WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Prices Rise S4.25 Per Bale During Week Over Low
 Level for Month

New York, November 26-The cotton activity during the past week with prices selling about %.25 per bale above the low level of the month on covering and re- newal of bull support. This advance has accompanied reports of an improved spot demand in the south and has probably been promoted by tendency to modify opinions both as to the export outlet and the size of the crop. When prices were declining nere earlier in the month. crop estimates were in circulation ranging up from about 12.500,00 to F, ,8900 900 bales, in- cluding linters, while the small volume of clearances and the absence of any impor- tant fresh buying for export account combined with high freight rates and the unsettled situation with reference to sterling exchange created a very unfavor- able impression with reference to foreign takings. More recently, however private crop estimates have been running smaller with reports issued today, indicating crop of between Il, 100000 and 100000 bales, including linters, while the rela- lively firmer ruling in Liverpool and re- ports of a more active China demand in Manchester have been factors on the ad- vance.
 The government eStlfflate oI tue CrOp will not be issued until December 10, and
 in the meantime ginning returns to De- eember i will become available. but the more recent private estimates have been considered fin line with the amount of cot ton ginned to November IA, which has had a tendency to strengthen local expecta- tions that official crop figures will indi- cate growth of around or under Il, ,0o0 bales, excluding linters. Continued &C., tivity in the domestic goods market has also encouraged the advance. while the prompt stopping of December notices and large spot sales in Liverpool over the local holiday were partly responsible for to- days sharp upturn. Some, however, have attributed the appearance of an improved spot demand to the filling out of end month engagements, and it was reported that today's advance above 12 cents for January met some scattered southern hedge selling as well as realizing. The reported scarcity of effective fertilizer has been more emphasized during the week and has been reflected in some- what more active demand for early new crop deliveries.

Capital thus invested and loans made in this manner are inevitably succeeded by de- sirable trade.
 so ALSO IN RUSSIA
 Russia has been regarded since the European war began as offering unsur- passed opportunities for the investment of American capital This is partly due to the fact that in all the communica- tions between representatives of Russia who have been in the United States since the fall of last year and American men and institutions that represent cap
 tal the intimations have been plain and sincere that Russia would look to the United States as soon as the war is closed for assistance in developing her resources The president of the City Bank, MT. Vanderlip, is reported to re- gard the opportunities open in Russia as perhaps equal to those which we are to find in South America. He, how ever, is not alone in this view. The late George Westinghouse. who had gained some RneWleuBe or conditions Tn RuSSla, was persuaded for some years before his death that Russia would sooner or later turn to the United States for assistance. since he learned that there would be a remarkable awakening of Russian people to their resources They, how ever. needed not so much money as ad- vice and constructive leadership It was a need of that kind which persuaded the Czar in 1892 to summon an Ameri- can engineer Captain Whistler, to Russia and to give him free hand in the construction of the Air Line rail- road from St. Petersburg to Moscow. George w. Perkins. who was for some months in Russia studying the agricu1- tural possibilities. told his friends upon ! his return that in his view these were fully as great as were the opportunities in the United States west of the Mis- sissippi. which the construction of the transcontinental railroad system made 1t possible marvelously to develop.

 tions was heard.
 The United States stands firmly on

 in any ships and believes its position

 that this mas become debatable ques-
 ton on account of the changed condi-
 tions and i the two classes of ocean going traffic were separated, the suh-
 marines would direct their attention to
 contraband ships alone.
 The objection to this, however, in
 the opinion of some officials. is that
 the plan still has not provided for fhe humane treatment which international law prescrtbes for the crew of a vessel carving contraband and making no re-
 sistance to visit or search or attempt ing to run a blockade. To torpedo without warning or even to give time to the crew of a vessel carrying con traband to get into small boats. it was pointed out, would leave them to the mercy of the high seas unless a big boat happened to be nearby. This position is taken in the Ameri can note and some officials doubted whether there would be any conceS- sions on this point. for it involves the principles cf humanity for which the United States had taken so vigorous stand.
 Another suggestion widely discussed | by officials is the possible announce | ment by tie allies that none of their | merch hant ships would be armed here after Merchant ships of any nation ality, according to a ruling from the | state department early in the war. have | the right to carry guns of not larger | than six inch caliber for defensive
 purposes only. but by an informal ar ! rangement with the British govern
 ment clearance has been refused to British ships al American ports unless | they disposed of their guns. out of these phases of the question 1 there was a belief in diplomatic quar- | ters. however that some solution of the | questions involved eventually would be ! reached without any repetition in the meantime of such a disaster as befell l the Lusitania.

nection with any institution that is
openly and avowedly antagOnistic to

a religious bigot, because that insd-
tuition calls itself religious?
These are important questions, and
questions which cannot be evaded or
avoided by any person who desires
to discharge his political responsible
tiles as an American citizen. Any in
dividual unbiased enough to ration
ally consider the question must know
that the maintenance and welfare Of
our public schools is most emphat-
ically not a religious question. He
must also know that it is a political
question, since upon the broad, non
sectarian education of our children
for intelligent citizenship depends
the whole theory of our government.
Therefore, he must inevitably regard

RELIGION AND THE PUBLIC
SCHooLS.-The charges and coun-
ter charges appearing in the daily
press concerning the injection of the
religious issue into politics appears
to dodge the real issue. 1t is safe to
assume that any writer or any pub
LEGATION that attempts to confuse
these subjects in the minds of the
voters is not a reliable public guide
upon any matter Of Importance to
the public.
Religion, as commonly understood,
refers simply to mans relations with
his Creator. Politics has to do with
mans relations to man, and includes
his theories as to the best forms of
government and the best methods of
establishing and maintaining them.
Everybody recognizes the fact that
religion in itself has nothing to do
with a mans qualifications for Of
fee, and any person who votes either
for or against a candidate solely on
account of his religious beliefs, dis
regarding all other considerations, is
not loyal American citizen.
But, the question is, where should
we draw the line between religious
belief and political cOnviction2 If,
for instance, I am firmly convinced
that our public schools are vital ne

for the maintenance and perpetual
