Eliminating Cotton Reports
Men- hers of the house agricultural committee con
sidering the Jones bill, which would eliminate all hut
four of the monthly cotton estimates, yesterday ex
pressed themselves as extremely doubtful of the
value of the semi-monthly cotton estimates issued by
the Department of Agriculture, and which some cot
ton gro»«rs, by a process of reasoning as yet unde
termined, assert were responsible for the sharp drop
. in the price of cotton at the opening of the picking
^ season.
Sever i Texas congressman have expressed them
^ selves In favor of curtailing the reports, declaring
$ <br.t tb s* ntiment among the growers was that the
report enhanced specu’ation and induced an unstable
a market, and that In many parts of the cotton belt the
p 'er*itno\'. was practically unanimous in favor of
» eliminating the reports.
Curt-.’.in: tie report? to once a month would
work Do ertous hardship, hut to eliminate them could

ruk‘it and buy lar,e amounts of the staple until
tl v wer«i reascnaM;. cer*ain as to the supply that
would be available ami which would determine the

tion. Tii" ultimate* are based upon conditions as re

Feted For His Vote
The pf>| ;i’ar min in the United States sen
ate »cfS , Senator Henrtck Shipstead, Minnesota
farmer-> il
His , pelaritv does npt lie in the fart that he ha*
an exit - ordinary personality or that he is a good
after-dinner taller. In fact. Senator Shipstead never
prided liimself upon his attainments in these bnes.
He is inclined to he modest, unassuming, a deep think
er—dho '-err opposite of the “social lions” whose pres
ence is .s.mllv sough* at all social functions in of
ficial W ,k»h!ngton.
Sent- r -hipstead’s popularity lies in the fact that
be is i:riteer a republican nor a democrat. ?.’» party
ofgirii' . :t has strings on him. He is a tree laner
In the |><-lii'cal arena, and in the next congress, when
the republican* wtll have 4S votes and the democrats
47, Sh: »t- n vote r ill be the deciding factor in
nMy a ••.r:;«an hntth- The mere fact that he is an
independoi” his given him a power such as no sen
ator in recent years has possessed.
And M . hington is fully aware of the fact that
Senator Shij.stand possesses this power. Since the
November elections cut a wide swathe in the republi
can ao *'e majority the Minnesota farmer-laborite
has heer. tie recipient of numerous social attentions,
ninny oi which have doubtless proved rather em
1 MTHia.r.u to h mm if his unassuming disnosition.
Vor l:a .!. th>* attention been devoted to the senator.
His wife ha> al-.o hecome the recipient of invitations
| to Weal iron's most exclusive affairs, and in fact
i the SIuum -.ds have suddenly become “the rage”
among the dispensers of Washington’s hospitalities.
Pre*iJc:'.t Coolidge. who prior to the November elec
tions had apparently never realized that Senator Ship
stead c\;.-,ted, has honored him with dinner invita
tions, as her#, also Secretary Mellon, and democratic
leader*, and if the Minnesota senator was so inclined
hi* life .lurir.g the ne.xt few months could be “one
dizzy »h rl” of social functions.
Incidentally those blue-eyed voters of Scandinavian
! parantawho form no small part of the Minnesota
1 electorate, are smiling. They have perfect Confidence
in theii -enator to withstand the wiles of the national
eapItolV .dltical entertainers, and they are fully
I cognisant • the fact that Shipstead has the power to
secure an.i t anything he desires for the North Star
! -tate. He nay pull a few chestnuts out of the fire
, for the p li icl leaders of both parties, but while
he i* d« ing it the state of M.nnesota will be getting its

