view of certain disclosures from
official sources concerning our
preparedness or rather, un-
preparedness-to resist an at

Scientific American says furth-
er, that war in these times comes
suddenly and swift, but that a
fighting force could not be or
ganized, equipped, and trained
to efficiency within q year, or
more probably two years; and
while we were thus employed in
getting an army ready to repel
invasion the invader would enter
almost unhindered. We could
get the men quickly, millions of
them; but unorganized, untrain-
ed, without even arms or amunl-
ton they would be useless.
When war will come we do not
know, it may come any time in
these days when the god of war
is ascendant, and how would we

Every once in a while someone
jumps into the arena of public
discussion with the argument
that human nature. cannot be
changed by statutory enactment,
and for that reason laws intend
ed to regulate social conditions
which are the effect of human
meanness or the natural passions
and frailties of mankind are
useless. Such things can only
be bettered, they say, by leaving
moral and social reform in the
individual entirely to the con.
science of that individual him
self, as it is censured and influ
enced by the divine spirit he is
said to possess. Nothing could
be farther from the truth; for,
if it were true, we might as well
deny the story of civilization
burn the statute books and re.
turn to the primitive. al laws
are the outgrowth of ttH desire
of the people as a whole % check
individual license. That the
moral conscience of individuals is
the true underlying influence
that guides US in our social re-
forms cannot be doubted, but
withoutc concentrating this desire
into rules for the regulation Of
all society and make those rules
mandatory upon the individual,
society would be helpless and
each man a law unto him self, as
his conscience dictated. That
the enforcement of these rules
in long-continued process affect
the natural tendencies of thought
in man and change his nature,
in varying degree, in proper
tion to his natural intelligence,
is admitted by all who have
made a study of the upward
progress of the human race.
The constant thought that tran
gressions of the rules of society
framed into law are wrong and
hold the threat of personal pun
ishment to the transgressor
finally has it's influence upor the
ethical conduct of the individual.
The nature of man changes
with his way of thinking, and
his way of thinking is Influenced
by the enforcement of rules laid
down for the guidance of his
conduct as it bears in relation 10
the welfare of society. No doubt
every law that was ever enacted
was at first decried as "sumptu.
ry" and an attempt of vision
ary" and fanatic" reformers to
change human nature by statu-
tory enactment, yet we have
these laws and they have chang
ed human nature to the extent
the the world is fairly decent
abiding place, one that is improv-
ing and becoming still more de-
cent with each new law that lays
retraint upon individual license
and reframes human nature by
making men think that the rights
of society are higher and purer
in their moral aspect than the
rights of any individual whose
human nature" can't or won't
be reformed, except as he re-
forms it himself under the in
spiration of the divinity within
him.

SANCTIONED CARRYING
 SWAGGER STICKS

Washington, Nov. 27.-Major Gen. eral Commandant George Barnett of the United States Marine Corps has sanctioned the carrying of swagger sticks by marines when ashore in uni form, or out of garrison. The idea is borrowed from Cousin "Tomy Atkins" of the British army, and it is thought that the carrying of the sticks will add distinction to the Marines already attractive uniform. The swagger sticks are made from various kinds of wood and are usually "A or 26 inches long. Chinese bullets are some times used for ferrules and foreign coins for the heads.
 The Marine is much travelled man and is quick to pick up any ideas of foreign services which will add in any way to his already natty military ap- pearance.

Indications Are That He Will Probably Be Chosen to Succeed Himself.-NO One Mentioned As Opposing Him.

Washington, Nov. 26. - Senator James P Clarke of Arkansas will in all probability again be named as president pro tempore of the Senate when the conference of Democratic senators is held here next Monday.

He will arrange for Mondays conference, at which will be considered Senate reor- ganization, the candidate for president pro tempore and committee assign ments. Senator Clarke was president pro tempore in the last session and the name of no one has been mention ed as likely to oppose him.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Increased Strength and Activity
 And S4.25 Higher Above Low est for Month. Governments Estimate of Crop on Dee. 10.

