COX'S CHARGES SUS-
' TAINED.
MR.! (HARRY BLAIR assistant Jljf
publican treasurer literally spill-
ed the. beans when he got in the wit-
ness chair at Chicago to testify as t
the party's campaign plans. He ad-
mitted all the charges which Governor
Cox had made with reference to the
Republican slush fund plans and add-
ed to the record some -very damaging
1 1
information which Governor Cox Iiad
not placed before the country.
"Whether they carry out the plans is
not important now; but it has been
established by the testimony of Re-
publican leaders themselves that It
was their Intention to create a cam-
paign! fund to literally "buy the presi-
dency" as Governor Cox charged.
By (their own evidence the' leader?
of the Republican party are convicted
of a conspiracy to corrupt the elec-
torate. We shall see what the elec-
torate thinks of such political prac-
tices when the vote is counted in 07
member. .
ORGANIZED FARMERS.!
T HE-BULLETIN wishes to commend
to all its readers for tfiejir
1 - -
: thoughtful consideration .Mr. 0. P-
Griffln's discussion of farmers orgaii-
izatidns which was publihhed in the
I 1
-Public Opinion column yesterday. It
is" a clear-cut presentation of a vejp'
interesting matter by a man who lis
.probably more in touch vtith '-the ac- J
tual .farming conditions of Bron
county than any other man but. who.e
-sympathy for the farmer does not or-
'erbalance his conceptions of right arid
wrong.
"Collective bargaining is a weR
..established practice with everybody
except the. farmers" Mr. Griffin said.
And why not with the .farmer? AVe
must remember that the collective bar-
gaining in which the laborer In air-
craft . engages is for the purpose at
selling his product which Is his labor

Against the plan of organizing far

may be that such a condition would
;belthe result of farmer organization;
hut what of it? Isn't the farmer en
titled to a fair profit upon the prod-
ucis which he sells? Undoubtedly
f
yes. And the experience of all prop
.' erly conducted farmer organizations
for marketing purposes has heen that
careful organization ha srfo decreased
1 the cost of marketing that a satisfac
. tory profit can be secured -without
raising the selling price while all the
-j
same time the quality ofthe product
is invariably greatly improved.
Orators have made the welkin ring
with wonderful (.flights of Thetpjcal
flubdub about the poor- hard-working
farmer who labors from sun to sun
for a bare existence for himself and
his family while -the organized labor-
ing men in the city works six or
eight hours per day and rides in a
limousine. If they are genuinely in-
terested in the welfare of the farmers
let them devote their efforts to aiding
the farmers to market their products
profitablj. The consumer does not
care whether the fanner works one
hour per day or fourteen hours per
day; but the consumer does care about
the price which the farmer will accept
for his products. Regulating the hours
of -work on the farm would accomplish
nothing except the ruin of the farmer;
helping him to regulate through prop-
er organization the methods under
which his products are sold would
make the fanner independent. And If
there is any individual on earth who
deserves hisT hire; it is the man who
raises the food that sustains tlm na
tion.
MALIGNING THE WOMEN.
THE BROWNWOOD NEWS ha'es a
woman voter like the Devil .hates
prohibition. . But why does it seek
to attack the characters of Democratic
women voters with such insinuations
as are contained iin the following gem
of literature clipped from its current
Issue? !
The Fort Worth Record announcing
the opening of the Democratic conven-
tion in that city.' in double column
headlines says: Convention Organiz-
es Amid Love Feast with Women."
And thus the modern Deinocratir con-
vention is a love feast with women.
At the San Francisco Democratic con-
vention women are said to have sat
astride of men's shoulders in the pa-
rades around the hall. They have
found out recently that politics is an-
other serious cause of domestic trou-
ble and divorce. There Is ample
grounds for it . when a newspaper
styles a political convention as a love-
feast with women.
We repeat quite respectfully why
attempt to malign the women voters0
All the world knows that the story

