TRADERS DISAPPOINTED
Weakness is again Shown on
the Market.
CLOSING TONE Is MARROW
Cotton Bill Of Ladins Dispute Be-
tween American and British Bank
ers Proves Depressing Factor In ir-
regularity Of Exchange Operations.
(Ry Associated Pressl

| NEW YORK. Sept 22.-The stock
market started the day with show
OF disappointment over the unrespon
| siveness of the outside demand TO the
developments which were considered
favorable yesterday. The later action
| of the market was regarded as max
ing encouraging resistance to the
| force OF the realizing movement.
Some confusion of reports regarding
| the action of London bankers to-
| wards the cotton bill of lading dis
| pute was a factor in the late irregu-
| larity of the market. The closing tone
was without narrow price changes
The present operators who were re-
sponsible for yesterdays rise. were
| little inclined TO maintain their re-
sponsibillty without the backing Of h
buying demand more remote from
brokers Offices. They complained on
the contrary that there was a supply
OF stocks for sale which seemed to
indicate open opinions positively I'M
| favorable to the advancing tendency
of prices.
Opinions OF the iron and steel posi-
tlons continued much unsettled and
fessed confidence in maintenance OF
prices seemed to disappoint a hope
that decisive steps were in contem.
plation which were awakened de-
mand and renew the declining activi-
ty of the trade.
The conflict OF advices over the ex-
act steps taken by the London bank
ers' conference today left the hope
that there was better hope OF an
agreement over terms for financing
the cotton export than was indicated
by the reports OF explicit refusal OF
the American bankers proposition.
Stock market sentiment would be
favorably affected by getting this
vexed problem out of the way.
Room would be thus left for the
more active play of the favorable
conditions growing up in the money
market.

A REMINDER OF 1.-THE GOOD
OLD DAYS"


News who, not being entirely salts
fed with our imperfect primary sys-
TEN. is inclined to join with the pro-
fessional politician in a request Tor
a return to the good old days or
ward meetings and city conventions,
be ought to have attended the Repub-
lican city mass meeting at Rosen-
baum's hall last night. A Democrat
who had participated in or observed
gatherings under the auspices of his
own party in the old days would
have seen a strangely familiar scene;
a younger and inexperienced member
would ave learned a lesson calculat-
ed TO make of him an ardent primary
advocate if he had had his doubts
about the system before.
There are in Newport News some
three hundred and fifty men who pay
their poll taxes and consistently vote
the Republican ticket. The number
OF qualified Republican voters varies
from year to year, just as the mum
Der OF Democratic votoers varies. but
three hundred and fifty probably Is
a conservative estimate OF the nor
NAL vote Yet the city mass meet
ing was held last night in hall which
must be crowded in order to accom-
modate one hundred and fifty people.
There was no doorkeeper and no ques.
lions were asked as people
filed into the hall. The men
present might have been Re
publicans, Democrats. Socialists or
what not; nobody seemed to care.
And certainly no one could say how
many of the hundred and fifty, more
or less. were qualified to vote.
This meeting. attended by perhaps
one-third of the qualified Republican
votoers in Newport News, elected
city chairman, a city committee AMI
delegates TO the First district con-
vention. Where were the other two
hundred or more Republican voters?
They were at home or at their places
of business. Taking il for granted
ttat the local party leaders, in mass
meeting held in a small hall, could
ard would run things in their own
way regardless OF the individual vo;-
erS they probably could see no pros
pect OF accomplishing any good re-
suit by attempting to pack three han
cred and fifty people into a smoke
filed room that would hold about one
third that number.
Republican leaders who controlled
last nights gathering need not feel
that this paper is going out OF its
way to comment unfavorabiy upon
their meeting. As a matter of facs.
a. mass meetings go, 1t was sue
cess. There was no semblance o.
disorder. the organization was effect.
cd in regular fashion and in the vot
ing one side always had a majority
50 large as TO leave no room for dis
.ute over the result And. as far a.
We know. all OF the men in attend
pnce a, least live in Newport News
Some Of the Democrats who were
here ten years ago viii recall tina
this could not be said always Of ths
mass meetings Of their own party.
This comment Is made because Th'

the primary. Is more than ever Of th'
opinion that even should u prove i'm

fective system now used by the Dem

More Trouble for BYstanders.

That helpless shuttlecock of whim- sical fortune, the innocent bystander, Is threatened with a new peril. At an aviation meet the other day, while he was sheltered by his tonneau roof tree, surrounded by his loved ones and several favored guests. runaway flying machine, with every appearance of vicious forethought, hastily dropped itself on the bystander's automobile, smashing the machine and tumbling its occupants into the highway.
 And now what's the bystander going to do? Is he to be crushed to earth, like truth, by every tumbling air bug who thinks himself an aviator? Is he to be rudely mussed up by planes and motors and steering gears? Can't he take a little atmosphere in his garden without finding himself driven into the ground by the beak of diving air craft?

