Congress is about ready to pull up
stakes, but it may be that the Pres
ident will summon "the boys" back to
Washington after election. 1t is
known that the President wants to
put the finishing touches on his "pol-
ieies" and to so arrange legislation
| that on March "a, next, he will be able
to say to the legislators that they may

Der. Congress has been in almost con-
tinuous session for almost six years,
and when the administrative program
is completed, Mr.. Wilson believes it
will be time to give the Country.
One frequently hears comments to
the effect that the highest officials of
the government, and notably those of
the two Houses of Congress, are poor
ly dressed.
"When / first visited Washington,
at the time of the civil war, / noticed
that every one Of the Senators was
dressed in 8 conventional and very
dignifed manner. There were two or
three who wore sWallowtail coats, and
remember seeing venerable gentle
man sitting upon a bench at the rear
of the Senate chamber, who, pre-
sumed, was a former Senator, who
were blue broadcloth swallowtail
coat surmounted by a heavy velvet col
lar and adorned by brilliant brass but
tons upon each side of the front of
the coat as we'll as over the tails"
writes DR.. E. ]. Edwards.
at is said that Roscoe Conkling was
the first to ignore the sartorial tradi-
tons of the United States Senate, be-
ing courageous enough to appear up
on the floor of the Senate in bust
ness or street dress. From some things
that ] have heard l believe that some
Of the older Senators looked sad with
sad, regretful eyes upon this viola
ton of the precedents. You may
have observed two or three Senators
in swollowtail coats. If you did, you
may feel certain that they had been
attending session of the United
States Supreme Court, for there it is
deemed the proper thing to appear be-
fore the judges in evening dress"
Washington became excited and
alarmed because of the activity shown
in the antitrust legislation. No one
said anything about it however, until
the pressure let up for changes in the.
bill. After that a number of Senators
including Nelson of Minnesota, Borah
of Idaho, and Reed of Missouri, dis

OPERATIONS OF GOLD
POOL ARE REFLECTED
Influence on Foreign Exchange is
Notable-Cables Open at 4.95H
With Demand Bills Lower.

New York, Oct. 10-Operatoins by
the s100,OOO,0O0 gold pool exercised
considerable influence on the foreign
exchange market today. Cables open
ed as low as 4.95%, with demand bills
a cent under that quotation, but the
unusually large inquiry soon caused a
fractional advance.
Further subscriptions to the fund
from interior banks were reported
and it is believed that the pool will
soon have in hand not less than 25
per cent of the entire amount pledged.
A considerable part of the exchange
gold was for the cotton bills, recent
heavy shipments of that staple being
reflected in these documents.
The several committees which are
supervising private sales of securities
were more active as a result of a
broader demand for high-class bonds
and stocks. Individual investors sup
piled the bulk of the business, but in
terror corporations also were in the
market.
Contrary to recent advices from
London, where weak market for the
stock was reported, sales of Canadian
Pacific were effected here at 155,
which is equal to the July 80 closing
price, less the quarterly dividend OF
21a per cent, since declared. Dealings
in other stocks of the same class,
without concessions, were reported.
Unfavorable reports dealing with
conditions in the steel trade were
again current, and these, together
with the state of the copper industry,
furnished the only disquieting news
of the day. 1t was said that numer-
Gus orders for finished steel had been
Cancelled an dthat new specifications
were lower than before.
One of the minor companies oper-
ating in the Michigan iron ore center
announced 10 per cent cut in wages,
and while no definite steps of like
character have been taken by the
larger manufacturers, it is predicted
that the prevailing depression must
soon result in liquidation of labor.
That crops are being rushed to mar
ket is evidenced in the enormous
grain receipts at Chicago, which are
far in excess of last week, and over
Sc ,90D, 900 bushels greater than in the
same week of last year.
The Cape weekly tribune. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1914, 1914-10-11

