NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The other
day I visited Hing Sing prison to
see a man who once went swim-
ming with our gang in the old
swimmin' hole. He is in the seventh
year of a life term. Prison had al-
ready bleached him gray.
He seemed as devoid of red cor-
puscles as one of those wriggly
things uno finds under a mouldy
board in the cellar. He was stoop-
shouldered, hollow cheated and his
limp hand had the chill of death.
His is the old story—whiskey, loose
companions and murder..
He was in middle years a lonely
old man—playing a desperate game
against loneliness and despair. He
picked with monotony at the cuff
of one sleeve and asked me of those
we had known when we were boys.
I had been his only visitor since he
went up the-river.
The conversation zigzagged from
the creek banks to the hls beyond.
He was living over again the fleet-
ing days of youth. Not once was
there cynicism at the deadly com-
monplaceness of his existence.
There was only regret that he had
muffed happiness.
When I left I asked if there might
be something he wanted outside. He
shook his head but there was a
longing in his eye. So I persisted?
And he said: "You may-think it a
strange request. But there is some-
thing I would like to have—some-
thing of which you would never
dream.
"Rack home, you remember,- my
mother, sister and I lived in a lit-
tle cottage near the creek. It was
the only place of which I have hap-
p memories. It may not be there
now but if it is and you ever go
back take a picture of it and send
it to me."
The photograph has been tke
and no doubt by now has reached
him. I left him with a sinister

This year's cbtton crop, now being
marketed, would seem to insure
sustained prosperity for the entire
South. With improvements evident
in the (exilic markets at home ami
abroad, the small surplus promised
by the', current cutton yield Very
likely will be absorbed in an in-
creased world's cosumption.
Despite the unusual weather this
year, the cotton crop outturn has
been better than expected, and the
quota of production, unlike the. pre-
vious year, is fairly well distribute*}
over the cotton growing states.
Iouisana, for example, ginned
418,174 bales of cotton to Nov. 1
this year, wherens the total lint
crop of 1923 was only 868.000 bales.
While prevailing prices are some-
what under last year at this time,
it is evident that a greater number
of Toulsana producers will benefit
by the larger crop.
What is true of Louisiana also is
true of most of the other cotton
states of the Routh, and since cot-
ton remains the great staple crop
of this section of the country, the
only logical'conclusion is that a fair
degree of prosperity is bound to
continue.
.With the weight of the movement
already passed, it is dpbtful if the
market prices will decline to any
appreciable extent unless something

Horse ' races as an asset to the
exposition find favor in Schneider’s
eyes, who is of the opinion that the
races should be included in the 1925
exposition program. He opposed
the abandonment of the idea of
races for the exposition last fall •
and was one of the interested ob-
servers of the outcome of the racing
program presented here on Armi-
stice Day as a test of Austin’s de-
sire for this form of entertainment.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that th® races will go over and I
for one am in favor of them," he
said.

THE AUSTIN STATESMAN, AUSTIN, TEXAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1924.
New York
Day by Day
The decision of the United States Railroad Labor Boazd
granting increases of about 5 per cent in wages to some
. 75,000 members of the Locomotive Brotherhoods on forty-
five Western roads, is commendable in every way. It is a
i forward-looking step most opportunely taken. With the
country due to enter upon a boom and the railroads on
the upgrade, an increase of pay for the men operating the
tigins is inevitable. It is infinitely better to make the ad-
vance now, when moderate counsels can prevail, than to
E wait until it is forced under circumstances which might
pkave most hurtful to business prosperity.
- -ni Presently the advance can be had to the entire satis-
: faction of everyone and to the injury of no one. Moreover,'
it has been indicated as a public policy, and anticipated,
by the action of the big New York Central system in giving
more pay to its engine service employes. The same pro-
’ portion has been preserved by the labor board in granting
increases on Western roads. Thus, the board has based its
- action upon sound business judgment. Besides the guidance
। of a good example it had the incitement of a brewing row
- between the railroad management and the workers.
; I It acted in time to head off serious trouble which was
: > calculated to produce a jam just when the country had most
i need of a smooth running economic machinery. The rail-
road workers Wanted increased pay, naturally enough, to
3 participate in the new prosperity of the properties they
’ served. The railroad managements wished for easier rules
I to give them the lee-way they require to effect a necessary
i expansion of transportation facilities and enlargement of
1 carrying capacity.
As usual the men were more obdurate than the cor-
5 porations. They were suspicious of the labor board and
g refused to appear before it, while the railroad managements
were perfectly willing to have that body adjudicate the dis-
e pute with their employes. The board, unable to bring
s representatives of the workers before it, had to base its
a decision on information gained- in a previous hearing of
/ similar nature.
Conscious of its great difficulty the board rendered a
E tentative judgment really depending upon later voluntary
B agreement between the two parties. Such a final agree.
L ment should be easily reached as the demands of both
I sides have been met and the-establishment of a working
E accord will rest upon the active co-operation of each with
H the other. -
