TOOK UPWARD TURN HHGHwATER MARK or FORTNIGHT IS
 REACHED. Looks Like Secret is About to Open and That a Slice of Demand is l. to Make Itself
 Known.

Poat-holiday week opened with cotton quoted at 9-1sc in Montgomery. the high mark of the fortnight. Things seem to have undergone somewhat of rejuvenation during the Information of last week.. and everything showed an advance. Even the stubborn Liverpool figures showed an sd- vance of a few points.
 The secret Is, or so it looks, that de- mAnd peers out of the dullness which has enveioped the cotton world for some weeks. reawakeuing of business activity promises that instilis new hope into the mass of the sorely buffeted bulls.
 And indeed, 1t is time for an improve ment. after last week, and the last few weeks. Exports for Christmas week showed up as only 3sT5 bales, far below the figures for the other weeks of the season.
 Montgomery's stock of cotton Is figured as ts.455, bales. This is, according to dope, the topmost point of the year. and will begin. from this date to decluine For the slackening receipts show that most of the crop has been garnered, that but small part of the entire amount of cotton is yet to come. All cotton of the better grades Is in the warehouses and that yet to be gin- ned and imported is of mediocre quality.

Menelik's Contrition.

King Menelik's decision to apologize to
Italy for the misbehavior of his troops at
Lugh and to pay an indemnity for the
Manage done there blows one of the minor
Var clouds from the International horizon.
The venerable monarch was doubtless in
fiuenced in his course by the English Of
fieials resident at Abbas Ababa. his capi-
tai. 1t is not to England's interest at
present to allow any more trouble to oc-
cur in Africa than may be prevented.
Everything Is working smoothly in that
quarter, SO far as the strengthening of
British influences is concerned. Italy is
an ally in certain continental affairs, and
there is doubtless perfect understanding
between England. France and Italy re-
garding the best manner of handling the
sometimes obstreperous Menelik. Just at
present il appears TO suit their purposes
TO allow him to reign as an independent
monarch. But he Is in his sixty fourth
year, and has no direct heir. His disso-
luton may come soon, and in the scram-
BILE for his succession. which is a much
complicated question. there will probably
have to be readjustments. possibly result
ing in the elimination of Abyssina as a
political entity.

there is an overwhelming sentiment In
favor of japanese exclusion is about as
truthful as to say that there is an over
whelming sentiment in this country in
favor Of lower car fares in Vienna.
1t has for some time been evident that
certain interests are working diligently.
through various channels, to foment
bitter feeling between the Japanese and
the people of this country. TheyS seized
upon the perfectly legitimate enterprise OF
sending a battleship feet to the Pacific
as an excuse to proclaim the imminence
of war. They have exaggerated every
trining occurrence upon the western
coast in which Americans and japanese
have come in conflict They have spread
broadcast unfounded reports Of mach
nations on the part of potent political
influences in this country to bring about
an issue. Nor have these emanations
been confined to the United States alone
From Paris have risen dense volumes Of
war-rumor vapors, the manufacture Of
which has been unquestionably inspired
by interests inimical to the United
States
There is today no wa--provoking is
sue between the United States and
Japan. There is no likelihood of the
evolution of such an issue. There is no
whelming sentiment" in favor of
Japanese exclusion. Yet there is a secret
war propaganda. Where Is 1t centered?
Who are its animating forces? Is it
purely domestic, or foreign? The tina

