The recent annual meeting or the
American Bar association presented
sharply the standpat and progressive
views.
The presidents address by Alton b.
Parker was a lawyers brief against
the whole progressive movement. Not
only the initiative and referendum and
income tax were bad, but popular cleo
ton of United States senators, and
even direct nominations were sub
versive of our institutions. The income
tax was a device by which the many
were to levy taxes to be paid by the
few. The scare-crow, that through the
income tax the nation would invade
the rights of the states, was put for
ward. Democracies were an Idle
dream: and the permanence OF our
government was dependent upon con-
tinuing to be a halfway station be-
tween monarchy and Democracy.
Courts were urged to declare the
initiative and referendum void be-
cause the federal constitution guaran
teed to each state q Republican form
of government, and that this means a
representative form of government.
Apparently. the president had for
dunn had it's beginning in this country
in the New England town meeting,
where the citizens OF q community
made laws directly. without the inter
vention Of representatives.
The large influx Of foreign popula-
ton, and particularly from southern
and central Europe. was mentioned
by the president as being responsible
for the progressive" movement In
this country. He claimed that they
did not know our system of govern
ment and therefore could not be trust
ed to make any changes In II. This
argument is laughable when one re-
members that the portion Of the coun-
try that has received the largest por-
ton of such NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
vania and West Virginia-are the
least progressive states. while the
progressive" states Of Oregon, Kan
sas, Iowa. Wisconsin and Maine have
but a small admixture Of such immi-
grafton and in absence of illiteracy
represent the highest type Of Ameri-
can citizen.
On the other hand, the address OF
Woodrow Wilson, president of Prince
ton university, was not only progress
sive, but throughout breathed faith
In Democracy. A body OF lawyers has
rarely had truths more bluntfy stated.
He said:
"In very few ages of the world has
the struggle for change been so wide
spread, so deliberate. or upon so great
a scale as this which We are taking
part in. Society Is looking itself over

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, January 19.-(Special)- European advices showed the belief abroad that the liquidation in America had spent its force, and that prices had reached a point where the demand from spi.ners would be constant. Advancing some or points, when a corresponding decline had been expected, the Liverpool market was a large buyer here during the opening hour. absorbing the small quan- tity remaining to be liquidated. A weak stock market and two failures on the stock exchange were without effect, show ing coneusively that the Wall street holdings had been sold to the strong peo- pie of the trade who took their holdings either last Friday or yesterday. This buying for Europe continued all day, and is the feature coupled with the demand from our American spinners which leads us to look for higher prices. The long in- terest was larger than anyone thought possible, but each bale bought now by spinners at home or abroad disappears from the market and will not come back. Liverpool should be 8 points higher to- morrow

 Some Time.
BUYERS ARE CONFIDENT I

New York, January 19.Arhe tremend- ous liquidation has relieved the cotton market of the weak long interest and trading today was less active with prices advancing sharply on covering and trade buying. The close was several points off from the best. but very steady at a net gain of IA to IS points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 15 to s7 points in sympathy with a continuation of the buying movement which developed after May contracts touched 1850 yesterday afternoon There was some irregnlarity during the morn- ing and at one time prices sold eff n 13.SSc for March and 1397c for May un- der liquidation and local bear pressure; the latter being encouraged by an idea that after the close of the English mar aet and a withdrawal of arbitrags orr ders there would be hardly enough de- mand here to maintain an advance
 But no liquidation of importance ce- veloped on this setback. On the COZ trory, there was a better demand from
 
 found that not even tn, trouble m stock exchange circles was bringing out any long cotton of cons sluence, the market became very firm with March selling at 14.10c and May at 1434c, late in the aft ernoon or 55 to 56 points net higher and Sa to S5 points above the low prices of yesterday. There was some realizing and Wall st' eet selling during the last few minutes with March closing at 14.12c and May at 1421c.
 There has been no indication of organ ized bull support on the market today but tle course of prices evidently strength- ened the impression crsatcd by the rally Of late yesterday that the recent drastic liquidation had prscry wei leliminated the weak short interes- and buyers showed greater confidence. Private ad- vices from the south were generally bull. ish as to the spot situation and 1t is re- ported that some cotton is to be shipped from the local stock to southern mills.

DEMAND IS MUCH BETTER

Chicago, January 1s.-Grain prices fell off sharply in the first half of the ses- sion today but rallied in the last hours, recovering most of the loss Provisions exhibited the same general tendency, al- though the decline was not as marked and the rally was somewhat stronger
 Liquidation based on increased arrivals of grain together with weak foreign cables caused the slump in the wheat pit. The decline at the lowest point ranged from s4c to 11sc. A rush of shorts to cover at the low point and a slightly improved demand for cash wheat changed the decline to an advance which regained practically all the lost ground May travelled from s1.o9 down to slO77s and rallied to close at S1.0S7s01.09 a shade lower than yesterdays final fig- ures.
 Almost normal transportation condi- tions resulting from fine weather precip- itated a rush of selling in corn at the outset. Liquidation forced the prices down Nc to 1hc. May declining from 67tc to 66hc.
 Covering by shorts pushed the prices up later in the session until the close when May stood unchanged from yester- days final figures at 671s@. .7ssc. The other futures closed a shade to sc high CT than the previous close.
 Tn the oats pit prices dropped through past of the session coincident with the decline in wheat and corn, large ar rivals being the moving factor in the dips. Improvement in the demand for cash oats together with desire by leading shorts to get under cover caused & rally which steadily advanced prices until the close The range for the day was from Mc to 1sc. At the finish May was Ac lower than yesterdays final fig ures at 4714047ssc. July closed 1sc lower than yesterday at 437sc and September closed 1sc higher than the previous final figures at AAc.
 Heavy buying in the provisions pit credited to packers changed a weak start to a strong final half of the market This pit followed grain and the close was in consonance with the improved grain conditions. From the high to the low the range was from 10c to 35c. May and July pork closed 15c higher; lard 15c, and ribs 10c to 121sc higher than yeste-- days finals
