AN INTERESTING sIDELIGHT

Washington February 6.-(Special) W hen the House put through the Shackel- fe,rd good roads bill, that which would ap- propriate $25, 000,000 annually for highway construction throughout the several .)tates of the union, the measure was re- ferred by the request of it's author, to the Senate committee on agriculture and not to the Senate committee on postof- fees and post roads,
 The reasons assigned is that the roads committee of the Senate, of which Sen ator Bankhead is chairman, is not kindly disposed to the type of good roads bill of which the Shackelford bill is represen- tative. Senator Bankhead and other members of the roads committee, ire attitude of the committee, expressed in should be re-referred to the proper com mittee The fight on the floor waxed warm, but was not conclusive. Postpone ment was ordered to such time as Sena- tor Gore, chairman of the agricultural committee, might return from a trip home.
 A measure similar to the Shackelford measure lost in the Senate last year, tnd the bill, as at present constituted, is des- tined, it is believed, to fare badly. Sen ator Bankhead, as heretofore noted, has good road bill of his own, and it is said that the Senate looks with particular favor on his measure At any rate, the advocates of the Shackelford bill are not willing that their pet be intrusted to the tender mercy of the Bankhead com mittee.

PEOPLE OF STATE EVENLY DIVIDED
 ON PREPA PAREDNESS
Correspondents of Senators Underwood and Bankhead Are Few on Important
 Military Issue
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. February 6.-(Special. As result of the Presidents "prepar- edness" tour have the people of Ala bama become moNe insistent. that their representatives struggle for bigger navy and bigger army?
 The various secretaries of Alabama congressman shake their heads
 We continue to receive" they say, "an average of two letters a day from our constituents-and sentiment is di- vided."
 One peculiar fact has been devel- oped, however, Mrs. Marian Martin, secretary to Senator Underwood, de- clared today that as a rule, typewrit- ten, preferably dictated, letters from Alabama. stress an imperative need for the nations preparation, but letters written in ink or with the pencil, or scraw1ed on wrapping paper urge the senator to oppose preparedness. Cecil A. Beasley, secretary to Senator Bank head, declared that he. too, had made the identical observation.
 The conclusion reached is that the people of the state who are effected even by a slight increase in taxation, are the opponents of preparedness" and the "militarists" are those whose patriotism is sustained by their purse.
 At that, judging from the letters re- ceived by Alabama's representatives, the state is fairly well divided, and the issue if referred to the people, would, in all probability, be regarded as one of doubtful outcome

WEEKLY RE VIEW OF
 THE STOCK MARKET

New York, February 6.~-The unsub- stantial character of the midweek re- covery from low levels recorded in the final days of January on the stock eX- change was demonstrated by the lack of recuperative power shown since. General concern over the Lusitania controversy caused a renewal of heavy selling and obliterated a very large per centage of the gains scored in the in- termediate period.
 Prospects of a prolonged struggle between coal operators and anthracite miners, growing out of the latter's de- mands, constituted another element of uncertainty. There was a conflict of opinion regarding the outcome of Pres ident Wilson's western tour and ap- preaching political conditions were brought into bolder relief.
 Aside from the danger threatening Washington's relations with Berlin, other foreign affairs called for atten- tion by reason of the course of ex- change. Rates on France, Italy, Rus sia and some of the minor European countries pointed plainly to the urgent necessity of fresh relief measures, which were attended by rumors of ad-

