tariff. Everybody knew that this would be done. Then, if the reduction of the tariff could have had any such effect on cotton, does not any sane man know that it would have imme diately declined? Instead of that 1t be- gan at once to rise. The Underwood bill became a law on october 3, 1913, and yet all through that year and 1914, until this war was declared, cotton brought a good price.
 "This shows the absurdity of the contention of those who would de- ceive the people with such sophistry.
 When Cotton Went Down
 'Those who advance such arguments are not fair enough to remind the peo- pie that in the falls of 1904 and 1907 cotton went to ' cents per pound. If the farmers will refer to their cotton bills, they will see that this Is true, and that under the full force of the Dingley high protective tariff bill.
 ''No republican then loved the south well enough to propose any measure that would save the southern cotton grower. How different now When the European war has utterly destroyed our market, the members of Congress from the south are crying aloud fSr Congress to come to the rescue of our southern farmers. Many meetings have been held by the members from the cotton states to try to evolve some plan by which our people may be en- abled to escape the destruction which hangs over them. I do not question the sincerity of gentlemen who be- lieve that Congress has no right to pass laws to aid the distressed cotton growers by direct aid, but do insist that they are wrong. Often we have gone to the rescue of those who are in dire distress. When San Francisco was overwhelmed by an earthquake we did not haggle over our constitutional right to go to her relief. When the rivers in Ohio had overflowed their banks and destroyed towns and farms, no one questioned the right of Congress to give them direct aid.
 When the little town of Salem Mass, fell before the fire fiend, our President sent a special message ask ing Congress to go to their relief and no one then interposed the consti- tuition against that bill. Many more instances of a like kind l might cite, but will desist.
 q do not doubt the right of Con- gress to give relief to the southern farmer in some way like that pre- scribed in the Henry bill, and, as for myself, I shall vote against any reso- luton to adjourn until something like that is passed. I may be voted down. and adjournment may be had without relief to our stricken south, but as for me, I intend to stay here and vote against adjournment until the speak CTS gavel falls.
 "Republican speakers are in my dis trict trying to compass my defeat, but my post of duty is here, and here Will I stay till a majority votes me down. I will trust to God and my people to take care of me. as they have so often dope

before a meeting of Scandinavian

further:
The Norwegians at present are set

such enormous sacrifices. The free

besides a free gift. 1t meant enormous
sacrifices both by men and women. to

recommended that WI should make

settlements are kept up. 1t is possible
for them to maintain their churches

Of such as wish to move, so thai the

"Commercialized Prayer" nle-
gal Court Holds-Another
Justice Dissents.

New York. July 13.-Commercialized
use Of Christian Science teaching was
held by the appellate division Of the
supreme court to be illegal.
The conviction in a lower court OF
Willis Vernon Cole, for practicine
medicine without a license, when he
accepted fees for Christian Science
treatment, was sustained. The higher
courts, in Its opinion, nswered in the
negative. its premise:
rs the commercialized use OF prayer
for the avOwed purpose OF treating all
persons seeking cure for all kinds OF
bodily ills the practice of the religious
tenets Of a church?"
Cole. formerly a sculptor and poet,
testified at his trial that his practice
brought him an annual income of
$4,000; that he had never studied medi-
cine; that he never solicited fees but
accepted those offered him.
Clifford S. Smith. Of the committee
on publication of the Christian Science
church, issued a statement later de-
claring that the practice OF Christian
Science differed from the practice of
medicine and that 1t could not "be made
the same by law"
1t was announced that in all prob
appeal probably will be based upon q
opinion rendered by Justice
bowling, saying that if Cole INDUCED
simply in silent prayer with his pa
tfcllt, there was nothing unlawful in the
oct, as by SO doing Cole might honestly
believe was assisting the cure of the
alleged patient by placing his patients
