A BIGGER ARMY.-We seem to be
headed sure for a bigger navy, and
along with it probably much bigger
army. First there viii be appropTia-
ton for bigger navy, and then
bigger army to go along with it. Al
ready we have training camp where
business and professional men are to
be made over into army officers, with
another training camp of the same
sort on the way. ,
Then will come the bigger prob
lem-to train priVates to fight under
the officers.
Up to date we have placed our de-
pendence on volunteer army, with
the state militia as the only training
school outside of the regular army.
But because of the state militia hav-
ing been converted into an army of
strikebreakers, hostility has deVel-
oped against it that has made it more
and more difficult to persuade work
ingmen to enlist and take the train
ing that may some day make them
perfectly good gun-fOdder.
It doesn't appear to be hard work
to get members Of the employing
class to train for officers jobs, but
even a whole lot of perfectly trained
officers wouldn't be worth much
without privates to obey orders and
carry the guns.
We simply can't get along without
wordngmen for privates. And that
means that something will have to be
done mighty soon to get the state
militia out Of the strike-breaking

TEDDY'S BLOOD PRESSURE
A lawyer would call this hearsay, but
I got it from man who got it from
a doctor who had doctored Teddy
Roosevelt. The doctor told the man
who told me that Teddy's normal
blOOd-pTessure was much higher
than the blOod-pressure of the rest
of us average humans and hence that
Teddy just couldn't help being siren
Uous.
When the ordinary man works up
an abnormal blood pressure he gets
excited and does things he wouldn't
do with normal pressure. But
Teddy's pressure though normal for
him would be abnormal for the ordi-
nary man, and hence Teddy's brain
works at high pressure all the time
and he simply can't keep still to
save his neck.
So it's Teddy's normal disposition
to hustle around and do things
strenUoUsly, while the rest of us only
get worked up now and then.
This explanation for Teddy's ted
dyness appears to be about as good
as any. don't care if he runs again.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET Prices Decline During Week But Market Steadied
 Toward Close

New York, November 19.-The cotton market has been less active during the past week with fluctuations irregular. Reports of killing temperatures in the belt and bullish view of Saturday con- sumption figures were followed by a spurt of buying which carried the price of January contracts up to 11.95c on Monday but it was evidently considered rather late in the season for frost to materially influence sentiment and re- actions of 80 or 35 points followed un- der realizing and scattering pressure.
 The publication of private crop esti- mates of 12,OO0,O00 bales or over. includ- ing linters failed to inspire aggressive selling at the decline and the market showed a steadier tone toward the end of the week in sympathy with spot mar kets and talk of moderate ginning re- turns.
 Purchases of about 35,000 bales at tributed to Russian trade interests helped check the decline during the mid dle of the week, while the firmer ruling of sterling exchange and gradually di- minishing stocks at Liverpool have tended to color the prediction of an improved demand from exporters.
 Recent reports that the Suez canal had been closed were denied by London cables, but while these rumors had figured in bullish arguments their de- nial seemed to attract little attention, and good part of the weeks business has been attributed to transfer of Liverpool and local spot house interest from near to late months, or to the evening up of accounts for over the census ginning figures expected on Mon- day. Private returns were said to in- dicate a ginning of about S,730, 900 bales to November IA, these figures being con sidered by some of the local statisti- clans as closely in line with 1910, when the amount ginned to November IA was S,7S0, 900 bales. and for the first Novem- Der period 1,434,490 bales. considera- ble difference of opinion remained in evidence as to the probable showing of the governments crop estimate which is due on December 10, however, and there was a feeling around the ring that sentiment in that respect might be in- fuenced by Mondays official ginning figures.

THE BORN CRIMINAL

After nine years experience in the work of the childrens court, I am moro satisfied than ever before that the mod ern method of treating the child of fender as a child instead of as a crim- inal is a great movement forward in tho progress of mankind. was a district attorney at the time when the child offender was treated as q criminal, and know whereof I speak.
 The children that are brought before us are just the same as all other chil- dren The boys are the boys that are caught. They loot the same loot. ''swipe'' the same fruit, and run the same course that their fathers have run. I have never yet seen that strange being known as Q 'born criminal" If every child had a proper home and proper, environment our work in children's court would be light indeed.
 JUSTICE BENJAMIN J. SHOVE,
 No wonder the newly passed law which went into effect July 1 of this year in New York city. provides for a children's court of New York to be established on an independent administrative basis. The treatment of the delinquent child is now completely divorced from all connection with crime.

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, November 19.-(Spe- cial.)-Columbus is elated at having se- cured three big conventions for next year, the State Baptist convention. the State Convention of the Church or Christ, and the State Veterinary association having all decided to amalagamate here in 1916. The State Baptist convention Is the most important of the organizations, as it will bring between 250 and 300 delegates to the city. The city has three large hotels and is therefore amply prepared to take care of the visitors who will come here to at tend the different meetings.
 5G. V. Hannah, who sometime ago filed suit in the circuit court, asking damages in the sum of $15,000 from alleged defama- ton of character, has voluntarily with drawn the suit. The effort to obtain dam ages was predicated upon information given Lowndes county grand jury by MT. Wood, which resulted in the indict- ment of grand larceny. Hannah and a partner, G. IT. Turnbull made a deal whereby they secured temporary control of the Standard Stove works, in which Mr. Wood was one of the principal stock holders, and it is alleged that Hannah wrongfuly disposed of some of the prop erty while the management of the plant was in his hands.
 It is understood that Hannah, after he had filed his bill, became convinced that he had no legal claim for damages, and therefore withdrew the suit.

A man has been murdered by the state strom was executed. Executed on cir cumstantial evidence It Is not for us to question his ideals or ideas on the sub- ject Of politics or economic creed; 1t Is not for us to question his trial; it Is not for us to question the constitutionality of the interference of the governor; but we have right to ask: What right has any group of persons to say that by law they can demand a life for life, ard perpetrate murder through the laws of state? How much longer must we countenance such hateful revenge?
 The United States has been greatly ex- ercised over the death of an infant in Chicago, mental defective with not chance in a thousand for life, not a chance in million for happiness, and yet we sit by and judge sane. ener- getic, capable man, and say, You shall die!'

A pack is maintained at the county convict camp, but it requires about two or three hours to get the dogs into the city, giving the criminal chance to get miles away from the scene Of his crime.
 Several months ago there was a move ment to secure dogs and keep them in the city, but like other movements of
 it's sort in Selma, it was allowed to die out, and nothing more was heard until this last series of robberies began to attract attention.

A move- ment is on foot in Selma to build a lasting memorial to the great negro ed- ucator, and a meeting will be held with in the week to discuss the plans. All negro business houses and institutions possessing pictures of Washington will for 30 days keep the picture draped in mourning
