MARKETS FOR FUTURES
TONE GENERALLY STRONG
 THROUGHOUT THE SESSION.
Exports Exceed Port Receipts, and Spots are Higher at Nearly All
 Points-Sales Estimated at 1900, 900 Bales.

NEW YORK. Dec ls.-The cotton market opened firm at unchanged prices to an ad- vance of points on continued covering and bull support. Cables were. If anything, @ little better than expected. though we'll down from the top at the hour of the local opening with private advices indicating a very nervous con- ditions of affairs abroad and more reports com ing in of inability Of some Southern spot handlers to i'll contracts to ship cotton abroad. Advices of this description, with very bulsh advfces from Southern spot markets and the aggressive attitude of the bulls. some of whom are freely predicting still higher prices. seemed to cause even greater anxiety than that noted yesterday among the local shorts, while there were also evidences that the pub lie were again entering the market through commission houses At any rate, after a brief interval of hesitation rather than weakness immediately following tho opening, during which prices sagged back a few points from the best. the market was generally strong worked rapidly upward. Rumors were circu- lating that the bull leaders were taking profits on bulges. but these parties were open and ag- gressive buyers on every sign of weakening. Needless to say all the months reached new high 1eve,s for the day with months later than January breaking through the Sc mark. The best prices were nthe late trading. At that time January sold at I2e2. March 1904. May l3.i7 and July 1925. Toward the close the list dropped back 4 or points. but the close was strong net I663i points higher with sales estimated at l.3oo.ooo bales, presenting a sharp contrast with the business reported last Wednesday when the total transactions were plcado at only 100000 bales. A feature of the day was the heavy exports, which greatly exceed the port receipts and spot cotton higher at nearly all points.
 Receipts at the ports today, 50, 663 bales against A. 52 last week and 3s.S26 last year. For the week. 800. 900 bales. against 332 3I6 last week and 2e3.3ls last year. Today's re- against 9,5a6 last year and at Houston I4,- 2I7 bales, against S,702 last year.

all proportion to that welded by Buch-
anan, although in theory each was
alike. So a strong president may ex-
ert Infinitely more influence than a
weak prime minister, or vice versa.
But this is merely another way of stat
ing that in any Office the personal
equation is always of vital conse..
quence.
1t is customary to speak of the franz
ers Of our constitution as having sep.
arated the judicial, the legislative and
the executive functions of the govern
ment. The separation. however, is not
IN all respects sharply defined. The
President has certainly most important
legislative functions, and the upper
branch of the national legislature
shares with the President one of the
most important of executive functions;
that is, the President can either sign
or veto the bills passed by congress,
while on the other hand, the senate
confirms or rejects his nominations.
OF course,the President cannot initiate
Legislation, although he can recon-
mend. But unless two-thirds of con-
gross in both branches are hostile to
him, he can stop any measure from
becoming law. This power is vary
ingly used by different presidents. but
it always exists and must always be
reckoned with by congress.
While congress is in. session, if the
President neither signs nor vetoes the
bill which is passed. the bill becomes
a law without his signature. The eff.
feet is precisely the same as if he had
signed it. Presidents who disapproved
of details in bill, but felt that on a
whole it was advisable it should be-.
come law have at times used this
method to emphasize the fact that they

has made that little country a glory
In history. At no time in his career
has he shown other than a most con-
sistent conformity to all that is best
in the religious sentiments Of this
country. Believing in the principles
and practice of the Christian religion
he has done what every conscientious
believer in the faith could do, allied
himself with the church of his choice.
Broad enough to appreciate what is
commendable in all the churches, he
has shown devotion to his own which
is noticeable. especially as it is not
one Of the most numerously represent
ed at the national capital. His rev.
erent attendance on some house of
worship wherever he may be spending
the Sabbath commends itself to all low
ers of true religion. 1t would seem
/, from all appearances that the domestic
relations of our President must be al
most ideal. He does not hesitate to
declare he has faith in the family. and
the larger the better. He is evidently
| more afraid of Partisan laXity and inn
morality sapping the foundations of
| our national life than he is of any Nal
| thusian bugaboo deteriorating the quail
| ity of our rising generations. I'm
doubtedly the influence of thesWhite
House will be wholesome as it affects
our social inclinations. But what must
give the greatest reinsurance to all
| lovers of virtue and honor is the high
standard of personal integrity that
has always characterized Roosevelt

ROOSEVELT ON
THE PRESIDENCY.
Standard Set for the Chief Executive bv
the Man Who Now Fills That Place.

