was safe in its hands.
With the confidence of their reading public completely
won, the Memphis Press and the Knoxville News, each now
with the largest circulation in its field, have an even great-
er opportunity for service. The Fort Worth Press knows
this opportunity will be met. It extends congratulations
to these newspapers—and to the people of Memphis and
Knoxville.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.— See-
Tn sawing up and down Broad-
way, I did see within the past
week more 10-gallon hats than I
ever beheld in the combined
states of Montana, Wyoming and
Arizona . . . The rodeo has come
to town and, out where the West
Forties begin, the flavor of sage-
brush is colorfully added to the
amazing mixture already to be
found . . .
Not the least incongruous sight
is to witness the cowpunchers,
after risking their necks, tether
their horses in the basement of
Madison Square Garden and then
hurry away to the corner where
their sedans and coupes are park-
ed and ride away thru the great
closed spaces of Broadway . . .
Speaking of cowboys, I am re-
minded of a street in Greenwich
Village where a number of typi-
cally made-to-order Bohemian re-
sorts fight for the tourist trade
. . . In front of one stands a
pirate; in front of the other a
cowboy . . . For some time the
rivalry between the two doormen
had been so keen that sparks flew
at each exchange of glance . . .
Finally the pirate wandered over
and, snapping his fingers under
the cowboy's nose, challenged him
to a riding match in Central Park
. . . The cowboy had never been
aboard a horse and had to turn
down the challenge ... On the,
following day, by way of revenge,
he approached the pirate and
challenged him to a boat race on
the Hudson . . . Alas, the pirate
knew nothing of boats or water
. . . So, at present, honors are
even.
cotton price? Most of the Amer-
ican grown cotton is sold abroad.
For years it found its chief mar-
ket in England, Germany, France
and Austria. The foreign mills
did the fine cotton spinning and
weaving of the world.
But the insurmountable tariff
wall now keeps out the fine cot-
ton goods woven and manufac-
tured abroad. Go to your depart-
ment store and try to buy fine
cotton sheeting or the finer grades
of cotton which used to be used
for ladies’ underwear, summer
dresses, waists and men’s shirts.
You can’t get them, any more than
you can get a bolt of fine linen.
The duties on'such goods are pro-
hibitive. They can't be had at any
price. They do not enter.
Which means—getting back to
the cotton growers' troubles—
that the foreign manufacturer of
cotton goods has been deprived of
his American market and needs
that much less American cotton
for his mills.
NOST traits of human nature
IVI are universal. The more pow-
er a man gets the more he wants,
no matter what his race. He likes
to make other people jump when
he cracks the whip. If he has
the power he will make others live
and act as he thinks they ought
to live and act. If he can't shoot
them’down with bullets he'll try
to smash them with words and
epithets.
And he is particularly danger-
ous to society when he tries to do
his stuff in the name of righteous-
ness. Probably, that western pro-

rHE saddest thing in print in a
1 long time is Mr. Mencken’s
wall about America’s suffering
married men. The Bachelor Sage
of Baltimore says that men do not
get anything out of marriage any
more, that they are martyrs to a
feminine trick and the most dis-
illusioned and dejected gang that
ever trod in pants.
if you have tears, here is where
they must fall. We had not
thought very much about it, but
consider this great country filled
with married men, haggard, woe-
begone, dull and downcast, vic-
tims of this thing called New
Freedom. Did the heavens ever
witness so pitiful a sight as the
great, American husband whose
mamma will not stay home?

Italian dictator has suppressed
free speech, a free press, the right
to assemble peaceably—how he
has made even opposition to him
and his blackshirts a crime—you
can see what some of these admir-
ers of Mussolini would do in this
land of the more or less free if
they could get away with it.
We have had some of the same
sort of tyranny in this country, in
spots. Public officials in the coal
regions of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia have packed some parts
of the Constitution in moth balls
when it suited the convenience and
selfish purpose of coal operators.
New Jersey officialdom in factory
towns have done the same. And
we have had federal and state
judges giving imitations of the
Italian tyrant in using the injunc-
tion to do away with trial by jury.

go out as in the old days. They're
too busy nowadays shooting craps.

