If Lakeland should become the
capital of one of the new States to
be created by division, tn re would
be no such scandalous ports of
drunkenness as have emanated from
Tallahassee. The superb Lakeland
water leaves nothing to be desired
in the way of a beverage, and it can
be secured in unlimited quantities
and unsealed packages. A legislator
who. having tasted it, would prefer
booze. is fit only for treason, strata
gem and spoils, and should be SEN
fenced to transfer to Tallahassee.

as proposed in the joint resolution
presented to the Legislature yester-
day, Lakeland's pre-eminent fitness
for becoming the capital of the new

her the distinction by common con-
sent. We are already specializing

The tolerant and humane spirit
of the American people, as well as
it's thoroughly homogeneous charact-
err, is evidenced by the fact that,
with the large German population
in this country, there have been
practically no racial disturbances at
tendant upon the feeling of indig-
nation engendered by the sinking
of the Lusitania. In England, it Is
different, and there have been many
outbreaks of race hatred. From the
widely dissimilar elements that go
into the American melting pot there
comes forth the best in character
and citizenship that the world pro-
duces today.

kenness against one legislator at
Tallahassee, that 25 years ago the
same charge might with equal truth

all the members. That drunkenness
is decidedly on the decrease among
all classes and conditions of men is
a gratifying certainty. Every per-
son who has reached middle age can
remember that when young, in his
or her home town, there were a
number of habitual drunkards, and
that intoxication was very COM
mon thing among the people. Con-
ditions in this respect are greatly
changed; and the change seems to
have been brought about less by
restrictive or prohibitive laws than
by change of sentiment produced
by educative forces. The taste fol

COTTON UNCHANGED
 . BY GINNING FIGURES
Trading Quiet and Market Closed Steady at a Net
 Decline

New York. November 22.--The official ginning figures failed to inspire any fresh interest of importance in the cotton mar ket here today and trading was generally quiet, with January easing off from 1l.S0c to Il 65c and closing at 11.6Sc. The general list closed steady at net decline of to g points.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of points to a decline of points, the near months being higher in response to relatively firm cables and
 steady over Sunday spot advices from the south. The census report showing s.777- 794 bales ginned to November 14 was al-
 most exactly in line with expectations and appeared to be the signal for considerable realizing or liquidation, under which prices soon eased off from the best with March selling down to 12.osc to n.slc, while May declined from 12.17c to 12.o7c. At this level the market steadied on buy ing of near months by spot houses, while there appeared to be some Liverpool buy ing of the later deliveries, and prices ral- lied several points from the lowest during
 the middle of the morning, with March
 selling up to 19.9sc and May to 12.14c.
 Trading then became very quiet and To-
 cal operators seemed to be hesitating be-
 tween the bearish view of the export sit
 uation and the talk of firmness among spot holders combined with predictions that scarcity of effective fertilizer would
 prevent any material increase in the crop next year.
 It was reported that private cables had been received from Barcelona requesting that no further firm officers were cabled there for the time being, owing to pro- hibitive costs of importations and the un- settled state of trade. The course of the war in the near east also seemed to con tribute to the pessimistic view Of export business, but reports were received late in the afternoon of a better spot demand at Savannah. Closing prices were or points off from the best. The ginning flg- ures were most generally compared with returns of the season of 1910, which fa- vored crop estimates of around 100000
 bales.

MODERATE DEMAND i STEAD|ES MARKET
Cotton Market Shows Dis position to Recover, But Without Display of
 Strength

New Orleans. November 22.-Sman price changes Were registered in the cotton market today notwithstanding the bullish report on ginning from the census bu- reau. Trading was light and q moderate demand steadied the. market after the de- cline in the early trading.
 On the opening the near months rose points, but this was followed by quick sag which carried prices g points under Saturdays last quotations. During the remainder of the session the market showed disposition to recover, but with out any display of strength The close was steady at a net loss of to points.
 The census report of S,777.794 bales ginned up to November was fully in keeping with bu'lish ideas, but it did not stimulate any demand of consequence. Bulls claimed that the figures confirmed crop estimates of under 12.000,009 bales in- cluding linters. Bears contended the re- turns were small because sections like Oklahoma were late and not we'll up with their ginning.

SMALL ADVANCE IN WHEAT MARKET
Announcement of Small De- crease in Canadian Sup
 ply Sends Prices Up

Chicago, November 22.--Although de- pressed most of the time today wheat rallied in the last half hour, influenced by a falling off in the. Canadian visible supply The market was strong at Ad sse to ssc advance, with December al s1 .OSs4 and May at sl.o61s.
 Corn finished shade off to i41ssc up; oats virtually unchanged, and provisions varying from Ice decline to a gain oi 40c.
 At the end of the session the fact was plain that speculative short sellers ot wheat had been over enthusiastic throughout the greater part of the day Late announcement of a small decrease in the Canadian visible supply came as a surprise and found the market almost completely devoid of offers Attempts by shorts to cover made prices run ur at once with an impetus which even in
 the latest trading had received no per- |ceptible check. The undue confidence of
 the bears came about largely as a result of the congestion of supplies at the sea- board, where demurrage charges were in
 immediatae prospect. Reports that a 
 blockade of Greece was in operation and that 8 Scandinavian steamship line to the United States had been compelled to abandon all traffic were effective early against the wheat bulls, and so, too, were enlarged receipts northwest and southwest, with a prospect of continued fine weather. On the other hand, the huge increase in the United States visi- ble supply total appeared to have been f,,tl ad in nd
 Corn swayed with wheat A factor in the comparative strength late in the session was a notable decrease of coun- try offerings to arrive, whereas the out look during the first part of the day was for more liberal receipts. Oats held with in narrow limits. Houses that usually act for the seaboard were at times good buyers of the December delivery.
 Most of the options in the provision market scored a decided advance. The main reason was that the weeks average weight of hog arrivals here was the light est on record, and that consequently the production of lard might be reduced to a serious extent.

LOW Ebb REACHED FON STOCK EXCHANGE FThe Balkan Situation and
 Domestic Politics Factors in Buying Slump

| New York, November 22.-Dealings Hn stocks today marked the low ebb of any regular session for several months.

 Domestic politics was a factor in Ihulged concerning the main points of the Presidents forthcoming message to Congress, more especially the oues- sion of national defense. Wall street expressed the belief, however that no
 legislation inimical to legitimate busi- hess would be proposed.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. November 22-(Special. ) The action of the market today on the publication of the bullish ginners' re port represents the idea of the trade that the slow movement of the crop for export means that regardless of the size Of the crop the market is apt to decline under the pressure of spots. In other words the same views are again finding expression as prevailed during the summer. Wall street selling was the feature of the morning. after which the market relapsed into dullness that in- creased the pessimistic feeling we have noted as the views of the local trade

Serbs Join Monteneprins

Paris, November 22-An official statement received at the Montenegrin consulate indicates that part of the Servian army has retreated into Mon tenegro, joining with Montenegrin troops on the Linn river. The state ment says these troops were attacked heavily along the river Friday. It fol- low s: "Our troops, with Servians, sus- tained heavy assaults on the River Linn on Friday. Our army in the Sagjak of Novipazar was obliged to retire on the principal positions of defense. On the other fronts artillery engagements con- tinued. Several infantry attacks were repulsed."