Perhaps two of the most striking
things about the presidency are the SUI
preme power of the President while
he Is in Office. and the fact that upon
his retirement he becomes at once one
OF the citizens of the United States"
With these words President Roosevelt,
while he was still governor of New
York, characterized the office of chief
executive to which he has risen and in
which capacity he visits Ottumwa to-
day Previous to the national conven-
ton in 1900, which nominated Mr.
Roosevelt vice president. he prepared
an article for the Youths Companion
in which he treated the subject The
Presidency" 1t is noticeable in this
article that it was written by person
who could not have foreseen the place
he was destined to occupy before its
publication. On this day, the occasion
of the Presidents visit to Ottumwa
the thousands that have gathered here
delight to honor the man, who has not
only measured up to the standard set
by himself for an incumbent of the Of
fee he now occupies, but has admins
tered the affairs of the nation in a
manner calling for the admiration of
the citizens of the entire nation.
The President of the United States
occupies position of peculiar import,
ance. In the whole world there is no 9TH
er ruler, certainly no other ruler under
free institutions, whose power COM
pares with his. Of course. despotic
king has even more, but no constitu-
tional monarch has as much In the
republics of France and Switzerland
the President is not very important
officer, at least, compared with the
President of the United States. III
England the sovereign has much less
control in shaping the policy of the ma
ton, the prime minister occupying a
position more nearly analogous to that
of our President. The prime minister,
however, can at any time be thrown
out Of office by an adverse vote, while
the President can only be removed be.
fore his term is out FOR some extraor-
binary crime or misdemeanor against
the nation. OF course, in the case OF
each there is the enormous personal
factor of the incumbent himself to be
considered entirely apart from the
power of the Office itself. The power
welded by Andrew Jackson was out of

more important Offices But he does
not appoint these by himself. His is
only the nominating power. 1t rests
with the senate to confirm or reject
!, the nominations.
The senators are the constitutional
advisers of the President, for it must
be remembered that his cabinet is not
IN the least like the cabinet of which
the prime minister is head in the Eng
fish parliament. Under our govern.
ment the secretaries who form the cab
met are in the strictest sense the
Presidents own ministerial appoint
ees; the men, chosen out of all the ma
tlon, to whom he thinks he can best
| depute the most important and labori-
Gus of his executive duties OF course
they all advise him on matters of gen
eral policy when he so desires it. and
in practice each cabinet officer has a
very free hand in managing his own
| department, and must have it if he is
to do good work. But all this advice
and consultation is at the will of the
President. With the senate. on the
other hand, the advice and consulta-
ton are obligatory under the constitu-
| ton.
| The President and congress are mu-
| tually necessary to one another in mat
tiers OF legislation, and the president
and the senate are mutually necessary
in matters OF appointment. Every now
and then men who understand our con-
stitution but imperfectly raise an out
cry against the President for consult
| ing the senators in matters of appoint
ment, and even talk about the senat-
ors "usurping" his functions. These
men labor under a misrepresentation.
The senate has no right to dictate to
the President who shall be appointed,
but they have an entire right to say
who shall not be appointed. for under
the constitution this has been made
their duty.
In practice, under our party system.
it has come to be recognized that each
senator has a special right to be CON
suited about the appointments in his
own state, if he is OF the Presidents
| political party. Often the opponents
of the senator in his state do not agree
with him in the matter of appoint
ments, and sometimes the President

The visit of President Theo.
dore Roosevelt in the city Tuesday
evening recalls to mind the
previous occasions when the
executives of the nation were seen in
Ottulnwa. Twice it has been the honor
of the people of this city to welcome a
president. and on both occasions did
Ottumwa acknowledge the high honor
and in fitting manner welcome the
statesmen who filled the highest Office
in the gift of the people of the United
States. The first presidential visitor
was the late President Harrison. and
the occasion was Presidents Day at
the Ottumwa coal palace, October 8.
1890. The other occasion is still fresh
in the minds of the people. 1t was the
visit of the late lamented VIM. Mckin-
ley, the martyred president, whose
death from the assassins bullet was
felt with poignant grief by all who
heard him speak here and felt the
President Harrison's Visit
Until it was overshadowed by the
event of today, the occasion of the Wis
it of President Harrison to this city,
October 8. 1890, was the greatest oc--
currence in the history of Ottumwa.
The city was packed with visitors from
all over the state who We're drawn
here by the dual attraction of seeing
the president and the coal palace, with
out doubt the most mammoth enter
prise ever attempted by the citizens of
Ottumwa. The president, accompa-
MED by many distinguished statesmen,
among whom were Secretary of War
B. F. Tracy, Secretary to the President
Halfor, and General Grosvenor of Ohio.
arrived in the morning, and the ma
TONS executive was at once driven to
the home of his sister, Mrs. T. j. Dev-
| in, 436 West Fourth street, where he
stayed during his visit. The other dis
tinguished visitors, among whom were
Governor Horace Boies and many of
| the state officials. were entertained at
| the homes Of Ottumwa's leading citi-
| zenS.
The Grand Street Parade.
The grand street parade which was
the principal feature OF the event was
| magnificent pageant and 10000
| people were in line The
formation was headed by plat
toons of police; many special
officers being engaged for the occa-
sion. The Iowa State band followed
after which came President Harrison
and General Grosvenor followed by
the carriages of other prominent visi-
tors. Five companies of the second
regiment. Iowa National Guard, now
the F'ifty-fourth We're in the parade
while the secret societies and fratern-
al orders were represented.
All the school children of the city
marched to the Adams school yard
carrying banners and flags. and there
they were grouped while the monster
parade passed. This was one of the
strikingly pretty features OF the gor
J geous spectacle arranged as a part OF
the program OF that day. There were
1000 visitors in the city. from Des
| Moines alone, on that day, while near
| ly every city in Iowa sent its quota tc
