Senate a leaderIess Body.

What the Senate really will do is mat
ter of the widest conjecture. 1t is, Writ
ually, leaderless body. The Republicans
are split, some of them making no pretence
of following Senator Cobb unless it pleaseS
them to do so Thus he will not be able 10
bring any solid body of votes either to his
own COMPROMISE bill or the Assembly s
notion of primary reform. the Meade-Phil-
lips bill.
The Senate ever since the Assembly
killed the Governors bill, has been under
great pressure from home. Letters and
kilograms have almost literally showered
on the members urging them TO support
the Governor. The editorial criticism OF
the killing of the Governors bill has been
widespread in all save newspapers owned
or controlled by the organization. It's
strength has surprised the Governor
friends. From this they infer that those
Senators who went home over Sunday Will
get a pretty definite notion that the state
really wants the Governors bill.
Hughes men are loaded with criticisms
of the Meade-Philips bill and the Grady
Frisbie measure They think they can
riddle both those measures so effectively as
to leave it clear that anybody desiring real
primary reform must vote for the Gov
ernor's bill. Then they are content to let
the result go to the people of the state
and if the Senate should pass the Gov
errors bill to have all responsibility cen
tired on Speaker Wadsworth and his AS
senbly machine

Bears Have Had Upper Hand
But Are Losing Their Grip
EUROPE BUYS HEAVILY
The Crop Movement Continues Light
and Texas Needs More Rain to In
sure Large Crop-GOod Dry
Goods Trade Is Predicted

New York, February 25.-Though
latterly prices have advanced on heavy
buying of March and May by big spot
interests and large purchases by LiY-
erpool straddlers afraid of a squeeze
in the May option, quotations In the
fore part of the week were depressed.
Trade was reported dull at such CEN
ters as Fall River, Providence, Boston.
Charlotte, N. c., Philadelphia and Man
chester, England. Spinners have con-
tinued to fight the market either by
curtailment or by buying in the most
sparing way possible. Their own Gus
toners are buying cotton goods in the
same scanty fashion. Added to this
speculation received a blow many
weeks ago from which it has not re-
covered. i
A few big men and some profession
al traders have been buying more or
less at times, but the general pub
lie seem to have had enough of cot
ton for the time being as well as of
stocks and grain. Speculation Is ev-
erywhere in allegiance. Cotton prices
for the rest of the session, it is be-
Grafton of supply and demand. Specu-
lation seems powerless to bring about
permanent conditions one way or an
other. A recent decline, however, of
100 to 1875 points seemed to call for
at least a temporary rally and with
in the last few days it has come.
Some of the big dry goods concerns
of the country are predicting an ex-
cellent trade. Heavy liquidation in
Liverpool has cleared the atmosphere
there and the strength of the English
quotations has latterly surprised many
people here. Meantime a large short
interest had grown up in New York.
Liverpool and New Orleans. Powerful
traders have latterly been exploiting
this bear interest. Bears had grown
over confident.
Continental people have been heavy
buyers in Liverpool. Large spot in
terests here have bought March and
May on a big scale. So have Liver
pool straddlers in evident fear of be-
ing caught between the upper and
neither grindstones, especially in the
May option where a decided pinch
seemed to be threatened The crop
movement has continued light. Texas
still needs a good deal of rain.
On the other hand, however, there
is a widespread and deep seated skep-
ticism as to the possibility of bring
ing about more than temporary rallies
in the price of cotton. Trade and
speculation are considered too dull to
admit of a permanent rise. The Scott
bill, aiming to suppress trading in fu-
lures, Is, considered a factor militat-
ing against rise of prices. Also IT
is declared that, allowing for curtail-
ment and dullness OF trade, there will
be plenty of cotton for the rest of the
season.
Meantime big preparations are being
made for the next crop. The area Will
be large, fertilizer sales are already
heavy, and labor is abundant. On FIR
day prices advanced, 10000 bales in
March notices being promptly stopped.
Big freight engagements for Europe
were rumored to have been made.

