hoped that there will be no repetition
of this offense. The day Of cheap
politics is happily over. If men can
not go into battle without resorting to
the fighting methods of fifty years ago
they had better remain from the lure
Of politics.
In this respect it must be pointed
out that the camp4 gn in this city was
conducted on remarkably high
plane. The chairman Of the Repub-
lican town committee, E. N. Humph-
rey, after one or two experiences with
national speakers who came here and
made personal attacks on the Presi-
dent, warned all future orators that
they must confine their remarks and
arguments to the issues of the cam
paign and not to the personality Of
the man in the White House. Had
the men at the head of affairs in other
towns and cities and states throughout
the Union had the foresight of Mr..
Humphrey the leaders Of the party in
Washington might not now have such
a difficult time diagnosing the case.

Unless there is a wild outburst of
bullish speculation, the 20-cent level
for cotton is likely to attract consid-
| cradle selling, not only of futures,
| but of spots as well. It is we'll known
| to the trade here that some big lines
| Of spot cotton have been held for
| some time for the purpose of realiz-
ing 20 cents per pound for the staple.
The present demand, If it continues,
Will probably force the basis up in
this market to point where all this
cotton can be readily absorbed. How
far beyond that point the market will
go depends upon the attitude of spot
holders, some of whom will un-
doubtedly hold out for 25 cents per
pound as long as the market contin-
ues to show an advancing tendency.
The majority of holders, however, are
likely to accept 20 cents per pound
for cotton, at least until after Christ,
mas, when the statistical position of
the staple at that time may warrant
a further advance.
Some stir was caused in spot cir
cles here today by a report that the

der requisitioning all the available
freight room on English vessels for
shipments of grain and metal. A dis
patch from Galveston partly con-
frmed this report, stating that one
half of the freight room on English
vessels in that port was being re-
served by order of the British gov
eminent for shipments of grain and
metal. The effect Of this order, the
dispatch stated. was to advance the
ocean freight rate on cotton. Freight
rates are already at a high level, and
to stimulate the export movement to

Supreme confidence prevails among
bullish operators in this market,
though, and it is doubtful even if the
British government stopped cotton
shipm ents absolutely whether it would
weaken the market very materially.
The view is taken that any restric-
ton that the British government
be only temporary, and that the Eng
lish mills would have to get more
cotton from this side or close down,
with possibly disastrous consequences
to British foreign trade. At any rate,
English buyers, 1T is thought, would
continue to pick up available lots of
cotton and store the cotton on this
side until such time as freight room

An Open Season.

The vigor with which winter has
closed in thus early upon a consider
able section Of our land acts as an
Inspiration for our weather prophets,
We had an eccentric autumn III some
respects; things did not happen Just
as usual. and this encourages predio-
ton of like eccentricities to come.
What is our winter to be, taking
into account the vagaries of it's pre-
ceding months? Perhaps the most
gratifying forecast is that of q pro-
fessional fisherman of Dobbs Ferry,
on the Hudson, who announces al
ready the capture of shad in the nets
which he set for the fall catch of
striped bass. Shad as everyone
knows, start upon their annual trip to
the spawning grounds in the spring,
Have they missed their calculation.
or are we to have an open sea-
SON.?
Hereabouts we do not accept the
shad as infallible in the correction of
the almanac. And there yet remains
a wide range of guesswork regarding

THE JOY OF 1T ALL.

An aviator flying over the Yale
Bowl on Saturday, which fortunately
did not happen, would have had a re
markable view Of q stupendous
scene,-78,00O people banked from
| the bottom to the top on the inside
| of that mammoth cup. He would
| have heard the cheering and the
| shouting and the singing of that mass
| of humanity. He would have seen
the indulations and wave like m lotions
or down with the happenings on the
| bottom of the bowl When there
| were remarkable plays the crowd
arose as one. When the suspense was
$4,000 people act in unison at any
given nom emit the sight is one for
the gods.
Never before in the history of the
country has such a gathering attend-I
ed football game as that which wit
messed the annual gridiron contest be-
tween Yale and Harvard in New Ha-
ven on Saturday. At the Army and
Navy game the first year it was played
at the Polo Grounds there were pres
ont some fifty thousand people. At
the Harvard game last year at
Cambridge there were present all Of
sixty thousand. But Saturdays game
set the new high mark. The official
figures place the mum Der in attend
based on the number of seats sold.
Allowing for two thousand who were
at work as ushers and attendants the
mum Der Is swelled to eighty thousand,
made possible because Of the gigantic
proportions of the Yale Bowl. Had
seating accommodations been provid-
ed for 100000 people it is probable
that number would have been present
Football as it IS now played is a
spectacular sport. 1t is somewhat
different from the old game played
in the late eighties or the early nine
ties Those were the games that had
to be viewed from close range, OLn0T-
wise the effect was gone. With
piunging fullbacks and flying wedges
the spectator had to be close enough
to hear the compact of leather head
guards and the clash of Drawn. The
grinding and Juggling demanded close
inspection to see what was happen
ing Now it is different. Open plays
are in order, there is none of the saw
egery Of other days and the sport
can be viewed from a goodly distance
and the effect is the same. In the
years to come the Yale Bowl may be
made larger. 1t can be utilized for
the one great game of the season,
as the automobile has become as
great a part of the gridiron sport as
the game itself. There is even joy in
a line of automobiles four abreast
and as long as the eye can see,-all
going to the game.