New York, Nov. 26.-The cotton market has shown increased strength and activity during the past week with prices selling about $4.25 bale above the low level of the month on cover ing and renewal of bull support. This advance has accompanied reports of an improved spot demand in the South and probably has been promot- ed by tendency to modify opinions both as to the expert outlet and the size of the crop.
 When prices were declining here earlier in the month, crop estimates were in circulation ranging up from about 12,500,000 to 12,890,0O0 bales, including linters, while the small val ume of clearances and the absence of any important fresh buying for export account, combined with high freight rates and the unsettled situation with reference to foreign takings. More recently, however, private crop esti- mates have been running smaller with reports isued today, indicating a crop of between 11,5O0,0OO and 12,0OO, ,OOO bales, including linters, while the rel atively firmer ruling in Liverpool and reports of a more active China demand in Manchester have been factors on the advance.
 The governments estimate of the crop will not be issued until December 10 and in the meantime ginning re- turns to December 1 will become available, but the more recent private estimates have been considered in line with the amount of cotton ginned to November II, which has had tenden cy to strengthen local expectations that official crop figures will indicate growth of around or under II 100000 bales, excluding linters. Continued activity in the domestic goods market has also encouraged the advance while the prompt stopping of December mo- tices and large spot sales in Liverpool over the local holiday were partly re- sponsible for today's sharp upturn. Some, however, have attributed the appearance of an improvement in the spot demand to the filling out of end month engagements and it was re- ported that today's advance above 12 cents for January met some scattered Southern hedge selling as well as req lizing. The reported scarcity of effec- tive fertilizer has been more empha- sized during the week and has been reflected in a somewhat more active demand for early new crop deliveries.

STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC
 COAST DRAINAGE BASINS

The measurement of streams was begun by the United States Geological Survey in 1888 in connection with spec ial studies of water for irrigation, and since 1895 the appropriations by Con gress for the Survey have each year included an item for gazing the streams of the country. Measure ments of flow have been made at about 5000 points in the United States and at many points in small areas in Seward Peninsula and the Yukon Panama region Alsaka, as well as in the Hawaiian Islands. In this work many private and State organizations have cooperated, either by furnish ing data or financial assistance. In July. 1913, about 1880 gazing sta tions were being maintained by the Survey and the cooperating organlza- tions, and many measurements of dis charge were made at other points.
 A report on the North Atlantic coast basins, just issued, represents the results of cooperative work be- tween the Federal Survey and the States of Maine, Vermont, Massachu- setts, and New York in 1913. It gives the results of investigations of the streams that enter the Atlantic from St. Croix River, Maine, to Rappahan- nook River, Va, which discharges into the lower end of Chesapeake Bay, and includes also the measurements of flow of St. John River, which reaches the ocean through the province of New Brunswick. The records include des- criptions of the stations at which the measurements were made and tables of gage heights and daily and monthly discharge.

WATSON JURY IS COM.
 PLETE AT AUGUSTA
Is Charged by Indictment with Having Violated Postal Laws by Sending Alleged Obscene Matter through the Mails.

Augusta, Ga, Nov. 26.-Selection of jury to try Thomas F. Watson, edi- Sor and published of Thomson, Ga, on the charge of sending obscene mat lter through the mails, was completed in federal court here today and the | first witness was on the stand when court adjourned until tomorrow. Wat son, who as a member of the Georgia
 bar, acted as his own chief counsel, previously had demurred to the indict- ment but had been over-ruled.
 Some fifty men were examined be- fore the jury was completed. In outlining the governments case, Unit
 ed States District Attorney E. N. Donaldson, asserted that it only was necessary to prove that Watson was
 responsible for mailing the matter objected to and that it was obscene las charged in the indictment.
 Watson, outlining the defense, took the view that his paper in publishing the article, should be taken into con- sideration. He declared his purpose was fighting as he had been for seven years, the fight that Luther, John Knox and others made against the Catholic church.
 The articles on which the indict- ment were based were published in connection with Watson attack on the Catholic church. No ruling had been made when court adjourned on Wat sons plea that his publishing the ar ticles should be considered.

EFFORT MADE TO WIN
 OVER PRES. WILSON
Plan Contemplates Calling of a Conference of Neutral Nations to Initiate Measures for the Restoration of Peace.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Efforts to win President Wilson's support for conference of neutrals to initiate peace proposals in Europe reached a climax today when Madame Posika Schwim- mer, of Hungary and Mrs. Ethel Snowden, wife of a member of the British Parliment called at the white house with personal appeal and word that they had definite information that the majority of the belligerent nations would not turn deaf ears to suggestions from neutral gatherings.
 The women talked with the presi- dent for more than half an hour and went away much pleased over their reception, though the Prsident made no promises. About 400 peace advo- cates from a mass meeting at local theatre accompanied the presidents callers.
 The president was urged to initiate a peace conference or at least to sig nifty that he would appoint a delegate from the United States if another neutral nation called one. Madame Schwimmer who saw the president several months ago on the same sub ject who was not optimistic then said tonight she believed the president was deeply impressed.
 "The president made no definite promise" she said but 1 think you will hear something from the White House before very long" The posi- tion of the president has been that he has heard nothing from Europe which leads him to believe the time oppor- tune for him to take any steps.
 At the mass meeting resolutions were adopted urging the President to call all neutral nations to appoint rep resentatives to attend conference for constant mediation without arfis- tice and dedicated to find a just set clement of this conflict"
