FIGHTING FOR SOUTH.

Arkansas has reason to fell proud of the corps of representatives it has in the national fegisla ure. Their ability has been recognized in com mittee appointments and legislative matters. It is becoming quite com mon thing to read of an Arkansas senator presiding in the senate ana of an Arkansas representative serv- ing in the speakers chair of the house.
 The Arkansas delegation has been prcminent in the movement to have congress enact a measure to relive the cotton situation, and Senator Clarke helped draft the bill, which will be offered as an amendment to the war tax bill, providing for the purchase by the government of 5,OOO,- 900 bales of cotton with bonds oi small denomination. Indications are favorable for the passage of the cot ton relief bill, as Republican mem bers arc said to be inclined to sup port the plan.
 This indicates tho success of a movement referred to by Congress. man Sam Taylor in a letter to The Graphic under date of October ID when he stated "Our Southern mem bers are making strenuous efforts te get .,iue aid of Northern, Eastern and Western members to join with us In securing some legislation that vii protect, as far as possible, the cot. ton growers of the South.'
 The government could well afford to use it's credit to retire 5,OOO,OO( bales of cotton at 10 cents pound and under the present Llan its credi would be- the only thing loaned the South. Besides being an act tha wlould benefit the entire nation, tht acquisition by the government of 5, 000,00O bales at 10 cents per pound would be good stroke of business Fer, with the movement to reduce th' cotton acreage; the increased use o cotton and tn prospect of tax or every bale grown in 1917. 1918 ant 1919, as provided for in the relic bill, Uncle Sam could unload his cot ton in wear e,i more at q big profit

Des Moines. Jan. 1.-The warmest
December in the history of the Iowa
division of the United States weather
bureau concluded with the old year
last night. The mean temperature of
the month secured from data COM
piled by r. S. Slippy, voluntary OBJ
server, is 80 degrees or degrees above
normal. While the maximum temper
allure of SO degrees touched on the Sd
and 18th has been surpassed by few
degrees during Decembers Of other
years. the low mark Of II above on the
2Sth is the highest minimum recorded
days are usually frequent.
The total precipitation was 1 inch
mostly in the form of rain during the
first ten days. The opening week was
cloudy or foggy with a persistent high
temperature. From the eth TO the gath
fifteen days Of continuous sunshine
was experienced. There were no snow
storms, cold waves or high winds, the
month being the most equable and
mild ever known.
a review Of Weather records for the
year showed that 1913 was degrees
warmer than normal with four inches
less rainfall. The aggregate of daily
excess temperature was over 1000 de-
grees. The winter months were warmer

AssA,Ls KEokUK DAM COMPANY.
Rainey Asserts Project Has Failed to
Cut Power Rates.

Washington. Jan. Legislation CIV
ing congress power to control the rates
charged consumers Of hydro electric
power which is generated by compan-
les enjoying water power grants from
the government is to be vigorously
pushed at this session.
Representative Rainey of Illinois
is ready to give to the house the re-
suits Of his Investigations Of the oper-
alton of a dam across the Mississippi
river under q franchise given to the
Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power
Company under the Roos ,velt admin
istration. A resolution introduced by
Mr.. Rainey calling for a congressional
investigation Of this power company is
pending before the house committee on
rules.
1.-THE purpose Of the franchise given
this company" said Mr.. Rainey. was
to assist navigation in the river and to
give consumers of electricity cheaper
rates. In both respects the company
has failed. Navigation below the dam
has suffered. The company Ii engaged
in buying up municipal power plants
thruout the district and in not single
instance have rates for electricity been
lowered"

New York, Jan. 1.-Railroad fare

must expect to visit only the best
hotels as well.
1.-THE Giants, always fighting for the
lead, and with the prestige Of having
won. two successive pennants, failed to
make any money on any Of their west
ern trips last season. What can you
expect of the F'ederals in Chicago and
ct. Louis when the Giants could not
make money in those two cities COM

feel that it is a mistake TO ignore this
! condition, but rather that it should be
studied and Its reason sought for.
In an editorial headed Canada
Losing Citizens" the Grain Growers
Guide. farm paper published at Win
nipeg, Manitoba. among other com
ments says: That there should be
a large immigration to Canada from
the United States is only natural. Can
ada is a comparatively new country
rich in natural resources. with fertile
soil and immense areas Of undevel-
cped land. and while the settlers are
coming from Europe by hundreds of
thousands every year. it would be sur
prising indeed If the enterprising peo-
pie OF the republic lying alongside our
southern border did not join in the
invasion.
1t is not surprising. therefore, to
find a large immigration from the
United States to Canada. and while
the United States authorities are
exerting themselves to keep their
people at home, they recognize never
theless that the movement from the
American northwest to Canada is only
a continuation of the movement Of
population from the older settled por-
tons of the United States to Mime
sofa. the pakotas and other north
western states.
Moving From New Country to Old.
A large movement from Canada to
the states. however, is a totally differ
ent thing. 1t is not natural and we
doubt if any precedent can be found
for such condition: that there should
be large migration from a new coun-
try richly endowed by nature, a coun-
try possessing wide areas of fertile
virgin soil and which proves its agri-
cultural capabilities anew at every In
ternational exposition, to an older
more settled country with less natural
advantages and where the best OPP
portunities are already taken up. The
United States immigration authorities
declare that 1858 persons, residents
of Canada. left this country to settle
permanently in the United States in
the year ending June goth. last II
that be untrue it is the duty OF the
Canadian government to make a de-
NAL and furnish the most complete
proof. If it be true. then a most ser
:ous condition is disclosed. If there Is a
large migration of Canadians, Euro
pean immigrants and former Ameri-
cans from Canada 10 the states, we
should know why they are discon
tented with their Canadian homes.
Canada is all right, the best country
under the sun. But economic and in
dustrial conditions brought about by
grasping interests which have in
fuenced legislation and secured for
themselves special privileges to exploit
the people are not all right Is it pos
sible that the greed of the Canadian
plutocracy, the misused power of the
triple alliance Is driving the Canadian
people to seek relief in the United
States? +et'-5s

his proposed dash across the great
body Of land between South America
and the south pole, yesterday We're
sent to London newspapers by officers
Of the Peary Arctic Club, the American
Geographical Society and the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. The
regret was expressed that American
explorers had made no plan for sucn
an expedition.
THE work to be done on the big
continent south of South America is
the most important test ahead for our
explorers" Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard,
president Of the Peary Arctic Club,
said. NO other prize remaining has
possibilities to compare with this one.
Here we have a vast continent to con-
slider and only few miles of its coast
line are known
Much Of the continent lies nearer
South America than to any other
country. Our nation should be the one
to explore that continent and 1 do not
understand why there is SO little in
terest.'
