THE COTTON MARKET.

Cotton futures touched a higher
point last Saturday than they have
reached for some weeks, if not
months. There seems to be a good
deal of exporting, especially to Eng,
land ; and German and Austrian au-
thorities have expressed a desire to
get three million bales, if the United
States can land them without seizure.
If cotton is not contraband, it would
seem that, barring mines, there is no
reason why the cotton may not be
delivered. If the North Sea is too
dangerous because of mines, this
country could ship to Italy, a neutral
government, and thence into Aus
tria and Germany.
A normal price for this crop would
have been about eleven cents. 1t
should bring nine cents even under
present conditions, and if gradual
marketing is continued as heretofore,
it will bring even better prices after
Christmas, it may be as late as the
Spring. One thing is certain, if at
any time since the opening of the
market the farmers had dumped
their cotton on the market, it would
have been practically valueless now.
Even present prices can be sustained
only by gradual marketing.
One of the largest crops this coun-
try has produced in the last decade,
brought an average of over eleven
cents for the season, purely as a re-
suit of gradual marketing. But the
farmer who is storing his cotton un-
der a tree has a misconception OF
what holding cotton means. He is
depressing the market with low
grades. Cotton held after Christmas
should be warehoused.

CHRISTMAS.

The season of the holly and the
merry laugh of young people is at
hand. .
Christmas with all that it means
to eXpectant childhood to the youth
full, whose ruddy faces r yet un-
scanned by care; to those who for a
little while may shelve their bur-
dens in the memory of bygone days,
freshened by the joyous shouts of a
younger generation-the Christmas
of Santa Claus, that pretty fiction of
the Christian era, is returned again.
The bullying stocking of toys and
good things to eat the exchange of
presents between friends of all ages;
the social round of dinner, song and
dance-these are all the outgrowth of
a religious observance, that in the
earlier Christian era was intended to
celebrate the coming of the Saviour
of the world.
1t is not improper then that, with
in reasonable bounds the human
heart should be renewed and should
overflow with gladness with each re-
currence of this season. 1t typifes
the freedom Of Christianity with all
that means as contrasted with the
cruelty and darkness of paganism.
1t finds expression in that supreme
development of the human mind
that has unlocked the secrets of ma
ture, so that the nations of the earth
may whisper to the winds and con-
verse from continent to continent.
The birth of Christianity marked a
new era in the social rights of man.
1t struck the letters from the human
mind, wiping away all boundaries to
it's attainment. But has it softened
the human heart? Has it quenched
the fires of hate and jealousy, that
from the dawn of time have burned
in the human breast? While man
has grownwiser, has he really grown
better? What irony, that at this
very Christmas, the armies o
two-thirds the socalled Christian
world are locked in deadly combat,
drenching the earth in blood, and
leaving in their wake, the poor, the
helpless, the aged, to sicken and die
a prey to CHASTITY famine. Alas!
that it may still be said even in the
light of the nineteenth century:

PROHIBITION Vote IS
PUT OFF until JULY |.
Worried Over Reports of Steam

HOBSON HAS NO DIRECTIONS

Worried by ugly criticisms OF Presi-
dent Wilson's alleged interference" in
the matter, the House Committee on
Rules yesterday deferred until July 1.
vote on a special rule providing for
consideration OF the Hobson prohibition
amendment. An effort was made yester-
day to create the impression that the ad-
ministration had nothing to do with the
abrupt decision reached on Tuesday to
bring up the prohibition amendment for
a vote in the House. but the fact re-
mains that at least one member OF the
Presidents Cabinet has been active in
the conferences which resulted in the
decision to push the proposition to a
vote.
On July 1. the Rules Committee will
report a special rule on the prohibition
amendment in accordance with what are
known to be the views Of administra-
ton leaders that the party as a whole
would lose more by preventing than per-
mitting a vote on prohibition at this
time.
Spokesman OF the administration de-
clare that the President will keep hands
on On the other hand Postmaster
General Burleson is insistent that IL is
the wise thing for the leaders to permit
a vote on the amendment Such advo-
Gates of prohibition in the House as
Representative Hobson, of Alabama. are
perfectly willing that a vote shall De
postponed.
Representative Hobson. the author Of
the pending amendment. has stated with
in the last twenty-four hours. that the
liquor interests were trying to force
a vote. knowing that they are now in a
position TO defeat the proposed consti-
tUtional reform. Mr.. Hobson informed
the committee that he was willing TO
vote. but he made no militant demand
that special rule be reported
A number of Representatives conferred
with the President on prohibition yester-
day
The reason given by Chairman Henry.
of the Rules Committee. for deferring
vote on the special rule was that the
calendars are now crowded with husi-
ness. and that 1t would not be practi-
cable to vote on prohibition before the
first week in July.
Representative Cantrill. of Kentucky.
who introduced the rule providing for
the consideration Of the prohibition
issued a statement last
night in which he said:

Whether the Washington and Rock

It was the contention of Mr.. Bowen that
the rate to Somerset is lower. consider

In answer to this argument, Mr.. Daish
said that the people of Somerset had
moved TO and built homes in Somerset
with the understanding that they would
have to pay but single fare to and
from Washington. The people of Somer-
set. he said, had been assured by
former head of the Washington and
