CALLS COUNTRYMEN
TO ARM AT ONCE
President Declares at New York
that Liberty and Honor Come
Before Peace.
SOUNDS KEYNOTE OF DEFENSE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.--President
Wilson last night opened his per-
sonal appeal to the country for ma
tlonal defense. lie gave warnings that
plans for the readjustment Of the
army must be formulated and carried
out without delay. and solemniy de-
clared he could not predict that the
outlook for the United States would
be as bright tomorrow as today.
Speaking at banduets OF the Railway
Business association and the Motion
Picture Board OF Trade, he sounded
the keynote OF addresses that he
will deliver during the next ten
days in the middle west.
Mr.. Wilson was in a fighting
mood throughout his address. In a
speech delivered early in the day he
declared he always accepted an in
vitation to fight. Tonight he told
the railway, men he was an advocate
Of peace and had struggled to keep
the United States at peace, but he
considered the liberty and honor OF
the nation even more important than
peace.
Woe TO MsrpIOt.
Woe 20 any man who plays marplot
or who seeks 10 make party politics or
personal ambition take precedence over
candor. honor and unselfish, bipartisan
mafl L. hin
Of his defense plan before the railroad
men. He declared that the country ex-
poets action: this IL a year OF accounting.
and the accounting must be definite on
the part of the parties and on the part
Of every Individual who wishes enjoy
the public confidence.
For my part. hope every man in
public life will get what's coming TO
him." said Mr. Wilson. amid laughter
and applause.
The president at both banauets and all
during the days visit TO New York was
greeted with enthusiasm On his ride
between hotels where the banquets were
held last night he was escorted by =
band and the Ninth command OF coast
artillery OF tho New York National Guard.
Thousands OF persons packed the streets
and cheered him as he went by.

where he cast aside almost entirely the
text OF tho address that no had previ-

frequently interrupted by applause.
The president admitted that In mes

Ing. lie declared that he had learned
differently IN the meantime He cited his
recent support OF a tariff commission as
another tbstancc OF a change ON his part,
but declared that previously thcrc wat

Mr.. Wilson spoke of men of high char.
ecter who were ciouding the preDarednesr
issues. lie declared they were provincial
and that the United States could no
longer cut itself off from the rest OF the
world.
The president vigorously discussed his
Mexican policy. He asserted that 10 IN
wade Mexico would mean the losing OF
confidence OF the rest OF the western
hemisphere. He cited the freeing OF Cuba
as an instance OF sood done BY the United
states.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1i--Busness was
smaller than recently on the Cotton Ex-
change at the opening this morning. and
although there was n fairly good demand,
the market was held in check by offerings
from prominent commission house and
room operators. The early tone was barely
steady, with prices unchanged to points
lower.
Liverpool was a moderate buyer here and
Wall street interests also purchased, while
spot houses took the near months. After
the call a better demand developed and the
market held fairly steady
AT the time of the start here prices In
Liverpool were about as due. sh to 10h
points higher. The English market was
narrow, according to private cables, with
some trade calling, a little short covering
and no hedge selling.
Colder weather was reported from the
South. with frost In Tennessee and North
was shown on the Atlantic coast and in the
far west of the belt.
The market became excited in the late
forenoon. when advances carried all deliv-
cries into new high ground for the season,
averaging about II TO 2S points above last
nights closing figures January contracts
sold at 1850, or nearly "a a bale above the
low level OF last Monday.
Realizing was heavy at these prices and
there were reactions Of or 10 points. with
the selling a little more active after the
publication OF the weekly weather report
from New Orleans. although this was con-
sidered about a standoh.

The city authorities are to be con,>
mended for the efforts being made to
suppress the illicit sale of liquor in
Union. This much, every law abiding
citizen is impelled to say, and can
say it without passing judgment upon
any one of the insurance cases now
being tried in the police court Our
people, the great majority of them,
have reached the point that they arc
determined to put down this netar;-
Gus traffic. 1t is trick of certain
ones of the opponents of prohibition
to help break down the law, then raise
the cry: "Prohibition don't prohibit y
The law is thus brought into disfavor.
But this old, time-worn argument has
had its day. 1t is no longer as pur-
suasive as it once was. 1t has, in
fact, about played out. The cry now
is: Persecution" We are told that
prohibition interferes with a mans
personal liberty; that it makes hypo,
critics of people; that it is too drastic.
These and many other statements of
like purport may frequently be heard.
But no thoughtful man is deceived
by these walls. For some months
after the dispensaries closed Union
was dryer than it was ever known to
be. For the past two or three weeks
evidences of the operation of blind
tigers have multiplied. A blind man
could have noticed the difference
From some illegal source the whiskey
was coming. Most assuredly Mayor
Wharton and the city council and po-
Hce force should receive the unQuali-
fed endorsement of every man who
desires to see the laws enforced
against blind tigers. 1t is to be hoped
that the authorities will keep up the
good work begun.
And, if you are in doubt as to the
good results of prohibition, you need
go no further than to investigate the
police records for the past six months
The months preceding the closing of
the dispensaries and the months since
y.
The cases in the police court have
shown wonderful decrease since the
dispensaries closed. Are we now to
SIT idly by and allow the blind tigers
to undo the good work accomplished
What right has a blind tiger to any
sort of consideration 1t is a law
less, evil thing. 1t is in no sense
q help to community. It's fruitage
iB crime and it's methods make Grim
iaals. Let every man and woman
who really desires the suppression
Of these illegal nuisances so express
themselves. Let the authorities know
that you approve the movement to
rid Union of them. 1t will hearten
them if you will so do.

The Union Hospital association,

The Union Hospital association, at
the annual meeting in March, took
some very radical steps, as may be
seen from the front page article pub
lished in this weeks Times. But every
resolution was carried by unanimous
consent, and the case warranted radi-
cal treatment. For eight or ten years
the matter has been dragging along
at poor, dying rate" and it seemed
that under the old regime there never
would be any hospital. 1t is to be
hoped that the new plans will lead to
the erection and operation of mod
ern and adequate hospital for Union.
Read carefully the article on the front
page. Try to figure how you will be
able to take out at least one share Of
stock at one hundred dollars. There
should be a sufficient number of Union
county citizens found to put the hos
pital upon sound financial basis.
