Gambling in Cotton Would be Lesscned.

Washington, Dec. 3.
One OF the first bills introduced into
the Fifty ninth congress will be one
on Monday by Representative Webb,
of North Carolina, providing for O.
daily report Of the cotton ginned by
the ginneIics Of the south. The cen
sus bureau now issues Il semi ...nthly
report. Mr.. Webb has corresponded
with D. 4. TompkinH and other well
known manufacturers and he believes
that Il daily report would tend to pre-
vent violent fluctuations and thus de-
atroy the speculative element.
Speaking today OF tho matter Mr..
Webb said: "GrOwGrs and munufac
turers alike are against the present
system. A daily report could be issued
at little IL any increas ed cost over the
present system and certainly it would
prevent the vide fluctuations that
often result in financial ruin to in
tividuals and corporations. / have

favor it. 1t prevents er- 1ulation on
will look with favor upon it because it
Involves moral question. The gov
ernmect cannot afford to be respon-
bib!o fer tho specu]a alton which the
present system of reports unQuestion-
ably causes. Only Il few weeks ago
cotton tiuctuated to the extent of S5 q
bale during one day. This would be
impossible If daily reports we're issued
and the temptation to speculate would
not be 30 great.-WashiDg Cor. Col.

sion There may be a question whether every

Tobacco Trust to Evade Law.

With the time fast slipping past
until the Parks Anti-cigarette law
will be In effect, it is rumored that
the large wholesalers of cigarettes will
attempt TO make the application of
the law Ineffective by resort to the
mails. AT the postoffices through the
state it is said that already numbers
of parcels are being delivered, the con.
tents which may be guessed because
the parcels themselves bear the label
Of the United Cigar Stores company.
The company not only has stores all
over the country but maintains mail
order department at the headquarters
10 the Flatiron building, New York,
which is said to supply millions Of
smokers by express or mail. Another
method by which the American To-
bacco Trust bopes to evade the law
will be by the substitution of tobacco
wrappers for the rice papers now used.
This is said would place the coffin
nails under the same class of cigars.

TAXPAYERS ENTER A PROTEST


Goshen, Ind April 9-The county
council Is being condemned on all
sides by taxpayers, who speak of the
court house improvements" as an
outrage. Last September the coun-
Gil made an appropriation Of $50, 900
to place the old court house 10 better
condition. At this time there was
mild protest and strenuous objection
from Elkhart and the northwest part
OF the county. Now it developes
that Patton & Miller, the architects,
claim that their contract calls for
minor work on the building only. and
it developes that another appropriar
tion will be necessary and that the
building, when Completed, will cost
something like $500 The tower
is being removed from the old build
ing, the clock having been taken out
last week despite the entreaties OF
hundreds of citizens to have 1T re-
main
