The Cotton Futures Decision.

One Of the crazy performances Of
the same Democratic Congress which
put the lunacy known as the La Fol-
lette seamen's law on the statute
hooks was the cotton futures act.
This provided in substance for the
Government regulation Of the cotton
exchanges, not only In this country
but abroad, by invoking Federal tax
ing power to discriminate against ex-
changes which did not comply with
the Government rules. Apparently
the cotton futures act has received
Its coup de grace from the decision
Of Judge HOUGH in the Federal Dis
trict Court in this city that 1t never
was a law because 1t was passed in
~cOntravention Of the constitutional re-
quirement that all bills to raise reve-
nue. must originate in the House OF
Representatives.
On appeal from Judge HOUGn the
Government will hardly have any new
case to present on this point. The
act bore on it's face the COngressiona!
rertifcnti0n that the measure Orlgl-
mated in the Senate. and the Govern
ment found IL impossible In the Dis,
trict Court argument to go behind
the returns. The result Is that not
only has Il lot OF legislative effort at

men regarded at the time az a clever
rus TO deal a blow at the highly or
Ranized and scientific market main
tanned on the regular cotton exchanges
Of this country and Europe.
When this cotton legislation was
pending two bills received considera-
rton. A Senate bill proposed to use
Government control Of the mails and
telegraph and telephone lines to cOerce
the cotton exchanges into submission
to Government regulation Of cotton

That Half Million Loan.

So many think that the $500,
600, 900 this country is to loan to
France and England will go out
of the country, that an explana-
ton may be welcomed by our
readers. Not a dollar will go out
of this country. Instead, Amer
lean manufacturers of shoes cloth
ing, blankets, tents, camp mater
ial, meats, and many other things
will get it. Some of it will go to
pay for wheat, corn, and other
farm products that must be Sc
cured in this country. All that
the French and English govern
ments can do will be to place
bonds in the hands of American
bankers who, in turn, will dis
tribute the money among our
own people who sold goods
abroad. 1t amounts to almost the
same thing as loaning money to
our own manufacturers and farm
ers to make and raise more
goods.

GOVERNOR BRUMDAUGH HERE.
Governor, With Party in Sixteen Autos
Stops in McCOHnelIsburg Monday.
Governor Makes Speech.

On Monday, Governor Brum-
baugh and a party Of friends left
Harrisburg for a tour of the prin-
cipal roads Of the State. Natur-
ally, the great Lincoln Highway
would first be covered, since this
"trunkline" across the State is
destined to be the stem for a
great number of branches that
will eventually ramify every part
Of the Commonwealth, and con-
meet with good roads in surround
ing states. Accordingly, this
road was entered at some point
east of here and followed over
the mountains to McConnellsburg
They were met on Cove noun
tain by an escort of honor from
McConnellsburg. The party ar
rived at about 2:30 p. M, and
stopped between First and Sec
ond streets where the school chill
dren OF the Borough had been
stationed to welcome the Cover
nor. AS soon as the children
finished singing America, the dis
tinguished visitor was cheered
and his first greetings were CIV
en- to the boys and girls. In a
brief address, Governor Brum-
baugh told the two thousand
hearers that he had but recently
visited many parts of the United
States, and that he had seen no
country that presented the num-
berless advantages of the Old
Keystone State with its variety
of industries, its majestic noun
tains fertile valleys, good homes
and the preponderance of senti-
ment for clean living. He pre-
dicted that a completed system
Of good roads would stimulate
social and business intercourse,
and urged the young people to
acquaint themselves with tn e
State-as he is doing-in order
that they may know its glories
and advantages. He laid great
stress on the educational advan-
tages of being able to keep in
touch with people in other parts
by means of good transportation.
The party was in town about fif-
teen minutes. They went west
ward to Bedford county.

Business First.

Who will say now that the wo-
men cannot transact business and
manage intricate political cam
paigns equal to anything the
men can do? On Monday the
local committee had quietly ar
ranged to entertain at lunch the
visitors who travel with the Lib
erty Bell. Governor Brumbaugh's
party was known to be following
close on the heels of the Suffrage
party, and it was up to the latter
to handle the crowds without
confusion. Lunch was ready for
the visitors when they arrived,
but they preferred to cater to the
convenience and comfort of the
waiting thousands first. With
empty stomachs, and with ap-
petites whetted by the delightful
ride over Cove mountain, the
speakers entertained the people
until the arrival Of the Govern
or's party. They then gave way,
and inside of two minutes, the
same crowd was listening to Mr..
Brumbaugh while the visitors
were taken to Miss Mollie Seylar's
where the local committee had
prepared lunch. We heartily con-
gratulate our ladies for the
smooth working out of the pro-
gram. Would men have shown
more devotion to a cause when
their stomach, were calling for
attention?

Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty years ago, the Civil War
had just closed, and the Boys in
Blue that were lucky enough to
escape the enemy's bullet or the
grave of Southern prison were
on their way to their homes in
the North. For a grand final re-
view, President Johnson had the
boys assemble at Washington
and with joyous tread they then
marched up Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. After lapse of half a cen
tury, the Boys who had been
lucky enough to withstand the
ravages of time, were invited
back to Washington, and last
Wednesday the National Capital
had the unique pleasure of wit
Messing the same old boys" in
procession on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. From every state in the
Union, the boys gravitated back
to Washington, and they had the
time of their lives. From this
county went Dyson Fraker, Solo,

D. Matthias, ]. W. Hoop, D. M.
Kendall, Tommy Hamil, Or. w.

Aluminium.

The metal known as aluminium
is said to constitute Is per cent.
of the earth's crust-a much
greater quantity than any other
metal. But owing to the diff
Guilty of extracting it from ores,
it sells for more than ten times
as much as iron. 1t is about
one-third as heavy as iron, or
steel, and can be made just as
strong for structural purposes.
Some day, perhaps, a process
will be found that will make al
uminum as cheaper cheaper
than steel.

SEPTEMBER HONOR ROLL.
Look Over the List and See Whether
We Have Forgotten TO Print Your
Name.

If your name is not on the
September list it is because il
was on the August list, or some
other list within a year: or, be-
cause when you read the August
list and resolved that you would
have your name on the Septem-
ber list, it just Slipped your
memory" and you forgot about
it until this minute. o well,
your name will look good in the
list next month.
On the goth of September, the
FULTON COUNTY News started
on the seventeenth year of its
existence. 1t does not seem long
since the Editor was attending
sales, barn raisings, soldiers re-
unions and other gatherings ask
ing you whether you would SUPP
port a third paper" in Fulton
as county, if one should be start
ed. Three hundred and eighty
people said yes" Of those $50
people, only a few took a risk in
obligating themselves to take it
for a longer period than three
months subscribing for 10
weeks at 10 cents. Of course,
the paper was not in sight and
there were many predictions that
if not still-born, it would die in
early infancy. 1t proved to be a
healthy youngster until now it is
head and shoulders above its old
er brothers.
Many of the $50 charter men,
bers" have passed to their final
reward. Most of the others are
still on the list, and proud of
their foster-child.
The News now has a circula-
ton never dreamed of in a Fulton
County paper, and its list is grow
ing every week. This condition
is largely due to the loyalty of
its friends who welcome it into
their homes every week, and do
what they can to interest their
