COTTON UP So PER BALE
Bulls Large Buyers-South Would
Not Sell at Decline.

Memphis, Tenn.-In an active and
steady market, unattended by excite
ment, cotton prices advanced 60 points
Tuesday, or So per bale. On the pre-
ceding day values dropped below IA cents
for some options and were 125 points
under the high prices of last week. On
the rise January sold at 14.65 and March
at 1879.
The bull party in New York, of which
Patten is commonly reputed the leader,
were buyers. The so-called Wall street
crowd bought some, and those who had
sold it thinking the market vas going
still lower bought to stay further losses
1t has been the opinion of many in
the trade that the declines of last week
and Monday of this week were forced
The advance of the day brought out
again the bullish influences ecli2sed by
the decline, and the indicated shortage
of the present crops was a leading in1u'
ence. On the break the farmers OF the
South and other holders of the actual
cotton refused to sell and this turned at
tention anew to the strength OF the
staple on its merits.

HOLDS BETTING NOT CRIME
New York Court of Appeals Afirms
Judge Gaynor's Decision.

Albany, ~. Y.-Betting is a crime only
when accompanied by a record, registry
or the use of some part of the paraph-
ernalia of professional gamblers, accord
ing to a decision handed down by the
court of appeals. In effect the decision
holds that oral betting does not con
stitute bookmaking in violation of the
so-called anti-race track gambling laws
recommended by Gov. Hughes.
In holding that the laying of odds
alone does not constitute Il crime, Judge
Haight says.
'If a man should offer 10 bet the ladies
of his party a pair of gloves to a box OF
candy, it would be the laying of odds
and publishing the same. TO hold him
to be a bookmaker would, in my judg-
ment, be a departure from the rule which
gives to the terms of the statute their
ordinary and accepted meaning, and
would be a construction which was not
within the contemplation of the legisla-
ture."

CONSPIRACY IN THE CABINET
Holdover Member of Roosevelt Ad.
ministratlon SUSPECTED.

Observation-Disclosures advisers Of
President Taft are of the opinion that
there is a conspiracy to hold his cabinet
up to ridicule and contempt.
One man is said to be at the head of
this conspiracy, and it is understood to
be the inspiration of the plans to dis
credit President Taft's l%ieutenants by
comparing them with the lieutenants of
President Roosevelt. 49,
The man who is suspected of being a
press agent for assaults on several of
President Taft's cabinet officers is an
official of the government, who came
over as a legacy from the Roosevelt gov
eminent.
There is very little question that there
will be a general demand by the cabinet
for the decapitation of this official, and
there is very little doubt that his name
was used at the special extraordinary
conclave of the cabinet officers held
Tuesday night at the department OF
Justice.

HOW BLOCK SIGNALS WORK
Operation Of Ingenious System That
insures the Safety OF Railroad
Passengers.

Comparatively few people know
just what is meant by block signals
when they read that a railroad has es.
tablished the system on its lines.
The block Is a length of track which.
on double track roads, has at it's en-
trance a post and movable arm, and
on single track lines one at each end.
To say that a line has every inch
protected by this system mean that
the entire line is divided into consec.
utive blocks. Only one line from Chi
cago to New York is thus protected,
and Of the total in the United States,
one-third is on the Union and South
ern Pacific.
The operation of the block system
is simple but absolute. In a few
words, it means that a train cannot
move from one block into the next
until the latter block is empty. AS a
train o forward, the signal arm
is set to show that the block just left
may be entered by the next train
following. When a train enters a
block it so affects the en-
ergy that is a part Of sig
q mailing that the soma
~ phore arm remains hOri-

ZOntal until the block is
vacated, when the arm
automatically drops and
points diagonally toward
the ground. Therefore,
as long as the engineer
sees only dropping sig
nails he can keep on 60
ing, but the instant he
finds the arm stretching
out over the track, he
must come to q stop,

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

We have frequently remarked that
the light Of the Gospel is penetrating
the world OF thought today. and en-
tightening it gradually. Truth IS ris-
Ing and before its rays the shadows
fee.
One illustration Of this is found IN
the attitude OF Christians toward the
doctrine OF eternal punishment We
notice in The Montreal Star an article
signed by one Joseph Hamilton. In
which the writer takes up the question
OF eternal punishment. as follows:
THAT doctrine Is contained I'm tho
creed Of both the Methodist and the
Presbyterian churches. but DO the min
listers believe 70? II they do, would they
not preach DO, yes. preach it morning,
noon, and nlgltf But. as matter of
fact they do not preach d. I never
heard r. sermon on o. or any attempt
90 prove IT, since / was "a child. A
few weeks ago IN "a large congregation
ln Toronto the preacher asked for a
show of hands ON the part OF any who
had heard "a sermon on hon within the
past ten years Two hands were held
OPP Some time ago "a noted Methodist
minister told me that the Methodist
ministers of Canada do not believe iu
everlasting punishment The prosbv-
terrain ministers seem larCely 20 hold
the same view L. the subject mooted
at AN in amy Presbyterian churcha"
This caused another reader OF the
Montreal star Thos Albert shachleton,

editor of Daily Star. Dear Sir
Replying 10 the letter of Joseph Ham

I think the definition of eternal pun-

THE LEGIsLATURE.

That the results OF the labors OF the
Eighth Legislature Of Utah are rather
Disappointing is q very general opinion.
And yet a number OF good, able men
were members OF that body--men with
the interests OF the people at heart.
Possibly never before has Legislature
Of this State labored under greater diff
hculties From the very first it found
itself between the fires OF two con-
tending forces, subject TO the difficult
ties Of such a situation. That accounts
very largely for many Of the shortcom-
ings for which criticism Is now be-
slowed IN unstinted measure.
Some good legislation has been effect
ed. The good roads bin and the laws
relating 10 juvenile courts can be men
TONED among other excellent measures
The creation Of a State capitol commits
sion is another achievement
Some bad legislation proposed has
been turned down. as for instance the
public utility commission bin. A great
deal OF useless expense has been saved
10 the State by the failure to create
that commission
But the Legislature has failed seri-
ously IN its refusal 10 pass conserva-
tive prohibition bin and a Sunday clos
ing law. Both were demanded by
large majority OF the people. And no
mistake would have been committed in
giving due consideration 20 tho popu-
lar desire.
The prohibition bii introduced by
Representative Cannon WAS uucoro-
moniously thrown out of the Senate
and Dir. Cannon WAS even treated disc
oourteously by the committee having
the matter Don hand. There was no
need Tor such procedure. However
