Ion recently made by European cot
ton buyers and their banking repre-
sentatives that the seat of the So
called International Clearing House
and cotton bills committee be trans
ferred from this city to Liverpool is
meeting with determined opposition
in some quarters and comparative in
difference elsewhere.
Two Of the largest banks of the
city. whose dealings in cotton bills
are especially extensive, are opposed
to the change, as also are a majority
Of the committee on carrying roads.
American bankers profess to see in
the possible transfer an attempt by
the foreigners to bring the American
shipper or banker to the point whore
he baked last year, namely, an alb
solute guarantee o, every bill accept
ed here. G
Furthermore. 1t is pointed out that
to move the Clearing House to l.
pool would entail much additional ex-
penditure In cable tolls and other
wise all Of which probably would
have to be borne at this end Of the
line.
''The whole thing Is but another
way Of asking us to pull their chest

local bank officer today.
They seem to be suspicious of us
abroad because we are handling this
business at practically no cost to
them.

"The proposition advanced by Liy-

.REXROAT TALKS
OF THE ELECTION
ATTRIBUTES THE LIGHT VOTE
AND CLOSE RACE TO FACT
THAT PEOPLE DO KNOW.

From present indications the cleo
tion on the proposed amendment
promises to be very close; to what
do you attribute this fact, was the
question propounded to Representa-
tive ReXroat this morning He said:
The people in the country dis
tricts where railroads are worse
needed than elsewhere We're busily
engaged in their farming interests,
and had little time to study the ques-
tion that was put up to them by the
legislature. 1t is pity indeed that
they did not fully understand and APP
preciate the crying need for more
thorough development of the re.
sources of this state than they did,
which is the only means by which we
may expect lower taxation in this
state for the next twenty-five years
The trouble is simply this, the term
Railroad Corporation is odious to
to the minds of the ordinary farmer,
who, on account of lack of time to
properly consider and study the bene.
fits to be derived from railroads, ap-
peals alone to their prejudices and
not to their real better business
Judgment. The time is not far dis
tant when as a result of our magnif-
icent school system that the rural
districts of this state will be suffici-
emily educated along business lines
that they can intelligently act upon
questions of this nature when put up
to them for their decision. The pro-
posed amendment is absolutely fair
to all parties concerned according
to my judgment, and whether it wins
or loses, the citizenship of this state
can depend upon it that a brighter
day confronts us when the effects Of
our school system is brought into
requisiton regarding all public ques
tions in the future"

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk
that which may be irreparable. An
Arizona man says:
For years | could not safely eat
any breakfast. | tried all kinds Of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. | drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the
headaches afterwards. Toast and cof-
fee were no better, for found the
toast very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods,
and use Postum and Grape-N Nuts in
stead. shall never regret taking his
advice.
THE change they have worked in
me is wonderful. now have no more
of the distressing sensation in my
stomach after eating, and I never
have any headaches. l have gained
u pounds in weight and feel better in
every way. Grape-Nuts make de
licious as we'll as a nutritious dish,
and find that Postum is easily di
gested and never produces dyspepsia
symptoms"

Creek, Mich.
Get the little book, THE Road to
Wellville," in pkgs. There's a Rea-
son."
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest.

SUNDAYS GOOD DAY TO FIGHT.
American Naval History Shows Bat
ties Won on Sabbaths.

tieS WON on SapDdthS.
Although Uncle Sam is strict in
the enforcement of Sunday obser-
vances oboard his war craft" writes
correspondent of the Bluejacket, ut
is a singular fact that some of the
greatest naval battles in which he
has been engaged took place on the
Sabbath.
1T was the first day of the week,
October 25, 1912, that the American
frigate United States fought and cap
tured the British frigate Macedonian.
This action, together with the two
other single frigate actions of this
year, brought about the first complete
revolution in naval armament and
equipment in the last century, the
British admiralty frankly admitting
the overwhelming superiority of the
Yankee craft, and before the close
of hostilities building and equipping
frigates on the extra lines of their
trans Atlantic rivals.
Another great revolution in naval
warfare was brought about by that
memorable Sunday fight on March 8,
1862, when the Monitor and the Mer-
rlmac demonstrated to the world that
wooden war craft were doomed.
"Of the half dozen actions in our
naval war with France one of the two
most important battles, that between
the Constellation and the Vengeance,
took place on a Sunday, while sew
eral of the important gunboat opera
tions in our wars with the piratcal
that day.
1T is somewhat significant that
one Of the serious incidents that di
rectly led to the war of 1912 took
place on a Sunday. namely, when
Capt. John Rodgers in our 44-gun
frigate President in 1911 was fired on
by the British cruiser Little Belt.
Rodgers resented this break in the
holy calm Of the day and gave the
offender a drubbing that was long
remembered

Portland Argus Condemns At
tempt to Force Prohibi-
ton on Hawaii.

Declaring that the people of Ha-
hibition, the Argus, of Portland Me-,
makes a strong editorial attack on
the attempt now being made to pass
prohibition bill in Congress for
this Territory. The Argus says:
What the Rev. Dr. Blanchard re-
ferred to as the tyranny of prohi-
bition, in his recently-publishe arti-
Gle on resubmission, is partinently il
lustrated by the effort now making
in Congress to obtain the passage of
legislation forcing prohibition upon
the Territory of Hawaii. 1t appears
that the past Congress authorized an
election in Hawaii to determine
whether the Territory favored the
abolition of the liquor traffic. This
election, held in August last, result
ed in the defeat of the prohibition
proposition by heavy majority. 1t
was submitted to the people of Ha-
wall and the people rejected it with
emphasis, Now the prohibitionists
of that Territory are seeking to have
Congress force a prohibition act upon
it. That the majority of the people
are opposed to it, and have so de-
cared in an election held for the
purpose of ascertaining their will,
makes no difference to these prohibi-