great pleasure the people feel at the pros

rated in the European capitals as Will
Hams ally If Mulay Hand should as
Sultan of Morocco place himself definitely
under the protection of Constantinople
1t would mean that Germany would exert
the European powers. Notwithstanding
the Algeciras convention and the sup
posed dominance of France and Spanish
interests in Morocco.
Is France prepared to fight to prevent
such a consummation? This question Is
today uppermost in the European mind
In the first place. the legislative cham
bers at Paris are suspected of being luke
warm toward the policy OF vigorous cam
paigning In Morocco. The ministry is
not at all certain of being strongly sup
ported in case 1t undertakes a program
of resistance to the ascent of the throne
by Mulay Hafid on the prescribed terms.
Yet II it yields supinely to his dominance,
under the dictation Of the shereefs and
ulemas of Fec, fanatics who are willing to
go to the extreme Of holy war to justify
themselves. it must bid goodbye to the
hope of ultimately securing its dominant
political and commercial interests in that
corner of Africa.
The menace of conflict between Ger
many and France is necessarily revived
by the complications growing out OF the
Moroccan affair. There have been signs
of late that the French people as mass
have lost the keen edge of their bitterness
in the matter of the two provinces
wrested from France by Germany. Per-
haps this trouble in Morocco will AFFORD
an opportunity to test the public senti-
ment on the subject The kaiser's visit
to Tangier may after all work out i'm
portant results bearing upon the politics
of continental Europe.

Ohio.

The situation as to the Ohio primary
stands today about like this: You can.
and you must; you can't, and you mustn't.
So what's a poor Buckeye republican to
do? 1t is all very unfortunate, though
grieving over split milk is not the highest
form of philosophy. Whatever the result
of the present complication may be. we
are certain to see a warm time in the
Ohio corner at Chicago. Equally certain
Is It, too. that the trouble will continue
after the national convention, at least In
Ohio. unless conservative men, more bent
on party success than on personal war
fare. take matters in hand and straighten
them out in spirit of conciliatfon. There
is time for rough riding. and time also
for giving q fellow d lift on the road
What is to be gained, now or later, by
riding Mr.. Foraker down? His real des-
tination is not the White House. and his
road back to the Senate ought not to be
Obstructed.

John Walter Smith.

John Walter Smith will this week be
elected a senator in Congress from Mary.
land. His victory over Gov. Warfield al
the primaries was easily won. and he will
take Office with the prestige that goes
with such demonstration of strength
He likes politics, and has the means for
playing the game. His experience in a.
fairs has been considerable, though it re-
mains to be seen what his talents may
be for such duties as he is now to take
up.
!. This prize has come to Mr.. Smith as the
result of patience and hard work He
has long desired it. He has more than
once made play for it. He and his
friends have complained of the treatment
which made their labo-s futile. Mr..
German frowned upon Mr. Smiths as
pirations, and that meant defeat. Had
Mr.. German lived it is most unlikely that
Mr.. Smith would ever have reached the
goal.
But Mr.. Smith bore adverse fortune
patiently, and bided his time. And time
at last has made things even. Not only
does Mr.. Smith secure the senatorship,
but does so as the successor Of Mr. Cor
man as the democratic, boss of the state.
The machine which under Mr.. German $
manipulation played such havoc with Mr..
Smiths hopes is now doing Mr.. Smiths
bidding. and playing havoc with the
hopes of others. No man In Maryland In
thinking of Gov. Warfield's present plight
and disappointment knows quite so we'll
how 1t Is himself as Mr.. Smith.
When the new senator takes his seat,
which will be at the close Of Mr.. Whyte's
term, the situation in the Senate will be.
in way, in Mr.. Rayner's favor That is
to say, Mr.. Rayner will be the senator
for the limelight. Mr.. Smith is not an
orator, and Mr.. Rayner is. Mr. Smith
is not lawyer. and Mr.. Rayner is. Mr..
Smith has had no senatorial experience;
and while Mr.. Rayner is not veteran
in the Senate he has been there long
enough to shake down and feel and ap-
pear thoroughly at home. On what we
know as field days, therefore, Mr.. Ray
ner will rise and shine and give Mary
land the glory, and absorb a little of 1t
for himself.
What advantage he will reap from this
when he comes up for reelection Is for
that day to decide. He is in office against
the utmost exertions Of the German ma
chine. He did what Mr. Smith failed to
do. He defied the machine. and defeated
1t. Will the machine. with Mr.. Smith
at the crank, be turned against Mr.. Ray
ner? And, If SO, will the Baltimore man
be run over. or will he repeat his per-
formance of two years ago and do to
Mr.. Smith what he did to Mr.. German?