cisco convention jhall astrid- the necks

just what the esteemed News did at-
tend to insinuate about the women at-
l
tending the Fort Worth convention.
Tom Watson 1. has been given the
Democratic nomination for the Sen
ate in the .Georgia primary. He bas-
ed his. campaign principally upon his
opposition to President Wilson and
the League of! Nations. The Demo
cratic National platform upon which
Governor Cox stands as the party's
nominee favors the League of Na
tions and praises President Wilson
AVhat are the Georgia Democrats go
ing to do with I It In November?
In. other words Candidate Harding
thinks the-League of Nations ought to
be a sort of young ladies' aid society
meeting occasionally at The Hague. to
discuss the terribly high-price of sum
mer furs and the hard time the puny
has controlling the country.
The State Democratic platform is a
conservative 'constructive document
closely patterned after the San Fran
cisco national .platform. The Demo
crats of Texas: can endorse it without
reservation and they will do so in
November. '
The Democratic platform demands
that- the Legislature take steps to
amend the regulations governing the
ballot so that none but citizens may
vote.. The alien in Texas politics will
soon be a thing of the past.

(By International News Service
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. Without
counting the cost of registration the
American Forestry Association an-
nounced today that with 27.0t"t0
women voting approximately twonty-
tlve carloads of paper will bo us?d to
enable them to mark ballots in the vot-
ing booth.
In other figures about 13.400 reams
or about -SOI.OOo pounds of puper will
be pencilled by the women either with
j cross at the top or by scratching
the ticket. Careful estimates of the
association show the paper will cost
$6000.0 and that the .press run on the
ballots will figure 520000. The total
cost including cutting and wrapping
at $5000. will be $100000. The com-
position and (lie plates for such a big
run were it all done in one shop
make up the rest of the association's
estimate.
If half the number of lead pem il.s
have U) be put in to meet the extr ii
election day husinoss that moans
500000 pencils at a cost of not to ex-
ceed fie per pencil and pencils have
gone up like everything els' there.
the association figures is a little bill
of $675000 for the elections boards
to O. K.
This figure does not take into con -
sideration the fact that tons of paper
will be used in registering the women
in order that they may vote.. The as-
sociation has only made estimates on
the Presidential election and the aver-
age size of the ballot in such a case is
16. by 22 inches. The association says
registration which is done in hooks
will probably use up as much more
paper. Here are the questions the
woman will have to answer under
oath :

BROWNWOOD BULLETIN SEPTEMBER 10 1920
John B. Thrift
for remarks to be made by the Judges
whenever thev see lit to do so
"This one little detail of the women
voting is a welcome one" says Chas'
Lathrop Pack president of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association "'for the'
women of the country can now be ac-
tively tJuilisted in a way they ran make
that cn'l fitment Teh for a national for-
est policy. Paper is made from pulp
wood and the newspaper publishers
know a lil about the mounting cost of;
that but' nybe of us are against the!
women vf)tink. because they are going j
to use up tfwj;niy-five carloads of pa-
per to exeicJRe the franchise.
"The woman' of the country are the
great tree nlanters. The women mem-
bers of the American Forestry Associ-
ation are the great workers for con-
servation of our natural resources and
now that they can vote we will hear
much more in a positive way for a
national forest policy.
"Ivura use of paper for voting is
nothing when compared to some of the
uses into which the products of our
forests ar". going at a rapid rate.
Thousands of men are at work and
millions of dollars are invested to put
700.uuo.ooo.ouo matches on the market
every year. I do not believe that quite
all of them go to lighting gas stoves
for beating the husband's coffee evry
morning. I believe ti goodly shaTP
i goes toward lighting his evening pipe
!()ue match concern alone uses two
.hundred thousand feet of yellow pine
logs and sugar pino every -day in thi
j great match industry
So you see the
extra lidrden of our forests because
of the women voting will not be a
great load. The big thing is that now
the women can vote we are Just so
much nearer a national movement that
will conserve our forests which ''.ire
being depleted or destroyed by fire
nearly three times faster than we art-
replenishing them."
