lea.
Bearing upon the foreign situation,
the continued decline in British Con-
sole is significant. British III per
cent Consols at 1874 are about equal
to sS5s for 3 per cents, SO that it Is
somewhat misleading to say that their
price is lower than at any. time since
1928. The lowest price for 8 per cents
was in 1S4S. Many reasons are adj
vanced for the extraordinary depre-
citation of this premier security. 1T
must be attributed to the high rates
OF interest, which are depreciating all
government securities. Fear of war
with Germany, and the various hui
manitarian and socialistic proposals OF
Lloyd George, have seriously increased
the load of the British taxpayer and
strained the national credit. The mad
| race between England and Germany
for naval supremacy must, II contin-
ued. have a telling effect upon the IL
nances OF both nations. In case Of
war both countries would have to pay
probably as high as per cent for
money, and the result OF this would
be disastrous upon British and Ger
man government securities alike. Even
! if no war occurs, there are some au-
liberties who expect that Consols will
not stop declining until they reach a
81 per cent basis.
> The railroad outlook is in some re-
| spects more promising. Gross earn
| ings are increasing, and still better
returns are to be anticipated during
the remainder of the year. Expenses,
however, have also risen very rapidly,
SO that net results are often disap-
pointing to stockholders. In the ar
filtration which has been in progress
this week between the railroads and
the engineers some highly interesting
material has developed What the re-
suits of that arbitration may be no
one yet knows. But in whichever di-
rection the verdict goes, 1t will stand
as the only sane and sensible way OF
settling such disputes. A strike would
have cost serious losses on both sides,
not to speak of the injury to public in
terests; and the verdict obtained by
force never carries with it the more
permanent element Of justice derived
through discussion and arbitration.
It is quite possible that the stock
market will rise to higher level, es-
pecially as some of the big operators
are largely interested on that side.
Good crops, better trade prospects
and the early adjournment OF congress
are all favorable to an upward move
ment, provided aggressive leadership
| is forthcoming. The report OF the
| Stanley Committee need cause no un-
| easiness, for there is not the remotest
chance OF any Of its provisions being
adopted either by the house or the
senate in this session Of congress, and
the chances are very slim for the mex,
session. There is also little or nc
/ from the money trust Investigation
| which for some months past has been
an element of irritation. Congress
will probably shortly adjourn, because
/ its members are weary and have little

Let me serve little better,

Let me be a little drawer
When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that | should be,
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more OF my neighbor
And little less Of me.
Let me be little sweeter
Make my life bit completer,

Every minute of the day,
Let me toll. without complaining,
Not 8 humble task disdaining,
Let me face the summons calmly
When death beckons me away.

first half OF 1910. The increasing
number of marketed hogs, in spite OF
a lighter average weight at most Of
these markets, compared with earlier
years, is of much significance in the
future Of meat prices.
Undoubtedly the basis of produc-
ton of swine in the past three years
has been broadening. On January 1,
1911, the recovery from the previous
year was at the rate Of 1913 per cent.
On January 1, 1912, the country had
65.410,00O swine, or about as in 1911.
The average price during 1911 was
$3.50 for the high at Chicago. The
rapid increase during 1911 was die
to the extremely high price OF 1910,
averaging for the high at Chicago,
$11.20 per 100 pounds. The impulse
which these premium prices gave to
the hog industry in 1911 was Material
ly checked by last years small corn
crop Of 2,531 900, 900: but the fifteen
markets in question received over 81
100000 head more than in 1910 to June
80.
In the past half year the increase
was 100000 head more than in 1910,
and the indications are that for the
latter half of this year the country
will receive an unprecedented Access
sion Of corn-fed hogs at It's slaughter
ing centers, to say nothing about the
grass-fed and other varieties which
good feed crops now favor greatly
above the condition OF 1911. Apparent
/ ly cheaper meat of this kind is in
sight. Cheaper meat and cereals
should mean lower living costs, great
er prosperity and wider political con
Itentment.

 Torpedo practice had been in progress for some time. The submarine was prac- tieally submerged when she came into coi- lision with the Hazard. The gunboat was steaming at fairly high rate of speed and when she struck the submarine her bows cut big rent in the little vessels side.

 The Hazard threw out life buoys and launched boats but none of the men came to the surface.

MORE CHARGESOF
 ILLEGAL VOTING Warm Contest Is Raging in Louisiana Over
 Primaries

New orleans, February 2.-Follow- ing the arraignment in the criminal district court today of three alleged yiolators of the state election laws. Dis trict Attorney St. Clair Adams filed informations against 35 others on the same charges. In each bill 1t IS charged that the voter registered un- der the educational clause of the Louis jana election laws and in the primary held on January 23 asked and received assistance in preparing his ballot con trary to the prohibitions of the statute.
 Although District Attorney Adams, who has the backing of the Good Gov ernment league, has promised to re- lentlessly prosecute all alleged vio- istors of the election laws. As fast as he files informations against voters the prosecution of the cases is taken out of his hands by order of Governor Sanders, whose interpretation of the law is that the voter himself is the best judge of whether lie needs as- sistance in preparing his ballot Gov General Guion to take the place of ME Adams Tn all such prosecutions as soon as the informations ar filed.
 The day before, the primary Gov ernor Sanders issued a proclamation ir which assurance was virtually giver to this class of voters that they would be immune from the penalties of the law if they asked and received as' sistance in preparing their ballots. Il now appears that Attorney General Guion, whose interpretation of the law the governor believed to coincide with his own, has views not entirely in har- mony with the governors and will prosecute the cases wherever there ap- pears sufficient evidence that votef perjured himself in swearing al tue polls that he needed assistance fin pre- pairing his ballot

Strong Sentiment For Mr.

BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, February (Special.)-P. D. Gold, IT., vice president and general man ager of the Jefferson Standard Life h. surance company of Raleigh. N. C.. is in Washington and makes some interesting observations on the political situation. He said that there Is a strong sentiment among the democrats of North Carolina as well as other southern states that after casting their votes for fl years for presidential candidates selected in 'ha north and west, only one of whom had eyer been elected, that 1t was, about time that the south had an opportunity to vote for a southern man.
 Why said the prominent North Caro- Iinian, ''should not southern democracy, after furnishing the food and fuel doing tie cooking and sitting in the kitchen for ovor 70 wears, have a yi,sw from tine froi'r porch? In congressman oscar Underwood from Alabama the south has a candidate that will command the respect and the votes of united country. His record in Congress and especially as democratic leader of the south has proven that he IS one of the abest men in America.
 His life work had been in the cause of tariff for revenue only, the only plat form on which the democratic party has won since the cival war.
 There is strong sentiment in the south for MT Underwood, and especially since the Watterson- Harvey Wilson con- troversy, which has made people wonder who is It and what it means With ttc southern delegations for Mir. Underwood at Baltimore under the democratic two thirds rule he can be nominated and 1is nomination would mean his election.