The old-fashioned girl who
used to ask, "Does my petticoat
show?" has a daughter who asks,
"Do my knees show?"
MOTHER will go off to her
IVL clubs, and so dad sits mis-
erably in at the stud poker game,
longing for his own fireside, get-
ting no kick out of a straight
flush and mixing his cocktails
with unwilling hand. The trains,
the bleachers, the hotels, the com-
mittee rooms, the streets, are
alive with despondent husbands,
sadly sighing, "My wife's going
to the country, Hurray, Hurray!"
With the keen intuition of a
bachelor, Mr. Mencken sees their
suffering. Well, let ’em suffer.
It's their turn. We did It long
enough, goodness knows. And we
did not squeal or get drunk on
bootleg booze while we were do-
ing it, either.
Q. What is angleworm oil?
A. Technically there is no such thing,
but the term has been applied to a liquid
made by putting a lot of angleworms in
a bottle, that is allowed tn stand in tho
pun for 10 days, which produces a foul-
amelling liquid supposed to be effective bait
for trapping animals
Q. Can you give me some Indi-
an names for 'cradle”?
A. The name varies according to the

"cradle" are "‘Gaahosa,"‘ "Tlmlgan,"

Q. How many immigrants were
admitted to the United States in
1 925? Where do most of them

A. The total number admitted was 294,-

TT GOES without saying that we
I owe something to the present
government of Nicaragua because
we made it.
Indeed, we have been making
governments for Nicaragua Mur-
ing the last 15 years and those
we did not make have been un-
able to attract our sympathy or
support.
In one sense of the word, Sec-
retary Kellogg only fulfills a well
understood obligation in flying to
the rescue of Adolfo Diaz, who
is president of Nicaragua by
grace of American influence more
distinctly than anything else.
This is the same Diaz whom
we maneuvered into the presiden-
cy some 15 years ago and whose
party has been kept in power by
American cash and American
bayonets.
The stupid side of our policy
lies in the assumption that other
nations will refrain from playing
a similar game if it is to their po-.
litical or commercial advantage.
MUSSOLINI suppressed all
IVI newspapers in Italy except
such as he could control. There
are bigots among the drys who
would suppress all newspapers
that criticize the Volstead act;
and, very likely, there are bigots
among the wets who would sup-
press advocates of prohibition.
A man has a right to believe
whatever he wants to believe or
does believe. He has a right to
argue and to attempt to get oth-
ers to agree with his opinions—
if they care to listen. But he has
no right to beat up or sheot down
anybody who doesn't think as he
thinks. Let him be captain of his
own soul, but quit monkeying with
the souls of others.
Whoever said that eternal vig-
ilance is the price of liberty knew
what he was talking about. When
a people sleep on their rights they
may wake up to find they haven’t
any. In the long run Fascism
won’t work in Italy; it won't work
in this country at any time,
(NCE more we strangle the

eggs.
We have merchandise to sell—
raw materials—cotton, wheat. and
other agricultural products. But
we refuse to take in exchange
what the would-be buyer has to
offer. And then we wonder why
onr raw material prices drop. And
we try to explain that the only
reason is "overproduction."

IVI is history but the most ex-
citing kind of history. It is a
history of a rip-roaring period. It
doesn't bother with characters
who shaped the country's des-
tinies in Washington but it does
deal with some mighty picturesque
individuals.
Pilots, captains, bucko mates,
gamblers, dock loafers, highway-
men, southern planters, slave trad-
ers, New Orleans belles and as-
sorted ante-bellum and Civil war
time personalities crowd its pages.
It's an almost uninterrupted rec-
ord of shootings, cuttings, burn-
ing boats, bursting boilers, colli-
sions, wrecks on snags, brutal
murders, heroic rescues, Jim Blud-
so sacrifices, tragedy, comedy and
adventure—all winding up in one
NEXICO, with her advanced
IVI ideas, or radicalism, if you
prefer to call it that, has become
a definite influence in Latin-
America and there is only one
more result that can be traced
directly to our meddling.
If we find it necessary to
shriek against Red propaganda
and to land marines, perhaps,
for fear a Soviet will take root
in Nicaragua or some other little
republic that we fell it our duty
to save for big business, we have
no one to blame but ourselves.
The original revolution against
the Diaz regime in Mexico, was
fomented, if not financed, right
in this country.
Victoriano Huerta was driven
from power by the pressure we
were able to bring against him;
Step by step Mexico was forced
from one government to another
by American interference and,
though the Calles administration
may be antagonistic to many of
our traditions and ideals it is dis-
tinctly our foster child.
If the Calles government,
moreover, has attempted to In-
fluence the political actions in
Nicarague, how can we accuse it
of committing any worse sin than
following the example we set?