between England and Germany" was suggested
 Yes said Lord Northcliffe," Ger many did not think England would come into this war. That was one in- stance where she was not efficient, she was not prepared for us. It is shown by the fact that she had few commerce destroyers at sea-less than dozen wasn't it?-and no means of preventing her own complete conner cial paralysis by the British fleet. She mad counted on a continental war, a land war. without England, and Eng lands entry was her greatest surprise, completely destroying her projects, and calling for this colossal expenditure of men and supplies. But being in Eng land and Germany know there is some thing more than d continental land war at issue, great as that is, and that there Is racial mastery at stake-the Saxon or the Teuton, which civilization will go forward in the future. and which backward? Both of them can noto go forward together as in the past The issue is too great for that and must be finally determined"
 SUPREME ISSUE
 Now an editor came in with proof Lord Northcliffe looked at it, long searching look from the headline to the end. Then heh said: "Yes,' and the editor disappeared.
 And the Northcliffe press and it's critics" was suggested.
 "Oh, yes" said the embodiment of the "Northcliffe press" Its critics, like Othello, they would be nothing if they were not critical. The press in England is performing a useful service, just as it is in America. It is the eX- ponent of public opinion. That is the service it performed in the military service campaigns-iit drove home that the overwhelming force of public opin- ion was against the stay at-home man, and for national unity in fulfilling every obligation required by the war. There are a few men still alive who are deaf to the voice of public opinion, who think England is ruled by small aristocracy of private opinion. But England is a great democracy in which public opinion is supreme, and the press in advocating the military serv- ice bill merely recorded the mass Of public opinion against individual prl- vate judgment You remember what Pope said: Envy will merit as it's shade pursue, but, like a shadow, prove the substance true That seems to fit the case of the critics-their envy proves the substance true"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THECOTTON MARKET

New Orleans, February 6.-Heavy of ferings, generally ascribed to short sell CTS, depressed the cotton market last week and the net change in prices was loss of 13 to IT points. At the low est the trading months were q 10 27 points under the preceding week s close. Coupled with the short selling was more or less liquidation of long cotton, but market comment was that the long side appeared to be well sold out.
 Talk of an increased acreage in the early part of the week and uneasiness over the international political situa- tion, later were the main bearish in- fluences at work. Against the bearish claims of large planting were the high water in the Mississippi rnyer. the high cost of fertilizers, the organized effort being made to reduce acreage and the

GEORGIA IN ARMS

Washington, February 6.-(Special) Georgia, through it's delegation, is vio- lently protesting against the plan of the government to secure an indictment against Thomas F.. Watson, and conduct the prosecution against him in some other state than Georgia.
 The intimation is that while Watson, according to the charge, disseminated through the mails obscene literature bear ing on the Leo M. Frank case, in Geor- gia he cannot be convicted-the gov ernment claims, cannot be tried in justice to the government.
 The Georgia delegation declares that the insinuation is "scandalous and an un- iIacessary reflection against the good name of the state.

| fear of further damage in the boil wee. vii districts of the belt Bullish traders would not admit the probability of any considerable increase in planting. The spot markets were carefully watched, but reports from them were more favorable than otherwise and the unwilliugness of holders to meet de clines in the contract market. together with some little improvement in the demand. contributed to seady the tone of the futures market
 This week the relations between this country and Germany are bound to be a feature of great importance and any developments in this situation probably will be quickly reflected by price changes in the contract department. Until there is more settled tone to international politics other questions will fail to have their usual weight, Next to politics is the question of acre age, but it is too early in the season to glean much accurate information upon this subject.

 It is a fair assumption that this situa-
 tion will be taken in hand by Ameri-
 can bankers now on their way to Lon
 don and Paris.
 By their irregular trend it was evil
 dent that war shares were undergoing
 further revision by spectators and in-
 vestors. Reports of new contracts from abroad were helpful to some of these stocks, while others, notably Crucible Steel and Lackawanna Steel, were strong on circumstantial rumors of deals or mergers.
 All the metal issues were subject to pressure but evinced more resistance
 than other fndustrials, the high prices obtaining for copper and allied prod ucts proving a substantial factor An nual statements issued by a few of the independent steel companies re- 1 flected the remarkable exhibit of the United States Steel Corporation in the preceding week.
 Railroads in all sections continue to submit highly favorable reports for De-
 cember, but tonnage in the middle west is easing General trade advices are somewhat mixed, but bank clearings indicate a broad expansion of business, with further marked improvement in textiles.

 The advocates of the bill, however, con- tend that the reduction in postage cost will produce an increase in business. They declare that for many years preced- ing the war Canada carried local mail for cent, and that when, due to the ex- igency of war, the rate was doubled, no increase in revenue was produced.
 The campaign for reduction is being conducted under the direction of the Ma tional One-Cent Letter Postage associa- ton, with headquarters at Cleveland.