Purity

Purity is desirable quality. espe, cially Tn human beings. Half the world doesn't know how the other half wants 1t to possess purity. There are two kinds: Bodily purity and mental purity. Statistics upon the lack of the former are more volu. minous than upon the lack of the lat ter. Tuberculosis and appendix talk seems to indicate that bodily impurity is, to say the least, prevalent-ol would 1t be better to say that bodily purity is impreyalent!
 But, in dealing with impurities o the mind, we cannot be so sure, be cause people will not 'fess up w simply have to guess, and that's where Mime. Grundy comes in We neve know whether Mme Grundy Is righ or wrong, but, sizing up the res of the world in the light of our owl impurities, we continue to listen t, her and cannot down the conclusion that she Is about half right, and that what makes us so mad. Nor Is 1 likely that a pure thought law woul, do much good.

AN lNTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was slight itching but it grew steadily worse until, when combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, in painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Bombing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tan gled terribly because of the blood and Scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. l was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald.
 Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep we'll and, after being asleep short time, that awful stinging pain would commence and then 1 would wakeeup nearly wild with the torture A neighbor saidsit must be salt rheum. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as toilet soap before, 1 now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies -Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradi- cated, but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight re- turn of the scalp humor. l con- menced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp 1 used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soap and half box of Cuticura Ointment in all. The first time l took six or seven bottles of Gu ticura Pills and the last time three bottles-neither an expensive or te- dious treatment Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound, it comes to my knees and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be wholly bald.
 This is a voluntary, unsolicited tes- timonial and 1 take pleasure in writing it, hoping my experience may help someone else. Miss Lillian Brown, R. F. D. 1, Liberty, Me-, Oct. 29, 1909"

Terrors of Frankness.

There is no worse vice than frankness.' said Booth Tarkington, at a farewell dinner in New York prece- dent to his departure for Europe. How should feel, for example, If l asked you for your opinion of my plays, and you answered me frankly, quite frankly?
 Why. l should feel like the poor lady at the bridge drive who said to her hostess little daughter:
 Your eyes are such a heavenly blue. And what color are my eyes, darling?

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS BEFORE
 NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE
Lecture on international Peace" Is Delivered in Christiania---W Ways in Which the Cause May Be Advanced Are
 Set Forth.

ia.-"International Peace" was the fitting topic selected by Col. Theodore Roosevelt for his lecture be- fore the Nobel prize committee, which was delivered here Thursday. A large and distinguished audience listened to the man to whom was awarded the Nobel peace prize for bringing about peace between Japan and Russia Mr Roosevelt said:
 It is with peculiar pleasure that stand here today to express the deep appreciation l feel of the high honor conferred upon me by the presenta- tion of the Nobel peace prize. The gold medal which formed part of the prize I shall always keep, and I shall hand it on to my children as a precious heirloom. The sum of money provided as part of the prize by the wise gen erosity of the illustrious founder of this world-famous prize system, I did not under the peculiar circumstances of the case, feel at liberty to keep. think it eminently just and proper that in most cases the recipient of the prize should keep for his own use the prize in it's entirety. But in this case, while I did not act officially as president of the United States, it was nevertheless only because I was pres ident that l was enabled to act at all; and I felt that the money must be considered as having been given me In trust for the United States. I there fore used it as a nucleus for a founda- tion to forward the cause of indus trial peace, as being well within the general purpose of your committee; for in our complex industrial civiliza- tion of today the peace of righteous ness and justice, the only kind of peace worth having, is at least as necessary in the industrial world as it Is among nations. There is at least as much need to curb the cruel greed and arrogance of part of the world of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel and unhealthy militarism in interna- uonal relationships.

 A colored woman presented herself the other day in an equal suffrage state at the place of registration to qualify for the casting of her vote on the school question at the next cleo ton.
 With what political party do you affiliate?" inquired the clerk of the unaccustomed applicant, using the prescribed formula.
 The dusky lady blushed, all coy ness and confusion. "Is l 'bleged to answer that there question?'
 Certainly; the law requires it."

Treaties of Arbitration.

The advance can be made along several lines. First of all there can be treaties of arbitration. There are. of course, states so backward that civilized community ought not to en- ter into an arbitration treaty with them, at least until we have gone much farther than at present in se- curing some kind of international po- lice action. But all really civilized communities should have effective ar bitration treaties among themselves. believe that these treaties can cover almost all questions liable to arise be- tween such nations, if they are drawn with the explicit agreement that each contracting party will respect the oth- CTS territory and absolute sovereignty
