SULLY TO THE FRONT
ERSTWHlLE COTTON KING
ONCE MORE LEADER OF
BULL CLIQUE.
KING

New York, Jan. 1.-THE engross-
ing topic of discussion in the cotton
market yesterday was the admission
by Daniel J. Sully, erstwhile cot
ton king" that he had again taken
up the reins' of leadership On the
heels of Wednesdays sharp rise
there was another bulge yesterday of
10 to 90 points, with the March op-
ton selling at 11.45 cents, the high
est price since early in December.
The magic of the name of the old
bull leader, who conducted one OF
the most spectacular campaigns in
cotton four years ago, advancing
the price from 9 cents to 1884 cents
the highest price since the civil
war, has been sufficient to put prices
up SO points in the past few days,
or say $3.50 a bale. Trading yester-
day was excited. In the first hour

between 150, 900 and 200, 600 bales,
it was estimated, had changed hands
This is equal to full days business
in normal times. 1t appears now that
the first bull campaign of any con-
sequence in months is now in full
swing with Sully at the helm.
Coincident with his return to the
market a story was circulated in the
pit yesterday that elaborate plans
has been made to educate sentiment
in favor of higher prices, and that
the first gun will be fired Monday
next in the shape of a huge 'adver-
tisement in the press of the county
1t was recalled that Sully prior to
the collapse of his boom in March,
1904, tried a similar scheme and
sent out circulars to the spinners
and public broadcast concerning the
campaign of educational publicity.

ried to the Jail through the crowds

resident to go in and out of the city
at will, attend all important functions
in the city, and read the daily news,
paper with as much regularity as his
city brother.
The interurban makes it possible for
the country farmer to dispose of his
farm products at a much better price
than he would be able to obtain from
his country neighbors.
Aside from the personal benefits, the
interurban brings to the country resi-
dent, it proves potent factor in the
development of the country through
which it passes, and opens up a fine
business field for the city merchant.

Columbia has sighed that the old
courthouse must go; she has mOurned
that the old Duncan house must make
way for a modern structure; she drops
a tear on the ashes of the historic
Rollins place, but she neglects the one
feature of the old Columbia that every
stranger noticed first of all. Those old
gray stones whose worn and followed
surfaces bear witness to the innumer-
able shoes which have been helped dry
shod across the bottomless mud of the
unpaved streets, but few of these stones
remain, and they are doomed; stern.
progress demands it. Won't
someone shed single tear or even
heave sigh for the passing of the
stones, last relic of "Ye olden

Time was when the farmer living
only a few miles from the city was
just as isolated as the farmer who
lived hundreds of miles from city.
But times have changed. The advent
of the interurban electric lines has put
the country into closer touch with the
city and has made it possible for the
country resident to be just as little
isolated as his city brother. The inter-

THE COUNTRY LAWYER.

In an address, delivered before tn
State Bar Association ut Warrensbur:
Sept. IL, on The Country Lawyer,
Hon. Lon V. Hooker, of st. Louis, dis
cussed the varied functions of a coun
try lawyer and the knotty problems h
must solve. The points in the addres
may be summarized as follows:
l. In the main, the functions of tn
country and city lawyer are identical
while in their practical exercise the,
oftentimes are distinctly different
2. The country lawyer, as rule
lives in the county seat. The county
seat is usually the trading and ship
ping center of considerable rural pop
ulatiOn. These interests can be ant
frequently are the basis of every char
acter of litigation"
3. His experience reaches out to
touch the entire circumference of the
law.
a. The rural bank can be perplexed
with just as difficult problem involving
commercial paper as can its metropoli-
tan correspondent.
b. THE small trading corporation
has within itself the seeds of as intri-
cate questions of corporation as one
whose capital stock is thousand times
as great.
C. The questions arising out of the
sale OF house, or growing crop are
often as troublesome as those arising
out of the sale of railroad or a land
grant.
d. ''The ever present railroad gives
rise to litigation involving the whole
law of carriers, master and servant.
e. "The construction of the constitu-
ton and statutes concerning taxation
and municipal powers is often required
+. Divorce is occasionally necessary
G. The criminal law in all its pha-
'es has part in every country law
rer's practice"
4. He finds that the law is science
md not a conglomeration of unrelated
'recedents; that aside from some arbi-
rary conventions the law is natural
ustice applied to human affairs; that
he laws reasoning is the reasoning of
he unbiased, untrammeled, natural
mind"
.. ''He is still the constant adviser |
bout petty and personal things for
Which he is unwilling to charge fee.
lis views on politics and matters of
ublic interest are still sought and fol-
owed by those who are not clear in

