The Christian Science Monitor is another New England paper that does not think the pirate farmer of the South ought to be holding up the country on 30-cents cotton. It re calls the "buy-a-bale" movement five year ago the "distress" year when cotton was selling below ten cents - and seems to regard that year as a basis for computing the worth of the staple. In many of the arguments being made against high prices for cotton, the prejudicial inspiration cannot be concealed. It is a fact that the rise in cotton is in company with the rise in price of wheat, al though the natural laws of trade are more in evidence in the case of cotton than in that of wheat. No organiza tion of farmers is responsible for the hi'h pri'.'es pri'.nilii.o-. ' the farmer were eo:iti :,t with ''" cents he could not prevent cotton gt.ir: tu "i) cents. It is t:ot for the fanner who is doing it. When thse v ho deiry h:-h prices for eoi ton shall succeed in breaking down the law of -u;;:!y a'd di ir.and then they mi.-ht bring about lower prices for cotton.

War is bad enouirh without nddintr anv extra sor row before anything has actually happened. Anna Steese Richardson miotes in the October Woman's Home Companion from a letter written to her. The writer of the letter says: "Like most mothers who have given sons to their country, I go out when I can to divert my thoughts. And what do I hear? A friend inquires whether I have heard from my boy and adds, 'Well, I never expected to see the time that I would be glad my three children are girls, but I am now.'

Davis) Special to The Star Let us not pre sume for a moment to say or even im agine that we are our Fathers' favor ite children. In the good and bene fient administration of this govern ment there is no favoritism. When the first form of the divine govern ment was broken up by the sin and fall of our iir.t parents, and the flam ing sword was set over the tree 6f life, lest the fallen ones should eat the fruit of that tree and live in sin ind vrct"hodness, forever, God estab-, li.-hd a new form of government over this new made world, and in His wis- bini and love He determined to re doom the fallen world. To aceom lish that great and generous purpose the Christ in due time should come to our fallen world and die in our stead in our human nature. And to pre pare the world for the coming of the Chri-t Cod called out and laid upor men and nations wondrous honor and responsibility. So to dwell upon Itilde history and historical events with which Star readers are familiar, I am free to say that divine provi dence seems to be preparing our na tion and calling us to prepare the world for the second coming of Christ as the Hebrew children were called to get the earth ready for his first coming. We are His chosen peo ple as were the Israelites. With what wisdom and trembling should we go forward. All the world is now look ing to America for leadership. The greatest of all nations in wealth, com merce, education and moral standards, religious ideals and political power, America is called to the clean nice, progressive position of leadership; and if need be sacrifice and to suffer and to die in the world in the most fearful manner recorded in all his tory. Let us rise up and look up. Our God bids us civilize .Christianize, moralize, democratize and freedomize this fallen, bleeding, old world; pre pared for the second and glorious ad vent of our glory-crowned Lord. Pointing to progress in these war times the Caroleenites are now mov ing up and down under the glare of electric lights. Our spacious and handsome furnish ed new school building is completed and our mill school opens Monday. The school will be in charge of five well squipped teachers. In the home, the school and the church, women are called to do the Lord's work and do so better than men. But in the pul- Dit. on the platform, and in political or public life woman has no place and no call for her is mightier as some of the brethren thinketh. How beautiful and patriotic for the people to donate funds to send the Cleveland Star or the Shelby News five months to each of the soldier boys honoring the name of county and town. SUFFRAGETTES MEET ( Miss Younger and Mrs. Goul Address Big Crowd of Men and Ladies At the Monument Saturday. A very dignified suffragette speak ing, the first in Cleveland county, took place in front ot tho Confeder ate monument Saturday afternoon ,when Miss Maude Younger, Miss Fendall and Mrs. Goul addressed a large body of men and women, en listing their sympathy and support in the national woman's party. Miss i Younger who wts introduced bv ; Mayor Paul Webb stood in Mrs. Gould's handsome Packard aulomo bile and spoke for half an hour, tell ing of the extension of suffrare to women in various states, the picket ing at the White House and the hoi rors of the prison sentence to which the suffragette picketers were sub jected at the district prison in Virgin ia. She declared that the banner.? the 'women carried about the White (House were inscribed with phrases .from President Wilson's speech and the constitution, that traffic was not obstructed and no just reasnr: was assigned for the arrest of the ladies. She told how the ladies, after being arrested and sentenced to thi work house, were made to wear unwashed clothes taken from the bodies of ne : gro women, how corn bread with iworms in it was served, how they 'were made to do hard manual labor and were even treated worse than I regular prisoner; sent there from he streets of the capital. Miss younger said the objection men had jto woman suffrage was that their 'wives might not have supper pre pared for them on election day. She pointed out how little time it takes I to exercise the right of franchise, ,how women would line up the several ! parties because they have different 'opinions on political matters and how man and wife could discuss quietly at home the issues involved in all campaigns. Mrs. Gould, a rich lady who recent ly moved from the east to California ,in order to enjoy the pleasure and privilege of voting, devoted her speech to the horrors of the prison sentence imposed upon the Washing ton picketers, which enlisted the the sympathy of many. The ladies spoke fluently and con vincingly and without a doubt made supporters for their cause, not only among the women but among the men who outnumbered the members of their sex. DEATH OF MRS. HOYLE. New Postal Rates Mrs. John Hoyle of upper Cleve land died Saturday, following child birth. She was the wife of Mr. John I Hoyle, a young farmer of that sec tion, who is the son of Mr. John R.
