cred surprising that the genuine saw age is impiacabIs.
 Yet for all this 1t should by this time. be plainly apparent to the most rude and unouitivsted member of the race that the white man will rule this continent. From the earliest dawn of recorded history civilized man has eventually dispossessed and triumphed over the savage. It has been SO in all ages of the world. and will continue so to the end. Knowledge, education, civilization, will always triumph over savagery. That triumph may soms- times be reached through cruelty. inc justice and disregard for the humani- ties, but 1t Is sure to come in the end. Call it progress. civilization, fate or anything we choose. 1t comes as surely as the years pass.
 As The Recorder observes. many of the Indians have accepted the inevita- ble and are making the most of it.. At Carlisle, Pa. there is a large fn- dian school which has pupils. male and female. from many of the western as well as Eastern tribes. They are being educated in all the useful as we'll as ornamental arts and sciences. and are trained for the various avoca- tions and professions of life so as to become useful men and women and good citizens. Then they so back and in most cases become good examples for their savage brethren to initiate and in this way much good is accom- plished. /
 In Indian Territory, among what is known as the Five Civilized Tribes. there are schools and colleges of high rank which are well attended. and In which the pupils may obtain an edu. cation as thorough as the whites can in other sections of the Union. Per haps as The Recorder says. this is more noticeable in the case of the Chsrokees than in any other tribe. but in all parts of the Territory the In- dians are proving that they can adapt themselves to all the needs and ad- vantages of civilization. and fit them. selves to eventually become good and worthy citizens of the American Un- ion. @
 And yet. in the face of ali this; in spite of all that has been done and Is being done, we find almost entire tribes that yet stand aloof, nursing their wrath, breeding over their grievances and keeping alive the bitter enmity which has already cost them so much. They cannot still plead ignorance of what has been done and of what is going on. They have had both time and opportunity to inform themselves of the results of standing out for any real or tmasinary rights. They have seen entire nations of their race wiped off the face of the earth and not one left to keep alive the traditions of their tribe. They have seen other nations continually being driven back, sur rounded and crowded until they can retreat no further. It is strange that they cannot see that either civilization and amalgamation or total extermina- ton awaits them, and that the result Is as certain as the going down of the sun. It will be well for all of them if they will accept the inevitable be- fore they are forced to the last and saddest fesult-totai extinction.

AN uNRnoKrN RECORD .
A Father and Son Voted Every Demo-
 cratic Ticket.

Uniontown (Pa.) Special.
 An unbroken record of father and son having voted for every Democratic candidate for President from the be- ginning of the government up to the present time is perhaps held by no other living man than Joseph Hayden: aged s2 years of s, this piaee ths rS.,o wno VII, candidate for the eighteenth time in g. Presidential election and making a crowning record of father and son vot: ing in thirty different qpadrennial history of the United States govern ment. from George Washington to AL ton B. Parker.
 Hayden. was Revolutionary soldier. and from the beginning of political Democrat and voted that party's ticket his death, July 24, 1886. the same year that his son. Joseph was first old enough to vote in Presidential cleo tion and thus carry forth uninterrupt- ed the record of Democratic voting.
 T have always found reasons enough for supporting the Democratic ticket" says Joseph Hayden, and l shall do so again this year. have never be- to vote for a tarift-that is good Dem ocratic doctrine. Throughout eigh- teen Presidential campaigns have never regretted my support of tha OSnOCIdLlC Dc8ESHS.
 My father had twelve sons who lived to be old enough to vote, and we received Democratic teaching at home in the time of Andrew Jackson, and my brothers and myself started as Q. full dozen of Democratic voters, though two of my brothers afterwards joined opposition parties. l was a great ad- mirer of 'Old Hickory" and it was al- ways a regret of mine that was not old enough to vote when he was run ming for President.
 But I started as a voter in 1886 by supporting Martin Van Buren, and have never since missed an election and have voted for Polk, Cass, Pierce. Buchanan, Breckinridge, Mcclellan, Seymour, Greeley, Tilden, Hancock. Cleveland and Bryan, and this year 1t will be my pride to vote for Judge Parker, and I shall continue to vote the Democratic ticket as long as ] live"

STEEL REACHES
 NEW HIGH LEVEL Stock Market Shows Both Strength and Activity VOLUME WAS MAIN TANNED Little Change Has Taken Place Dur ing the Week in Character of
 Conditions That Would
 Exert Influence.
VOLUME WAS MAINTAINED

