papers and printed matter that looked pretty fair
but it developed after careful inquiry—and the
woman finally admitted the facts—that in some
six weeks of soliciting she had neither found a
home for an orphan nor an orphan .for a home.
She. had expended in her “legitimate travelling
and living expenses’’ all the sums she had col-
lected.
The State maintains an orphan asylum, prob-
ably inadequate for the demands made upon it.
Buckner’s Orphans Home is a splendid institu-
tion and most of the church denominations main-
tain orphans' homes where splendid results are
secured. Non of these institutions make per-
sonal house to house solicitations for funds nor
do.they authorize others to do so.
We have no doubt there are worthy homes not
in the classification above named, but scattered
among them are so many wild-cat propositions
that it behooves every one who donates to these
“personal solicitation" class of homes to ascertain,
first, that the institution itself is worthy, and
secend, that the person soliciting the donation has
the right credentials and is a properly authorized
representative of the institution.
And .this applies not only to homes, but to
other causes for which charitable donations are
asked.
We have no right to feel that we have aided a
cause unless we lake the trouble to secure reason-
able assurance that the money goes where we
intend it to go.

Great Clearance Sale!
A recent issue of the Shreveport Journal
makes mention of the arrest and the subsequent
confession of a woman who has for three or four
years been posing as the secretary of the Chil-
dren’s Welfare League of West Shreveport, and
who has been collecting thousands of dollars from
the citizens of Shreveport for charitable purposes.
The organization existed only in the imagina-
tion of its alleged secretary and the funds col-
lected were all spent for her personal and individ-
ual benefit.
If this kind of a graft can get by month after
month continually for a period of three or four
years in a single town, it is not difficult to im-
agine how easy it is for those who pass from
town to town, stopping only a day or two in each,
to escape detection. There are many such, they
always solicit for a cause that commands the in-
stant sympathy of every warm hearted person
and they trade on and take advantage of that
fact. Orphans’ homes are favorites. Homes for
' delinquent girls and young women come second in
popularity. In cities, such as Dallas, that keep a
close tab on the charity solicitors, there are cer-
tain of these so called homes whose agents are
not allowed to solicit funds.
The News remembers a case some years ago
where inquiry revealed the fact that there were
seven women travelling over the country, each at
considerable expense, soliciting funds for an in-
stitution which cared for only four orphans.
Another case that has come to our notice is
that of a woman travelling over the country in
an automobile with her son, nearly grown, solicit-
ing funds for an orphans’ agency that she her-
self organized and that pretended to find homes
for orphans and' orphans for homes. She had

We take no satisfaction in the troubles of our.
neighbors. But we do take pleasure and satisfac-
tion in the excellent conditions that prevail in our
local market.
Tht following from the Tyler Tribune should
make us more than ever appreciate the high
prices paid for our local cotton and the favorable
conditions under which it is marketed—though
we have to take issue with the Tribune’s state-
ment that Tyler has “the most capable man
among the fifty government classers now'sta-
tioned in Texas.” If Marshall didn’t have (Jhas.
H. Welch we might let the statement pass. .

years ago that the cotton producers were 1< ising

Below we print a communication from Mr.
Harry A. Brown rgarding contributions to the
White Way.
Any thing Mr. Brown may say on this sub-
ject will be of special interest for the reason that
Mr. Brown, more than any man in Marshall is
responsible for the White Way. Mr. Brown's let-
ter follows:
T9 the Marshall Morning News:
"In your editorial on the White Way
yesterday morhing you stated that the
business men and property owners of Mar-
shall had done their part in financing the
project. I w ish to state that I believe most
of the business men have been very liberal
but I do know that several of the property
owners along the White Way, have, in my
opinion, failed to do their duty toward
this great civic improvement. I think that
an examination of the subscription list at
the Chamber of Commerce will prove this
statement to be true.
“I have always found that a great many
of the property owners are the hardest
class we have from whom to get assistance
for public improvements, and they are al-
ways the ones who derive the most bene-
fit from such improvements.
“I believe that you will find the rank
and file always ready and willing to do
anything that will make our city a better
place to live in and they will do their part
toward subscribing toward the balance due
on the White Way. I believe we will all be
proud cf this great improvement and we
should all have a part in clearing the bal-
ance which is due.
“Respectfully,
“HARRY A. BROWN.”
Mr. Brown talked and advocated a White Way 1
for years before any concerted movement was
undertaken—and the greatest part of the very
necessary propaganda work, the work of prepara- j
tion, of establishing in the minds of the people ।
the conviction that the White Way was needed, i
"was done by Mr. Brown. I
Here’s looking at you, Mr. Brown! And '
here’s looking also at those others who have la- '
bored ham for the enterprise and who have
carried the work along to completion. There are
many who have rendered splendid service and
who have good cause to be proud of the result.
Marshall is indebted to them all.

millions of dol'ars annually by their cotton not
being property or fairly classed before being sold.
Growing out of this information the national bu-
reau of markets was empowered to employ tom-
petent cotton classers and to place them wherever
these conditions appeared to be the worst.»One
of the first cotton classers sent to Texas was sta-
tioned at Tyler. He was a trained cotton man
with recommer dations showing him to be a very
high class man. Every year since then a similar
man has been stationed in Tyler to serve cotton
growers. At the present time the most capable
man among the fifty government cotton classers
now stationed in Texas is stationed at Tyler to
SERVE THE-CATTON GROWERS. In Marshall
and other places where these trained men are
stationed the cotton buyers and cotton sellers
accept their classing. But in Tyler our buyer re-
fuses to accept his verdict. There must be a
reason! •
"In Tyler tne cotton buyer makes a difference
of 500 points between middling and strict low
middling. The average difference made elsewhere
is 233 points, Galveston making 225, Hoyston
making 250. Dallas 300. For low middling* the
average difference at various points is 4751, At
Tyler the difference 1000! It will be observed
these differences are so great the produce* can
lose $25 per bale without knowing the difference
in his standards.” > - •
