A prominent New York financier, J. H. Beals, backs The Constitution editorial asserting the South’s prosperity based on cotton. The piece notes cotton’s cash value around 720 million dollars, factoring in lint and seed at 45 a bale, with the crop’s convertibility and diverse future prospects highlighted.
The article describes how 12 and 13 cent cotton forecasts were cut nearly in half, forcing the South to adjust business and debts. It notes a gradual return to normal as cotton exports resume and gold flows in, with district managers reporting fewer failures than other regions despite wartime stampedes. The overall tone is of cautious optimism as the South stabilizes.
The Republican National Committee in Washington analyzes the fall elections noting that if national issues had decided the contest Republicans might have won. It argues Democratic gains benefited from the remnants of the Bull Moose vote, which the piece suggests will be absorbed by the Republicans by 1916. It concludes there is virtually no third party, and the Democratic fate hinges on its performance in Congress and the administration’s policies.
The Virginia legislature convenes an extraordinary session to pursue tax reform inspired by Georgia style equalization. Governors Stuart and Locke Craig advocate broader powers and property listing to widen tax bases, while Georgia credits its law for more equal state spending and uncovering previously untaxed property, boosting taxable values.
The piece argues the tax law achieved near universal satisfaction, resisted by demagogues, and eventually embraced by former opponents. It notes repeal failed and Georgia leads in genuine tax equalization, presenting a model for sister states as Georgia moves past earlier troubles.
A prominent American corporate head writes that 1915 will be a prosperous year for advertising and publicity. He argues cutting ad budgets harms competitiveness, notes cotton demand rising in the South, and says firms from Atlanta to New York should emphasize printer's ink to seize postwar opportunities.
The editorial urges compiling a neutral, comprehensive national defense book to reconcile conflicting views on naval and military needs after observing reports from Washington. It argues for clearer information, expert synthesis, and timely analysis before decisions on armament, submarine or dreadnought plans, and military structure, with the taxpayer as ultimate arbiter.
My Isma Dooly summarizes Fairfax Harrison's Alabama Girls' Technical Institute address on the independent woman. He argues for practical education, including domestic science, as essential for all women to be breadwinners, adapt to changing roles, and support families, stressing trained housekeeping and civic responsibility.
A poetic meditation on despair and hope as ghosts fade, the Vision of Light rises from darkness. The piece contrasts grief with awakening, ending with bells and stars singing of a world made new and morning light.