New York September 2.-Considering the approach of the triple holiday and increased excitement of cotton, today's s stock market reflected unlocked for ac- tivity and strength. The valume of trad
 ing was not much less than that of the previous day and the speculative ele- ment hesitated, to take the short side.
 There was further extentive covering in number of issues. chiefly in United States Steel preferred. which, together with the common stock, advanced to new high levels for the present movement. In fact the heavy buying of Steel pre- ferred WAS almost the most conspicuous feature of the day. Improved prices for the international list from London exert ed favorable influence, although the tone of the early market was irregular on further declines in Metropolitan se- curities and Metropolitan Street Railway issues. To counteract this, however, there were fractional gains in St. Paul, Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, Southern Pacific, N. 6 w., c. & o. and other active stocks. There was pool buying of Rock Island, c. & o. and Smelling.
 Union Pacific was bought in the belief that the return of prominent interest in that property would soon be followed by another upward movement. Pennsylva- mia and the Wabash issues were at inn proved prices in spite of adverse traf- fic returns, that of Pennsylvania for the seven months ending July 31 being es- pecially unfavorable. There were some reactions in the afternoon. but these were offset by gains in such standard issues as Louisville and Nashville, New York Central and Chicago and Northwestern common, and preferred.
 The break in cotton, and the tremen- dous selling movement in that staple were without marked effect on prices. In the late trading movement Missouri Pacific and Mexican Central were bought in at round lots at higher prices.
 The closing was active and strong. A conservative estimate of the v-eeks money movement indicates loss of not less than s2,250,000 to the banks This Is ex- elusive of another $500O00 shipment to South America and transfers today by the sub-treasury of $500 to Chicago Gin cinnau and New Orleans
 The bond market reflected the strength of stocks. Total sales, par value, $757O,- 900. L.
 In most essentials there has been little change during the week in the character of conditions calculated to exert an in- fiuence on the market Diqfferences of opinion as to the logical course of prices existed, but strength was nevertheless the principal characteristic. The professional spectators were responsible for the greater part of the transactions. and these men have. continued to work on the side of higher prices. The public's attitude toward the market continues passive, al- though in some quarters a somewhat bet ter commission business was reported.

MUCH EXCITEMENT
 DURING MORNING Cotton Market in General Way
 Shows Weakness BULL LEADER IN EVIDENCE Reported Acreage Condition of s4.1 Was Followed By Active Lquida.
 tlon-slight Rally at
 the Close.
BULL LEADER IN EVIDENCE

New York, September 2-The cotton market opened weak at a decline of 1sO 20 points, in response to easier cables and the liquidation of longs, who were apprehensive of a better bureau report than generally expected. During the morning there was much excitement and activity, accompanied by extreme irreg- ularity, but in a general way the mar ket showed weakness, partly due, no doubt to the feeling that bulish bu- reau report had been discounted, while the statement issued by the bull leader after the close of the market on the pre- vious night to the effect that he feared a decline, irrespective of the showing of today's report, was the cause of consid- erable liquidation.
 At the low point Of the morning sc,-iioes showed loss of 3ll to 4 points. As the hour for the monthly report approached there was a partial rally on covering by shorts, who preferred taking profits on the break to awaiting the result of the bureau report, and Just before the state ment was issued September stood at 1o.s1, October at 10.46. Dece.nber at 1o.51, Jan uary and March at 10.6s.
 The reported average condition of S41 per cent was followed by active llquida- ton. In less than five minutes after the report wsa read prices were down about 20 points from the figures prevail ing a minute before it was issued. Of course there was heavy covering on this additional decline, which carried prices nearly a cent a pound from the high point of last Wednesday, but there was also aggressivep ressure from leading bear interests, and during the afternoon the market continued to work lower in an irregular way till September was sell ing around 10.37, October, 1923; December 1925; January, 1030, and March, 10.40 or net decline of 48 to 54 points. There was a slight rally at the close on room shorts taking profits. and the market was finlaly steady at net decline of 37 to 45 points. Sales were estimated al S00,000 bales.
 The market will remain closed over Labor day, and the action of Liverpool during the interval is awaited with curl osity.
 Receipts at the ports today were 14,1sS bales, against .,426 last week and 2,092 last year. For the week, 5000 bales against S2,539 last week and 5513 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans were 235 bales, against 63 last year, and at Houston, S545, against 234 last year.

Leishman & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Cotton opend this morning responding to the easier tone of the Liverpool mar ket and selling by holders who bought on the rally yesterday.
 The statement of MT. Price that he had liquidated his long line and looked for lower prices was probably done to af- feet sentiment, but failed to cause any large amount of selling. There was some covering by shorts, but this de- mand was supplied by the longs, who were disposed to even up contracts and await the publication of the monthly government report, due today. Trading was restricted and the fluctuations only represented the change of positoin by room traders. There was some selling by Philadelphia houses and Wall street of December and January, but this was responsible for the closing out of the long line bought yesterday Heavy bear selling and liquidation by longs around noon carried prices down to the lowest point in the week. The market sold off sharply when the report was read but 1t was evident that the decline dur ing the morning had discounted in a great measure an unfavorable showing.
 We consider cotton splendid purchase at present figures and look for a good rally next week.
 Stocks-The stock market continues strong and continues to advance. Read ing and St. Paul found new high prices today, and we look for continuation of this bull movement

Prices of securities have arisen, and the realizing induced thereby has not been on a scale sufficiently large to check the ad- vancing tendency The professionals therefore argue that those who hold the Bulk of stocks are unwilling to part with them at prevailing quotations
 The condition of the iron and steel trade Is yet hardly so much improved as to have any effect on outside sentiment The operators arrayed on the side of the upward movement have elected to ignore the increased labor troubles. The usual presidential year uncertainties have been less pronounced than in the past, and there is no indication at present to justify belief that they will become more se- rious with the progress of the political campaign.
