NEWSPAPE RlNG

Bryan Eagle: The Eagle is proud Of
its record made in gathering and pub
fishing the returns of the primary.
Neither time, expense nor hard work
were spared in doing 1t. We also rejoice
in the fact that our efforts were ap-
prceiated. as evidenced by the many
Expressions of commentator that
have come to us from the people.
Neither. time, expense nor hard
work can be spared in gathering the
news for a daily paper. To think
quickly. to spend freely and to work
long hours under stress is the com
mon lot of newspaper men when there
is big assignment under way. But
it is not a depressing work. There are
compensations, for the newspaper
business is replete with living interest
from day to day. The monotony is not
of duration to become deadly, as in
some callings, and the drudgery is
often lightened by Incidents which
bear the germs of vivid interest,"
State Topics.

OBJECT LESSON oFA+s WAR.

Since the question has been under
discussion OF prohibiting by law the
dealing In cotton futures, there
has been a division OF opinion as TO,
the benefits OF such law. The pro.
ponents OF the law claiming II would
benefit the cotton grower by removing
from cotton the element OF speculation.
Those who oppose the law, claiming IL
would remove the only boosting influ-
ince now entering into the making OF
cotton prices.
The stock markets and cotton ex-
changes of the world are now closed
because OF the war and state OF chaos
prevails as to prices. The Galveston
News In an editorial shows how pres
ent conditions are absolutely ruinous
as to stocks, bonds and other securl-
Ties, and In speaking OF cotton and

This is true Also and perhaps I'm
equal degree, as TO the speculative
markets for commodities, such as
wheat and corn and oats and cotton.
II will be much more difficult to sell
these commodities than II Is when the
speculative markets are open, and Il is
the seller rather than the buyer who
will have TO pay the price OF the doubt
and apprehension that exists because
OF the absence OF quotations resulting
from a worldwide opinion as to their
value. Purchasers will insist on insur-
Ing themselves against the unseen, and
they viii insur themselves by insist
ing on price less than they guess TO
be the value OF what is offered to them.
There Is pretty widespread notion
that the effect OF speculative trading
on exchanges is TO bring about tho
rule OF fictitious prices. in the sense
that the prices do not measure the re-
lation between supply and demand. Not
only that, but there is a large amount
OF people who sincerely believe that
the effect OF speculative trading is to
make the ruling price less than the ac-
tual value of the thing dealt in. II
the stock and commodity rR kets re-
main closed for any considerable
time we shall have ample means for
discovering how fallacious those pop
ular notions are"
