.RUCKER MAKES FIGHT
ON COTTON MEASURE
Attack Is So Severe That Ad-
journment Has to Be
II aiken
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Charging
bad faith against those behind the Beall
bill prohibiting dealing in cotton fu-
lures, which was discussed in the house
today under a special rule, Representa-
tive Ruclxer, of Colorado, Democrat,
waged such a determined fight on the
measure that ne forced an adjournment.
Mr.. Rucker declared he had the assur-
ance of. the leaders that he would be
given opportunity TO offer his amend
ment including in the measure wool
and all food products"
THE rule was so framed" said Mr..
Rucker, that it virtually precluded the
submission OF amendments"
The Rucker amendment, indorsed at
conference of senate and house Dem
ocrats, is supported by the National
Wool Growers association and the Ma
tional Grange. Before consideration of
the measure is resumed, Mr.. Rucker
and his associates will seek to reach
some agreement with those In charge of
the bill.
In the debate Representative Fitz-
gerald, of New York. Democrat, led the
fight on the bill. He declared it to be
unconstitutional and said it would work
a hardship on both the producer and
the consumer of cotton. Representa-
tive Beall, of Texas, author of the
measure. insisted that it sought mere
ly to prohibit gambling in cotton and
to establish a sound moral business
code.

west there are many sober. serious,
conservative people, who do not
sympathize with the radlcalism
which is rampant around them, but
who feel themselves helpless to re-
sist it. They are beginning to look
to the South, with its traditions Of
conservatism, to save them; and 1T
is well they should.
The South has the most homo
geneous population of any section of
the United States; and most Of our
people are of British descent. with
the religious and political influence
of a thousand years active in their
veins. 1t behooves the South, there
fore, to become the center Of con-
servatism around which all the con-
sentative elements of the country
may rally.
An agitation is threatened in
which it is avowedly and shamelessly
proposed to line up the American
people on mere material issues and
array class against class. That
sort of thing means revolution in
the end. 1t puts principles of set
tied government out of sight, and
runs violently after all forms Of
radical expedients. Out of it dem
agagueS nope to come WIN OFFICES
and without regard to the effect of
the movement on the social system.
Their misguided followers have dis
appointment in store, and disap-
pointment only. But what is the
disappointment Of the people to a
demagogue when he has secured the
objects of his ambition by mtslead-
ing them? Gffu
If the country can be kept steady
for a brief period, the danger will
have passed. The Northwest
become less adventurous in its po-
litical and religious habits before
long. Men VIII have had time to
consider; and their sober, second
thought will lead them to put away
many wild notions that appear very
plausible today. Principles will be-
gin to count for more and money

The time has come for the South to
render to the nation a service scarce
" less important than that which
she rendered when Washington led
the republic to independence and Mad
ison framed it's constitution. The
Southern people should lay to heart
the opportunity and duty of the
hour.
Radicalism threatens the founda-
lions of civil society, and much of
this radicalism has arisen in the
West-the Northwest In the main. The
situation which has come to pass has
been foreseen and predicted by far
seeing men years ago. AS far back
as 1885 DIR. Josiah Strong published
the book entitled "Our Country, in
which he devoted a chapter to West
ern Supremacy" and set forth other
perils.
The population of the Northwest
is largely a mixed multitude, in which
are commingled, as in a great smelt-
ing pot, men of all races, nations,
kindreds and tongues. They have gone
thither in search of gold. allured by
the vast material resources of that
wonderful region. In this particular
they are wholly different from the
pilgrims who settled the first thir-
teen Colonies. and whose children set
up the republic. Our Colonial fathers
came to the New World for reasons of
conscience and religion; but our West
ern brothers have sought the region
which they inhabit in order to get
rich. In no part of the cuntry is
Mammonism more rank and religion
more feeble. BY consequence radical
ism of every sort flourishes there
political radicalism and religious rad
icalism. And now at last all the
territories have become states, each
having two senator's in the Federal
Congress and having electoral votes
that are counted in choosing the presi-
dent Of me Republic
In the mean time the great cities
of the North and East have been fill
ed up with immigrants from every
land, not unlike the same sort Of set
tiers in the Northwest. They have
put behind them their homes in other
lands, have cut loose from all the So
cial restraints by which they were for
merly surrounded, and have set
out in the New World with
no motive in their breasts
so strong as they desire, to get gains
In the case of many thousands of
them they have come from their ma
tive lands with a grudge against the
government under which they were
born and brought up, and this grudge
they have transferred to the political
organization under which they have
come to live. Many of them have one
principle in their platform beside the
unwearying desire of getting money,
and that principle is I'VE are against
the government. 1t is not a mean
ingless accident that since the close
of the civil war and In times of pro-
found peace, two OF our presidents
have been assassinated by men Of
foreign birth and unpronouncible
names.
But in the great cities of the
north and in the young states of the

Our Call to a Great Service on Behalf of the Nation
By Bishop W. 4. Gambler

will count for less. Then the great
West will be as safe anu sane as
any part of our country. 1t will
cling with the utmost tenacity to
our established principles Of gov
eminent and it will turn away from
the demagogues who now try to use
it to further their vaulting ambi-
tions.
But during this transition period
the South must stand as a ralIying
center for the conservative men of
all sections to gather about Hereby
1T will preserve the political insti-
buttons which Southern statesmen
set up more than a hundred years
ago and under which our nation has
had such a wonderful development.
Our people owe it to both the past
and the future to render this serv-
ice in the present. If they fail to
measure up to their full duty and
opportunity in this critical period
Of our national history, they will
deserve the reprobatfon of both their
ancestors and their posterity. For
such a time as this the conserva-
tlsm Of the South is the hope of
the Republic.
But social and political steadiness
rest on moral and religious founda-
tons. If religious convictions crumble
everything else will totter and fall.
1t is to be hoped. therefore, that the
religious teachers of the south will
call the people to maintain the faith
of our fathers unimpaired and uncom-
promised. Those who have gone be-
fore us did not follow cunningly-de-
vised fables in the exalted lives which
lad Oh, .&e OF
rooted in ignorance and superstition.
They dealt with the true and living
God in their daily walk and conversa-
ton, and His blessing was upon them
establishing the work of their hands.
Their God is ours, and our relations
to Him are governed by the same un-
changing principles which controlled
their relations to Him-the eternal
principles that determine the relations
of all loyal souls to God.
Let this year of grace be signalized
in the south by general revival of
old-fashioned religion and old-fash-
toned patriotism. We want the Chris
tan Sabbath which we have always
had,-no continental nonsense and pro-
family We wish to hear expounded the
Bible whose teachings guided to
safe end the earthly pilgrimages of
our sainted fathers and mothers. We
desire the conversion of souls by the
regenerating power of the Holy Spirit.
We yearn for houses of worship, not
halls of Sunday amusement.
If our faith fail not, we shall bless
our fellow-citizens of all other sec
tions of the country, and to the last
generation. But if radicalism sweeps
away our cherished institutions, who
can forecast our future? Emerson
said, "Our whole history appears like
a last effort of the divine Providence
in behalf of the human race" If our
great republic should fail, who will
dare hope for free government again
in the world?
1t must not fail, and the south must
have a great part in preserving 1t.
