From John sharp Williams.

Il think the National Junior Republic
is engaged in a great and good work. To
teach childrea self-sovernment means to
1T q whole people better for self-gOvern-
ment. Then your self-government begins
at the right place-the self-government Of
tile Individual by the individual, which
cannot begin too soon. Then the second
step taken Is the right one-throwing the
boys into dependence upon one another.
so that early, one who is in a minority
learns to subordinate himself to the ma
jcrity in the interest of good team
work ;"

BY Judge W. II. De Lacy.

Il have been deeply impressed with the
value of the work done by the National
Junior Republic, near Annapolis Junction,

try, it aims to impress upon its members
the intimate connection between their
own and the common veal. and the use

promoted by faithful performance OF his
own duty on the part of each individual
in the community.
You wisely use. too, the incentives
that force the average citizen TO take up
mis- daily burdens, by a prudent distribu-
button of the benefits of the institution
according to merit, based upon the ac-
tuaI achievements of its individual citi-

develop in the inmates self-reliance and

BY ADMIRAL George Dewey.

The idea Of the National Junior Re-
public is excellent-to teach children to
govern themselves before they attempt
to govern others.
Perhaps the day may come when
there will be no jails. but only schools
for making good citizens, thus carrying
out the old proverb: An ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound Of cure""

From Isanc Cans.

The Naional Junior Republic is an or
SANITATION thar have long known to be
of much benefit to the young men and
through their development to the COM
munity. The originator of this unique
and splendid system of helping the help
less deserves the greatest cOmmendation
and consideration. II certainly will in
stin in the minds of the lads the value
of learning. and l don't know OF any
institution which performs such good and
loyal work under similar circumstances
The very fact that they are taught
the rudlments OF education, as well as
farming. manual training. housework,
&c. impresses one with the knowledge
that these boys will be benefited and
then character formed substantially for
the rest OF their lifetime. In my humble
EOpinIon. every citizen of the District of
Columbia who can AFFORD it should help
along this splendid work. which means
so much to the boy, to the community.
bHd to the republic. You have my best
wishes"
The Washington herald., 1912-03-16
From EIdridEe r. Jordan.

The work that is being done by the
Eational Junior Republic is Of an in
tensely practical nature. The problems
nj more or less serious import always
facing our citizens are problems that
demand in their solution not only loyal
" to the nation. but an intelligent grasp
Of the needs OF practical everyday life.
AS early as possible, a thoroughgoing
respect for and knowledge of the under
lying principles upon which the PROPOSE
tion of self-gOTcrnment stands should be
impressed on the boys of America
This is what the Junior Republic un-
de-takes to do, and by appealing to the
boy OF to-day during his impressionable
age, making him feel that he is a factor
IN the life and progress OF the nation
and thai his importance will increase as
he approaches maturity, the widest scope
and opportunity is given the interest and
enthusiasm natural TO youth. Under the
system that is followed, the boy learns
three things:
First, the necessity for law; second,
that his best interests are being conserved
by the law; third. the dignity and inde-
pendence of honest labor.
With these three things thoroughly i'm
bedded in his makeup, we may well
have full confidence in the future con-
duct and achievements of young Ameri-
ca, and through him, of the nation at
large"

'I wish to commend the excellent work
which the Junior Republic is doing at
Annapolis Junction, Md. No work has
ever been undertaken in behalf Of dere-

beyond question the wisdom Of training

with Mr.. Georges work has been to
strengthen the individual through self
government. His success has been

THE COTTON MARKET
Loses an Early Advance and
Gets Into New Low Ground.

New crop deliveries In the local cotton
market went below ~ cents yesterday Oc-
tober and January touching 1876 cents
and December the 12-cent mark, or ~ 20
q points below Wednesdays close, and
moro than 81 90 a bale under tho best high
prices Of the morning. The opening was
affected by hrmness in Liverpool and was
at 8 TO II points net higher. This adj
vance, slight as 1t was after the recent
break. attracted liquidation, and as the
market eased Off selling became general.
There were only slight rallies, but the
market was nervous and unsettled, and
the close showed rally OF only or 4
points from tho lowest, which last figures
10 to 10 points below those of Wednesday
Covering by shorts seemed TO afford about
the only support the market had. even
at the 12-cent level, In spite OF the enor-
Gus liquidation which has taken place
since the August bureau report. Bearish
sentiment seems TO be very strong. based
on favorable crop advices, rumors of an
easier spot basis for early winter ship
ment. and an Increased new crop move
ment at Southwestern points. Southern
spot markets were unchanged to Isc
lower, and the local market showed q
drop OF 10 points TO 12.60c for middling up
land. Sales. 30 bales. Local contract
prices.

Fears Of a bullish government report on
Friday sent shorts to cover yesterday, ana
as result wheat prices advanced pracu-
cally q cent bushel, with the close at
about the top of the day. Strength at
Northwestern points, unfavorable weather
In harvesting districts, and rumors OF
black rust damage, helped the 6rmness,
added to feeling that a much larger
export trade was being put through than
published reports would indicate. Corn
showed an advance OF a cent bushel In
the September option. indicating a strong
spot position and good cash demand.
There was an advance OF Hqiac on new
crop deliveries, and the market closed
firm at practically the top Oats made
about the same record being firm all day,
and closing %alBc net higher.
Coffee started off with a decline OF to
IL points. and bullish trade support
steadied the market for time. but buy
Ing orders attracted larger offerings from
Cotton Exchange and Wall Street inter-
ests, and prices broke sharply, the close
being at Is TO 10 points off from Wednes-
day, and at practically the lowest Of the