Da see them, these pathetic mar-

down their golf courses, sitting
indifferent at their football
games, sighing as they attend
their business conferences, gaz-
ing with tear-dimmed eyes at
musical comedies, and now and
then weeping in anguish upon the
shoulders of a metallic blond—
pale, neglected, hungry, trying to
be brave. But underneath this
noble attempt to bear up under

Mencken's, can discern the poig-

Q. How did the city of I’arls
get its name?
A. The earllest mention of Paris oc-
curs in Julius Caesar’s Commentaries, In
which it is described, under the name of
Lutetia, as a collection of mud huts, com-
posing the chief settlement of the Parlsii,
a Gallic tribe, conquered by the Romans.
In the fourth century, Lutetia began to be
known as l’arisit, or laris.
Q. Is Russia rated as a world
power today in military and naval
strength?
A. The Soviet Republic is one of the
world powers, and, next to France, has I
the largest standing army. The actual
peace strength in July, 1924, of land, na-
val and air forces was 562,967.

THE TALE OF ‘MISSISSIPPI
STEAMBOATIN’ ’ HISTORY
WITH KICK IN IT
By N. D. COCHRAN

,‘3
Quick, novelist, historian of the
midwest and former farm loan
bureau member, died, he and his
son, Edward, were collaborating
on a book, to be called "Missis-
sippi Steamboatin’."
The elder Quick had done none
of the actual work when death
claimed him but he and his son
had discussed the prospective vol-
ume fully.
The latter, familiar with all his
father's ideas and in possession of
the wealth of historical material
he had gathered, accordingly went
ahead with the task and the book
has just appeared in Washington.
The work is unusual in that it
bears, together with his son's, the
name of a widly known author
who was no longer living when
the first chapter was written. It
might very well have been from
his own hand, however, for it has
all the distinguishing Quick ear-
marks.

Q. How did the terms 'flapper”
and "vamp" become part of the
modern vocabulary?
A. "‘Flapper’’ wan a term applied to
young birds when they were first trying
to fly, and someono applied It to yonng
girls who are just diacovering themselves
and are mnking thelr first foray Into tne
world. The term "vamp" mplies an ex-
pertenced female person, with seductive
powers. It is n short form of "vampire,”

that sucked the blond of the living while

Q. Is it correct to say "ain’t”?
A. It is not good form. The dictionary
defines it ns a vulgar contraction of the
negative phrases "am not" and ‘‘are not";
often used for "Is not," and also with a
variant "haln't" for "have not" and "has
not."

A LREADY my friends are responding to the little feeler I sent out
, yesterday relative to a proposed contest to “Find a Married Man
Who Is Happy in the Thought That Christmas Is Just Around the
Corner.”
Here is one of the letters that came to my desk this morning:
I seen your announsed intenshun of holdin a contest as aired in
your Colum Fri. While I aint a happy married man
A3 —or unhappy neither—I aint a man atall. But that
6% D tack dont deter me none in my determinashun to
F»,8 tell you that you got my undivided permishun to go
4Q-•3 right ahead with your aforesaid announsed inten-
".G) shun of feelin out the publik in your desire to
of protection for smaller mem-
bers of the family. Europe sim-
ply won't play the part of ag-
gressor this doctrine was de-
signed to prevent. There hasn't
been a scheme to steal Latin-
American territory for 30 years
and we have been left with a
doctrine on our hands which we
could not prove worth maintain-
ing, except by interference with
Latin-American politics.
Latin - American republicans
have come to feel that they have
more to fear from us than from
Europe and they are more
alarmed at what the United
States may do to them in' the
role of protector than what other
nations may be do to them with-
out the United States assuming
such a role. It is high time
that we recognized the obvious
change in conditions, that the ad-
mitted Holy alliance no longer
exists and discarded the idea of
Latin-America being menaced by
the threat of European conquest
or colonization.
If we feel the necessity of su-
pervising Latin-American affairs,
of landing troops and forcing ac-
ceptance of administrations,
whether the people like them or
not, we would do far better to be
perfectly frank about it than to
offer the hypocritical excuse that
we must uphold the Monroe Doc-
rtine, that since we have under-
taken to protect the Western
Hemisphere against Europe, Eu-
rope expects us to keep it or-
derly.

I hibition judge who put violators
of the Volstead law on bread and
water got a kick out of the
thought that any form of cruelty
was justified when done in the
service of the Lord.
There is cruelty in the heart of
a bigot who will try to enforce
his will on others by force. There
was cruelty in the hearts of the
devout Christians who burned so-
called witches at the stake in the
early days of Massachusetts. So
with those Louisiana reformers
who murdered a pair of bootleg-
gers and drove an empty-headed
country girl of easy virtue from
the state. Also with the hooded
knights of the bedsheet who strip
and beat men and women whose
morals are not up to the required
standard.

was denied its claim on the $500,-

reported Saturday.
The higher court upheld the de-

claims of the widow and heirs who
contested the will.
A settlement in which the Spir-

purely unintentional on Herbert

They undoubtedly set out to
write straight history.

happens that it's so exceptionally

of it that it's better than a novel.