cussed on the floor Of the Senate the
absence of the gentlemen who had
been interesting themselves in the
bill, and they advised caution because
of the fact that the lobby had appar-
emily ceaserd its efforts. Only the
shadow of the evil monster remained;
therefore, the lawmakers were afraid
that something was wrong.
Elaborate preparations were made
for a new issue Of special pc
stamps to commemorate century of
peace between theUnited States and
Great Britain. The Postmaster Gen
eral says the issue of these stamps
just now is injudicious. Others might
regard them as ludicrous. England
Is likely to make a poor fist of it in
coming over here this year to cele-
brate peace.
The foreign trade is depended upon
very largely by apple growers, and
since the shipments have been very
largely cut off the dealers have form
ed a Observation-Disclosures move
ment. 1t is patterned after the Buy-a-
Bale-of- Cotton slogan, and the theory
is that apples won't keep, while cot
ton can be held over for another sea-
son.
Secretary Houston, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, says that the So
luton of the Southern planters trobles
rest with themselves, and that they
should grow root crops as the only
profitable solution of the situation
next year. Mr.. Houston declares that
while the government has done all
that it could to finance the cotton sit
uation that "Under the law the Gov
eminent cannot play favorites, even
at a time like this" He continues,
eve cannot decree that the price of
cotton shall be twelve cents pound,
because the growers of the staple
think it worth that much, any more
than We can say that corn shall be
worth dollar a bushel or wheat dol
lar and a half bushel because the
farmers want that much for their
products, or that lumber shall be
worth fifty dollars thousand feet or
peanuts fifty cents peck" The South
has been advised for long time to go
into meat raising business because all
the conditions are favorable, but the
planters seem to have got into a rut.
While they are suffering from the con-
ditions that have depressed their
prices, yet the results may eventually
be for the benefit of the Southland.

news FROM THE CAPITAL
By ]. E. Jones.

Washington, Oct. 10-Col. George
Harvey, formerly of Harper's Weekly,
was the original Woodrow Wilson
booster, and he and Marse Henry Pat
terson spilled buckets of ink to dem
onstrate that Woodrow Wilson should
be President of the United States. Mr..
Wilson thought that the two gentle
men were boosting for Wall Street,
and he threw them over. Now they
have been received back into the fold
and harmony has been restored to the
White House. The President has also
declared his support for Governor
Glynn of New York, and Roger Sui
hvan OF Illinois, and ne has also plac-
ed his o. z. upon the Candidacy OF a
number of Senators who are up for
reelection. Senator 2ristow OF Kan
sas has made remarks that would in
dictate that he was fearful that Pres
ident Wilson had become the tool of
sinister influences. There has not
been an administrator for half cen
try that is so abjectly subservient to
the Wall Street influences as this one,"
said Mr.. Bristow. But somebody al
ways says that about every admins
tration.
Undoubtedly the country will wish
the Pacific Utilities Commission Of
Washington success in its attempts to
regulate the almost unbearable condi-
tons that exist in the street car SER
vice at the National Capital. Natural
ly, it would be expected that at the
seat of government the troublesome
features of local transit would be solv-
ed, but as matter Of fact, it is doubt
full whether there is a city in the en-
tire country that has more criss-cross-
ing of the lines of the different COM
panies than Washington, where every
device known to clever corporations is
restored to in order to get an extra
fare. There is even talk of govern
ment ownership Of the street car lines
in order to avoid the annoyances that
the public are subjected to. 1t seems
just as easy for the street railway
magnates to manipulate the town
where the government has its head
quarters as any other place.
Everyone likes frankneSs in public
officials, therefore, the comment OF
president Marshall on the nine
teenth anniversary Of his marriage
ought to meet with public approval.

ABOUT THE ROAD BONDS.

The proposition OF voting bonds in
the sum Of 100000 for the pur-
pose Of improving the roaos Of Sour
ry County is now square ip to the
people. the Commissioners Court
having ordered such an election last
Monday upon petition OF more than
500 voters OF the county.
The Signal Is for the proposition
because we bellve II is the best. the
most practical and really the only
sensible way OF getting better roads
in scurry county.
That we need better roads is evil
dent to all. and that they would add
greatly to the comfort, the conven-
fence. the profit and to the pleasure
Of the citizenship Of the county, goes
without saying Good roads will put
markets. schools, churches and
nelghbors closer together: besides.
they will add their worth In cost

In fact It would be hard to estimate
and enumerate all the advantages
good roads would bring TO this com
munlty at this time.
Now. as 10 the cost Of the propo-
sltou. " the cost Of these good roads
we hope to get was 10 be In addition
to the taxes we are now paying We
would still be for the bond issue, but

as high as the law will permit. This
fact can be asoerialned by any per

informed that. With the possible eH-
ception Of the year 1919 the road

are familiar with the condition Of
