The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-05-21
EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

AGAIN a wicked Republican minority is re-
n sponsible for all the legislation enacted in
three trials.
IF THIS shall be another case OF Nwatchfui
L waiting" you will be mighty apt to hear
something drop.
CHOIJLD Germany win in this war and take
- notion to treat us as Japan is treating china,
could we offer adequate protest?
WHAT care the Regulars about broken prom
w ises SO long as they have their snouts in
into the swill trough clear up to the jowes
THE patriotism of the Legislature in offering
L to uphold the President would have been
in better taste if had done anything for its own
State
THE forced resignation from the State Senate
L of Hon. NEWT WHITE has not added any
thing to the prestige of the Democratic party IN
Tennessee.
At FIRST. Mr. BRYAN said: "We have no
n official knwledge that the submarine which
sunk the Lusitania was German. May be II
was a Swiss!
AT LAST we have Secretary OF State who
N permits President to write all OF the State
papers except the signature. Isn't WOODROW
the versatile kid!
ONE K. D. KELLER, of Memphis, is authority
~ for the statement that the day of bosses is
over in Tennessee. Has he no acquaintance
with one E. H. CRUMP?
COLOMON said that pride goeth before fall.
- If this country ever gets too proud to ngnt
in defense of its honor and the protection OF Its
citizens, it will get some fail.
WHETHER stealing part of a county or lsg, y
w islating out of office men elected ny the
people to serve them, it has all been one and
the same thing with this Legislature.
THE Springfield Republican says that Congress
l should not be called for this is no time for
talking to the man at the wheel. Right-o, tor
the man at the wheel would do all the talking.
THE statement that American flags we're laid
L over the bodies of the victims of the Lusl-
tania is a sad commentary on the protection
that Americans have alway believed themselves
entitled to.
THIS Legislature was not elected ! to carry GU.
the pledges set forth in the Democratic
State platform. Its sole aim was to discredlt
Governor HOOPER and to build up machine
that would perpetuate the Democratic party IN
power.

and 4 disposition TO reduce commitment
r-.or TO the publication OF the Govern
men, report on Thursday caused a
steady market in cotton yesterday. The
close showed a net gain OF 5 to IL
points.
several private crop reports were is
sued and they failed to give the impress
SION that the crop had showed much II
cry Improvement during June In spite
OF the fact that the trade had taken the
view that the weather was generally
favorable. There was nothing to ac-
count for the sharp change OF front at
Liverpool. hut private cables said the
market had improved on good SPOT de-
maud.
The trade is looking forward to the
publication of the report OF the bureau
OF crop estimates, which will be issued
at noon on Thursday. This report Will
give the condition of the crop as well
as the acreage. The trade is committed

one remarkable feature OF the pres
ent agricultural situation In the South
f. the Increase in farming operations,
along with the reduction In cotton acre
age. As an Illustration of this a firm
al Carlisle, Ark, gives the result OF per-
sonal interviews with l25 farmers in
that locality. The acreage OF every
crop showed an increase with the ex-
ception OF cotton, which showed a re-
duction OF &c per cent. The corn acre
age increased +5 per cent. rice. 3 per
cent. oats, las per cent. peas. l5l per
cent, and various other crops l15 per
rent. The figures are interesting as an
illustration OF the extent to which di-
v~ersihcation is being carried in some
parts OF the South.
The Journal Of Commerce in its
special reports yesterday said that Ala
tama during the month of June showed
q small reduction In condition. In Mis-
sissippi there had been a slight Improve
ment. In Arkansas there has been too
much rain and nights have been too cool.
and as a result OF this cotton has suf-
fered slight depreciation for the month,
although the condition was reported
to be somewhat better than for the same
month last year. The Memphis Com
mercidl appeal placed the condition OF
the cotton crop at sos. compared with
so.2 last month. Clement, Curtis q Co.
Of Chicago placed the condition Of the
crop at sos, compared with their own
figures OF $40 last month.
The action OF the market yesterday
indicated a somewhat oversold condi-
ton. II would not be surprising II the
covering movement, which appears TO
have set in, should carry prices some
what higher.
Fixtures closed steady.

THE GRAIN MARKET.
More Demand for Wheat-WeatheP
COMMUNICATION Up.

Foreign purchases helped to sustain
the wheat market yesterday. The buy
ing OF old wheat for export purposes
totalled $50, 900 bushels and there was
absorption Of new wheat for interests
abroad amounting 10 100. 900 bushels,
The demand from the other side was OF
more substantial volume, but the bids
IN numerous instances were below a
.rKing basis,
Some authorities were imbued with
tho idea that the export business recently
had been greatly understated. 1t was
asserted that the Morgan house, acting
for the allied Governments, had quietly
made purchases OF several million
bushels Of wheat and oats from leading
gran concerns Of New York and Chi
cago
40 Affirmation or denial Of the state
mont was received, although significance
WIS attached TO the fairly definite state
W'ni that purchases OF about 20, 900 900
pounds OF provisions had been made last
week through these banking and grain
interests. Large wheat exporters were
rou-committal regarding the report, but
% IL a fact that certain OF these ex-
lnrte's and bankers were In conference
yesterday.
n foreign exchange situation re-
mains a disturbing element in the export
situation, Grain exporters are not in
'Irrd to sell wheat for distant shipment

wheat prices to offset possible deprecia-
ton In the values 81 the grain bills.