A SPECIAL APPEAL.

Among the eight constitutional
amendments which are to be voted OF
in Missouri at this coming election
Amendment No. seems to be of par
ticular Importance to a great many
So important does it appear to the Mis-
souri, Bar Association and so beneficial
would be its adoption, that bipartisan
committee of ten men, appointed by the
president of that association, has ad,
dressed an appeal to the voters of the
state, urging their support and setting
forth the reasons in favor of it.
The appeal sets forth the purpose of
the amendment and the present condi-
tion which it will remedy. The amend
ment provides for two additional
judges and three divisions of the Su-
preme Court of Missouri. As the court
is now constituted, there are seven
Judges and two divisions. Under the
proposed change, there would be three
divisions with three Judges each. All
the divisions would be in session at the
same time and in the same building.
An interchange of opinions would pre-
vent unnecessary conflicts. Instead of
two regular terms of court as now ar
ranged, there would be three each year.
A further provision of the amendment
would equalize the salaries of the
Judges of the Supreme Court and the
Judges of the Kansas City Court of
Appeals by making them the same as
those of the judges of the st. Louis
Court of Appeals.
The need for this increase in the size
OF the Supreme Court exists because,
as the appeal argues, the present size
is not sufficient to handle all the cases
coming before the court, with the
promptness necessary for right and JUS
tice. An increase in the jurisdiction of |
the Courts of Appeals would not obtain
relief because both the St. Louis and |
the Kansas City Courts were unable to
dispose of all the cases coming before
them at their last terms.
The appeal then goes on to show the
present condition of the Supreme Court.
1t is more than two years behind with
its docket. having 100 cases undisposed
Of. Cases after cases have been decided
after years of delay with the result that
yrpat harm has heen done hy tho ina |
bility of the court to do its work
quicker. Though the population and
wealth of Missouri have made great
strides, the Supreme Court has not been
Enlarged since the year 1890 Only by
Increasing the size of the court can the
situation be met and the increasing dan
ger of injustice from our highest court
,e avoided.

Women's Styles.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
1t is generally admitted by men that
women are fools and one is inclined
to think so when one sees their servile
adoption of ridiculous STYLES. Hats
these days are enormous and there Is
no sign near of any change. These
millinery anomalies may be regarded
as becoming, but they are out of all
proportion to the rest of the figure and
proportion is the first requisite OF
beauty. Men would not wear them
because they are uncomfortable. Just

Typewriters Necessity.

To the Editor Of the University Mlssourian:
There ought to be more typewriters
in the University available to the stu
dents. The students in Journalism are
the only ones allowed or encouraged
to typewrite manuscripts. Every man
or woman who goes into the business
world and cannot use machine is
handicapped. At any time an expert
stenographer can get work to do and
many young lawyer has found that
this talent tided him over starvation.
In these days of hurry more different
kinds of papers have to be typewrit-
ten.
No magazine will read story or
article which is not typewritten. 1t
is an invaluable asset for any man or
woman. To equip it's students to 60
into the world, The University ought
to have at least two hundred machines
scattered over it's buildings Not only
would it be great assistance to the
students, but half the number of Fresh.