universal sorrow.

ments to Be Made
NEW JERSEY MAN TALKS
Says Experience of Whole Country Is
That Ii Is farmers Vote Which In
variabIy Defeats Good Roads
Bond Issues
NEW JERSEY MAN TALK:

IF you really want to get good roads
in Jefferson county the only way to do
it is to start a hard, systematic cam
paign, figure on the new roads that
are needed, those that need macadamiz-
ing and those which need widening,
find out the estimated cost of the work
on each road and include all of this
in the ballot of the proposed bond
ISSUE" said Alec c. Hampton of New
ark. n J., who has had nearly 40
years experience in roadbuilding. Mr..
Hampton is here for a day or two and
discussed the question of good roads in
an interesting manner last night. He
is visiting a cousin, Alec Hampton BID
good of West End.
During my experience 1 have been
in a great many different parts of the
United States and have witnessed all
sorts of good roads movements. There
have been innumerable instances OF
where everything was worked up nice
Iy and things looked as If the issue
would carry only to be beaten by the
country vote.
u have had close observation into
three or four movements of the kind 1
suggest and each of them has worked
out successfully. 1t is my understand
ing that this idea has been suggested
here. and [ would certainly recommend
that you try it. By placing the esti-
mated cost of the work on the ballot
and including the whole in a lump sum
you will find each man voting for 1t
in order to secure the Improvement for
the work he wishes.
Another recommendation which 1
would like to give is that a stone gut
ter be constructed along each side of
the roads and the roads built on a
curve to the center in order that the
water may drain free to the gutter.
This gutter may be a bit expensive but
it will save double it's cost in the long
run by keeping the roads from wear
ing away so rapidly.
My experience has been that it is
the farmer who always blocks the good
roads game, and his reason 1 can't
fathom. You will find it this way all
over the country. 1t is a rare instance
for the city vote to be cast against
good roads bond issue, although
there are but very few instances where
such money can be expended in any part
within the coporate limits of town"

There Is probably rot one of us but
who can apply this phrase of regret to
son1efurning point In our lives.
About Is years ago p. G. Powell, then
a citizen of Birmingham, was offered ten
acres OF land lying just south of the rail-
road tracks, in the center of the city
of Birmingham, for $1,000. He had the
money, but he was doubtful of the invest
merit.
He passed up the proposition.
In an incredible short time after some
other nan paid $4,000 for the same tract.
Mr.. Powell has just been on few
weeks visit to his son. Charles Nj. Pow
ell of the Showers Furniture company.
While bere MIR Powell walked over the
ten-acre tract and tried to estimate its
present value.
He contracted pain in his head in
the herculean effort and returned to
Ine lH1lu OF 0OT6Ps, pretty WpiIitn anu
mint juleps. You know where that is.
Mr.. Powell is now 76 years of age, hut
does not seem to be suffering any great
regret for his lack of judgment in his
earlier days. Kentucky atmosphere and
care free environment have sweetened his
life and he seems to be perfectly satisfied
with the results of his financial adven-
lures. He is not po5r man. Perhaps he
is happier than If he had made the small
deal in Birmingham dirt that is worth
millions today.
Who knows.
If what might have been had

Mr.. Powell lives about eight miles from

II is said that most offenses against
the law of the land are committed by
men between the age of q and 30.
The statistics are, of course, based on
the number of men who are caught in
their crimes. Past the age of 80 a man
should be skilled in the art of evading
arrest Before the age of 21~sweet char
ity has something to do with the shield
ing of the criminal and he keeps out
of the statistician's table of figures.
Close students of criminology and hui
man nature declare that all ages Of man
are ages of crime and rebellion against
all restraints of law moral and civil.
It seems to be fact that man is
born in sin and rarely survives the
stigma.
The child, before he knows the meaning
of law, rebels at restraint. He wants to
do the very thing that is forbidden. If
you want to give your child bad tasting
dose of medicine put It out of his way and