THE PETROLEUM SUPPLY.
(Beaumont Janurnal.)
Papers read before the recent Tulsa convention «f
the American Pozroleum Institute revive interest in
tfce questions how long will the country’s petroleum
supply he sufficient for the country’s needs and,
what substitute may be found, or devised, that will
serve satisfactorily in case, or when,* this oil supply
is known to be insufficient.
All these papers and addresses, as well as the
most authoritative ones printed in various newspapers
and magazines, ngree that no substitute has yet been
I found or invented for etroleum- Derrick and drill
I will continue to be the world's reliance for its oil sup
ply until the chemical laboratory does better work
than has yet been done by it- Because of increasing
vorId-3rmand for oil and because also the oil supply
is not correspondingly increasing, the problem posed
for oil-producers and oil-consumers alike is n baffling
cr.e.
Yet the outlook is not hopeless. Indeed, In the
judgment of skilled geologists, it is not, for the pres
ent at least, even discouraging. In the continental
United States, not a few of these geologists state the
margin of petroleum production has been hazily more
than scratched. One of these authorities predicts
that, along the Gulf coast, oil fields yet undreamed
of will be uncovered, particularly in the territory ex
tending from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Brownsville.
Texas. Here, says Dr. Gray,.where already rich fields
have been proved and the most productive in the
world—Spindle Top—is now at its peak, is the world's
best hope /or the oil needed to keep the world going.
It is hoped that this eminent geologist knows what
he is talking about. This newspaper is inclined to
place credence in what he says. When twenty-five
years ago, a similar geological authority hinted that
oil might be under Spipdle Top. he was looked at
askanse while friends of his seriously debated with
one another whether or not he should be placed un
der the observation of an alienist.
Drilling for oil used to be a less scientific thing
than the one it has now come to be. Public apprecia
tion of the crude-production end of the oil business
has been revolutionized. In the early stages of the
game, the word •’wild-catting.” was tacked on deris
ively to the work of drilling wells in unproved oil
territory. This once aspersive word jwrsists in the
nomenclature of the oil industry, but i s aspersive
ri‘-« is not to biting as once it was. it is the ’’wild
cat’s” reported canri«’iou«ne s that now invests with
s;-_-nificarre the “wild catter” in the oil-producing bus
ire«s.
But for this maligned and ridiculed *‘w ild-catter"
I :n the oil industry, the world would not have learned
of Spindle Top, of Glenn Pool, of Humble, of El Do
rado. of Mexin or of Columbia. Beneath the surface
of the yet untouched Gulf territory indicated by l*r.
Gray may lie must Glenn Pools and inglorious Spindle
Tops.
All the bi|f companies have thes" inglorious >p!n«ne
Tops, these mute Glenn Pools, on their “agenda of op
erations." The country's best thought is going into
this vast field of speculation—“speculation” in the
best sense of the word, wherein reason bas**d on fact
is lighted by imagination soaring on wings of faith and
hope.
It is this form of “speculation" that makes the
4 wild-catter" in the oil industry. In this sense, he is
the Columbus, the Magellan, the da Gama, the C«»rtez
and Pizarro of the oil game Whether he brings in n
duster or a gusher, this “wild-catter" is to be de
spised only by men who have not his vision and his
' courage alike. I'ntil the chemical laboratory robs him
of his occupation, the “wild-catter" will be, and
should be, doing business. With a properly harnessed
imagination and wisely directed energy, he deserves to
be encouraged rather than hampered; /or without this
I once derided “w;ld-catter," where would the oil in
dustry be today?
By MRS. NELLIE TAYLOE ROSS
Governor of Wyoming. •
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross born at St. Joseph,
Y.o., the daughter of a Tennessee gentleman and a
Virginia beautv. She is the fiist woman governor of
Wyoming, which incidentally was the f;rst state to
grant suffrage to women, in 18«t9. Elect’d in 1921. Mrs.
Ross is the widow of a former state executive. Gov
ernor WMliatn It Ross. Her three sons are the only
children in the country whose parents have both
sriv*»d as governor of an American state. In her re
cent contest for re-election Governor Ross was defeat
ed by F. E. Emerson, the Republican candidate.
Party loyalty must not involve blind adherence to
politics which violate the dictates of the individual
conscience. Women should select the party to which
they wish to belong because this party satisfies their
political faith, and must then work eternally to see
to it that that party justifies their fa’th. It is not
right for women to remain outside the party and crit
icize. ,
If the women permit themselves to be used by
eifher party to advance the cause of corrupt candi
dates they cannot escape their full share of responsi
bility. The recent success at the polls of candidates
for public office regardless of self-confessed corrupt
practices suggests the womoiV voters in some states
failed to repudiate those methods and-rebuke them by
the ballot.
Principle must be the basis of our allegiance if any
real benefit is to be derived from the entrance of
women into political life. -
The truth is that women, like men. are oft^n so
keen for mere partisan or factional triumph that
principle is obscured by the desire for party advantage.
But when they have secured that triumph what have
they won if its only result is to place in office a can
didate of unworthy standards? A corrupt public of
ficial serves neither his party nor his country.
By active association with the parties, women
ought to make it clear that no political organization,
! however attached they may he to its traditions, that
1 employs corrupt or unworthy candidates can rely upon
■ their support.

The teacher was explaining She meaning of the
word “unit.” Picking up various objects, she asked
what they were and each time received the answer,
“A unit.”
Finally, she took from her desk an -orange. “And
I what is this?" she asked. “A unit." was the answer.
Taking her knife, the teacher peeled the orange, and
holding the peeling in her hand, she inquired:, “What
is this?” x /
The class looked confused, but thoughtful. After
a time, a hand went up. “What is. it, James?”
“That is the skin of a unit.” asserted James.

And so anxious were the twins to
show how generous each could b?
that they never noticed Peter, but |
looked at once for the ear of corn.
"Why, where is it?" gasped Snuf

"What can have happened to it?’
growled Sniffles.
Peter and Braveheart were quite
