"Paternalism," says the Dallas Times-Herald, “is never satisfied.
Starting with one project, it devours that and, its appetite unappeased,
swallows project after project, so long as there lives a theorist ready with
a new scheme or there remains in the people’s treasury enough of the
people’s money to pay for the scheming.”
John Locke observed that children love both liberty and dominion.
The same thing is true of men. They will not abide paternalism when
they begin to. feel its weight, but may often run toward it fn thefr eager-
ness to direct others: As Emerson puts it:

none anticipated the rise that was

Savannah is enjoying some of the most
prosperous days in a long, and, on the
whole, remarkably prosperous history.
Her harbor is filled with shipping—and
she now has slips for no less than
seventy-five vessels. Her streets are
crowded with motor cars and with
dressed-up, prosperous-looking people.
Her merchants are doing a record bus-
iness. Everybody seems to be chock
full of money, municipal pride, and
confidence in the future.
This condition in Savannah is typical
of the wonderful recovery which the
whole cotton-product ng South has
made since the dire days of 1914, when
cotton was down to six cents a pound.

operate the plant. The plant when
completed according to Mr. Franke’s
estimate will produce over one million
tons of the road material per year at
an initial construction cost of approxi-
mately $250,000.
Mr. Franke stated to the council that
he was eager to obtain the power from
the city to avoid the expense of con-
structing a power plant on the prop-
erty which would cost approxtmately
$125-000 and due to the scarcity of
power machinery at the present time

pieces of this machine, and others are beginning to move us about; to ham-

Rector Thursday morning received in-
structions from the city council to
draw up documentary evidence in th©
form of a resolution endorsing the ef-
forts of A. Franke of Pilot Knob to de-
velop a million dollar trap rock quarry
at that site, and assuring him that if
such a plant were installed that the
city would exert every effort to assist
him as far as it could legally.
This action was taken when Secre-
tary Long of the Chamber of Com-
merce and Mr. Franke appeared before
the city council in an effort to obtain
from the city water and light depart-
ment a tentative contract for 2000 kilo-
watt hours of electric power per day
at two cents per kilowatt. This power
it is planned to use in the rock crush-
ing plant to be constructed at Pilot
Knob. In order to furnish and trans-
mit this power to Pilot Knob it was
found that a transmission line of eight
miles in length would have to be con-
structed. This the city has been re-
quested to consider by Mr. Franke, who
stated that he wanted the city to do
this only after he could prove that the
plant were actually to be constructed.
Early construction of a branch rail-
road and the installation of crushing
and quarrying machinery isassured he
informed the council.
Commissioner Ward of the water and
light department is in doubt as to
whether the city can legally construct
the transmission line beyond the cor-
poration limits and in order to clear
up the point City Attorney Rector has
been instructed to investigate the law
and make a report to the council. If
it can construct the line the city will
do so, members of the council said, and
the power will be furnished to the trap
rock plant at a low scale per kilowatt
hour. Development of the property
will bring to the city of Austin not
only a profit from the sale of electric
power, it was pointed out, but a pay-
roll of approximately $1,000,000 per
up to Taylor for the Sunday sesstons.

Savannah now has warehouse facilities
for 600,000 bales of cotton and there
are said to be about 210,000 bales in
these warehouses now. On the other
hand, it is said that there are only
'about 20,000 bales of cotton in New
York which could be delivered on con-
tract.
Meantime the South has been enjoy-
ing ideal cotton weather. Last fall was
a long, dry. hot on©, with no frost
until Deember, and that la the kind
of weather which makes the fiber grow

free to seek a mate; but not he. And the reason for this prohibition is
so palpable that none can fail to understand it.
Men who marry are likely to seek higher pay. They will need more
money to live on than bachelors. Hence agitation for increased salaries is
forestalled by preventing the marriage of low-salaried men.
But, if the men immediately affected do not complain why should
anyone else? After all, a man who gives up the lady of his heart and the
home of his dreams to obey a baak “rule” doesnt deserve the lady or the
home.
Wilson called upon all good citizens to
“buy a bale of cotton” and relieve dis-
tress in the South. A good many did
it and sold the bale again, just as soon
as they could. One man her© in Sa-
vannah, who bought two bales at that
time for about fifty dollars a bale,
forgot about them, and did not sell
them until a few days ago. He re-
ceived about two hundred dollars a
bale for his cotton. And so far as
W. H. Teasdale, secretary of the Cot-
ton Exchange here, is aware, he is the
only man who bought cotton when it
was down, and held for the present
rise. After all. nearly all really great
speculative chances are missed. Any
man who had had sense enough to put
a few thousand dollars in cotton in
1914, and to hold it until this year
could have more than trippled his
money. A few may have done it, but
it was not at all generally done.
Savannah’s great prosperity is ex-
plained by the simple fact that, while
the cost of living has gone up eighty
to a hundred per cent, the cost of cot-
ton has gone up about three hundred
per cent in the same length of time
Hence every one having to do with cot-
ton is far ahead of the game. Dealers
have made big money, and so have
growers. The countrymen are all rid-
ing around in care. The ship-building
here has also been a considerable fac-
tor in the improvement of conditions.
Things here were perhaps at their
worst in November,. 1914, when, ac-
cording to Mr. Teasdale, ordinary mid-
dling cotton sold for about six cents
and sea island cotton for about nine-
teen cents a pound, with a market hard
to find. By the first of the following
year trade was brisk, and | February,
1915, Savannah shipped more cotton
than in any other month in her history,
nearly a third of a million bales of
upland cotton and lintels leaving the
part, and over a thousand bales of sea
island cotton. This cotton was rushed
to Europe to get in ahead of the
blockades which were then becoming
tighter and tighter. Sweden, Holland,
England, France and Spain got most
of it. A good part of that which went
to Sweden and to Holland no doubt
found its way ultimately to Germany.
At this time some of the last direct
shipments to Germany were made from
this port, and it is said that they were
